Bits and Pieces

I don't get gas often because I have a 5-7 minute commute to school. However, when I do its usually a stressful experience. While I happen to LOVE the smell of gasoline (explains a lot doesn't it?), I end up leaving the gas station filled with anger. Press start, begin fueling, end fueling. Would you like a receipt? Yes. Printing receipt. See attendant for receipt. Makes me go from 0 - 60 on the crazy meter in .00005 seconds. "Machine?! Are you listening? Your ONE JOB is to print me a receipt. And you can't even seem to do that right." I swear, one day this may be the trigger to a massive coronary. Or a really big zit. And if its the latter, I think I should be able to sue Town and Country for the cost of my On the Spot acne treatment.

I am THAT girl that can't take a compliment. I can't just say "thank you" or "that's very kind" without throwing in a little jab at myself. Example: "Emily, your eyes are gorgeous!" Me: "Thank you, if only the rest of me were as gorgeous as my eyes.” Like today: “Emily, your skirt is so cute!” Me: “Thanks; it brings out the warmest color of pasty in my legs, don’t ya think?” I wish I could just stop at "thank you."

I hate how my ankle injury has turned me in to my own personal thermometer. I tore all the ligaments in my ankle, and had to have surgery (It sucked. Hardcore.). As a result, any time the weather changes, and especially when it gets ridiculously cold, my ankle throbs as if to get my attention. It's annoying. But, these days my scar is looking amazing, thanks to the Donna Karan lotion my mom found. Once again, Mom saves the day. That woman rocks.

We learned this crazy ridiculous Distinctive Feature crap in Phonetics today and I seriously thought my head was going to explode. It's all this plus and minus crap and it's so darn confusing. Because apparently Kat (even teacher from hell, if you recall) felt the need to give me another reason to hate her. I think I have like 7 more class meetings with that annoying woman. Can I get a hallelujah, praise Jesus!?!?

Here is an example of the frustration that was my day.

And here's the explanation of all that +/- crap

Kill me now.

Sprees and Skittles are quite possibly the DEVIL! They sit there in their cute little bright packages acting all better than thou, meanwhile sending me telepathic messages saying "eat me fatty mcgee". Why is it possible that everything that tastes so darn wonderful is so darn unhealthy? Part of that life is unfair bit, I suppose.

Billy Ray Cyrus and his money hungry wife should be locked up. Not only did they birth the popular she-man, otherwise known as Miley, but they also let their 9 year old daughter rock the stripper boots and show me the money miniskirt. Awesome parenting... and dear God, each child is more unfortunate looking than the last one!

I absolutely CANNOT wait for Thanksgiving Break. I have made the executive decision that I will NOT take anything school related. Come 5:30 next Wednesday, my brain is closed for business. Instead, I'll sleep for like 3 days straight and read my girly books to my little heart's delight. Then, I'll cheer on my Red Raiders at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium.

I'm disappointed with People Magazine. Usually, I LOVE it, and I still think it's a great magazine, but they've disappointed me today. They just came out with 2009's Sexiest Man Alive and of all the men in the world, they chose Johnny Depp. Seriously? The man is scraggly and weird and so so odd. Not to mention he is not the least bit sexy. Ugh, annoying.


Of course, McDreamy is on the list and so are many other hot guys, but it sucks that of all the hot males in the world, they chose the weirdest guy EVER.

And seriously how could this hot stud be anything BUT the Sexiest Man Alive?!?

I'm very obviously not an athlete, and in fact I think soccer might be the most pointless sport ever. But. This girl is clearly psycho. I have no idea why she wasn't immediately thrown out of the game after her first little tantrum. In fact, she should be banned from playing again or something drastic. It's just crazy.
