And it spread

I've been a chronic nail biter since I was in kindergarten and thanks to my recent interest in minimal nail art, my nails are the longest they've ever been! So, I went and got a cheap manicure at this little place in Vineland. If I could, I would have gotten them minxed, but there's no where around here that does that. Maybe there's some places in Philly. Be that as it may, it was an experience. It felt like a social experiment! I think it was worth it. My nails look good and they'll be less likely to break or be bitten by yours truly while they're all polished up nice. I probably won't make a habit of it, though. I don't have any money. I didn't even pay for this manicure. My mother suggested I go and get one after I ran all these errands for her. I'll take that kind of exchange!

Had to go up to Ai to take my Art History final today. It was a pretty crazy last class. My teacher had to cancel last week's class because she was in the hospital suffering from a migraine that she's STILL dealing with. She's had it for nearly a month now. Brutal. All that considered, she kind of had a shit fit at this chick that wouldn't take her sunglasses off while she was going over last minute things that we needed to know for our final. Kind of like a review, but more like a really fast last lesson so that we didn't leave our Art History I class without her ever talking about Leonardo Di Vinci and Michelangelo. hahaha She had a fit though. Classic lines? "You see how bitchy you're making me? Have you ever seen me this bitchy? If you make me anymore bitchy than this, I'm going to throw you out of class!" I can't blame her. I found about 90% of that class to be irritating idiots so I'm surprised she was able to remain composed for as long as she did. After a somewhat difficult test, I went and bought myself a turkey burger. It would have been a total win if they hadn't put cheese on it. Next time I'm telling them I'm allergic to cheese. Grr. Then I went home and fell into a time warp and suddenly it was like 4 in the morning and I had to go to bed. It's probably because I was doing stuff like this...

Gotta love Mondays!

This is Steve's hand. It is a medical mystery. Discuss among yourselves.

The terrible two's

My one and only nephew, Samuel, had his 2nd birthday party today. I haven't seen him in months, unfortunately, and he's so big now! I hate saying that cause it's such a cliche thing to say, but it's totally mind blowing how fast they grow and change in such a short amount of time. I know I'm bias, but he's adorable. I could take pictures of him all day. I might not be able to video record him, though. He screams like a little girl. Just like his daddy used to!

Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?

Bout time, right? It was only due time til I did something from The Little Mermaid. I'll always hold a special place in my heart for this movie. In the 4th grade, our school did a Disney Spring Concert and there was a solo part up for grabs during the Little Mermaid sequence. I adored the movie (I think everyone born in 1984 did) and I toat wanted to "be" Ariel, but I was painfully shy. I was one of those kids that sang quieter in choir when the teacher walked by. One day during music class, there was some auditions held for the part; pre-picked girls that he thought would be good. After, there was extra time at the end of class and the teacher asked if anyone else wanted to try out. Shocking to even myself, I raised my hand. And even more shocking, I wound up getting the part. That little solo must have given me some kind of incredible rush because after that I was all about singing. And I have been ever since. So, thanks Ariel. Thanks for being awesome. I still want to sing in a Disney movie, though. That would be siiiiccckkkkkkkkkk!!!!

Mercy street, guys

I was happy with this til I scanned it. This just did not scan well. It looks so much better in person. I fiddled and fucked with it for hours on photoshop trying to increase or at least capture the picture on the page, but this is the best I could do. I'm not thrilled, but at least it fulfills my daily requirement!
When I was younger, I used to sign my name with these symbols. But instead of a robot, a happy face. Which was supposed to stand for Peace, Love, Happiness, and Stars. I know the star doesn't really fit the vernacular flow, but it was necessary because the symbolism went further. Those symbols stood for John, Paul, George & Ringo; each symbol representing each Beatle. Yeah, that's right, I was incredibly lame in school. I'm sure no one is surprised! But, in my defense, it was the 6th grade. Who wasn't lame in the 6th grade? Except Jesus. and John Lennon. and Dakota Fanning. Anyway, I'm glad my childish symbols now include a robot! I'm getting SO less lame in my maturing years!

Today I went out with my mother to run errands and to get what will most likely be my last "fifties" from Aero. For those that are not "in the know", fifties are the once-a-month discount of 50%. You can get two tops, two bottoms, and two accessories for 50% off rather than the everyday discount of 30%. It's a nice deal. I've definitely benefited from that quite often. Be that as it may, on Tuesday when I go in I'm going to be putting in my two week notice. It's highly unlikely that I'll actually be given the opportunity to work two more weeks, but I don't really care. When you lay down the pros and cons, there's a lot of reasons to quit and the discount remains the only reason to stay. And even that isn't that great of a draw since I have absolutely no room in my closet or drawers for anymore clothing! Didn't stop me from getting a few things, though. Felt rather good to be stepping towards the end of Aero! And check out my sweet nails! I got these cheap little stick on nails with stars on them. They're for little girls. Apparently my fingers are so tiny I can wear stick on nails made by a company called "Little Fing'rs". They don't make stick on nails this cute for real women! Oh the perks of having tiny hands!
