I'm a celebrity... apparently.

Spring Break was this past week... A lot of stuff happened, both good and bad. My grandfather has been in the hospital with internal bleeding. The doctors are such geniuses... they can't figure out where he's lost over 4 pints of blood from. Sooooo smart. I hope and pray Grandpa gets better!!

I also went to my old roommate Mandi's wedding to Frank. SO MUCH FUN!!! I love that I got to see Mandi and Allison (another old roommate) after such a long time!! And of course it's fun to see Liz again! I miss living in good ol' 8203 with them. Powdered sugar fights, water balloon fights, singing and dancing around the apartment, a crazy cat, a burned kitchen floor courtesy of Mandi and an exploded boiled egg, a possessed bobble-head Santa... LOTS of memories in that apartment with them! I also caught Mandi's bouquet (WITHOUT knocking anyone down in the process)... I'm 2 for 2 with the last two weddings I've been to. A cute little kid even came up to me at the reception and said, "You caught the bouquet! That means you're going to get married next!"... Gosh, Kid. I hope you're right. And sorry, Liz... I'll let you catch it next time.

My niece also turned three on the 15th. I drove straight to my sister's house from Auburn for the party. Once there, I was approached by another child's mother who said "I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!! You're the one with the online videos! It's so good to meet you!!" ......... Apparently, I'm a celebrity thanks to my facebook videos. And I have fans. Later the lady was leaving and came to me and said "I'm so glad I got to meet you in person!". Awesome. I try to please my fans. I know personal fan meet and greets are important to them...

THEN I went to have lunch with my nephews at their school. I also got to meet my mom's class of second graders. Mom made me sit in a kiddie chair at a desk. Think Billy Madison. My sister Christina was also there with me... I think we almost got in trouble for laughing during my mom's "lecture" on spelling. Oops. After meeting the kids, I was in the cafeteria for my oldest nephew's lunch. I was sitting by myself with the other kids while my sister and nephew got his lunch in the lunch line. I was getting weird stares from the other kids when it happened again... Mobbed by another fan of mine. Another lady came up and said "Can you do me a favor?". I said sure... then she said "Can you post some more of your videos online? Some of your sister??". Seriously... I need to hire a publicist. I can't even go out to lunch without being mobbed anymore. Oh well... being a celebrity isn't always easy, I've found...

And thanks to some little kid, whether from the school, work, or my sister's house, who gave me a wonderful gift: Pink Eye. WTF?! Let's tally on another childrens illness that I've gotten at the age of 22...

Snow in the South?!

IT SNOWED!!! A lot of snow, actually. It snowed over 4 inches on Sunday. I had a huge learning experience when I had to leave Atlanta early Sunday morning once the snow started falling and pretty much drove through a blizzard for nearly 3 hours. I had never driven in snow before.

Once I got back to Auburn, I pull up to my apartment and see a giant 6 foot tall snowman. I've never seen a snowman that big! I didn't even know how to make a snowball. Obviously, I've never been around much snow. Thank goodness my roommate Megan is from Iowa... she even made snow ice cream! How nice! :)

And random videos for the day:

Translator ... I've finally decided to become a professional translator. I could so do it.

French Oral Exam ... this is how I get an A in French. :) You kind of need to know French for this video... After the teacher says she'll fail the student, the student says "Do I look bothered? Look at my face. Look at my face. Do I look bothered? No! Because I'm not bothered!" Then the teacher asks if she behaves like that at home and the student says "Are you disrespecting my family?!" Then she says random French things. Haha

Sorry for all the language-focused videos and such... but I pretty much live and breath foreign languages at the moment. :)

What's going on inside my head.

A look into my random thoughts...

So Dad finally got a job. A good one too. Thank God. Seriously. I kind of feel badly for him though, because the first thing my mom, sisters and I did was divide up his next paychecks so I can get my hair done and we can go to Seaside for our family vacation. Poor Dad... but that's what happens when you have 4 high-maintenance girls in your family (Ok, maybe Christina isn't high maintenance, but I more than make up for that).

I'm having another Tokio-Hotel-induced freak out... Bill changed his hair again. And he looks weird. I thought I didn't like his little dreads, but this haircut is even worse. AND Tokio Hotel's new album has been delayed to late May or early June. Probably because Bill's gone crazy and is off screwing up his hair every other day. I know I'm obsessed. Help. I need an intervention.

Haha... after all this freaking out about Bill's hair and saying that he's crazy for changing his hair, I'm changing my hairstyle. Maybe. I'm not sure if I should keep the whole "Ann Hathaway in Devil Wears Prada" haircut (since I've only had it for 6 months) or go for something different.

I'm still teaching English once a week. I love it more than anything I've ever done before.

I'm dying to paint something on canvas, but I don't know what. I need inspiration. Any ideas?

I really want to learn the Jai Ho dance from Slumdog Millionaire. I'm sensing a new facebook video coming soon.

I've been trying to eat healthier lately. I'm eating lots of fruits and veggies. I have found myself eating a lot of strawberries... but then I cover them in chocolate. Damn.

Today was Ash Wednesday. I didn't go to church. I haven't figured out what to give up for Lent. And I accidentally ate meat today. Oops. Bad Catholic.

I'm addicted to Ralph Lauren and J.Crew at the moment. Bad idea to get hooked on an expensive designer labels when I don't have money.

I have been doing really well in all my classes, but I just got a 79 on the written part of my Spanish Syntax exam. I really hate syntax...

Is anyone else depressed about the whole Rihanna/Chris Brown drama? I used to really like Chris Brown...

I can't get the song "I'm On a Boat" from SNL out of my head. And the songs from the Jonas Brothers glam-rocker skit from SNL.

There's an awesome website called makemebabies.com where you can combine your picture with someone elses picture (even celebrities) to see what your baby would look like. It's kept me entertained for a while... Corbin Bleu and I should NOT have kids. But I will say that Bill Kaulitz and I made pretty cute kids. I could deal with this being my daughter... :)

Long time no post

I haven't posted in a long time... probably because nothing really interesting has happened in my life. I'm just going to school and hanging out with friends. Nothing big.

I did get to meet the baby of one of my best friends. Her name is Charlotte and she's pretty much the most adorable thing ever. She is almost two months old and is such a happy baby. She was very content sleeping in my arms with my soft sweater. This only made my "baby fever" even more intense. Scheisse. I want one.

I'm on a total mission to find Charlotte a baby comb/brush

for her full head of hair (which so has a red tint to it)!

I also started my teaching gig for the semester. I teach English to native Spanish speakers. The woman I am teaching is named Maria. She is 21 and is married with a 3-year-old daughter. She has only been in the US for about a year and is a cook at a restaurant. She is trying so hard to be successful here but is having trouble because she has no one to help her learn the language. Talk about a hard life... I hope I can help her out!

AND... I got an A on both my first French test and our French recording we had to make of us speaking French. I guess I just totally rock at foreign languages! :)

Oh and I'm in desperate need for a traveling buddy. I need to travel somewhere fun this summer... I was supposed to go to Puerto Rico since my parents and I were skipping out on Europe (*tear*), but now my parents are skipping out on PR too. I HAVE TO TRAVEL! I'll seriously be sick if I don't. No joke. I'm a restless soul that can't stand to be in one place for a long time. 2 years is waaaaay past my breaking point. So travel with me! Liz! Andrea! Christina! Allison! Anyone! I'm up for anything!

OBAMA!

Yesssss. Finally. Barack Obama is now officially the president of the United States. And holy crap does he have a huge job ahead of him. As for George W. Bush, I will kind of miss him. Sure, he didn't exactly make the best decisions 90% of the time, but I won't criticize since there is no way I could do any better than he did. And I'll sure miss his funny little sayings and actions (like the time he tried to open that locked door in China - HAHA).

Mr. President, please fix the effing economy. I'd like my dad to have a job. Thank you.

En el gimnasio con Erik Estrada...

Since I've already posted what my French lessons have been like, I figured I'd let you see some videos we watched in my Spanish Phonetics class. Pretty much I'm trying NOT to sound like this guy...

One Semester of Spanish: Love Song

2nd Semester of Spanish: Spanish Love Song

..... I think this guy is pretty talented. And he's making me look for an excuse to tell someone "Yo tengo sangría y un pequeño perro para tí." ("I have sangria and a little dog for you" for all you Gringos)


And on another note, WHY IS IT SO EFFING COLD?! Seriously, it's not supposed to be 18 degrees when I head to campus for class... and I'm in the south. What happened to Hot-lanta (I hate that nickname for ATL) and all that??

Alien Encounter??

CLICK TO MAKE IT BIGGER!! (For the full effect of giant UFO) :)

Ok, don't think I'm crazy, but I swear I saw a UFO today. No joke. I was driving home from my sister's house and I just glanced up into the sky and saw someting that was REALLY flat and long with 3 lights on it. I mean it was HUGE!! I thought it could have been a weird plane (with the air reserve base nearby), but I've never seen a plane that big. If it was something with the ARB, they should so send this thing overseas in Iraq. This would scare the SHEISSE out of our enemies and the war would be game over.

I figured I should draw my own rendition of what I saw. Notice the position in which I'm being beamed up to the "ship". Two words: anal probe. (I know I wasn't actually beamed up by the UFO-that-was-probably-a-plane, but that would have been awesome).
