Ok, this is a little weird, but it's just some...
So today my mom, grandma, aunt, sister, brother, cousin and I walked around the town of Prescott and shopped and stuff. I spent most of the time with my brother and we had a really good time. We looked around stores together, plotted against my sister in the restaurant (when she went the bathroom Jake suggested that we put Tobasco sauce on her hamburger and after some persuading I was like...
“They like mix and fuck eachother and spawn delicious goldfish,”
– John. Explaining Mixup Goldfish to me because I’ve never heard of them before.
Sedona
Today we went to Sedona and there were 20 of us, with once again, 6 people under the age of 10. The whole drive there I was trying to read HP and the Half Blood Prince and my brother and sister were fighting and my parents were yelling at me to look at the scenery and what not. When we got to my aunt and uncle’s condo is was really small and it is beyond me how the fit 10 people in there....
“The Fire Within Me,” From Little...
We were playing Scattergories...
And we had the letter “L” and one of the catergories was “things at a wedding”. My mom, dad, aunt, uncle, sister and I were playing and my sister was the only one of us that put “love.”
So what if I don't like to go outside?
I’m sorry but unless I’m going to the beach, I’m not exactly inclined to go outside. Arizona-people are like obsessed with hiking and whatever and it’s just like meh. Today we did gifts with the other family who lives in Arizona and my cousins from Colorado and when all was said and done there were 22 people in this little house. 6 of which were under the age of 10. And...

"I keep getting texts from the future."
Today started out sort of shitty but it wound up being ok. I finished Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I thought it was so funny. I love Jason Segal. I’ve always had a crush on him but now I like him even more because he wrote this smart, funny film. After that I couldn’t sleep last night because my sister was snoring like a grizzly bear and the blow up bed I was on felt like a blow...
Grumpy.
I am currently being forced to sleep on a blow up bed in a room with 3 children who like to wake up at the crack of dawn eastern standard time, which is two hours earlier here. One of which is a baby that just got up to say she “Peepee-ed in her diaper,” and then she proceeded to cry. And I was just watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall which was funny and it stopped because I was...
Twilight
So for like the millionth time I’m watching Twilight. And every time the baseball scene is my absolute favorite. I don’t know what it is but it makes me so happy! I like revel in the attractiveness of all the vampires (human eating ones included). I just thought I’d blog about it because it’s become one of my guilty pleasures.
So Far...
Today is a low key day. My grandparents have been gone since this morning to pick up my aunt and uncle and cousin from the airport so we’ve basically had the day to ourselves. It’s ok, I prefer it this way in all honesty. Today my mom and I went to Target and went food shopping and stuff while my dad and brother and sister did Arizona-y things like hiking and whatever.
I needed new...

Off To a Great Start....Not.
So today begun with bringing my pets, Ellie and Fiona to my grandma’s house for her to pet sit. My grandma has this wild and crazy dog named Buddy and he and Ellie are friends because they’re both big dogs but my little (well kinda little) cat was basically helpless against this psycho beast. The minute we brought her inside Buddy was barking at her like crazy and when we let her out...
The Trip Is Still On.
Tomorrow I will be leaving for Arizona. None of my attempts to avoid the trip worked. I’m pretty bummed but I guess I’ve resigned to the fact that there’s nothing I can do. So if I live through the six hour plane ride hopefully I’ll get on the internet at least once daily so I’ll try to blog as regularly as I always do. But no promises that they’ll be fun to...
I was reblogged twice in a row on my...
How cool am I?
Granted it was by my boyfriend and my best friend. So it’s not like I’m actually getting a following….but whatever….let me live in my delusions of blogesphere popularity. :)
Merry Christmas!
The Union Issue Has Been Dealt With!
After days of phone tag I finally got in touch with my union rep and he says that I won’t have to pay those random dues that I got a letter in the mail about! I was gonna go the extra mile and ask why I’m being paid less but I decided that’s an issue I’ll attack in the summer. Seeing as I’m really only back for like 3 weeks right now I’m happy to be making any...
Don't You Hate it When...
Your Facebook account is unavailable due to site maitnence? Well I was just going to give my friend Whitney and congratulatory wall post because she’s made a tumblr! And she had a successful first blog at that! John and I were talking about ti the other day adn we decided that everyone’s first Tumblr blog is like “I don’t really know what this is yet, but I guess...
“I guess playing the piano isn’t one of his powers…”
– Whitney. We were seeing Twilight and comparing Edward with her current love interest but the comparison was stunted when Edward started playing the piano.
People actually read my blog?
Probably not many. But today I got a facebook message from someone who came across my blog and read one of the posts and wanted to respond to it. How cool is that?! That made my day. :)
Funny Customers
So I had some funny customers today. One of them was this lady and she like gave me the wrong change of something and she was an older woman (like in her 30s maybe 40s) and she was like “I feel like I’m like totally stoned right now,” and then I started to laugh and then she like rethought what she said and she was like “Just kidding….”
After her there was...
“I wish I was handicapped,”
– My mom, when we were looking for parking spots in Tanger.
“See I’m not a natural helper. I don’t know how to naturally help.”
– Paula. I love her.
“How Do You Sleep,” Jesse McCartney....
“You’re so linguistically advanced compared to my prehistoric romanian...”
– Christine
“Well I might play Airport Tycoon or Sierra Home Architect on my PC while I mac...”
– John. I don’t even know if this was clever on purpose.
I've Made a Decision
I’ve pretty much had my heart set on rushing a sorority since my senior year. It seemed like something I’d have a lot of fun doing and I’d meet alot of fun people and it’d be totally worth it. But with my less than stellare performance academically this semester, I’ve decided I really need to buckle down and focus on my school work. I can’t afford to fuck up...
Today Was Not a Great Day
I guess I’ll just jump into it. But basically all my problems revolved around work. I was closing and when you close at King Kullen you have to clean all the registers take out the garbages and put away all the overstock (groceries that aren’t where they’re supposed to be). My bad day started when some guy bought rock salt. All the bags of rock salt are defective basically...
The College Humor Staff is Getting a TV Show!!
Who hasn’t enjoyed a video with Jake and Amir every now and then!? Well now they’re getting their own tv show on MTV. I’m really excited about this. I feel like they’ll do it right. Like every show it’s at risk to be MTV-ized but I think they’ll survive. It’s sure to be hilarious like all their CHTV videos and I can’t wait until we know more...
“Where’s n00bkid116?”
– Kevin Spellman, in reference to John lol.
“If I had a Buzz then I wouldn’t have a Woody,”
– John. We were watching Toy Story 2 and I was talking about how my brother has a Buzz and a Woody and then John said “I have a Woody.” So naturally, me being the perv I am I was like “Yea, you do.” And then the conversation continued and I was like “So you don’t...
A Nick Cannon Conversation (Abridged)
Preface: We were talking about the Mariah Carey christmas song, which is a quality jam. Then the conversation naturally drifted towards Nick Cannon
Me: Nick Cannon is hot. He really is. In Drumline. OMG, it like makes me consider eating chocolate.*
Jake: I am goddamn pissed at Nick Cannon not that I think of it. Fuck.
Me: Why?
Jake: WTF does his Nickoldeon ass have that I don't?
Me: Umm, blackness? Money? He doesn't work at a grocery store? Shows on 3 major television networks? I can keep going...Oh yea! Mariah Carey.
Jake: STFU
*I don't like chocolate. And I'm a major grodster.
“Goddamit do I hate Christian Byzantium,”
– Jake. I warned him not to take AP Art History. We’ve all been there.
“Here’s the funny thing. If you think about spoons, they’re the same...”
– John
Better.
Today was a good day of work. I got to drive so I was already in a good mood when I got there. My like two favorite coworkers manager Dave and floor guy Henry were there and we had a lot of fun doing random things. Dave turned off the Christmas music, thank goodness. I like Christmas music as much as the next person but if I associate it with something like work, it gets ruined It’s...
I'm not even home three days...(this is a rant)
….and I already want to punch someone in the face! Whether my parents like it or not, being in college has changed me. I’m accustomed to a certain amount of freedom and independence and they’re not making the transition back to the likeness of house arrest that is this place easy! They barge in my room without knocking and they come in here when I’m not home! If you...
My First Day, McDonald's, Youtube, Waitress
Like I said, I had my first day back at work yesterday. It was allergic reaction free! I was really excited to be back. For like two seconds. Then I went back to being a jaded cashier. I remembered the 9 digit PLU for a 24 pack of bottled water though! I feel like that’s the King Kullen equivalent of me remembering the recipe for a snack wrap from back in the day at McDonald’s (if...
Creepers
Me: Are you video chatting with your boyfriend?
Christine: Yea, well actually he's just watching my face because I'm watching Kung Foo Panda.
Me: You guys are so creepy.
“I’ve realized something…South Pacific lyrics are applicable in all...”
– Me, talking to Whitney.
I'm Home!
For a whole month! Weird. Somehow getting settled is a whole lot more difficult this time around than it was for Thanksgiving. Maybe it’s because of the fact that I’m going to be here so long or the fact that when I go back to school things will be different too, I don’t know. I know I haven’t blogged in a while. Not that anyone reads this. But I got swept up in...
