Run in with a Re-Re.

I'm truly amazed by the ways guys think its okay to hit on a girl. I'm pretty sure they follow the "anything goes" rule.

NEWS FLASH!
it doesn't work that way fella's.

Example A:

Last night I was out and about, before my friend and I left we stopped to say goodbye to the guy she's dating at his work. She was approached by an "okay" looking dude on her way to see him. (I think most girls would have found him really attractive, but I'm not one to date the abercrombie models of this world, more edge please.) So after he spits game at her for a good five to ten minutes, he finally realizes that this guy behind the counter is her man, and feels like an idiot. So what does this disapointed young man do? He turns around and hits on me.

Great.

Worst pick up line I've ever heard, "I would give you my number but I already gave it to your friend." Wow. He continued to ask me about my life. Turns out he went to Baylor. Still not impressed. He was explaining how he hated Christian schools and how he felt bad for me. I was clear when I said that I enjoyed my school. Then he went on and on about how he's "kind of a Christian, but not really all about it." At this point I knew I had a real loser on my hands, actually I knew this when he started blowing cigarette smoke in my face. He continued to insult me as I talked about my career plans. "Marketing doesn't really take book smarts or anything." I really wanted to punch him in the face. He asked me where I bought by shirt, and that he liked how the top of it was see through. "No, its not. Its lace." I said bluntly. He assumed I was a nordies/abercrombie girl and I was thoroughly offended. "You have better luck catching me at hot topic," I snapped back. After that he looked at my funny. Hopefully he would leave soon. Oh no. Not until he showed me text messages from this poor girl who had some sort of thing for him.

"I told her I just wanted to be friends, she's crazy." he said.
My response was something like, "Well, do you makeout with her?"
"Yeah, just last night actually." he replied.
"Well, thats your problem." I infromed him.

We brushed elbows and I got the heeby jeebies and scooted over. He was very put off by that, and got up and walked away, saying "later" as he flicked his cigarette into the street.

My friend laughed. She'd just been flirting with her guy the entire time I wanted to run away from "Steve from Baylor."

Why do guys think this behavior is okay?
Why do I attract them?
Will I ever meet a genuine person?

We will see.
Until then I'll just keep writing about these unfortunate run in's for your entertainment.
I hope "Steve from Baylor" is reading this and gets a clue.

the angels lost, I Know...

Obviously Angel fans know that their team lost in playoffs tonight. Otherwise they aren't fans. Its really unneccesary to post a myspace bulletin about it or update your facebook status. If however, you feel the absolute need to do so, do us all a favor and atleast spell ANGELS correctly. They aren't the ANGLES and their mascot is not a shape.

Band wagon Boston fans spouting off got old a long time ago.
Manny and the Dodgers can go..fly a kite.

I think Tampa Bay has got something special going on. Luck to them.

To the Angels and their fans, it just wasn't our year.
See you next season =]

Psalm 38

A psalm of David. A petition.
1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
2 For your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down upon me.
3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; my bones have no soundness because of my sin.
4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.
5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly.
6 I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning.
7 My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.
8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.
9 All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you.
10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.
11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away.
12 Those who seek my life set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they plot deception.
13 I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear, like a mute, who cannot open his mouth;
14 I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.
15 I wait for you, O LORD; you will answer, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, "Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.
19 Many are those who are my vigorous enemies; those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20 Those who repay my good with evil slander me when I pursue what is good.
21 O LORD, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God.
22 Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.

Oh Nuts.

I was pleased to find a plethera of nuts at WinCo last night.
So I get my little plastic baggy, and just start filling it was all sorts of nuts that I like to put in my oatmeal. Everyone in the nut isle was looking at me weird. I walked back over to my mom and showed her my goody bag of nuts, she frowned. Apparently you cannot fill a bag with assorted nuts, like you can in the candy isle. Each kind of nut has to be in its own bag, because they're all different prices. I now know why everyone was staring at me.

lesson learned.

Rambling, its what I do best.

Has anyone ever seen that old guy on the corner of Arlington and Anna wearing genie pants and shaking a tambourine? I've seen him every day the last three days. What is he doing out there?

If anyone knows, please fill me in.

I fear strep throat awaits me.  I feel awful. I think I hate being sick the most when its hot outside. Its such an awkward feeling to be sneezing and coughing in 100 degree weather.  Alka selzer plus is not doing its job very well.  I would go to the doctor, but I really don't want to pay the $10 co-pay. Yes, I'm that broke.

I've never had a tv in my room until now. On top of that I have TiVO aaaaaaaaaand movies on demand.  That sounds like a recipe for procrastination to me.  The fact that I can watch The Hills, Gossip Girl, and Dancing with the Stars in one sitting blows my mind.  By the way, that Cloris Beechman is a hoot.  I hope I'm that cool when I'm an old woman.

I'm pretty sure my head weighs 80 pounds right now, so I'm going to place it carefully on my pillows now.

I Promise

I'm a good blogger...
I just haven't thought of what I want to say yet.
That's all for now =]
