This Happens Quite Often

From time to time I have a jumble of random thoughts that I would like to share. In order to do this I could post separate blogs making them into categories. But see then I would be the weird girl that posts like five blogs in the matter of a half of an hour...and it looks like I'm hording all of the good stuff to one time...OR I could just post a blog full of random thoughts, some serious some not so serious and that's what I'm choosing to do today. ( That whole paragraph was two sentences...I hope you like that.)

#1
I do this (......) a lot when I type...apparently I need a dramatic pauses quite often or maybe just maybe I have a problem committing to an end of a sentence. And to be quite honest sometimes a comma just doesn't do the trick.

#2
I think I'm monotone (am I??? No really I need to know). Yesterday I was helping with a sound check at the church and hearing my voice through the speakers, desperately grasping stories in my memories to talk about, I couldn't help but hear this monotone high pitched voice. Oh I hope that's not the case... :(

#3
Work voices
Throughout my life I've taken notice to the fact that people have work voices. I use to laugh at my sister when we would visit her at work. She'd be talking to us all normal and then a customer would show up and her voice would up like 2 keys. I would laugh on the inside...but now I have one. YOU CAN'T HELP IT. Here's another thing I noticed about the infamous work voice is girls voices tend to go higher (it still makes me laugh a ton hearing my coworkers through the drive through...they turn into scary Disney characters voices that sound like they may kidnap your children) while guys voices go lower (which is also way funny.) So apparently to please people girls want to sound more like girls and guys like men.

I'm graduating.
This is a hard fact for me. I'm being tugged in different directions and don't know what to do really. I would elaborate more but for now I won't. Just wanted to get that out there.

I heart pod cast
As an auditory learner it's amazing. I can be doing something while listening to someone and not feel guilty about it. In classes I would like to doodle or add more of the shiny part of gum wrappers to the inner parts of my bible and such other fun little things...but the speaker is right there. They don't know that I'm taking in every word. They think I'm tuning them out and being a jerk by waisting there time. So I love this whole pod cast thing. It's awesome. I can doodle and listen, I can even pause it when people start talking to me. It's wonderful. The only bad part is you can't tell what people are laughing about sometimes when they are laughing out the speakers facial expressions. Another downside....I have dial up....so it would take 10 years to download one awesome sermon. :( So for now I'm enjoying the churches macs. :)

That's about it for now.

I lied
It wasn't my last thought.
I help lead a middle school girls small group and one of our girls (I call her 'mini me but cooler' because of the fact that she is much like me...just a lot cooler) decided to take a several stamp pads and paint a tattoo on my arm. What ever I'm cool with it, I'm all about the art and I understand needing to do something in order to pay attention sometimes. So I let her have at it. It actually looked pretty cool. It was a flower. Then she decided to stamp my entire bottom half of my left leg orange with the occasional purple. I was ok with it I guess...I had to stop her though because she just kept going....I looked like I was turning into an umpa lumpa. So it was fun...except that it was several layers thick so it wouldn't dry. The night goes on and I start smelling something gross every now and then...I think it's my car (it was a smoker car so it smells bad still and will until I clean it) Then I thought maybe it was my small group girls that are now in my car...then I thought maybe it was my breath...I may have a sinus infection or something, that's a different story in itself. I get home my mom agrees with the sinus infection theroy, I've sadly had one before. It's shortly after that I come to the shocking fact that it's the ink from the stamp pads. It was awful. My dad was in bed so I couldn't shower and had to sleep with it on. The next day I needed to help with a funeral at my church...well I had a black dress in mind to wear...problem...my leg is orange and it won't come off. I EVEN TOOK FINGER NAIL POLISH REMOVER TO IT! It wouldn't come off. So I came up with the idea of wearing black tights....that works.....except that after I get to the church I realize that the tights I thought were black were in fact navy blue... :( It was actually pretty funny...and my leg is still orange.

I'm a PBS Kid

I love PBS shows. Love them. Usually just the cartoons too. On my days off one of the things I look forward to is watching Aurthur. No really you don't understand. So today I'm kicked back with my crackers and cream cheese and was watching Curious George. I'm telling you the narrator on that show is SO stinking funny. Today George was learning how to golf and if I still had my quote book somethings he said would have made it in.
"If the point of golf was to make the lowest score than George could just
not ever play then his score would be zero and he would be the greatest
golfer in history."
or...
"Sometimes girls and monkey's think just alike."

Then on Word Girl...which is genius in it's self was awesome today. The bad guy got a kitten for a side kick. It helped him steal things by distracting people with his cuteness.....Oh it was great. I guess you just had to be there.

The Funniest Thing I've Seen In Awhile

Sometimes driving down the road you see the big trucks…like the really big trucks. You know the ones that are up on stilts and have the HUGE mudding wheels. Ok so those themselves look a little ridiculous. Especially with the gas prices like they are. Anyway, I’m in the car with my buddy going through an intersection and I start flipping out. Waiting there at the light is a mini van…on those huge stilts with those HUGE mudding wheels. Oh it was beautiful. The wheels might have made it taller than me and it was this nasty maroon 80’s mini van. I was so happy. WHO DOES THAT!?! I mean I’m not judging it’s just not common to take a family car and make it extremely not family friendly. I mean how would you open the little side slider door. You would have to dangle from the front door handles I would think. I don’t know but really this is going to stick in the memory and I’m pretty happy about that.

56-K

Oh my lanta. I think in the past half of an hour I was able to post one comment and message one person. IN A HALF AN HOUR! Ohhhhhhhh it’s frustrating. Then it just started frezzing or something. And my gmail wasn’t working. I could scream.

Hello lady

I started working at Starbucks (if you can tell me why it is called starbucks without me having had told you before I will be highly impressed) like 5 months ago and since then a habit that I was unaware I had came to my attention...I say hello...all the time. No...ALL THE TIME! My coworkers (or partners if you work there) pointed this out soon after I started. It didn't really sink in until last night when I realized I said hello to the same person 3 times in like one minute. I pretty much say it if you make eye contact with me at all. Just look at me and you'll get a hello. My boss laughs and says that she like it. It's a friendly little quirk. Yeah ok I guess but have any of you ever seen the "hello lady"? She says hello in places where they don't belong. Example "You put the potatos in the pot and HELLO then you turn the oven on HELLO." She lives in Idaho and is a substitute teacher. I even had her once for a sub. She was on Regis and Kelly when it was actually the Regis and Kathy Lee show. She's even written a few cook books. She's way sweet and sort of sounds crazy. I may be turning into the hello lady.

So here I am

If I have been encouraged in one thing this year in interns it's that apparently I'm funny. So here I am. I hope none are disappointed...really I usually only blog when I'm in heavy thought or sad or something...sometimes when something funny happens...like when I smashed a spider on my wall and he disappeard behind my bed. This was like 2 am mind you. How am I supose to sleep with that? The risk of having that thing crawl on my face or me eatting his -2 legged self because of my open mouth tendencises kept me awake long enough to post about him. Luckly he showed himself and I was able to finish him off and sleep in peace.
Well enjoy. :D
