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... :(

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.

Work voices are the best. Can you think of a more offensive facade than to pretend to be nicer than we are? I know you're saying bad things about people when your voice gets higher and you're asking if they'd like sugar and cream in their coffee. Don't fight it.
