Things I learned in Houston, Texas
Lubbock is the EASIEST city to drive around in... RED and PURPLE street signs are alarming, chute-and-ladder-mega-stack-42 lane-highway-systems give me panic attacks, and Lazer's road has pot-holes the size of a small bath tub. No thankyou.
Houston is A COP-FEST! Take a cab, and keep opinions to yourself.
You know you're in the ghetto when all of the tiny corner burger joints have been turned into check-cashing spots. What IS a money order, anyways???
Pub crawls, and mind-erasers at 3pm are not a swell idea.
Just like San Antonio, it is perfectly acceptable for people to wear house shoes and/or socks to public places of EATING. Bare-foot kids on crack.
Sittin on an airplane.....
So far THREE Gingers have walked past me, boarding my plane... This might be the last time you hear from me....
Bad weather can really screw up some travel plans, and make you rrrrrreally cranky.
WHYYYY don't they have Shamu planes anymore!?!
It really fired me up when I was told to "fly safe"... Don't tell ME to fly safe!!! No shit, fly safe... I'm not the one flying! I'm doin MY job.
I could spend some serious dollars in SkyMall Magazine.

I just can't take it anymore. I have to say something. I CANT STAND IT when people don't don't know the difference between your and you're. It drives me batshit crazy. I know it sounds so menial and angry... But I see this gramatical error atleast a handfull of times EVERY DAY from someone. Whether it be in a text, or on facebook, I can't help but wonder, "Do these people not know this is wrong? Did they skip the second grade? Are you saving time and effort by leavin off the "e" and an apostrophe? Your phone will most likely add the apostrophe for you if you just get that "e" in there." it kills me to NOT comment and correct you. Learn this, please.

Apparently I think I am a hair stylist now.... I don't know WHAT ON EARTH I was thinking last night, but I woke up to cousin IT on the floor! wow! Luckily, I was just going for some "layers", so it doesn't even really look that different. One advantage of having enough hair for 5 people!
Yeah, I have granite counter tops :)
Will you play dress-up with me?
I'm going to Houston this weekend and I am super excited! I am gonna get to see a lot of my friends from Tech, as well as some other friends, yay :) We are doing this Pub Crawl on Saturday, and there is kind of a team thing going on. I don't care about the actual "team" competition, but the word "team" gets me excited for a very different reason!
THIS, my friends, is an excuse for me make uniforms/costumes/outrageous get-ups for my teammates. It's my time to shine! FREAK OUT! arts 'n' crafts? you betcha! I have been known to make some of the most amazing togas ever seen at Texas Tech University. Nerd Party... Easy! 80's.... the best! Floats.my.boat! Now that we are no longer in college, and there aren't dress-up parties every weekend, the only time I get a chance to go crazy is at concerts. So you would understand my excitement when I realized I had the opportunity to make T-shirts for THIRTEEN team members! My mind went crazy, and all I thought about all day was what type of bad ass T-shirts I could make. I finally decided on a Camo-themed team with the oh-so-clever slogan, "Stop the War in My Rack". Love it. (Raising Money for Breast Cancer)
But, as I sit here at the day's end, gettin' on my level, I realize that this would be a daring task. 13 T-shirts is a lot, I only have one day, and most of the boys would probably laugh at me and never wear the shirt. I've been down that road before, and it doesn't feel good. SO, I will make buttons, or bandanas, or something low key :(
MONSTER TRUCK RALLY in Lubbock the SAME weekend I will be there!?! Don't mind if I do :) I still have a grave digger T-shirt somewhere.... Don't Hate!

Be My Guest
Call me paranoid, but I'm always scared people are gonna steal from me!!! You might think I'm being ridiculous, but I'm from Lubbock, "The land of people wanting to steal your shit"! Well, I have a lot of cool shit.... And I don't want anyone to take it. Especially now that I am a big girl, with nice furniture, fancy dishes, and ultra modern electronics. Not that I have a legit job or anything... Graduating college got me one thing; some cool shit... And I don't want anyone to take it!
I've had some serious scares with break-ins, while I was away, and even once when I was sleeping! Break-ins were big in LBK, because of all the college kids that would go home for holidays. Apparently there was a whole ring of F-Faces who would stake out homes, and watch for the cars to fill with luggage and leave for a few weeks. They would mark houses in the alleys by spray-painting dots on the fence. Nuts.
I've also had my car broken into MANY times, which was the worst of all. I could cry right now just typing about it! Both times, the freak took my backpack, which contained my life, at the time. Books that cost hundreds of dollars, ridiculously expensive drawing supplies, notes that I needed to survive, a flash drive that had all of my work from yeeeeears of projects and all-nighters (and was my ONLY copy).... so soooo sad.
This whole rant started when the subject of "creepy house guests" was brought up. Whether you have parties, or an oddly promiscuous, ghetto-lovin' roomie, you will occasionally get a "guest" who might wanna steal something. Like I said before, I am not one to notice when things are missing, until I need them. I once had 20 Super Nintendo games stolen during a party... What a jerk-store that "guest" was! I've had sneakers, clothes, books, electronics, bikes, DVDs, all stolen. It kills me.
I never want hotel maids to come into my room. DO NOT DISTURB! I can handle un-made sheets, and 3 bags worth of MY COOL SHIT sprawled all over the room. You do not need to fold my toilet paper into a triangle at the end, and your daughter does not need my favorite black sparkle dress, or my bag full of jewelry! I am a chronic over-packer and avid vacation shopper, therefore; I wouldn't know stuff was missing until I didn't have to pay the "over 50 pounds" fine. Ha! The last time I had to toss a bag together on the run was in Vegas. I had to pack THREE sets of bags... (TWO missing friends)...check out, & make it to the airport in like... 30 minutes ago! It was bananas!
Now, where was I? Ahhh, yes... Theft paranoia! Please, you scum-bag, thievin', piece of crap losers.... don't steal my shit! I'm begging you.
Note to self
Grocery stores put the asparagus up at night... Why? I don't know, but remember this. Next time, don't spend 20 minutes walking around dumbfounded.... Ask for some asparagus!

Abbreviating is the NEW Black
Ahhhh, the good ole' ABBREVE. I love abbreviating words. It's fun, saves time, and conserves energy and voice. Okay, there isn't really a valid REAS behind it, except for that it's fun and DIFF..... and you know me, if it's weird, I'm all over it! It's my new OBSESH! I like to comment on my friends' baby photos with PRESH, or ADORB. It's so OBVI how fun this is!
Creepy Ginger Stuff
This is a small world we live in. I have a Ginger co-worker, which is pretty rare considering that Gingers only take up about 2% of the population. I typically hate Ginger-females, I don't know if it's like a survival-of-the-fittest kind of thing, but whatever. This particular Ginger, however, is pretty cool. Not only are we Orangu-lated, one day we realized that we have the SAME birthdays, also! Weird, I wonder how many other Gingers were born on our birthday?
A few weeks ago, she asked me where it was that I lived, so I told her that I lived next to the bridge, and she was like, NO WAY!". Turns out, she and her boyfriend were signing a lease at the EXACT SAME place as me! Crazy! I asked her what building/number she was moving into, and she told me 611....... I live in 612. Too.Freakin'.Creepy.
I'll sell you my pickle for a nickel

Here is another masterpiece, written by the one and only, KELLI!
Okkay... So... i realize that one of my bigger pet peives are "socially inept" people. I mean what the hell.. could you run into a more frustrating, annoying person? DOUBTFUL. I Have one person in particular that really comes to mind. And it is the worse... because there is no way to get away from them... A COWORKER. You meet a woman... shes in her 40's and seems pretty cool. You know htat you are going to be stuck with her 40 hours a week so.. you think, ehhh what the hell... ill make an effort to have a good "working relationship" with her. Apparently i was off with what i thought a "working relationship" was... turns out she is unhappy iwth her marrage, has a screw up son, not too many friends, and no social life. Wheres all the talk about things that have gone around in the office? The people we like and dislike? ANYWAY.. thats not where im trying to get at. What im trying to get it is those people who cant have your life... so they just try to live their life vicariously through yours. UGH-- SO ANNOYING. For example... I chop my hair off and happen to run into my coworker AT THE SAME PLACE I GO... and she sees my new do... and she goes... "Oh i think i want to do that to"... I get a tattoo... she calls me the next weekend and gets a tattoo IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE. I like to jam to fratmusic.com in office and listen to country music (which im not relaly into, but its good for office music), She comes up to me and is like... oh what website is that and starts listening to the same station really loud (probably because she is deaf), so i cant enjoy my music because it interferes with hers. okay. FIND YOUR OWN STYLE. Dont try and live vicariously through someone else because it is OBVIOUSLY never going to be your life.
PS... the whole reason i got on this tagent is because i finally got really PISSED OFF from the constant annoyance of having her text me once or twice a week that says "test, you get this" ... because when people dont text her back, she thinks her phone is broken. UGH. THE SOCIALLY INEPT PEOPLE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.

The Lingerer
To the creepy dude who hangs around much longer than is socially acceptable... Yeah, we had some people over, and you somehow got wind of that. You had so much fun, and spent the whole night admiring our entertainment expertise. You learned how to play dominoes, and couldn't stop thinking how awesome we are. You wish you were our friend, but you're not. When people leave and we shut it down... this is your cue to exit as well. Don't linger around the living room like you're waiting on someone. Don't creep out our girls with your wild eyes, and perverse comments. Take a hint. Leave!!!

Cletus
Cletus is a pretty sweet name. I had a hog named Cletus once, a Duroc. (That's a Ginger pig for those of you who were not dedicated member of the FFA) Anyways, today I discovered that the annoying NFL robot was named Cletus, voted on by America! Awesome! Too bad Cletus is old, and not cool anymore. Get a new graphic NFL!

Former Student
This is a story by my dear friend, Kelli.
so... this morning... i was driving to work, and i go get my morning diet coke @ whataburger (i usually walk to the chevron... but it was raining)
and so.. i get my drink and i'm pulling out of whataburger... NOT ONLY does this asshole in a truck not let me in... but then he blocks ME in, so i cant get out of the whataburger driveway.
i finally get to pull in, and when i pull in behind him i see a decal that reads.. "a&m, former student"
i start thinking... what the fuck is that supposed to mean??? did you graduate?, did you not graduate?, did you drop out?, why did you drop out?, were you too lame for that piece of shit school? or were you just a moron? did you go to texas tech instead because it was obviously the better choice? i mean... i just dont understand what "former student" was supposed to mean

sticky pillow purple face
Trust me, you NEVER want to fall asleep with a cough-drop in your mouth. I woke up this morning stuck to my pillow. My pillow was stuck to my hair, and my hair was stuck to my sheets. My sheets were stuck to the mattress, and that got stuck to the floor. I couldn't even go to work. My face is purple, and I smell like a grandma. NEVER fall asleep with a cough-drop in your mouth!
Slap Chop
Cooking is my 3rd favorite thing to do. That's a pretty big deal! I could cook all day long, if I had the money to buy ingredients. Though I've been practicing for years, I still don't have my kitchen as cooking-ready as it could be. You know how when you're at your parents' house, you can walk in and find something to make, fast and easy? Everything you need is there, no problem. I love that, and miss it :( It takes yeeeeears to collect all of the dishes, utensils, spices, and experience needed to run a legit kitchen. I hope that one day I can obtain all of those "things".
For right now, I'm doing ok though. I've been trying to cook straight healthy for a while, (due to a little bridesmaid's dress dilemma). Veggies are my main game, and I am always looking for new, exciting ways to prepare them. Well, I'm here to tell you people, the Slap Chop is the way to go. Sometimes I will figure out what I'm going to cook, by revolving it around what I can SLAP up. It's fast, and it's FUN!
Listen to me! Part I
I am OBSESSED with music! I wish I could have it playing constantly in my head. Hmmm... that sounds stupid. I like to jam in my car FULL blast whenever possible.... you know, I had a sub back when that was cool. I have a playlist for every possible activity, yes... even that! So, I thought I would share some track referrals. Have a listen.

Lesson Learned
I've been talking about getting a tattoo on the inside of my lip for a LONG time! I am aware that it's a painful location, and that it might not last forever, but that's what's so cool about it! Sure, you think it's retarded, but this is me not giving a shit, and doing whatever I want. So, I finally went to get it done this weekend, and had it set in my mind that I was going to get a tattoo that represented Texas Tech. My initial request was a revolver, but the guy said it was too detailed for such a small spot, so I ended up going with the Double T. It hurt for like a minute, and felt completely normal immediately afterward. Awesome! I was so excited about it the remainder of the weekend! BUT.... I woke up this morning, and it was GONE!!! Holy crap, what a joke! The guy told me that it might not take, and even if it did, it might stay a year.... but 48 hours!?! I'm pissed! Lesson learned, $60 down the drain, relieved parents.... I think someday I'll give it one more shot.... for sure :)
The Pretty Lights
One of the greatest shows EVER!!! We had a great little group of Lubbockites, and we had a great time! Except the tar-covered floors that ruined my sneakers :(
Juicy
I LOVE to karaoke! I used to hate it because; 1. I suck at singing, and 2. my mom is a karaoke fanatic, so I have generally associated karaoke with no fun. But now that I started rapping, as opposed to singing, I can't get enough! I try to do my faves everytime (Shoop, Ice Ice Baby, Shake that Monkey) but my #1 pick is Juicy by Biggie. Not great for children's parties, but most often a crowd pleaser :)

My road trips almost always involve breaking laws, and a "hurry-up-n-get-there" mentality. Risky. No one really embarks down the highway with any intentions of getting pulled over, but it has been known to happen. Sometimes it's good to have a little help avoiding that drama. Sure, you can follow someone (preferably a red guy), get a radar detector, or follow the speed limit (psschhhh). But the help I love the most, is the friendly "HEY, COP AHEAD" light-flash from a fellow traveler. I try not to confuse that with the people that are telling me to turn my brights off, but it's always safe to slow down either way.
How nice is that? Who started this gesture? Thankyou, kind sir! What is the opposite of road rage? Road love? If so, it's such an awesome thing! Pay it forward people! After all, the Texas motto for driving is, "DRIVE FRIENDLY"!!!
-dedicated to the person who gave me this idea :)
Is she for real?
This video is pretty entertaining... this is an old woman who is GEEKING OUT while her flight is landing. Luckily, someone recorded this. The video is great, but leaves me questioning a few things.
1. Is that a woman?
2. Is she for real?
3. What type of drugs is she on?
4. Why did the guy next to her try to play it so cool?
5. I'm pretty sure she is a Red Raider, because she continues to get her guns up.
Blue Moon
This New Year was AMAZING!!! It was the first good New Year's experience that I've had in quite a few years, and also the first New Year's in quite a while that I haven't had a boyfriend. (Do you see the correlation here? F boyfriends!) That's not the only thing that made this year's celebration a little bit different, it was also a BLUE MOON! Word on the street was that the Blue Moon was gonna make people extra crazy, so I was pretty excited. The party was great, the people were fun, and I didn't really notice anything, or anyone gettin too "crazy" on NYE. Sooooooo, I guess I like Blue Moons, looking forward to the next one. See you in 28 years!
Can't you see I'm busy!?!
Gentlemen,
Please do not tap a lady on the shoulder while she is running on the treadmill.
1. I am clumsy as hell anyways, so being startled isn't gonna help.
2. Can't you see that I am busy!?!
3. I am here to sweat profusely, so hott, right?
4. If you are at the gym trying to pick up chicks, check your priorities.
5. I KNOW my kicks are fly, thankyou.
6. No, I don't want to join you for a protein shake.
7. Go ahead, change the channel, I'm not watching it.
8. Yes, I've been here before, and I know you have too, nice try :)
9. Sorry if I'm subconsciously reciting explicit rap lyrics, my bad.
10. I DEF don't want your advice on my work-out!
Do what you came here to do!

Taco NOTco
On a recent trip to San Antonio, Texas, a friend suggested that we eat at a well-known Taco joint. After hearing the legend of Taco Taco, I was in! We arrived to find a line OUT THE DOOR! I get excited, and even call my Dad, a Food Network fanatic, to let him in on the taco celebration that's about to occur.
We get in, and get a seat.... this place is pretty small, and doesn't really look too awesome on the inside... so I start to get nervous. They bring us our drinks, and one of our cups had FRESH lipstick on it! Nasty, but overlooked in excitement. CRAP! My DP is flat, but I can handle that, lets' get some food! I went with Migas, always a pleaser, and our table ordered a pretty good variety of menu choices. At this point in time I begin to note the poor punctuality of the wait staff, and the excitement is gone. Starting to get cranky, I look around with a much more detailed inspector-eye. Greasy Mexicans, nasty plates, dirty floors, cafeteria cheese, questionable sanitation, it's a Health Code violation NATION!
Finally, Juanita brings us our nationally-recognized, multiply mentioned tacos. Nothing looked too special upon arrival, and I can ASSURE you that mine did not taste special! Kel's queso was ferosh, and the breakfast tacos were not really anything to jump around about. The boys liked theirs, of course, but "the legend" had me expecting to be blown away.... Flabbergasted! Not in the least!
I just don't understand how anyone could think that place was so incredible. There are taco-shacks in Austin that would WORK Taco Taco. Food Network, and whoever else, you are retarded. That place doesn't even deserve ONE Taco. Taco NOTco.
Under-Pacid
There is an under-pass in San Antonio that is unbelievable. This Ghostland-themed passageway just doesn't seem to make sense to me. Isn't this distracting to drivers? It distracted me from 100 yards away, and kept me in a trance as I tried to navigate through it ON FOOT! Is this a joke? Downtown, where all the drunks are???
Wait, maybe it's a trap. These light DO look an awful lot like police lights, and honestly had me thinking I was getting arrested (much later in the night). Maybe the cops have created this psychedelic-trance-trap in order to catch drunk drivers? Red and Blue in the rear view = hurry, turn left, get the hell out of here. The cops must wait near by, and look for suspicious activity. No?
Maybe it's just an artsy expression with lights in an under-pass. Well that's ridiculous! It amazes me that the city would allow something like this, but hey, it is San Antonio.
Team Spirit
Soooo, there has been TONS of drama about Texas Tech firing Mike Leach. Of course, I am upset about it, but I am beginning to think that some fans are taking it a little too far.
Leach is an offensive genius. He led the Red Raiders through TEN CONSECUTIVE winning seasons, FIVE Bowl wins, ended up 53-11 home at the Jones, recruited balls, and coached the biggest comeback in NCAA Division1 bowl game history!!! Many people have gone as far as to say that he is one of the best College football coaches in the nation. Though said to be a quacky drunk, he has proven that his atypical coaching tactics seem to work. His whole pirate/angry thing is different, and fun, but that's all Mike Leach.... NOT Texas Tech.
I don't wanna paint the wrong picture here, I was PISSED at first too. I made death threats on Adam James, left Gerald Myers an ass-roasting voicemail, and I even went as far as to say I was embarrassed of my Alma Mater. I also think I drunkenly yelled that I wasn't going to watch the Alamo Bowl because I was so fired up about it, but I didn't mean it.
I went to San Antonio, I saw the T-shirts, the posters, heard the Leach-chants, and it honestly saddened me a little bit. People began to forget that there are about 150 other people who ALSO bust their asses, dedicate hours of time, and work every day in an attempt to push Texas Tech towards kicking ass. The players, most importantly, need support more than ever. Their worlds are in chaos, and they are well aware that all anyone cares about is Leach leaving, and the future of the program. Everyone made damn sure of that. How about a million posters about leach in the stands, but not one about any sort of TEAM SPIRIT! ESPN stalked Adam James on the sidelines like nobody's business, and it was all you heard about the whole weekend. Bottom line is... fans everywhere supported a man, NOT a football team. Sad.
What our administration did was crappy, but it's done. It is what it is. We are going to have a new coach, but that doesn't change anything else about Texas Tech Football. Sure, depending on the dude, we might lose some recruiting umph, and have a rough time getting started back up..... but that's all the more reason that they need their FANS!!! That's what you are... a F'ing Texas Tech Football Fan! Act like it!
mexican-whore-pigeon
You would believe my jaw-dropping astonishment as I walked outside to find my car COVERED in bird shit. I have touched this hot stove before, and I should have thought before I parked under a ginormous tree. BUT!!! This was not your every day, bread-crumb-eating, here n' there, white-ish, dried and terd-like bird shit. This was oily-tar, drip n' smeared, party butt, greenish-black, mexican-whore-pigeon bird shit. I can't get this taken care of in a drive thru. When I pay someone to clean this, they are not really going to be too giggity about scrubbing it off. WTF!?!
I would have loved to use the term "Shit Storm" in this one, but that was coined by my refreshingly wonderful former roomie :)
Welcome to the Future! Part II
I got the new version of Monopoly for Christmas, and was saddened to see that they changed the game pieces! No more top hat, iron, or thimble.... it's the future now! There's a freakin' handbag with a well dressed shnorki-doodle in it! What is this world coming to!?! Don't get it twisted, I LOVE Segways, spaceships and flat-screens, but it's still weird. Just another one of those things that makes you think, "wow, this is the future!!!"

Guitar Hero
I think Guitar Hero is cool and all, but shouldn't be taken to the extreme. I went through a GH phase, and it was pretty serious. I played for hours, all day and night, until my brain hurt. (Consequently, I was a freakin' Bad Ass) I tried all of the songs, but had a few choice picks that I rocked on repeat in the quest for perfection. After a couple weeks, Guitar Hero got old, and I honestly don't think I've picked up a guitar since. Bringing me to my point, I was sitting in traffic today, and one of my championship tracks came on! Killer Queen, by Queen. I have always LOVED that song! But nowwwwwww, I can NEVER enjoy it because of Guitar Hero!!! How can I sing the lyrics while my brain is chanting, "GreenGreenBlue RedRed Blue YellowGreen, Blue RedRed"???? SO FRUSTRATING! It's crazy how after probably... 3 years... that I still have that in my head. Especially, because it's like I memorized the way that the colors correlate with the notes of the song, when I have NO musical knowledge. Hmmmmmm, weird.
