Dedicated to my Stevie

2005-05-10T03:03:00.000-04:00

So here is a picture of me and my baaaaby. Aww don't we look cute together? I think this was taken at a bar. That means the real question is, why aren't we drunk?!?! Anyway, I would like to dedicate this post to Steve ... the best boyfriend a girl could have, the cutest and most sweetest guy that ever existed, and someone smarter than me for once ;) haha just kidding! I love everything about him -- and he's all mine so you can't have him!! muahaha.

Some of the many things I love....
Our obsession with the Lion King
(and finding things that don't make sense in it)
Our late night/early morning talks that last for hours
Dinner dates
QT
How much you love my hamster
Cuddles
When you call me Tina
Your awesomeness at beer pong...
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!
How you make me smile :)

A Tribute to The Onion

2005-04-29T02:38:00.000-04:00

I would like to take a moment to point out the greatness that is The Onion. Of course, then, one is not surprised to know that the paper originated in Madison. We're some funny bastards up in here.

I am rarely ever disappointed by the Onion's creative genius, but I think this may be one of my favorite articles of all time. The headline reads:

Report: U.S. Foreign Policy Hurting American Students' Chances of Getting Laid Abroad.

But the headline is nothing without the accompanying photograph.

Genius. Just Genius.

Go to www.theonion.com to read the full article

So fitting...

Why should I say it when a great song already says it for me? I'm sure you all can relate, so enjoy.

"Motivation" by Sum 41

What's the difference of never knowing at all?
When every step I take is always too small
Maybe it's just something I can't admit, but lately,
I feel like I don't give a shit

Motivation such an aggravation
Accusations don't know how to take them
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it
Concentration's never hard to break it
Situation never what you want it to be

What's the point of never making mistakes?
Self-indulgence is such a hard habit to break
It's all just a waste of time in the end
I don't care so why should I even pretend

Motivation such an aggravation
Accusations don't know how to take them
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it
Concentration's never hard to break it
Situation never what you want it to be

Important Life Lesson #1

2005-04-26T04:43:00.000-04:00

It is now 3:42am and I just got home from a long night at the library so perhaps I will expand on this anecdote a little more tomorrow. But for now, know this....

The first lesson of the night: Never yank your flash drive out from your computer in a hasty rage. You will lose all your files on it. You will be really upset. And it will make me feel all warm and goo-ey inside. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

The second lesson of the night: What goes around comes around, biotch.

Goodnight, earth.

Who's that girrrl? My ridiculously hot friend of the week, that's who!

2005-04-22T23:45:00.000-04:00

la la la la la la la la la la la......who's that.....g-- OK, so i'd like to officially introduce the world to the hottest girl in Wisconsin, my friend, Kate Rogers. And she's not even FROM Wisconsin! Her hotness owns this town so bad. In fact, she's SO hot, that when she walks into a bar, all the hot guys turn and cry, "ooo, flirt with me! pick me!" Seriously, what other girl you know is from New York (which means she is better than you by default), downs an entire pitcher of beer by herself with a single straw, is MY lesbian lover, and walks in the cold cold snow with pointy shoes? Not only is this girl hot, but she's STYLIN'.

A poem: (I continue to be a poetic genius)

There once was a girl named Kate
Who I'd like to take out on a date
She looks so fine
It blows my mind
And now I can barely concentrate

See what I mean? HOT.

Crazy bitch

Luv Smilin: way to cheat on me! and at OUR bar!

Oh man, I don't really even know where to start, last night was lots of good times had with my favorite people! ... long arguments about peppercini quality, the prostitute on state street and betsy's freakishly *perfect* imitation of her walk, us girls kicking ass playing darts at bullfeather's ;) , my lucky 15's, seanie waiting in line to meet us for an hour at the wrong bar, "i'm just admiring the people behind the counter working their magic on the dough (steve), "except for that guy. that guy's a douche bag (greg)", betsy as the anchor and sail to the man overboard, discussion about the difference between "sha-pop" and "sha-pap"..."pop" is normal, "pap" is the sound of the penis hitting the face, "greg, stop doing the prison dance in public", the girl in the red bootie dress, seeing veronica and crew, betsy joins my cheesestick crew!!, "i'm sorry, i'm gonna have to charge you for the air you're breathing", greg's favorite "treat"...pearl onions in a jar that disturbingly resemble ovum and contain 600 mg of sodium per serving (and greg eats all 14 servings...do the math)!!..........and finally........this story is so funny that it deserves a longer explanation.

SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN CLEAN (this made my night)
- guy on street approaches steve and comments about shiny silver SUV stopped at stop sign blasting "so fresh and so clean clean" on its radio
- steve encourages guy
- guy runs over to SUV and proceeds to booty dance against trunk
- this goes on for many minutes
- SUV driver, frusterated, tries to back up into guy
- so guy moves to side of SUV and continues to booty dance against tail light
- driver gets out, pissed, takes 4 steps forward
- guy gets high fives from everyone on sidewalk
- driver gets back into SUV, defeated
- guy says, "it was just so fresh and so clean clean, i couldn't resist!"

Randomness

OK. So tonight I went to the gym, and upon entering, I was offered free chocolate at the front desk. Now I must ask, what is the purpose of this?? Does this make logical sense to anyone? I mean, it's a gym for god's sake. People go there specifically to avoid encountering unheathly crap like chocolate!! I guess while we're at it we might as well start selling girl scout cookies outside Jenny Craig or diet cokes with Big Macs...oh wait, that already happens. So I guess chocolate at a gym isn't that weird after all, people just don't like to make sense.

Here's a picture Blondie sent me from way back on the weekend of fairy's birthday. Love the black and white. Now we look all mysterious and shit...or not.

A ghost?

anyone have any clue what this guy is doing? ;)

My ridiculously hot friend of the week

2005-04-13T02:40:00.000-04:00

So, my friend Stephie is like the hottest girl who ever walked the face of the planet. All the guys clearly want her, but she is all modest and stuff so she refuses to believe it... which makes them want her even more. Ok, so asides from being the hotness of hotness, she is also the smartest and most fun person ever and I love her!! She loves lip gloss and running. She loves to take straight shots of tequila without chasers. And she loves kicking your ass at Beirut. How cool is this girl? Just give up now, world, you'll never find anyone better than Werner!!!

So hot right now.

Another ode (I like writing these):

There once was a girl named Stephanie
And she was such a total hottie
She got lots of boys
But to her they were all toys
For she was too good for their mediocrity

The world can be a fucked up place ...but take it in stride or else you'll go crazy.

The Ghetto Fishbowl

2005-04-10T12:58:00.000-04:00

Last night was even more fun!! Happy birthday, Eric! -- dude who knew my name but then later discovered we never met before. It was also great to see Sara and Zak and Clancy and Travis and Christine, who randomly turned out to speak Portuguese and gave me lessons at the party! And by the way, Zak is the greatest dancer I have ever seen...the man is a dancing genious. "Come on guys, Suavemente!" Then off to Bullfeathers to invent the ghetto fishbowl with Betsy, a pitcher of beer with 2 straws! Funny memories: "TWO STRAWS???"(bartender), the urinal etiquette lesson, "thats only something you do when you're alone and you're doing tricks", "Hey, I didn't know we hung out with the Road Runner...meep meep!", the cup races, Kate's tutu, defining the perfect breast, "I thought you were the Fonz for a minute", Steve scaring every guy that came within a two foot radius of us, theiving from the bar (yes, i stole another pitcher), "Are those chest piercings?"..."no! it's a necklace!", Greg confessing he always feels like a crowbar down a hallway... SEEING JOEL FISH!, the man on top. Oh man, we missed him. Such good times, and more to come. I love you guys!!

Big Balls Sandwich

2005-04-09T15:55:00.000-04:00

Ohhh last night was so fun! I love Steve :) , Lindsay and Matt are so cute, Kate is just funny stuff, and Greg, well he is a fairy who enjoys eating 5 pound bags of frozen corn kernels while playing poker and video games on a FRIDAY NIGHT...but I digress. It's okay though, because he gave me FLAN...I know you're jealous. Other funny stuff: "'It's pronounced 'Flaaan'", Playing Sonic and Knuckles, Kate's "pregnancy", The Big Balls Sandwich, Space Invaders= really really cool, stealing pitchers from the bar, and Papa John's, which makes every night complete.

Mmmmmmm.......who wants one?!?!

An interesting lil anecdote

2005-04-08T20:39:00.000-04:00

Alcibiades, the gifted but inscrupulous Greek, was noted as an unhappy man. Someone asked Socrates why it was that Alcibiades, who had traveled much and had seen so much of the world, was still an unhappy man. The sage answered, "Because wherever he goes, he always takes himself with him."

A poem dedicated to my favorite class

2005-04-08T16:45:00.000-04:00

So it's my first day on this thing. Apparently blogs are the new cool...or something something. I even have a friend doing a senior thesis on blogs, so I figure I'll make an attempt to become more tech savvy. muhaha. I'll start with writing about an insane class called Journalism 202, which is designed to demolish all inklings of an incoming journalism student's self-esteem and lead them to believe they are worthless human beings incapable of simple communication skills. Sign-up today!

An ode:

There once was a class named J202
that liked to make all of its students blue.
They couldn't get any A's
And it ruined their GPA's
So they quickly gave up and learned kung-fu.

Yeah...random. Just like I promised.
Tchau people.
