Wait.. Am I Blogging?

Yep... I broke down and am making myself sit infront of the computer for another hour after 8 hours of it at work to blog.. Because lets be honest all of you who read this have been franticly checking Facebook looking for a new blog from me! Plus, I got a wonderful card today from my little cousin Miranda who is a dedicated follower so I decided to give in and write another one.. Way to be a dedicated fan MJ :-) Well since Obama was 5 feet away from my apt ( that I didn’t even realize) nothing much has happened.. Check off a few things on the granola list though.. Like kayaking! Let's just say I am a natural..since I didn’t flip any while Alex flipped 3 times including two of those times sinking his kayak and having to go drain it on the banks. yep .. he is like dreamy granola :) ha Honestly though.. I am a natural granola New Hamsteran I just know it.. speaking of granola I found out that the term is a known word up here form Alex’s sister granola is called a "crunchy hippie" I don’t know how I feel about it..but I will take it.. so I guess whenever I want to be granola I have to ask myself.. is this what a crunchy hippie would do? Speaking of hippie I have been called one twice within the past week.. I guess the folks up here don’t get my style.. I call it granola.. they call it hipster and hippie.. sorry that my wallet my BFF got me is trendy and has cool designs on it and sorry that I am the only person up here who owns chacos and the land of Hamsters is just a few years behind on trending granola sandals.. It’s okay though I will take hippie over redneck.. guess I am moving a step up on the social status ladder up here...

Well not only have I been kayaking over the past weekend I have also become a permanent movie theater rat.. I have done the math and I have been to the movies every single weekend I have been here at least once and this past weekend I went twice. If you do the numbers that is like $60 at the movies just for tickets.. not to mention the first time I went after a few cocktails and spent over $13 on a popcorn and liter Dasani water.. yeah I just admitted to that.. I found myself asking the same question that the nice ginger ticket booth guy asked me this weekend.. are you a rewards member of our theater? I of course said no but to myself was thinking No I’m not but I sure as hell should be.. as I look around at the donations to St. Jude stars covering the windows of the ticket booth and spotting at least 2 of my donations with ridiculous names I made up on the spot.. I am pretty sure I should just get a side job there so I can get a discount because apparently my new thing is the movies.. Since I am sure you are wondering what all I have seen and I am quite the movie critic now I will tell you my thoughts on all the movies I have seen over the past few weeks..

Rock of Ages- Life changing.. Tom Cruise in leather pants even if he is a crazy Scientologist divorcing Joey from Dawson's Creek 

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World- Horrendous. Do not go see. You will find yourself wishing a small meteorite will hit the theater you are in.. not harming anyone of course.. just enough damage to ruin the screen and projection.. nothing to specific.

Magic Mike- a mild-raunchy 2 hour strip show full of #absonabs in different costumes and role playing.. when the movie is over you will be disappointed that you are really not at a male strip joint.. including the males that I spotted there who were drugged by their girlfriends to watch half naked men dance.. they secretly enjoyed it.. I could tell

Ted- had its moment of being too much.i mean animated teddy bear doing drugs and dropping the f bomb every minute or so.... but most of the time I found myself laughing at the verge of that line crossing humor where you look around the theater to make sure someone else is laughing so you don’t feel like a horrible person for laughing.. that happened 88% of the time

Next movie: I would enjoy seeing Katy Perry's movie.. no worries I will critique it as well.

As I sit here in my living room I catch myself examining my TV morals.. I have become addicted to.. wait for it ha gotcha.. trashy reality shows mostly on MTV.. I find myself DVRing and watching these shows regularly like the Friend Zone... the concept of humiliating yourself and your friend on national TV fascinates me.. it’s like a train wreck..99.9% of the time these people get rejected. and I secretly love it. I can’t help but watch you get humiliated and rejected or yet hold on to that slight hope of your best friend liking you back actually happening and I get to watch a small glimpse of you guy's first that is just downright awkward. which is also the name of another MTV series I have picked up called Awkward. I find myself laughing out loud and repeating a phrase they say on this show to myself.. it’s like a really really bad updated version of Clarissa Explains it All..yep just showed my age. Boom. Also I have been yet again addicted to Teen Mom again.. only on the original crew.. you know Maci n Bentley, Gary and crazy Amber, Sophia and the Arabian chick and the couple who like are still together..the guy is like somewhat gangster wears horrible sunglasses and the girl just got her braces off?..you know who I am talking about....they gave the kid up for adoption and like every episode it is them talking about Carly.. see I remember the kid they gave always' name but not theirs.. anyways.. addicted again and find myself watching marathons of  it all the time.. and I have recently started watching the Real World again.. yep bringing back the show I use to secretly watch at home without my parents knowing because it wasn’t allowed? well guess what Mom and Dad.. I am watching it now. with or without your approval. bam...I am like the coolest 21-year old ever.

I have also developed new hobbies.. like cutting up old t-shirts to make legit tanks.. like.. these tanks make my pythons look like they are pregnant.. in a bigger toner muscular pregnancy way that is ha.. also I have taken the hobby up of making friends at my gym, Planet Fitness which is supposed to be the judgment free zone? well my basic platform of making friends there is to judge in the judgment free zone.. let’s be honest here.. how can you be judgment free when you are at the gym? you are there because you feel judged by people so you will work out or you look great and want to judge others for trying to look as good as you.. gyms should be called judgment zones.. the end. I have also learned how to fire back at the Yankees who are not nice here.. just dish it back,. a lady yelled at me for not walking on the sidewalk the other day..yelled out her window what are you doing?? I said.. "IM WALKING HEERRRE LADY" yep. sure did.. and what was great is that the lady had prob heard it from multiple people that day..it’s great you have an excuse to be rude up here. Also I have learned to parallel park up here it is necessary.. sure I have been cussed out during the process of it all but I have completed with success.. and the guidance of Mary of course.. my beach bum buddy it is required we go to the beach every Sunday.. and we are bringing Sunday Funday back yo.  I am a fan of the band Timeflies Tuesday now.. YouTube that ish and enjoy.. and lately the most trending hobby I have developed is co-existing with bugs in my apt.. I am positive that there has been a bug in here for a month now that I can't kill.. he is a fighter like his host and is too fast to catch even with my ninja like reflexes. I have gotten a spider bite on my neck and bug bites every night from the ones that live in here.. they follow me to work too not to mention there is a chipmunk named Alvin that lives in the walkway of my apt that followed me back from my hiking trip.. he tries to sneak in often..but I tell him we aren’t on that level yet. 

I will finish this blog with what I did for the Merica's Birthday and with my awesome day I had today. For America's Birthday I did the All- American Gladiator thing and worked out of course.. it was arm buffet day at the gym aka bis and tris day so I wore red white and blue shorts, my Miss America tank (I was Miss Am 2008) and my American flag bandana... that I was told to take off at the gym because it could be connected with gangs.. well I confirmed with them that heck yeah I am in the American Badass gang.. and kept the bandana on.. I talked about watching the hotdog eating contest but didn’t get to see it.. my family would be disappointed..took a nap and watched fireworks on TV which honestly were horrible and just looked like clouds of smoke.. I enjoyed them a lot better when I was younger and couldn’t tell that those broadcasts are miserable to listen to and watch..no offense America.. since my newest friend Ashley failed to take me to see fireworks on the ocean like she had promised.. these New Englanders sure do keep their word. not.. I did however luck out and saw a few fireworks that they shot off from the football stadium outside my house.. I finished the night off with an American night cap and called it a night.. 


today however was just a blah day.. had to be maid Kristin at the office as I am continued to be cursed by hole punch paper circles.. you know the trash you get when you punch holes in a proposal or comp paper? yeah it never fails.. fun fact this property at UNH has been here for about 5 years now and the trash for the hole punches have never been cleaned until today.. don’t you worry.. I cleaned them out as they dropped the floor all over the office and proceeding to make piles high of white dots that looked like a mix of booger sugar piles with a hint of snowflakes to them..no worries I didn’t sniff it..I was then yet again reminded how American our society is as I vacuumed the office and Matt ate a sandwich.. us women always will be the housekeepers.. love it. not. 

However, I can’t complain I have a great opportunity being up here.. I am making friends learning about my future and career and embracing ever chance I get to do something different. I have loving friends and an unbelievable family and I am alive and healthy...can’t complain. Now it is time for me to attempt to cook dinner..Shake and Bake you guys.
