Cya in 2009!

As I get ready for a swanky New Years Eve party (think beer, guys in sweatpants, and making out long after midnight), I just want to say bye to 2008 and hello to 2009.

I hope everyone makes rational choices: don't get in trouble or get hurt! My next post will happen next year!

Workout Move of the Week: Ab Twist

Since I know we all will be resolving to get healthier, I thought I'd include this really helpful ab exercise. It's pretty intense, but you can feel it working as you do it. 

1. Grab a 5-10 pound something. It can be a medicine ball, it can be a soup can, it can be your cat, etc. Take a seat on the ground.

2. Get in a position to do a sit-up while lying on the ground. Grab the weight and set it down next to your hip while keeping your feet on the ground. You should be in a sit-up and rotate back and forth. Your back might crack and it will kinda stretch your sides, but it will help you get a great Spring Break body.

3. Remember to eat healthy. Exercise is great, but even if you have super sexy abs, if they are covered by a cushy little layer of fat, they will be invisible. 

I'd recommend doing forty of these every other day, then trying to increase the amount. 

Remember: Don't go too fast. Stay in control and the exercise should hurt. Bad. But as they say, no pain no gain.

Here's some motivation:

Getting the New Years Kiss

So most of us, including me, have been left sitting kissless on New Years Eve. It's not the worst thing in the world (Remember, love is not equal to happiness), but its a fun thing to grab a stranger and give a friendly New Years kiss to.

1. Who are you celebrating with? Make sure there are plenty of singles with you. Couples will probably kiss each other, duh! But don't be with a huge crowd, because it's hard to flirt, an people will probably act not happy if you randomly grab them and kiss them, especially if you're a guy and you try to kiss a girl.

2. Look amazing. Wear makeup and make your hair nice if you're a girl. If you're a guy, wear something respectable. I don't think guys realize how sexy a button up shirt is. And smile. This is the ultimate test of making a good first impression.

3. Randomly grabbing a stranger at 11:59 is not a great idea. Figure out who you want to kiss by 11:30 but always have a backup. Last year I was flirting heavily with a guy, but then with 5 minutes till midnight, his girlfriend came. I ended up kissing my best gay friend, because he couldn't find anyone there either. 

4. Here's my tip: If its a small enough group, watch the ball drop on the TV. Get a drink or something and come back when everyone's sitting down, and sit down next to whoever you're interest is on the couch. That way when the ball drops, its super easy to go in for the kiss.

Twilight

So I just saw twilight the movie.

I've read the first 3 books (I'm working on the 4th). I thought the movie was good overall. I'm not one of those INSANE 14 year olds who love the books more then life. I mean, lets be honest, its not exactly a hard read. But the guys were hot in it.

Of course the guy who played Edward was very very attractive, but honestly, I didn't really think he fit the part very well. I expected someone who looked like Adonis with a cut jaw and super muscular. The two Cullen brothers were also very cute too. I like football-ey looking guys, and the suprised looking one was still pretty cute. Even the Carlisle, the Cullen dad, was super hot. I'd say all of the guys were hot, and I even developed a girl crush on some of the girls.

I heard that the box office results were great, and it broke a record of biggest opening weekend for a female director. Go girls! Honestly though, there are like NO women directors.

So go change you desktop background to Edward Cullen and get ready for the sequel.

Boyfriends, Guy Friends, FWB

A thing I noticed a couple days ago is how complicated a relationship I have with guys.

They always fit into different categories, and its always so different  for each one. I'll talk about each example:

1. Henry- My best gay friend. It's weird with gay guys: They have the mystique of guys, but you don't have to worry about them suddenly liking you and ruining the friendship. I find that I am overly sexual with Henry and pretend to flirt with him because there is NO ROMANTIC possibilities. 

2. Sam- We've known each other for a long long time. We both saw each other be super ugly preteens, and for some magical reason, we've never hooked up or even crushed about the other. We are neighbors, and we can talk about our own crushes. One of my worst fears is that one day either Sam or I will fall in love with the other, and ruin this friendship. It's pretty annoying because everyone always says we should date.

3. Thomas- The puppy dog. We used to be really good friends and joked around a lot. Now he's made it pretty obvious that he likes me. He follows me and stares at me when he talks, even if it's a  big group. I am sad that our friendship is pretty much ruined. I'm trying to set him up with other girls to make it clear that I'm not interested but he doesn't get it. Heres a conversation over text that happened yesterday:

me-" I think you and Angela should date. It would be sooooo cute!"

Thomas- "I'm not sure. I already like someone else"

The problem is he's really shy and doesn't talk to anyone else but me so I feel like I have to hang out with him out of ethics. He's a good friend though because he's super dependable (Lust makes you do that). I called him to pick me up when I was in a bad situation, and he came really quickly.

I'll do more later. I'm a little tired right now.

Crush of the Day

May I present to you, Gianluca Curci!

He's an Italian football star whos really hot (obviously). He's 23 and a goalkeeper.

PS Sorry about the absence I'm busy enjoying my fall break. I'm here with my best friend Colleen in FLA, but don't worry I'm hard at work here at the beach. There are a lot of cute guys around here...

Shop Goodwill!

So like most people in the world, I want to save money. But for fashion and other things, I still want to look good. I know it might catch you off guard, but people with great fashion sense usually shop at goodwill.

So Goodwill gets criticized a lot by my friends. That is, until I drag them with me. The possibilities are endless! I mean, you can find the most awesomely tacky prom dress or a perfect halloween costume.

For actual clothes, I think its pretty hard to find pants that actually fit. You can find a lot of brand names, but a lot of them will be old, and sometimes unflattering. My friend found a pair of diesel jeans in just her size, but when she tried them on she realized they were from the 80s and the waist was around her bellybutton. 

Things that are awesome to buy at goodwill:

• Sunglasses- Yeah! Especially because you don't have to worry about having them fit, because most sunglasses fit everyone. They are really cheap and a great place to pick up huge dramatic sunglasses for spring break.
• Bags- Bags are pretty hit or miss. I found a really nice coach purse with a tiny little hole in it. I just patched it because the hole was in the bottom. So instead of paying 175 for the purse, I only paid 3.99. Tight!
• Swim suits- OK, I know what your thinking-gross. But most stores like target donate their unsold items. Bikini tops don't matter, but I wouldn't try on the bottoms unless it had the sterile strip there still.
• Halloween costumes- It's coming up and its a great place to pick up some scrubs or business suits.
• Shoes- If they fit, thats great! Just make sure they aren't super worn out. Goodwill is a great place to pick up formal shoes because they aren't used a lot.
• Sweatshirts- Just find a really big comfy one and you'll have something to wear on Mondays.

Things that aren't great to buy

• Jeans
• Fitted shirts
• Electronics- They are usually broken or messed up.

The importance of BLUSH

Blusher, bronzer, brightners: whatever you call them, adding color to your face is very important.

What I've noticed though, is that most of my friends completely neglect this important staple. It makes you look prettier. period. And besides, guys subconsiously like it. It makes you look healthy and sexy: why else do you think that when you flirt, you blush? 

Color- So this is tricky. I'm white and I have rosy skin. I used to not use blush because my skin was already pretty pink alltogether. This was a big mistake because using blush made my skin look less pink except on all the right places. 

Don't pick a color thats too light. It won't look natural at all. But don't pick a dark one or one thats too purple. Just experiment a little with cheaper blushes until you find the right color.

Application- Go out and get a big brush. The little baby brushes that come with some blushes just don't cut it. Smile and put some blush on the apples of your cheeks. Tahdah!

Not to be complaining but...

Seriously guys, I need things to write about. This is my call out for ya'll! Seriously just comment on this post or email me things you think I should write about. I mean, I am really good at boys, and fashion, and makeup, and hair, and stuff like that. Seriously. It'll take like 30 seconds to ask for advice or whatever on ANYTHING!

Crush of the Day: Andy Samberg

So in case you watch saturday night live, you might have noticed that Andy Samberg is HILARIOUS. He is pretty much the star of all of the music videos and is just a great actor. But I think the best part about him is that hes really hot. At first, you don't think he is. But then, I get turned on because he is SO funny.

I seriusly want to marry him!

Welcome to October!

Every new month, I try to make a list of things I want to do that month. Here's mine:

1. Spend more time with my GIRL friends. There is something very fun about hanging out with just girls, wearing no makeup, pigging out, and not worrying about what the guy you like thinks.

2. Talk to the new guy who for some reason I haven't had the guts to talk to in forever. Yes, I feel shy around this guy. I'll fill ya'll in later.

3. Not piss off my boss. It's self-explanatory.

4. Post every day! Yay!

Write to me!

So I had this idea that maybe if you wrote to me like a question, I could answer it with awesome advice. The email is arumandcocacola@gmail.com

So seriously email me. I won't give you vague, self-righteous answers.

Halloween

So yet again I need everyone's advice. I'm trying to plan out my halloween outfit. I'm dressing up with 2 other girls. Of course, a Halloween has to be sexy and since there is no school the next day, we can be wild! Haha! Of course if you have other ideas, just tell me on a comment.

A. The girls from Fanta. Like each of us wear a differant color from those commercials.

B. The doublemint twins +1- If you remember those commercials too. Like a green polo and a green miniskit with a white headband.

C. One of us is a policegirl and the other 2 are criminals.

...

So looking at the presidential poll I put up, it seems like McCain and Obama are super close. Obama has 4 votes and McCain has 3 votes. That's interesting, but I feel like this might actually be a good representaion of what the final polls will say. But who knows?

Heres a random Link:

How to get out of a car w/o flashing anyone.

Au Pair-ism

I was talking to my dad about how I love kids and how it would be soooo cool to be a nanny or something like that. He told me that there are these people called au pairs, and how I would probably like it. So you might already know about what they are, but I hadn't so whatever.

I love traveling, but I haven't been able to do a lot of it because it's so expensive! I'm also fascinated by how people from other cultures are so different. I also love kids.

So an au pair goes to a families' house, usually in another country. Then you stay for a short or long time. They pay you and give you food/housing. It sounds like a great gig, because you can see how ACTUAL life is instead of just hitting up the museums and other landmarks.

For the family, it's cool because instead of paying for some regular nanny, you get a foreign person, who can "culture" their children. A lot of people from non-english-speaking places want english-speaking nannies to speak english to their kids. Just imagine: the fact that you can read this blog can make you lotsa money and room and board.

So I'll definitely do that sometime.

Pretty simple but I'm interested

Just answer the question. If you pick other, write a comment. I just want to see what my readers actually think about these candidates. If you can't vote or you aren't from the USA, vote on who you would vote for if you could.

Breakfast at Tiffany's w/ Clara

So if you've actually read my previous posts, I wrote about how a one of my supposed friends who turned on me when she found me making out with her boyfriend. In any normal situation, this would be understandable. But HE didn't tell me he had a girlfriend, I honestly didn't know.

So anyways, we go to this breakfast place for quiches and tea to sort things out. I mean, it really wasn't my fault. I honestly did not know.

She initiated this meeting. I guess she and her boyfriend broke up because of some other stupid reason. So we go out to eat. It was going really well, we started talking small talk and getting more comfortable. Finally, as we are eating, she puts her fork down and was like "So why did you make out with my boyfriend" in a suprising loud tone. IT was pretty awkward

Heres how the conversation went.

Me: "I thought he was cute and he didn't tell me he had a girlfriend."

Clara: "How would you not know about him. I told you about him!"

Me: "No you didn't!"

Clara: "Yes I did! I have like 40 pictures of him and me together on facebook"

Me: "Sorry I don't facebook stalk you! Get over yourself"

Clara: "You're just a slut!"

After that, I left. I'm not a super aggressive person, but I seriously wanted to punch the girl in the face. I threw 5 bucks on the table and walked out. I'm still fuming. I feel like this friendship can not be recovered, which makes me sad. I mean, boys are like playthings, why not just share?

I'm sick :(

So I stayed home today from school because I'm super sick. I must have gotten some kind of flu because I'm super stuffy and gross. I guess its because yesterday night, my rich friend Elise had a pool party because her family is going to close it for the winter. It was really cold, and despite some flirty bearhugs to keep me warm from her hot younger brother (only one year younger- not creepy), I think I got sick.

But the positive is that her hot younger brother Will feels "responsible" and after school he's gonna come over and nurse me back to health. Haha, pretty much hes going to heat up some canned soup for me.

How to be flirty on facebook

So this post is geared toward people who have facebooks, but these same ideas can be expanded into other things like myspace, aim, and other forms of internet connections.

1. Friend request him. (duh!)If you have talked to him before, this is just an obvious step. The only time not to do this is if you haven't met him yet.

WHile it's cool to friend request random guys who you think are cute, DON'T do this with people you might actually meet. This is INCREDIBLY awkward.

2. Don't poke. Yeah, I know, poking is supposed to be flirty. Unless someone pokes you first, don't poke someone. It's kind of annoying and pretty weird. NOT how you want to flirt.

3. Post on his wall. Not something like "hey. whats up?" Thats easily forgettable and you might not get a response back. Ask some kind of question or if you have hung out just say "last night was sooooo fun. I can't believe you skinny dipped in that fountain!" (or whatever).

PS- Go by the 2 post rule. If you post one thing, and then another and he doesn't respond, don't post any more. Unless he doesn't go on facebook a lot. Then make it 3. You don't want to look desperate though.

4. Don't invite him to stupid groups (anything involving numbers or stupid stuff) Unless its taper made for him or whatever. Actually don't invite him to anything. You don't want him to think you're super annoying.

5. Overall don't be easy to get. Give shorter answers over longer answers. On wall posts, don't post for at least 8 hours unless its a pressing issue. If it's instant messeging, count to 10 to respond. Don't use perfect grammar/spelling/punctuation. Just make it informal and light. No deep conversations.

6. Always be the first one to leave. While instant messeging, say I have to go to dinner or even better, say that you have other plans. Make HIM work for you.

The Jonas Brothers

Yes, they are very attractive young men. Yes, they are talented. But I just don't understand their ridiculously strong appeal that has captured the hearts of pretty much all of my girl friends. 

I know I might get some crazy 12-year-0ld superfans give me a hard time about this article, but enough is enough. I need to put out my personal view on them.

First of all, the girls who are in love with them are generally about 8-17 years old. While baby-sitting some 11 year olds, I found out that they all knew every aspect of these guys' lives! I mean really, these guys are 15, 17 (idk about that one) and like 25. They probably aren't going to be as nice as the machine that created them wants you to think. 

I mean, other than him being hot, Joe Jonas, (the middle one in the pictures), just looks like a douche to me. I mean hes rich, famous, and has thousands of preteen girls throwing themselves at him. Do you really think he's a genuine, kind person just because in the annoyingly bright preteen magazines he gushes about true love and being nice? 

I do find them very attractive, but is it worth all the hype. I mean, girls are going CRAZY over them. It's kind of weird to think about the people behind them who are basically making 15-year-olds try to be sexy. 

Crush of the Day: Jeremy Sumpter

So does anyone else remember when they remade Peter Pan with real people in 2003? I was a tween back then and I had a total crush on the kid who played peter pan. But as I got older I guess I just kind of forgot about him; he hasn't exactly done much since.

But the great thing about tweens is soon they turn into teens, and I guess I didn't realize that while aged, so did Jeremy Sumpter. Now he's super hot!

How to do a cute side braid

So here's a new trendy hair-do that I was first pretty heisitant about, but now i think its doable: the braid.

With braids you have to be careful. Don't use coloured hair scrunchies or anything like that. I GUESS you could tie it with ribbon, but I'd recommend buying some really small black or clear ones.

Unless you are wearing an athletic outfit and are going for an athletic look, i think the double braid is a good thing to avoid. But wearing a pretty side braid is actually cute.

Here's apicture of Lauren Conrad, I really do like how she wears her hair. She always has nice hairstyles. 

So you want to part your hair on the side and start a french braid all the way to the other side. If you don't know how to french braid, I'd recommend looking online because I def. can't explain it very well. I think the side braid looks best if you put it up in a lowish ponytail, but you can wear it down if you wear it wavy.

Try it tomorrow! Just make sure to keep it pretty!

So its been a couple days

Sorry, I haven't forgotten about this blog, I'm just a little sick right now.

Why are we so easy on guys?

So a couple of days ago I hung out with an old friend at her house party. I met some of her friend, one's name was Clara and I had met her previously. We got along really well, we would facebook each other a lot.

But this night was differant. There were a couple of really cute guys plus the other girls. It was slightly awkward because I didn't know most of the people, but as the beers started flowing everyone got more comfortable. 

I drank in moderation, but some people got piss-drunk. My friend and all of her friends decided to take a walk. The only person left at her house was this really cute guy. He wasn't drinking excessively because he had acid reflux or something weird with his stomach. 

We pop in a movie and start to watch it. But he was REALLY cute so we start cuddling. Then I said the worst pickup line or whatever, but it totally worked. I was like "If I kissed you right now, your stomach wouldn't freak out right?". We start making out on my friends sofa right there. 

We hear everyone get back. But we were buzzed so we kept on making out. As soon as the friends come into the room I hear Clara yell, "Alicia! What the fuck are you doing!?!". The cute guy, whose name is Roger, pulls away and is like "Shit". Clara comes over pushes me and grabs Roger and takes him upstairs, where I guess she scolded him and then had sex with him. 

Now I get about 2 honesty box messages a day calling me a slut or a whore. Really? I wonder who that could be? Clara must think I'm pretty stupid to not figure that out.

This leads me to think, why are people so easy on guys. Now I'm a "slut", but Roger is still OK. Clara and Roger are still dating, while Clara full-out hates me. I know I initiated the kiss, but how was I supposed to know they were dating. Honestly, I blame the whole thing on Roger, he didn't tell me, but I get all the shit for it.

Post Secret of the day

Sorry its been so long since I've posted. Remember to still vote for your favorite outfit for me to wear!

So I have an honesty box on my facebook too. While I've gotten some really hurtful things, I do really like them. Once someone posted "when you wear too much eye makeup, by lunch it has spread across your face."

THANK YOU! I guess when I flirt and stuff in class I somehow smudge my makeup.

Help me choose an outfit!

So a guy who I went out with for about a week, but now we are friends with benefits, asked me to go to this fancy benefit for his father's company. So I have to wear something perfect and classy but still sexy because there will be other cute guys there too. I have some options.

Here are the dress choices. The benefit thing has to do with nordstroms and so that's the unofficial dress code.

1.2.3.

A.
B.
C.

I also have jewelry. Remember I have brown-blonde hair, blue eyes, and I'm pretty tan. So either vote or comment. In case you didn't notice, I labeled each shoe and dress.

Unsuccessful Encounters

So as I already wrote about, I hung out with this football stud after the game. Exciting right?

Let's start from the beginning. We obviously won, but Ryan (thats his name) was really good. He looked super hot playing football. But as my luck would have it, after the game I go down to the field. And I find Ryan. And his girlfriend. 

I always thought he wasn't really the kind of guy to settle down. But I guess him and Amy have been going out for 8 months. Gross. 

So I walk down the field. I'm wearing a black wife beater pulled up to show my stomach and I have a letter painted on his stomach. I finally see Ryan and I come and give him a hug. I swear it lingered longer than average. Ryan got a lot hotter than I last remember. 

But then as I pull back I see a really tall thin girl wearing a white beater plled up to show her stomach because she has a letter on her stomach too. And she comes and plots a huge kiss on him. Not to be catty but she was kind of not as cute as me. But from what I heard from other people from her school, she's as easy as an easy bake oven.

We ended up watching Talledega Nights in the back of my car. With another girl too. I guess she's amy's BFF. She's one of those kind of ugly girls whos funny and awkward that you like to have around because they are entertaining and they make you look good.

So I'm lying in between ugly funny girl and Ryan. Even though Ryan has Amy, and they were kissing and doing weird couple-y stuff, he definitely had his hand on my back and it started going south. He explored low enough to discover my string thong. I hate panty lines, I consider thongs a necessity.

So despite Ryan's straying hand, I didn't get any hot football booty. Shame really. Oh well, theres always next friday.

Crush of the Day

So you might know already that I have a thing for soccer player. I also have a thing for foreign guys. So here's an amazingly hot mixture of both.

Nikola Pokrivač

He's a 22-year old Croatian soccer player. And he's good! We all know that talent=sexy

Preview

So anyways, I don't really have enough time to write an actual article thing. I want to go to bed, but first I need to shave my legs. 

Seriously girls, I would recommend ALWAYS shaving your legs. Just stick your foot in the sink and shave your legs. It takes like 2 minutes. But you just KNOW that if you don't shave, you're going to be flirting with a guy or doing something with a guy and they WILL notice.

But whatever. In case you read my previous article about last football game, you will be happy to know that I am going to be attending another football game. I don't know exactly what will happen yet, but I'll give you a hint.

We are playing a elite-ish preppy private school. I just happen to know a guy from that very school who will be playing that game. After we cream their team, he's going to stay behind and not go back to school on the bus like public school kids have to do.

We're going to go to Denny's (Hey! It's practically the only place open that late) and then we are going to *drumroll* watch a movie in the back of my car. And just so you know, my car is really long and I can put the chairs down to make a bed like thing. ;P

I'll keep you posted. Mwahaha...

Dear Freshmen

Found this on facebook on the group : Rules for Freshmen. 

freshman ( P ) Pronunciation Key (frshmn)
n. A student in the first-year class of a high school, college, or university.
A beginner; a novice.

Dear Freshman,

1. Sex doesn't make you cool & it won't make the upper-class boys think any higher of you. So don't go around bragging about it, no one cares & then you look like an easy freshman whore.. just leave all the slutty things you did in 8th grade back in middle school.

2. Don't brag about the number of seniors you know. The more you brag, the more we can tell you're a freshman.

3. You are a F-R-E-S-H-M-A-N.. not a "freshie" or "frosh" - shut up, you sound like a queer. Only upperclassmen can call you a freshy.

4. Don't walk around telling upperclassmen you're not all stupid freshman, we don't care, we're still calling you one.

5. Don't think you're smart because you filled up water bottles with vodka/ or coke bottles with Bacardi and snuck it onto your 8th grade field trip. We've all done it.. so don't be proud.

6. Don't post things like "FINALLY FRESH! LOLZZZ" on myspace. If anything, you suck big time.

7. DO NOT think that the upper-class girls are your best friends.. they will just laugh at you.

8. Stop thinking u are the shit cuz nobody even knows you

9. Don't think that you have privacy now. Once you're here.. Your business is everyone's business.

10. Don't brag about how smart you are and how half of your schedule is honors classes. Thats just more work u have to go home and do.

11. Don't try to sit at upperclassmen lunch tables. You will be picked up and thrown onto the floor.

12. don't tell your friends that you're busy after school and tell them u have to go meet your friends in the jr./sr. parking lot, we all know your brother/sisters just taking you home.

13. You'll NEVER be as hot as the '09, '10 & '11 girls. So don't try.

14. To all freshman guys - you can't get with the class of '09, '10 & '11 girls.

15. Don't try to say you're older than you really are. The way you walk, dress & talk just has freshman written all over you.

16. Your name is "the class of '12." HAHAHAHAHA!!.. enough said.

17. Don' t try to pull that shit "Well you were freshmen once..." STOP! We know that we were freshmen, but we aren't anymore so shut the fuck up.

18. The day you mess with our boyfriend/girlfriend, you'll never enjoy high school again. bitch. We will literally break your shit off.

19. To all the freshman guys, we know your balls haven't dropped yet. That's why you still sound like Mickey Mouse. Don't go around bragging how big your dick is or how huge your balls are. We all know you're lying. have you even hit puberty yet?

20. stop acting ghetto we know your not, we're all done with shit that you say you have but have not, keep your mouth shut and be respectful and do not act like your from the hood then maybe you will not get beat the fuck down.

21. Don't be offended by this. You know you totally deserve it and you know you're gonna die in high school if you don't listen to this shit. we all went through it, you're not special.

22. Don't act like you've done more than you have. It's lame, and eventually we're gonna find out about it. and you're not considered cool just cause you drink.

23. Don't brag about getting "wasted". we know you had about 2/3s of a beer before vomiting and calling your parents to come pick you up.

24. Just because you smoked weed once, doesn't mean you're a stoner, nor does it make you "h-core"... and btw your also not cool because YOU PRETTY MUCH DONT GET HIGH THE FIRST TIME. so if you brag about that "one time you smoked weed," you are completely retarded because that ONE TIME didn't do shit for you. :-D

25. Don't say h-core. its lame beyond all reasonable comprehension.

26. stop boasting about getting a ride from an older guy, they probably just felt sorry for you.

27. You're not going to prom, so stop acting like some upperclassman is going to invite you.

30. To all freshman girls: don't post slutty pics of you online, the only people who are gonna look are pervy 40-yr-old men. and put on some clothes that actually fit you, don't steal your kid sisters t-shirts. You've got nothing to flaunt yet, cover it up.

31. To freshmen guys: you are in the lowest possible position on the social ladder. there is nothing you can do about it, so stop hitting on older girls, they are NOT interested. Consider yourself lucky if you get a freshmen girl.

32. It's not a big deal if you feel a girl up. We've all done it, even the chicks.

33. Please do not friend the upperclassmen that you saw once in the hallways at school. If they wanted to friend you, they would've already.

34. Don't wear tight clothes that are impossible to play sports in. You look retarded when you try to kick a soccerball in short-shorts. And don't have your thong hanging out; that style went out in '01, and you look like a child prostitute.

35. Walk the fuck faster, we no longer have 15 minutes between every class, people have plaves to go, people to meet, stop blockin the fucking hallway.

36. For those freshmen who play games in gym with upperclassmen: nobody cares that you got into the "safe zone" or got the flag or whatever. We all just wish it'd be over. Why are freshmen so hyper? i dont think i was that hyper as a freshman.

37. Overuse of swear words and cursing off at random people you don't know doesn't make you cool. Neither do low-cut shirts...

38. Don't give us upperclass dirty looks cause it'll be the look that you will last see on this earth.. (;

39. If you talk back to us, we will run you over with our automobiles. WE HAVE AUTOMOBILES, SUCK IT.

40. Ummm...don't call the fucking police just because you're pissed that you didn't get invited to an upperclassmen only party...its a really shitty thing to do and everyone will hate you even more.
Oh, and If you're going to try to have a 'freshman only' party, get real, the whole school will be there in 10 minutes.

41. PLEASE stop thinking that the more you compliment us the more we'll like you, its just the opposite, stop sucking up!!!

42. Under NO circumstances is it ok to take an upperclassman's seat at a lunch table. seats and tables were established in freshman year, so why dont you go and establish ur own tables!

43. Don't bother dressing up all nice for concerts
a- No one gives a shit how anyone looks at school concerts, you are neither cool or attractive, and
b- No one's looking at you in the first place.

44. Stop taking pictures of you and seven girl friends baking cookies and pretending to be drunk on a Friday night and putting it in an album called "Parties." Eight under developed freshman girls throwing flour at each other does not consitute a "party," let alone a good time at all whatsoever. Attend your first kegger and then come back to me and give me a definition for a party.

45. Don't brag about getting caught out or grounded for drinking/smoking. It doesn't make you look cool when you actually get caught doing it and no one cares about your problems. They probly just think it's funny that u were dumb enough to get caught.

46. Just because you lift weights doesn't mean you're "hard"

47. Don't ever remind the teacher that she forgot to assign homework, esp. when you're in classes with sophomores and juniors, it's stupid and you will get your ass kicked.

48. Don't ever, EVER, make fun of upperclassmen for taking classes like Geometry 1 or Physics 1, we will kill you slowly and painfully...

49. Suck-ups are even worse than people who try to stand up for themselves. Don't even try.

50. If you know that an upperclassman (or anyone for that matter) is skipping class and the teacher asks if anyone has seen them, the answer is not "I saw them earlier today". It is "I don't know". If we find out you're a snitch, you're on your own.

51. Don't dress in a T-shirt and shorts in the winter and claim "you don't get cold," or "you can take it like a man." If you were a "man" you would do something smart and wear a jacket unless its considered "cool" to walk around in a near fetal position in order to avoid getting frostbite.

52. DONT PRETEND YOU KNOW US.
seriously kids today smiling/talking to me? a) your a freshman and b) i have never spoken to/seen you before in my life so shut the fuck up.

53. Freshman must give up there seat on the bus 2 a seinor. We've spent 4 years standing on a bus. You stand up, ya lil fuckers.

54. DON'T TAKE PICTURES OF YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR, YOU LOOK LIKE LITTLE MISS CONCEIDED HERSELF!

55. If your a freshman on a sports team, you set up what needs to set up, and you get the water and give it to the older kids before you take any.

56. If you're a freshmen getting hazed or complaining about your normal freshmen duties on a sports team UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES are you to stand up for yourself in ANY way or the whole team will kick the shit out of you.

Facebook

So of course I made a facebook page for my blog. 

And I'm super excited because there are SIX FANS!

This is pretty cool for me. So YAY!

Football game!

So of course yesterday was Friday, and Friday night at my school= football night. 

Football night isn't about the football. It's about the expierience:

3:15 Get out of school. Go to friends house. I'm gonna change the names in case someone actually knows me or whatever. So my friend Julia is the owner of the house. Her parents are really cool so we definitely start having a couple drinks. (Sadly, not rum and coke. Just bacardi and lemon.) 

So its me, Julia, Julia's boyfriend Conner, and Conner's friend Aaron. Julia and Conner have been dating forEVER so I get to hear ever single gushing thing she has to say about him.

I knew Aaron from before. We dated in like 6th grade, but that doesn't count much. BUt as Julia and Conner start cuddling and being all coupley, its just us 2 left alone. 

6:00 Julia's older sister drives us to the game. She's really cool but she has acid refluc and can't drink, so she drove. Yes, we are THAT responsible. Seriously, teenagers don't drink and drive as much as they want you to think.

So the 2 guys wanted to paint their stomachs and spell out GO (appreviation of our school). Having Aaron put cold paint on my stomach (thank god for all those crunches I did), definitly turned me on. Not in a gross way, just a I want to make out with you way.

8:00 We leave early from the game. Our team is really good and we were winning by a lot, and we got bored. We walk to a nearby mc donalds, sweaty and covered and paint. By this time I was flirting a lot with Aaron. I got an ice cream cone (the best ever!). I decided to share it with Aaron. Lets just say there was a lot of lip/tongue contact made during the ice cream.

9:00 We call Julia's sister and go back to Julia's house. Julia's parents are gone to a late party thing. A lot of alchohol was consumed, to put it lightly. With Julia and Connor basically passed out, Aaron and I started making out. As things started getting horizontal, I got really sleepy. But I guess Aaron was feeling really tired too because he just kind of rolls off me onto the floor and lies there looking at me. He says "lets do this again". And then I fell asleep. 

So this morning kind of sucked. But whatever it was fun. And even after I was sober, I STILL thought Aaron is cute, so we are gonna go out tomorrow. We're gonna go see a movie.

hah

The China gymnastics team age controversy

So in case you read the news etc., you've probably heard a lot about the age controversy about the Chinese women's gymnastics team.

There's He Kexin, who is winning all sorts of medals. How could that girl be 16? I would honestly say she looks 14, like an 8th grader. And in the picture of the three girls, Jiang Yuayuan is the one on the left. She's even missing a (baby?) tooth. 

On the other hand, these girls could just be really young looking. Gymnasts tend to look young anyways, I mean, Shawn Johnson from the USA is very young looking (Below).

You must also consider the fact that these girls are Chinese. Chinese people tend to be smaller, and usually look younger as teenagers. I've noticed in my school that some of the asian freshmen look like 12 year olds.

SO anyways, what do you think?

crush of the day : Justin Spring

Watching the USA men's olympic gymnastics team, one guy def. caught my attention: Justin Spring. He kinda looks like Prince Harry, but super talented. HOT!

Post Secret of the day

how to do a hair poof

So the hair poof is actually a hair style that is super easy to do and looks good on pretty much everyone.

This is really good if you are going to keep your hair wavy or curly because it gives good shape. It's also great for straight hair or you can wear it up with a ribbon or something.

All you need to do is get your hair ready. Pull the front part of your hair, not past the side of your eyebrows. Use a bunch of bobby pins and pin the hair back. The height will come naturally. If you have really thick hair like me, bobby pin small sections. Don't be afraid of too many bobby pins, I usually use like 10.

Now smile and you're on your way!

school

So school started today. Wow. It's pretty weird to be back.

Speaking of backs, I know mine hurts. With all the books and binders I have to lug around, I'm pretty sure walking to class is a great workout. 

It's always hard to figure out what I should wear the first day of school. You want to look cute for the new guys and the old guys who miraculously got hot over the summer. You want to have all the girls jealous of you. You want to look semi-professional for your teachers. And on top of all of that you have to fit the dress code!

So my outfit was hopefully a pretty good mixture of that.

So anyways today I wore

Gold hoop earrings

Somewhat short strapless White dress

Sheer sandy-green wrap thing.

Gold sandals.

It was super cute because this summer, I am super tan so what better way to show it off?

my grandma

my grandma died today

more olympics

In case you didn't watch yesterday, there was probably the most amazing race I've ever seen. 

Let's start from the beginning:

The french relay team were trash talking the Americans. Alain Bernard said  "We'll smash the Americans".

So Phelps starts out the race and gets a pretty big lead, but the two other americans are obviously not half dolphin, so the start to lose that lead. 

Then the anchor, Jason Lezak beasted the final 100 and beats the fastest Frenchmen. And the USA gets the gold!

Unusual

So this website is pretty entertaining for some reason, they are entries to a photoshopping contest that mix two fruits/vegetables together.

Post Secret

I love to read Post Secret every Sunday. Some secrets stand out to me more than others. Maybe I'll make this weekly or something. 

Crocs?

So I recently read an article in Newsweek bashing Crocs©.

While I'm personally not a fan of the "look", I admit to owning a pair and I actually wore them today. But I didn't wear them for comfort. I wore them because they have more grip on the bottom so I wouldn't fall during the diving meet I was working at.

PROs:

They are COMFORTABLE. Really. They are breathable and super lightweight. You can even eat them. 

CONs: At least to me, they look ridiculous. They are often super brightly colored and make people look like tourists. 

While I don't really like how the original crocs look, some of the newer kinds

 are pretty cute. For example :

The flip flops are pretty cute and are still super comfortable

And I think the high heels are pretty cute and they are super comfortable. 

Overall, if comfort is more important to you than style, crocs are for you. And sometimes they look just great. Just use caution. 

DON'T wear them with any kind of formal or semi-formal wear or to work. 

DON'T put those little flower things in them

DON'T wear them every day. 

DO wear them if you are going to get really dirty, like hiking in mud or taking care of pigs or something. Crocs are super easy to clean.

So now for YOUR opinion:

How to Kiss Well...

Considering my more recent experience, I feel the need to elaborate more on the fine technique that is kissing.

1. Always keep your teeth brushed and everything. You don't want a piece of snitzel grossing the other person out. It takes just a little gross thing to turn the other person off. Try bringing mints or something like that, that way if you eat before, you're breath is fine, and you can just offer one to them to keep everything minty fresh.

2. Find a good situation. Dropping a girl off at her doorstep is good. Or in a car before dropping her off. Have a flirty conversation right before hand. Look at his/her lips more and more. When the conversation lulls down make a move.

3. Smile a little bit and move your head forward. Don't close your eyes yet, make sure the other person is moving toward you too. 

Don't freak out! While rejection IS a possibility, the flirty conversation you just had shows that he/she is SOMEWHAT interested. Besides, the person isn't going to just push you away. They'll probably go along with it. 

4. So your lips will touch. Now get into a more comfortable position. If you're a girl, put your hand on his head and the other somewhere else. Guys, put a hand or two on her back. Avoid the stomach area, that makes girls feel fat. 

5. ADVANCED- If you will be using tongue, the hygiene thing is super super important. Put your tongue at the edge of the other persons lips. They will open their mouth. Move your tongue around a little. I was told to write your name with your tongue. Just don't like touch their teeth or their cheek. That would be weird. Also don't open and close your mouth a lot. This might cause suction. While it looks good in the movies, it doesn't really do much good.

6. Withdraw. While it is convenient if you are interrupted, you will most likely need to withdraw eventually. Pull your head back and say "I have to go" or something like that. Don't just withdraw and leave. I once had a guy do that. It was so awkward.

7. Don't be too promiscuous, but kissing is fun, and you don't have to love the guy/gal you're doing it with. If someone you don't like(within reason) makes a move on you, go for it! Just look at them as practice. Sometimes its the "just friends" people who are the best kissers because you are so comfortable with them.

Ah the Olympics

 

As most of you sport-savy people already know, tomorrow (8/08/08) is the start of the olympics. Ironically, it's also the day of my best friends birthday. But don't worry, I WILL be tivo-ing it. 

So who will win? I'm pretty sure the USA. But you never know, other countries like China and Russia always crank out some winners. 

I'm excited for a couple things:

Michael Phelps- There's nothing quite as exciting as seeing someone you root for DOMINATE. And with the new Speedo suits, I can predict a whole lot of records being broken.

And also with soccer (football). While I'm cheering for Spain (obviously; they won the Euro 2008), I think Brazil, Germany, and Italy have formidable teams. 

Get excited everyone!

I know I am!

Procrastination

So for our summer homework. I have to read and annotate Fast Food Nation and then write a 3 page essay about it.

While it's a fairly interesting topic, I'd say this book is one of the hardest assignments I've done. Why? Because it is overly redundant. The whole gist of the book is "Fast Food is bad. The workers are treated poorly. The animals are treated poorly. They brainwash kids. The food will make you sick"

Seriously, thats the whole book. I don't really like reading this book, and something about it makes me want to go to McDonalds ASAP. 

However, I did find it amusing how when debating whether to get rid of the golden arches for McDonalds, one of the advisors told them that they had a "Freudian Impact" and symbolized "Mama McDonald's Breasts"

Lunch with Chuck

So since this site will be closed in 10 minutes I'll type fast.

Today I went to Apple-bees for an informal lunch date with an old friend. He is very cute in a tall awkward way, but he was very boring. I had to talk the entire time, and I DID give him opportunities to talk. I would ask him questions and he would just answer with the blandest answer ever. He's the kind of guy that seemed really afraid to offend me, and while it's probably a good idea not to get into heated debates on the first date, it was annoying. Like stop agreeing with me.

Afterwords, I went to his house to watch Epic Movie. It's a hilarious movie that I've seen a couple times, but watching it with him somehow made it super awkward. Like watching a movie with your parents. 

He asked me if I wanted to go up to his room. I was like really? We didn't click at all. I said I had to get home soon. I guess he really likes me, one of his good guy friends told me that. Ew. It's really awkward. I don't really know what to do about that.

Sorry!

Wow, I haven't posted in a long time. But I have to leave soon for lunch with a friend (A very cute friend who I haven't seen in years). I'll leave you with this gem:

Fernando Torres= hottest man alive.

IN case you didn't watch the Euro 2008 cup, Fernando Torres was a really good player from Spain. I definitely rooted for them from the beginning (not just because of Torres, he's just a perk). And Spain won! 

My roadtrip a couple of days ago was amazing. We sat in the car as we drove through the boonies for 3 hours. I worked on my summer reading because 2 of the people in the car were asleep.

Once we got there, it was amazing because my friend lives in the middle of nowhere so he has a huge huge house and lots of land. They even had horses that we could ride! It was so much fun.

During the thing we watched a movie and I definitly cuddled with the host, I mean it's only polite to. Haha. We were sitting on the same couch and he puts his arm around me, and then starts kissing my n

eck and stuff. Then we "went to go get pizza". Pretty much we ended up calling for delivery and making out in his BMW in the driveway until the delivery came. 

But the host is not the kind of guy who I would ever date. He's super rich and kind of snotty, and while he treats me really well, he's rude to waiters and my mum taught me that that is a warning sign.

But don't fret, on the way back I definitely made out with one of the guys who I actually like. He may not be as rich or whatever, but he's definitely sweet and nice to everyone. Plus his red pick up truck is surprisingly roomy. Haha.
