I had this whole post written out but LIVEJOURNAL SUCKS.


It basically just said that I joined Twitter even though I don't KNOW anyone on Twitter. It also said that I've been drinking bucketloads of "Get Regular" tea that it's a miracle I haven't pooped out my intestines. BUT I'm still not regular. Go figure. It also said that I've eaten SO much crap because people insist on visiting me. And taking me to Easter Dinner. WTF IS UP WITH THAT?! Leave me alone!

Vh Vloggers has started. Check it out.

So I can't be bothered to blog anymore.


So I'm vlogging.  Vlogging is way cooler.

Yay, Christmas was lovely.  We started off going to this church where my mother had organized this Christmas Lunch for old people and people who don't have anywhere to go for Christmas.  And I sat around and handed out name tags.  And then we hung around for a while and watched the Queen's Speech, ushered everyone out and then cleaned up.  Meanwhile my mother runs off and invited the Methodist Reverend over for some dinner and gift giving.  Which is strange because none of us are Methodist. 

Anyways, he came over we sat around talking about stuffs.  And then we opened some gifts, ate some food and watched Strictly Come Dancing.  And then he left and my mum drove my grandmother back to her flat, and we opened more gifts.  Then we slept and stuff. 

Now to list gifties because I love lists, haha.


From my sister

• I got a canvas bag which the profits from the bag helps to send some children in Africa opportunities to go to school.  It's lovely.
• The best hair brush in the world.
  

From my parents I got:

• A sewing form/figure.  It's big and blue and I have NO CLUE how I'm going to get it home, but now I can properly alter my clothing and sew some stuff for other people.  Maybe I can actually sell stuff?!  AND BE ON PROJECT RUNWAY?!  YESPLS.
• Loads of monies.  Because I'm poor and I need monies.   But I think I might buy a Wii with some of it because I really really really want one.
• An acupuncture session because I have a really bad back and can't get massages (because of that whole twitching thing).  I'm so excited to gooooo.
• Some cheesy books from the charity shops, haha.
• This really pretty black and white striped skirt that has really cute red buttons down the front and gets longer in the back like a faux train.  SO PRETTY.
• A hand-painted ornament that's apparently extremely expensive (in relation to most ornaments).  It's soooo pretty.
• Some ice trays.  To normal people this sounds lame.  To someone who makes stupid crafts like me I'm like ZOMGYESICETRAYS.  I am so easily pleased.
• Lush gift certificates which I've already used to buy some body cream bar, a massage oil bar, some hair restorer, a facial cream thing and some lip balm.
• A Johnny Depp PotC puzzle.
• A CD with that X-Factor winner who sings Bleeding Love.
• Some books and DVDs about knitting and sewing.
• A bracelet and a hair clip that match.  They've got these jewel things all over them.  Prettyyyyyy.
• A bunch of ties so I can make another apron!!!
• A pink cashmere sweater.
• A HOT WATER BOTTLE ZOMG!

From my grandmother:

• Lots of monies because she's rich and old and that's what rich old grandparents give you.

From other people:

• Nothing, that I know of, haha.  SADIHAVENOFRIENDS.
  

So, yes.  A very successful Christmas.  Hope everyone's Christmas was awesome and that their New Years celebrations were equally awesome.  HAPPY 2008 EVERYONE!

So I figured I'd actually write something because I haven't in a while. I actually don't remember what my last entry was about...*goes to check*

Ahh, yes. The bike incident. Not too much happened in New Mexico since that point. My aunt had a knee surgery so I was going over to her house quite a bit. And that was annoying. And I don't know if I mentioned but I got my alcohol servers certification, and the person who gave the class scared the shit out of me. And then I cleaned the house and flew of to DC.

*insert cheesy airplane clip with my face smiling outside a window here*

So, I get to DC and it's lovely. My sister would go to work, I would take long walks and when she was done with work we would figure out if we wanted to go out or not.

One day I took a walk to Old Town in Alexandria and it was awesome. Although there was a bit of a drizzle, it was just lovely. I found a paper store!!!! YAY!!!! I just gawked at everything. And then my sister called and said to go this place called The Torpedo Factory and it was SO COOL. Basically it was just this big old building that was full of small studio spaces for artists. And visitors were allowed to walk around, look at artists' mini gallery spaces and watch some of them work. The work there was just beautiful. But then I was walking around and this dude started following me. It was so skeevy. I couldn't figure out if he was an arti or not, but he was black and youngish, probably in his late 20s, early 30s. And just generally skeevy. He was standing outside of a studio space when I walked by and then when I walked by again (the place was in a circle, so I had to go around twice), he came back out of this studio space. And then I walked downstairs and he tried to make it seem as if he wasn't following me when he obviously was. Thankfully my sister soon called to pick me up and I rushed out.

And then my sister and I went out for drinks which was AWESOME because I haven't gone out in SO LONG.

And then the day I left we went to a sports bar to waste some time and when my sister was in the bathroom this skeevy old man asked me if I wanted to sit with him and I said "No, I'm fine, thanks" and he gave me this look up an down and said "yes you are" and I nearly dry heaved. GROSS. Thankfully soon after we had to leave so I coul go to the airport. And when I got there (I was flying Virgin to England), there was this HUGE long line. But for Christmas my parents were awesome and upgraded me to Premium Economy so I got to skip the entire line and just stood in a line of about 6 or so. And although that wasn't moving at all, it was better than standing, not moving, behind about 150 people.

So I get through the line and the manager lady is freaking out. What had happened was that a flight the day before had been cancelled due to technical problems. And so this lady is just looking at me and freaking out as she checks me in. And then she climbs around and whispers to me "I've upgraded you to Upper Class, but don't tell anyone." AWE-SHUM! So with a great huge smug smile at the people waiting in line, I rush to get to the plane so that I can anxiously wait to get in my FIRST CLASS seat. OMGOMGOMG.

Unfortunately the plane was late in boarding so I had to wait about an hour and a half more than what I was expecting, but it was well worth it. Upper Class on Virgin is the best thing in the world. BEST THING. If you have the money to buy Upper Class, don't question it. Just spluge and get it because it's just so awesome.

Nothing has happened since I've gotten home. My parents have changed the family so much and it's got a black leather couch and cream leather recliner-thinigies. They're so silly. I miss First Class, though.

I was so sassy as a little girl. SO SASSY!!

I decided for my sister that I was going to make her a tin lunchbox purse. And I finally got the lunchbox today and immediately went to town.

I drilled some holes on the side, weaved in some ribbon to hold a D-Ring. Then a sewed (and used iron on bonding tape) a pocket onto a sticky-sided piece of felt. And then I cut out a bunch of felt peices, one for each side, and stuck those in. Mostly those are for shock-absorbers. So if keys were to be thrown in there, they wouldn't make LOUD NOISES.

And then I quickly (and I mean quickly) sewed on a long piece of ribbon along the D-Rings to make a long strap. It's kind of shabby but I figure if my sister wants a better strap she can buy one herself, haha. AND NOW PICTURES!!!

So I'm a big fan of Chris Brown. There's really no reason why I should like him as much as I do but I really like him. So I was looking for the video on YouTube and found this following video and I LOVED it. I'm such a loser, haha.






He has some other great covers (one of my particular favorites is Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill), a cover of Wyclef's song. So good. And Clumsy, a cover of Fergie's.) But he has some great original songs. So check him out.

And onto news about me. PEOPLE SUCK. Seriously, they suck. Like majorly.
I decided to ride my bike down to Michael's to get some soapy stuff because I need to finish my Chistmas gifts. So I rode it down and I'm breathing heavily and it sucks because I don't work out. Ever. I hate working out. But I figured riding my bike would be good for my health and good for the environment. Plus my car is ridiculously low on gas and I didn't want to spend any money for some of I could help it.

So I get to Michael's and I'm shopping around, trying to cool down because the ride made me really hot. And they don't even have what I want. No soapy stuff. I wanted the 6 dollar bag and they only had a 9 dollar block. FAIL. So I decide to leave before I spend any monies on stuff I don't need. And I walk out and I'm walking my bike out of the parking lot. When I get on the bike starts to wobble like mad. So I frown all RAWR like and look down and see that my tire is FLAT. FLAT FLAT FLAT. For absolutely no reason because it sure as hell wasn't flat when I locked it up.

Some fucktard actually let all the air out of my tire :(

So I had to walk my bike home like a loser. And I'm sure all the people driving around me were all "why the fuck isn't that girl riding her bike?!" LOSER. That's what I was. And it made me sad. So I came home and moped and then drove to Hobby Lobby.

This is a public service announcement for anyone who uses or is planning to use whitening strips.

When you have those things in your mouth do not, I repeat, do not flip your hair over your head.  As in, when you are blow drying your hair, don't flip it over your head to dry the underbits or to give it more volume.  If you do this then I can guarantee that the bleaching stuff will go straight up your nose and burn all your little nose hairs.  Similar to what happens when you get chlorine up your nose, but more painful.


This has been a warning from your friendly neighborhood Jessica.  You're welcome.

More crafts! I really have been super productive today. Like...more productive than I have been in forever.

I finished a gift for Chris for his birthday by 9AM, was out of the house by 11 to go to the bank and post office to send his gift off (Happy Birthday), made my apron by 2:30, bought the thingy that I'm going to use for my siser's gift by 4:30, drew a picture for my aunt's silent auction for her Pan-American club by 5:00 and finished an iPod cozy by 8:30. Plus, I ate dinner somewhere in there. I am a BEAST.

Check out my cozy. It's SWEET (hahaha, PUN).

So a couple of things. First of all I am alcohol server certified, so as soon as I get back home from Christmas I'm getting a job as a bartender. Because being poor sucks balls. Majorly.

Secondly, I made an apron today. For my birthday my dad gave me a whole bunch of his old ties and there weren't quite enough to make a skirt out of. So...what's half of a skirt? ANAPRON, RIGHT!

I think it's really cute and I'm going to wear it around everywhere now because I'm crafty and crafty people wear aprons.








And if you're wondering where my arms are...I raised them above my head because they were looking funny in all the pictures I was taking. *CHOPSTHEMOFF*



OH! And a week or so ago I made soap! And they're pretty!

I don't have much to say about what this entry is going to be about. Just look at the pictures and enjoy. These Vulva Puppets are big. You could fit your head in it. Although I don't think I would recommend it. Can you say CHRISTMAS GIFT?! Yespls.

Oh, and bee tee dub, these are about $500. 4srs.

I have so much stuff I like sharing. I'm an LJ obsessed freakazoid. I blame Flock. Because anything that makes something easier, like Flock does with blogging, flagging and feeds, makes me happy. So holla.

I was looking through my Digg feeds to see if there was anything interesting. And there were a couple things, like the WGA strike talking about going into conversation on Thanksgiving. And the Top 10 Worst Nekkid Moments in Movies. And then I saw thing really interesting video feed.



How To Make A "Secret Container" Out Of A LIGHTER - video powered by Metacafe

I was looking through some of the comments left for this video and there was one left by a police officer. And this police officer was all like "It's amazing where people leave things. I'll have to start looking into lighters now, too." How smart. Leave a couple of joints in your lighter, hidden away from the eyes of prying family members, cops, strangers. Or your cocaine. Or your housekey. Or your collection of fingernails. Anything goes.


I'm currectly watching the Iron Chef America one where Besh goes against Batali in the Battle Andouille. And I SO want sausage now. Spicy sausage. Chorizo. Yummmmmm.



And I was just on my Sundance Channel for a bit of noise and I saw a preview for this movie called War/Dance. It's about the Invisible Children in Uganda who get taken in the middle of the night from their homes to be children soldiers for the army against their will. And if they didn't join the army then they would be killed or their families would be killed. Thousands of children get taken and thousands never return. Some manage to escape, but it's rare. I've been meaning to see the movie Invisible Children for a while now but haven't had the chance.

There's this new movie called War/Dance which documents this one small town's school and their involvement in a music festival. It's this huge competition and the winners gain a lot of respect within the country. The kids just look like they are so relieved to be taken away from the burden of having to think about being taken from their homes. It just looks so amazing and these kids are so breathtaking.



I don't have anyone to go with which makes me sad but maybe I'll have a chance to see it when I go to my sister's, if it is still out at the time.


So, those are my two videos for the day. OH! AND GO ND! We finally won a game, haha. Our second win this season, and perfect timing too. It was the very last home game for this season so at least our seniors got to go out with a win, which was nice. And Zibby played as QB, which was strange and awkward. AND he almost got in a fight with this 300 lb dude, and Zib's not THAT big. But I wouldn't want to get in a fight with Zib no matter how big I was. He's an amateur champion boxer. Like...Madison Square Garden match champion. Like...knock you out in less than a minute champion.

Anyway, it's nice to see them win. And now I need to call a friend because she's mad at me because I haven't talked to her in a while. Rawr, I'm not excited for that. I hate phones.

Hahahaha, omg. I think I'm so effin funny.


This was actually a lot harder than I thought it would be. And I had to do it a couple times before I got it right. And my vocal chords suffered majorly for it. I've been laughing at it so hopefully I'm not the only one who will. And Starla wanted the clip of me singing, but it's easier to make a fool of myself on purpose rather than making a fool out of myself thinking that I was being serious.

And that last move is my sitting-down running man. Because I gotta go my own way.

P.S. You might want to keep all household pets away because I don't think they'd like it.

So, I think there's some sort of ghost in this house.  It's not an extremely old home and, as far as I know, no one has died here, but that doesn't change my mind.  There must be some sort of ghost or spirit or entity that's moving throughout my house.  And I think it's been pretty active the past week or so.  Since I've moved in I've always heard strange noises.  Like banging noises, as if a window or door was being shut, even though I know all the doors and windows are locked.  But a few days ago I was getting something by this large cabinet thing.  It has three open compartments and then one compartment on the bottom which is shut by doors which we keep CDs and records in.  And on the top compartment there was this Indian pot that had previously been broken by my dog.  But it was just kind of sitting there, not close to the edge from what I remember.  But I bent over to pick something up by the ground to pick something up and suddenly I felt this pounding thing on my back.  The pot had fallen.  For no reason.  From what I remember, I didn't even touch the cabinet and there was no reason it should have fallen.  It hurt :(

And since then the noises in my house have gotten worse.  I've heard footstep type sounds, more banging, strange creaking noises that I haven't heard before and a whole bunch of other strange unexplainable noises.  It's not the wind because it's been relatively mild here in the wind-department.  There have been much harder wind storms in which I've never heard these noises.  And it hasn't gotten cold enough for pipes to be banging.  My heats not even on and it doesn't GO on until it gets cold enough to be triggered on.  So I have a ghosty.  I hope it doesn't try and hurt me again like it did with the pot.  That really hurt and I ended up getting a big bruise on my back from it.  I'll just have to monitor what happens around the house.  I've only ever had nice ghosties before.


Anyways.  Had my first bartending class today and the love of my life wasn't there :(  This one dude was kinda cute but he was kind of intimidating.  And then there was this other dude who was reeeeeeaaaaaaallllllyyyyyyyyy slllooooooooowwwwwww.  As in...he moved slow and talked slow.  Not that he was defunct in the brain.  They were the only two close to my age.  The two ladies there were much older than me.  And I RAWKED.  Well, as far as I could tell.  Free-pouring is going to be hard for me because I can't stay consistent, but I'll keep you updated.





...

I have this other thing that I wrote out, but it's really long and extremely weepy...so I think I'm going to keep it private for me.  Um, and since only Andie and Starla read this, I know that you both know this person.  And I feel awkward talking about it on a blog because it might somehow get back to this person.  Anyways, if you're interested, I'm willing to talk about it, but who knows.



And I don't know if I have a picture to share.  I was thinking of sharing this clip of me singing Carolina In My Mind but I feel stupid sharing me singing because I don't sing in public.  Sooooo, I'll leave a video of JT singing it.  He does a much better job of it than I do anyways.

Alright, I couldn't figure out a way to blog this so I'm just going to write it up myself.

First of all, you can check out the link which will tell you about Hayden Panettiere's arrest warrent. Although I know Starla will be disappointed, I'm relieved to see that it's only for trying to save the dolphins in Japan. She's so cute.





The video shows her bawling about losing the fight to save the dolphins. And although I completely agree that dolphins should be saved because they are adorable...the Japanese have a point. Why should dolphins be treated any different than any other fish in the sea? That's not to say I want to kill them or agree withm killing them. It's just that I think they have somewhat of a point. It's nice seeing Hayden doing something meaningful. Although if she had gotten injured and not been able to appear on Heroes I might have had to punch her in the nose. Destroy my Heroes and I destroy you.

Anyways, more info on this if you don't want to watch the video...Hayden and 5 other protesters went out on their surfboards and tried to prevent dolphins from entering this cove thing. And then the fishermen came over and started hitting the protesters with propellers, hahaha. But the protesters couldn't stop the fishermen from going on a murderous rampage, which resulted in the entire cove turning red from the sheer amount of blood from the dolphins. Gross.

Yay Hayden!


More than this, as much as I like the idea of Hayden and Milo going out (so cute) the age difference gives me the willies. It's like the Ashley Olson and Lance Armstrong thing. It's just weird.

So I was watching Fuse earlier today and I was watching this dude's Rock Show and basically they just show music videos and I saw the MV for Straylight Run's Soon We'll Be Living In The Future. And every time I see anything having to do with Straylight Run I always do the same thing "ZOMG, THAT DUDE LOOKS JUST LIKE...!!!!" Every single time.

So.



That dude looks JUST like this guy I knew at Notre Dame. Except skinnier and not quite as hot. And I think that John Nolan is hot so the fact that I think this dude from school was hotter is saying quite a lot. Anyways, this dude, Jim, and I had a class freshman year together and we chillaxed and didn't pay attention along with Lucius. It was the three of us. Which was crazy because both Jim and Lucius were ridiculously hot and not only that but were really sporty-type people. Lucius was on the varsity La-X team and was just so sweet. And Jim was just adorable with a great smile who was on the Irish Guard. And both guys were about 6'2. And I'm 5'2. Haha.

Anyways. Jim and I stayed aqauintances throughout school. We were on a flip-cup team together once (the first time I realized my deep-felt love for flip-cup) and would say hi with happy smiles as we walked passed each other on the quad. And then Senior year when I started going out every day we saw each other out at the bars more. And then he started dating my really great friend. Which was weird because he had a girlfriend...kinda. But not really. It was a weird situation. And then he became a jerk to my friend, which made me sad because I really liked him and I knew him first.



Anyways, moving on. THEY LOOK IDENTICAL. Except John being skinnier and not quite as hot. Just wanted to share that.


The heater man is supposed to come today. He's going to turn my AC off and my heat on, which I'm super excited for because I am so cold in the morning.

Tomorrow I start Bartending classes. And I have a lot of homework to do for it. I have to made these recipe cards on 3x5 index cards and there are about a MILLION recipes for me to copy. And some of them get really complicated and I don't know how to fit it all on on my card (like Manhattans and Martinis). But hopefully it'll be fun and I'll meet people. I'm halfway hoping that I meet a guy because I really need to go on a date. I'm lacking male affection in my life right now and I need it. Moving to a new place, by myself, poor does not make meeting ANY person easy. But a man would be nice.

And yesterday I was cleaning out my fridge and was dumping things in my garbage disposal. I think I got overexcited about it because my disposal stopped. No noise. It wasn't running at all. So I cried a little inside and left it hoping it would turn on when I come back. And then Starla found a link about how to reset my disposal. So I did that and it hummed but then turned back off. So then my dad called and we talked about the disposal and he said to stick my hand down there and move things around. And I said HELLZNAH so I stuck a spoon down there and dug stuff around and out. And I managed to get it to work, but it was GROSS.


And lastly, I wanted to share this image.

I love Soulja Boy. And I love this dance. I haven't taught it to myself yet but I'll be sure to work on it. This teacher needed to raise money for something and the kids gave him money to dance. Basically he was prosituting himself. And he did awesome. I love it.







But then there's THIS video which is JUST as awesome. I love the boy in the front, he's so hardcore.



I don't really have anything else to say, haha. Just wanted to share those videos because they're awesome. I saw them on Ellen and, although I'm not a huge fan of Ellen right now. I don't really support the fact that she crossed the line for the WGA. The writers deserve a bit more. And I was reading this thing that someone from the WGA said about how she went on for DAYS with Iggy the dog but hardly touched upon the situation of the Writers Strike. And that's annoying. Iggy is in a great home but these writers aren't getting anything they deserve. So yea. That's what I have to say about that.


YAY SOULJA BOY!
