Dear internet,
Oh how I wished I actually had people to share some of this stuff with. Seriously, I am jealous of Kristina Horner, Isaac Deitz, and Haley G Hoover who I consider Gods and Goddesses of blogging. I love their blogs so much that it makes me wish I had some fan base like they do just so that I can share my thoughts with a bunch of random strangers and have a good conversation out of it! Okay, it's more than that. It's really just the community I see in the comments section that makes me envious of them most.
Now we all know that's not going to happen...but a girl can dream!!
My mind is boggling and I have sooo much to say that I just get exhausted over the plethora of topics I could talk about. So instead of doing that, I am going to jot down some things that have happened to me in just this past week. If ANYONE reads my blog you should wake up your lazy fingers and comment on your favorite or the one you find most interesting. Majority wins (which will probably be by one) and I promise I'll post a story about it the next day. Here goes nothing!*
*~*My neighbors house caught on fire 2 days ago*~*
*~*I laughed out loud at a headline on our school newspaper about an "Assault" on campus that was more or less like a drive-by booty smack*~*
~*~One of my videos on youtube can now make revenue!!!! How exciting!!!~*~
*~*I have lost 8 pounds on my diet and I'm officially not overweight anymore*~*
*~*I recently got an idea about an awesome video to do making fun of everyday things...but I don't want to be a communitychannel look-a-like. I still really wanna do it*~*
*~*I wanna play WoW for the first time. Don't judge me*~*
*~*Avenue Q is coming to my college in 2 weeks and I am SO pumped!*~*
*~*I stayed up ALL night for a test....and the test was crap and I'm just really annoyed and kinda want to vent*~*
*~*Let's talk about youtube! Like who I'm really into right now...or books. Books are good!*~*

*This is a REALLY bad idea. I've recently learned in sociology the more options a person has the less satisfied they are with their choices...so I'm sorry if I caused you psychological pain by trying to decide which one to choose. Guess I'm evil like that. BWAHAHA <----Don't know why I did that, I actually HATE that phrase. I'm not freaking Jafar from Aladdin.

I wish my dreams came true
Two nights ago (before I went to visit my grandma) I dreamed she was right there in my living room coming in and out of reality like she used to. At one point, she was completely with me in the here and now. I talked to her. Asked her how she was feeling. She told me she was frustrated and tends to make up stuff quite a lot, which is true. I guess this is the only closure I'll get with my grandma. It made me quite happy to see her in my dream and be able to talk with her. Because the reality of the fact is that she is in the last stages of Alzheimer's Disease. She is no longer verbal. All she can do now is grunt and scream. My insides were killing me when I went to see her yesterday. She looked so uncomfortable. And she wasn't screaming when we were there, which wasn't the case for my poor aunt. I can only imagine what she must be feeling. That's her mom laying there.
Anyway....sorry, enough of the depressing story. The point of that was that even though I can't have closure in real life, I know I have closure in my heart. I just wish she would not suffer.
On a happier note, I have another dream I wish would come true! This one occurred last night so it's still fresh in my mind (and very short)
I woke up like any other day...went to check my mail and received an email from adsense saying I had made revenue! I was like oh cool, it'll probably be the minimum around $10 or so. Oh boy was I off. It was $125!!! I was shocked. Really really shocked! The end, isn't that a great dream though!? That'll never happen, but that would be fantastic if it did!
Am I the only one who remembers their dreams??? I mean, I have VIVID colorful and real life dreams. I usually remember all the details too. Not many people do apparently (so says my scientifically stratified sample of my friends) So tell me in the comments if you have vivid dreams or even remember your dreams. My roommate used to have a dream book and I would look up what my dreams mean every morning. Once it told me I would marry a rich man. WELL I'M STILL WAITING FOR THAT ONE TO COME TRUE!!!
Oh by the way, I recently did a video on this topic. Go watch it here!!

Fail post
If I don't tell someone this I think I might explode! And most likely this post will be private, but I just need to vent and writing is always worked before to make me feel better.
The past 2 days....have been from hell!
Day 1.
My best friend came home from tennessee! I know this doesn't sound terrible, it actually isn't bad at all. I love her to pieces and I'm soooo glad I got to see her. She literally jumped in my arms when we met again and wrapped her legs around me. Just like in the movies! ^^ Haha, and that's why I lover her! Miraculously I caught her and spun her around. Sounds all good right? Well it was! But the situation started with the boyfriend. Not mine, hers. It's her first boyfriend....ever! She's 19. It's kind of a big deal for her...and being the best friend she needs my approval. He's not a bad guy honestly. Kind of quiet, but nice. The problem is that no matter what they do...they HAVE to do it together.
Okay....so I have a bit of a territorial issue here. I was literally stuck with them because my house was being shown in the morning and I couldn't go home and mess it up (so my mom and dad say). SO I had to watch them cuddle during the movie...trail behind them holding hands in Wal-Mart...watch him kiss her head...and then witness the two of them going outside for some private time. Gag me. I mean...I get it! It's a new relationship. Everything is fun, and new, and exciting, but the thing that irritates me the MOST is that I told her I'm bad with PDA!!!! Especially if it's my best friend! To me...the whole night it seemed like they were saying "Yeah we'll talk to you when we want, but that won't be often because we are too absorbed in each other." That's not how they meant it, I know it, but I'm still upset!
Day 2
So I was planning on having some girl time with Charly before bed because that's what we normally do, however, she left me and opted to sleep on the couch. Whatever, not a big deal. But in the morning I wake up to hearing and seeing the two of them snuggling in his bed. It worries me, she has no boundaries, and she knows it. You can't just go into a new relationship with no boundaries! So bad start to the morning. I left as soon as I could. When I got back together with them later, she was leaning in his side the WHOLE time we were together. I'm so annoyed. I mean...there were 4 of her other friends over...even the couple that was engaged didn't act like that.
So based on their actions...I don't like this guy. Not at all. As a person, he's great. I just need him to back off my best friend. I can't handle this. I'm going crazy! Not to mention I was told today my grandma was dying. Yeah, I can't go into detail or I'll burst into tears right now.
Too much stress. Too much. I know I'm single. I know I'm jealous. I know I'm heartbroken. There is no cure. I need a good cry and a good vent. Also some time away. But I really wish I had someone to tell all this too...
Okay NOW I'm crying. END OF POST! I can't talk about this.

Weight Loss Day 3
So it's day 3, and on this diet it is strict on when we can weigh ourselves. You are supposed to weigh yourself until every 4 days on the Protein day. But it's like it was calling my name...to prove to me that the diet was actually working. I couldn't help myself! I got out the scale and was shocked by the results!
What? You want to know what the results were? Oh well! I'm going to leave you on a little cliff hanger and talk about my day. BWAHAHAHAHA I know, so mean right? Actually you probably don't care as much as I do. That's okay, I forgive you!
Sooo...my dad recently got offered a job at the lake in Ohio. You don't know how excited he was, because his dream since he was a little boy was to move up to the lake! Now it's finally coming true!! We're in the process of packing up useless stuff to sell our house and buy one at the lake. My parents really wanted a condo...but that might not be a possibility now. They just found out recently that the down payment for a condo was 17%!!!! Compare that to a 3% down payment on a regular house. Now they are leaning toward buying a house! The one they have been looking at was off the market for some time. Then we miraculously receive a phone call this week saying it has been foreclosed and they are going to sell it for dirt cheap. That probably means that it will be run down...but it's right next door (literally) to my dad's favorite restaurant so he's going to go check it out today actually and see what the damage is. If it's not too bad, he's going to make an offer on it. I hope they didn't trash it too much! I'm just anxious to move to Ohio!! That also involves the Situation, whom I haven't talked to in 3 days...but that's okay! It's finals week for the Situation after all.
In other news.... No I don't think there is other news. So onto the weight loss results! You ready for this??? This morning my weight said..... 165!!!! That's almost 6 pounds!!!
Now listen to me good...I am NOT starving myself here, because that amount of weight lost in such a short period of time is not good for anyone! I'm pretty sure it was just my scale messing up...but that's why I was so shocked! It'll probably go up by Saturday because I'm going home, and that's always hard to continue diets at home!
Oh yeah, I'm going home because I didn't see my parents over spring break...AND I need their computer printer that prints color. YAY! :D
Anyway, I hope you all are having a good day.
Until tomorrow!

Day 2
So, today was the second day of the diet. How's it going you may ask? Well...let's just say that you can't have Starbursts in a fat girl's room when she's on a diet, OKAY!? Haha! Sooooo, I finished off the Starbursts last night and went to bed early so I wouldn't feel hungry.
Today I was supposed to eat starchy foods. UGH! That means Rice.
If you can't tell by that photo that I found on google...I really REALLY hate rice. It's so bland! I need some FLAVOR-FLAV!!!! And I wasn't allowed to put vegetables in it either. I mean, I hate vegetables to so I wouldn't want to, but I might consider it just to give it some kick!
Besides my new found hatred for "Starch Day" my day is going pretty well. It got off to a rocky start though thanks to my 9 o'clock teacher. She was just being plain old MEAN to the students today. She passed out some hand outs and some people were trying to grab 2, probably one for their missing friend. The teacher told them off and said "If they're not here, that's their fault right? You don't have to carry them!" Well lady, have you ever stopped to think that the students really COULDN'T make it to class? I mean, there are a plethora of things that could have happened. You don't know the situation. She's probably going off the assumption that today is St. Patricks day and most college students skip classes and drink. Well...that's probably true. Regardless, it pissed me off. It probably shouldn't because it wasn't directed at me, but she just rubs me the wrong way and I internally find something wrong with everything she does. Like not repeating answers that others say in class when I clearly can't hear them in the back of the room and then tell us later that will be on the test but refuse to repeat the answer. I only sit in the back because I'm always the last one in because I dread that class everyday! She's such a moron! She doesn't even write her own notes or tests!! She stole them off the last teacher and is too lazy to take the old teacher's name off of the notes!!!
/endteacherrant. Only 8 more weeks of her Roxanne, only 8 more weeks!
On happier news! I heard this awesome joke today...you ready for this?
Q. How come the Irish only put 239 beans in their cans?
A. Because if they had one more it'd be FARTY! *said in an irish accent* HAHAHA!
Okay I might sometimes be immature, but this had me on the floor!
I love my work...I'm sitting here blogging while my boss is in a meeting. Granted I should be running errands but I just can't because he's in the office right now, that has the materials I need. Lucky break, right?? Haha no really he doesn't care.
I'm off now! I'll post my weight loss in 3 days! See you all later!

Weight Loss day 1
As you all know, I'm not the skinniest person alive, and for my own health I'd like to lose some weight. Another good motivator that really kicked me into gear is that I'll be in a wedding a little over a year from now...gotta look good in that dress!!
Okay, enough about being a girly girl. This diet is REALLY intense. It's built to change your metabolism so that once you stop the diet you don't gain it all back. Nicole's friend did it and lost around 40 lbs and hasn't gained any back. THAT is impressive! So I'm giving it a go! I'm doing it with two friends, so hopefully we'll be able to do that! Our motivation for completing is that at the end of the month we will all go to Olive Garden to celebrate whatever we have lost (with healthy food of course!) and if someone loses then the loser gets to buy the drinks. Haha! Yup, sounds good to me! There's no way I'm losing!
Strangely enough...I JUST started this diet but I'm abnormally hungry. I had 2 fruits for breakfast, and I think that I'm just hungry because I keep thinking about it! The diet is constantly on my mind now. So much thought of food isn't good for a girl! I still have a 2 hour class to go to before I can eat lunch! How will I make it!?!?! Stop talking about it, that's how. So...new topic!
I have a "Situation" If anyone reads HaleyGHoover's blog you'll know what I'm talking about. This Situation has been present for about 3 years. Maybe if the Situation has stayed around that long, he'll continue to be here? We'll see....
Anyway, I got a lot to do, sorry this blog sucks, I've been writing it little by little throughout the day, and I know it doesn't flow, but that's that! :)
Starting Weight: 171.6
Goal Weight: 150

I'm not sure what this is...
So here I am, at work again. This time I only have about 15 minutes until I clock out, so don't be expecting a long blog or anything!
This weekend was really fun! I got to hang out with Nicole, go shopping with her. I watched the first season of Lost (and now onto the second!) It's getting a little rediculous. When I'm getting ready, any time I have a spare moment...I'm watching lost. The last season starts next week and I'm not ready for it!!! Oh well...I guess I'm just a failure like that. It's okay though. I'll be caught up eventually.
For those of you who like Lost...My favorite character is Charlie...and me least favorite character is ... no I don't have one of those. They're all great in their own way. Unless you count the guy who got sucked into the plane engine the first episode. I mean...way to be gross!
I mean...how can you NOT like Charlie's adorableness and hot bod, eh!? I mean...he could have done without the drugs...but I love him regardless!
Back to the real world....it's SNOWING! Or should I say..it looks like a freaking blizzard outside!!! I mean...wind blowing, all white! There's not much on the ground but come ON! It was in the 40s yesterday! That felt really nice! It's a sadday when I think that 40 is the best weather ever. Okay that's it! I'm moving south! Not too far south to where it NEVER snows and people wear gloves in 50 degree weather. But in the middle so I don't have such frigid winters!! South Carolina maybe??? Nevada? I don't know, wherever my job takes me I suppose. And hopefully I'll find a charlie there! Without the whole drug addiction thing...yeah I can't deal with that! Just add his adorable traits and loving personality and you can't go wrong! yeah yeah I know, the only reason I love Charlie is because he IS fictional. Nothing like that is real. Wait, I thought I was supposed to be talking about real life here? Whoops! He just sort of snuck in there!
Okay here's real life, I'm going to get in trouble if I stay on here any more.
Until next time!
P.S. WHOA I just realized I blogged in the same month!! :o That NEVER happens! Cool :)

Full of win!!
This is becoming a monthly thing, huh? My bad. Literally, I am soo bad at updating this thing. Sorry invisible users who don't read this! Or should I say sorry to my future self a month from now. You probably don't care about the happenings in life, but I always like to look back and read up on what I was doing. Maybe this will make for an interesting book one day. I doubt it, but it's possible!
So...I'm actually at work right now. I know, how productive! My two bosses are in meetings with each other right now and left me with no work to do, the RA at the desk is working with another RA at the moment so I have nothing to do besides break work protocol and write a blog!
(I should probably note right here that I have an idea for all of these blogs. Put them in a binder one day. Even the ones I hand-wrote and put them in protective coverings or something like that. It could be fun to look back on someday! You'll probably read this 3 years later, Roxanne, and say OH YEAH!!! But never do it. So is my life)
Today is a Wednesday, and do you know what that means!? Church/hang-out day with Abbi!! I've gotten really close to her this past year. Even though we knew each other last year, we never really hung out. Now we hang out every Wednesday. I love our times together! Seriously, she's just a ball of fun wrapped into a petite blonde girl. Haha :)
So...it's the second week of Spring Semester classes and here are a few observations that I've had. One: it is NOT spring so they seriously need to consider changing the name of that! I am always sooo cold!! At this I don't have to pay the heating bill...this year. Two: I will not be able to lead Bible Study next year. It's been a great two years but I am seriously struggling here! Work, School, Bible Study! I mean there's a lot of meetings that go into that as well so I'm at maximum capacity with my schedule. And next year I'm going to be starting clinics. I hear they take up your life. Well that's encouraging. I'm looking forward to clinics, but at the same time it's looking daunting at the moment.
This semester Bible Study attendance also dropped in half. I understand why, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit disappointed. I mean, half the girls told me AFTER I had already bought the books. So I was a little annoyed at that. It's just plain rude to do that. But I know God has a plan for our study. It's not the number of girls that matter. God will still show up and it will be awesome!! I'm really looking forward to this book. And some of the girls even want to teach, so that will be a really cool experience for them. It will also take some of the pressure off me to teach as well. If I'm going to be honest I was a little taken aback at first, but now I think it's a great idea!
What else is going on in my life? Hmmm... A LOT actually... I don't want to get too into it right now but the gist of it is that Alex freaking annoyed me this weekend. It was really hard to love her. And Zach L. is getting closer to me. We've been friends for over a year now and I'm just afraid he's going to read into things a little bit too much. I hope that's not the case. He's just a good friend, and always will be.
They are STILL in the meeting...well I was going to wrap up this blog thing but I have nothing else to do! Okay one more story!
So Brooke met Skillet over break! In the weirdest way possible. She almost got in a car wreck by falling asleep at the wheel. She over-corrected her car and got turned around (going the wrong way on the highway!!), almost hit the bus when her car got turned around again and landed in a ditch with not a dent on the car. Nobody was hurt either. If that's not a God thing, I don't know what is! Anyway, the bus driver stopped and came over to her and asked her if she knew Jesus Christ. She had her foreign exchange friend with her so it was really awesome for him to hear that. The two women that were in the band came out and invited them inside the bus to wait while Brooke was waiting on a tow truck. So there she is...just CHILLING with skillet! :o I think my mouth was open the whole time she told me this story. From horror, to amazement, to excitement! I wish I was her...without the near death experience.
Okay I'm starting to feel guilty about not working. But what am I going to do! Guess I'll go publish this story and then see if Hannah needs any help? I don't know. Still love my job though! I mean, I'm blogging in the middle of it, aren't I? What could be better?
(I just typed in my last sentence to google and this came up. Full of win!)
So...I'm actually at work right now. I know, how productive! My two bosses are in meetings with each other right now and left me with no work to do, the RA at the desk is working with another RA at the moment so I have nothing to do besides break work protocol and write a blog!
(I should probably note right here that I have an idea for all of these blogs. Put them in a binder one day. Even the ones I hand-wrote and put them in protective coverings or something like that. It could be fun to look back on someday! You'll probably read this 3 years later, Roxanne, and say OH YEAH!!! But never do it. So is my life)
Today is a Wednesday, and do you know what that means!? Church/hang-out day with Abbi!! I've gotten really close to her this past year. Even though we knew each other last year, we never really hung out. Now we hang out every Wednesday. I love our times together! Seriously, she's just a ball of fun wrapped into a petite blonde girl. Haha :)
