Sooo...

So, I haven't posted here in FOREVER.
I just got caught up with stupid things like school and work and bathing myself.
You know, the unnecessary things that I like to do from time to time.
Anywho's I thought I'd share my Aldo dance video contest thingy with you.
The contest is based on views and likes on youtube and shares on facebook and tweets on twitter.
So go to youtube and like the hell out of it! please? =)
It's just me dancing around being silly.

Wondercon 2010

Pictures are here.
Didn't have time to post them up here because I have to go to work.

Full blog soon. =)

Pictures!

What have I been up to?
Seeing as I'm in the library now, pretending to do something pertaining to school work, I can't really do a very good video blog.
SO I've decided to flood this post with bunches of pictures I've taken since my last entry.

Without further ado...

I went to my cousin, Joy's wedding. Pretty exciting.

The happy couple. AWWWW.
There was food there. That's Tony eating food.
left to right, me, my mom, and my sister Bridgette
There's a dude's patootie in my picture!
That's me, my uncle Bob and my sister. I look like I have a kung fu grip there.
My sister's "friendboy" Morgan, my sister, me, and Tony

The cutest kitten ever (with an inflamed liver)

My dog, Benny, he's a gangsta, yo.

Hats! Yeah, I look like a trucker.

and my puppy, Ping pong. (I really have no clue what she's chewing on there.)

I hope that makes up for my intermittent silence. This blog is too fun to ignore.
I'm researching on a new blog video soon and I'm also training for another Half Dome venture!
WOOOO!
I have to go get suited up for my Volleyball class. Fun.
I hope everyone had an amazing February. =)

I'm BACK! And I'm NOT Contagious anymore!!!

YAY!


Oh and I wanted to say thanks to the people who actually comment on my blog.
You are awesome Kelvin, symphony of love, sweet romance, calvinshhmalvin, and of course Jordan!

OH! and a shout out to a fellow blogger! He was nice enough to make an entire blog post about me. =) It's Kelvin, he's super funny and you should check out his blog. =)

I'm sick (yet again)

So, I'm sick again.
I thought my immune system was strong enough to fight off another cold, but I guess I was betrayed by my body. I still have to work today too. UUUUGHHH!
I was going to make a video blog but the truth is, I've lost my voice this time and I have yet to master the art of sign language.
Hopefully I'll have a video up by christmas.

Happy Holidays everyone. =)

Thanksgiving was Yesteday

So this is my review for 2009's thanksgiving.
I finally got my fill of turkey as soon as I got off work.

I hope everyone had a thankful thanksgiving. =)

Starbucks for free? NO WAY!

Sorry I've been gone for a while.
But I've decided to make a comeback!
YAY!
Anyways, here's my new video blog.
It's basically what happened on Sunday that I didn't have time to post until now.
WOO!

Library thoughts

So, I'm sitting in the very comfortable and cozy Fresno State Henry Madden library with the essential Starbucks signature hot chocolate and a very cheesy danish and listening to my guilty pleasures playlist and bopping to Taylor Swift.

I should be doing my homework but I was stupid this morning and forgot my books at home.

Wonderful.

So now I must kill time before my sociology class at 10.

And who coulda thunk of a better way to use my time than post on my recently dormant blog?

My music switches over to the Jonas Brothers singing about slipping into some sort of lava as I begin to apologize for not posting very often.

I could get on my knees and grovel for forgiveness tossing the rest of my danish your way as a sort of sacrifice. I could call on the all-powerful Poseidon to send a great tidal wave to make you forget that I haven't posted very many entries. (I've been watching clash of the gods on the History Channel. that show kicks ass.) I could make up an excuse about how I was trapped in a district where there were thousands of aliens called Prawns that were people just like us but were treated terribly by humans.

But seeing as I just finished my danish, Poseidon hasn't been returning my phone calls, and the Prawns have become my friends, I've run out of excuses.

I'll try to make more posts. School and work have just been kicking my butt lately and I dropped my giant ear cleaner thing to fight them back.

I'll get back on my feet. I promise. =)

Where have you been jessica?

Well, I've been compiling videos of stuff that I've done since school started, and was about to slam it all together when something terrible happened...!!!

I got an evil cold.
Well, I'm pretty disappointed. I'm sure I got it at work because I do work at a drugstore, where people go to buy medicine to fix their illnesses.
Who woulda thunk it?
Anywhos.
I just woke up about half an hour ago, after getting sent home from work by my awesome crew that could tell that I was falling apart as a cashier today.



Yes, I know I look terrible.
Real blog coming soon and a reply to Mr. Nowhere in Particular's lovely award he has bestowed upon me, as soon as I can battle this evil thing and sound normal.

Pokemon, Zombies, Back to School, and Nowhere in Particular

So the school days are drawing near and I'm pumped.
I'm so excited. I want a 4.0 this semester.
I goofed off a lot last semester so this semester will have to make up for it.



Oh and on Mr. Nowhere in Particular's blog, he was wondering why my blog was called, "anything but windchimes".
Well...
my next door neighbor has like a million windchimes on their property but they're near my window.
It was a very windy night and I was trying to get some sleep because I worked in the morning.
But it was constant, annoying, jingly, windchimes all night.
So, in short.
I really don't like windchimes.
No offense to all those windchimes lovers.

Nowhere in Particular is here, go there for coolness.

Just because I'm silly.

So, a little girl decided to tell me how much she loved the Jonas Brothers while I rang up her mother's purchase.

This is the story. You could either read the text or just watch me be a dork.
Your choice. =) Haha.



Just me being silly.
Yeah, I'm too old to be a Jonas Brothers fangirl.
But I can always pretend.

Speedlanes and ABBA

I just thought of this while driving a verrry long drive home from the bay area.
It was made longer because I was constantly stuck behind people who insisted on driving in the speed lane even though they were only doing the speed limit or less.
I just find it frustrating so this is my revenge!



OH and I'm going to finally learn how to drive stick shift!!
I'm sure you're thinking,
"OH MY HEAVENS SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE STICK SHIFT????"
nope.. but I shall learn and video it. =)

Adventures in Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

My boyfriend and I decided to go on an animal adventure and go hug all the animals at the park.
I didn't really get to hug any of the animals... but I did get to stare at their amazingness.

And here's my amazing day. =)
Watch it, I PROMISE it's edited and not boring.


It was a pretty fun trip. I went on all the roller coasters too but they wouldn't allow anyone to take stuff on the ride.
You can just imagine the funnnesss of the coasters.
It was really fun I even made a new friend, Shouka!

Oh and I realized I made my 50th post about 4 posts ago... so happy 50th post for me. =)

So life is going ok

Hola.
So I really like making videos, I'll probably make a video of my amazzzing sixflags voyage which will be taking place in a couple of days, right now.. i've been swamped with work which is cool because I do need a way to pay for books next semester.

I was going to make another video blog but I feel kinda icky because I just got off work and I'm a little sweaty in the sort of way that would stick you to the fake leather interior of a jet black sedan.

I'm sure you needed to know that.

My day went by pretty intensely.

An elderly man decided to raise his voice to me because an item he believed to be buy one get one free turned out to be full price.

"Um sir. Where did you see the sign that says 'Buy one get one free'?" I ask in the politest way I could manage.

"It was right next to the vitamins!" He shouted, the fire's in his eyes and the words are really clear.

"I'm sorry sir, but that sign goes to a different product..." I pointed to the item which was a laxative, "Is this the item you would like?"

By this time there was a lot of customers waiting in line, I called for a second checker but I really wanted to say, "This is my message to you, the customers are linin' up, we're bringin' brighter days. They're all in line, waitin' for you. Can't you see?"

But I didn't, instead I just smiled as he began his tirade of how I should honor the sign even though it was clearly not for his product and I should be ashamed for offering him a laxative.

I apologized and smiled and rang the other items and bid him "Have an amazing day!"
I tell myself,
Don't try to fight it,
There ain't nothin' you can do,
Relax your mind, lay back and groove

So tonight, gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf
and just enjoy yourself

Toodles. =)

OH THE CRAZINESS

So I decided to speak out my blog with a video of what i would have written had i written it down rather than have actually spoken it...
If you guys don't find my video style of blog fun... then i'll go back to the old school way of my blog and get out a chisel and slab of granite.

I actually have a slab of granite from yosemite. So... all i need is a chisel.

eh... can i borrow your chisel?




Oh and apparently someone fell off half dome like 3 days after my attempt to get up there...
I guess it was a smart idea to turn around.
Here's the story.

My Journey

So, I'm finally done editing my footage of my trip to (almost) half dome.

It started raining... and all the experienced hikers were turning around telling us that when a big granite rock gets wet it's really unsafe trying to hike down it because it gets really slippery.

I really wanted to keep going... but I really didn't want to die.

So here's my amazing trip. =)

I've been preparing

Sorry for the abscence but i've been preparing to rip through half dome.
Yep.
Going to yosemite and going to reach the top of half dome if its the last thing i do.

I will DEFINITELY be youtubing this. toodles for now.

Youtube and Brownies

So, I'm on youtube. Of course I've been on that site for a million years but I've never submitted a singing video.
This is a video of me being the dorky girl I am karaokeing to a camera.

Oh and at my store where I work, I'm trying desperately to sell brownies and tea, because I get a 5 cent commission on them, and if I sell at least 12 brownies and tea in one day, each day I work at my store in a week (4 days) I will have gained $2.40. I get paid biweekly so then I'll get almost an extra $5 on my paycheck.
That doesn't sound like that much money.... and it isn't ..... But I'm just trying to make a living.
So buy my brownies.
I give away free high fives for every brownie I sell.
the end.

Finals

Finals aren't fun, as usual.

You'd think I'd have realized it by now.

Chemistry kinda sucks. Biology kinda sucks.
Biochemistry is going to suck.

I pretty much hate chemistry but for some reason, I've taken two semesters of it already and am going to take Organic Chemistry next semester even with how much I loathe it.

I want to be a pharmacist but there's a lot of chemistry walls I have to walk through and I'm not too good at being a ghost.

I was talking to one of the pharmacists at the store I work at and he said that he hates chemistry with a passion.

I guess it's possible even with an uncontrollable rage against chemistry.
I'm sort of like the incredible hulk, you know?
Like chemistry is the thing that makes me angry.

I dunno.

wish me luck on my finals.

My weekend

Skullcrusher Mountain - Jonathon Coulton
This song has to be the most romantic song ever. It doesn't autostart, so random music doesn't freak you out while you're surfing my page. Don't tell me I'm the only one that finds that annoying.
If you listen to it while you read my post, it'll give the perfect mood.

So my weekend was pretty intense.
My boyfriend and I went to the mall and had an adventure. I've decided to split the adventure into two different parts in this post... and here it goes.



Part I: The Transvestite


So we're wandering around the mall, when suddenly Tony stops walking.


I stop too, confused, and wonder what he's probably stepped in that has caused his feet to stick to the shiny white floor.


"That..that's a guy." He says in almost a half whisper.


"Huh...?"


He points with his eyes in the direction of a lanky looking girl with ash gray hair that waterfalled down her back.


It looked like a girl. But apparently... looks are deceiving.


And that's why I decided, I must confirm that this indeed is a transvestite.


I have nothing against transvestites. In fact, I have a favorite transvestite, Eddie Izzard. Everyone needs a favorite transvestite.



Anywho, I was on the hunt. Shopping bags in hand, we were moving quickly in the direction of the girl. Her purple knee highs leading the way, we followed the strangely dressed girl. But we followed sneakily. We were being very inconspicuous, trying to not get distracted by the many stores. Sanrio was calling my name but I turned away from the bright-pink-hello-kitty filled store; I had a mission.



Then suddenly. She stopped. She stopped and turned.



We stopped and pretended to be enthralled by the shininess of the escalator and held our breaths.



She turned and looked at the display of flatware in the shop window. And that's when I saw it.

The 5 o' clock shadow.



MISSION STATEMENT:
Verify and locate transvestite in the viscinity of the valleyfair mall.

COMPLETE





Part II: In Hiding



Hot topic isn't usually my scene, but that's the only place I can buy band tshirts that I like when I'm not at a concert.

And the clearance rack in any store is awesome.



So there I am, shuffling through the XXL's and XXXL's when I find a lonely medium.

Oh snap.

And it's a Death Cab for Cutie shirt? OH MY HEAVENS. I've hit the jack pot.



I quickly grab the hanger with the light blue shirt dangling along. I then here a voice behind me.



"Eh hem. Excuse me?" It's a girl talking to one of the guys who works there, he replies with a very bright attitude that was very much the opposite of the decor of the store.

"Do you have any death cab for cutie tshirts?"



I gasp and turn the logo to face me and, to hid it.



"No... I don't think we have any new one's in, they'd probably be on the clearance rack."



I slowly inch away from the clearance rack as the girl and hot topic guy start digging through the discontinued lime green skirts and plaid skinny jeans. The tshirt was pressed against my stomach, in the way a mother would hold her baby if someone were trying to steal it from her.



MISSION STATEMENT:

Obtaining awesome band tshirt whilst others were searching for said tshirt.

COMPLETE

The end.

Oh, and you probably realized that the song you listened to has nothing to do with this post... but it was funny though, right?
