That's just the way it goes...

I had an eventful weekend- to say the least. Some interesting things have happened to me in the last couple of weeks. I tried to send a picture from my phone to my blog and it didn't work. I was sending a picture of my new boyfriend- internship cut out- didn't work.

I also have to address facebook chat here- okay so here's the thing. You add that super hot guy and you are like - yes he's on facebook. I will chat him. Which in case you were wondering- adding a boy on facebook is detrimental to the start of a relationship. Not only does it put you in the friend zone- but also you are now that oober-obsessed facebook girl that creepily adds people she met for 15 minutes. So there you are wondering if you facebook chat it up...the answer is no. It always turns into this awkward situation. You are like...okay after no answer for 30 seconds which feels like 10 minutes and then you feel crazy because you can't keep writing in the chat thing if no one answers.

The second thing annoying about facebook chat and most chats in general is the person you DON'T want to chat it up with ALWAYS messages you. Not only that but they keep chatting with you- even though you clearly give one word responses, like "yup" "nope" "haha" haha is my favorite blow off phrase. I probably shouldn't post that but I'll let you in on my little secrets for "funsies." What do you do though? Is it rude to just casually stop chatting back? That's my best solution or lie and say I am on my way out...

Hot tubs and I don't mix when alcohol is involved. I have a purple toe, a scratch larger than the size of my hand on my shin, and a half sprained ankle with another scratch- all from tripping down stairs and falling on pavement...which coincidentally was next to a hot tub. So me, plus alcohol, plus hot tubs- I probably just shouldn't even do that anymore.

Recruitment starts this week and I look like I have been seriously beaten from the knees down. I have to wear shorts too, which is ironic because this entire summer I haven't worn shorts (other than work out shorts)...I am shaking my head right now.

On the way home from VA BEACH- interesting by the way- my leg was burning. I had to seriously clean it when I got home. It hurt very much. So- we got a little turned around today because there was detour around Pollocksville (doesn't the name just give you a little hint where I am going with this). Instead of setting up signs (like a normal responsible fire/safety/police department would they stationed an overweight dancing fireman at a road. We of course, didn't want to stop and ask him...there was no ipod- no music- just rain. WIERD. Finally we drove about 10 miles, turned around, and went back and asked him where we could get back on hwy 17. He says, "I dunno where you comin from but that there highway is that way" and pointed down the road that he was standing in front of. In hindsight, I don't know why it mattered where we were coming from. We get to a stop sign and there are two rectangle signs on top of each other and they both say, "HWY 17" with an arrow pointing in both directions.OKAY. So what now? Good thing my mom could guess and get us to where the other cars where. I was like- what is really going on in Pollocksville. These tax payers must be slightly dissapointed.

I also saw a long rectangular green sign that said "Voice of America" and pointed down a street. As we passed my eyes followed the direction of the sign that it was pointing....I didn't see anything (we were in a small town as well!) ... so then I got to thinking. There are so many signs that I wonder about while driving. Like- what is the "Voice of America" and who's voices is it? And why haven't I ever heard about this before if it's the VOICE OF AMERICA...I am afterall an AMERICAN. Wouldn't it be funny if a bunch of illegal immigrants were employed there? Either way- all I am saying is - said "voice of AMERICA" is false advertising....but I think one day I will make my way down that road...just to see because I am curious.

All right- I think I should go and save some fun facts for tomorrow.

RECRUITMENT STARTS WEDNESDAY- pray for me.
