Nummy

is not a word.  And if it is, it shouldn’t be.  Why can’t you just say “yummy” or I’ll even accept “yum-o” even though I dislike Rachel Rae or Ray or whogivesashit.  Maybe because I can’t stand baby talk every since the Ren Fest incident of ‘09.  JUST SAY YUMMY! Actually, just don’t say it at all.  Strike it from your vocabulary.

This weekend was kind of a bummer in the fact that I wanted to see two of my favorite people but was hindered by the mountain of snow that was dumped upon Tyler’s car.  And what is with everyone bitching about snow?  Do they realize they live in Ohio, where the winters of cold AND snowy? Go somewhere else if you don’t like snow. I actually think it was beautiful and it’s tons of fun to play in. No that I played in it.  I would have if I wasn’t so lazy all day Saturday.  Then Sunday we went to MicroCenter up in Columbus.  JC even came with us.  It was fun.  We finally gave him his Christmas present.  Only a month or so late.  I’m sure it was better to get it now because presents aren’t in an abundance in February.  Except for me! It’s my birthday this month! WOOOOOH! (This is fake enthusiasm)…(except for the presents part.)

I even got to go to Half Price Books again.  What made my weekend complete was just hanging out with Tyler NOT watching the superbowl.  Oh, and finding out that they make blueberry donut sticks.

“Birds can fly so high…

and they can shit on your head”

Best lyrics ever?  Maybe.

My Life as Maggie…

…wouldn’t be as good as My Life as Liz.  There is this show called My Life as Liz.  I love it.  So should you.  Last night I watched it and I was amazed at how awesome she could sing.  I’m obsessed with that song now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ehSNgzgNbc

So, today hasn’t been too horrible for being one of my long days.  I’ve done some power walking back and forth between buildings and it wasn’t something I wanted to do.  Sometimes I wish OUL was just all in one building.  It’s the cold and the wind that gets me when I walk to and fro.  I’m even getting dry skin (GASP).  I’ve also investigated my birthday party stuff.  It’s top secret.  Well, at least until you get an invite.  I think I’m going to even try to make my own cake.  I want a layered one, like the ones they make on Ace of Cakes.  Only sans the fondant.  Molly’s going away party taught me that fondant isn’t as good as icing.  I was going to make Tyler plan me a party but it’s no fun when you have to tell someone to plan you a party.  I’m always the one throwing parties, so I’ll just plan my own.

I’ve actually been stumped on my Statistics homework for the past two days.  It’s so frustrating.  I can’t figure it out. I would put it off longer but it’s due tomorrow. Ick.  Another icky thing is that I have to be here til 11 and then come back in at 8.  I miss my bed, with my soft pillow and my warm blankets.

I finished all my Valentine’s.  I didn’t really “make” them.  Not with like glue and glitter although I did buy glitter glue.  I was going to make all hand-made valentines but jeesh, I tried making one and it took me at least an hour and I wasn’t even all the way done.  I gave up on that.  But don’t you worry, Valentine’s will be coming soon.

I have two midterms next week.  I only need 89 more credits to graduate.  That’s a lot.  I need to take at least 20 credit hours next quarter.  I have to take math and English.  Tyler get’s to schedule before me.  He sucks.  School is going alright, I’m just not where I thought I would be by this quarter.  It’s frustrating.  It’s frustrating to question your major when you’ve made it this far.  I want to teach math.  Science shouldn’t have to enter the equation.  Science sucks.  So does English.  So does Statistics…wait, that’s math.  Well it still sucks.  I’m actually even liking GEOMETRY! Whoa! Did I just say that?  I guess I did.  Maybe it’s my “thing”.  Who knows.  Shapes can be fascinating once you get away from theorems.

I lent my teacher my pink highlighter.  Does this mean we’re dating now?  Like in the teacher and her teacher’s pet kind of way?  I wasn’t even going to give up my highlighter at first but she asked and NO ONE offered.  It was like a one minute stare down where everyone had their highlighters on their desk, yet everyone refused to give them up.  She even returned it to me at the end and said, “Thanks for lending me this highlighter pen Maggie.”

I’m not making this up.  She said “lending” like she wanted me to lend her more stuff in the future.  I don’t know.  I have to think about this before I rush into this relationship.  And who calls a highlighter a highlighter “pen”? I thought it was a marker.

As Mrs. Brown put it…

GarTyler

I miss…

-Chinese feasts at Chengs

-Ninja chopsticks

-kitties that go “Meow”

-Beach water that Molly peed in

-Family dinner nights

-Lost Boys movie nights

-Christmas ties that sing

-Russian hats

-Late night Operacion Repo

-Mayhaps

-Patches

-Molly’s pool that doesn’t exist anymore

-The smell of polyurethane

-Cheap champagne and poppers

-the tambourine

-lying on the ground, pretending to be a snake

I miss these things and I’m pretty sure that I’ll just keep missing them.  But most of all, I miss the sound of Colleen’s laugh, Molly’s non-existent smile, Ashley’s obsession with all things sexual, David’s tutelage in the art of Mafia Wars, Jamie’s obnoxiously funny loudness, Amelia’s dancing, JC’s sarcasm, Brady’s emails, and Tyler’s hugs.

I really don’t care…

But I really do. I don’t mind not being able to sit in the operators chair when it’s actually my shift.  Honestly (NOT). It irks me.  It’s my shift, let me sit in the chair! Okay, enough complaining.  I was told that I think the world is against me.  That’s really not what I think.  I guess I’m just one of the few people who actually complain when they feel irritated.  I guess that bugs me also.

College is so anti-climatic.  I feel like I should be learning new and exciting things but really, I’m just re-learning old things.  Maybe that’s a sign of my genius-ness.  Yes, we’ll pretend that I already know everything.  Well you can pretend, I’ll just actually be doing it.

Valentine’s day is so close.  I made some sweet valentines.  Not really homemade but made with love.  Let’s put it that way.

My weekend was actually kind of nice.  You know that game party I was dreading?  Not too bad.  Sometime’s I feel very old when I hang out with new people.  I don’t laugh at some of their jokes and I can’t seem to understand how you would rather text and play with your Ipod than actually interact with real humans.  I don’t get it.  In fact, it bugs me also.  Yes, yes, I get it:  they are not purposely bringing their phone out to bug me personally.  It just bugs me.  I also noticed how different my friends are to other people.  When I play games with people like the Browns, there is never a lull in the conversation or even a quiet moment.  We have fun! But I noticed a lot of it was just sitting around, trying to figure out the game.  I’m too old to change my ways.

I even had a free Sunday.  It was soooooooo nice.  You have no idea.  I feel like I never get a day just to sit at the house and reflect upon my awesomeness.  But Sunday I had it.  If you have a free Sunday any time soon, you should just sit there and think about how awesome I am.  It may take a while.

Last night, before bed, I went to the restroom.  After that, I walk into the room and Tyler is hiding behind the door on my pile of clothes like a damn gargoyle and he hissed at me.  I swear I almost peed again.  I even got a picture of him perched in the corner.  It was hilarious.  I had even brushed my teeth and stuff, so he had to have been waiting there for a couple of minutes.  That’s commitment right there.

Can you believe she said that?

Yes, I can.

I’ve had a lot of time on my hands today and I’ve done a lot with that time.  I actually completed not one, but two sets of homework! I’m amazed how driven I was today.  It’s weird because Wednesdays are usually my worst days of the week but tonight I get to leave at 8.  The class I monitor only meets up 3 weeks and then gets a week break.  I’m missing out on hours but I don’t care at this point.  Any time I get the option of going home early, I’m going to take it.

Did you know I can type 60 wpm?  Well, I can.  One time I even got up to 90 wpm.  But maybe that was just a fluke.  Either way, these fingers are magical.  Like Harry Potter magical.  So magical in fact, that I’m waiting on my acceptance letter from Hogwarts.

I’ve been uncomfortably thirsty all day.  I’ve drank a lot too but for some reason, my throat feels really dry.  I had my math test today. I have to say, I’m a genius.  I’m magical and a genius.  No wonder I’m royalty.  If I wasn’t, then who would be?  Right? Right.

Saturday I’m going to a “game” night.  I’m expected to socialize.  It won’t be so bad.  Tyler is even bribing me with a trip to Half Price Books before that.  Some guy we work with is throwing it.  I do love games, so hopefully it will be fun.  It’s also made me realize how little friends I have.  I haven’t hung out with anyone besides JC in a little over two weeks and even with JC, that was a while ago.  I guess I’ve kind of retreated into school and…well basically school. It has been a busy two weeks.  I’ve even gotten holes in my Vans slip-ons from how much I’ve been doing.  I swear, they were in decent condition before school started and now they are falling apart.  I think it’s from all the salt that they lay down.  And because I’m a machine.  More probably because I’m a machine.  I power walk between buildings at least 3 times a day.  It’s crazy.  Okay, I don’t actually power walk.  That was a lie.  I just non-leisurely stroll back and forth.  Non-leisurely?  I’m a dork.

I’m going to make my mom buy me some new “kicks” this weekend.  Maybe more slip-ons because I hate work and tying your shoes is a constant headache. Who wants to bend down and tie two strings together? Not me obviously.

I’ve also been working on Valentine’s Day projects. Oh, this year is going to be the year of amazing Valentine’s.  Maybe I need to tone down the awesomeness.  I don’t want everyone to get all worked up.  I also gave Tyler an idea for a valentine he could make.  I told him to get naked and put a heart shaped pillow down you-know-where and then lie down on the bed with a come-hither look.  He laughed but I don’t think he’s for it.  That would be one awesome Valentine card to get, wouldn’t it?  Yes, it would.

Untitled because I can’t think of a title

So far, today has been tolerable.  I think maybe because I had such a great weekend. Maybe that’s why.  The only thing marring my otherwise okay day was that the post office was closed for lunch when I went.  I actually found my other math book.  In the one and only spot I didn’t look because I thought the box was full of my old romance novels.  Well, I was wrong.  It was sitting there, all nestled and pretty-like.  I’m not even angry.  I put it there. I feel a little stupid.  But I sold it for 85 dollars; about 65% of what I paid for a new one.  But that’s okay.  I can deal with it.  But I was supposed to have it shipped out by today but that’s not going to happen.  I’m a busy person.  My time is valuable. I don’t have time to go back to the post office.  At least not until tomorrow.

Saturday was my three year anniversary.  It’s been three years since Tyler asked me, “So, you want to make this official.”  We went out to Easton.  I made him go see Leap Year, which was a very cute movie.  *Sigh*  We also went to Build a Bear.  We waited in line for 30 minutes just to make a bear but in the end it was worth it.  The lady let us put two hearts in our bear since it was our anniversary and that made my day.  I named him Tiddy; you know, from those commercials?  Well, his name is Tiddy and I made him look like Harry Potter.  He’s quite dashing.

This was before he was stuffed and madeover

I also got a ring!!!!!! No, not an engagement ring but a ring nonetheless.  It’s a real emerald and has two little diamonds on the sides.  It’s so pretty.  I never really thought of myself as a jewelry type of person but I love this ring.  Maybe because it symbolizes so much more than just an emerald set in some gold.  It symbolizes three years of togetherness and love and happiness and all that mushy stuff that makes you go “Aww.”  I find myself looking at it all the time and just smiling.  I have scraped myself a few times because I forget that I have it on but that’s okay.  If I have to deal with some scrapes, I can deal just fine.  I got Tyler Wii Sports Resort.  Fair trade I think.

I heart math

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I hate geometry.  I HATE IT! Why does it even exist?  When is an eighth grader ever going to need to know if two angles are congruent? Never, that’s when.  I like my teacher but I hate the subject.  We had to get into pairs today.  I always get a mini panic attack whenever this happens.  Luckily I got stuck with this really nice girl.  But we didn’t even get done with our worksheet because I’m such a moron.  I just couldn’t grasp it.  I even pay attention in class.  Ugh.  I love algebra though. LOVE IT!  Why can’t I just do algebra all four years of college?  That would make me a much better teacher in the long run.

I have to pee.

I just bought a coke.

This isn’t going to help the pee situation.

Yesterday, I didn’t come to school.  I wasn’t feeling good.  I basically had a five day weekend.  It was nice.  I played on my DS all day yesterday.  I’m super good at Super Mario.  It should just be called Super Maggie because I’m so damn fantastic at it.  In fact, while they’re at it, they might as well make little action figures of me also.  I am pretty in demand.

Oh, it is love…

He does this to make me happy
