Make new friends but keep the old

Oh bloggy bloggy blog...I've missed you so! I've just been so busy and I've been neglecting you...I hope you'll forgive me. I'll buy you some chocolate and we'll watch a movie and things will be ok. Promise!

So out of lack of things to say right now I thought I'd actually continue my 30 Days of Truth.

SOMEONE/THING YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT BECAUSE YOU'VE TRIED LIVING WITHOUT THEM/IT:

So I have this friend. Her name is Denise. I kind of love her. Like, a lot. I've known her since we were super little. We used to live three houses down from eachother until I had to move...(sad).

Growing up we did lots of things together. We would hang out after school (sometimes us and her boyfriend at which point they would start making out while I was trying to talk to her, at which point I would trail off into silence...)

We were totally awesome swim team kids! We would smim our little hearts out at the ass-crack of dawn and help heat up the pool water... :) We'd also make up songs about potatoes and sing about breadsticks. YUM! After swim practice we'd read Harry Potter. That was awesome. Oh the good ol' days...

Anyway, we started high school and kind of drifted... We both became consumed by work, school, boys, and new friends. But we always had summer. Not too long after that we started college and then we had a few years apart. I didn't realize just how much I missed her until we reconnected this past spring.

We reconnected under sad times but we totally got through things together. I'm so glad that we talk and see each other on a regular basis. She makes me laugh and smile and feel good about myself. She doesn't make fun of me when I do something/say something completely stupid(because I do that ALL THE TIME). We like to cook together. She even has a cooking blog!

I kind of love her. She's pretty cool. :)

I mean, who else would dress up like this with me?!



We're kind of awesome...



You should be totally jealous about how hot we are!

OH Humanity...

I'm always surprised with myself that I get surprised at the idiocies (idiocracy? idiocracys? who the heck cares?!) of people...People do stupid things and it makes me want to punch them in the face. Grr....

Example 1!

So I work as a lifeguard at a wellness center where I pretty much watch old annoying people bob above the water for 45 minutes. And no I'm not kidding...I think my favorites are the old chubsters in speedos...yum yum! NOT! Anywho...so at work last night an old bald man in a speedo (ick!) asked me to make a double lane in the lap pool when it was flipping busy so he could do his "exercises." (and I air quote that because he literally did sicssor kicks in a giant rectangle for 35 minutes when two ladies in he lane next to him were doing more crap than he was in a SINGLE LANE!) Jerk...

Example 2!

Why do girls (and maybe boys, I don't have access to thier loos at school) write on bathroom stall walls?! Hello people...this is COLLEGE. Why the hell do I need to know that you like penis?! Grow. Up.



Also, there ARE trash cans...you should throw your candy wrappers in there instead of the toilet. I mean, I know they're both called CANS, but they have two very different uses here people...




Example 3!

I was texting my friend Kelly today and we were talking about some random crap. She was driving to school (naughty texter and driver...)and she saw a lovely bumper sticker that said, "Smile, your mommy was pro-life." What. The. Hell. Not everyones mothers were whores in high school and got knocked up at a young age or got drunk at a party and nine months later popped out a screaming sack of joy...




Hmmm...angry post...my bad...

I am alive....

I know I haven't written in two weeks...and yes I know only Denise reads my blog, but that's ok! hahaha! I've been crazy crazy CRAZY busy...but I'm going to start posting again soon because I miss it and I've have A LOT happening that I just feel the need to share. But not right now because I have class in like half an hour and I really should be reading To Kill a Mockingbird and not writing on my blog and surfing stalkerbook (a.k.a.-Facebook). Anywho, I'll be posting this week!

Haberdashery!

P.S.- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 releases this week! I'm literally peeing my pants in excitement! I need a Ravenclaw tie...someone who loves me give me one!

So long, fare well.

From a small age I have been a lover of the water. I should have been born a fish! I always loved The Little Mermaid. I used to pretend to be a mermaid at the pool...I need some gills man...

As I grew older I joined the swim team at my nieghborhood pool and I loved all of it! I've always enjoyed watching meets and seeing what times people get. Soooo excting! :) My favorite events in the Olympics are the swimming. It's so cool to see the other people that love the water and to be totally jealous at their amazing skills. It's something I could never do but totally wish I could!

A hero of mine was one of these swimmers. Everyone knows him. His name, is Michael Phelps. He is an amazing swimmer, but I seriously think it's gone to his head.

Dear Michael Phelps,

I kind of think you have become a douche. I don't know what happened to you... You are such a talented athlete and you have the world at your fingertips. I feel like you have thrown away a lot of opportunities because of your crass actions.

For example, it was very unsportsman-like for you and your fellow swimmates to walk into a foreign country with gas masks over your faces. It isn't funny. It's disrespectful. Have some class.

Also, you are a public figure. Yound kid lok up t you. Why would you do drugs?! You may not care, but little kis are impressionable, and if they think you think it's cool, so will they. Be smart. Use that brain of yours. I know the chlorine hasn't gone to your head.

Love, Ellen

Buuzzz....

Dear Blogging World that doesn't actually read my blog,

Sorry I've been awol for the past ten days. I have had nothing to say. At all. All I've been doing is working and studying and studying and working. Iiiii don't even know what to say because there has been nothing cool EXCEPT that my :)

School has been stressful- two midterms yesterday which kept me at the library Wednesday from 2 p.m.-12:30 a.m. Long. Ass. Day. I am kind of crushing on this guy from two of my classes. But I don't want to talk about it. It'll jinx it.

My car decided to start making a new noise. I had Mick the car guy (that's the nickname Denise and I have for him...) look at it today. It's leaking power steering fluid. Location of leak: unknown. I love you and your quirkiness too, Carlise.

So the baby. His name is Odin Kevin Potter. The name was picked out long ago, so no it was not drug induced...I met him yesterday and he is a little nugget of cuteness. I just fell in love with his little wrinkly nose! He has that most amazing new baby smell- it's better than new car smell. I love that smell. (I am NOT creepy!...ok, maybe a little) I can't wait to just smooch his little face again. AHhhhh! Baby. :)

Here is me and the little guy...



And him and his cuteness...



Don't you love him?! I do!!!
