So this post is rather pointless, but I can't help it.


I was driving tonight and out of the corner of my eye, this beautiful car caught my attention. So of course I had to loop back around and snap some pictures because I aspire to be this awesome one day!








SWEET!!

Adventures of the Self Important

A typical weekend means I usually have to visit either the grocery store or the oh so popular Wal-Mart. And this weekend it ended up being Wal-Mart twice! First time, grocery shopping. Second time this morning I forgot something from the previous trip.


I assume everyone knows there is a pedestrian walking area in front of the front doors of any local store and as a rule following driver you are suppose to yield to them. I guess my assumptions think to highly of people, especially those that think their time is the only precious thing on Earth and are too self important to actually obey such silly rules ;)


So as I'm pulling up the pedestrian area and yielding to the mother holding the hand of what I'm assuming to be a 2 to 3yr old child as they proceed to cross...the Edmonite (basically a great term used to describe those who live in Edmond that have more money than they really know what to do with and so they spend their days in plastic surgery offices and at the gym while their husbands work their butts off to provide such a lifestyle) in a Mercedes CLS behind me apparently thought I was just stopping to waste their precious little time. Little did they know I was actually stopping to prevent vehicular manslaughter, as they try to fly around me and then they screech on the breaks when they realize they came about 3 feet from hitting a child and the mom grabbing her girl up in her arms and everyone watching them and me waving at them like "Hi you...yes you....the one that is now looking like an idiot" Needless to say the Mercedes then followed suite and got behind me to find a parking spot. 


Something my parents taught me is if you are in that big of a hurry you should have left the house sooner.


So Ms/Mrs Mercedes I sure hope you almost hitting a human with your car woke you up to realize the world isn't in that big of a rush and you getting to a parking spot 1 minute later isn't going to make up for lost time. 


I swear the nicer the vehicle the worse the driver it seems. Side note: I also sat behind a truck too busy texting to actually make a right hand turn when there wasn't even anyone on the road then when I honked after waiting a while thinking he might pull his head out of his ummm yeah....he flipped me off then finally drove-CLASSY! I can't wait for texting while driving to be illegal in Oklahoma.


I don't condone videotaping and driving either but this is a pretty awesome video illustrating my point:

A Tall Order

Reason for this post is I had three people do this to me today!

I don't think a week goes by where I can go out in public without someone making some comment about my height-some comments or stares do make me feel very self conscious and others make me very proud to be tall.  With that being said my height varies depending what convenience store I'm leaving but all and all I'm usually around the 5'11 mark.

Unfortunately, the avg American female height is 5'4 and the avg American male height is 5'9-so makes for a rather interesting dating life to even try to find someone that 1. is taller and 2. enjoys the company of a taller girls. From what I can gather men like to feel like the protector and its hard to do when a girl is eye to eye with him. So here goes a list of Pro's and Con's on height.

Pros:

1. Hides weight easily

2. Get noticed sometimes for the right reasons-such as easier to spot in a crowd. Hard to get lost. Get noticed by guys before other shorter girls (well unless they are all skanked up in hoochie wear)

3. Forces you to be more confident

4. According to studies, the taller the person is the more likely they get paid for (currently so not the case!)

5. Heels aren't necessary to have achieve the look of mile long legs

6. Not much I can't reach so no need to ask someone to get something off the top shelf

Cons:

1. Shopping!!! I have to buy jeans/pants, shirts (if I want the shoulders to hit right), long sleeve shirts (because with being tall I also have long arms), and jackets online to get the right height which means not only do I get to pay more I also get to pay for shipping! But also they don't make cute clothes for tall girls. 

2. The gawking. I can be in a store and I'll hear "Oh wow check out how tall she is" or the occasional person asking if I can get something off the top shelf for them because I'm the tallest around just so they can ask me to put it back and grab the other one as if I work there. 

3. Constantly hearing "WOW you are tall!" ...I get it...I really do. You are not the first person to come to the conclusion and point it out to me as if I just grew a third arm. 

4. As cute as heels are, my confidence isn't that amazing to be rocking heels all the time and strolling around at 6'2 and making people scared I'm Godzilla and here to eat and attack their village.

5. Dating: It is truly hard because guys want a little girl to help stroke his ego to make him feel macho and that he can protect-I get it and its understandable because I want to feel small when dating someone. Got to love social norms. With that being said I have dated shorter, and here are a funny examples of why I try not to.  Lets call him Mitch, he grabbed a crate and I do mean a foot tall crate from the back of his work and stood on it to kiss me bye....talk about mood killer! Needless to say we didn't date much longer after that.

In short, there are some hang ups being tall but at the end of the day I'm totally worth looking up to and worth the climb to get to know!

Debit Card and Stripper Dust

So yesterday was definitely a case of the Mondays!


Let's start off with the fact I got new Victoria Secret panties....its all downhill from here. As a girl, if its sparkly odds are I'm naturally attracted to it so to find panties with glitter that were cute and not buy them? I think not!So I bought them :) 


So these wonderful little panties are great in concept bad in design. Needless to say glitter was EVERYWHERE and I mean everywhere. It looked like I got a lapdance from PJ Sparkles. Needless to say this must be what it is like to be Vajazzeled. A trend I will never understand and truly hope doesn't ever catch on.


Next, I lose my debit card. Anyone that knows me knows I can't keep track of any kind of card. Last week it was my license for the 40th time this year and this week its the debit card so freaking out I go through my car and apartment like a mad woman looking for this thing. (Side note: Cards should come with a noise alert for when you lose them you can set them off to hunt them down) The debit card is no where and I mean no where so I call up my bank call my card in as lost, they were nice about it said I'll have a new card in 7 days. 


So an hour passes, I sit down to actually create this blog and I'm thinking my jeans are hitting me funny so I go to readjust the top of them and its hard. I move my shirt that has an elastic band at the bottom and out drops my Debit card!!! It has snuck out of my pocket and into my shirt. I didn't think about checking the shirt I was wearing for my debit card. 


All I can say is:

Oklahoma Girl

My personal reasons as to why to blog:

1. My sanity.

Sometimes it feels like there is really no one to talk to so why not just write it down to get it out of the system.

2. My dating (or lack there of) life.

Everyone knows that Oklahoma is the land of the married, seems everyone is married by age 24 or at the very least in a very very serious relationship. As for me I haven't been so fortunate which is why I wish John Hughes directed my life. Dating for me has been a complete train wreck and as much as I enjoy dating it would be nice to have what others have but I honestly don't know if it will ever happen for me. So this allows me to see the funny/fun side of meeting new people and the adventures that occur.

"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life.."

 3. Back to School to Prove to Dad I'm not a Fool!


I already graduated from college with a rather useless degree but of course the advisers don't warn you of this when you select your major. So my Biology degree is virtually just an expensive piece of paper in a pretty frame unless I get my doctorate.  So between this and the economy in its current state, I've decided to enroll this Fall semester for an Accounting degree.


4. Personal Goals.


Let's face it is so easy to say you have a goal and then just forget about it because only yourself is holding you accountable. Well by putting goals into the blog I have to back them up otherwise not only am I lying to myself but I'm also lying to others.
