Is this real life?!

So, I've been known to do some pretty forgetful things. For example.. the time I was about 14 years old and I forgot my sneakers and realized when I was half way to NYC. Then I had to tell my parents who were arguing about who knows what at the time. It was rough... So I proceeded to walk barefoot to the first shoe store in NY and got the ugliest sneakers ever.
Then there was the time I forgot a jacket while going to NY... again I had to buy one there.

So after preparing for weeks, I finally had my 10 mile race the other weekend in Quakertown. I was pretty stressed out about it, but looking forward to doing it. So it was the morning of the race and I'm getting ready when I realize.. I have two different sneakers packed. First thought.. REALLY? AGAIN? absolutely ridiculous!! Could I wear them and make it work? Thank goodness they were a right and a left shoe!!
So there you have it.. I was the weirdo running with two different shoes... and a bulky knee brace.. that's a professional runner! ha

Overall the race went well and I managed completing it successfully! Plus, I didn't even fall, which I've sadly done too many times.. Hopefully this isn't a reoccurring event.. more to come..

Happy Almost St. Patty's Day!

Almost spring break!

So here I am, avoiding doing my paper.. but I over studied last night so I deserve a break... right?

So I'm strangely looking forward to going to the Flower Show this Friday. I used to go every year with my family and now I sort of miss it. It's a Italian scene this year so that should be exciting as well.
kinda cute right? Well I've also recently tried to keep real plants in my room... it seems to be going down hill though
So i'll have to get some new plants at the flower show that I don't kill.. (Note: I have the nice rose facing out)

Anyways, to continue putting off starting my paper I'll be going to a run on Kelly Drive. Maybe I'll get some missed connections..

Now I just found out what these missed connections are. You find them on craigslist and it has postings from people who believe they had a "moment" with you. I guess if you feel you have had a moment wtih someone you either have to post about it or look for someone who posted about you. Sounds kind of ridiculous to me but apparently it has worked before. Here is what one looks like:

Saw you tonight, and around all the time - m4w - 26 (U_City)

Ever since we were in that class that we both dropped, I see you all over. I saw you tonight in the middle of the street which was pretty unexpected. Basically, I will make it my mission in life to say hello the next time I see you. I try, but kind of freeze up in your presence.

Social media is starting to freak me out...

Okay, so. I have decided that this whole social media phenomena is starting to get a little ridiculous. I mean I love it, its great for networking and keeping in touch with friends but when I can sit through a whole conversation at lunch and already know the story via twitter, facebook and blogs... I start to get concerned.

Maybe I need to do my work or update my resume/cover letter instead of sitting in the tech center knowing whats going on in all of my friends lives... and strangers lives, I should add. I guess there is no turning back now since I am addicted, but it still can get a little weird. We are trying to keep this fairly anonymous so we have something to talk to our friends about on the phone...

Another thing this new social media has been altering is dating... I mean, I have been asked out twice via facebook message. At first I thought it was weird, well I still do kinda. But I am learning to accept it because if you think about it, its not that strange. Most college kids spend A LOT of time on FB and we are all on it all the time. Its part of our way of life, its part of our culture now. So why wouldn't we integrate it into our love lives? Its not anonymous but you do not have to deal with the nerv-racking, talking to someone in person/phone, which is a cop out anyway but it seems to be more and more accepted.

Just something I have been thinking about lately... while procrastinating and not writing my cover letter and sending out my resume...
