Brain Training Fail.

Who remembers...

when I got hired with that tutoring/cognitive brain training company back in MARCH?! and I thought I would actually have a job from that? I hardly remember it so I don’t expect anyone else to.

Anyways, I hate them. I spent countless hours training and testing. Waste of time and money and then they had no students to assign to me and you don’t get reimbursed for your training until you train your first student.

THREE MONTHS after I trained with them, I get an email saying they have a student to give me starting middle of August. The thing that pisses me off the most about this is not the time I waited, but the fact that I know they have given multiple students to other people that I finished training with.

My response?

“Thanks for letting me know, however I will not be able to accept any students due to the fact that I have a job now.”

Sincerely,

a real teacher.

ok that last part I didn’t include.

BRAIN TRAIN THAT, suckaaaaas.

Harry Potter.

My hilarious friends thought it would be hilarious to have me come to the midnight premiere of the last Harry Potter movie.

I have never cared about Harry Potter…just seemed like too much work to catch up. I also wasn’t allowed to watch them when they first came out.

Well TODAY I watched the first movie and the last one before the midnight showing. That is all I had time for and I thought it was the wisest choice. I was extremely confused after the last one. Everything actually helped me though, because I understood 90% of the final movie. AND IT WAS AWESOME. I can’t wait to watch the rest now. I loved cheering and clapping as huge moments happened in the movie.

My friends got a kick out of my limited knowledge though:

“Deb, do you even have a favorite character?”

“Yes! ….dumby?”

“It’s Dobby, Deb…not Dumbledore and Dobby or Dumbo and Gumby.”

—————————————————————————————————

:Taking quiz to find out which Harry Potter character I am:

“okay Deb, you are either going to be Ron or Harry”

“Who’s Harry?!” (in my defense, I was used to everyone saying his full name, and there were so many character’s names being thrown around that I wasn’t expecting THE MAIN one).

SO YEAH. Harry Potter marathon party is in my future.

Playing Catch Up.

I have been posting on Tumblr but not here. Whoops. Time to play catch up. Please refer to the last 7 posts haha. Or just get a Tumblr and be ahead of the game. :)

Sick of being a girl.

WHY DO I HAVE TO HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS? The worst thought is, what if I am making all of this up? Am I crazy?

Unfortunately, I probably am.

Boys, this is YOUR fault. Stop having these one on one relationships with girls without making intentions clear. We're programmed to analyze and overanalyze. 

I Hate New Phones.

Those of you that know me, know how loyal I am to my ancient, solid orange EnV phone, or as my funny friend Lindsey prefers: the Orange iBrick. There are many reasons, but I just love my phone because it has never failed me. It is a solid piece of technology that you can’t get anymore. I also hate change and love being familiar with things I use a lot, so there’s that. Also, there is just something I love about having an orange phone. It just feels right.

BUT, recently I had to take advantage of my renewal, as I hadn’t renewed since 2007. Verizon is doing away with the optional internet data plans and is enforcing a $30 a month, LIMITED usage plan. This can be avoided by getting a different plan before they enforce that, which is what I had to do.

I am picky about phones. I like mine because of the buttons on the front and how they allow me to text super fast. I don’t even use the qwerty keyboard. I also hate touch screens, but I have got to get over that. I wanted a phone with wifi, good camera abilities, good video abilities, and if it HAD to have a touch screen, I had to have the qwerty keyboard. I decided on the Windows Kin 2, because it’s like the only phone that had these options without FORCING you to get the $30 internet plan. IT HAS AN 8 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA AND SHOOTS HD VIDEO. Also, all I had to pay to get this phone was the tax. Awesome.

I also took advantage of a promotion right now that Verizon was having. Instead of $10 a month for 25mb of internet use, they were offering 75mb, mobile email, and the Verizon GPS Navigator…for TEN DOLLARS A MONTH. I said to heck with all of it, and took advantage of that deal. Because if I hate the phone, I can always return to my faithful friend, the orange iBrick.

they fought.

Last day at home.

-Breakfast at Panera (my fav) where I got upset that my cashier didn’t swipe my MyPanera card to give me my points. I am serious about those points, lady.

-Orthodontist said I have a beautiful bite and treated me like a 4 year old. Standard.

-Dentist told me about her eye doctor in Beverly Hills who has signed pictures of celebrity patients on the wall and name dropped Kelly Clarkson. I started making a lot of noises to communicate, as her hands were in my mouth, and then proceeded to explain that Kelly was my favorite singer (I tried to play it cool). The dentist then asked if I was dating anyone, and I did not appreciate that.

-I went to the ear/nose/throat doctor for my sinuses and the nurse commented on my horrendous, sunburned thighs. SO glad people are noticing those.

-I packed up my things and Bry accompanied me on my drive back. I dropped her off at LAX and then sang along to The Civil Wars the rest of the way. Now I am in my bed, listening to the weirdest cat ever moan and cry outside my window. HATE CATS.

Ashley.

Ashley is one of my best friends. She is one of my OLDEST friends, as we met at church in 6th grade and were inseparable since then. Our friendship has actually gotten stronger over the years, even though I moved away after high school. I don’t know anyone who can laugh like we do. Today was awesome. We went swimming and then to Applebee’s happy hour (super classy, I know).

So I got stung by a wasp and the self timer LITERALLY caught my reaction seconds after. That is a real event there, folks.

aaaaaand…I am so glad we do not look like this anymore:

Good friends never disappear.

Ashley, Sam, and Deb.
