Thank You......I Guess.....

-
The other day I started talking to the new guy at Kung-Fu. We both stretched while we talked, and the subject matter was all over the place. In the middle of our conversation he told me about his siblings and then he asked about mine. I told him their names, and went down their ages. Then he asked," So who is the oldest?" When I told him that I was, his eyes got really big and he asked again," You're the oldest?! Oh, well you look like it." I'm pretty sure I looked confused for a few seconds, and then I said," Thank you.....I think." And that was were the conversation ended for that day.

The next day he sat next to me doing form practice. He smiled and said," You're Norma, right?" "What????!!!!!" I said internally, and laughed on the outside. I just couldn't believe that he thought my name was Norma!!! Norma? Seriously?!!!! That's just crazy! It doesn't
t even sound like my name!!! Plus I've always said that Norma sounds like an old lady name, don't you agree? (Please pardon me if you happen to be named Norma!)

Anyway, in my rushed to correct him I said," No!!! My name is Laura!!!" (Which is totally not my name! It is kind of a mix between "Norma" and my real name though....) I smacked my forehead, and whispered urgently,"Wait, no!!! My name's not Laura either!!! Oh gosh, I just told you the wrong name." The poor guy just sat there looking at me while I laughed at my stupidity.

I think he might be a little worried about my mental health now. He'll probably think that I have triple personality!!! I'm Sunbum, Laura, and Norma all in one, and each one is crazier then the next.....

    Ha ha. I hope you didn't really forget your name... :) One time I met someone at the beginning of school, told him my name was Barbara, then said I was kidding, but throughout the rest of the 3 years of school he called me "Barb" (joking around). He never actually remembered my real name, ha ha

    Hee hee! :D

    I always thought it would be fun if my first name was Abby and my middle name was Normal. Then I could say, "Hello! My name is Abby...Abby Normal!" (Ya know, as in abnormal?)

    Uhhh...maybe that's just funny to ME?

SPRING BREAK!!!!

Words cannot express how much love I feel for Spring Break right now. This picture pretty much sums up how I felt when I got out of school last Friday! It has been a crazy busy semester, so this week without having to worry about assignments and projects has been absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, it's now Thursday and it is almost time to dive back into reality! :( Alright so here are five things that I love at the moment: 1. Sherlock Holmes on BBC!! Even when I am super busy I make time to watch this show! :) It has hilarious dialogue, plus it doesn't hurt that Sherlock is super cute! And the best part of this show is that the next episode for season two is going to air on my birthday!!!! To say that I am excited is a complete understatement! 2. Popcorn! The popcorn my mom buys hardly has any calories, it is delicious, and pretty much my favorite food at the moment! 3. The Clockwork Prince! I bought this book the week after it came out, and I fell in love with it. I

New York Story: NYC's Version of The Little Mermaid

New York City in the summer is Satan's literal anus. It smells bad and it's hot as hell. In an effort to help people in the city cool down, the fire department opens up the fire hydrants. Many people use the open water as a splash pad or a car wash. I preferred to close the curtains and lay in front of a fan for hours at a time. But to each their own, right? I lived down the street from the 1 Train at 135th and used that train almost exclusively to get to Amelia and Dillon's house. The 1 train was more reliable than the life ruining M11 bus, even though I liked taking the bus to the West Side way more. Anyway, since I practically lived on their couch on the weekend, the trip from Hamilton Heights to the West Side was familiar.  On this particular occasion, I had dinner plans with Amelia and Dillon and I was already running behind. I decided to walk on the right side of the street so I could pick up dessert at the grocery store before getting on the train. For reference, I N

Thanksgiving Day One!!

Okay, so I have never blogged from my phone before, so this will be interesting! Winter I my favorite time of the year. I love the cold weather, the clothes, the Christmas romantic comedies, and especially the general attitude. I love having an attitude of gratitude. And it seems like during the holiday season other people adopt that point of view as well. One of the most rewarding feelings is when you bring a light into someone's life, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays gives opportunities to do that. For the next five days I will be posting the things I am thankful for!! 5) Over the summer, I decided that I wanted to do a big project for personal progress. I decided on making baby hats for premature babies. Unfortunately, however, I am not crafty, I don't know how to knit, and I fail miserably at every artsy endeavor I have tried. Despite all the things that could go wrong, I bought hat knitting looms. It took a couple of days for me to finally learn how to do
