Online Dating

I should be writing my chemistry abstract right now... but I can't focus. I just keep thinking about this online dating site that I'm a member of. And I'm gonna be completely honest and admit that I have no idea how I became a member... It used to be the Aquarium on Facebook, and now it has become SpeedDate. I guess since I had the aquarium app that means that I wanted this one when it changed over... whatever. I thought hey, what the heck? right? It couldn't hurt any... All I've met so far have been weirdos. And that entire word should be capitalized just to add emphasis for how weird they really are/ creepy. It's speed dating. The site pulls up someone they think you would match with who is also currently online. You have three minutes to IM back and forth or you can choose to leave the date early and you have to give the reason why. Today I was on and I get some guy. Has a decent pic, probably wasn't even what he really looked like. We talked for maybe five sentences, he asks if I have a webcam. I reply no, he says damn and leaves the date. WTF??? Then this other guy wants to chat so we skip the whole three minute thing and start e-mailing. We e-mail back and forth for probably 15 minutes and then he asks if I want to play dirty. I didn't even know what that meant! I had to ask.. embarrassing when you think about. And yes, it is exactly what you think it means. What a jerk! No worries, I told him off. The nerve of the loser.. Jeez. I'm sorry but when did it become appropriate to proposition someone over an e-mail? And after only talking for like 10 minutes?! I'm not saying I want to revert back to Pride and Prejudice times, but come on! At least TRY to get to know me/ pretend to act interested before you hit me up for sex. This is my current opinion on all men. I have yet to meet a decent one who contradicts what I just wrote. Where's a Prince Charming when you really want one?

Rexburg to St. George and everywhere inbetween

I haven't posted in awhile.. mostly cuz I haven't really been in a bloggin mood. But I have a feeling that this is post is going to be quite a doozy.. So here it goes. I am loving my girlies at Tuscany. I don't know what I would do without them and their crazy stories. They keep me sane most days. :) I got to have dinner with Crystal on Monday and I was so excited to see her! She is one of my besties from the summer semester and she was in town visiting. It was so good to catch up on all the gossip (I know, I'm a sinner... LOL) and just hang out. Texas Roadhouse always sets the right mood. We ran errands together and talked and laughed and it felt like she had never left.

Over this last weekend I went on a girls trip with my old roomie from Alaska and SLC, JODIE!!! It was SOOOO good to see her. I haven't seen her since I left last april! Over a year and a half. It's crazy! I forgot how much I love hangin out with her. I have to say that I am so grateful that she was with me cuz I think I would have freaked on one of the other girls if she hadn't been there with me. It was Jodie's friend's friend. Does that make sense? Anywhoo her and I kinda clashed. I think maybe I clash with alot of people... Food for thought I guess. Anways I made a grand discovery while we were driving down. Jode and I were talking about books and how the authors have to be brilliant to come up with the storylines that they do. I confessed to be completely uncreative. And then I had a brilliant thought. I am creative with reality. That is my new motto. So when I start to feel like retard because I can't choreograph a dance, or write a national bestseller, I just say to myself, "Amber, you are creative with reality. You look at things that are going on in today's world and you research and create something new and make it a better place." ( that sounds a little conceited but it's my blog, so really I can get away with it haha) And really, can it get much better than that??? I think not! LOL.

For halloween I was a mad scientist/groupie of the Spice girls. Doesn't sound like a good combo, and you probably didn't know I was the latter of the two unless you saw who I was with. That's right. The girlies were the Spice Girls, and I must confess to be very impressed with their outfits. They pulled it off very well. I helped with the hair. We went to a couple parties, danced, played games and pretty much rocked the night away. Of course at the end of the night we had to watch SpiceWorld.... I'm gonna have to say that that was probably a waste of two hours of my life, but what can ya do?

This post kind worked its way down from the most recent events, but that's because they were freshest in my mind. :) Can't really think of anything else to say... Peace!

Pedestrians.

I think every walking student at BYU-IDHAHo is feeling suicidal today since they keep walking out in front of my car, which is causing me to feel homicidal and making thoughts like running them over with my car go through my head. They are acting as if they would be immune to being hit by a car. They probably think they are going to be protected by God since they are going to a religious school, like some girls think that God will be their birth control since they got married in the temple. The way some people think just astounds me. I really don't know what the kids are thinking when they walk in front of a car, and it's probably not that God will save them. That's just me being cynical... Is that the right word? Anyway I really did meet a girl once who thought that God would be her birth control and only let her get pregnant when the "time is right". I tried my hardest to set her straight and make her realize that biology would take over once she had sex, but I don't think she believed me. She was pretty set in her way of thinking. I walked away after wishing her the best of luck with her 12 kids that were on their way! I don't think she thought that was funny, but then again she wasn't exactly sane so I didn't really care. And now I sound insensitive. Hmmm. Oh well. Peace out


NOTE TO ALL GIRLS: If you don't want to get pregnant then you need to use a form of birth control. It really is common sense. Ok, that's all :)

Deke and The Many faces of Tater

I love my cat. I am one of those people who will probably be a crazy cat lady when I grow old. I'm looking forward to that day. lol. Funny story. I'm lying in bed with deke and a truck pulls in the drive. Of course the dogs are going crazy downstairs, which is pretty much the norm. But then deke starts growling at the truck! He crouches at the end of my bed where he can see out the window and he starts growling just like a dog! It was so freakin cute/ hilarious! He was mimicking the dogs I guess. But then the person opened the truck door and when they slammed it closed the noise scared deke so he ran under the bed. Not much of a guard "dog" but he makes up for it with all his personality and cuteness! Here are some pics

Just hangin out with mom, watching T.V. :) So freakin cute! One of his new favorite past times... Beaner won the fish at the Blackfoot fair.

So Handsome!

And Now the many faces of Tater. I haven't seen her is almost two weeks so she's probably changed ALOT, but these will do for now! :)

XoXo Carol Clark

Today is the one year anniversary of Carol's death. She was Chris's mom. I loved this lady. She was crazy and kookie and she definitely had her bad days, but she was the sweetest person. She was always trying to help out, even if her ways of helping weren't always... normal. I can't believe it has already been a year. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was down there at the fourth of july party, but at the same time it feels like so much has happened since then that it was years ago. Don't you hate that? When time becomes distorted like that? I know I didn't get to become a part of this family, but I loved them. My thoughts are with you guys. xoxoxo

Church. School. Need I say more?

BYU-Idaho is so dysfunctional! I realize that this is my second post of the day, but I have to vent! I went country dancing at the school tonight. Not my favorite thing to do, but I figure I should at least try to socialize. I get off work, head over to the girls' apartment and we just chill for a couple hours before heading over. I get inside, walk up to the table to get the stamp on my hand, and then I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn to see some over-enthusiatic girl smiling at me. She kindly informs me that I can't enter because I have holes in my jeans. It's the new fashion and you can't even see any skin! I didn't get stopped because of my mulitple piercings, but because my jeans were breaking the honor code. I wear these jeans to class all the time and I have never been asked to leave and change. Only when I try and go to some extracurricular activity do I get accused of breaking the stupid code. She said I would have to go home and change my pants before I could come back. I so did not want to drive back to Rigby just to put on a different pair of jeans. Come on! I walked out to my car, completely pissed off and realize that all my books, wallet, phone, etc are locked in the girls' apartment and they were inside dancing. SOO I suck it up and drive home. I get changed and head back to rexburg. I tried singing in the car to make myself in a better mood. It wasn't until I found the song "I'm a bitch" by Alanis Morsette (sp?) that I finally started to calm down. I get back and the girl has the audacity to come up to me and say "Thank you, that was so nice of you to go home and change." Needless to say I just glared at her. If I had opened my mouth to give a reply she probably would have kicked me out of breaking the honor code with my language. If this school didn't have such a bomb zoology program/cheap tuition I would flip them the bird as I walked out. This school seriously tries my patience. It'll be a miracle if I graduate before they kick me out for insubordination or something equally ridiculous, like my multiple parking tickets. Don't even get me started on that subject. No worries, I wrote them an e-mail to let them know how I felt about this mandatory parking class they wanted me to take. PPLEEAASSE...Like that's ever gonna happen.

Alright, I've vented. Peace out :)

ZoOLOgY= Love of my life!

I'm totally in love with my major! I mean I know that's how it should be, but I always thought that it would be less exciting than it actually is.. weird, right? Who wants to major in something boring? Not me! Luckily it has turned out to be the best thing ever. I always knew that I loved animals and that I would fall into some profession that involved animals and now I finally know which profession that is. I want to do zoology. I don't care if I'm studying the animals in a zoo or in their natural habitat. As long as I get to interact with them and learn something new every day than it's all good! I want to be outside, not trapped in some building gaggin on the smell of antiseptic and constantly listening to dogs howling in the background. Besides dogs aren't really my thing. Some day (hopefully soon) I want to be working with all my beloved marine animals. That's right, my research is going to SAVE THE WHALES! Not sure how exactly, but I'll work the details out later. LOL. I get excited just thinking about being out on the water and studying them; learning all their habits and getting to see their personalities. I've fairly positive that when I land my dream job with some research group that takes me all over the world studying the different marine mammals in all their habitats, it will be the BeSt dAy of my LIFE. I'm bouncing up and down in my chair and feeling ridiculously giddy just thinking about it! Free Willy here I come!!!

P.S. These are the most beautiful creatures ever. Someday...
