Current Favorites
I'm a bit of a music fanatic. I think I listen to my iTunes more than I sit down and watch TV. With that being said, Sara and I often enjoy making "BB and Sara White Trash Mixes" because let's face it -- We're the white trash of Bowling Green and we love our songs!

I just got off work and since it's a beautiful day today I think I'll grab a good book and go outside and read. It's rare that I can get the opportunity to grab a James Patterson book and sit down and get in a good read. I started one of his newer books, "CROSS" before Spring Break and I just haven't been able to finish it. I love James Patterson and his character, Alex Cross, and I'm determined to finish this book before the end of April, if not sooner! I actually just finished a book that my mum got me a while back called "The Complete Slayer" which was an unofficial guide to every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That show was my all time favorite and over the years I've collected random books and all the seasons. The book I finished, though, was huge and I tried to read at least one or two blurbs on the episodes everyday. I love random fact books, now I feel so much smarter in random pop culture trivia.
Sara is coming over at 3:30 and her and I are going to run to the bank and hang out for the rest of this fantastic Friday. I'm pretty excited that tonight is power hour over at Quarters, it's always a blasty blast. A couple of my work friends said they were going to stop by so I know that tonight will only get better. One of my roommates for next year, JB, said that they were having people over tonight so Sara and I will probably stop by over there if we don't go to the D.Chi party since it's right down the street for Quarters. I miss partying with those boys, so I'll probably make my way over to the Delta Chi shindig.
I feel the urge to read.

So Glamorous
It's been decided -- It's definitely going to be Tim. Last night I skipped out on heading to the bars with Liz and Sara after work and Tim and I went back to his place and watched Fargo. However, my seemingly low-key night got really interesting when there was some domestic violence straight out of cops going on next door. I was pretty shaken up about it all, but Tim and I saw the police handle some crazy shit outside. How is it that a human can hurt another person? Especially someone they are "in love" with? Just doesn't make any sense to me...
I work today 9-2 and then it's off to a couple classes, errands with Sara, and then nap (hopefully). Tonight is power hour at Quarters and it's becoming a tradition for Sara, Liz, and I to have a ladies night and treat ourselves to a couple cheap beers and cheap shots. Should be a fun night.... Tim said he was going to meet up with us later after he is done looking after his nieces and nephews, so we'll see what happens. I have to work tomorrow morning, so nothing too out of control.
I'm actually really excited I met Tim. I'm having all those feelings you get when you first start dating a person... Excited to see him when we make plans, butterflies, the whole nine yards. We had a lot of good conversation last night so I know I'm making the right decision. He's a good and solid guy. Yay for this girl finally finding a good one.

Oh Snap!
I have to choose between two men and I have to do it this week; by Saturday at the latest.
I have Mike -- He's a great guy, but I feel as though he is a little immature for me and he doesn't really think before he speaks. However, he's treated me very well and been nothing but nice to me (when he isn't saying stupid shit). Although, he doesn't really "mesh" well with my group of friends.
I have Tim -- He's also a great guy. He is eight years older than me, but he's grounded, not into the whole "party" scene, and my friends all love him. I haven't found any flaws with this guy except I often wonder why he's still single. He's never been married and doesn't have any kids which is great because the last time I dated a guy with a kid it just was NOT what I was looking for.
I think, my choice is Tim. We're renting some movies tonight and keeping a low profile after the last two nights in the bar scene. We're renting Happy Feet, so I'm pretty pumped about it 'cause that movie is hilarious. I wonder how I'm going to break the news to Mike -- I still want to be friends because he's a solid guy to hang with and we have a lot of common friends, but I think he just isn't right for me. Our personalities don't match. Wow, this is going to be hard... Especially since he asked me to come over tonight after work and I already made plans with Tim.
No worries, though.
P.S. Hi, Mom.

Bar Crawl
Bar crawl with Sara!!! There are many, many more fantastic pictures from Friday and I will soon post them. We wore our "beer googles" out that night! Loves it!
A Blank Expression
I turned in my fabulous paper that I slaved away at for three hours last night today. I wrote about how social relationships between the lower classes, plebeian classes, and elitist of colonial Mexico City controlled the stabilization of the colonial regime over the government's regulations. It was a solid 10 pages long and pretty fantastic if I do say so myself. It was actually a fun paper to write. Why is it that I enjoy writing papers but I can't put that energy into other homework and tests? It just doesn't make any sense. I want to take a class that is purely focused on writing papers. That would be super grand.
I took my one and only class at 11:30 this morning and now I'm just sitting around bored off my ass. I don't have to work today so I'm thinking about finding some buddies to play some cornhole. Sara wants me to go to dollar wells tonight but I'm broke and I really just don't feel like drinking. I might love to party, but I don't drink all the time. Just on the weekends and Wednesday. Wednesay is an odd day, yes, to drink -- But it's ritual and it's FUN. Regardless of the drama and uncomfortable situations I may get myself into (on purpose?), I still love my Wednesdays with my girls.
Time to watch Friends.
Oh, and before I forget -- Download Lumidee's "She's Like the Wind." It's a remix of the great Patrick Swayze's song and it is my new favorite tune.

Almost April!
It's almost April... Finally Mother Nature has graced Bowling Green with some consistent good weather. The sun is out, it's not too hot, not too cold, there are birds singing, college kids playing cornhole, and the best part... us college kids sitting on the many porches along Wooster Street skipping class and drinking booze. This is when you know the school year is almost over. It's fantastic. However, this girl has decided to drown herself in school work and work. I don't regret it. I want to salvage what I can from this semester. I'd like to leave this semester with only one 'F' and the rest Cs. It's going to be hard, probably impossible, but by golly, I'm going to try!
This weekend proved interesting. The bar crawl of Friday turned out great. On Saturday Liz and I were going to go to Quarters for a couple of pitchers and then head over to a D Chi party (I haven't seen those boys in weeks!), but instead something rare happened... Liz and I came alone around 9PM and booked it to the bar to get a seat before it started getting busier... We were sitting at the far end of the bar, closest to the door and pool tables and we immediately ordered a pitcher of Bud Light and two shots of Quervo. You have to start the night off right! As we're getting ready to take our fabulous shots of Q, I notice two guys that I've never seen at the bar before (come on, I'm a regular there). We take our shots and I mention it to Liz; I didn't want to be conceited by any means, but those young men were staring. She said she noticed it too and we just kept an eye out to see if we were crazy or if they were. Well we play pool, have another pitcher, and the gentlemen move to another pool table to play some games. Liz and I are sitting at the bar and I bust the boys pointing and whispering. Liz looks at me and says, "I bet they are going to buy us a drink." I, being the outgoing and stupid person I am, decide to one-up them and purchase a shot for them first. I buy four Cherry Bombs and walk over there with Liz. I sit the shots down and tell them they looked thirsty and they deserved a shot. From then it was history -- We partied with the guys all night and they ended up being really fucking kick ass. Tim, 29, and I hit it off right away and he told me that on Wednesday him and Bryce, 26 (who hit it off with Liz), are going to meet us ladies at Quarters for our Wednesday night ritual. Now, although I'm very excited, I'm also very nervous. Like last week I'll have both old and new Mike there, Justin (who has the hots for me, but I keep turning down), AND Tim (who was flirting with me all night). This hussy is going to have a hard time handling this interesting situation.
Hope it plays out well!!
Time to drown myself in a paper due tomorrow. Yay for me.

Wowzers
I do believe that it is not a good idea to go on a bar crawl with all your best friends the night before you have to work 8+ hours. Not a good idea at all. Although I might be a little hungover and have found stamp markings in places I don't recall being stamped, it was surely a good night!!!
I actually ran into my "almost" boyfriend's roommate. He told me that Mike (new) really likes me! Yay! I guess he talks about me when I'm not there, and it's good things -- Not bad. That's always positive to hear. I had fun with all of Chris' friends last night after all my friends disappeared. We all got drunk and danced and had some fun. We all went to Taco Bell and it was crazy packed. I waited like 45 minutes for my food. I was not a happy girl... When you are wasted, tired, and hungry... It's not a good combination. I do believe I also saw Mike (old) at Uptown but I ignored him the whole time. I could NOT let my boy's roommate see me flirting with another guy -- I had to be on my best behavior because he would tell on me in a heart beat if it looked like I would hurt the poor kid.
I miss him, actually... We got in a pretty big fight on Wednesday because he was mad that I "wasn't paying enough attention" to him at the bar. I thought it was pretty childish and woman of him and when I told him that (hey, I was drunk), he wasn't too happy with me. We still haven't actually sat downt o talk about what we are or about Wednesday night... He's in Indiana this weekend for National Guard so I guess we'll just have to wait until Sunday to talk about things... I'm not really sure how I'm going to bring it up or what I'm going to say, but I believe I need to tell him about old Mike. Not everything, just that I'm just ending this complicated relationship and I'm really stuck in the middle of a rock and a hard place.
We'll see what happens.

Year of the Tiger
According to blogspot.com, my zodiac symbol is the tiger. After further researching this exotic animal, I'm more specifically the fire tiger. Basically all you need to know about me is that I'm powerful, the king queen of the jungle (it's not the lion, back off), and it is believed to govern the heart. Fire is associated with the qualities of dynamism, strength and persistence, and with restlessness and a sense of peacefulness. That little blurb was courtsey of Wikipedia. Sweet ass!
Go Falcons
For the first time ever a MAC Championship team has advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. Can you guess which fabulous team accomplished this? BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LADY FALCONS!! For the first time since 1989 we actually made it to the 2nd round and now we're off to the 3rd rounds against the #3 team, Arizona State. We beat the #2 team, Vanderbilt, last night so anything is possible! Best. Game. Ever. Check out my girls play on ESPN Saturday, March 24th, and 12PM noon!
With the good news being spread, I thought it would be an opportune time to also spread around a fantastic quote I heard today... Thanks to our ever great New York from VH1's I LOVE NEW YORK I present the following quote I heard today. I don't know why it made me laugh, but it just tickled my funny bone:
"It's ok to cry. People cry, dogs cry, doves cry, I cry, everyone cries!"
I think what cracked me up was that she said "doves cry" and all I could think about was Prince. I bet that too-much-make-up-psycho thought of the same thing.

Exams, Quizzes, Papers, OH MY!
I'm currently cramming for my quiz at 3:30. I did study last night, however, I was easily distracted by the movie "Stranger Than Fiction" which, by the way, I highly recommend. I'm kind of at a loss of studying for this quiz -- The last quiz I took for this class I studied for days and got a 58% on it. How is that possible, may you ask? Apparently I didn't have enough "verbs and nouns" in my essay questions. I reread all those bad boys and my answers were awesome. Oh well. At this point I'm just skimming what I don't know and hoping I can bullshit my way through some of it. If I get a better grade on this quiz it just further proves that you can bullshit your way through life.
I work today and I'm hoping that today goes better than the last couple of days. I've wanted to throw things at my lovely bosses. Boss man drives me insane sometimes. He definitely called me out last week when he caught me rolling my eyes at him; but, who can blame me? This man is ridiculous!!
Tonight is Quarters/Endzone night. My one of two nights that I like to go out during the week (the other being Saturday). Tonight will prove to be highly entertaining because not only am I going with my favorite bar gals, but I'll be running into both Mikes. New Mike and old Mike. This is going to be FUN! I wonder what drama will brew up from this -- Time will only tell.
St. Patty's Day went swimmingly. It was a lot of fun. Some of my favorite 21ers and I went on an impromptu bar crawl and made it to 10 different bars. A round of shots and beers at each bar, some more than others, led to a very drunk Ashley calling a very sober (new) Mike to come pick her up. Poor guy didn't know what was about to hit him.

A Crazy Little Thing Called Love
These past two nights have been fairly interesting for me. On Monday I was surprised to have an old friend from Columbus come and visit. Him and I went to Chipotle, Quarters, and then to Uptown for a night of fun 80's music. While we were at Quarters Mike shows up with his very manly girlfriend. I wasn't pleased. However, I think he thought that Josh and I were "together" so it made things much more interesting. Overall, it was just extremely weird.
Well, being the drunk loud mouth that I am, as we (Amanda, Josh, and I) were leaving to meet our friends at Uptown I tell everyone that they should join us for some fun times. An hour later Mike shows up without his beloved girlfriend or Tyler. Weird. Why the hell would you show up alone to a bar to meet people you only sort of know? Sara says it's because I was there -- He did ask to come home with me; I said no.
Last night my buddy Kent and I went to Brewsters for free pool and, of course, Mike, Tyler, and Amanda were there. She's a very odd character, I might add. While we were there, though, I was really quiet with Mike. Usually I'm pretty loud, sarcastic, and outgoing, but I was very uncharacteristically quiet. I wasn't feeling very comfortable in the situation I was in. He noticed.
While we were there, though, a group of very attractive guys showed up to play pool and one of them (Rob) started to talk to me. I was very excited because I could see that Mike was getting upset that all my attention (and now very talkative-self) was on a different boy. Who can blame me, though? Did Mike really think I was going to be all giggles to hang out with him and his girlfriend? I definitely don't think so!
Tonight is the weekly Quarters then Endzone night for booze and karaoke. Rob said that he was going to go to Quarters at like 1130, and I'm considering going out tonight and seeing if I run into him. I go anyways, but usually we all leave around 11 for the Endzone. Maybe tonight I'll leave at midnight, instead.
All this sounds so trivial when I reread through it, but it's my confusing life and the only way it makes any sort of sense is when I write (or type) it down. What a crazy little thing called "love," I'm stuck between right now.

Back to Basics
Ah, it's now time to start the second half of Spring semester. This year has blown -- Completely. I don't want to be here anymore, and it's getting more and more difficult to make myself concentrate on actually doing well. I've dropped two classes this semester and I'm down to 9 credit hours; I also dropped a major (since I was double majoring). I don't know what's wrong with me this year, but I'd much rather be working right now and making money than attending class. I'm destined to be working at Hollywood Video for the rest of my life.
Something new, though... I've been really thinking about forcing myself to try and finish school and join the National Guard or the Army. Since I'm majoring in Geography and I want to make maps, I thought joining the military would be the smartest route to go, but we'll see. I'm still so unsure of everything in my life right now.
This weekend proved pretty interesting. Sara is finally back and we had our own little fun. On Saturday night Jeff, Matt, and I partied it up with some good friends. It was a lot of fun... I forgot how much fun that "group" was to party with. They continually crack me up.
I work here in 20 minutes and I'm really not wanting to go in. I usually go into work at 11AM, but for whatever reason I'm scheduled for 9AM. That's pretty lame and I have a feeling I'm going to be slicing meats and shit all night. Lame. And, to top off the "lameness" factor... I work with the bosses.
Something new, though... I've been really thinking about forcing myself to try and finish school and join the National Guard or the Army. Since I'm majoring in Geography and I want to make maps, I thought joining the military would be the smartest route to go, but we'll see. I'm still so unsure of everything in my life right now.
This weekend proved pretty interesting. Sara is finally back and we had our own little fun. On Saturday night Jeff, Matt, and I partied it up with some good friends. It was a lot of fun... I forgot how much fun that "group" was to party with. They continually crack me up.

I Like to Move it, Move it
This week has gone by terribly slow. It's been Spring Break up here but, unfortunately, I did not get a Spring Break... I got to work 40 hours this week. I should have also taken the time to look for a second job since I'm completely broke, but I was just too lazy. And it snowed. I blame the snow.
I'm actually kind of excited for today -- My best friend, Sara, is coming back from Vegas today. I really wanted to hit up the bars tonight but I don't think I'll be able to get to the bank today so I'm still broke. Looks like it'll be parties for the ladies tonight. Still, it'll be good to have her back... I've missed her! Last night JB and I went over to his buddy, Tristan's, house. I didn't really like anyone there. A friend from work, though, showed up so I was happy I knew someone. I'm usually a pretty outgoing person, but there was one of those girls there that thought since she was just soooo pretty everything should be handed to her. I was getting rather annoyed. Stupid girls. When I got home around 1:30AM Kent had sent me some IMs saying that my "crush" had come over to his place to drink. I'm kind of mad I missed the opportunity to drink with Kent and Matt (my crush), but what can you do. Hopefully I can get out some good gossip from Kennels. We'll see.
I'm really not looking forward for today (work wise). I work open to close, essentially; 11-7. I also work with Mike from 5-7 -- Peachy. I have really, finally, ended it. I'm smarter than what I've made myself seem and he just isn't worth what I'm putting into this crazy relationship. I also finally told a couple girls from work (I wanted to keep it a secret)... They also agree with me that it is good that I end it. It was kind of hard to hide it from them when I showed up with Henry and Chris attached to my neck. That bastard.
I also have a long shift tomorrow -- 10-3 and then 5-9. That doesn't seem so bad with the 2 hour break, but it's still a nine hour day. We also have a huge order to prepare on Saturday which probably means that the bosses will make an appearance. Boy, am I excited. I hope these friends of mine on my neck decide to disppear before then. I was getting nothing but hell at work for them. I guess it's my own fault, though.
Ugh, someone go to work for me.

St. Louis Rams
I realize that football season is long over, but it's never to early to be excited for the upcoming season!! I'm overly obsessed with the St. Louis Rams... They are my favorite team, hands down. What I'm most excited about is that the Rams last away game is against the Bengals (Who-Dey!), in Cincinnati. Since I'm originally from Cincinnati, this means that this girl is definitely taking her dad to the game. I will definitely be THAT GIRL that shows up to her home team's turf in Rams colors. Hopefully I'll be able to walk away from it all, but I gotta support my favorite team. I remember my first ever football game with my Dad when I was about eight or nine years old. I remember I had on those pullover winter jackets that a lot of sports teams had (I had both a Rams and a Bengals one), I had my face painted orange and black, I was wearing a Bengals beanie, and I was completely surrounded by drunk old men. It was the best time of my life. Wow, I'm entirely too excited for this season now!!! GO RAMS! GO BENGALS! (I hope the following teams lose: Steelers, Browns, Cowboys, Dolphins, 49ers.)

The Days That End in "Y"
That magical snow I mentioned earlier is a bitch. The city of Bowling Green cares very little about where they put all that extra snow that they shovel up. While walking to work I passed numerous (what can only be described as) "mounds." These "mounds" wouldn't necessarily be promblematic if they were out of the way of traffic. However, Bowling Green likes to place them in piles in the middle of the road in turn lanes. This makes it very difficult for people who walk to work, like myself, to cross the street when A) you can't see what's coming and B) you have to climb (yes, climb) over the mounds.
No worries, though, the snow melted in a period of four hours... I'm not worried about it when I make my walk back from the bars tonight.
It's Wednesday so that means pool and booze at Quarters, and then followed by karaoke night at Endzone. Such a glorious night this will be. Wednesdays are also a day that I booze it up with Mike and his friends so I'm curious to see if he will come over tonight or if his girlfriend will be there since tonight is his birthday. However, she's never come before so I'm hoping she doesn't change her plans. I'm crossing my fingers. It amazes me that even after all that previous ranting, I'm still excited to see him. I was really upset about him standing me up the other night, but it turns out he fell asleep when he got home to his apartment while he was waiting to come over to my place. I had said 2AM and I guess he got to his place at 1:30 and was just waiting. It's not really a good excuse, but I forgive easily and there's nothing we can do about the situation now.
I've decided I just don't care anymore. Really.
For some funny... Thanks P-Nasty for making me laugh with this amusing photo.

Party Hard
Now, in Kent's defense -- He really is a good guy, and one of my dearest and oldest friends. However, why is it necessary to go bonkers after a night of drinking? Just because we drink together quite often does not entitle you to confess your love for me, Sara, Kara, and all the other female friends you have. It's rather annoying.
I'm blowing off steam here, and I'm being kind of bitchy, but I have a right. I have to deal with this drama every time we drink. It's annoying (repeat).
Last night, as usual, we all head to Quarters for some pool, booze, and silver strike. I was having quite a splendid time and I was pretty hammered by the end of the night. While we were at the bar everything was peachy. There was no weirdness, nothing. We get back to Sara's apartment (since I'm crashing here) and it's like a trigger went off and he kept asking to sleep with me on the futon. I kindly told him no (four times), and to sleep on the other futon. Well, apparently, he was having none of that and left.
I would have stopped him from drunk driving but the room was spinning and instead of running to the door to stop him I yelled, "oh shit," and ran to the bathroom on the other end of the apartment.
Why are boys just so weird?
Now, I'm huuuuungova' and off to walk to work in the magical four inches of snow that we go last night. Fuck you, Mother Nature. She's a bitch, ain't she? I better be working with some sweet people today because I don't think I can handle the bosses.

Working Girl
You'd think that after being shown something once, that your boss would assume that you would be able to successfully complete that said task at a later date.
However, this is not the case. Yes, boss, I know how to slice tomatoes, ham, onions, etc. etc. You show me every day as if I've never worked there. In case you forgot, I've worked there for three months and slice daily. Get off my case. Thanks.
Also, I hate slicing onions -- Please make me stop doing it. Thanks.
And another thing -- Go home, boss, you make work 100 times more difficult when we are busy and you are there. We aren't 10, we know how to run a business efficiently and in a timely manner. The only time we get behind is when you are breathing down our necks and making us stop what we're doing every five minutes because you feel as though it's necessary to show us the "proper" way to make a sub. We've all worked there 3+ months. We aren't stupid.
One last thing -- If I have to hear you explain how none of us have good work ethic and how we're going to fail in life, I'll probably throw bread at your face. Oh, and before I forget, please have your son stop calling me "retarded" because I put a sticker on a piece of bread vertically and not horizontally.
