So yesterday I happened to be at wal-mart. I just ended up going to where ever store was closest. Okay anyway, moving on with my story. I ended up going to wal-mart for some pads---talk about awkward (well at least I think so). I mean no girl wants to be walking around a store with a package of pads in their hand. So I thought that was awkward, well I was in the checkout line and this kid literally like 12 years old was ahead of my buying a g-string thong...WHAT?! I was thinking that me walking around with pads would be awkward but considering that I'm a girl that makes it normal...now a 12 year old little youngan kiddo buying a g-string for probably his faux girlfriend that he wished he had, that just made my day. What a day.

I haven't updated in a while, guess with exam week and such I've just had too many things on my mind. I've wanted to blog about so much but I guess this has been eating away at me for too long.

So my 1st year of college will be done...over with...1 full year, gone by. Sometimes I wonder how I got to this point and sometimes I think to myself "wow i've gotten this far?" then I think and I wonder "Have I gotten far?" Well I'm i'm in the process of packing and it feels so weird. Things just bare and it just looks so cold. I've come to hate this place and I realize that this place, that I thought I hated, will be missed. It's what I've called home for the past year. Of course it's not "home" but it was as close as it gets when you're hundreds of miles away. I just look around, surrounded by memories both good and bad, and I think "was it worth it?" I can't even answer that question right now, hopefully someday i'll say it was. One more exam left tomorrow morning at 8am...i'm so worried about it I can't even study for it anymore and I don't really even know what to begin with for studying. I guess i'm just gonna take it and hope that I pass. So i'm excited about the summer and next year, but sometimes I wonder if it'll all amount to something good or maybe even great. I feel like I've taken on to many things and that it'll never amount to anything. I have such a long road ahead of me and I wonder if i'll ever reach the end.

All right so for the past few days...err maybe week now I've been procrastinating to the max. I just keep putting everything off and now it's all caught up to me. I'm worn out, tired,  I feel so LAME! I told myself that when I started this blog that I would try my very best to update everyday...truth is, I've fallen back into my old habits! I've been so tired lately with multiple headaches attacking every region of my brain, and functioning correctly...out of the question. I finally got a decent amount of sleep yesterday and happened to notice what a HUGE difference sleep can make in keeping my sanity. I also happened to come across tips on sleeping and why it's good for you. For the most part if you wanna stay sane and keep your brain cells functioning and have them be on their merry way of reaching the synapse and sending electrical signals GET SLEEP! It helps prevent stress and fatigue! This site I found gives you tips on how to get better sleep. Oh and did you know that sleeping on it really does make a difference (who would have thunk it)?!! Helps your memory and relieves stress on making decisions (read the whole article here). Okay so now this brings me back to the question of beating procrastination. So everyone has different levels of procrastination...mine off the charts. There are simple things you can do though to help like having deadlines, this forces you to finish whatever it is you have to do! Apparently I have to get used to making decisions too...bummer--Read more on it ---> here.

Hey guys & dolls. So lately I've found myself falling into the ever so deep trap of procastinating. In the endless hours of the nights where I cannot rest my eyes I have to find something to keep me busy. My friend told me that Sanitarium was a pretty good PC game and she found me the site (sometimes it goes to an AD just refresh it did the same thing to me) where I downloaded the whole game. It's pretty fun, a little spooky, and a little complicated at times but it sure does keep me busy. I think I just find excuses not to do homework. Another note on the chain of  dissapointing things that have occured in my life lately I got hooked on the ABC series Six Degrees only to see it taken off the air...how sad. I hope they make it an online exclusive or something I mean they have Daybreak on there...possibly the LAMEST and unoriginal series to be ever invented considering that there have been numerous movies with the concept. Reguardless of the string of events that have happened to me this past week I feel hopeful that good things are still to come.

I can taste summer.

Hey, I think that everyone should have the chance to have their very own installed copy of photoshop! I have to say I love using photoshop myself and use it for hours at a time (it gets addicting beware ^_~). Anywho this site allows you to download photoshop and has the keygen so you can have photoshop...FOR FREE! No purchase necessary...pretty cool huh? oh the wonders of the Internet.

So a couple days ago my friend told me that Google is launching a free 411 service! Apparently it's called Goog-411 and that it would replace toll 411 calls. Apparently it's completely automated, but needless to say I thought this was interesting. You can find the whole article here if you're interested. On a more lighthearted note, my day was really frivolous; maybe because I didn't sleep at all...*ponders* Any who I was eating dinner with a friend and I happened to see this girl walk by and her face literally looked green...I couldn't tell if her face was really green or if it was a figment of my imagination. I had to do a double take to be honest. I looked around at the other people and then back at the girl with the possible green face. The results inconclusive. After I was done eating I came online and talked to my friend; told her about the "incident"...my delusional siting of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. She then told me about the time she actually saw someones face turn green. A real pivotal point in her life (no not really..actually not at all) in 4th grade when a kid in her class said "I think I'm going to be sick" and evidently ran out of the classroom with his mouth covered and his face GREEN! This brings me to the part where I looked up what causes your face to be green (you can find the website here). Just a heads up, it's not rocket science. Apparently your face turns green because the lack of blood in your skin. When stressed the hypothalamus triggers a "flight or fight" response; which in turn triggers the release of adrenaline. Since our skin is a yellow-ie color without blood, our veins in our bodies are easier to see. Veins=blue, skin=yellow; recover some simple principle's of art and the color wheel, and you realize that blue and yellow give you green! Horray for science! Sometimes I think I should submit myself to scientific research and have them do research on "the effects of no sleep and the consequences"...the results:human becomes retarded and cannot function properly..hence the reason why they are hindered in the process of progressing. Moral of the story, don't go 24 hours without sleeping...unless you want secretly want to see Frankenstein and be deemed utterly useless & dysfunctional.

FREEEEEEDOM!! (scene V)

Well for starters,
Happy Easter to those who celebrate =)

So today is day number two for me and blogging dun dun dun...okay that probably wasn't necessary. I found these pictures last night and decided that they were post worthy and would give everyone some kicks...at least I found myself quite amused. Along with these funny pictures, panglossic honeyfuggle sent me the video of Alanis Morissette's rendition of "My Humps" originally done by the Black Eyed Peas. I have to admit that Morissette's version of the song is a lot funnier. If you want to see or have not seen Alanis love her lumps you can see it here. Along with the pictures posted in this entry I found these pictures kept me amused for several hours; not to mention the driveby peeping picture led my panglossic honeyfuggle friend to peep me on facebook...more momments of hilarity...all in all a good day.

Hope everyone else has/had a fantastic day free of mulligrubs  =)

This is my 1st blog entry...can't say that I've ever had a blog; well one that i've actually put to good use. Anyways I decided that I would actually attempt to keep one this time. Well for starters, it took me literally hours to find both a blog-name (the one that shows up on the web address) and one that wasn't taken. After long hours of debating between the-flibbertigibbet & tidbits, and help from my friend the panglossic honeyfuggle(haha) I decided on what I have now.You're probably wondering what it means. It just means a person that is flighty or excessively talkative & likes gossip. To be honest I don't really think i'm a flibbertigibbet (although I am talkative), I just picked it because it sounds hilarious (go on say it outloud...you know you wanna). I actually thought tidbits would be a better blog name considering tidbit means a choice or pleasing bit of anything, as news or gossip (according to dictionary.com). Anywho if you're looking for great new vocabulary to stun your friends you should check out http://www.worldwidewords.org/. It's got a really fun collection of "weird" words; fun and learning all at once! Wow I sounded really cheesy.

Anyways Until Later.

Signed,

Sincerely, me
