Tagged!!

I am only doing this because Bethany was a good sport and did it first. Hope you can keep your eyes open for all of these 6 "interesting" facts about me!

R u l e s :#1. List 6 facts/habits about yourself that no one knows
#2. Tag 6 other friends and post their names at the bottom.

1. I am one-half of an inter-racial couple - the reason I even list this is because my roommate Kim and I have lived together for 6+ months and we talk about everything. We got this new roommate a few months back and she keeps telling Kim to "be careful what you say around Alisca, she's dating a black guy" - to quote Phoebe Bouffe (sp?) "THAT IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION!!"
2. I am addicted to cheesy MTV shows that some may call "immature" - The Hills, Runs House, and The Real World are my absolute faves!
3. I would sleep with Morris Chesnutt - anytime, anywhere - no questions asked
4. I am a closet-Dallas-Maveriks fan - SIKE! I would never like those losers but wanted to make Kim happy for a moment.
5. Every year, I make a New Year's resolution to lose weight and every December, I start to think about how to accomplish that goal in less than a month. I think this year, I am going to resolve to gain weight and see if reverse psychology works on New Years resolutions.
6. When I don't have my fake nails on, I feel naked (and that is something NO ONE wants to see!)

I am tagging: Kim, Hello Kitty, Dorothy, Blanche, Nalu (damn, I'm funny!)

My new car!

I finally did it. I traded in "White Lightning" (my '99 Chevy Cavalier) for this car which has been fondly named "White Lighning Rides Again" (thanks Bethany!). I'm pretty excited and so is Aubrey. Neither of us have had something new for a very long time!! It is technically used with 22,000 miles but it beats the hell out of 174,000 on White Lightning. It's a 2007 Chevy Cobalt.

R.I.P. to my hero, Sean Taylor

It's been a rough week this week. When I got to work on Monday, a friend of mine called to tell me that he heard on ESPN radio that Sean Taylor had been shot. I immediately got online
to try and find out more information. I soon learned the details: someone had broken into Sean's home in Miami and shot him in the leg. His fiance and 18 month old daughter were in the room where he was shot. Sean underwent emergency surgery to repair the femoral artery, but he passed away early Tuesday morning. I was in total shock when I heard he was gone. Since I was in college, Andrew and I have followed Sean Taylor's career very closely. He soon became one of my heroes. He was a good man and an AMAZING football player. I am mourning his loss along with thousands of other Redskins fans. It was so sudden that it is a total shock and I know that we are all praying for his family and expecially his daughter who will never know her daddy. Sean, you were an amazing person and I guess God needed a Safety for an Angel. If that was the case, he got the best Safety in the game. You will be missed and your fans and teammates will never forget you!

The wonder that is myspace

Every time I turn around, I have a new friend request on myspace. Generally these are people I either don't know or don't want to know anything about me. Every once in a while, though, I will get a blast from the past and have the opportunity to hook up with an old friend. That happened to me TWICE today. I found one of my best friends from college that I have been desparate to get in touch with for years but have been unable to find him. I am so happy to see him and see his cute little family. They are all doing so well. The other surprise I got was from my best friend's girlfriend. I thought for sure that we weren't friends anymore because she had deleted me from her myspace page but it turns out that she still likes me (yay). All in all, myspace has helped me get back in touch with some of the people who were most important to me. Thanks Tom!

The Bachelor is a crock

I didn't watch the Bachelor this season because it happened to interfere with Monday Night Football. I did, however, watch the finale last night. WTF is up with him telling the last girl that he really cared about her and had all these deep feelings for her and then telling her that he could never love her? What an insensitive jerk! To some extent I suppose it's better that he didn't give someone a ring and not have true feelings or good intentions, but if that was his plan all along, why did he even do the show? I may or may not watch the next season based on what happened this time.....Way to go ABC!

Catching cold is a bitch

I am home from work sick today. It's nice to have a break from work but of course it had to come on a week where we only have to work 3 days anyway. I wish it was a day off where I could do anything I want to but since I don't feel good, I get to sit home and be miserable. Plus, I don't want to be home with my know-it-all roommate but that's the situation. I have decided to self-trat this cold this time and not go to the doctor just to have them tell me that I have a cold (I had already gathered that much from the sore throat and coughing). I have to work tomorrow. Can't afford to be off another day so hopefully I feel tons better by then.

Jesse & Halle's birthday




Little People are a staple of life for these two. Jesse got a Pirate Ship and Halle got a princess castle. She thinks she can live inside it and is pretty fun to watch playing "make believe". I love these kids so much!

New car buying....

It is my opinion that one should be able to find the car she can't live without, call her bank and tell them what she wants, and have the money within 24 hours. Of course that isn't how it works which sucks because I would really love to OWN this car before I go to Vegas again. Aubrey would die if I showed up in a new car all of a sudden. He is already proud of me for branching out and going with a RED car and only a 2-door when I professed to only want a 4-door. This car is hot though and I don't know many people that would pass it up. I hope it all works out and that I am cruising without White Lightning's company very soon!

Text stalker update

Text stalker has had his cell phone STOLEN!! I am convinced that it is a message from above and when he sent me a message on myspace asking me to send him my number again, it "accidentally" got deleted. Whoops! Guess he will have to live without stalking me and find some other poor innocent girl that is naieve enough to give this weirdo her phone number. Sorry girls.

The Stomping Brigade

For being a small "Asian" girl, my roommate makes the same amount of noise as a herd of Rhinos when she ascends or descends the stairs in our townhouse. I am afraid that one of these days my pictures are going to come crashing down and then the glass from said pictures may be used for purposes of the devil. I can't guarantee her safety at that point.

My "text" stalker has gone hi-tech

So, I had this "friend" in college (he used to tag along with my best friend ALL the time and therefore associated himself as my "friend"). He is a white guy trying to be black. Quite a trip if you ask me. Anyway, we didn't talk after college, mostly because I didn't want people to know that I knew him. Suddenly, 3 years later and no cell phone number change on my part, he contacts me and wants to be best friends. Apparently, he is involved in a pyramid scheme - excuse me, I mean a "great business opportunity" - that he wants to share with me 24/7. The first few times he was texting me was just catching up and that's all fine and good. Then, he starts telling me that he comes to Salt Lake all the time and would love to talk to me about this "great business opportunity".

So, he comes to Salt Lake City a couple months ago (after many text messages with the OVERUSE of the smiley face emoticon....wow) and wants to meet for dinner. I make some lame excuse about my cousin getting married at the temple that day (it was a Thursday) and tell him that I'm really sorry, but I won't be able to see him **tear**

Mistakingly, I have let him infiltrate the sanctity of my myspace friends space (he has since been removed as he has abused his power as my myspace friend). Today, after months of no texts with the smiley face crazy face, I receive a text stating that he is on my myspace page and he sees that I am coming to his town (Vegas). Did I want to hang out? HELL NO!!! I am going to Vegas to be with my boyfriend, not some wierdo from college that I couldn't stand when we were "friends". I guess the only hope I have is to change my phone number to get rid of him. That's not going to happen anytime soon, so I guess I will just have to fend off the advances of the text stalker gone hi-tech.

Seriously

Just because I'm the oldest roommate in the house, does that make me the mom? Every time something is going on with our townhouse, the landlord calls me and has me "spread the word" among my roommates. Is it due to my age? The fact that I have lived there the longest? Or could it be because I am such a bitch when threatened/confronted that he feels like he better keep me posted?

Regardless, it gets a little annoying trying to be the mom.
