i'm alive, sorry part2.

It's been a while.. for both pepper and I, sorry. busy, busy college girls we are. I'm up, go figure. I have some really messed up sleeping habits, oh well. Easter was good I went to Chelsea's cousins in scottsdale with her and had way to much chocolate and have been ever since (pictured above I'm a rabbit..?). Which is odd since I hardly ever eat candy.. but what's a girl to do? 

I have spent my night doing religion homework, buying my mates of state/black kids ticket, watching re-runs of anthony bourdian, watching snoop doggs wake and bake channel on his twitter, reading about horoscopes, and listening to Austin Gibbs music (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=210113237). Check it out. For some reason he reminds me of Margo and the Nuclear So and So's. Anyways, Friday was interesting in that I had to have the large majority of it told to me. Jell-o shots in plastic easter eggs can really get to a person.. I'd rather leave out all of the embarrassing details. I lost my camera and my mind... 

        I started on my final photo project today; gorilla mask, imaginary friends, birthday cakes, and a whole bunch of really cool things. I'm really excited to post it once it's all done! I think it's going to be really cool!

    Tomorrow yoga, more shooting, lil' drinking, and then the st.louis cardinals are playing here against the d-backs... I don't really like baseball but got to support the home team and Puljous!

Sorry I don't have anything really interesting to say... there's always tomorrow though!

starting tomorrow workout routine in motion! time for old ways to come back in a new way my friends!

have a good one...night.

ps. saw sunshine cleaning, I give it a C+.. the trailer makes you think it's going to be funnier than it is, just sayin'. 

enough is enough

I need to get my shit together, just like any American. But, for serious. After a series of embarrassing scholastic incidents, apparently my efforts to get my shit together this semester haven't been enough.

And I thought I had been doing so well; no drinking, no dates, no drugs during the week. Doing the homework the day I got it.

Yeah, I'm still fucking up. Stupid fuck-up shit, too, like average 19-year-old girl stuff, but still..... I'm writing a new set of rules for myself in the hopes of turning them into habits. Of a highly effective person. Just tryin' to live better, man. I've started to realize that all those things my parents told me to do were not because they wanted to impose their power on me, but, oh, because in the REAL WORLD people have to do these things to survive (I'm such an idiot)

Anyways, I'm writing these on the blog in order to keep myself in check, and maybe inspire some of y'all to get your shit together, too.


1.no drinking caffeine after noon

I thought I was pretty tolerant to caffeine, especially after pretty much overdosing on it last semester before my history final. And then there was the Sparks incident, where I drank a Sparks Lite and a half and thought I was going to die. Like, I had to be massaged and cooed Disney songs to because my heart hurt so much. This was worse than the time I accidentally mixed my antihistamine with alcohol. Kind of really embarrassing. And I'm convinced all my caffeine drinking is starting to keep me up so friggin' late. So, no drinking caffeine after noon, just like my mom used to say to me when I was a little 'un.


2. no computer after 11 pm

This probably sounds ridiculous, especially because I'm writing this at almost 3 in the morning. But someone told me some shit about how computers arent a constant source of light, so they flicker, and that keeps your brain awake, and you stay awake, and only get three hours of sleep and sleep through classes and die. I want to finish these two books I borrowed, Nine Stories and The Unbearable Lightness of Being...I've been meaning to get back into reading again. It's been a while. Could sure do with some good books. Could sure do with some quaaaality sleep.



3. no drinking alcohol Monday through Thursday during school year


This is just sort of a "DUH" to me. Save money, save brain cells, save self from embarrassing hangover'd presence in class the next day. There's more to it, though, I've never been a big drinker, but alcoholism runs in my family. And alkies on the real alkie front are not cute. This rule will also apply to drugs, not limited to but including sleeping pills and sleeping syrup.



4. WAKE UP WHEN THE ALARM GOES OFF YOU SODDING IDIOT

Self-explanatory, I hope, but I'm starting to use two alarms, I'm in the market for a new one. I'm always late to class. I sleep through my f-ing life. FML. This is a big one.


5. take fitness more seriously

I just started running again. Although I did not receive the clarity I had hoped for, I did feel pretty damn good after hopping in the shower and stretching. I'm already a very active person, playing with kids and having a long commute. Living in New York means I walk like 2 miles a day and it doesn't faze me, so I have to step it up. Running is what I want. I went for twenty-five minutes and only used my inhaler once. I hope to step it up to an hour and no inhaler. But, BABY STEPS! It feels so good once those endorphins get goin', and there's nothing like fitting into your skinny, skimpy summer clothes.


6. schedule every week on Sundays

I used to do this. Why did I stop? I'm going to do it again. Idiot.



7. call family 2x week

I have always been very disconnected from my family, for some reason. I mean, I currently live 50 miles from a handful of extended family, 1300 from my mother and 3000+ from both my fathers. I should be a good person and call them, right? I don't want to go through life not knowing my family, which is the regret I have whenever I think about my great-Aunt Sally's death and my grandfather, who's 5-year death-a-versary came by on April Fool's.


8. limit processed foods and dairy

Tryin' to stick to this "whole foods" thing. Whole grain, fruits, white meats, veggies, limited dairy, limited sweets, limited grease...it gets easier every day but having a horrible junk food addiction (like a crackhead, I tell you!) makes it a pain.




These are a handful of rules, but I'm rilly rilly gonna try to abide by them and get my shit together before summer starts...let us pray.


-Miss Pepper

he told me if i smoked crack with him he'd love me forever.. he lied.

So I came about this while doing a research paper in my religion class. We had to choose a religion we hadn't studied about in class so I choose kookie Scientology. Wow, weirdoz. I went to the Scientology main internet website and found these ads they had made kind like the drug.org ones they broadcast on TV just a lot more lame and AWFUL acting.. I ended up watching every single one, some even a few times. I really enjoyed the acid one and watched it over and over again cracking up at the kid who plays the kid who's "addicted" to acid. Also, the one of like the 10 year old who gets addicted to riddalen and dies... each ad ends with THEY LIED. Haha I got a pretty good laugh! Sorry if you don't think they're funny but I bluntly don't give a shit Scientoligest are fucking weird and this is just ONE of the many examples of why.. oh and Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch..
