I have found a lovely addition to my study time. In order to make writing papers and researching more comical, I have been playing sitcoms in the back ground (currently 30 Rock is what's on the roster) while I am thoroughly enthralled in completing my school tasks. This, however, causes me to frequent a neighborhood video store more often than I would like to admit.
Three days of papers, projects, and test studying, excused three days of video store visits in-a-row. On the first occasion, a lady came out of no where and asked for some change for bus fare so she could get home. I only carry my license when exchanging a movie as to not tempt myself with stopping for a ddp. (Our family chips in and we get a month pass at the video store, so not even a reason for a debit card. I probably just admitted that we watch way too many movies.) So, unfortunately, I had to decline this woman. The second day, this same lady jumped out from around the corner and asked for money for some medication she needed. Due to the same circumstances as stated above, I once again declined (her not even recognizing that this was the second time she'd asked me). The third day, the same woman approached me from behind, scaring the crap out of me, and asked for money to get some food. By this point, I was a little judgemental, I wont lie. I didn't have money on me, but I am sure I wouldn't give her any if I did. She was scamming me.
That's not even the part where I sold my soul. Once I entered the video store I told the worker that there was a solicitor asking for money as we entered. I don't know the exact rules. But, I know when I worked at QT I had to kick my share of beggers off the premises, they weren't allowed. On the occasion where they were creepy (which was most of the occasions since I worked by myself on the over nights), I just called the non emergency police, who then kicked them off for me. But either way, I am pretty sure that it is a no no for someone to be camped out for three days on the side walk in front of a video store asking everyone for money.
I didn't even think, I just walked in and reported her. WHO AM I. I can't believe I did that. It was pretty rotten. I mean maybe she was down on her luck needing a ride, medicine, and food all in the space of three days. Maybe God sent her to me thinking I would be a good Samaritan and share with someone in need. Instead, I just slapped her on the face (metaphorically) and walked away.
So now, I am pretty sure I no longer have a soul and all just for snitching.

DISDANE
I hate cats... With all of my little heart.
There is one in particular who likes to torment me and there is nothing I can do about it. I mean seriously they don't listen.
First, last week she jumped up on the back of my chair, getting my hair all in her... yuck!!! So instead of just pushing her off the back, I tried to be nice and pick her up and place her on the ground. What do I get for my kind gesture?
Second, as our family was kneeling down praying she decides to squeeze her way past me, in between my two legs. This of course caused me to scold her in the middle of the prayer and in turn caused the whole family to burst out laughing at me. All the while, my sister was able to keep herself under control and finish the prayer.
Third, she knows I hate it when she is in my room and I will not sleep with her in here. She knows this so she figures out how to pry my room door open when I am not there and goes and hides under my bed.
She is hiding under my bed, keeping me from sleep and the whole while taunting me. Do you see the flip flop under her little paw? It is one of the many shoes I threw at her to try and get her to get out. She would just play with them, lay on them, and laugh a devilish laugh right in my face!!! And since the last time I touched her I ended up with scratches, she knew I wouldn't lay a hand on her or her little tail that methodically swayed from side to side just in my reach...

Two scratches in my arm!!! (and that is after a week of healing)

"ONE DAY"
From a single person's point of view, one might take the average chick flick to be "romantic".
One might always watch one in its entierty then take a long "ahhh" sigh at the end. Only to hope that "one day" someone could love me as much as he loves her.
We all know it's fiction so why do we think these men really exist? I have yet to be married so I cannot add my thought of chick flicks from a married point of view but I can guess; "one day" my husband will be like him.
I don't think it really could change that much. The people I know who are married, still live in reality and none of the stuff in chick flicks happens in reality.
So, I pose an interesting hypothesis:
Women who watch chick flicks are less satisfied with their current state of life.
There is no way that a woman can turn off the TV after watching 1.5-2 hours of made up fairy tails (aka chick flicks) and be happy with ones current state of life.
What I think after viewing such a flick, is:
“No one has ever….”
"If it takes looking like __________ to get a guy like that, I guess it is a fairy tale."
(take your pick of leading actresses to fill in the blank)
Yet still, knowing and admitting to such feelings towards such fictitious films, I will continue to indulge my self to the hope....
"one day".

- Tried to sell their season tickets to the Red Sox, just to win my trust
- Gone to a Celine Deion concert sporting a pink Celine Shirt with me
- Named off all seven of my smiles and why I use them
- Said “I can’t help myself” while telling someone else about me
- Conjured up an elaborate pen pal scheme just to prove their love for me
- Convinced my sisters crush to marry her just after saving my family from embarrassment by paying off my younger sisters frivolous wedding, just so that he could prove that he wasn’t proud and would do any thing for me
- Shared a bag of razzle’s with me even though I was convinced I was a thirteen year old stuck in a thirty year olds body
- Didn’t get in the way of me winning a reality show to marry his best friend even though he loved me
- Come from the 1800’s to show me the meaning of life and cuddle with me while I am sad
- Robbed a sculpture from a museum to keep my father from being outed as a fraud
- Put a diamond ring in the change slot of the Chicago train station for to prupose
- Helped me cover the tomatoes while I was in a robe and a hair cap
- Help my spirit find my body and come out of a coma and build me a wonderful garden on my roof top
