a cot for the slut

there is an unspoken bond that unites friends. It's supposed to feel like the end of the world when you lose something so close, especially when plans were involved. We had plans so travel through Paris and to go skydiving across the bluest of skies.

...

Okay so maybe those weren't the plans we had in mind, but they were plans nonetheless. We had plans to purchase R2-D2; to have drinking parties (minus me); for Ho to fold clothes and do E in her room; for Slut to organize everything from shelves to bedsheets and hookah in her room; I was just supposed to wash dishes and look pretty. But no. The fates were against us from the very beginning.

It's not Slut, Ho, & Bitch anymore.
It's just Ho & Bitch.
No.
More like Bowie and Marissa.
Because without Risha, there is sadness and gloom.
Well, Bowie is kinda fun too, I suppose. =)

Let's just hope her "hot asian boy" doesn't turn out gay.

PS. A cot will forever remain for you, baby. If you ever get sick (take that in more ways than one), you know who to call...GHOSTBUSTERS (our supposed Halloween costumes for next year. Sigh.)!

MBSCLE! part I

with Thanksgiving days behind and the holiday season approaching, I decided to give any of you who will listen (or read for that matter) a head start on...

MARISSA'S BIRTHDAY SLASH CHRISTMAS LIST EXTRAVAGANZA!

Part I

(yes, I have decided to split them into parts)

(deal with it.)

(I am.)

I know, I know...a few days or weeks before said grand entrance, but still. I'm too excited. My sincerest apologies for my being too materialistic this time of year, but that's what my parents get for consumating their only daughter with a birthday in mid-December. So surely I'm not to blame. Now, for those of you who are a little low on cash or whatnot, I have provided a easy list including colors, sizes, pictures and PRICES. Not only that! I'm also throwing in where you can find these items, get this...ABSOLUTELY FREE! That's right, folks. I'm not expecting you to give me the world, but for what it's worth, at least buy me something that will slap on a big ol' smile on my face. How does that sound? So open up those wallets, imagine me with that dazzling smile, and just think of it, knowing that you, yes YOU of all people, put that sucker on there!

Happy shopping!

penguin pants

there are penguins on my pajamas saying "time to go play in the snow!" It is the classic dream to imagine penguins talking in California. I remember when I was a youngster, I would converse with my penguin Beanie Baby when we were on a date at a fancy party. Hey, he was in a tuxedo all the time so you can't exactly blame me for attempting to make such an endeavor. But still. Oh, speaking of Beanie Babies, I brought my sheep one from home to the good old college dormitory. It's actually a lamb, but saying "sheep" sounds so sheepishly sheepish. Fleece (his name) will have a sheepishly good time with Vanilla Bear and Basic Bob #829. And Karl.

I truly apologize for the shorter-than-average blogs. I have recently contracted a virus from said boyfriend and the sniffles are soon approaching. A sore throat is in the works and both, working together, have conspired against me with the sole purpose to BRING ME DOWN. But it's not happening, no siree. This buggers are not going to be end of me; rather, they shall...hm. I guess the only thing they can do is provide me with an excuse to sleep more. And honestly, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

my leather jacket is slick

coming to the realization that my leather jacket goes with anything makes me feel BEYOND cool. I feel so tough. Kind of. I think watching too many Gilmore Girls reruns and googling Lorelai Gilmore's fashion is the cause of this. But I've been digging the Veronica Mars style above all. I don't know what my current obsession with Kristen Bell is all about, but let's hope that this fetish brings out the best in me. I may even turn lesbian for her. Sigh. Poor Karl. Well, maybe not really, seeing as how he also has a fetish for her when she plays Elle in Heroes. Well, I guess it's the best of both worlds.

Shh...do you hear that? That's the sound of the UPCOMING EVENT ON DECEMBER 15, 2007 that is about to occur. It's going to pound at you at the speed of light. So be prepared.

in due time

here lies a list of things that will occur in my near or later future (in no particular order):

IN DUE TIME...
-I will be employed.
-I will finish reading Lost in Austen.
-I will watch my debut video in all its entirety.
-I will eat my Honey Nut Cheerios.
-I will get my housing offer.
-I will turn my last teenage year.
-I will begin Letters in Pemberley.
-I will conspire against Angelina Jolie.
-I will prove my diligence to my parents.
-I will get my Acura MDX.
-I will finish reading Letters in Pemberley.
-I will change my bedsheets.
-I will eat some turkey.
-I will save my money.
-I will give up shopping for Lent (...I think that will be turned to a "I should")
-I will purchase R2-D2 with Risha.
-I will begin Persuasion.
-I will go to the Angels & Airwaves concert in January.
-I will eat the macaroni and beef in the freezer.
-I will go Black Friday shopping with the cousins.
-I will get to meet Mica for the first time.
-I will say farewell to my sidekick and get a new phone.

&&here's something you should ALL be anxious about:
-I will post my BIRTHDAY/CHRISTMAS WISH LIST once the first week of December strikes! (including pictures!)

unorthodox cha-ching

money is becoming really hard to come by. I have come to the point where I feel as if I need my job back. Hopefully during the summer, my savings account will flourish what with all my future paychecks. Sigh. So, I just bought a $60 dinner at Benihana and two dresses the next day for 25 bucks a pop...meaning I spent approximately $120 in two days. I can only take out money from the ATM 6 times per month and as of right now, I believe I have one more time I can actually do that. That is SO bad, especially since I am actually unemployed at the moment. I'm thinking about applying for a job at the Spectrum, but...I am kind of transportation vehicle-less. And my studies may suffer even more if I do plan to follow through with that. In conclusion, I guess I'm stuck here for a while with no money (well I do have money, I just can't spend anymore because I swear, it is going to create a gargantuan dent in my account) and no job. Dang, how I really miss earning money. This summer, I'm going to work 'til I can't handle it anymore. Because...yes, I admit it, I am very greedy and want a lot of money.
Hello, my name is Marissa and I love Star Wars. There comes a point in a lady's life when you come across something that will totally boggle your mind and become the feisty being that you truly are in the animalistic world of LIFE. Walking into Urban Outfitters proved to be one of these moments. I was strolling along and found this beautiful wonder:



What is it you ask? Why, it is an R2-D2 wastebasket? And guess where it's going to reside in next year?
You are absolutely CORRECT! My new apartment/dormitory in VDC (cough*hopefully*cough). Oh, R2-D2 trash can, come to momma. See, the way Slut and I look at is comes to this: when Slut or Ho (or maybe both) plan hookah or drinking parties at our place, guys are going to be like, "wow, these girls are pretty cool." And then once they enter our place, they're going to spot this little bugger and be like "DAMN! THESE GIRLS ARE WAY MORE AWESOME THAN I EVER IMAGINED!" and it will all end with an orgy at our place. HAH! Just kidding. But trust me, this will be at our place as soon as you can say "lightsaber."

the darjeeling limited

i feel as if my life somewhat revolves around that movie. There are so many things that I haven't come into contact with and I feel like I've lost touch with so many of the moralistic things that I've grown up believing in. I only wish that I haven't become such a douche as to stop staying true to myself and to what I trust will make my life more of an accomplishment rather than a regret.

On a happier note, just look. That's all you have to do. LOOK.

I think I just peed in my panties. Thank you for your time and consideration.

a premature guitar hero

i'm not quite sure why I'm so late discovering this piece of utter GREATNESS. It's a rush really. Getting blisters from buttons on a fake guitar rather than blisters from strings on a real one has turned the world topsy turvy. Oh World, what will you amaze us with next?

My insides are turning from the anxious wait of having to check whether I made my preferred housing choice. VDC is one of the world's wonders. I mean, seriously. Look at that room. It has mirrored closets, a pretty modern working area, and a FULL SIZE bed. Need I say more? Or shall I just indulge my excitement and make you even more jealous with pictures?

Look at that KITCHEN! Look at it! I want your eyes to be glued to the monitor screen close enough so that the pupil of your eyes can melt to it. Because all I have to say is DAMN. Those three chairs (well, there's four, but we'll leave the fourth seat open to Roommate #4) will be reserved for Slut, Hoe, and Bitch.

The bathroom. Sigh. Look at the cute little greenery on the top of each mirror.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR OUR APARTMENT!

COME TO MOMMA!

protect the planet

my environmental tee has been getting some good feedback. Especially accessorizing with a dope peace sign necklace. I bet the shirt feels all tingly inside its many fibers. =)

Oh!

Speaking of tingly, I feel so tingly inside myself. I actually skipped only ONE class this entire week! C'mon, that's got to be some kind of accomplishment, especially for a lethargic college student like myself. I'd give myself a pat on the shoulder or maybe my very own hug, but...I just don't want to. That's what boyfriends are for. HAH.

Mr. Warkentin is SO funny. He truly IS the mumbling man from Office Space. He's GOT to be. But overall, he's got the look and the voice down to a tee.

My future roommates are proving to be such a great crowd. I mean, there's the HO. The ho likes to go out to parties, go clubbing; she's the free-spirit of us all. She hooks up with the most random of guys, none of whom we've truly met before and she goes out on scary taxi cab rides just to get some action. Hehe. Then there's the SLUT. The slut insists on sleeping at the most inappropriate of times, filling her room with the aromy of curry, and hiding alcoholic beverages behind her innocent cereal boxes of Lucky Charms or something. She also dresses like a slut, what with her hoochie mama "corrupt cop" Halloween costume. Then there's me. I'm not quite sure where I quite fit into this whole college fiasco, but I'm thinking I'm the only one left to be the designated driver. Sigh. Oh well. I might as well be the BITCH. The bitch makes fun of both the ho and the slut and makes sure they are taken care of. NO ONE messes with my roomies. NO ONE is gonna stand between MY girls. Well...maybe except the random fourth roommate we are planning on getting. YAY.

Everyone is going home for the weekend...

...sigh...

...AND SO AM I! WHEEEEE!

weird science

it's amazing. I didn't realize how much the 80's rocked. I should actually be rejoicing to be born in that era. truly is a magnificent time. I mean, two nerds pulling a frankenstein experiment and creating the perfect woman. It's wonderful. I haven't had such a great time watching a movie before.

Speaking of science, Mr. Biology and Mrs. Chemistry are kicking me in the balls right about now. Sure, genetics is one thing, but going so in depth that you think your brain is going to explode isn't such a whoop-diddily-doo kind of situation.

Someone go to target right this very moment, purchase me a hair dryer and a round brush. My hair is driving me nuts. It's insane.

Keep it real, peeps.

case file 01

a wise, young lad came up to me once and told me:

" You are a grape, Marissa. The grape that needs to be squeezed for the wine. The wine is the success and you will be squeezed many times during this phase in your life. Be the wine, Marissa. Be squeezed! "

'Twas a figurative moment, him & I, I & him, in that restaurant, embraced in such a transitory hug. It is now that i realize that those words are very difficult to live by. Sure, grapes can be purple = purple is a beyond brilliant color. But the rest is up to you. or me, in this case.

And so begins the turbulent sojourn of Marissa Vanilla.
Welcome to my world.
