For some reason I had the urge to clean today. Now if you know me, you know that I'm not the cleanest or most organized person... but for some reason I had this sudden urge to clean my bathroom (or my side at least!) After searching the laundry room for cleaning stuff, I headed upstairs with some cleaner and a hand full of old rags. Only when I got to my bathroom did I realize that I had grabbed about 10 rags instead of 3 like I thought. Good thing tho, because I needed a lot!
First job was clearing and cleaning the counter/sink. First I soaked the entire counter in water from an water bottle I didn't drink all of. The first rag was used to wipe it all up along with lots of the dust and soap on the counter. I ended up just making a big wet/soapy mess! Time for the second rag to dry off my mess. After reading the instructions on the cleaner I determined the best way was to just dump out the stuff directly on the counter and then wipe it around with another rag before using yet another to dry it off. I think it worked. :)
Next was the shower! We have this spray bottle stuff to remove all the nasty iron from our water that stains the shower. I'd seen my mom do it before, so I felt pretty confident. It wasn't until after I was standing in the shower spraying the walls that I remembered that my mom wore shoes and gloves for this job... So I decided to read the instructions! yep... it suggests wearing gloves to protect skin from the stuff... all well too late. The other thing about the stuff is that it smells and you are not suppose to breath in the vapors. So you can imagine how I was sticking my head out of the shower, taking a breath, then scrubbing like mad while holding my breath before again taking another breath. Very inefficient to say the least, But now the shower is clean and white! Take that, you iron! Now if only the smell would leave the bathroom and my room...
Third, as I've been typing I realized that I forgot to put dishwasher soap in the dishwasher earlier... oops. All well, I wanted to wash them a second time anyways!
Finally, I was going to vacuum my room, only to realize that the vacuum doesn't work :( After calling Mommy for help she tells me to take off the end and look up the tube for a clog. Sounds easy right? Only problem, I could not figure out how to take the thing off for the life of me. I guess my floor will get cleaned another time, and until then the vacuum will continue to sit in the middle of my room as a constant reminder.
Well there goes my dream of becoming a maid... I guess I'll just stick to nursing after all. Moral of the story: I need to hang out with my grandmas more so I can learn how to clean correctly!

Almost forgot the title...
Well that was fast, pretty much already forgot about my blog. Tho I can't say I didn't see it coming. I really don't have anything I really want to say, or an awesome story to post. One of these days I'm just going to make up some huge exciting post which is total fiction but pretend like its totally true... like a random skydiving adventure... oh wait... I might actually do that. Or going to Chicago at 3 in the morning... nvm, did that already... Be assured I'll think of something good, someday...
This is me just saying that I'm alive, that I almost forgot about the blog, and rambling like normal! :) Peace!

April Fools!
So hey! ITS APRIL FOOLS! and you know what that means... time to watch your back and don't trust anyone, all while trying to think up funny pranks to do to others. It sort of reminds me of HvZ (Humans versus Zombies) with the humans looking front, back, up, back, front, down, back, side, other side, back, front, back, up, back... well you get the point.... for any sign of a hungry zombie on the hunt for brainnnnns. Haha that's a funny scene I got to see a lot last week during the game. So glad I didn't play this semester, it's a lot more fun watching others freak out about "dying" than actually experiencing that for myself. (tho I will admit I really did enjoy playing with friends at night, but not so much during the day. Oh and playing with the nurf gun was fun too) ......
so anyways, BACK TO APRIL FOOLS!
As the years have progressed I've seemed to have lost my love and ability of pranking. As much as I hate to admit it, I just don't have the skill. :( After hearing about a friend practically trash his frat with dead crayfish in the showers and throwing AXE-bombs & fireworks into all the rooms, I've come to realize that my "baby" pranks are really actually quite pathetic compared to an expert's. But the thought of someone getting badly hurt (emotionally or physically) makes me feel mean instead of an accomplished prankster. So, as much as I wish I could do the pranks, I also really enjoy just hearing the stories or even seeing them happen without directly getting involved. Less guilt I have to deal with :) But on a side note, today my lovely family tried to make me believe that they were "almost to the boarder of Florida", as today is Jakey and Globo's first day of Spring Break. I almost believed my mom as I read her text, but as I was about to press the call button I remembered what day it was. Nice try, better luck next year! As for the rest of today, I hope to be impressed by some good pranks! It's a college campus, come on someone has got to have some great ideas!

I really don't know what I'm doing...
Well, this is random... Me actually getting a blog (besides for class) and thinking that I will actually write in it. Knowing me I will probably forget about it, or not know what to type about and end up not typing at all. So I think I'm going to dedicate this page for what it is named after, RANDOMOSITY! Although my computer did not think it was a word, I would like to say I strongly disagreed with it and set it straight by adding it to the dictionary. Take that computer, you don't know nada! (ok, maybe you do because half of that sentence was misspelled and underlined in red...) So anyways... now that I've established the name of this blog, and that spell check is both dumb and a lifesaver... I've completely lost my train of thought. Blogs just arn't for me... I'm not creative in writing, hate spelling and grammar, and bore even myself with my posts :) I guess the real reason I got this blog was to play with the backgrounds, post pictures, be able to see the stats page thingy-mo-bob that Britton was showing me, and to write random nonsense on my own personal (or not so personal) microscopic introspect of what we call the World Wide Web! So I'll be honest, I dont really know what introspect means (and neither does spell check, so HA), but it sounded like something I'd heard before so what the hay, it's staying! But ya, now that I've got that random tangent-rant out of the way... its time to figure out what to really write about so I don't waste my "microscopic introspect" :)
