School.... It is sucking my soul.....

Hey There!
 
I wish I could  be blogging more, I really do.  Unfortunately school is an evil soul sucking bitch.  :(  
 
I did take a thought catalog 'break'  and was reading some articles when I  just woke up. 
I was reading 30 Greatest Quotes About Women, and here are some quotes that I like:
 
Women are made to be loved, not understood.  
-Oscar Wilde
Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men. 
-Joseph Conrad
I like intelligent women. When you go out, it shouldn’t be a staring contest.  
-Frank Sinatra
...Good ol' Frankie.  Us smart girls are good things.:)

Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.  
-Coco Chanel
Preach it Coco!

There are only two types of women — goddesses and doormats.  
-Pablo Picasso
Always be a Goddess. Never anyone's doormat.

Pentacle & Phi Facts

So I was going through some of my old papers, and I found a list of facts about pentacles!  I know I enjoy facts, why not share them?
 
I think I gathered these from the Da Vinci Code. 
 
Pentacle Facts:
  • Assossiates with Nature Worship
  • The ancients envisioned their world in two halfs, masculine and feminin.  When balanced there is harmony, when not in balance there is chaos.
  • The planet Venus makes a perfectpentacle every eight years
  • venus and herpentacle become a symbol of perfection, beauty, and the cyclic qualities of sex.
  • The eight year cycle was used to organize Olympic games
Phi Facts:
  • Is considered to be the divine proportion, 1.618
  • Is the number of female bees to male bees in a honeybee community.  [f:m=1.618]
  • Apparently its the ratio from your Shoulder to fingertips : Elbow to fingertip
  • Hip to floor : Knee to floor
  • head to floor : Belly button to floor
  • In a pentagram the lines automatically divide themselves in the Phi Ratio.

 Well.  Sorry if this isn't that fun.  I just needed to get them out of this book.  And I do like them.  Feel free to add more facts if you know any!

Road Trip!

Some of my family is going to Baltimore, then Washington D.C.  Super jealous.  Though not of the road trip part - I kind of have an excellent case of motion sickness.  
BUT - If you are planning on going a road trip soon, I read this article on Thought Catalog called, '9 Ways to Guarantee Your Road Trip Won't Suck'.
I hope this makes your road trip a little more enjoyable!

What is Poking all About Anyways?

On facebook you can poke another person.  To which I would like to inquire as to the purpose of when one pokes another person, using facebook. 
 
I know when I poke Mara, it's just no big deal. We're just goofing around. 
But when my ex, aka, the Boy pokes me - I just have no clue what is going on in his head.  Before we started to date, this is how he began to flirt.  This past Sunday was his birthday, and he decided that his birthday was the ideal day to poke me.  So naturally I was wondering what should I do?  I wasn't planning on wishing him a happy birthday.  I wasn't ready for that.  But he initiated contact with me.  So I texted him, 'Hey. Hope you're having a good Birthday!'  He never responded.  Naturally that annoyed me. Why don't you respond to me?  You're the one who initiated contact today.  Why do you not text me back????
So I decided to poke him back, and then messaged him, "hey! Hope you're having a good Birthday!"  That's two exclamation marks.  So much more exciting.  haha.  But he eventually said 'thanks' to it.   I decided that was an inadequate response. In hopes of making him feel awkward and try to force him to start a conversation, I said 'No Trouble.'  Sadly that tactic did not work.  he did not talk to me the rest of the evening. 
Monday Morning he began poking me.  Naturally I cannot let him win.  So I kept poking him back. Because he cannot win.  But what if this is him flirting with me again?  I cannot date him again.  Well.  I Shouldn't.  I am tired of being alone though.  And he is so nice... and comfy.  And fun.And I miss making out with him. It was fun. BUT, lets be reasonable here.  Religion, well better stated, his lack of religion is a serious issue for me.  And I don't think he is comfortable with me having faith. That isn't a great equation fora goodlong relationship.
Silly logic.

Talking about... The D.

This past weekend I was messaging my drunken best friend Matt.  It was around midnight.  Earlier in the evening we were talking about his ex girlfriend, and how when they broke up I was friends with both of them.  But now My loyalties are only with him, if he wanted to ask anything.  To which He decided to begin asking questions about that at midnight.  
 
Sometimes he is just so poetic. He messages me, 'Does she want my d? That be fun. her sister is hot too.'  and naturally I, in hopes to make this conversation to awkward to go on, refer to 'd' as his dick[which he was obviously insuating] and go on to tell him the sister is jail bait.  And as the conversation keeps going on, and he asks about different people wanting his 'd'  and eventually I get fed up with him refering to his dick as 'd' and ask why he does so, all I got was 'Cuz its quicker.'  That's lame. 
But I found that confusing.  And weird.  
 
But with that story having just happened in my life, I found these tweets to be amusing.  I figured a laugh is always appreciated. 




Hope you have a wonderful night and a marvelous tomorrow!
