still alive

To the concerned people who frequently read this, I am dead.

First off thanks for showing your concerns but no, I'm kidding. I lied, I just took a 4 month break. No not really I lied again, I was procrastinating. I mean I've been productive with my summer. I've been golfing. I started playing tennis again. I explored Iowa State and spent the week there. I managed to run into a mirror but I'll save that story for later.


I turned 19 just a few weeks ago. Yayyy right?

No it is not yayyy.

I don't even act or look like I'm 19. That's another story I will save for later. I'm more like on the 12-13 side with a mental age of 10 or maybe 9 because 10 year olds these days are pretty extreme with their iphones and sense of fashion. Compared to me who still wants cartoon shirts, plays with toys, and loves cartoons.
 
Anyways,

The highlight of my summer so far was that I watched both the French Open and the Wimbledon without missing a day.

I just want to say that Maria Sharapova is playing great again. She's a beast. I'm proud to say I've been a fan of hers since I was 10. Dedication of a die hard fan? Very much so.

I found my 2nd and 3rd favorite players. Victoria Azarenka and Laura Robson. I like their playing styles.

Even though she was the runner up and lost in the Wimbledon final she played great.

I can't wait for the US open now.

Lazyyy

I should be working on posts right now but I'm not because I suck. I just sit and do nothing. I'm so lazy it's sad. One day I'm going to drown in my own ocean of laziness and procrastination. Saving me won't do much because I'll probably be too lazy to make an effort to get help.

Oh yeah to the people who thought I was dead. I am very much alive. You're welcome.

Side Story

So I totally lied about working on the new post. I am super sorry. Things like to slip my mind a lot. How do I get through life with horrible memory? I have no idea. That is a good question. On the other hand, here is a story that should keep you occupied as I attempt to work on the other post again once again.

My Christmas break was pretty interesting. My friends said I fell off the face of the earth for a bit. It's probably true, it tends to happen a lot. The time when I was back on the face of the earth, I had a story for almost each day. I'll share one to occupy you guys.


Ohhhh McDonald's how I love you

Except for the fact that I embarrassed myself in front of a bunch of random people.

How you ask? Wellll I get pretty excited when I get food from there. That day I was a little too excited since I haven't ate there for 2 months and I missed my precious chicken nuggets.

Sooo as I was walking out to my car, my joy from getting my beloved nuggets took over my senses. Somehow, I didn't look where I was going and I missed stepping on the curb and fell into the road. I was alright, I think, my head was randomly bleeding and I had a few scrapes, no big deal. Anyways, the result of me face planting on the road led to having my food fall all over the street. It was horrible. My poor chicken nuggets. 

At first I didn't know what to do so I just sat there for like a minute. Then I started picking the food up but then I thought to myself ahhh I'm dumb and the food was already tainted, plus the ugly nasty dirt snow on the ground didn't really help my food look as delicious either. So as I looked back to the restaurant, I don't even know why I did, I saw the people in the booths were staring. It was awesome. At that point, I was panicking and cars were coming - note - I was still on the ground scared and still kind of deciding what to do.

Not knowing what to do in this situation, I ran away and drove off. I was still hungry since my lunch was all over the parking lot and I really didn't feel like dying from eating tainted food. So I went to the next closest McDonald's and got myself some food this time through the drive thru, to contain the overwhelming feelings.

Ohh good times.


P.S- Carrie and Emily if you are reading this good luck!!!!!

Back to School

I've been slacking off A LOT and I apologize for being super lazy. I just got back to school last Sunday and this is my second week of classes so I've been kinda busy.

To make matters worse, my roommate moved out so I'm TV-less which is horrible because I love TV and the Australian open is on.

I bet a lot of you are wondering why doesn't Arisa make new posts on her blog with all the free time? Wellll I would but I spend half of my free time sitting in my room in silence. Did you laugh a little? It wasn't a joke. This is a serious matter.

So to pass my free time when I don't have homework or golf practice/workouts, I made myself a twitter with the help of my friend. It's not really going well at the moment cause it looks like nonsense to me and confuses me but feel free to follow me and don't worry I'm working on a new post as we speak, well not really cause I'm not speaking but you know what I mean.

Peeling Veggies Part 2

Hiya sooo before you start reading this you should definitely consider reading the first part to understand this more if you already haven't. 

You remember when I said I loved peeling veggies? I lied. I hate peeling potatoes with a passion because they're secretly evil. Peeling potatoes frustrates me and I'm the type of person who never gets mad. If you ever decide to enter me in a potato peeling contest please don't. I will probably lose, come in last and embarrass you. Just a fair warning.

My best friend thought it would be funny to get me a sack of potatoes for Christmas because she knows just looking at potatoes makes me mad. What she doesn't know is I'm practicing to potato her house very soon. Good thing she has brick walls maybe we can make mash potatoes after.

The past week hasn't been so fun for me and it was suppose to cause its the first real week I got to spend at home since august. Let me tell you about the time I had to peel the worst potatoes ever. Soo I expected to come home and relax because college is pretty stressful but instead, I spend my week especially Christmas peeling carrots and potatoes. I really don't mind carrots but potatoes are a NO. I don't think my mom understands that I hate peeling potatoes. I give her the obvious hint - like when she brings out the potato sack I run away.

The worst part about peeling potatoes is that I have a time limit of when they need to be done. Every time my mom tells me when the potatoes need to be done, I try to tell her its impossible to finish it on time because I'm so slow at peeling potatoes but nooo she never listens.

Normally my mom wouldn't freak out as much when it takes me twenty minutes to peel a potato but that day was the day of our annual kind of Christmas dinner party and my mom was rushing to make lots of food for our guests. I learned that day to never cross my mom when she's stressed and making food. Also being incapable of peeling potatoes like a normal person didn't really lighten her mood either.

Okay so majority of the time when I'm trying to explain stuff to my mom it usually ends up in a kinda argument and this is how it went down.
Note- the kinda argument was like a mixture of Laotian and English. I tried my best to translate it.

Mom- How does it take you 20 minutes just to peel one potato? Really?
Me- Mommm you don't understa-
Mom- No it doesn't take me 20 minutes just to peel a potato when I can peel 6 
Me- Well I'm sorry I don't have magical potato peeling powers like you do
Me - And its taking me forever because you bought the ugliest potatoes ever
Mom- Why are you talking when you could be peeling?
Mom- Oh and I still need 4 potatoes


What I meant by ugly potatoes is deformed potatoes. It really doesn't make potato peeling much faster when I have the worst sack of deformed potatoes. Remember when I said potatoes are evil? Welll deformed potatoes are the evilest of them all. If they had faces I bet they would be laughing and taunting me right now.

And because of evil deformed potatoes, I spent my first relaxing week at home and Christmas slaving away in the kitchen peeling potatoes.

Peeling Veggies

Hi, my name is Arisa and I'm a veggie peeling addict. Its a weird addiction, I know and I think I'm the only one who thinks peeling veggies is exciting. Yeah you probably think I'm a huge weirdo but don't cross me and peeling carrots because I am a master at peeling carrots, no joke. If there's ever a carrot peeling contest and you decide to join, be prepared to lose.

It's almost like I have a 6th sense for when its time to peel carrots.

Random Dancing

You probably think this blog is weird and random. It wouldn't be weird if I wasn't weird and I'm a very weird kid, I'm not going to lie. But really, who wants to read a plain blog about some random kid shoveling snow or going to the store? I know I wouldn't, well maybe. Well one of the weird things I like to do that I'll share today that I'm sure a lot of people share with me - I like to randomly dance.

My little brother and everyone who's experience me randomly dancing thinks I'm a weirdo because I like to randomly dance out of no where, especially when I'm back home cause that's where all the dance inside of me comes out. Sometimes you just have the feeling that you need to dance right? Its okay your not alone cause I get the feeling too. The dancing doesn't even have to be good, I mean the random dancing I do isn't special its just me running, spinning and doing the Hannah Montana's nobody's perfect dance where she moves her arms up and down. I'm kind of sure people get a kick out of me dancing except my little brother (booo). He always tells me to stop but jeez who does he think he is the dance police?

That was a really lame comeback but its what I've been telling him every time he tells me to stop. But why would stop? It's my job to annoy my brother because what are siblings for? (plus it's pretty entertaining seeing him annoyed) So to all the people who randomly dance you're not alone and if it annoys your siblings, keep on dancing.
