Texting 1,2,3.

Dear creator of texting.. I have a bone to pick with you.

Texting has made daily communication easy, a simple request quick and fast, and a casual hello endless. I feel that because of this invention I have lost my proper phone etiquette and I use poor texting etiquette. I was reminded today when I was out with a friend, texting is rude. Its not rude to say excuse me its just a quick convo to figure something out, its rude to have a continuous texting conversation throughout the evening when you are with a real person. If the conversation is that important, pick up the phone and call them and figure it out quicker. Or politely excuse yourself to the textee and say I'm out with a friend can I text you later? There's no doubt that the person would not be offended by that. So why don't we do it? I'll be honest I'm victim to this, I've had long drawn out unnecessary conversations over text in front of a group of friends. I've even done it when I'm one on one with someone. The point comes to this, if you text when you are with someone think to yourself, would I be talking to this person right now if they called me? If the answer is no, put the phone down and talk to the person right in front of you. Cuz you know its time that I stop getting mad at myself and my friends for doing something so easily fixable.

So please texter creator don't be upset with me, just understand that I'm sick of being mad at people for table texting, sexting, or surfing the Internet when I'm not interesting enough to talk to.

Love Stina.

Alright:

This is why I haven't been blogging, My horoscope today:

You need to give a lot today and even if you get to celebrate a holiday with your family, the day still might take its toll. You may feel as if you are treading water while the current keeps carrying you backward, but this is just a temporary effect of Mercury retrograde in your sign. Luckily, you know a thing or two about patience and, fortunately, it will be rewarded soon enough.

I'm in a one step forward two steps back rut and I don't want to complain about it so I don't blog about it.

This is why. I'm sorry.

San Diego

I am on Spring Break this week, and my parents wanted to spend a day with me. My idea of of a good time was to go to the San Diego Zoo! I had sooo much fun, and I love taking pictures of animals. They were ridiculously active so I got some great shots. I don't have a fancy camera.. but occasionally I get pictures that look like they can go on postcards, no flaws... Here are some that I love. Also I didnt realize how they loaded, so it goes from latest in the day until the first part. Enjoy =].

Time.

An anniversary, a tradition, anything that makes you think of a day one year ago. Today is a kinda anniversary for me. One year ago I began the biggest growing experience of my life so far, and I'm looking at what has happened through out the year. My old relationships have grown, I found out who were my true friends and my three M's were there to save me from sinking too far. I also had people who were just friends have now become really close to me. I have lost 30 pounds and my hair is 8in shorter. I feel like I am in such a better place but I am also a completely different person. I've actually dated (good and bad) and well I'm happy with where I am right now. This time next year I'll be in my last semester of school and just about ready to get a job and move out on my own.. 365 days until that comes, I'm thrilled for whats next.

I wanted to thank and tell all of you that I love you and I'm grateful for every single one of you.

Oh Mmm Gee

I've been so busy! Holy crap. I can never find the time to sit down and type. I feel like I'm always going going going work, school, study groups, etc. Here are some of the fun things that I have done since I posted last.

March 7th I went to an Irish fair in the boones of Riverside.. but I had SOO much fun!

When we were there I didn't drink any Guinness but I did see these adorable "sheepdogs" in action, I was surprised I got these two to turn and look at me!

Here are some action shots:

These were all the puppys they are all turned the same way because they are ready to work and are following the sheep!

My stupid camera died after this but I got to see guys use bag pipes and saw a bunch of baby boys wearing kilts! It was adorable. I can't wait to go back with my parents next year.

Cut to this Friday the 13th.

I got to go see Joel Mchale, he does the show called the soup. I went with Jon and we got there early got some CPK myyy favorite and then headed to the show. I was brave and wore heels and don't regret it at all! The coolest thing that happened was when we got there we had these seats:

Then these old people next to us said they had some tickets for "down there" and were wondering if we wanted to trade seats, we agreed thinking that they were front teir seats.. no no.. they were SO much better!! We moved HERE:

Woo!! so this totally made the night.. we watch Joel and then headed home, I had a rockin migraine so the night ended there.. I was also babysitting a dog so I had to keep him fed and happy!

So that was my month, oh yeah. I cut my hair ;)

Enjoy the pictures. I promise I won't take so long next time.
