Bank rolling - n. 1. Possessing rolls of money. Ex: She is not bank rolling.

I am definitely of the spontaneous persuasion. And my boyfriend is too. Which makes me very happy. :)

Last Tuesday, we were driving through 8 street on our way to FIU, and he mentioned, as he usually does:

"This street always makes me want to take a road trip." 

But, instead of me saying,

"Yeah, me too." 

He said, "Wanna go to Naples on Saturday?"

@________________@

I'm thinking, Naples, as in, on-the-the-side-of-the-state-of-Florida NAPLES???

"Really?"


"Yeah, let's do it."

So that's it, we're going to Naples, just like that.
That was Tuesday. Now today, Thursday, yup, more spontaneousness.

(I typed spontaneousNESS and Chrome suggested I change it to spontaneity, but it just doesn't do it for me, oh well.)

Anyway, I had to snapshot this, because I had to keep a memento of the instant when I almost urinated on myself:

Two dollars. Forty-three cents. Bank rollin.
This picture is appropriately labeled on my desktop "I AM PEEING RIGHT NOW". And yes I spent 17 dollars at Arby's. I love that place. The cherry turnovers are so good they should be illegal.

Anyway, 5-hundred-something dollars, just spent on 2 Ultra tickets. If my dad finds out I took that much money out of my savings account, he will kill me. Literally. I don't mean that as a euphemism.

I really don't.

Maybe I can convince him it's a long term investment? That I'm buying them early so I can sell them later to make a profit?

Nah, I didn't think so.

And then they end up in the water again.

Is it weird that every Tuesday and Thursday, when I'm passing by the fountain at the Business Complex at my university, I stop and look at the water to see if there are any beetles I can rescue?

I mean, they don't know what they're doing, right? I feel obligated to save them from what is sure to be an agonizing chlorine tasting death. Here's a picture of the fountain:

I know it's obscure, but I was trying to be all photographer-y.
Not to mention, while everyone is walking by watching me stick my hand into the fountain and fish out beetles, my boyfriend stands next to me with an expression that says, "I can't explain this." 

Which reminds me, I always save the bread I don't eat at FIU to give to the ducks by the pond:

Well, they were walking by the library.
Until I read that bread makes them sick and throws off their diet, making them dependent on humans.

And then I feel like a duck killer. 

I get depressed a little.

Until next Tuesday, when I save another beetle from drowning.

Hair Coloring Status

Today, my coworker told me that she saw someone crossing the street with purple hair and said, "Look! It's her!"

That's when I knew I'd taken my hair coloring to the next level.

This was me, about 3 weeks ago, with my all rainbow colored hair:

The wind was blowing, but you get the idea.
I had pink, blue, and blonde on top of my natural brown. This is me now, after going to a *professional* hair stylist and getting it dyed properly:

Pool party. :D
And I love it. Don't get me wrong, my colorful hair helped define my bubbly personality. But after several months of inhaling bleach fumes and staining the sink counter with dye, I realized it was just a phase. It was something I had always wanted to do, but never had the courage. I did it, and got it out of my system. And I'm glad.

To those of you who plan to have rainbow hair forever, more power to you. I love seeing colorful hair. But to those of you who have always wanted to dye your hair crazy colors but were always hesitant do it, and do it now. 

Unless you wanna be a grandparent with 50 cats and colorful hair.

Dan Savage is genius..

I know I'm extremely late, but I am just now learning about Dan Savage's view of monogamy. I have read his advice columns for some time, and his advice is a fresh variation from the "typical" advice columnist. He gives it to you straight forward, like it or not. And his advice makes sense. Its not always what you may consider "moral" or the "ethical" thing, but hey, life isn't always black and white. If it were, straight people wouldn't be writing to a gay advice columnist for advice. But anyway..

There a video on Youtube where he describes why monogamy isn't natural for humans and why we shouldn't push it, and it made so much sense to me. Its interesting to think that maybe, just maybe, the reason our marriages are failing, is because people assume that once you marry someone, you shouldn't be attracted to someone else. But you will be.

I also found some more videos that are hilarious and make you think, and this touching one that made me a bit teary eyed.

All in all, he's the coolest gay guy ever. I think his perspectives on life and marriage are on point, and I'm very interested in finding out more about him.
