All about Dorkface... I mean, Holly

Yes, to combat the evil done by my roommate, I shall retaliate. Muahaha.

Too much information about Holly Louise Ritchhart:

• Holly was born on September 20th, 1985 in Memphis, TN at St. Joseph's Hospital. She, unlike a guy we met freshman year named Cooter, was not the 2nd largest baby born there and did not come out holding a sandwich or having a deal to be the next linebacker for the 49ers.
• Holly is an only child... which should explain the rest of the weird things below.
• Holly had a gap the size of the Grand Canyon between her front teeth until she got braces in 10th grade.
• Holly is just like her mother. 'Nuff said.
• Holly likes to watch my FEMALE dog hump her leg until my mom proceeds to yell at her for doing so.
• Holly enjoys potty humor so much that she recently received the "Potty Training Award" at the last Bible study get together.
• Holly once made a video of her being an evil camera-woman crushing the invading ants on her kitchen counter.
• Holly once made a Wheel of Fortune video, and she gave herself a black unibrow and facial hair with black eyeliner. It looked nothing like Pat Sajak. I don't believe there was any form of a wheel either.
• Holly was obsessed with Britney Spears for several years (I'd say from 10th grade until last year) and commonly referred to her as "Britney" and "Brit." (They were so close they were on a first name basis...)
• Holly often found various people who had screennames and blogs calling themselves famous people and became their "friends." "Britney" often e-mailed her.
• Holly has (unless it's been removed) a larger-than-life head of Justin Timberlake taped near a mirror in her room that has a homemade quote bubble stating: "Oh, Holly-- you're so fine. Will you go out with me?"
• Holly laughs at inappropriate things, like the word "duty" during Care Group.
• Holly is attempting to become less crude.
• Holly does not use soap in the shower. She thinks shampoo and conditioner do enough cleansing.
• Holly apparently has a very keen sense of smell since she can detect even the smallest amount of sulfur dispensed in the air.
• Holly is afraid of children. Not deathly, just of holding them or having to be around them for more than 10 minutes without their parents there.
• Holly once freaked out that a spider the size of a piece of sand was repelling down into an open window and proceeded to jump into my side of the car while I was driving. I had to remove the spider from the vehicle as she crawled into the back seat.
• Holly is going to be a super senior, but hopefully not a super-duper senior.
• Holly plans out elaborate stories to repeat and begins retelling them immediately after they happen to make sure to include every word spoken and every weird detail. Sometimes they're rather hilarious.
• Holly cannot do laundry until her 55 gallon-sized laundry basket is completely full and the clothes are overflowing onto the floor.
• Holly has more shoes than normal people have hairs on their head.
• Holly is only person that really gets my sense of humor.
• Holly laughs at everything except planned jokes.
• Holly can only play Dance Dance Revolution by bouncing on her toes or snapping her fingers like it's show choir.
• Holly likes coffee... a little too much.
• Holly cannot impersonate Kermit the Frog. Ask her to try to say something besides "Kermit the Frog here."
• Holly likes to brush her teeth 4-5 times a day.
• Holly hates to drink water.
• Holly recently began eating fruit and vegetables. Maybe water will be next.
• Holly spends 2+ hours a day on her phone.
• Holly spends 2+ hours a day looking at profiles on facebook and all of their pictures, their friends pictures, and your mom's pictures.
• Holly likes really ugly or weird furniture.
• Holly's room is decked in leopard spots. (See above)
• Holly can handle my extremely mean humor.

I think that's a good note to end on although there's a lot more I could elaborate on. Enjoy!

All about Gabby, Part One

Well kiddies, after reading Squatty's post about his unique traits (which was totally spurred on by a conversation he and I had the night before regarding his taste in music), I decided to dedicate this post to my BFFFLBNOEWHM (best friend for flippin' life because no one else will have me).


Gabby, this one's for you.




Interesting Things About Gabrielle Marrissa Wells

• Gabby was born in Moberly, MO on September 24, 1985.
• Gabby severely dislikes most pictures I take of her.
• Gabby worked as a vet clinic tech for a summer and had to clean up animal poop all the time.

• Gabby does not like being poked in the armpit.

• Gabby and I have only hugged once in our 7+ years of friendship. We pretty much don't ever touch, unless it's to punch one another.
• Gabby and her fiancé James are ridiculously cute together.
• Gabby takes amazing pictures of flowers.
• When Gabby gets woken up or is extremely tired, she tends to talk like Napoleon Dynamite. For instance, a few months ago I knocked on her door and woke her up. When she opened the door I said, "Oh, were you asleep?" and she replied (a-la Nappy Dyno) "YES, what did you THINK?"
• Most of the time, Gabby laughs silently. You can only tell she's laughing by her body's convulsions.
• Gabby did not play an April Fool's Day prank on me this year, much to my suprise.

• Gabby really enjoys buying rip-off brands instead of name-brand items... like Dr. Thunder instead of Dr. Pepper, and Kroger Zips instead of Ritz. She's even bought generic Kool-Aid packets. I mean, really, how much money does that save you, like 3 cents?
• Gabby is one of the worst drivers I know.
• Gabby is ÜBER artistic. She can paint, draw, and photoshop things like none other. I bet when she was littler, she was the only kid in her class to color inside the lines.
• Gabby is pretty clumsy. She trips and falls off things quite a bit. Last week she completely ate it while getting off the couch.

I hope you all enjoyed this tribute to my homegirl. I know that after reading this she is going to make a post to get revenge, so check back soon.

Calling all tp rolls!

I'm working on a project and need to collect about 200 empty toilet paper or empty paper towel rolls (paper towel rolls= 2 t.p. rolls, so it'll save energy if they come in that form). I currently have 25, so I'm quite lacking. I've got 2 months, though. Anyone with lots of roomies or a toilet paper fetish willing to help collect some for me?

I think this is a better picture...

Countdown!

I just realized today that we only have 9 days until the end of classes and only 102 days till the wedding! Hooray! The last two weeks of class are a breeze for me (for once!) since all of my teachers are on schedules with 2 exams during the semester and 1 final. It's awesome. Plus one of my classes is art-- so I just have to do 3 paintings for our final project-- and one class is conditioning. It's a blessing to finally have an easy semester (now that it's my last full one!). I've got 2 economics classes in June and then I'll be done with college on July 7th! I guess the thought of "you have to go into the real world" isn't so daunting since I'll be married 22 days later and will busy out of my mind for those few weeks, but I think it'll be much better than classes. I'm going to hunt for jobs some more and study for the upcoming exams now. Wish me luck...

This is whom I live with...

That's right.... the crazy one in the back.

P.S. CCK's new website is SWEEEEEEEET.

YAY FOR SCHOOL.

I have a lot coming up in the next three weeks... papers, exams, art projects, and finals. So, if you would be ever so kind to keep me in your prayers, it would be greatly appreciated.

New game plan, folks...

As some of you may know, James and I had been making plans to live out in Oak Ridge at his uncle's place for probably minimal rent, so house shopping had been put on hold for an indefinite length of time. Wellll, James called this morning and said that the 84 Lumber in Oak Ridge is being shut down (stuff is being pulled off the shelves as I write this) along with the one on Clinton Hwy and 60 other stores around the nation. They said it was to consolidate based on last year's earnings, which were very poor with the old management in Oak Ridge but getting better this year with all new employees. Anyways, the only options for outside sales (which is what he'll finally be doing at a new store, I think) are in Sevierville and Madisonville. So it looks like North Knoxville is a better option for house hunting since it's 35 minutes to Sevierville from here and probably an hour and a half from Oliver Springs where we could stay for nearly free. God has a funny way of changing our plans. I was kind of excited to hear the news, and so was James. I guess I'll be looking for jobs more in downtown and North Knoxville rather than far west now, although I haven't really had any good leads yet. We shall see....
