Don't worry, it's been de-inked.
Apparently, fashion and decapitation go hand in hand?
Ok, I might make this one.
Maybe something that a geriatric stripper would wear around the club?

Cro-shame
My first year in law school, I started to knit and crochet as a stress reliever. Now, I'm obsessed. I make classy items however. I would post pictures, but I'm not the type to take pictures of beanies and scarves that I've made. Sorry. Anyways, earlier this evening, I came across this blog. There are some hilarious, hideous and disturbing pictures on this page. Here are some of my favorites:

Hairy Kate and Trashley Olsen
This cracked me up, mainly because PETA is 100% serious about this page. Seriously, you gotta go to the dress up portion.
Cheesy emails
You all get them...prayer of the day...sad story about a dying child/dog/elder that is suppose to teach you a life lesson...pictures of cute animals that send a message about friendship. You get the point.
My mom sends me a lot of these emails, because she gets a lot from her friends. Usually, I read them, get a giggle out of their cheesy nature and discard. Today, I got one from my mom that actually had a lot of great things to say. Here are some of the ones I found to be the most true/useful.
I believe:
- That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
- That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
- That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
- That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
- That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
- That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
- That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
- That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
- That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
- That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

Netflix dilemma
So I recently joined Netflix and I'm loving it. I had my queue as such so that I would always have one scary movie, one comedy and one documentary/television show. However, somehow this got messed up. Now I have 3 scary movies, and I won't watch them, because I'm worried that if I watch them at night I won't be able to go to sleep (I'm a wuss). But it's just not right to watch a scary movie on a Saturday morning. So I think I'm just going to send all three back, because I really want to get Superbad, the Waitress and this "Ambience" dvd that plays cool things like a fireplace or aquarium on my NEW HIGH DEF TV!
By the way, for those of you who don't have netflix, let me tell you why I love it. It's super cheap. It's not just movies. It's tv shows, workout videos (i.e. Billy Blanks), instructional videos (i.e. Learn everything there is to know about wine and vineyards), and movies in 3d...which I'm overly excited about.
By the way, goal by Monday: go see "Sea Monsters in 3D" at the IMAX...gotta get excited like a 4 year old for 3D!

Circle circle dot dot
And now, a quote from Demetri Martin:
"Glitter is the herpes of craft supplies."
Now that I'm back from Australia...
Not really, but I wish. I've been in beautiful Tulsa this whole time making the official transition from childhood to adulthood. I'm telling you now, it's not fun. I miss sleeping in, going to the dog park with the babies, and free time. I have none now. I'm working 2 jobs and barely have time to spoil my little puppies. But I guess I can't complain, because most people have to do this eventually, but there's a part of me that wishes I was an heiress and could just do whatever I want all day long, and if I ever get "exhausted", just check into rehab for a week or two.
Anyways, this is my valiant effort at updating my blog. I need to start doing this again on a daily basis as a little escape from reality. By the way, for those of you out there who loved Mitch Hedberg as much as I did, there's a somewhat new comedian who has a very similar style, and he is just awesome. I will post some of his material tomorrow...

Sir Limps-A-Lot
So Sunday night I started experiencing some moderate pain in my right foot whenever I put weight on it. I figured it was from the 7 hour shift that I pulled Saturday night waiting tables. I hosted yesterday and tried my hardest to hide my limp, but it was last night that the pain when from moderate to severe, and from only when I put weight on it to constant.
I'm going to head over to get some x-rays and see what the heck is going on.
On a brighter note, after I get my foot checked out, I'm going over to look at some chihuahuas, and hopefully I'll have a new addition to my home by the end of the day.

Quarter Life
So, I've never been good at confronting people, whether it's telling someone what you want out of your job, telling someone they're being a dick or just telling someone that they've hurt my feelings. It's always been my biggest weakness. Well, I don't know what has happened to me in the last week and a half, but I'm starting to confront people, like immediately. And it doesn't even phase me.
Now, don't get me wrong, if I don't care about you, I'm not going to use any energy to confront you, but if I do care about you, I will.
Confrontation #1 "Hire me!"
Called a particular office and basically said, "Hey, I'm willing to wait tables for the next 3 months until there is a job opening, but you need to call me when you get an opening, because I've been trying to work there for the past 2 years, and I probably have more passion then half the people who work for you".
Confrontation #2 "Shut the hell up"
Emailed a person I thought was a friend of mine, but that I heard was talking shit and basically told her to stop talking about me period.
Confrontation #3 "Get over yourself"
Asked a friend to stop avoiding spending time with me because he hates one or several of my friends. Told him that it's starting to hit me personally and that he can't just blow off celebrations like my birthday because there's a person present who pissed him off 8 months ago.
I think/hope this is good for me, especially since I've always been such a damn wuss about everything. But the way I see it, if someone is doing something to hurt me, or there's something that I want, I need to speak up, or else I'm just going to dwell on it and nothing is ever going to come of it.
Ah...becoming an adult...

I'm not really a waitress...
I've had a busy and very fun week since I found out that I passed the bar exam. Friday night was unbelievably fun. We went to In the Raw for a fabulous dinner, then to Jewel, Brookside Bar and Another Round. It was pouring down rain, so I did get soaked, but it didn't make a difference. I could tell exactly when the alcohol started to take over as soon as I started going up to people and exclaiming, "I'm a Lawya!" Good times :)
Yesterday, I had my first experience at the Tulsa Zoo, and let me tell you, it smelled bad, but I cannot get enough of all those little animals. My favorites were the monkeys, the extremely fat frog and the sea lions.
Last night, I tried something out that I've always wanted to do. I went to a trivia night at Prive. It was so much fun. We had a huge group and even though we got 3rd place, we all had a blast, and fairly small bar tabs (apparently Prive is closing down, so it seems that they are practically giving away drinks). I dunno.
Today, I got a job. No, not a job as an attorney...but a job as a waitress AND bartender. I just went in for the serving job, but she asked me if I could start bartending Saturday and Sunday brunch and lunch. This will be perfect, because now I can take my time finding a law job and wait for a really great job. Plus, once I start working as a lawyer, I can still work a few shifts a week at the restaurant for extra money.
Another thing that happened today, was one of my attorney friends got appointed as the conflict attorney for our county, which means, whenever there is a conflict (usually for child abuse and domestic violence) between child and parent, he represents the child. AND he said he wants me to help him out, which means, I'll get experience in something I love, and again, make some more money until I figure out what it is that I'm going to do with this law degree.
Alright, well, I'm tired, I had a very long happy hour today and it's time to lay down.

*truth*
This little woman turned 100 today and has been smoking since she was 7 years old in 1914.
I'd like to see one of those truth.com commercials that says, "but hey, maybe you'll be lucky like this woman, because all it really comes down to is genetics. Or maybe you'll follow our lead, quit smoking and then die in a car accident...just a thought."
Ah, the irony.
All this free time...
...and nothing to do but prepare for failure.
Now that the bar exam is over and I've returned from my post-bar vacation, I now have tons of free time. I don't even want to think about a job right now, not until I get my bar results. Today, I got up around 10:30, cleaned my house, went grocery shopping, cooked, worked out and took Jack to the dog park. And now I'm back at home and I'm looking around and the thought of laying around watching tv just makes me anxious. The more I sit around and do nothing, the more I think about the bar exam and plan for possible situation that I did not pass.
Things that have been going through my head about possibly failing the bar:
-If I fail, I will dress up as somebody really stupid for Halloween, like Jessica Simpson or one of the Olly girls from Sunset Tan. This goes along with a mantra that I hold on strong to: If I don't laugh at myself, I'll probably end up crying, so it's best just to laugh.
-If I fail, I will immediately enroll in a 2 week bartending course and get a job somewhere as a bartender until I start studying for the bar again.
-If I fail, I will suck it up and go celebrate with all my friends who did pass, because that's probably better than crying by myself in my apartment all next weekend.
-If I fail, I will tell people who are oblivious to the fact that the scores already came out that I took the Texas bar exam and have to wait till November to find out if I passed or not...you know, just to save face.
-I've been making an "at least I'm not" list in my head to make me feel better about my life. I.e. At least I'm not so-and-so, who just got pregnant with her 3rd kid...because who wants to have 3 kids right now? Not me :) And at least I'm not Evan Rachel Wood, because then I would be sleeping with Marilyn Manson...and well, ew.
I'm glad I'm not working right now, but I kind of wish I was in school for something. Maybe I'll start going to that ceramics place and make some pots. I guess I could get back to painting, I just feel so artistically unmotivated right now. Any suggestions?

Like such as in South Africa?
So the Miss Teen USA Pageant was on tonight so, of course, I was at home watching it. My 2 favorites: New Jersey and South Carolina. South Carolina got 3rd Runner Up and New Jersey was 1st Runner Up. Colorado won...cute cute girl.
Well, South Carolina is absolutely gorgeous, you just have no idea, but the second the poor girl opened her mouth...it was well, here is her answer to the final question.
Question: Recent polls have shown 1/5 of Americans can't locate the
U.S. on a world map, why do you think this is?
Answer: I personally believe -that us Americans are unable to do so -
because - uh - some people out there in our nation- don't have maps
and - uh I believe that our education- like such as in South Africa ,
and the Iraq everywhere - like such as - and I believe that they
should - our education over here in the U.S. - should help the U.S. -
help South Africa and sould help the Iraq and the (the bell DING)
Asion cuntires so we will be able to build up our future for our
children.

Baby that butt's so scandelous
This is a picture of me at approximately the age of 5. I never liked my bottom to be covered and that's why I prefer the thong. But unfortunately, Baby Gap hasn't come out with the thong for toddlers yet :( It's okay though, I took care of business.
The last conversation...
...between my mother and me before I left Austin to return to Tulsa.
Mom: What is this? (referring to the picture below)
Me: Oh, that's something that Meme drew for me last night.
Mom: Really? Really? I love cock in my ass? Really classy...
Me: Alright, well, I'm going to go get on a plane and leave the state. I love you!
Thanks Meme!

Jetlag...boo
Got back from Europe...I was suppose to hang out with one of my best friends last night, but my jetlagged ass fell asleep at 5pm yesterday and here I am now, wide awake at almost 4am. Go away jetlag!

Bon Voyage
I got my luggage back, just in the nick of time. Apparently, a large black suitcase with white polka dots and a hot pink luggage tag appears to be a security breach. Turns out, my luggage never even left Tulsa...it got held up in security...what?!? And even worse, I had to drive all the way out to the airport and pick it up myself. You'd think they would deliver it, but no.
So I leave bright and early at 7am to fly out to DC, then to Frankfurt, Germany, and finally to Barcelona where we will board the cruise. It will be a long day, but I'm so thrilled to walk onto our boat.
I probably won't be blogging again until I get back on the 22nd...so I guess, say a little prayer that our plane doesn't go down in the middle of the Atlantic...I will be on a lot of meds (I'm terrified of flying, especially overseas).
Ciao!

Updateriffic
1. I'm in Austin, just flew down here today so that my mom and I can fly together to Europe.
2. The airline lost my luggage and have no clue where it could have gone. This means that I have nothing to take on my cruise on Wednesday, so it I don't get my luggage back by morning, I will spend the day shopping for new clothes, socks, underwear, bras, toothbrush, shoes, bathing suit...not the fun shopping trip it may sound like.
3. After calling me and saying that he really wanted to see me before I left for Europe, and that we should get together this weekend, the guy I've been talking to/seeing/dating/whatever, completely blew me off all weekend. Then I ran into him at a bar while he was on a date with another chick. Granted, I wasn't that into him to begin with, but that kind of treatment still pisses me off. And really, it wasn't that he is seeing other girls, I have no problem with that, but running into him after he blew me off and then he acted like it was nothing.
4. My best little squirrel Meme is stuck in San Antonio, because her purse was stolen and she can't get her car started without her keys. Hopefully she will be back in the morning so we can play, or shop, whatever is in the mix.
5. I'm excited about the cruise, but wish I had my luggage...but regardless, it will be so nice to get away and relax on the Mediterranean.
6. I'm going to miss my little Jack so much, but he's in good hands. Megan and Kelso are splitting custody of the little dude...god, he and I haven't been apart from each other longer than 8 days.
Hopefully, I will get to blog a little while I'm on the cruise, but I'm guessing that the internet is going to be wicked expensive, so Europe blogging will possibly have to wait a few weeks.
Ciao!

The Post-Bar Exam Post
1. The essay portion of the bar exam was not too bad. There weren't any ridiculous questions that were completely out of left field, like usual, and I feel like I followed all the instructions, CRAC etc. All in all, I'm pretty sure that I passed the essay portion and I'm hoping I even got extra points to help out my MBE score if I need it.
2. The MBE sucked...SUCKED. I'm just so exhausted I don't want to even talk about it anymore, but I'm praying that I passed.
3. On the MBE day, I walked out of the Tulsa Convention Center for our 40 minutes lunch break and immediately got a phone call from my landlord telling me that my apartment got broken into and that I needed to come home and talk to the police. So I dash home, walk in to see: my closet had been ransacked, all my jewelry was gone, my kitchen window was broken, my dishwasher was kicked in, there was liquid make-up poured all over my vanity table and there was blood wiped on my walls.
The police caught him running down the street, so I was able to go and retrieve my belongings and get back to the bar exam just in time to do the shitty afternoon portion.
Here is a picture of the guy...I think he was in the middle of a meth binge.
4. I am very thankful that Jack wasn't at home during the break-in. He was at Jackie's apartment...so thankful, because he would have been roadkill, seriously. I'm also thankful that me, Kelli and/or Sara weren't there studying, like usual. Ew, that would have been freaky.
More blogging to come, time to relax.

Bar Review = Pregnancy
Why studying for the bar exam is like being pregnant:
-Although you try with all possible effort, you are bound to gain a good 10-30 pounds.
-The mood swings: the only people who don't annoy are the people who are experiencing it with you or have experienced it before.
-The desire to drink, but the obligation to abstain from it.
-The closer you get to that final day, you teeter between two emotions: (1) the terror of going through such a horrific and long (sometimes over 15 hours) experience and (2) the overwhelming excitement to just be done with it.
-You wonder if the end result is what you wanted in the first place.
-You could not own enough pairs of elastic pants.
-You go back and forth between resenting what is going to result after months of agonizing preparation, and cherishing it.
-The muscle aches, the back pains, and the non-stop desire but inability to sleep.
-When people find out what you're going through, they feel that it is their duty to tell you their horror stories about when they went through it.
-It's a personal choice, that many come to regret, until they reach the end.
-Complete abstinence is the only way to guarantee that it won't ruin your life.
-It leads to great results, if carried through its distant, bloody end.
-A bizarre wardrobe that you never want to see again after it's over.
-You know there is a lot to be happy about, but you have nothing to show for it.
-Breathing exercises, people...breathing exercises.
-Numerous exams are taken in preparation to make sure everything will be alright.
-A practice run to the testing center/hospital is a must.
-Final preparations are made, including packing a suitcase/clear ziplock bag.
-Costs thousands of dollars...pushing most into debt, while they have no earning capacity.
-If you don't succeed the first time, your chances of succeeding the next time are cut in half.
Unfortunately, expectant mothers don't have to go through 3 years of schooling, spend up nearly $100k and pass a character and fitness test in order to have a child...
-Although you try with all possible effort, you are bound to gain a good 10-30 pounds.
-The mood swings: the only people who don't annoy are the people who are experiencing it with you or have experienced it before.
-The desire to drink, but the obligation to abstain from it.
-The closer you get to that final day, you teeter between two emotions: (1) the terror of going through such a horrific and long (sometimes over 15 hours) experience and (2) the overwhelming excitement to just be done with it.
-You wonder if the end result is what you wanted in the first place.
-You could not own enough pairs of elastic pants.
-You go back and forth between resenting what is going to result after months of agonizing preparation, and cherishing it.
-The muscle aches, the back pains, and the non-stop desire but inability to sleep.
-When people find out what you're going through, they feel that it is their duty to tell you their horror stories about when they went through it.
-It's a personal choice, that many come to regret, until they reach the end.
-Complete abstinence is the only way to guarantee that it won't ruin your life.

I might be losing it...
So, I spend quite a lot of time studying for the bar exam at Panera Bread, since I have a gift card there and they have free wifi. Well, I made this outline several days ago and didn't notice this little mistake until 2 days later. Yeah, it's suppose to say "Commercial Paper".
And today, it was sad, I got really excited about buying new highlighters and number 2 pencils. This is what has become of my life.

"Malicious cockblocking carries punitive damages."
The Tort of Cockblocking
§ 1.1 - Overview and General Definitions
(a) Cockblocking is defined in the common law as an unlawful interference by the cockblocker with the cockblockee's chances of getting play from the target. The target must be a specific person; merely throwing off the cockblockee's game is insufficient. To analogize from Justice Cardozo, proof of cockblocking in the air, so to speak, will not do. See Martin v. Herzog, 126 N.E. 814, 816 (N.Y. 1920).
(b) The cockblocker is the person who engages in cockblocking, that is, the actual tortfeasor.
(c) The cockblockee is the person who was cockblocked. Only the cockblockee has standing to sue on a claim of cockblocking, although the law of agency may apply under appropriate circumstances.
(d) The target is the person from whom play was sought by the cockblockee.
(e) For the purposes of this treatise, the cockblockee will be assumed to be male and the target female; the cockblockee will be assumed to be male or female, depending on the type of cockblocking at issue. However, any actor may be male or female.
§ 1.2 - Play
It is not necessary that the plaintiff would have actually engaged in intercourse with the target; rather, there must only have been a substantial likelihood that the cockblockee would have hooked up. While to be actionable, cockblocking requires something more than a mere kiss, what counts as "play" shall be determined with reference to the local community in which the encounter took place. For example, evidence that the cockblockee would have engaged in a "hot make-out session" may be all that is required (for example, at a high school party), while other times the cockblockee must prove that "dude, she would have totally gone down on me" in others, see, e.g., College.
Note how characterization of the facts underlying "play" alter the claim. For example:
A meets B at a bar and they hit it off. They soon begin making out heavily. C, jealous of her friend, demands that B go home with her. C could potentially argue that she did not "prevent" A from getting play from B because they had already been playing serious tonsil-hockey at the bar. However, A could argue that he would have gotten to third base, had C not interfered and B come home with him. At this point, the court would have to consider questions of proximate cause in deciding on how it ought to characterize the alleged prevented "play."
§ 1.3 - Chances of Getting Play from the Target
The cockblockee's chances of actually getting play from the target is always a question for the trier of fact. Proof may be had by direct or circumstantial evidence. Notwithstanding any statutes or rules of evidence to the contrary, the target's sexual history is almost always relevant to determining the cockblockee's chances; such history may include, but is not limited to the target's preferred "type," the target's "easiness" (including when alcohol is involved), and any prior play from target recieved by the cockblockee.
§ 2.1 - Types of Cockblocking
The law recognizes three types of cockblocking: negligent cockblocking, intentional cockblocking, and malicious cockblocking.
§ 2.2 - Negligent Cockblocking
The cockblocker negligently cockblocks the cockblockee if his conduct poses an unreasonable risk of interfering with the cockblockee's chances of getting play from the target, and that he should have been aware of such risk.
§ 2.21 - Unreasonable Interference
The cockblocker's conduct must pose an unreasonable risk of interfering with the cockblockee's chances of hooking up with the target. What consitutes an unreasonable risk will be weighed relative to the cockblockee's actual chances of getting play from the target. The cockblockee's chances must therefore be measured at the time of the incident. For example, if at the time of the incident, A, the target, is totally wasted and would not have hooked up with B sober, B's chances with A must be measured relative to "drunk A," not "sober A." That A would have chewed his or her arm off upon waking up next to B is not relevant to B's chances. However, that B was "coyote ugly" is relevant to whether the interference was reasonable.
§ 2.22 - Cockblocker's Awareness of the Risk
To be actionable, the cockblocker should have been aware of that risk. Negligent cockblocking does not require a mental state, hence it is not necessary that the cockblocker was actually aware of the risk. Hence, that the cockblocker was too drunk to recognize that B was grinding her ass on A is no defense. Indeed, the degree and obviousness of flirtation between A and B is highly relevant to whether the cockblocker "should have been aware" of the risk his or her conduct posed to B getting play.
§ 2.23 - Conduct of the Cockblocker
Finally, there must have been actual conduct that interfered with the cockblockee's chances of getting play from the target. Acts of ommision are not negligent cockblocking. For example, if B was hitting on A, and C was busy downing shots at the bar, B cannot sue C for failing to be a good wingman and "take one for the team."
§ 2.3 - Intentional Cockblocking
A person commits the tort of intentional cockblocking if, with the intent to prevent the cockblockee from getting play from the target, engages in conduct that prevents the cockblockee from getting play.
§ 2.31 - Intent
The tort of cockblocking incorporates the common law on intent from other intentional torts. As such, a cockblocker may intend to cockblock by having a subjective "purpose in the heart" to cockblock, or may "know with reasonable certainty" that cockblocking will flow from her conduct. Here, severe intoxication may negate intent, if the plaintiff's theory is "knowledge with reasonable certainty." It does not however, negate a subjective "purpose in the heart." Hence, it may be advisable for the plaintiff to plead both negligent and intentional cockblocking, if the cockblocker appeared to be intoxicated.
Further, like other intentional torts, the doctrine of "transferred intent" is applicable to cockblocking. For example:
A, B, and C are approached by D and E. D hits on A while E hits on B. C approves of D, but not E and attempts to ruin E's chances with B. Although E is successful in separating B from the group, A is annoyed by the whole situation and leaves with C. C's intent to cockblock E transfers to E in the same way that missing a punch and hitting an innocent bystander transfers that tortfeasor's unlawful intent.
§ 2.32 - Conduct
Like negligent cockblocking, intentional cockblocking requires actual conduct, rather than acts of ommission. See § 2.23, supra.
§ 2.34 - Affirmative Defenses
(a) Consent of Cockblockee. While this is a rare situation, a person prone to beer goggles may ask his friends to prevent him from hooking up with an unattractive target, or to prevent him from cheating on his girlfriend. Here, the two issues for the trier of fact will be (1) whether the cockblockee actually consented, and (2) whether the conduct within the scope of the consent (i.e., were the cockblocker's standards too high). In cases where the target was questionably the scope of the consent, the trier of fact should consider both the objective attractiveness of the target, the clarity with which the consent was given. Of course, the cockblockee is always free to change his mind, regardless of the amount of alcohol consumed.
(b) Consent of Target. Similar considerations apply as with consent of the cockblockee. However, the trier of fact should be particularly careful to distinguish between cases where the consent to interfere was in force at the time of the conduct, and those where target changed her mind and the cockblocker used the target's prior "consent" as a pretext for her own agenda.
(c) True Competitor. A competitor is a person who cockblocks with the intent of getting play from the target himself. This defense follows from the maxim that "all's fair in love and war." However, in order to be a "true" competitor, the trier of fact must find that he had an equal or greater chance of recieving play from the target than the cockblockee.
§ 2.4 - Malicious Cockblocking
Malicious cockblocking incorporates all of the elements of intentional cockblocking. However, it contains the additional element that the cockblocker "willfully and wontonly" interfered with the cockblockee's chances of getting play. In other words, malicious cockblocking can be thought of as "depraved mind cockblocking," (similar to the mental element in many second-degree murder statutes). Typically, though not necessarily, the malicious cockblocker will be female, who will not be getting any action that night, and so feels compelled to drag her friends into her misery.
Whether intentional cockblocking qualifies as "malicious" is a matter of culpability. Therefore, it will always be a question for the trier of fact.
Malicious cockblocking carries punitive damages.
I'd call it "Beer/bri"
I think I might need to have a night like this before next Tuesday, just to test my true knowledge.

F**KING BARBRI!
I have a few things to vent about:
(1) Barbri told us that there were 3 exemptions to the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act...then they had a model answer in THEIR book that stated more than 10 exemptions.
(2) Barbri told us there would be no Federal Estate and Gift Tax on the bar exam...in doing practice essays from released exams...I've already seen 3 Estate and Gift Tax questions and I just started doing these essays 2 days ago.
(3) Barbri told us, preceding the Trust lecture, that the Oklahoma bar examiners had not tested Trusts in over a decade. I've already come across 3 Trust questions in the past 6 years in my released essays book.
Why so misleading Barbri?

60% of Statistics Are Made Up
I saw the following headline on FoxNews.com:
"June 27th is HIV Testing Day. More than 280,000 Americans don't even know they have it, make sure you're not one of them"
Who comes up with that number and how? The way I see it, if a person doesn't know that they are HIV+, how do statisticians know? Can someone answer me that...am I missing something?

Summer 2007 Fashion
Had to share this from a fellow bar examinee's blog:
Girls – you have a new look… it’s called “Flu.”
Guys – your look is called “Unibomber.”
“Flu” and “Unibomber” are this Summer’s “black” among law students, and the only way you can be cooler is to be “flu-ier” or “Unibomb-ier.”
I might wash my hair tonight...hopefully.

I wish my apartment was a dog...
...so that it would clean itself.
How is it that my apartment is getting so messy? I don't even spend any time there. I did my laundry last week and now all the clean laundry is just laying all over my desk. Does anyone know a good maid service that doesn't charge too much? While I've decided to just let my car go and just wait until the exam is over with to get it detailed, I don't think I can let my apartment go.
Jackie - get the dog, I love the name Gracie. I'll help you train her. The best thing to do is go get puppy pads and start taking her out 3 times a day, but have the puppy pads for back up. Cavaliers are generally pretty healthy dogs, so I'm sure you won't run into any problems with health. You will love having a dog, they just add so much to your life.

1 down...4 to go.
Gallons of water that is. Here is my nifty little hangover remedy...it holds 5 gallons, I put a bunch of ice in it. I think for the morning after the bar exam, I might fill it with gatorade. Anyways, I intend to finish this.
Oh yes, and last night was officially the last night. It's all bar review from here on out. I'm not saying that I won't greet Megan and Jackie out on their bdays, but no more drunken debauchery until July 25th.

"Do it, honey...do it"
Actual question out of my bar review book:
Ricky was relaxing in his living room when his wife entered and asked what he'd like for dinner. Ricky replied, "Ethel, next dinner." Startled, Lucy asked Ricky what he meant by that remark. Ricky then said, "Look, I've had the hots for Ethel for a long time. I've got this burning desire to go next door and rape her." As Ricky was about to walk out the door, he turned to Lucy and said, "You want to come along and watch?" Lucy shook her head as if to say okay and followed him next door.
Moments later, Ricky rang the doorbell and Ethel came to the door. After entering her home, Ricky grabbed Ethel's arm and began to rip off her clothes. Terribly frightened, Ethel pleaded with Ricky to stop. As he continued to assault her, Ethel then turned to Lucy and said, "Please tell him to get off me." Lucy, who despised Ethel, simply stood by and told Ricky, "Do it, honey...do it." Ricky raped Ethel repeatedly and afterwards threatened to kill her if she told anyone.
On a charge of raping Ethel, Lucy should be found:
(A) not guilty, because it is legally impossible for a woman to commit rape
(B) not guilty, because Ethel's mere presence and oral encouragement, whether or not she had the requisite intent, will not make her quilty as an accomplice
(C) guilty, because, with the intent to have Ethel raped, she shouted encouragement to Ricky
(D) guilty, because she aided and abetted Ricky through her mere presence plus her intent to see Ethel raped
What the fuck? Seriously, the people who come up with these questions are disturbed.

Why I need a personal assistant...
Especially during the bar exam.
Yes, that's right, my electricity got turned off today. Not because I didn't have the money to pay my bill, but because I was just too lazy to actually pay it.
However, I did go get my driver's license today which was quite the debacle, but I don't even want to get into it - I just want a damn beer.
I also ran into a wall, not theoretically speaking, literally - I'm losing it, I was just walking through my apartment and I walked into a wall.

What's the tape for?
Today, we had our first of two Civil Procedure lectures, and before our lecture began, the lecturer stated, "don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I brought duct tape"...then he held up a huge role of duct tape. I quickly got a text or "nerd whisper" from Sara who was sitting several rows behind me that said, "Is this guy into bondage?" I was waiting for him to make a law-related illustration, but to the contrary...he never mentioned it again, which kind of disturbed me.
Besides the kinky pre-lecture comment, his actual lecture was great...I never understood Civ Pro in law school and it just seems so easy to me now. Why don't I feel that way about Constitutional law...it's kicking my ass, and K's too. We just kill on all the other MBE practice questions and then we get to Con Law and it's just pathetic. I'm now listening the audio lectures and concurrently taking notes, hopefully that will help.
Can't wait till tomorrow...it will be a spontaneous evening as I really have no idea what I'm going to do after the softball game. I'll either be heading to Brookside for the re-opening of Suede, or whatever they're calling it now, with the JG group, or going to Caravan with Megan, or going to Night Trips for the Free Paris Party...all I know is that I will be consuming heavy amounts of alcohol.
Off to do laundry.

9 Days and Counting...
Stupid little things that get me through a 10 hour day of studying:
(1) The iPhone comes out in 9 days, and my mom is getting me one...she rocks in so many ways!
(2) Softball game on Thursday...and I got me some new socks!
(3) Caravan Thursday...and I get to play wingman for M...
(4) Good weather...maybe? please? I'm hoping for Friday to be a pretty day so we can lay out by the pool and study.
(5) SYTYCD tomorrow night - I've got DVR so it only takes me about 30 minutes to watch it.
(6) Testing my commercial paper skills --- yes, I'm one of those nerds who enjoys subjects that 99% of law student loathe.
(7) The fact that Kelli actually mentioned today that she'd be down with studying at Panera one day within the next week...sweet!
(8) Blogging...ha.
Things that I'm putting off/not looking forward to:
(1) Paying my cable, phone and electric bill. Only because I'm lazy.
(2) Getting my new Oklahoma license...only because I don't want to take my hair out of a ponytail or put mascara on for the picture.
(3) Order my transcript...because the TU business office is so damn hard to get to get to with all the construction. Kelli: we are doing this after barbri either tomorrow or Thursday, because we both need to do it.
(4) Civil Procedure tomorrow AND Thursday. Listen, I don't mind jurisdictional issues, in fact I heart anything having to do with jurisdiction; what I don't like is all the deadlines for motions etc etc that we are going to have to memorize.

Please take your children...
...and get the fuck out of Panera! I understand that Panera is not a library, but it is still a cafe, where people go to eat peacefully, read, study or converse with a friend or colleague. We've got grandma, grandpa, mom and dad all ignoring the fact that their 3 children are screaming and running around while the rest of the cafe is giving them dirty looks. The only person making the tiniest bit of an effort to quiet down the infant from hell is the 6 year old daughter. Nice parenting...do me a favor, have all the unprotected sex you want and destroy your own life, but please, don't destroy the innocent people's lives around you.
Also, there is a college guy having some issues with his internet connection so he's on SPEAKER PHONE with technical support. Seriously?

Victory is mine!
1. I found my passport!!! It was underneath the passenger seat of my car. And, yes, I looked yesterday, but I don't think you have any idea how messy my car was. Problem solved. Now I don't have to pay $150 to get one expedited to me in time for my cruise.
2. It's not a fun game, and it doesn't have very good odds, but I won the "Find the Smell" game. It wasn't in my trash, it wasn't in my fridge, it was in my garbage disposal. So I did the dishes, cleaned out the fridge, cleaned the counters, chopped up a lime and threw it down the garbage disposal.
That is all, now I can get back to studying.

Where do birds go to die?
Answer: The tree in front of my apartment.
This is weird...there are 5, yes, 5 dead birds underneath this tree. It's creeping me out a little bit, because it's not like all five of them just dropped out of the tree one day. It started as one bird, then the next day another, and now there are 5. Any idea as to what's going on with this tree?

Touch me, beautiful!
I'm watching American Pie right now on USA and it is just horribly censored. On another note, last night was a freaking blast. I met up with Megan at Target, where I bought myself a new camera, finally. We went back to my place, drank some wine and got ready to go out. Met up with some other people at Caravan and then after-partied till after 4am. Jacuzzi, pool, beer...it was a fun night.
Downside to last night, I lost my passport, so now I don't have a driver's license and I don't have a passport. I'm going to have to do something about that tomorrow.
Some memorable quotes from last night: am i drunk, or is he the most gorgeous guy i've ever set my eyes on...when i call a girl a ho, all that means is that if i had the body, i'd be wearing the exact thing she is wearing...see this skirt usually goes down past my knees, but i hiked it up all short, cuz i'm a ho...i bet you have your nipples pierced...are you a mac or a pc user...

As the dizziness wears off...
...I sit here at Panera Bread, after having done 4 hours of Conflict of Laws. My hangover was monumental this morning, and continued into the afternoon. Last night was well worth it though, I was in need of a crazy night. We started out at Los Cabos, where I had margaritas and 3 flour tortillas. I didn't eat much because I wanted to didn't want to give my body any more of a reason to keep me the least bit sober, and I hadn't gotten my ass over to the gym yesterday. Then we went to the Snail where L and I had about a thousand jager bombs, and we two-stepped on the Grey Snail dance floor. When we were sitting out on the patio, L was trying to convince me that we had hit an iceberg and that it was going to prevent us from being able to get home. Too funny - I love drunk asses!
I did however get my ass over to the mall and bought the cutest most comfortable dress ever. My camera died last night so I have NO pictures, but I'll wear it again soon, very soon. I could give two shits if people think I have nothing else to wear. If I find an outfit I love, I will repeat it as many times as I want.
I wish the couple that I'm facing would leave, because the they are engaging in some nauseating PDA, solely instigated by the girl; the guy is absolutely freaking gorgeous and I can't take my eyes off of him; and the girl is well, at the very least tomboy girl next door cute. God he's hot...I think I need to get some major booty...TMI, but it's been awhile, and the stress generating from Barbri is not helping.
Really happy to see that fuckstain DA from Durham County get disbarred; lawyers like him are the reason why I will always be made fun of because of the profession I am in. Not all of us are bad; especially me - despite my fairly loose morals, I am an extremely ethical person.
My plan for the rest of the evening: Grab a bottle of chardonnay on the way home, put said chardonnay in freezer for quick chilling, get cleaned up, drink said chardonnay, find some shit to do tonight. I'll either be going to karaoke at Charries, or somewhere in Brookside with Sara et al. I don't care which one I do, but I will need a designated driver tonight, that's fo sho.
Let's hope I don't drunk-dial the sperm donor to sarcastically wish him a happy father's day at 2am...I've been known to do that before.

I need an alarm clock
So, for the past 2 years, I've used my motorola razr as an alarm clock. It's worked very well, it's very loud and pretty much the only time I've ever slept through it was when I was unconsciously drunk. My razr broke about a week ago, and I had a back up razr, but that one stopped working a couple of days ago. So, now I'm using my friend's old nokia. I would buy a new phone, but I'm waiting it out since the iPhone comes out in 2 weeks.
Well, I'm suppose to be at Barbri right now learning the fabulous Conflict of Laws. I completely slept through my alarm on the dumb old nokia phone (damn polyphonic ringtones). I should have done something about it yesterday because I almost didn't hear it yesterday as well. So now, I'm going to have to double up on barbri on Monday...fun fun. I'm just thankful that they have make-up classes.
P.S. Any of you that try to tell me that the reason I didn't wake up this morning was because I was up till 5am last night trying to go to sleep, but blogging about it instead, can screw off. This is not the 1st or 100th time that I've gone to bed at 5am and had to get up at 8am.

Another Sleepless Night
For some reason, I can sleep for hours in the middle of the day, but I can't get to sleep at a reasonable hour at night. And I'm trying to conserve my good sleeping pills for when I really need them.
I'm currently watching the series finale of Dawson's Creek, which is dumb dumb dumb. This is really a show that should have ended when they graduated highschool.
Whoa...Pacey is getting the crap beat out of him by his lover's husband...it's bad...I wonder if they kill him? The sad thing, is that all I can think about is, did the husband have adequate provocation? Was there a sufficient "cooling off" period? What kind of force may Pacey use in defense of himself? Also, the guy has 2 friends with him...conspiracy, accomplice liability...what have I turned into?
Series finale "shockers" (note heavy sarcasm):
1. Jen got knocked up and her boyfriend left her to raise a baby alone - big f-ing surprise, I could've predicted this from the 3rd episode.
2. Both Pacey and Dawson are still drooling over Joey, even though she's got 5 inch long roots...ew.
3. Pacey is having an affair with an older married woman.
4. Jack is now dating Pacey's older bro Doug - the brother who always cracked gay jokes about Pacey...yeah.
5. Dawson's slutty mom gets married...again.
Update: Pacey is not dead...just slightly mangled. Merely a battery. And Jen just passed out cold. Okay, I guess there is a part II, because it just ended with everyone finding out that Jen is going to die pretty soon. Whatever, I'm going to bed.

I know I'm not in college anymore...
...but I still visit collegehumor.com almost daily. So I shall share with you some of their high-larious posts.
Gay ways to wear a fanny pack:
Gay ways to wear a fanny pack:
Herpes, marathon sex and conspiracies.
What is with PMBR and dirty dirty questions? There was one about a guy who had herpes and had to disclose it because of an 1826 drafting provision...then there was one where a 30 year old perv picks up a girl from a bar who claims to be 20. They go back to a hotel, where they have "marathon sex" all weekend. He is arrested for statutory rape because it turns out that she is 12!!! Gross...how do you not know that a girl is 12? I know it's a hypothetical, but still.
Also, I think PMBR and BarBri are trying to screw us. According to my friends in Texas, they are being told to use A as the default answer this year, while in Oklahoma, we are being told to use B as the default answer (i.e. when you absolutely have no idea, choose B - because if a huge population of test takers get a question wrong on the multistate exam, and they all pretty much choose the same wrong answer, the bar examiners will likely throw that question out). Conspiracy? I don't know, but if you're reading this, B is the damn default answer!

We need a beer on 3rd!
It was another evening for softball, and I had a blast. It was a nice break after thinking about and studying for the bar all day. We lost by 2 runs, but I had a great hit deep into center field, I had a killer catch which left me on the ground and I got to slide into 2nd. It took me back to the days playing with West Austin Youth Association. Fun times...can't wait till next week!

Who does that?
I'm going to have to declare this weekend, "who does that?" weekend. Do you ever just have someone do something that makes you respond to yourself over and over again, "who does that?". Seriously, I asked myself that very question about 100 times this weekend.
A Novel of a Property Question
These property questions are so. freaking. long. If you're suppose to average 1.5 minutes per question, but it takes you 2 minutes just to read the questions, what is the freaking point? I know that there are some that are so short that you can zip through them in 30 seconds, but the majority of these questions are just so long as to confuse the reader...thanks bar examiners...
I loathe you Property
So here's a question that has popped up 3 times already during my property drills today. What happens when A conveys to B, then 2 years later asks B to give the deed back. B gives deed back to A, A destroys it. Who owns now? Apparently B still owns it, but in equity, that just doesn't make sense.
Here's another one: A leases to B for a period of 5 years. At the end of the 5 years, A writes to B "if you'd like to renew your lease, rent will now be increased to $1200 per month, not $1000". B doesn't respond, but holds over, and sends a check for $1000 with letter stating "$1200 is too much for this craphole". A cashes the check. What is the nature of the tenancy. Apparently, it is a year to year tenancy held at $1200 per month. Even though principles of contract law tell me that the check for $1000 was a counteroffer and cashing the check was an acceptance...wtf? Also, seriously, B is going to be held to another year to year? I would think it would be month-to-month, since the monthly payments impliedly create a month-to-month tenancy...whatever...where's my bottle of wine?

An ass kicking in fee simple absolute
It's been a busy several days...but now, I will update.
1. I'm in the library right now, which is being renovated and there's this incessant beeping noise every 5 seconds that is giving me a headache. Would it be bitchy if I emailed the dean about this? I mean, we're studying for the bar exam, which our school didn't prepare us for in the very least...it would be nice to have a quiet place to study.
2. I was suppose to fly down to Austin yesterday to testify against my father in a custody hearing regarding my sister. Turns out everything settled, and after getting a ride to the airport, rescheduling my flight twice and then finally canceling, I am now fairly certain that I don't have to go down there.
3. I have a step-mother...weird. I've never met her, but I found out today that my father actually married the woman he's been with for the past 5 years...the same woman he had an affair with while my parents were still married...classy chick, I'm sure. My mom says that she seems nice, but still, I think the only way I could have any respect for her is if she had absolutely no idea that my dad was still married when they started seeing eachother...which is highly likely.
4. I've been kicking ass in my workouts. Kelli and I have been going almost everyday for 2 hours. We went to this one class on Friday that was literally like a boot camp. We are both really sore, but feel good. She's a great study/exercise buddy...glad I found someone compatible to work with this Summer.
5. I'm excited about softball tonight. I'm playing with Jones, Gotcher and Bogan, and they are all lots of fun...I'm also going to run over to target and pick myself up a new glove, since mine has been lost for a while now.
6. Saturday night, I lost my brand new sterling silver id case, with my debit card, gas card, student id, license, $150 Panera gift card and $50 Subway gift card in it. Mainly, I'm upset about the gift cards, but I'm hoping it will turn up soon...I'm thinking it's somewhere at Niels' house or in his car.
7. KNOCKED UP = BEST. MOVIE. EVER. Not exaggerating. If anyone wants to go see it, I will gladly go see it again. I was laughing my ass off throughout the whole movie. I can't wait to see it again.
8. I'm signed up for a massage on Thursday at 2:30, Kelli and I are going over to the Clary Sage Massage School. Since, to date, I've done 104.5 hours of studying, I'm ready for my first well-deserved massage.

I wrote you 365 letters!
Yesterday, I studied for a whopping 8 1/2 hours, so I treated myself with an evening at In the Raw, a lot of sake with Margot, Sara, Andie and Matt. When I got home (early at 11:30), I decided to watch The Notebook, which is one of my all time favorite movies. Note to self: only watch that movie sober. I was bawling...even at the scenes between the old people.
This morning we had our first of two Evidence lectures and I don't think anyone is liking our lecturer. She's awful...all over the place and not easy to understand. But at least she gets the shit done, instead of going off on 10 minute tangents about Justin Timberlake.

The thing that makes me feel better about myself...

From Kitchen Stadium...
I think I'm in love with Iron Chef Bobby Flay...the way he worked those cowboy ribeyes tonight...damn! But seriously, I've had a crush on him for, well, ever since I first saw him.
Cheesy photo...I know.

Am I 14?
I don't know if it's studying for the bar exam or something else, but lately I've been watching the dumbest 14 year old girl Disney movies. Today I watched (and loved):

Monday = Miss Universe 2007
My Post-Prelim/Pre-Final Top 15
My Top Five
USA
I have to have her as my winner because she's adorable, exotic, great body and so sweet, and I can't remember another Miss USA who was a better fit for Universe.
Bolivia
One of my favorites from the very beginning, I like her curves and she has a gorgeous face.
Mexico
Love love love her face and she seems very spunky and intelligent after hearing her interviews. Also, we all know the Mexican fans are obnoxious and rude, but let's not blame their contestant.
Denmark
This is my underdog that I hope goes far this year. Her face is so unique and I'm loving her new dress.
South Africa
Have to put a blonde in top 5. I think what I like about her is that she's blonde but still has miss universe appeal, which is very rare. And her dress is my favorite.
My Top Ten
Spain
I like her gown change and I really think it's her smile and her interview that made me a fan.
Guatemala
I just love this girls' face, not a huge fan of the dress, but still, just beautiful.
Dominican Republic
She wasn't one of my favorites at first, but wow...that dress!
Nicaragua
Her new dress is nice, but I'm not crazy about it. Good color though...I'm loving all the color in this year's pageant. Pretty girl, great body.
Brazil
I'm loving her new dress and she's got an exotic and flawless look to her.
My Top Fifteen
Honduras
This girl has major universe appeal, but I'm not liking the orange dress on her skin...but I hope to see her in top 15.
Panama
I've liked her since the beginning. Her and USA probably look like they are the youngest in the competition, but a couple of the prettiest.
Venezuela
Another exotic beauty...America, North and South, will dominate this year.
India
Very beautiful and definitely exotic, but I've seen some bad pictures, so I'm not sure if she's very consistently photogenic.
Serbia
Gorgeous blonde, and I love her gown...only problem is she looks a bit older than most of the contestants in my opinion.
Bubble:
Japan - I don't like her gown change and her interview was iffy, but still a gorgeous girl and I wish she would change her gown back.
Thailand - It's her new dress that caught my eye, but she's been a wallflower to me from the beginning.
Greece - Not a girl that I've seen much appeal in from the start, but she seems to appeal to most people, and I do love how different her dress is, in a good way.
