1. I spent a good portion of the afternoon yesterday hanging out in a bar…
… which I purposefully made sound cooler than it actually was.
2. Because even though sometimes I may try to look like a badass…
3. … the reality of it is that I’m really a dork at heart. And I kind of like it.
4. But back to why I was at the [Genius] bar. My beloved MacBook decided to bite the dust… four freakin’ months after I bought it. Thankfully it’s still under warranty, but I’m more than just a little pissed off, especially because I had to go back to using my old laptop and that thing is just beastly in comparison…
… but at least I still have something to work with. Think happy thoughts. Think happy thoughts.
5. Squee!
6. I probably should have stopped by Sephora while I was at the mall. I think it may be time to put my old eyeliner out of its misery…
7. … but I ended up stopping by a hobby store instead. See #3 above. Don’t judge me.
8. This is the most played song in my iTunes library…

9. And this is the food that I probably eat the most far too much of. I go through a tub of this stuff pretty much every day. Should I be concerned?
10. I get some pretty ridiculous junk mail sometimes. This one really made me giggle…
Happy Thursday!!!

How do you like your coffee?
What’s one food that you eat a lot of?
Tell me something random from your day!
I eat at least 8-9 bananas a week!
What a great post! I love Oikos, too:)
Wow, spam can be so wacky :P!
Your outfit looks awesome, and I love the “dorkside” shirt :P!
Haha, loved the coffee graphic. As a fellow coffee addict, I can relate 🙂 Random funny story from my day: the little girl I babysit for me was telling me that she really wants to be a vegetarian because she thinks it’s mean to kill animals, then tells me: “Plus, I only like chicken nuggets and veal, anyway.” Haha I was cracking up. Happy Thursday!
I REALLY want a new macbook with the retina display. Mine is only two years old but feels ancient!
HAhaha I just died at the junk mail. I’m a dork at heart, too. Sorry to hear about your laptop!! Agh, that’s a bummer 🙁 I used to go through that much yogurt, too! Totally normal 😉
I am a total dork…and I love it! It keeps things interesting and fun. Who wants to be boring, anyways?? 😉
Ohhh nooo, what the heck Mac Book? If it’s under warranty I hope they are fixing it for free or giving you a brand spanking new one! I totally just pictured you in the elevator wearing that shirt under your coat like a super hero, dork status is cool 😛 I love cappuccinos but if it’s just traditional coffee, I prefer it a darker tan color with not too much milk. One food I eat a lot of is Greek yogurt, we should invest stock in that stuff. And a random thought from my day: my roots are looking awful, need to go back to darker [cheaper] low-maintenance hair!
I eat a ton of eggs! hehe, but i dont drink coffee, chai tea for meeee 🙂
I love these posts 🙂
Sorry your macbook crapped out on you! Thats pretty lame, especially considering I thought those things were supposed to be virus proof and all that. Hopefully its an easy fix!
And that coffee poster is seriously adorable!! I kid you not I plan on printing it and pasting it into my journal, because Im a weirdo like that 🙂
I know how you feel about your Mac. After only a year of having mine, I stupidly spilled an entire glass of water on mine and had to buy a whole new one. It was a sad day indeed. But worse things could be wrong in your life, right? 🙂 And I LOVE that coffee poster.
ahh I adore these posts because I love hearing about your cool little life adventures. you look pretty badass in that picture, i bet if you were holding the monopoly board it would be that more bad ass. I feel like there are so many of hobbies of yours I am still learning about. Oh and greek yogurt, (along with cottage cheese) disappears quite fast around here
I love my coffee strong black and sweet, yum! I don’t think I eat too much of one thing, although before I started to lay off the nut butters then I think I was eating a lot of them!
watch out for that GreekYo, Amanda. We just might lose you to a protein- and probiotic-overdose.
That would be really unfortunate
DYING @ the coffee explanation chart….i love cute things..this is too cute..i..i..i can’t handle it!
I love the eyeliner, I think all us girls do something similar. When we find a makeup product we really like, we stick with it until it’s nearly bit the dust. I think I’ve been using the same eyeliner for the past year – I can’t believe it’s still alive and going well!
I drink a small cup of coffee every morning, black. My freshman year of college I began drinking fancy coffee drinks – white chocolate mochas, caramel lattes, etc. (courtesy of my dining hall) until I realized how horrible they are for you. I weaned myself off the sugary drinks and now, I actually prefer it black! Although I must admit, I had to ‘temper’ my first few black cups of coffee with a maple donut on the side (this was before my ED started…those were the days!).
One thing I’ve got to have every day is…milk! My morning is incomplete without it. My mom’s the same way, we plow through a gallon of milk every few days. I was shocked when I learned most adults don’t drink milk by itself…my dad thinks it’s for little kids.
When I’m having normal coffee, I actually prefer it black, but when it comes to espresso drinks, I absolutely adore my capps. If you get them without any flavors added, they’re pretty healthy for you… ust coffee and milk 😀
#5 is too cute! I love my coffee with foam so I’m a big fan of lattes and cappuccinos.
Sorry about your macbook! 🙁 4 months is wayy too soon for it to even think about biting the dust. I hope you get it back soon!
Lastly, I think badasses may be a liitle bit overrated? Dorks have more fun 😉 Although the badass in that photo (#2) has a very cute jacket 🙂
That coffee picture is adorable! When I go to Starbucks, I usually order an Americano with some kind of flavor shot but at home I make brewed coffee with almond milk. I wish the ‘bucks would start offering almond milk as an alternative…I would definitely order a lot more lattes if they did!
I go through dried fruit like crazy, and it’s kind of a problem because I like it without anything added, and that kind of dried fruit is really expensive. But it’s just too good to stop!
I’d be so upset at my macbook too, that stinks! Hopefully they fix it nice and quickly for you. One food that I eat a lot of is eggs. Every single day, can’t go without one!
I’m an absolute coffee-holic. Love everything about it. Everything. I’m sorry your computer bit the dust, technology can be soooo frustrating sometimes. Bravo for looking at the positive though!
I’m sorry your Mac decided to give up on you. Four months only? That’s even worse than my laptop battery having just died- it’s the second one already – after about a year.
There’s never too much Greek yogurt – I blame you for making me an addict, too, by showing all of those breakfast bowl pictures :). Mixed with coconut flour and maple syrup … mmmh!
Our eyeliners might be twins. Admittedly, though, my make-up bag is holding several of those little ones. I blame my father for passing his habit of using things until you can’t, well, use them anymore onto me :D.
Well, now go and have an affair, girl, won’t you ;)? Life is short, after all.
Coconut flour in yogurt? Oooo! I’ve heard about that but never actually tried it. I’m assuming it’s really good? What does it do to the texture?
Bahahahah spam. I pretend I’m cool sometimes too. Trust me, I’m really not at all. Usually my really awesome self manages to find my way to a running store… I wonder how that happens… I can’t even pretend I went to a really hip bar. I’m not 21. It’s fine though. I’m perfectly happy being a running nerd.
Sorry about your computer, that sucks. I’m still a PC, and we have our share of technical issues too. Luckily, my boyfriend is a techie guy, so I just give my stuff to him when I have a problem lol
Ha, it’s fine to be apart of dork-doms. For a while in high school I was a Phantom of the Opera ‘phanatic’ as they’re called. I was obsessed. Unhealthily. But it was still fun.
Hummus is my achilles heel when it comes to poor portion control. I don’t have any when it comes to that stuff. It tastes good on everything, so I put it on everything. I go through 2 tubs of it in one week. I know, crazy. And to my own embarrassment…peanut butter. I have to have crunchy peanut butter and banana on toast every.single.day. The combination is just heaven in my mouth. I’ll never get tired of it.
I went through a phase in junior high where I listened to Phantom of the Opera for months straight. I think I can still remember all the words to the songs 😯
Oh nooooooo to the computer!!!!! Thank god it’s under warranty! I drink my coffee BLACK as night!! I am boring, what can I say. That spam mall was hilarious. I haven’t had one like that yet..maybe mine is coming haha.
LOL, I am the biggest dork too. I’d probably post something of that nature if I spent the day in the bar as well. Also-love MAC…I’m addicted.
I’m such a nerd at heart as well! I can’t help it. I love Lord of the rings, harry potter, all that fun stuff:) Life without coffee isn’t worth living. Kidding. Kind of. I know you feel me on this. We can be coffee queens. Laughing because my eyeliner also currently looks like that, I always like to use every last morsel of it. No wasting over here.
I am a dork at heart too! Right there with you. And I totally use my eyeliner down to the end. You still have a good couple weeks out of that one 😉
The problem is that the cap doesn’t fit on it anymore! It just swallows the whole thing up.
Ha, sometimes (ok, a lot of the time) junk e-mail is more entertaining than the real stuff. And heck no there’s nothing to be concerned about in regards to your Greek yogurt consumption. Because I definitely go through it just as fast. I mean…it’s organic? And…healthy…? And also expensive…so I guess that’s the caveat. Oh well, a gal’s got to have her vices.
1. And people wonder why I tell them to buy PC :-p
2. I am all for secret dork-dom. And monopoly. WoW I’m a little hesitant on, but give me Walking Dead or Game of Thrones Monopoly and I would be all over that. Does GoT Monopoly exist? I need to look for that.
3. It is perfectly acceptable to eat that much 2% Oikos because it is one of the best things ever.
Haha! I was going to ask YOU if GoT Monopoly existed because I got all excited there for a second thinking that I just hadn’t heard of it. I don’t think it does, but it SHOULD.
Note to self: Write a letter to Hasbro about why this must happen.
You are so cute. Yay for people being dorks at heart 🙂
haha I’m with you on the dork thing :p I watched Lord of the Rings all while I was sick 😀 and I totally love looking like a badass– it’s the sunglasses that really make it happen 😉
I remember my last LOTR marathon. One summer I went through a period where I’d turn on Fellowship of the Ring every.single.day and just let it play in the background while I did whatever around the house. I think I can still quote it word for word 😯
Oh, coffee! 🙂 Life without it wouldn’t be the same 😉
And… hey, I like this song! I’m going to have some rest now… Marilyn Manson’s albums, a book… And cola zero. I think I’m addicted to this crap (I mean just cola ._.).
You’re a badass dork.
Own it. <3
You’re adorable. That shirt is adorable. Just adorable all over the place!
❤
That coffee poster made my day…especially the Irish one (since that’s my fav 😉 )…you look like quite a badass in that picture haha, and I love that you bought a world of warcraft monopoly..absolutely awesome 🙂 A food that I eat a lot of is cereal…eat it on everything and grab random handfuls throughout the day too…and random from my day…I should be in a stinky mood but I’m not…yay 🙂
Gah I would be PISSED if that happened to my Mac (touching wood as we type)- how long till it is sorted? Love that coffee poster- I know you’ll agree when I say that java is nectar of the Gods! I think that to myself every time I take my first sip. I like mine wit a splash of soy milk and cinnamon. I go through phases with temperature but right now, I’m all about coffee served hot…even though it’s pretty hot outside! Along with coffee, I go through A LOT of yogurt & applesauce at home….the word “staples” isn’t enough to cut it ;)!
They said 3-5 days depending on when they can get the parts. Grr. I’m getting used to old beasty though. And holy.wow do I go through applesauce like a fiend. I cook up a batch using around 10 apples, and it only lasts me for like 2.5 days… So basically I eat around 4 apples a day 😯
I’m SUCH a dork at heart, but I wouldn’t change that either. Part of our charm 😉 I like my coffee black in the mornings, but in the afternoon I will sometimes have a latte/mocha/something sweet. I eat a ton of greek yogurt as well, and if I have dark chocolate on hand I eat some after every meal (yes, even breakfast sometimes).
Chocolate after every meal?! A girl after my own heart! Sometimes I can’t help but grab some chocolate after breakfast too… I blame it on being a girl 😉
I love your blog! You always make me laugh. Your junk mail is just hilarious! 🙂
Aww, this post is adorable – I’m glad you’re feeling a bit more chirpy today. Also, thanks for answering my questions on the last post – my Mum actually eats exactly the same way now that she has made a lot of progress with her anorexia. Like you, she is always going to be very slim, but her stomach literally can’t handle large volumes of food due to the damage done by over 40 years of an eating disorder. So I don’t see a problem with eating more small meals and snacks – it was only because it seemed to be really upsetting you that I had those queries.
You know, I actually feel somewhat ‘cooler’ now I’ve read this because we have quite a lot in common – I adore that t-shirt and it’s one of the few non-gym clothes/running clothes that I would feel comfortable wearing. I also squeed a little at that cute set of coffees, particularly the Irish one, which made my laugh a little 🙂
I can (Sadly) eat a LOT of everything, pretty much. However, I do have a fourth stomach for Kabocha squash – if I have a whole one, no matter what the size, I WILL eat the whole lot in one sitting. I think my record was a 2kg squash *eek*.
xxx
You’re a lot cooler than you give yourself credit for, Jess! And I kind of wish I could eat that much kabocha… I love the stuff, but my stomach definitely doesn’t. The last time I tried, I lost my appetite for days 🙁
Lol, love the SPAM 🙂 And you look pretty darn cool on that photo! I have the EXACT same eyeliner and it has about the same size too. Need to rush to MAC soon!!! Sorry about your Laptop. That really sucks. I hate it when my gadgets don’t work the way I want them too. Hopefully you have it back real soon!!
