I feel like a little bit of a geek today and I'm okay with it.

Oh yes. It's that time again. Time to pick out those lovely awkward moments and awesome moments of the week. And share awkward photos of Mackenzie with the rest of the blogasphere. Cause awesome ones aren't as fun. {P.S. Like my snake puppet I made freshman year? I forgot his name... oops}

Awkward: 

   - I just used the word "blogasphere" {I don't think it's actually a real word either... must ask Webster}

   - Having someone talk to you in Spanish after a full year of not speaking it and even though you were once fluent, all you can answer is "si" cause you're too nervous... I feel so cool. 

   - Being run out of the woods by bugs. My mom and I ran all the way to the car. It was insane. 

   - Seeing a person that you met once, a year ago, making full eye contact for 30 seconds and still not knowing if it's that same person... I still don't know... 

   - "Can you give my number to your friend for me? But if she doesn't want it, feel free to use it." Um. No. Thanks?

   - My snake puppet's bubba gump lip. He's too cute. And p.s. that's his tail in my other hand. haha

Awesome: 

   - I'm going to see Miss Kirsten in 2 dayssss! {I'm obviously really excited... especially because I keep talking about it.}

   - Finally figured out the singing part to a cover I've been working on. Yesssss.

   - Raspberries. One of my favorite summer treats.

   - Seeing old friends that I haven't seen for years! It's so nice to reconnect with people you used to be so close with. 

   - Ice cream dates with your best friend every Wednesday. That may have been my best idea to date. 

What's been awkward and/or awesome in your life lately?

Awkward and Awesome Thursdays

Awesome: 

   - Made strawberry jam this week with my mom and friends.

   - Rode a mechanical bull for the first time ever. 

   - Went to Lake Placid and hung out with my dad all weekend. 

   - Got a sweetgrass candle and my room smells sooooo good.

   - Moccasins. They're just amazing.

Awkward:

   - I got a new phone/lost all my contacts therefore every time someone texts me, my response is: That's cool. Who is this? 

   - Wearing sports clothes/pjs/messy hair/probably smell cause nobody really looks nice in Keene, NY right? It's an outdoor place so I don't have to look good... whoa that is a cute boy... hide... trip... hide again.

   - Riding a mechanical bull at a bar on a Wednesday night. 

   - Telling my mechanic he should have me on speed dial since I've been there three times this month. 

   - Almost hitting a turkey on the way home from Lake Placid - they are hilarious. You should probably watch this video to understand why I laughed so hard - this is the best video I could find of one running. I didn't get attacked like this guy though haha 

What's been awesome or awkward for you this week?

Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

That's right. It's the thing I've missed/forgot about for weeks due to that silly thing people call college. Who does that anyway? I've got blog posts to write. Silly people. 

So let's do this thing, shall we?

Awkward: 

   - How bout we start with this photo? I was going to take an equally awkward photo just now, but then I found this beauty and thought it would be a good contribution. This is what I do when I'm in a bad mood sometimes to cheer myself up. Then I laugh at how ridiculous I am. It works.

   - The fact that I was supposed to move into a new apartment yesterday but, *sigh* I am sitting on the couch in my old apartment as you read this. (maybe not as you read actually, but as I type) Am I okay with my old apartment? Absolutely. Am I okay with the millions of boxes piled in my room? Not so much. Am I okay with having absolutely no idea what's going on up in that Residence Life office at my school? Not so much even more. But here I sit.

   - This kid I keep seeing around campus/not on campus. We run into each other EVERYWHERE and this has been happening since January. It's getting ridiculous and I don't even know if he notices. But he must, right? And it must be fate, right?

   - Call to order yarn Friday - not there. Leave a message. Call to order yarn Monday - Holiday. Leave a message. Called back Tuesday afternoon - Oh sorry. Don't want yarn anymore. Wednesday - Run out of yarn. Call Thursday morning - Hi Chuck? Can I order some yarn? Change shipping address 5 times and yarn is coming Friday. Win.

   

Awesome:

   - Twitter. 

   - The amount of clothes I have. Holy smokes... packing it all into boxes makes me look crazy... and we all know that isn't true... yeah.

   - The amount of free stuff you get when you're staying at college longer and you know the senior class. I love this time of year. Free. Free. Free!! So far: a brand new slow cooker, a recliner and ottoman, a small electric guitar and a LOOM. <<< FREE!

   - Getting to hang out with all my friends from school whenever I want. It's a great feeling and great company :) 

   - Summertimeeee and oh so warm! 

What is your awkward/awesomeness for the day?

Awkward and Awesome Thursdayssss

How bout that for an awkward photo huh? I. rock.

Awkward: 

   - Flat tire 40 minutes into my 6 hour drive home for Spring Break. And the fact that I'm driving and I say to myself - Self, why is the car vibrating? Car! Why are you vibrating more!? What's going on!?!

   - My phone shutting off in the *middle* of phone calls. Cool phone. Classy.

  - The tax lady telling me that I should design curtains because she can't find any she likes. Just nod politely self. 

   - Walking into tax office with lots of people there. Everything's really open. I'm confused. Here's the convo that I had. "Can I help you?" "Yes, I need the income tax office." "Okay. Do you have an appointment?" "Yes. Is this the right place?" I had no idea. 

   - The taxidermist on main street. Right next to the hardware store. Oh small towns. {Not my town. But could be. It's close.}

   - The man that asked me if my car was a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder. I just laughed. And he said, "... okay. Never mind." 

   - The {obvious} amount of times I've been to the auto shop this week. 

   

Awesome: 

   - Spring break. Getting lots done but very relaxed. Loving it. 

   - The big comfy sweater I bought at H&M for $15 yesterday. I'm wearing it up there {in the photo} and even though you can't see the whole thing, know that it's wonderful. And big. And comfy.

   - How long my hair is getting. Holy mackerel. 

   - The new features I have coming. I know I keep talking about this {or maybe it's just me talking in my head} but it's coming I swear! April is the month! 

   - April is my birthday month!!! That's right. It not only means fun things. It means SUPER fun things. Like. Whoa. 

Happy awkward and awesome-ness!

Tell me about yours!

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Awkward:

    - Bathroom situations. All of them. 

   - Having a twisted ankle and walking down stairs with people behind you. Not *hop* going *hop* fast *hop* enough!

   - Speaking of twisted ankles... you ask how I twisted my ankle? Oh, right. I was running to the window to catch a peek at James Franco and stare at him from above while he worked on a project below. In the process, twisted my ankle. I'm pretty awesome like that... and a huge creeper. {Oh, and James goes to my school} {Yup. We're on a first name basis. I did spy on him after all}

   - Trying to print something in the library and having this conversation: "Can you help me? I can't find my document on the computer. I downloaded it but I can't open that folder..." "Can't you look here?" *girl walks over and immediately pulls up file* "Oh *awkward laugh* you're probably just smarter than I am... *more awkward laughing*" "Yeahhh..." *more awkward laughing as she walks away* I rock with computers. 

  - Cute guy at Whole Foods probably thinks I'm stalking him. Yeah, so what if I went there 3 days in a row -- they were for different reasons!! Can't go back for a week. At least. 

Awesome:

   - Mom sent me textiles books! {As seen above} She's so cute. And I get to see her in a few days!

   - Spring Break is in a few days! Which means I might actually get back to having normal sleeping hours. Or just sleep 12 hours a day. I'm okay with that too. 

   - Working on new features and things for SOS. Very excited. And of course, you'll hear about them very soon :)

  -  April is my birthday month and it's so soon! There will be some very exciting things happening around here during April so stay tuned. 

   - Loving my department a little more and more everyday. Learning sooo much and loving everyone I have classes with. 

   - *Hopefully* going to a show tonight >> my friend's band. They are super cute. You should read about them here. And probably come listen if you're in the Providence area tonight. Which is really the Rhode Island area. Since everything is 5 minutes away in RI. 

   - Yeah, I saw James Franco. 

Who's got some awesome-ness or awkward-ness to share?

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

I've decided to participate in Awkward and Awesome Thursday, for this week at least, and while I was writing down my list, I thought - Wow self. Your life is pretty awkward. This is waaay to easy.

I figure, at least my life stays interesting right? 

Awkward: 

  - I asked the girl sitting in front of me in class if she could pass the sign-in list up to the teacher. I figured she would pass it to the next student but no. She gave me one of those looks where she's about to sigh and roll her eyes and got up and walked it to the front. That wasn't what I meant. Oops...

  - "I like your hair! Did you just dunk it in bleach or something?" "No... I went to the salon." "Oh *awkward laugh*"

  - My college cafeteria is on facebook. I really don't know how I feel about that.

  - My bag should be considered a weapon. I am constantly hitting people. Sorry everyone who ever walks by me.

  - Seeing people you sort of know and trying to decide if you should say hi or if they are going to say hi or if they even recognize you. Then you just look awkward for staring at them...

  - Smelling salad dressing in the cafeteria. Yeah I do it, but in my defense - who really knows what Sesame Ginger tastes like?!

  - When you sit down at a two person table and someone sits at the other table that you're facing. Facing you. So you have to stare at each other while you eat. Nice move buddy. 

  - Coffee and salad. Together. Weird.

  

Awesome: 

  - Weaving and machine knitting. I'm so in love.

  - My new earrings from All Saints. They are just too pretty.

  - Being able to wear nicer clothes to most of my classes. It doesn't really work in woodshop or painting class.

  - Plan Bean - a new, cute little coffee shop that just opened up and happens to be on my way to school. Sweet. And the best name.

  - Almost getting hit by a trolley. That's probably more awkward. Especially because neither the driver nor I were paying any attention at all...

  - Being a {first time ever in my whole entire life} sponsor on Malori's blog!

 - It was so hard for me to come up with a pattern for my screen printing class. I finally did, got to class and sketched out 5 more ideas for different prints right there. In about 10 minutes. Nice timing mind. 

  - Having heat again. So nice. 

  - Looking through old notebooks and finding conversations from my friends and I in class. So. funny. 

  - Anthropologie catalog in the mail today. *sigh* Happiness. 

  - {See my crappy cellphone picture above} The isle in Michael's FULL of spring flowers. Okayyy so they're fake, but it's still happy!

Have any awkwardness to share?
