Celebrities with Doctorates

Although we may think that celebrities are big dummies, some of them are actually super smart. Some of them even earned their doctorates. And because I think that's pretty cool and Alexis told me to write about it, I'm writing about it.

Ken Jeong- M.D.

While playing a pretty weird baby deliverer (scientific term) in Knocked Up, Ken was actually still practicing medicine. Then he was like "Man, I am really funny." and then started slaying the world with his comedic skills.

Mayim Bialik- Neurobiology

Blossom/Amy Farrah Fowler is a genius. It must be easy for her to play Amy because she really is a neuroscientist. Aside from breastfeeding her children until they are older than society says they should be, Mayim rocks her intelligence and wears it on her sleeve. During an interview, she was asked if it's hard to play a smart person and she was all "Um... well I am a neuroscientist so...." #Burn

Shaquille O'Neal- Education

Shaq gets knocked all the time for being stupid and I'm not sure why. He's pretty dang smart. He may not be able to shoot free throws, but he can write one heck of a dissertation!

Brian May- Astrophysics

Not only can this guy write a killer song and play a wicked guitar for the best band ever (Queen), but he can also use really big words and identify space things. He wrote "Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud" for his dissertation and even has an asteroid named after him.

Kermit- Amphibious Letters

Yep, Kermit has a doctorate from Southhampton College in New York. It's an honorary doctorate, but I thought it was still worth mentioning. Apparently, Kermit has used his celebrity status for the good and has helped people everyone. A puppet has a Ph.D.

Celebrities with Weird Pets

This week's topic: Celebrities with Weird Pets

Obviously this is something that I'm not as passionate about as eyebrows, but I love animals and celebrities, so I'm happy that Alexis chose this topic.

Get ready.

George Clooney

And Max- The Pot Belly Pig

In recent years, this isn't as weird, but he had Max for a long time. He let Max sleep in the same bed as him, something that many women (and men) hoped for. Max died in 2006 and Clooney said he wouldn't get another pig because Max had fulfilled all of his pig needs. I don't know if that's cute or creepy. #Bacon

Tori Spelling

And Coco- The Silkie Bantam Chicken

Why Tori, why? Not only did Tori decide to get this fluffy chicken, but she lets it sleep in her bed (which Dean won't sleep in, because you know, he cheats on her. #TooSoon?) but Tori and Coco also wear matching clothing. That chicken is dressed better than I am.

Mike Tyson

And several tigers

Awww, look how cute that tiger is. Mike's tigers even appeared in The Hangover, so that's cool. But what isn't cool is that he's keeping these tigers in his home. Tigers, you know, the large creatures that can maul your face off because they are wild animals. Mike got a tiger because he wanted to have the tiger riding in the front seat of his car because that would make him look like a baller. His words, not mine.

Josephine Baker

And Chiquita the Cheetah

On the topic of animals that can maul your face... Josephine Baker had a pet cheetah. And she used to walk Chiquita around Paris for funsies. That's weird.

Paris Hilton

And Baby Luv the Kinkajou

I'm not sure which one is weirder, the fact that Paris had a Kinkajou or that she named it Baby Luv. I'll let you figure that out. I mean, yeah... they are adorable, but they are exotic and I think illegal in many places. Apparently Tinkerbell wasn't doing it for her, so she had to get something with the word "kink" in it. Also, in 2006, it bit her. So that's fun.

Strong Eyebrow Game

As most of you know, I am obsessed with eyebrows. I'm not sure why, but I'm like really into eyebrows. If you have strong eyebrow game, I'm probably attracted to you. Maybe only because of your eyebrows.

My co-worker suggested I make a list of people with bad, strong, and upcoming eyebrow game.

Bad Eyebrow Game:

Matt Smith

Where they go?

Christian Slater

Vulcan brows

Marius Stan

OH NO. Furby-brows

Upcoming Eyebrow Game:
These are people who just need a little help with their brows and then they'll own the world.

Chloe Moretz

So close, Chloe.

Aaron Johnson

I think in like two years, he'll be FINE.

Shailene Woodley

I think after she cut her hair, her brow game went up dramatically.

Also, she's like taking over 2014. 2014 is her year.

Strong Eyebrow Game:

Camilla Belle

She is fierce.

Cara Delevingne

Seriously. Look at those brows. *swoon*

Emma Watson

Must be a Brit thing. Polished to perfection, Hermione.

Natalie Portman

My Queen. Look at them.

Theo James

I can't over his perfection. His brow perfection.

Colin Farrell

DYING.

Dealing with a Breakup

I’m not sure if this is the best medium for this, but I need to get my feelings out to people. I know I have a lot of friends who are also friends with my ex, which may get weird. But I don’t really care and just want people to know my experience and I need to get this out in the open because maybe I’ll feel less like a jerk if people knew what I have been through.

The last 9 months of my life have been a roller coaster. I dated a boy who treated me pretty poorly and it was a rare occasion when I didn’t cry at least once a week because of the things he said to me. I tried to stick through all of it, but in the end, I really couldn’t handle it.

I got really tired of driving 3 hours to Greeley and then another 3 hours back to Pueblo every time I wanted to see him. It was a one-way transportation situation and that was rough. While I was sympathetic with his lack of transportation, I was bitter about having to drive all the time.

I was irritated that after a year of dating, he still knew so little about me. He didn’t know when my birthday was, favorite color, and other general things that you should know about your significant other. I was frustrated that I made an effort to participate in his interest. I went to a hockey game (I hate hockey, you guys. HATE IT), watch his movies, tv shows, etc. while he refused to watch my movies, eat at new restaurants that I wanted to go to. I know it sounds so picky and little, but it hurt me.

The real problems came in January. After much thought, I had decided that I didn’t want to have kids. I want to be able to have my freedom and do what I want to do and focus on my career. Kids are not for me. I respect his decision to want kids, I really do. But the way he handled me feelings was the worst. He belittled my opinions on how difficult it is to raise a child and in the end said that I was going to be one of those people who was married to my career. Considering I took off several days of work so I could see him, this hurt me so much. My family is so important to me and I would never put my career before the people I love.

After months of depression regarding my relationship, I even went to therapy to try to improve it. But it didn’t help. I realized that most of my problems were because of my relationship. So I chose to end it. It was a hard decision. But in the end, I know it needed to happen. I did not need to be possessed by someone who said, “Your goodies are only mine to see.” My body is not a possession of anyone.

Now that it’s been a while, I can look back at the last year and a half and know that I should have ended it sooner because of how I felt. When someone treats you poorly, you should get away from them. I need to push past this experience.

As weird as it is, I needed to delete him off of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, remove his phone number from my phone, and untag him from my pictures. It may be immature and overreacting, but whatevs. And I know it seems immature to spill this out into the open, but it’s how I needed to cope. Judge if you will, but I’m already feeling better. I need to move on from this experience and onto a happier, healthier place. I hope that you all will understand that this post isn't out of spite, but out of slight grief/

Downton Abbey Season 4 Premiere

So I watched the Downton Abbey Season 3 premiere last night.

I have a few thoughts. But I'm going to list the top 5 most annoying characters of the show because that's more fun.

5. Rose.

Rose and I are kindred spirits. We like to do random things and get what we want. But Rose is such a rebel and not in a good way. She does stupid things and gets people in trouble. That's not cool.

4. Cora Crawley

I struggle with putting Cora on this list because she's a pretty neat lady. She was totes supporting Mary to be a majority holder of the Abbey. But she has some major faults. She was pretty upset that O'Brien left, but only because she needed to find someone else to dress her. Whoa. Life is rough for you. Also, when Thomas was all "Anna is mean." Cora totally believed him. Why? Why? Why? Anna's been so good to that family and Cora was so quick to turn against her. Boooo Cora.
3. Thomas.

I don't even have to say much about this. He's awful.
2. Daisy.

What is she good for? Does she do anything right? "What'd you do that for?" That's her catchphrase. She's kind of stupid. She wants people to like her so much but is really unlikeable. She can be such a spoiled brat too. I don't get it. Why does she still work there?
1. Robert Crawley.

Seriously dude? Why were you likeable at first and now you've turned into some misogynist control freak? He was so against everything that Matthew did and now that he's dead, Robert is so pumped to get control again. Could he have been anymore obvious when he started asking Mary, the grieving widow, about issues? Seriously dude. What the heck? Kind of the most annoying and hateable character right now.

Some Embarrassing Moments

Most people know that I am one of the most embarassing people ever.

So I thought that I would share of my most embarrassing moments of my life with you all. You're welcome.

1. When I was a freshman in high school, I had fruit loops for breakfast. I am sitting in my first period math class and I start to get really nauseous. I begin to sweat pretty visibly. It was very attractive. Instead of getting up and going to bathroom like a normal person, I just sat there. And audibly gagged. Everyone in the class looked at me as I ran away, hiding in the bathroom. I went home that day. And threw up rainbows.
2. Fifth grade was an interesting year for me. I got sick a lot. And I was obsessed with Genghis Khan too. So that made me really cool. For a class project, we got to make historical puppets and then do a puppet show with them. In Art, we made the puppets. It was then that I realized that I am hopeless with crafts. I burned myself on the hot glue gun like no one's business. But I finished Mr. Khan. He looked pretty sweet. Had a lot of yarn hair. Well, the performance night came and I was supes sick. I had lost my voice but I was determined to perform. So we start the little Hun play and it gets to my first line. I try to speak but what came out sounded more like "ABEJALKFAL." Everyone laughed. I got sad. Y'all are rude.
3. This one is real gross. So you can skip it if you want. Once, I pooped myself. At a pool. On a diving board. Don't worry, I was a child. I'm not that gross.
4. I am really shy. Yeah, you don't think so. But I am. In 8th grade, I was the only one who tried out for a choir solo, so I got it. Boom. Magic. At the choir concert, it was my solo and I stepped to the front of the stage and forgot the words. Worst part was that it was for Newsies and I frickin' love the Newsies. So that was great.
5. When I cheered for DC Dolphins, we had a game at some field in Founders. Well, I didn't know it, but I had stepped in dog poo. Everyone was all, "What is that smell? Ewww." I had no idea that it was coming from the crap on my shoe. My life.
6. My last story of this blog will be a boring one. Again, you're welcome. In 9th grade, I had a really cool foot surgery. A chunk of bone was removed from my big toe. Holler. So I am crutching around school, my crutch slipped out from under me (because it was, you know, snowy) and I ate it. Smacked my foot on the floor. Some butt face girls behind me laughed. Shoulda smacked them with my crutches. I cried. And that was it. Spent a few days in a wheelchair because I hated my life.

My life is so weird.

Beauty Reviews and Life Updates!

So I've been on a purposeful mission to discover better makeup products and to work on my skill in the whole beauty world. For those of you who know me, you know that this is odd because I'm super lazy. So, I'm working on that. I've been trying and so far it's going well!

However, I've tried a new mascara and it was possibly the worst mascara I have ever tried. Seriously. Swipe one layer on and it clumped like no one's business. No no no. Hated it. Boo you, Rimmel.

Two years ago, I purchased the OPI Black Shatter nail polish. I used it twice and I was pretty pleased with the cool shatter effect. However, I pulled it out of my nail polish case and I frowned like Grumpy Cat. It had dried up and therefore was not useable. Bummer. So I was left with just crumbs of black shatter.

Other than that, I've had good luck with my other beauty endeavors.

I have been trying L'Oreal's True Match liquid foundation and it's pretty great. Lasts all day and doesn't make my face oily. I'm in the color alabaster, which is code for "Darn girl, you are pale." I've accepted it.

As far as my life goes, things are supes good. I'm loving my job. Greeks are thrilling to work with. They really care about their organizations and it's nice to see that passion. We just got a new sorority on campus and I am pumped. That was one of my goals, so checkity check that off! We're getting closer to our Leadership Experience and I am getting so excited about it! It has been cool to work with this program and see it come together. I'm PUMPED! Wahoo!

School is school. Still so bored with it. I want to be challenged and I'm not experiencing that, which is super discouraging. I just have to keep my head down and make it to May 2015. I'm almost done with my first semester, too! Only two more classes and two more papers! Finally. I'm ready.
