is really G’mork.
The Isle of Ice Cream, or What I Talk About With My Friends When I'm Bored, or It's Too Damn Hot In Texas

Caroline: Scrubs apparently gives her dog a treat just for going to the bathroom.
Becks: Wow. I can’t believe she gives her a dog a treat for normal bodily functions.
Caroline: Exactly! Her vet told her that her dog is overweight, and no wonder! She always gets treats.
Becks: Haha, same problem with Americans. They are all overweight because they get too many treats.
Caroline: Right. You peed, here’s a burger!
Becks: Or in my case - It’s Thursday, time for ice cream. It’s Friday, time for ice cream. It’s Saturday, time for ice cream….
Caroline: lol, I’m having to stay away from stupid Amy’s.
Becks: It’s tough. I’ve discovered HEB Creamy Creations Chocolate Chip ice cream, and damn, it’s good. And cheap.
Caroline: Oh no!
Becks: Yeah, very bad
Caroline: That sounds amazing
Becks: I’ve pretty much learned that if I even walk into the ice cream isle at the store I will get ice cream, so I have to stay away from the isle.
::Pause::
Becks: aisle. sheesh. But an Ice Cream Isle would be pretty cool. The Isle of Ice Cream.
Caroline: Indeed! I’m imagining it right now….
Becks: I see…upside down waffle cones with waterfalls of hot fudge streaming out of them….the sand on the shore is colored sprinkles….the boulders are scoops of different flavors……what do you see?
Caroline: lol now that you’ve described that delectable scene, it’s all I can think about
Becks: ha ha ha. well, Marci would love it. It would be really cold.
Caroline: The cliffs would be made of chocolate chip cookie dough chunks. So that I can just walk up to them and grab a bite.
Becks: ooooh, good addition.
Caroline: You’re right, Marci would die happy there.
::Pause::
Caroline: Something needs to be made of dark chocolate. The tree trunks? The tree leaves can be mint chocolate.
Becks: I foresee a blog entry in the making….
Caroline: lol, such a refreshing post it would be!
Becks: Indeed.
You know you're a geek when...

…you spend your Saturday night playing Nintendo Wii in a conference room at Cisco.
I really, really, REALLY need a life.
So do my friends.
Sheesh

I have three blog entries that I’ve started but haven’t posted yet.
One of them is way too long but I can’t decide what to cut.
One of them is really good but only half way finished. I think it’s going to be long too, and then I’ll have to make cuts.
One of them is too angry and needs heavy editing.
I hope I don’t forget to take care of them so I can eventually post them.
I’m quite fond of them. :)
I have decided...

…that heaven is a place where chewing gum and other noisy candy doesn’t exist, and where people chew quietly with their mouths closed when they eat.
Maybe I should do this for a living....

After all, I’ve already got all the roaches.
Meme
Posted by Rebecca Wed, 26 Mar 2008 14:23:00 GMT
I was tagged by Yellow Turtle to post this meme on my blog, so here we go.
The rules are:
- Link to the person who tagged you.
- Post the rules here
- Share 7 random or weird facts about yourself
- Tag 7 random people at the end of the post, linking to them.
Leave a comment on their blog so that they know they’ve been tagged.
I just found out on my last birthday that I am a fan of David Bowie. A lot of you know that I like the movie Labyrinth, mostly because I was scarred by the spandex as a young child. However, my friend (was it Marci or Caroline? I don’t remember, sorry) played some David Bowie for me at my birthday party, and I realized I knew and loved most of the songs but had never noticed it was David Bowie singing them. Thus my revelation that I am a fan.
I love colubrid snakes. I think they are beautiful and entertaining. My brother and sister had pet snakes when I was a kid and it was like having “Wild America” in your living even if CNN was on the tube. I don’t think I’d ever want one as a pet, even though they are terribly low-maintenance, but I still think they are fascinating creatures and are fun to play with.
Sometimes I eat salt by itself, right out of the shaker.
When I was a kid I had a crush on Roger Rabbit. He made me laugh. I think that’s the only crush I’ve had that is weirder than my Jeff Goldblum crush.
I can’t drink water if it has been in a glass over night. It grosses me out to think that I’m drinking dusty water. As a result, I highly identify with that creepy little girl from Signs.
My favorite poem is “Very Like A Whale” by Ogden Nash.
Until I was too old to join, I often thought about running away to join the Air Force because I secretly want to fly blackhawk helicopters.
I’ll tag Dominic, Blabber Blog, lippylou, lex,finalite missris, and spherical aberations.
Faculty Quirks
Posted by Rebecca Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:24:00 GMT
My office is in the center of a large suite that has several faculty offices, a copy room, and a conference room off of it.
Every time a faculty member has a meeting in the conference room, they always leave the door wide open and are always really loud. It bothers me, but I get over it because in the grand scheme of things it’s not that big of a deal.
The funny thing is that inevitably, halfway through the meeting someone comes in my office for help, or I get a phone call, which requires me to be slightly louder than a mouse.
Every time this happens, the faculty member suddenly realizes that I exist, and that I have an office just through the door of the conference room. Then, they get up and close the door like it’s the biggest annoyance on the planet.
My job amuses me. A lot.
Picking Up the Pen Again
Posted by Rebecca Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:40:00 GMT
The twenty-six days that have lapsed since I last posted have been interesting and would have likely made for some very intriguing posts.
Too bad I didn’t feel like writing.
See, I have this uncanny knack for taking simple things and creating pressure out of them. Like writing.
Writing is simple. I love it. When I put my mind to it, I write pretty well. And I have good ideas.
But my writing is never good enough for me. And I’ve come to terms with the fact that it’s never going to be. Because I’m slightly insane and have perfectionist tendencies. C’est la vie.
So instead of avoiding writing, I’m just going to proceed with vomiting words all over the internet like I used to.
Hmmm. Apparently I digress easily also.
Here’s a long rambling summary of the last 26 days of my life.
States of mind: Depressed, confused, pissed, frustrated, jealous, excited, content, exuberant, stifled, frightened, happy, peaceful, hateful.
Becky and I are moving into an adorable duplex not far from our current apartment. As a result, I’m damn near broke and loving how God keeps supplying all my needs. He rocks, as always. Like that time yesterday when He brought to mind my spare change jar that I keep in my room. The coin count revealed over a hundred bucks in change that I’m going to use to pay my emergency room bill from Christmas. Yay for not getting a nasty black mark on my credit record!
I’m trucking like the doo dah man once told me you got to play your hand. Sometimes the cards ain’t worth a dime if you don’t lay em’ down.
I love how Grateful Dead lyrics often fit my state of mind. Perhaps I should be scared instead.
Dom and I are doing well. Things are quickly going slow and I’m ever so excitingly frightened.
I’m enjoying not having a class. My head would be bald and scabby from me yanking out my hair by the roots if I was still in the class. And having to pack. And having to move. And answer hard questions about relationships. And study the book of Daniel. Talk about happy headache.
I’m wrapping up my spring break vacation which saw me driving to Big D and back to visit my sis, packing up most of my room, and hanging out with Caroline’s bridal party on Friday to figure out where we’re going to put the tables when we set up for her reception in May. I ate a lot of fried food on Fryday but apparently that’s ok because H. Werle told me I looked skinny today which pretty much made my week.
I’m still upset about my face. Not sure why it’s freaking out but plan to see a dermatologist for it after the move. When I have time and money again.
I voted in the primary. w00t!
I’m going camping over Easter and will be doing lots of geocaching because no matter how hard I try I can’t seem to rid myself of my nerdy tendencies.
I’m studying astronomy from a hebraic perspective. It’s been fun and enlightening. We’ll see how it turns out.
I affixed my TxTag to my car. Finally. After having it for two months.
My toenails got a fresh coat of paint yesterday, and the warm sunny weather confirmed to me that I somehow need to get a little tan. Because man, talk about pasty.
I met Heather Armstrong. She signed my poopie list. Thanks for helping with that, Caroline.
It’s been a great 26 days. I learned a lot, but apparently I never learned when to stop. ;)
