Ok, because I owe you guys like three weeks worth of FOTW because I've been a total loser and haven't posted anything, I decided to highlight the men of one of my favorite TV shows: Drop Dead Diva.
It only comes on during the summer and YES it is on Lifetime, but I just love it so much. Perhaps it's because I can sort of relate to the main character and perhaps it's because the characters are just so likeable and often hilarious, and perhaps more than likely it's because the three main men on the show are just so great to look at. Josh Stamberg, Jackson Hurst, and (my personal fave) Ben Feldman:
The first three pictures are of Josh Stamberg who plays Jane's (the main character) boss. He does play a bit of a jerk in the show, but you can tell he likes/appreciates Jane's character. Plus he is a very handsome older gentleman. He's been in some other things but none that I can recall, but he is quite attractive I will say.
The next three pictures are of Jackson Hurst who plays Grayson, Jane's main love interest (that she can't get) on the show. He is gorgeous and as a fellow Texan (born in Houston), I love him even more. His character is just so sweet and kind and you just want so bad for the two to get together (but then at the same time hope they don't so the tension can keep the show interesting). He is definitely one of the men on a show that I wouldn't mind seeing more often on screen.
The last three pictures are of Ben Feldman, who I'm not going to lie is one of my favorite characters on the show. If you couldn't tell from some of my FOTWs, I tend to go for the sweet, cute, adorable, and kind of nerdy characters/guys. Ben Feldman's character, Fred, definitely fits the mold. He is Jane's guardian angel (long story, check out the synopsis on the IMDB page), and as such he is very naive in many ways when it comes to love, which just makes him adorable. He is also incredibly funny in many ways. Briefly in the first season they "kicked" him off the show, which made me so upset because I loved him! I'm not sure if it was just a writing device or if enough fans complained, but they brought him back towards the end of the 1st season and he's been on ever since (thank goodness!).
Anyway, if you've never seen this show, I highly recommend it because it's just a cute and funny summer show that I love to watch. It airs on Lifetime on Sunday nights (at 8pm I believe, but I always just DVR it) and the episode is also available on Lifetime's website the next day. It's on the 3rd season at the moment, so if you need to catch up, I'm sure there are plenty of other websites where you can find the show (check out Project Free TV; Google it, and it should be one of the first that pop up).
So for this FOTW: Not only is the show fun, but the leading men are just beautiful to look at, don't ya think?
Beware. These may be the ramblings of a crazed lunatic. Or they could be hilarious and awesome. You decide.

A Quarter of A Century Old
Today is the anniversary of the day I came into this world. I am 25 years old. It's pretty crazy to think about. Especially regarding how many significant life changes that have happened/will happen in this week alone. I didn't plan much for this birthday this year because of how much stuff I had to do/worry about this week. But luckily, I have some pretty awesome friends and a fantastic family that helped ensure my birthday was a good one.
Yesterday several friends took me out to dinner and I loved it! I enjoyed talking with all of them and eating delicious food. Then today, my family took me to Macaroni Grill and bought me some birthday cookies. They also bought me a chef's torch which I am SUPER excited about because now I can be all fancy and make creme brulee!!! (They had bought me ramekins for Christmas, so now I really can make creme brulee.)
Also, several other friends posted sweet and occasionally hilarious notes on my FB page/texts and I loved it. I talked about a few on my Tumblr today that made me laugh:

- Like when I got a text from a number I didn't know and the convo that ensued (click here)
- And some highlarious FB notes I got today (click here)
I really do have some pretty awesome friends and family, and I'm so grateful you are in my life! I have a lot planned for my 25th year of life and I'm so glad I get to share it with all of you.
Thanks for making my 25th birthday so great!

My apologies
Guys, I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a few weeks. Life has been pretty crazy as of late and I just haven't had time to sit down and get some blogging done. I had a midterm for my online class that I was freaking out about so the weekend of the 4th of July was spent studying and then taking the test. Then this weekend I had my pre-Harry Potter Harry Potter party, which was a huge success and I had tons of fun, and also some good times out in the boonies with a few friends where I swam, ate fresh blackberries, and shot some guns. Pretty awesome.
Sadly, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to blog this week either because I'm MOVING this Friday!!! I know, I so haven't filled you guys in on things. I'm such a terrible blogger. :( But, I'm hoping that I'll be able to write up something soon. Until then, here's a brief recap on a few happenings and thoughts:

I'm such a terrible blogger. :( But, I'm hoping that I'll be able to write up something soon. Until then, here's a brief recap on a few happenings and thoughts:
- I'm super excited and sad for the upcoming HP movie since it's the last one (Of course I'm going to the midnight showing)! Looking back at the older movies, those kids were so little then and are SOO grown up now! ALSO, the kid who played Neville is now incredibly hot. No, really.
- I only have about a month left of my class, which I'm glad about because I want it over so bad.
- Speaking of school, I met with my professor to discuss my idea for my capstone project, and she absolutely loved it, so I'm way excited to get started on the research for it and everything. It's going to be off the hook!
- I got a new position at work. Before, I edited journals, but now starting tomorrow, I'll be editing books and also helping out on the wiki they want to start. I'm excited and hoping that this new position (with a new boss and new cube) will be a good thing for me.
- This Friday is the day I can officially move into my apartment. It's in Richardson, so it's not too far away from my house, but it does mean I'm closer to work and school and also in a different YSA ward. I have mixed feelings about this fact.
- Also... I haven't started packing. I've packed 1 box and my room is a total disaster area. I might not be fully moving in on Friday... it might have to be in phases.
- On Tuesday I will be 25 years old. A QUARTER OF A CENTURY. I can do exciting things at this age now... like rent a car without having to pay an extra fee. And... that's about it. But, yeah, I can't believe I'll be 25 in 2 days. It's kind of crazy. I might have an existential breakdown... or at least I'm considering it.
See? I've had a lot of things going on lately... I hope you guys are doing well, and I promise as soon as things calm down a bit or I get a spare moment, I'll try to post some more things. I will say, I tend to post more frequently on my Tumblr if anyone cares to see what I'm up to on there....

FOTW: Chris Pine
As promised, I do have an American guy this time around (although, I will add, he can do an excellent English accent and also studied acting in England).
Chris Pine
I fell in love with him when I saw him in Princess Diaries 2, and I've loved him in everything I've seen him in ever since. I mean, have you not seen the new Star Trek? How could you not be in love with the man? And yes, I even watched that terrible Just My Luck film he did with Lindsay Lohan JUST because he was in it.
Although I'm sure my dear friend would fight me for him, he'd be worth it. Honestly, he is gorgeous, and his blue eyes are amazing. ALSO, may I just add that he has an English degree?!!!! I mean hello, we were meant for each other!
So anyways, this week's FOTW is Chris Pine: absolutely dreamy and loves literature. Sounds like a match made in Heaven to me.
*Side note: I promise to do a real/personal post soon. A LOT of stuff has happened recently that I want to tell you all about, but it's also prevented me from typing it all up in a post. But, I promise it's coming... Be ready.

FOTW: Two For One-Second
Here's your 2nd FOTW for this week!
I recently saw this delightful young man (bah... umm he's only 3 years older than me!) in Thor, and it reminded me how much I loved him in the 5 minutes at the beginning of Star Trek that he was in before his character got killed off.
You know who I'm talking about:
Chris Hemsworth
Can I just tell you, it was so hard to pick from all of the amazingly sexy pictures on Google of him for that slideshow? No, seriously, they are like all really good and I just want to stare at all of them.
However, I will say, I definitely like him now in his Thor, bulkier, muscular self than in his younger, skinner "Home and Away" self (it was a TV show he was in in Australia). He looked very boyish, which isn't bad, but I definitely like him more manly and studlier.
Also, I think he is more attractive than his younger brother Liam* (who is the same age as my brother!) Although they are both cute, don't get me wrong:
*Who, as a side note, will be playing Gale in The Hunger Games movie.
But anyways, Thor was great, and I'm excited to see him in The Avengers as well. And... really anything else he's in. He is just so beautiful to look at AND he's Australian. Look... I'm sorry I have a thing for guys with accents. Next week I'll try to pick an American guy... :)
Bonus FOTW: Chris Hemsworth, way cuter than his brother Liam (and from what I can tell tons cuter than his older brother Luke), and definitely looks better beefed up.

FOTW: Two For One-First
So... I'm a total slacker and I missed my FOTW for last week. Don't get me wrong; I totally had one in mind and lined up, but I never got around to actually typing it up and getting it posted. So, lucky for you, you get 2 FOTW this week (I'll post the 2nd one a little later in the week)! I know... pretty exciting.
If you've been around me or follow me on Twitter/Tumblr, you'll know that ever since I saw X-Men: First Class that I absolutely loved it and fell even more in love with James McAvoy. But, since I've already had Mr. McAvoy as a FOTW, I decided it'd be best to give other beautiful men a chance and not have a repeat. Well, I also fell more in love with this man in X-Men: First Class:
Michael Fassbender
The X-Men movie was not the first thing I was lucky enough to see that handsome man in. No, I saw him in Jane Eyre and I LOVED his Rochester (and I've seen lots of versions of that movie):
He was also in Inglorious Basterds, but I have yet to see that movie. Before that he was in some crappy films, and in a lot of TV series and TV movies. But he is great and very sexy. Yes, he plays Magneto, the "bad guy" in X-Men, but he does a very good job. And the friendship that Magneto and Professor X have in this new X-Men (before Magneto becomes evil) is amazing and they (James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender) do such an excellent job in portraying their relationship. Also, they are incredibly cute together in interviews, and you can tell that they really are friends. (Click here for one such interview, where they interview each other.)
So, a little belated, but the first FOTW: Michael Fassbender, handsome, versatile, and did I mention that he too has an accent? :)

FOTW: 80s Edition
So, I don't know if you know this, but I have a Tumblr. It's kind of like a blog but kind of like Twitter, and I love it. I've "met" so many cool people on there and learned more about those I already knew. I like it. Don't worry, I won't be abandoning you for Tumblr, but I enjoy it. Anywhos, they have a bunch of 30-day challenges that float around on Tumblr that you can do, and being bored and in a Tumblr lull, so to speak, I decided to do one of the challenges. I picked one about movies (of course).
One of the questions (and the fact Joy Luck Club was on TV a few days ago, which I totally forgot he was in), reminded me how much I adored (and still kind of do) this man:
Andrew McCarthy
He is in one of my guilty pleasure 80s movies: Mannequin. I love it. For more explanation click here.
So yeah, I always thought Andrew McCarthy was way cute, and he's definitely not terrible looking now-a-days (see the last picture in the slideshow). In the 90s, (after his hey-day "brat pack" years in the 80s) he sure did make a lot of made for TV movies. And apparently he's been in some TV shows recently, but I haven't seen them. I still like to remember him as his 80s self. :)
FOTW: A blast from the past and a reminder of how some 80s movies will live on forever. :)

While in San Diego...
I pretty much decided that I want to get married here:
And then have my reception/stay the night here:
Also you should watch this incredibly over-the-top video they have advertising their lodge: Click Here. (And yes, there really are kilt-wearing men that open your car, and REAL bellhops all dressed up like they are in movies with a hat and everything that take care of your luggage). (Side note: I felt super sorry for the kilted men because it was REALLY cold outside... I hope they had some covering on underneath unlike real Scottish men.)
The lodge was where my family had a luncheon after my cousin's graduation (the reason why we went to San Diego in the first place). It's famous for its golf course because it's where they had the 2008 US Open (cool, but ummm don't care about golf). It has a view of the ocean, it is beautiful, and the food was freakin' amazing. I would definitely love to get that food again (hence the wedding reception idea).
To me, I think this is a wonderful plan, except for the whole... I need to find a man to marry first. Oh and the fact that this would cost a FORTUNE, and therefore either I need to come into some money through a long lost relative or publishing a best-seller/becoming famous OR my future husband has to be rolling in some Benjamins himself.
Yeah... we'll see if my wish actually comes true. But, other than that, San Diego was beautiful and cold which I loved since when I came back to Texas it was disgustingly hot (in comparison) and I wanted to go back immediately. I actually don't think I'd mind living there either, but we'll see if that ever happens either. Here's a few other pics to enjoy:

FOTW: Chris O'Dowd
This week's FOTW was a last minute change. As you might have noticed, it's coming a little later in the week than normal. I didn't have a post already lined up and I was trying to think about who it should be. I had a few in mind that had come about because of recent conversations, but now I'm REALLY glad I didn't just put one of them up (they'll get on here eventually, I'm sure). Why?
Because I saw Bridesmaids last night, and not only did I laugh my butt off, but I fell in love.
First off, if you haven't seen Bridesmaids and you are a female between the ages of 20 and 70 and not morally opposed to Rated R movies, you need to go see this film. Not only is it hilarious but it is also touching and has a great message.
Second, the man who plays the main love interest is ADORABLE!!! The whole time I kept thinking, this main is cute, has an accent, and his character is just so dang precious! As soon as I came home, I looked him up on IMDB. Chris O'Dowd (the last picture is him in my favorite part in Bridesmaids):
Turns out, I've seen him before, only he had a full beard and played a bad guy (it was Gulliver's Travels, which I'm sure none of you saw. What can I say? I'm a fan of Jack Black.). He hasn't been in much stuff, at least nothing I've really seen, but he is cute. Not a hunk, but adorable nonetheless.
Now, it could be because of the character he plays in Bridesmaids, which I would like to add I was not the only one who fell in love with them in that theater because there were several women behind us that were ooh-ing and aww-ing right along with me. His character is so sweet and tries to do well and be supportive/encouraging to Kristen Wiig's character, and you just can't help but love him.
Also... did I mention he has an accent? Because he does... he's Irish!
So a little belated but well worth it, the FOTW is Chris O'Dowd.

FOTW: Lee Pace
A while ago some friends told me that I should watch Pushing Daisies mainly because it was cute and funny and because it had Kristen Chenowith in it, who I think is pretty amazing. Then my mom watched it and told me the same thing. Then I discovered it was on Netflix Instant Streaming and got really excited!
Thanks to Netflix, Pushing Daisies has turned out to be the TV show I watch while I make my cakes and the decorations for them. I don't know why this is, but it is. And, since I made some decorations this last weekend, I of course watched a few episodes of this awesome show (honestly, you should watch it too because it's cute, and I'm so sad it got canceled) and was reminded of how cute, handsome, and adorable the main character is:
Lee Pace is cute, and what I love is he isn't like GORGEOUS like a hunk, but he is very cute and handsome. I'll be honest though, I am pretty much only basing this judgement on his appearance in Pushing Daisies. I looked him up on IMDB, and I really haven't seen anything else he's been in, or if he's been in it, I can't recall his character in it (When in Rome, for example). BUT, he is going to be in Breaking Dawn (meh) and The Hobbit (WOOT!).
However, after some research (aka googleing and IMDB bio reading), I discovered some things about him that make me like him even more:

- He was born in Oklahoma (which is not as good as being born in TX, but it's close!)
- He grew up in Houston (see he did finally get to Texas!!!)
- The man was so good at acting he went to Julliard. JULLIARD PEOPLE!!!
So this week's FOTW is Lee Pace: mostly Texan, Julliard graduate, and all around handsome man.

The Glorious Weekend of Nothingness
Ok, I lie, it wasn't really nothingness, but it was the first weekend in a long while that I didn't have to worry or procrastinate doing school work!
Yes, on Wednesday, I finished my first year of grad school. Pretty crazy huh?
I survived!
And now that I was done I got as much social interaction with others and doing things I like as I could:

And now that I was done I got as much social interaction with others and doing things I like as I could:
- Wednesday night I hung out with some girlfriends until much later than I should have since I had work the next day.
- Thursday... I don't even remember what I did, which of course means it must have been awesome and chill (I probably just chilled at home with the fam, honestly... actually now that I think about it... I think I went shopping).
- Friday I had off and got my hair did and then went to a party and then the movies with some friends.
- Then on Saturday I went garage-saleing with my dad, little bro and sis (which was an adventure) and then I spent the rest of the day shopping and chatting it up with one of mi amiga mayor. :)
- Sunday was... you know Sunday, but I did get to sleep in and then I spent the night making cupcake decorations for a baby shower this weekend.
I know... you're pretty jealous. Well, don't be... you could be one of these friends in the future because I'm only taking one online class this summer, so I'm going to live it up as best I can.
Who wants to party next?!

FOTW: James McAvoy
If you know me but at all, you know that I have a great affinity for a man with an accent. This week's FOTW is definitely a man with an accent, more importantly, a hot man with an accent:
When I first saw James McAvoy, it was in The Chronicles of Narnia, where I'll admit I said to myself, that is one pretty cute half man, half goat:
But, I soon forgot about him, until I saw him in Penelope, which was cute. BUT they made him have an American accent, which I was not okay with.
And then it happened. I saw him in Becoming Jane, and I fell in love. The movie itself is not a super awesome movie, but James McAvoy is pretty good. And he does so well at flirting, and they have the best near kiss ever:
Then Atonement was awesome (we'll just ignore that Wanted movie that I was so close to seeing because of him but heard terrible things about so I never saw it), and I'm super excited to see him in The Conspirator (despite him having an American accent; thanks Annaleese for telling me about that movie!) AND X-Men: First Class as Professor X.
So, this week's FOTW is James McAvoy--blue eyes, dark hair, and a Scottish accent? I'll take it!

And then it happened. I saw him in Becoming Jane, and I fell in love. The movie itself is not a super awesome movie, but James McAvoy is pretty good. And he does so well at flirting, and they have the best near kiss ever:
Then Atonement was awesome (we'll just ignore that Wanted movie that I was so close to seeing because of him but heard terrible things about so I never saw it), and I'm super excited to see him in The Conspirator (despite him having an American accent; thanks Annaleese for telling me about that movie!) AND X-Men: First Class as Professor X.
So, this week's FOTW is James McAvoy--blue eyes, dark hair, and a Scottish accent? I'll take it!

FOTW: Zachary Levi
Clearly, I'm on a "nerd" trend as of late. Zachary Levi is best known for his role as Chuck Bartowski (aka Charles Carmichael) on the NBC TV show "Chuck" (which if you have not seen, you are missing out because the entire show is cute and charming, and full of heart, as well as love, action, and comedy :) ) (He also appeared on a TV show called "Less Than Perfect" also, but I unfortunately have not seen that show. Wonder if it's on Netflix...).
Anyway, I love Zach on "Chuck" because he is so cute and honest and nerdy. And, I'm pretty sure that his character is not far from his real-life personality (I follow him on Twitter; I can tell). As evidenced by the Star Trek pose in the slideshow, he is a HUGE nerd and he loves video games and has even created his own shirts/products/site: The Nerd Machine.
THEN it gets even better, the man can SING. Have you seen Tangled?? That's totally him singing as the voice of Flynn Rider. See:
Want to see more of him singing (because honestly who wouldn't)? No problem, click here, and here, and here.
Ahhh he's adorable. And I heart him.
This week's FOTW is Zachary Levi: He can sing, he's a nerd, he's gorgeous, he seems pretty down to Earth, and he's only 6 years older than me! (BONUS!)

Alone at the Movies
On Wednesday I decided that I would go to the movies by myself, something I'm pretty sure I have never done in my life. Somehow I always think I'll hate it or I'll look like a loser if I go alone. That and I always want to talk about the movie afterwards, and how can I do that if I went by myself?
Well, I had a coupon for a movie that would expire on Thursday, so I had to use it on Wednesday, my only available day, and since my mom decided she'd rather study and take practice tests, I went alone.
It wasn't that bad.
It helped that I went and saw what turned out to be a rather cute/good movie (Water For Elephants). But, I got a rather good seat since it was just me (something I found out when I was getting seated to be on Jimmy Fallon in New York), and the ladies next to me were pretty nice.
The movie was surprisingly good. I haven't read the book (although it was on my long list of ones I'd get to someday), and with that said, I really liked the movie (not sure how it compares though). I love Reese Witherspoon, but I am not a huge fan of Robert Pattinson. BUT, someone must have taught him how to act because he wasn't half bad. And, I've decided he definitely looks way better when he has some color in him and doesn't look like he's in pain all the time.
So, I recommend going to see Water For Elephants, and being willing to go to the movies alone. It wasn't terrible, and I might do it again. Who knows?

FOTW: Sam Huntington
I know some of you might be thinking, who the heck is Sam Huntington? I know, at first I could only recognize his face but I never really knew his name. But, once you see him, I'm pretty sure you'll know who I'm talking about:
Looks familiar, right? Still can't recall where you've seen him? Well, I'll help you out.
I first remember seeing him in a little film called Jungle 2 Jungle with Tim Allen and Martin Short:
He's also been in Sleepover (which although incredibly cheesy, I still think is adorable, but he's so cute and funny in it AND it's got Jane Lynch!!!) and in Superman Returns. He's been in various other things and TV shows (Veronica Mars, that ridiculous commercial turned TV series: Cavemen) including, most recently, Being Human on Syfy. In the TV series (which my mom discovered and told me about) he plays a werewolf who lives with a vampire and a ghost:
While I'll admit that his vampire counterpart is also very attractive, there is just something about Sam here that is just cute and kind of nerdy. His character is hilarious (more so than the vampire who always has to appear serious and brooding all the time). He just seems way more real to me, which makes me love him all the more (Team Jacob anyone?).
So this week's FOTW is Sam Huntington--a little nerdy but very funny and handsome!

Two Words
I'm tired.
The end of this semester could not come any faster. Friday I was so tired that the following things happened:
The end of this semester could not come any faster. Friday I was so tired that the following things happened:
- While in the shower that morning, I couldn't remember if I had actually washed my hair or not. (For the story click here)
- I stared at a note I had written to myself the day before for 5 minutes and still didn't know what it meant. (For the note click here)
- My flip flop broke and then I forgot my fob (what I need to get into work) in my car when I got back from lunch and was too tired and lazy to go back to get it. (For the tragic details click here)
- I didn't feel like going out and doing anything (not to mention I had homework to do), so I stayed home while my family went to the mall and declined an invitation to watch a movie with friends.
Saturday was more of the same. I stayed home and worked on stuff while my family went out. Then I got so tired of staring at my computer that I refused to do anymore work and watched Easy A on Starz on Demand with my mom and little brother while the windy storm blew our lawn furniture across our backyard and cut the power to the cable several times (we had to restart and fast forward Easy A three times).
Today was pretty good. I did nothing productive until about 10pm because I thought watching Last Cake Standing and Food Network Challenge with my family was more important.
Basically, I'm tired of having to be anti-social, and I want to be done with school, but I'll settle for the semester being over at least.
19 more days till May 13th.

Flavor of the Week
A friend of mine has a Tumblr in which every week she admits who her secret celebrity crush is and why she likes him. Because I love reading her Tumblr so much, I decided that I'd start a little admitting myself as to who my celebrity crushes are.
New series: Flavor of the Week
Every week (whenever I darn well feel like it), I'll admit to you who I'm having a secret celebrity crush on. I'm sure there'll be a few that are pretty obvious, but I'm hoping there'll be some obscure ones that you might not have thought of or even know who they are. :)
Because I want to start out the series strong, I've decided to pick someone with whom I've had a crush on since I was little and who is pretty much awesome. It will come as no surprise because I've already shared with you my undying love for this person in a previous post.
That's right, Robert Downey, Jr., or as I like to call him: RDJ. Behold the sexiness:
Yeah, he's had some rough years, but he is so much better now, has actually fixed his life, and clearly he doesn't give a crap what you say. AND that's what I love. He admits he had a problem that he was messed up and he can joke about it now that he's better. The man is hilarious as well as handsome and a great actor. I don't care how crappy the movie is, I'm going to see it because he's in it.
I heart him, and I always will.
And so RDJ is my FOTW forever. :)

Perhaps It's For The Best
A few posts ago I mentioned how my awesome plan to graduate by May 2012 was going to have to be altered. Now that I've started thinking about it, I'm thinking it's probably okay that I wasn't able to take any classes in my program this summer. I am taking one class over the summer (a what-might-turn-boring-real-quick marketing class), and it's online! YAY!
Basically, I need a break. This semester has really got to me and I'm only 2 weeks away from the end (minus final projects/papers) and I am just dragging myself to the end. It's been fun and enlightening, yes, but it's also been a ton of work and reading and creativity. And I'm just ready to not have to be so philosophical and intellectual all the time. I love it, but sometimes you just need to read fluffy teen books. You know what I mean?
Anyway, I am ready to finish up some craft projects this summer, read my fill of cheesy fiction/fantasy books and watch all the ridiculous comedy movies I've been missing because of school. Never thought I'd say this, but Friday May 13th can't come soon enough. It'll be my lucky day. :)

I Clearly Have A Problem
After today, it has become clear to me that while I am in my car I am subconsciously a bird killer. Let me explain.
I went with my mom to Panera, and when we came out, my mom found this in the front of my car:
I don't know how it got there or when it actually happened, because it's not like I examine the front of my car every time I get in or out of my car (despite what they teach you in driving school). But, somehow I hit a small defenseless bird with my car and it got stuck.
But, if you'll recall, this isn't the first time I accidentally hit a bird with my car.
So, obviously, I am an accidental murderer of birds.
It's freakin' terrible, and I'll be honest I was more grossed out than upset about the bird (so maybe something is wrong with me!?) although I was upset about the bird too. But it gets better, I had to drive with the visible guilt evident on my car for at least 6 miles while my mom taunted me saying that other people were probably wondering why I had a bird stuck on my car, that it got sucked in after it pooped on my windshield and the like.
The worst part, though, was when my mom and I arrived at our final destination and we asked the older gentleman who was present to please remove it for me. So, he got a stick and flicked it out. Then he started swishing the stick around and all these feathers came out. Yuck.
What stinks is I just had my car washed. Now it's got bird poo, feathers, guts, and blood on it, AKA the evidence of my latest killing. Birds beware, you don't know when I'll strike next!
