Beautiferous Boston Bound (not to mention bound for inevitable arguments on the 5-hour car ride)

     Hey there, ham helpers! I still can't believe I overlooked the fact that I was going to Boston on P-t-B-G-C, but it appears that I did indeedy. Dreadfully sorry about that one... 
     *ahem* Anyhoodles (let this be the one and only time I say this today), I am in the middle of an utterly tiring car ride, sandwiched between my two li'l brothers and the car door. I surrrpose I should be glad I'm not in the middle, though. :) So here I am, reading my dearly beloved Gone with the Wind (sob! Only 93 pages left! How will I live without the drama of Scarlett, Rhett, Ashley, Melly, and my favorite character: Wade O'Hara, Charles Hamilton and Scarlett's son?!) and listening to Weezer's Beverly Hills and Flo Rida's Good Feeling. I hope I'll love Boston, but I'm sure I will. I've been there before, in October 2011 (I thiiiink...), and I'm pretty sure I thought it was cool. So do wish me luck! I'll be reporting later today, or perchance tomorrow. Have we EVER got a seriously packed sched. for the next few days... stay tuned like my dear acquaintance Chuck's (HAW HAW!!!! Chortle chortle guffaw--that's becoming my signature thing now, isn't it?--! Chuck :D You're going to kill me for this, aren't you?)... my dear acquaintance Chuck's guitar! 
sooperciao,

My Newfound Fondness for 5Ks

    Whew! ... I guess that's my new favorite word on P-t-B-G-C, excepting "anyhoodles" and "y'all". I wonder what that tells about me. I suppose I'm just living life rawther quickly! Chortle chortle guffaw to my dear friend Telt the Pelt! :D
    So *ahem* anyhoodles, over the weekend I ran a 5K (the equivalent of 3.1 customary miles) in a neighboring town. ⅗ of our rawther large family ran in the run: my *clenches jaw* charming little brother, aka bother; me, myself, and I; and my dear paternal unit. My 3-year-old li'l bro and mom stayed at home, although I'm SURE li'l Chaz did it with difficulty, seeing as he so would if he could run. My mumsie is a runner too, except I think she's more of the treadmill kind (I don't understand that! Why on this pink Earth would you want to run in front of a beautifully interesting WALL?! But to each their own, I surrrrpose...).  What happened to her head?!
    Not gonna say it, not gonna say it... on Saturday, as you know because of my lovely repetition, I ran a 5K (my second), and BOY OH BOY was it HOT! Remember that post... I'm gonna tag it right now. Grumble grumble... Wheel, about the post "Thank Jolly Gum for Air Conditioning!", it wasn't as hot out, but it sure felt that way! The things that gave me energy were the nice denizens (haw haw! Thanks, dear thesaurus! You're always there in my time of mind-blank...) on the side of the street, handing out water in muy, muy lindas cups that I WOULD have saved because they had little blue fish that looked like squids on them, if not for the fact that I was in the middle of a run. Terribly inconvenient, if I do say so myself... but oh vell, oh vell. My time was 30:51, I placed 103rd (all right, alllll right) in the whole thing, and I had a 9:56-minute mile, boo-ya! It was completely awesometatious. Plus, I had two bitsy bags of salty and mmm-buttery popcorn because, according to the running expert that is my dear old dad, salt-slash-sodium is good for you after you run. Score!
    Speaking of which, my dad scored *wait for it... waaait for it* TENTH in the WHOLE ENTIRE RUN!! Woot woot, Dad! You da man! :) And dear li'l Niffy Dear (as I like to call my brother to push his buttons) scored 93rd, which is awesome too. Great job, doooods!
Live life jes' swimmingly like squids on little blue cups! Squid jewelry for ya: 
popcornly yours,
Pinky xx

The Amusingness of the Teenager Posts

     Buenas dias, mis amigos! Bueeeenas diiiias... that's from a really funny-yet-catchy song that we learned during Spanish, and it kinda stuck with my group of friends... especially my friend Missy Polka, aka Anonymous. Fun-nee!
     So anyhoodles (you'll hear me saying/typing that for the next year or so, by ze way), I came to talk to y'all about the magic of the teenager posts. Here's one for starters: 
Completely funny, eh? And there are much, much more! Me and my "deer genius" friend love these so very muchly, and in fact, they're on my profile page. Hey! Now here's a reason to get people to actually look at my profile. I for one think that it's the most important thing besides the posts on good ol' Proud to Be Geek Chic! Enjoy this happy collage of teenager posts, and soon I'm sure you'll think these are just as funny. And also, it'd be COOL (not sonderbar) if you could check out my profile... so could ya? Thanks a good ton! :) 
                      
Wow, OK. Got a little carried away there, huh? Sorry about that! See you guys soon! Hmm... stay divertidos like mushrooms, bow ties, and tin lunchboxes! Exsqueeze me for the Spanish, but finals are on Monday and I need to prep, prep, prep! Yikes *slanty smile* or just this little guy: :-/
con cariño,

The Perils of Italian Ices

'Ello, chappies! :)

        Today was Field Day at skool (yeahhh, I'm cool! LOL), but it wasn't much fun because my only friend on my team was Oldman, and those who know her are aware of the fact that she is very serious about her sports. My idea of a "serious" time playin' sports is laughing maniacally with my friends, singing Airplanes (B.o.B) or Smooth Criminal (honestly. I don't need to tell you who sings this), and dancing the completely sonderbar *German! Ja!* dance--that I sorta kinda a little copied from Just Dance 3--to Back in Time (Pitbull). So we don't exactly see eye to eye in that department. 

        During the majority of the time, I basically walked around the field, looking lost... and it didn't exactly help that my whole team was great at basketball and soccer and all them apples, but I was the one bringing everyone down. A bad feeling, I tell you! :) But then the torture ended *whew! Finally...* and we had a partay-type-thing with pizza and Italian ices. 

       Now I have to lecture you guys on the hazards of Italian ices. One, I'm not even sure they're Italian (c'mon! Who can trust Americans anymore after we find out that fortune cookies originated from Japan?!), and if they are, they only came from Marco Polo bringing ideas to Emperor Nero, who liked to fiddle. Or maybe I'm just thinking of Principal Nero from the... (4th? 5th? Yeah...) 5th book in the Series of Unfortunate Events. Either way, I rest my case. Huh... who knew? An S.S. lesson! Chortle chortle guffaw!

        Second point: it's disgustingly artificial! A bunch of my friends (you know who you are, Jezebel!) had jes' about three or four cups of Italian ice and their lips and teeth were all blue--hokay, that part was funny--but that's just... nasty! How can you eat so much airless flavor? I'm sure it's all just sugar and eventually we'll all have major cavities. Is it REALLY worth it?

        So you guys gotta remind me to show you my new R2-D2 lunchbox! It's actually one of those tin ones that's so epically retro-rad and AWESOMETATIOUS! Can't wait to show y'all. I'm just too lazy to take pix right now. Haw haw... sorry :) 

       OH MY GUM!!! I actually just found it online! Here's a pic for all to see, and I'll share the story with you prettay soon. 

Thanks, geekalerts.com! I love how all the sites that showed up have either "nerd" or "geek" in them. eatsleepgeek.com, geekalerts.com, thatsnerdalicious.com (LOL!), geekextreme.com, absolutelygeeky.tumblr.com... very nice, guys! Stay geeky like my science teacher Mr. Doherty (you shoulda seen his face when I showed him R2-D2!)!

H&M Really DOES Have Its Benefits (like I ever doubted that anyway)

             Between hanging out with my friends at a street fair for MORE THAN THREE HOURS, *going to* AZ Flyer's tae kwon do ceremony (my little black belt!), splurging all my birthday money and a gift card on a shopping spree to H&M (so worth it) and watching the two-hour season finale of Touch (for those of you who watch: can you believe what happened with Amelia's mom, Jake, and Martin? And Clea was so nice! Girl poweuuuur :) ), I've been having a great weekend. So what that the dreaded oral report is tomorrow? I'm actually feeling pretty chilled out and confident... although it might just be that I'm in denial. Chortle chortle chortle! 

            Anyhoodles (apparently anything sounds cuter when it has "oodles" at the end of it... I do like the sound of "anyhoodles", haw haw), when I was at H&M with my ever-patient mother, I found all sorts of übercute clothes. (including but not limited to a striped romper, a polka-dotty dress, black and pink skinny belts, floral hair clips--although knowing me, I can't go without buying a big ol' flower accessory ;)--and sea-green shorts). 

            Another fabulous find was an adorable box of "plasters" (read: a c'est adorable name for Band-Aids) that look like cute French cartoon characters--who needs Sesame Street and Spongebob (although I've always hated him) now?--called Barbapapa. Apparently there's a whole species of these little, cute, and furry guys, including the aptly-named parents, Barbapapa and Barbamama, and their seven children of various names, but all with the prefix of "Barba" (examples of Barbabeau, who is my favorite because he's an artist; Barbalala, who is green and is a musician; and Barbabravo, who is sooperstrong). Here are some pictures below:

They were SO cute! I almost don't want to use them now... notice I said "almost"! :)
Stay helpfully handy like a good plaster... I like that much better than 'Band-Aids'. Why don't we use 'plasters' instead of 'adhesive bandages', huh? That I'd really like to know...

Designer on the Verge: Mary Katrantzou

Designer on the Verge: Mary Katrantzou by polyvore-editorial on polyvore.com

Um... SWANG to you all (my favorite exclamation; I got it off of Curious George)! I love this awesome collection of coral reef-esque dresses, jackets, and accessories and I wanted to share them. I discovered them on Polyvore and it was love at first sight. Hope you love them as much as I do! My one complaint: no squids... oh well. When I have my own fashion line (Pinky alla Moda, of course), I will make a whole collection of squid rompers, scarves, and bow ties, just you wait! Ha ha. Bye everyboday, and stay united (that's the word I was looking for...) like a coral reef!
