Pumpkin Spice Mocha Frappuccino

So lately I've been driving the local Starbucks baristas insane with my not so odd but off the menu request: a grande Mocha frappuccino with Pumpkin Spice and NO whipped cream. Per favore? Anyway it has only been done perfectly twice.. but it's still so delicious. The other day the totally annoyed drive thru dude was like 'uhhhh NO. You said LATTE.." but I'm lactarded and don't even have the word latte in my dictionary. Oh well.. I was at Starbucks on Tuesday morning and everything has been christmasified out! So that means... Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino again! yay!

So what has been keeping me so busy I can't post to my invisible audience anymore? hmm? Trying to get smart that is. I bet you've seen the commercials and are totally gonna hate me but I am a Phoenix. I attend University of Phoenix and I'm getting all of my education online! How perfect! So although I'm glued to my laptop all the time, I am using my digital time for education and less on Twilight stalking, photo editing and blogging. So be patient! I'm actually doing very well in my classes, like 98.57% well. I'm so proud of myself. Who knew I'd finally be a good student once my classes were online as I sit on my couch wrapped in a blanket?, in my work office or.. in the kitchen sitting on top of the counter? haha

So on Monday.. I spent two hours of my life stalking my obsession of course. I was streaming the New Moon Premiere live and watching the screaming fans freaking out as Rob, Kristen, Taylor and company passed. I guess that will make up for the sad fact that I will not be able to watch New Moon on tomorrow or I guess tonight?.. Whatever.. as soon as it comes out because I will be well behaved doing homework in my isolated headlands. So my screaming insides will have to wait until Sunday to unleash... and my family will embarrassingly have to witness it. haha!

So.. I don't watch much telly but when I do it's usually for the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, Ugly Betty, and whatever I decide to record on my dvr at home home. But recently Esperanza and I have not been able to sit down at the real tv to watch but rather taken over our auxiliary kitchen/internet cafe/theater to search recipes, do homework and watch Ugly Betty on hulu. Although, last night Ron called me over to the telly yelling "Hey Maria! Twilight guy is on Letterman!" So I don't actually like Letterman because.. I don't know, he's not Conan? But duhhh I went over to see Rob and giggle about him biting some guy at the premiere.

Today was a very dull to the max day.. I was at the visitor center front desk reading New Moon again while eating cereal because nobody comes to visit us anymore! So sad.. You can tell it's still dull to the max because I am still at work, by myself.. blogging. duh. Maybe it's just that everyone in the world, like the people in one of my classes, aren't in touch with their naturalistic intelligence. They don't like or care for nature and therefore stay in their heated lazy homes.. whatever.

Oh! Happy Late Birthday to my Dad!- Nov 18th.. & Happy Birthday to Andrea, Victor and Sammy! Anyway before the darkness crawls upon me once again, I shall walk through the icy air and trails home.. Goodnight world and enjoy New Moon! gaaaahhhhh!!.. btw the moon was a gorgeous crescent last night sitting over the beach after the sun set.

Delayed Delish..

I cannot express how ridiculous I feel for not posting in forever and a half.. I have no excuse for not posting and the overrated "Sorry I was busy" is definitely not acceptable. There are long past due posts just collecting digital dust in my drafts folder.. for example, the road trip to Washington, what on earth I have been doing all this time, all the silly things I am into now, and worst of all my current obsessions and Twilight related rants! So those will be posted soon enough but for now I must torture myself with these delicious pictures from the December issue of Harper's Bazaar..

Love, Mj

Twilight Sweetness is Over..

Okay.. So finally after forever and a half.. I finished Breaking Dawn. I think my life is over now.. hahaha What will I do now?!! Eeeek.

"Oh and that Farrah Fawcett chick too.. the one they always put in That 70s Show lip syncing to something.."


What?! This is just... wow. Bye bye MJ..

P.S. MJ your hair was so beautiful it makes my mj-ness jealous.

Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie

So.. yes I have been long long long time back from our superlicious roadtrip/pilgrimage to Forks.. haha which was totally not completely Twi-related.. hahaha but let me just say... WOW. Lots and lots of fun adventures! I wish I could even get started on talking about it but I might not be able to post that right now because its just too much so me just bore you with my current and totally amazing life at the Marin Headlands......lameosaurus!!

sooooo... I've been a full time power ranger for about three.. two weeks now.. and its actually not as bad as I feared it to be! Everything has been quite swell so far and minimal drama.. We even have two new interns for the lighthouse and the nike site. There's Joe from NY who's the new Georgia/Nike Missile Site intern.. who'm I shall now refer to as the super cool guitar guy who was just playing my guitar and embarrasing my lamespice 'skills' hahaha and then there's Keith the Point Bonita Lighthouse guy who's from Florida but has apparently been living all over the country the past few years which is pretty cool.. I don't actually have a nickname for him yet but I'm sure I will soon.. Uhmmm... yeahhhh I think this summer might just be a tad superlicious as well...

Esperanza and I will be leading some awesome Campfire programs this summer! She just had one this Saturday and I think it was pretty awesome but it sucked for me because I had to go help out this totally unfortunate camper who was unfortunately arrested and sent to the San Rafael city JAIL for the day all because of a stupid confusion triggered by his son running a stop sign while on a bicycle... yeah very stupidly complicated! So I tried to help the guy and his son out and went to the Law Enforcement office and waited an hour or so for one of their Rangers to give the guy his bike and gear back.. which made me miss Esp's program and be working until like 8pm when I was off at 5:30!! so yeahhh but ehhh I'm excited for the Campfires to come!!

[June 25th 2009.. thurs] OKAYS... So I never finished the post I was writing as I was 'practicing' my guitar.. so yeah I'm back over a week later to finish up! hahaha great now I gotta try and remember everything else thats happened.. well.. i really dont know.. uhmmm.. happy summer solstice.. uh yeah its summertimelime and i love how I woke up to drizzly FOG this morning.. and two days ago I was about to sweat at Muir Woods.. muir freakin redwood forest woods! yes.. crazyness.
So.. knowing how I can never go to bed early.. I stayed up watching some movie about Chateau Montelena in Napa Valley.. with Chris Pine.. and Snape.. hahaha Bottle Shock and it was pretty good... makes me want to hurry up and be 21 finally.. goshhh 20 is taking tooooo long! 45 days is a LONG time!!!!!!!!!! Anyway.. today the lovely foggy day it was went by kinda fast... and yet i'm still here at work on the compy typing this.. I should go homey home now.. and totally plan for tomorrows Campfire Program!!! eeek!! This time I promise I wont talk to arrested campers.. that is all.

P.S. I love you Esp! I horrifically terribly you can feed me to the coyotes or owls and then disect the pellets bad sorry!

Love, MJ

Torta di Cioccolato

Eeeek!! Okays so lots has gone on and I don't even know what to write about hence the lateness of this post.. uhmmm... today I will be packing up my bags for my Road Trip Adventure #2 with Esp which will begin tomorrow.. ?!!!$%#(*^%#@^*^*(@#!!#+$$%?? ? no that was not a bad word. Just that I didn't know how to spell my inner girl squeal hahaha 

So I'm done with school. I loved my Italian class finale haha I hope I did okays on the exam but afterwards we had a little partito dopo l'esame... potluck. So peoples brought delicious treats like chocolate cake [torta di cioccolato] cookies [biscotti] bravo's pizza.. bread and cheese [pane e formaggio] melon wrapped in prosciutto.. which was actually really good. && I made some pasta which I was a little upset about because after the hour drive to school I had the pot wrapped in foil and towels to keep it warm supposedly but it was of course cool by then and the sauce had kinda dried out but ehh I think it was okay and slightly enjoyable haha I've made better.

I'm not sick anymore!! After like almost forever and a half of random pains, horrid headaches,  eye infections.. supposed deadly flu.. and lots of NyQuil DayQuil Hurry-Up-&-HealQuil.. I can hopefully say I am cured. for now. I hope. but anyway now I'm like super paranoid about everything. I cant touch my eyes, I was my hands a lot, I hold my breath to not breathe in germs of peoples around me hahaha, uhhh I carry all my medicines I might possibly need like the Quils, Pepto, Excedrin, Midol, Lactaid, etc. So if you're in need of a little aid I might have the help haha.

Oh I've been playing around with my makeup lately.. sometimes it turns out okay and other times its super hello!! extreme and then there's the ewww I look gross kind and finally the I actually love this look. I got ByLaurenLuke 's My Luscious Greens kit and I love it. My family and peoples have claimed it to be a bit too much but I love wearing it with my uniform haha!

 Its just so bright and vibrant it makes me look happy rather than- omg there's nothing to do I'm so bored and why the hell is it hella foggy- the way I really feel haha. Oh and I have like a buhjillion nail polishes too! Here's a sample of some of my collection with very similar colors haha! 

On Wednesday I had a little flashback day. I hung out with my high school friend Jasmine which I hadn't seen since like October 2007ish.. I spent a few hours with her just catching up and talking about randomness and I even saw a few more peoples who went to my high school.. 

like I always say.. Fairfield is the land where peoples get stuck there doing the same thing over and over. Nothing and no one ever really changes. Well thats my view. Because after high school some people are still doing the same thing its like they're frozen in Toys R Us state where they dont wanna grow up. Well enough on that.. Afterwards I went to my high school for the Music Concert. I saw my old choir muffin, Amanda which I hadn't seen since Graduation!! 

Well gahh! I gotta go and finish getting my stuffs ready!  Be back later laters!! 

I actually forgot to post this before leaving but here it is! Working on the Trip post right now!
