Pretty is as pretty does

read this blog its funny.

Things pretty people shouldn't do. I know, I know, we all complain that we are not pretty...blah blah. I'm not gonna be the one to say I'm ugly...hey I grew up in a two parent household where I was told I was pretty everyday. Plus..my parents both had nice faces...so although they are (were) both midgets that have to watch their weight...I came out with a decent looking face by which I mean I do not have any abnormally large ears, nose, or crooked eyes to complain about. Also...I got some crazy colored eyes. Basically I'm the type of girl you can bring home to mom...right? BUT by no means am I the type of girl that can roll out of bed (by friends (and "friends") know this by my morning bedhead) and strut to the store lookin like I own the place....but I think its fair to say that there are many "pretty people" out there that can.

First....Pretty people should not complain about getting hit on because the truth of the matter is it happens to everyone in some way, shape, or form. Usually, for me , it tends to be in the form of short Mexican's or 16 year old boys (probably because they think I'm 16) but hey whose counting?

Second, don't say you hate how you look in a picture because if you actually hated how you looked it definitely would not be on the internet. Definitely true...I untag the shit out of pictures that I think I look fat in or if my face looks weird.

They then go on to talk about how pretty people complain that they only get jobs because they are pretty or their friends are only friends with them because of how they look. Riiiight.

Anyways, it seems sometimes as if life would be easier if we were all that "pretty person" who could just walk into a room and turn heads...but I'd rather keep my awkwardness, sarcasm and quick wit. I'm sure someday some poor sorry man will appreciate it :)

Me awkward? UH YES

This is my life story. I live an awkward live with periods or fleeting moments where things appear normal...and then reality hits and its not normal anymore. I am awkward in the morning, in the afternoon, and even before I go to bed at night (even if I am sleeping alone). I'm awkward during meetings at work (and I have to run them), on the treadmill at the gym, or even at a bar when I'm slightly intoxicated. Now, I think it is fair to say that there are times I am good at hiding this awkwardness (say at work at times...although my coworkers (and clients) would agree to the fact that there is nothing normal about me) but for the most part my awkwardness shines bright. This was the cause of bright red faces when teachers called on me at school or the dreaded part where you had to blow out those damn birthday candles on the cake. God forbid dating....I remember my first awkward kiss in the back of a minivan (we're not counting my kindergarden kiss at the Halloween party) or the first time I got a dozen roses (I was 15 years old..it was at school in the hallway for our MONTH ANNIVERSARY. Needless to say I shoved them in my locker and went about my day. Now thats not to say with age I haven't gotten better with accepting gifts from boyfriends (you better believe I graciously snagged that Tiffany's necklace my EX gave me for Christmas one year) but that does not mean I'm still overly weird about it. Compliments....I do not know what to do with them. You look pretty...thanks? I tend to change the subject..ignore them..look out the window...find a bug to kill..anything to get off of the subject of ME. Which is interesting because I love to talk maybe even sometimes about myself...also I am a Gemini, thus we are outgoing (true), crazy (also true), selfish (possibly?), but I dont like others talking about me to me..thats just weird! I'm also an only child (I know, I know...omg you must be such a spoiled brat?!). Unfortunately...but fortunately I grew up with two wonderful (but slightly annoying) cousins that lived next door to me. Everything they got (or didn't get) I got (or didn't get). So living life as a 24 year old awkward girl is slightly difficult. Thank goodness I have had my friends forever because new friends would think I'm a nut job (true story...right friends?). Dating is pretty much out of the question for me...dinner with someone I do not know?? Are you crazy? I mean they will definitely try to kill me and chop me up into little pieces and shove me into their freezer..Jeffrey Dahmer style. So I go about my life in my Awkward Angie way. I'm glad I have friends to take crazy trips to places such as NYC with me to navigate through my awkwardness!

Did you know you get paid to be a witness?

So I received a check in the mail from the Wauwatosa Police Department for a whopping $7...this was for testifying as a witness for them. I thought if you were supeanoed as a witness you just had to go. Well, now I'm $7 richer! Wahoo.

Life is just so odd at the age of 24. I never thought my life would be how it is..say four years ago. Four years ago I would have said I would still be with my ex boyfriend living with him in Milwaukee, working in public relations, and hanging out with my mom in my free time. Psh...fast forward four years....

I am a boyfriendless, momless, social worker, Milwaukeean who lives with two cats. It's like fours company...with two cats. EW

Last night I went out to Lakefront Brewery tour with my dad and his new girlfriend and my cousin. It was pretty fun. Their fish fry is actually really good. And of course you get pretty drunk on that tour. So that is a positive. And then I became an old lady and went to bed at 10:30 PM when I got home..haha.

I got a temporary crown put on after having a root canal..the dentist told me not to chew gum or eat candy. So what did I do? Went to work and ate candy and chewed some gum. What do you think happened? My tooth fell out in my gum! I had to get an emergency appointment and get it back in. Can you say that of course this would happen to me?

I go to New York with some of my best girlfriends in a couple of weeks...too bad I don't have more money to blow! haha. It's a much needed trip to get away with some girls though.
