=_= Coworkers were giving out nicknames to each other... somehow I got the nickname "Mo".
Sally = Lally
Stephanie = Sleph <- whoever entered her information into the system typoed her name so we kept it HAHA.
Laurelle = Laurelly
Deseeray = RayRay
me = Mo ...... It has nothing to do with my name ... =_=.
I liked Des' but she said hers sound so ghetto hahaha. No it doesn't =_=.

And out of nowhere Steph was like OMFG!! I know an even better one for Laurelle!! "Smelly Laurelly"!! HAHA. Des actually called Laurelle that in front of a customer haha. Laurelle didn't seem too pleased about it.

Steph said my nickname sounded like a beer.... How? Simpson's. Homer goes drink beer at Moe's. I was like WTF...Moe is ugly!! =_=!!!

Anywho, Twitter kinda irks me sometimes. All these stupid, random spam accounts follow you and it shows up on your followers list. And I would have to go through list blocking them. Some loser had to @ me when I mentioned it in my tweet and gave me directions on how to block them. I said I don't like it.. I didn't say "How do I take them off?" I know how! I just wish there's a way to prevent them from following in the first place (aka.. don't let them sign up..) without having to turn my twitter private. It's just awkward when you have BRITNEYF***VIDS following you on twitter =_=!!


More than halfway done the book "Uglies". Quite an interesting book.
"Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can''t wait. Not for her license -- for turning pretty. In Tally''s world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there.

But Tally''s new friend Shay isn''t sure she wants to be pretty. She''d rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world -- and it isn''t very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever."

As I was reading this I actually noticed that the author used some facts in the story too. I learned it in my PSYC 105 class. I thought the discussion idea of beauty was very interesting! Our idea of beauty is actually a very average face. All the facial features people look for are in fact average features, which the book mentions too. There was an experiment where they took pictures of many, many people and stuck all the different pictures together to get the average face. There were a couple of pictures and we would be able to pick who we thought looked the best out of all the male/females. To our surprise, the person we picked wasn't even a real person. In fact, all the pictures (all the pictures were in a line beside each other) as it progressed was just the same guy but with more and more pieces of other people's pictures added on.

If you're up for it you should watch this:

It's actually quite interesting.
I thought it was kinda weird how they said women put on red lipstick because it's supposed to look similar to when they're sexually aroused... I was like what?  LOL.....
And  the "Every wonder why top athletes tend to be good-looking?" ....o_o Do they? I mean a lot of the time I only think their bod does HAHA. And sometimes they're not even that good-looking. If they weren't a top athlete or known I don't think they would really be thought of as attractive as they really are.
