Nobody's ever considered me much of a multi-tasker-- I'm one of those people who's always attempting to read a book while walking down a crowded hallway, only to inevitably fall on her face or crash into someone's backpack. However, I'll have you know that I currently have a tray of cookies in the oven, another sheet loaded and ready to go, and my fiveawesomegirls video exporting. I'm also, like, writing a blog and being a badass. So that's pretty much five things at once.
Surprise! Your comments on yesterday's post made my day, just like always. The general consensus seems to be that none of you understand the appeal of cars (ditto) or makeup (same here), and that most of you who DO understand clothes still don't really bother put any effort into them. It's comforting to know that I'm in good company, then.* I think our collective Style is "Awesome Nerdy Internet Person." And I hear that's in vogue. Anyway, on to the sensing!
Today, I saw: this webcomic, which I found just infinitely funnier than it actually is.
Today, I heard: some drunk guy in the backseat of his friend's SUV get into a fight with a FedEx truck driver during stopped highway traffic. Next, a car full of seventeen-year-olds next to me rolled down their window and informed me that, "Ma'am, I like your ponytail. It is exquisite."
Today, I touched: balls of gooey, lumpy cookie dough.
Today, I smelled: fresh tomatoes from my dad's garden.
Today, I tasted: whole wheat flatbread. Yum!
Lastly, and totally leastly, I have to make a quick retraction... in yesterday's post, I made a joke about pulling weeds, and referred to "the exciting smoking kind," meant to funny, because I am obviously not the toking type. My mother, however, did not find it amusing, and insists that I inform you all that I do not smoke pot. So. I do not smoke pot. Kbye!

Subscribers: 32,300

*Except for you psychos who said you don't enjoy eating. I still love you, of course, and I'm willing to look past this... but it was painful to read, guys. It really was.
Im now in search of a recipe for Chipotle burritos cause of your videos never heard of them before =]
ReplyDeleteToday, I saw: Emma Watson's new hair cut!
ReplyDeleteToday, I heard: John and Hank singing "Stuff on your head" for the second time but still so awesome!
Today, I Touched: warm tomatoes as I picked off the vine.
Today, I tasted: raspberry green tea and raspberry lemonade mix together, it was good, honest! No hating.
Just the other day I was at my aunt's house and I went out to the car to get a book . . . I started reading it as I closed the door and tripped my way up the gravel driveway, the patio steps, through the sliding glass door, and into the house with my nose in it. I put a hand out and felt my way along the countertops and the walls, straight past a bunch of people, and to the couch. They were all staring at me but I pretended not to notice because honestly, the world needs more people reading while walking.
ReplyDeleteThough I think the most epic reading-while-walking I've seen was when Goblet of Fire came out, so I was about nine, I saw a woman in her mid-twenties walking down a crowded street wearing a backpack with GoF right up in front of her. How she avoided the telephone poles I don't know.
Oh and crazy psycho non-eating-enjoying people are sad, but I do understand them. When I was an eating disordered sixteen-year-old, I did not enjoy eating either. Now I'm a face-stuffing nineteen-year-old and about a million times happier. ;) Contrary to what some people think (and what I once thought), eating does not have to be torture, even if it does not involve a single lettuce leaf. Even if it is nothing but chocolate, butter, and sugar. Hee hee.
Today, I saw: Emma Watson's new haircut. And I liked it, surprisingly.
ReplyDeleteToday, I heard: the hustle and bustle of Walmart employees, as I was waiting for one of them to call me back to give me an interview.
Today, I touched: a pee cup. That's right...I had to pee in a cup today. For a drug test. What fun. At least everyone will know that, like you, I do not smoke pot.
Today, I smelled: my deodorant. It smells good.
Today, I tasted: the absolute deliciousness that are Snickers Ice Cream Bars. Oh my gosh...they're chocolate-y, peanut-y, carmel-y, crunchy goodness. Ahaha.
I feel like I've missed one of your things, because I only counted four.
ReplyDeleteToday I saw: My boyfriend.
Today I heard: Your voice on your YouTube video.
Today I touched: Potato Wedges from KFC
Today I tasted: Crackballs. No, they do not have crack in them, we call them that because they are very addicting. They're really oreo truffles.
Today I saw another Degrassi episode.
ReplyDeleteToday I touched a balloon at the party supply store while I was looking for decorations for my sister's baby shower.
Today I tasted delicious Moose Track ice cream.
Today I heard Taylor Swift's new single Mine.
Today I smelled the inside of a dollar store. They always smell the same and it isn't pleasant.
Today I saw: Doctor Who. I've become obsessed. I am almost done with the fourth season after less than two weeks.
ReplyDeleteToday I heard: The washing machine. All day.
Today I touched: My ticket to go to WWOHP (which I'm leaving for tomorrow)!!!! Is it weird that I've been stroking the ticket?
Today I smelled: Horses. Not horse poop. The actual horse. I promise it smells good, but that could be all the memories attached to that particular smell.
Today I tasted: Not much. I had cornflakes for breakfast, skipped lunch, and had cornflake chicken for dinner. So I guess I tasted a lot of cornflakes today. Not that I'm complaining. I love cornflakes. They were also John Lennon's favorite food, not that it means anything.
Today I saw: this adorable dress, then was crushed when I saw that the largest size was a 3.
ReplyDeleteToday I heard: a podcast done by a friend i met at a wrock concert
Today I touched: Straight from the tree figs (so yummy, if you never had fresh fig I suggest you try some)
Today I tasted: Maghluba which is this arabic rice dish that is super yummy
I didn't even think about cars or makeup but I definitely don't get those things either. Also, I think it's adorable that your mom felt it was necessary for you to tell us you don't smoke pot haha.
ReplyDeleteI saw: my awesome Infinitus and WWoHP pictures when they came in the mail. It made me want to go back to Hogwarts :(
I heard: my mom snoring very loudly next to me AT 8PM!
I smelt: yummeh hot pockets
I tasted: snow caps!
I felt: my amazingly soft comforter when I unsuccessfully was trying to remain asleep with my mom yelling for me to get up and talk to my sister who was on the phone.
Today, I saw a plethora of youtube videos!
ReplyDeleteToday, I heard ALL CAPS music coming from my iPod!
Today, I Touched a new 64 pack of crayola crayons (that came in a vintage crayon box with eight collectors colors!) in which I have been coloring in my hello kitty 288 page coloring book the past few days.
Today, I tasted the most gooey grilled cheese I've ever had made by my mom.
and because I didn't comment yesterday I feel the need to make my opinions now!
As for cars, I couldn't care less. Style, I think it's cool but I generally throw on jeans/shorts and a tee shirt, or a sundress because that means I don't have to coordinate anything. However, I think make-up is actually really fun. I'm not so much in it to make me look more appealing, though, more as art. And as a nerdy/art/theatre person, I kind of treat everyday like putting colors on my eyes like art .
But I still love to eat like a pig. Eating is amazing! Just tonight, I'd finished eating dinner, and my mom saw me reaching for some chex mix in our cabinet, and she stopped talking on the phone to ask me "Really? Are you hungry? Or just bored. Don't eat when you're bored!"
Thanks Mom.
Felt: Brand new jeans, they fit perfectly in every way and put me in wonderful mood

Today I touched: My hair, which at te moment is more oily then the oil spill. Ew.
Today I smelled: Nothing. I have a blocked nose. I just sit here making annoying sniffing noises.
Today I tasted: Lemon cordial. Not very remarkable I hear you think (That's right- I hear you think.)But it actually is when you have four younger siblings who pounce on cordial as soon as it comes through the door, not leaving any for their amazingly awesome eldest sister.
Also, with the whole reading/ multitasking- When my grandma was younger she was so obsessed with reading she would walk home from school with one foot in the gutter and one on the path so that she could concentrate on reading and not on where she was going- genius much?
I feel compelled to mention that some people may not love food because of certain issues they may have with eating. I know eating disorders can affect a person's relationship with food for years even after recovery.
ReplyDeleteToday:
- I saw steely gray storm clouds approaching my house,

- I touched crisp new notebooks waiting to be filled,
- I smelled fresh country air after a summer storm, and
- I tasted slightly salted edamame.
Today I went shopping xD I know it's completely superficial, but it made me happy. Maybe because of Rosa-Fiona Bettina's blog -that girl who has inspired me to use my camera again- but I really enjoyed it. And I've always hated shopping. I still prefer going book shopping, though. And I always will!

ReplyDeleteToday I: saw graffiti in a bar, smelled beer in the mugs of everyone around me at said bar because they were all 21 and I am not, tasted kiwi, heard my roommate's loud, carrying voice, and touched water in the swimming pool.
ReplyDeleteSo...Hayley, about that Flatbread...thing. I know that in the past i've enjoyed the fact that someone else out there loved food as much I do, and is as awesome as I am, possibly even more so in both senses, but...i'm not sure if I can overlook this flatbread atrocity.
ReplyDeleteI know...you have no idea what i'm talking about, only a few people in my life are aware...but just a few short last year ago, I was traumatized by Dunkin Donuts Flatbread. It may just be me being bitter, but I can't help but see all Flatbread as obnoxious, evil compressed bread.
Actually, I don't know what any of that has to do with anything; I hope you enjoyed your flatbread. My boyfriend likes it, too. Just be careful.
Today, I saw: Inception! For two dollars at an unbelievably old theatre! So good!
Today, I heard: The loudest, most obnoxious car repeatedly drive down my street revving their engine.

Today I tasted the most succulent, perfect cherries I've ever had. They're really in season right now. Mmm.
Today I feared that my cousin would put a spider on my back when i wasn't looking, as he threatened to do.

I din't think you smoked pot Hayley, and it was kind of funny.

I live for multitasking. I always feel so productive even when I end up not having got anything done because I was trying to do everything at once.
Today I saw: BRAD PAISLEY ON A GUITAR MAGAZINE! He was spread all over the front and looked pretty damn sexy. You probably don't this that amazing, but I live in England, for goodness sake, how many people here have heard of him, apart from me? This was TOTALY why today was awesome.

I keep thinking of things to comment and then being too lazy to comment, but this is so weird and awesome that I must share:
ReplyDeleteLast night (this morning/afternoon, really) I had a dream in which I had an advanced reader's copy of a novel you'd written. The circumstances were incredibly strange, as is often the case with dreams, but the jist was that you'd written this book and it was going to be published, and you were, I guess, trying to keep it a secret for as long as possible.
This had to have had something to do with this thing John Green wrote in a blog recently, in response to a question about whether young writers should "take writing seriously." He said "I think young writers should write as seriously as they want. But I don't really see what is to be gained from publishing when you're a teenager."
So I kept thinking about this, and my conclusion was what is to be gained is that being published would be AWESOME!!!! or at least everyone thinks it would be, and it sucks to want something and believe that you have to work really hard and get really good at it for ten years before you can try to do it professionally.
[I cut out yet more rambling here]
Anyway, all I really wanted to say about this was that in this dream I was super pumped to read this book, and then when I woke up, I had one of those post-dream crap-that-wasn't-real moments, and I thought about how it will be really, really incredible to read a book of yours when you do get published. It will be equally as amazing to throw in the name Hayley Hoover, all casual-like, with the list of my favorite authors. :)
(No rush, though. I kind of agree with John that there's not a ton to be gained from publishing asap.)
First off...I love that your mom wanted you to assure everyone, that's cute.
