"Put your hand in this..."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA omg Martha Stewart is SO weird!  Her Halloween specials are always on point.  I watch her every night (yeah, I DVR her, don’t hate) but this thing she did with Jimmy Fallon was freaking hilarious, I can’t get over it.

Basically, she had a buffet of Halloween foods that were normal, but just looked like they were gross and creepy.  i.e. chicken wings covered in hoisen sauce she called bat wings, bacon she dubbed “cured epidermis”, a bowl of green punch with tapioca pearls she called eye of newts, you get the idea.  She had him eat each one, and he was having a lot of fun.

Then she had him stick his hand in bowls of things without looking at them.  Keep in mind they’d been playing with stuff for a good 10 minutes already, so he’s already comfortable with her.  She first stuck his hand in a bowl of grapes, which felt like eyeballs.  He laughed.

But THEN, she told him to stick his hand in a bowl filled with live meal worms.  He couldn’t figure out what they were, or why the audience was so grossed out.  When she finally told him, he jumped up soooo fast, and was yelling, “WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??!! HAHAHA!”  It literally made my night.  I hope I can find a clip of that somewhere on YouTube.

Today was a blast, I’ll do a photo post tomorrow.  This was the last highschool Halloween for me =/ so there was no way I was going to be a Debbie Downer and not wear a costume.  I don’t care that it wasn’t really Halloween.

Thien got me a FAT burrito from that place behind Logan for lunch.  And I mean fat.  So I ate it in like 20 minutes, and now I feel fatTER.  And I mean FAT.  I don’t think I should eat for a month after that big boy.  Tomorrow should be fun though!

Best friend! Let’s go to Brown & be friends with Emma Watson.
She can be included in all our inside jokes.

Oh hell yeah, she can teach us how to levitate stuff and get to all of our classes when they’re at the same time!  And she can laugh at the silly things I do with you, only all BRITISH.

So I bought a planner the other day.  I thought, cool, I’m finally going to get my life organized.  I then started to write every deadline or important date I could think of in the planner, as well as all the things I needed to remember to do throughout the day. However, one thing about a planner is that, in order for it to work, you need to actually look at what you wrote.  If you don’t, it’s completely useless.  Therefore, my planner has been useless.  I think I’ve written “Talk to Mr. O” on 5 consecutive days in one week because I keep forgetting to look at my planner that SHOULD remind me about it.  Now, here I am, not having taken a test that was supposed to be taken about 3 weeks ago, and with a different teacher so I can’t even take it during class.  My “To-Do” list should just be changed to “Stuff I Supposed to Have Done Yesterday.”  I need to train myself to constantly look at it, but it’s harder than it would seem.  Maybe by the time I get to college I’ll be a planner-pro.  That is, if I get into college.

On a that note, I’m f#king tired of hearing how people got accepted into all these UC’s already.  Yeah, I got that ELC thing during the summer too, but no colleges got back to me saying anything.  So STFU smartasses!  You’re just making the rest of us feel inadequate with your stupid facebook statuses.  I hope you’re happy with yourselves.

I need to stop crying over:

He wasn't signing autographs =[ Or marrying people =[[[

So my heart felt like it REALLY stopped today.  Imagine what I felt like at the John legend concert.  Multiply that by ten.  That is the feeling I got when Tiger Woods, THE Tiger Woods, walked in front of me today.  I couldn’t feel my toes!  Well, that could’ve been because it was f#cking cold as all hell, but still! However, this picture is at a different time during the day.  When he was standing directly in front of me, there was no way that my brain was going to be able to function in time to tell my hands to take a picture.  My dad was laughing at my face when we were watching him play because “I looked funny.”  Well, there’s very few people on this earth I would marry on the spot, no questions asked.

image

I wish I could’ve seen him play more, but the crowd following him was ridiculous.  The closest my dad and I would get to him was when we would wait at the green a couple of holes ahead of where he was.  Other than that, if we had just followed him alone, (like I originally wanted to) we would’ve been completely lost in the crowd, unable to see over the heads of tall golf fans that push their way to the front.  So the smartest thing to do was to claim a spot by the ropes at a green that he would get to in about 45 minutes and wait for him and his crowd.  Next time we’ll know.

image

I also got to see some of my other favorite golfers, like Phil Mickelson, (above) Ernie Els, and Vijay Singh.  It was incredible to see all these golfers who I’ve been watching on TV my whole life, (the Golf Channel is constantly on in my house) and to see that they really are just THAT good.  Ryo Ishikawa was straight killing it too, it’s hard to believe he’s my age.  The only disappointment was that I didn’t get to see Camilo Villegas because he teed off before we got there.

image

I took a lot of pictures today (Lucas Glover, above).  Very sneakily too, if I might add.  There is actually a VERY strict rule prohibiting cameras or mobile phones at all golf tournaments.  However, I managed to sneak my phone in and snap about 30-40 pictures during the match.  Provided, the resolution on them are not that great, and they’re pretty far away, (with My Baby’s zoom, you would’ve been able to see the Tiger’s pores) I still feel quite accomplished that I have these.  This way, someday I can look at these and remember the day I met my husband <33.  One guy behind me scared the bejeezus out of me, though, when he tapped me on the shoulder.  I thought he was an official, (who would’ve confiscated my phone and dismissed me from the play grounds) but it turns out he was just a guy who wanted me to send him some pictures.  He gave me his card and $5.

image

Well, I could go on and on about this day, but I think this amount of text is already too overwhelming for most people to read.  So if you made it to the bottom of this post, congratulations!  And thanks for bearing with me =]

P.S.  Michael Jordan passed right by me too!  He looked quite random out there though, I must say.  Regardless, it was still cool!

*sigh. SAT 2's =[

So…looks like I’m taking it again in a month.  Man, and I was SO excited to finally be done with all this standardized testing.  I just hope that I don’t bomb the November test as well.  I haven’t really started college apps yet, and I already hate it.  There’s about 50 different websites you have to go to, and each site will direct you to another BEFORE you can continue on the one that you’re already at.  And financial aid?  Don’t even get me STARTED with how much of a pain that has been.

At least the President’s Cup final round is tomorrow.  I simply can’t wait to stand behind Tiger and be one of those obnoxious fans that yell “GET IN THE HOLEEEEEEEEE!” right after he hits. Oh yeah, and I’m not even ashamed.

Swashbuckling

So, I think I was meant to be a pirate.  Seriously, pirates have always interested me (along with film noir detectives, but that’s another story) and lately, my fascination has reached brand new heights.  I won’t go into detail.  Even my favorite character on the old Paul Frank cartoons was Scurvy!

image

ANYwho, I think I’ll try and save at least SOME face, and stop trying to explain myself.  But there you go.  A fact about Alexa that veryyy few people know, and here it is.  On the internet.  A pirate’s life for me…=]

Sorry best friend...

I’m going to Harding Park on Sunday with my dad.  But, just for the record, I’ve been excited about this for MONTHS.  I’m finally going to meet my husband Tiger and I’ll convince him to divorce his stupid Swedish wife and my parents will play golf with him every Tuesday.

I would’ve texted you my plan, but, alas…

PATRICIA!!!!!!!!!  My phone’s in your car!!!!!  =[

I was going to ask you if you were going! I think it’s pretty cool, aside from being forced to park at the very bottom of the school parking garage. It’s understandable. You are quite lucky, best friend!
Make sure you include me in the wedding arrangements once you sort them out with Tiger…I miss you!

AHAHA well if people would be smarter and do what my dad and I are doing, they wouldn’t put you in such a situation.  I’m taking the shuttle from bart.  Trust, I would NOT let the frustration of not finding parking get in the way of me and my love!  <333

I miss you too!
