Good day

Sometimes Monday morning feels like a giant cockroach in your face.

AND sometimes..

Your best friend is trying to hide to have a break down

and you have to hunt down which bathroom stall she is hiding
in and quietly creep in 007 style on the floor. It's called a military crawl,
I invented it. Then sometimes she gets scared cause she only sees your hair
and you starring at her on the toilet. Then you both start crying because
you're laughing so hard because you're stuck on the bathroom floor,
with Spanish book in hand, in between two stalls because
your backpack is too thick. Then people start coming
in the bathroom and you're

laying

on

the

floor..

This friend of mine -she has a history of peeing her pants when
I make her laugh-so then she had to rip her pants off to make good use
 of the toilet she was sitting on. Based off these typical daily experiences,
it's safe to say we will probably both have dates for Valentine's Day.
Oh what?! Guys aren't into that?? Oops.

AHHEMM! Testing.. 1,2,3

If you have been wondering where I've been.. I've just been out living my life, where the freak have you been??
 If you have been wondering if I was kidnapped and/or killed, I guess it's a matter of opinion;
Either way, thanks for checking up on me! I'll quickly update you on some highlights of my life as Nellie Rajabi..
who am I kidding, my nickname is Chatty Catchy and the most used phrase my friends say to me is 'cool story'. Anywho,

Mother Theresa AKA me..
NOTTTT (I wish)

Solved world hunger. -CHECK.

Conquered world peace. -DONE.

Got my Bieber feaver on. -DUH.

Okay, in reality I'm not all that cool, but I was with the Bieber beaver on Waikiki after his Honolulu concert phenomena. Every 16 year old girl would've been jealous of me.
Just for that, I am so accomplished.

Here are some real highlights of times passed.
Let's see, where did we part? Oh yes, Rex, that little maggot of a faggot dinosaur. 
He finally got fixed by Ske and his amazing landlord Buddy's son as a surprise to me. We were getting along great until he attempted to kill me again!
Strike 3 rex, YOU'RE OUT!
So I put the buttmunch to sleep.. FOR GOOD. Haaa made you look! I'm not that mellowdramatic, I just popped his tire and grounded him. No pun intended. 

Finals Week

Mother nature decided to show up uninvited to my one way ticket to finals week Hell. It's funny how you put 'party' at the end of a really crappy job to make it sound fun and you almost convice yourself. 
Example: study party, cleaning party, packing party. Umm excuse me, since when did packing make the 2010 most treasured activities list?

Home sweet home

Newport Beach Temple

Didn't really feel like leaving the Laie nest for some reason, but once I got to Orange county it was hard to get in the mood for coming back though. Ohhh "The OC".. you wonder is it anything like the show? Normally I would lie and say no in hopes of preserving any kind of decent reputation we have left, but I'm gonna let you in on a little secret that is not really a secret at all.. It's exactly like the show.
The real OC is the real OG, yaaa heard?? 
It's as addicting as that candy bar you can't put down while updating your facebook status. When I first moved to Laie I was like woahhh everyone looks like they dress out of a thrift store and not even the good vintage kind.. then I got used to the garbage bag type of lifestyle and even almost conformed.. Until I went back home for a reality check.
The first day back I was people watching at my shop in Laguna and I was so confused/intimidated/captivated by how nice everyone looked. At first I was like woahhhh why does everyone look like they just came from a Vogue photoshoot? then a couple days later my question turned more into.. where can I buy those boots? Ha. Orange County sucks you in like a black hole and changes you fast if you let it. BEWARE. Other than that, being with everyone was great.

I missed..

my friends.

Steen and Trav.
Now all we need is Evan!!!

Back to Paradise:

 so we meet again.

Upsides of this semester?

 Great house (The A-Frame), 

amazing view, even more amazing roomies.

Kait and I are finally in the same place together 

and it happens to be in 

paradise.

Downsides?

18 credits of work on top of waking up every morning 

at 5 AM to do Insanity! Wooo gotta love it.

Until next time,

xx.

T-Rex is out of control

Things have changed between the two of us, like we're growing apart.. or more like HE'S changed! I vowed for better or worse, even with his rusted chains, age spots, the noises he makes when you ride him (shut up) sounds like popcorn on drugs, and his tires leaking air better than it does anything else. Even with all that I manage to love him, but it's like he's been trying to kill me lately.. Remember that one time that you almost threw me on the highway? Oh and that one time I was biking up the point and your chain popped off and tossed me onto the ground with the rest of the bugs? Me and you <3 forever Big T. Oh yeahh and remember how today when I let Tia barrow you she came back with a massive battle scar on her leg from you tossing her off? Good times.

Matters of Life

"Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I-- I took the one less traveled by"- Frost.

You know when it's really late at night, you have your head phones in and your brain just starts churning? Yeah, that's where I am right now. Currently my roommate is passed out and our bed light lamp is not working, so in respect of her I decided I would write my thoughts here instead of on paper today so forgive my babbles, for I don't think this one will be all too humorous.
So we all have our fears right? I'm really scared of bugs and there's a lot of those creepy crawlies here in Hawaii, which is just perfect. I love snuggling up with nice cockroach every once in a while. Why not right, they're not that different from most guys ha. Anyways, I've realized that one of my fears is being single forever ha. As silly as that sounds I've noticed that I'm not paving my life around a road leading to marriage and I am fully aware of it because, to be honest, that's not at the top of my priority list right now.

I want to explore. I want to learn. I want to say I LIVED. 

To some this concept may be all too foreign, but hey, to each his own. So I got a call from INVISIBLE CHILDREN today and got my second interview today! Oh man, I'm still weirded out that they like me, or that anyone could like me enough to want a second interview with me in that case. I don't think I would even want a second interview with me ha. It's a little scary at the same time. There were well over a 1,000 or a couple thousand people that applied and they're only looking to take on 50 so I never thought I would get this far. It's still somewhat of a fairytale in my head. I'm torn. I love Hawaii. I'm finally finding people that I really enjoy being with and one of my best friends will be back out here next semester and we haven't been together in what seems like lifetimes for us. At the same time I could never pass this amazing opportunity by if they wanted me on their team. Where's Robert Frost when you need him, eh? So here's my brilliant plan, you can let me know if you think of something better.

1. Invisible Children roadie internship

2. Krochet Kid's summer internship

3. Back to Hawaii OR Spain study abroad. [I DO need to learn Spanish]

4. Back to Iran for a quick minute.. HEY maybe my Turkish will start coming back to me? 

5. Live in New York/San Fran and explore.

See that list? That's why I have a fear of being alone. It's only growing longer by the day, but that's what I get for being a 'jelly bean' as they call me [never sticking to the same location for too long]. I feel like this is the perfect time in life to live the jelly bean syndrom though. Stability is overrated. ///////// OK since I fell asleep and pushed by laptop off my bed onto hard wood floor I think it's time to submit this puppy in and put a snooze on this conversation.

XON.

Beware, Nmonster on the loose.

Nellie here, you're one and only source into the scandalous lives of Laie. It seems that Battle of the Nmonster continues. Will it be water wars or water works in unit B? Time will only tell.

IN OTHER WORDS..

I am an idiot. I relearned a really important lesson today. Life is NOT Gossip Girl.. or at least it shouldn't be. Don't say or do things in the heat of the moment. There is no winner when you're hurting others to prove your point. It's hurtful to gossip about others no matter the situation. Maybe I deserved it though. Not everyone will like us, not everyone will believe our words, not everyone will treat us fairly or care about our feelings. Nonetheless, it's on us to be the bigger person and walk away. I need to rely more on The Lord to lead me towards good spiritual thoughts and growth, rather than my carnal mind that will always lead me astray. 2Nephi 9:29-40 is a great example of relying on Heavenly Father to help us become more Christ like. I wish to live my life  so those who don't know him but know me will want to know him.

Why isn't it weekend all dayy errday??

 4AM wake-up call on Saturday morning + with a side of 30 minutes of sleep.. and totally worth it. A group of probably 45 of us headed down to Electric Beach to swim with our dolphin friends.  I couldn't have been happier to be there after being smushed into a 'Nilo sandwhich' in the backseat with The Hulk and his steroid injecting arch rival. It was a beautiful morning with the sun rising, an amazing beach, and a random.. graveyard? 

Oh cool.. so did they bring me here to swim with dolphins or dead people? To top it off some smart cookie had the inclination to tell me 8 people had been eaten by dolphins on this sight-- yeahhhh uhh.. what?? PS I'm gonna feed YOU to them MS.TMI :)

Crush: Saw the whole thing, dude. First you were all like "whoa", and we were like "whoa", and you were like "whoa..." 

Our Shamu swim quickly turned into a snorkling adventure at the hot tub zone. Let me tell you a little secret.. HOT TUB + OCEAN= Heaven. Next stop: North Shore surf comp and thanks to Devin we got some sick pictures of the day.

Back from our perfect beach day right in time for the rain to start and catch a quick little nappy nap. Ok yeah, I'm perfectly okay with that.

good night world.
