ladders, giggles, and good movies

Oh hey how's it goin? =D So I've got a pretty funny story...
I was at work (Radio Shack) tonight and there were BUNCHES of tags to put out for the new sale that starts tomorrow, as well as some posters that had to hang from the ceiling. After Chris had hung the posters up, some customers came in and as he was assisting them I figured I'd take the ladder back into the back.
Well, I got to the door to the back room and as I was going through the door, I felt something brush up against my leg (the vacuum, that little devil) so I looked to see what it was...but I kept walking forward as I did this...and there was a wall there. Haha I totally plowed into the wall and ran into the ladder at the same time! It was so stinkin' funny!
I was laughing so hard at myself - it took me a good minute and a half or so just to stop laughing. I kept trying to go out in the front of the store, but there were still customers and I wasn't sure if anyone had heard me scream or bang into the wall and when I thought of their reactions if they had heard, it got me laughing again! *sigh* It was great =D

I got to see Get Smart (one of the greatest movies!) for the third time tonight with Chris (one of the greatest people!). That movie is so funny! And I finally got the part about Hymie, the robot guy that the awesome nerdy guys built. It was great!

And now I sit here with my momma watching A Bug's Life - another great movie. I felt really bad because I came in so quietly when I got home from the movie, only to wake her up not even 2 minutes later because there was a crazy jumping spider rampaging through the living room!
After she caught the sneaky little guy she said she was too awake from laughing at me and going on a spider hunt to sleep, so we put in a Disney movie! Yay =)

Doode! My mom totally just made up a new joke (as we're watching A Bug's Life at 12:30 in the morning =D):
What insect seeks spiritual guidance?
A praying mantis!!!
LOL I love my mommy soooo much!
I'm pretty sure that joke may have already been made up, but it's late - or early, depending on how you look at it - so it is hilarious to us! Gotta love giggle fits =D

"No, Fred! Don't look at the light!"
"I can't help it...it's so beautiful..."
ZAP
"AAGGGHHHHAHAGHAGHAH!!!"

Haha um...I'm pretty loopy at the moment so I think this is where I say goodnight to those reading this and go laugh some more with my mommy =)
Night night! Sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite!...but let 'em nibble cuz it tickles =P

me and mine erica and the mac

So...erica and I got new laptops for school!
I got an HP and she got a Mac. I love mine and am oh so excited to have a laptop, but hers is pretty freakin' sweet too.
It's got a built in web cam (this little itty bitty square right above the screen...it's tiny!) and we were having some fun today while we were on break in our computer class =D
She pretty much just turned on the web cam and said "ok, go. do something funny." haha
So I did what I do best...random stuff!

EXHIBIT A:


hehe =P we're silly
I totally didn't realize it would pick up sound until after we recorded our movie...if I had known, I would have said more! That's ok, we're gonna make another one here in a few minutes =)
So we took a bunch of pictures too that are so incredibly silly!
We were gonna take more than we did, but we were gonna be late for our movie so we didn't have time to =( but no worries! We'll take more soon I'm sure
Here are some that we did take:

we made a comic! (kind of)

=O she yoinked my hair!

so i popped her one right in the jaw! take that!
p.s. don't worry, it's just a comic. no ericas were harmed in the making =)

three toed sloths...we're a dying breed =)

So there's a glimpse into the amazingly twisted minds of erica and marie =) we have fun
haha we took A BUNCH more pictures, but they're pretty crazy+my page would get cluttered speedy fast if I put em all on here...so I spared you, dear reader =)

So, this is my first blog EVER...exciting, I know =)

Now, before I start my story here, you must know one thing about me (you can know more things, but in order for you to understand the point of this story (and I promise there is one =P) then you need to know this): I love to talk! I love to tell my stories about everything and anything and make people laugh...or cry...or both. But in a good way =) Although usually I tend to forget the point to my story and I start rambling, for which I feel bad, but my friends love me anyways right? It's just me =)

So here's my story:

I go to Stevens-Henager college and am working towards my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. One of my bestest buds, Erica, goes there with me. Yay! We keep each other sane...or I guess insane would be a more appropriate term (if you were to ask the people around us) haha.

So we're sitting in our PSY101 class the other day, and the teacher starts talking about color personality tests. It's kind of like the Myers-Briggs personality tests (if you've ever taken one), but with colors...obviously.

Now, when he started talking, I got all excited because I remembered taking a color personality test in high school last year. I leaned over to Erica and told her that I didn't remember much from it, but I remember I was mostly a "yellow"...

He talked about how "reds" are usually more aggressive (or assertive/outspoken, etc.), "whites" are usually more passive (they just kinda go with the flow and keep the peace), and "blues" are more melancholy or touchy-feely.

And then he got to "yellows"...

Erica and I were sitting there, doodling, totally minding our own business when he goes off about yellows, saying that they are the life of the party, always smiling...and "telling pointless stories that go on and on" =D THAT'S ME!

Erica and I were laughing so-o hard because the way the teacher was describing "yellows" was right on about how I am - especially about the story part (those of you who know me well know only too well of this special...gift of story telling that I have lol)

I guess this was one of those things where you had to be there to really get the full affect of the story and appreciate it's funniness, but I thought I'd tell that story anyways so that you could kind of get why I'm calling my blogging site "marie's stories" (see, there is method to my madness =P)
Most of my stories are just the ramblings of a crazy marie, but that's how it goes and I love me =D and so do my friends and family...i hope! haha

So that's my first blog (I hope it's ok!)
Erica and I took (and are taking more) awesome pictures and videos today, so I'll probably have those on here soon as well. They're so stinkin' amazing!
Thanks for reading!
