IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Today is my birthday!!! I made it to 19! Lol. I'm excited for two things: 1.)My kick butt Dr. Seuss Shoes are on their way here as I type. I'm so excited. I'm hoping that if I can wear shoes to work today, I'm going to wear those. And second...I have to work today! I'm actually really excited about that. Most people don't really like or mind working on their birthday but I am perfectly content with it. I have tomorrow off though =) If I didn't work today I would probably just spend my time packing for school and on Facebook saying thanks to a bazillion people for the birthday wishes.

Here's a keynote. I learned this morning that having your phone connected to your Facebook can destroy your morning. My phone is set to receive notices from Facebook when people do pretty much anything such as writing Happy Birthday on your wall. I turned my phone on and woke up to about 32 messages from a combination of Facebook and friends saying Happy Birthday. It's great and everything but it takes awhile for them to all load up. Anywho...Happy 19 years to me! Should be a great day!

DR. SEUSS SHOES!!!

One day I was using Stumbleupon for the 23 things and I stumbled upon the converse website! The awesome thing about this is they have a new series by Chuck Taylor All Stars. It's the Dr. Seuss Shoes series and they are totally sweet. I cannot possibly show all of my excitement through this post alone. THESE ARE ALL THE AWESOME DR. SEUSS SHOES!
I ended up going home and buying a pair. I really wanted the red and white striped ones because that is the classic Seuss pattern but they didn't have my size in women's and I so didn't trust the whole conversion from women's to men's sizes so I bought this pair...

SOCIAL BOOKMARKING!!!

THIS IS SO FRICKING SWEET! I was looking over the next 23 things step on social bookmarking and I was thinking to myself why do we have to do this? Then I kept reading more and Stumbleupon was on the list of sites for the Exercise section. I've always wanted to check out that sight so I was super excited about it cause I know alot of people that are absorbed by that sight as much as they are Facebook. I was checking my interests and all that jazz which is really easy. Then I went and started looking through different pages and one came up that I think is so funny. It's the world's 18 strangest bathrooms! Some of them are so cool but others are just so weird and pointless.

Technorati is a cool website if you're big into blogging. It's cool that it tracks the popularity of the blogs by linking and other factors. If you blog alot and like to look through different blogs, it comes in handy when you want to find the most popular blogs. It searches through all the blogs too so you can look at certain blogs that pertain to your search. If you want something specific or are just bored and want to look at the popular ones, then Technorati is a good site for you.

LinkedIn

I have a LinkedIn account. I went to get one and it said I already had one so I guess that worked out well. Lol. I filled out the profile and everything. It was super easy. Just as easy as filling out things for other sites. I have a few connections I think but I don't go on everyday and check it. I only go on when I remember that I have it.

Le Tour De France!

Now that the Tour is officially over...it is time to really talk about it. I'm super mad about Alberto Contador winning. Andy Schleck had such a good chance. If only his chain hadn't broken on one of the last few stages, then he could've won. That's just my own view though.

On to the more pressing matter! The issue during the final stage of the race with Team Radioshack and their unregistered jerseys. I don't know if anyone watched the last stage but at the beginning it was ruled that the black jerseys of Team Radioshack were unregistered and if they were worn during that stage, Radioshack could be disqualified therefore losing their lead in the team standings. The jerseys were black with the number 28 on the back representing the 28 million people who lived with cancer throughout the world.

Let's Tweet!

So far I've been way ahead of this whole thing. I got a Twitter account a long time ago when it was actually something big. Now it's not really anything cool anymore. When I first started using it, it was kinda interesting. I don't really remember if it was easy to get or not. It can be connected with your cell phone so when a certain person tweets, it can be sent straight to your phone and you don't have to go on Twitter and look at what everyone says. It's not really cool anymore but I guess it's cool that NOPL is starting to catch up a little. =/

World Cup/Tour de France!

Spain won the World Cup! Can I get a woop woop? The game was amazing, despite the brutal attack to the chest of one of the Spain players delivered by the Netherlands team. Yellow cards were given and waved aside as the game continued. It was by far an exciting game but not as exciting as some of the other games such as the game between Brazil and Chile. After that game, I was so rooting for Brazil to win this thing again but maybe next year. Overall, a good World Cup. Now on to the Tour de France! Armstrong is done...GO ANDY SCHLECK!!!
