10 Things I hate and why.

1. Homophobes. They are ignorant, narrow-minded, and aggravate me.
2. My internet going down. I think you can tell that one by now. I live on the internet. I start feeling really lost and confused when it is down.
3. The taste of coffee. Not the smell, look, or anything else. Just the taste. I just don't like it.
4. When my cell phone dies. It just all around sucks. I start to go a little crazy when that happens.
5. Not having any music. 'Nuff said.
6. People who slander me for my religious beliefs. Honestly, I never really talk about them, because every time I have in the past, people have tried to convert me when they were the ones inquiring about them. I am not even that religious, in case you wanted to know.
7. Fanta Orange. It is nothing like Orange Crush. They are so very different.
8. When we are out of tortilla chips, shredded cheese, or salsa/hot sauce because then I can not eat nachos. Then it is a sad time.
9. I have a habit of burning myself while cooking. That is why I have the dark spot on my stomach. Earlier, I burned myself while trying to take pizza out of the oven. Burning yourself hurts, in case you didn't know that.
10. The rumor that went around in 6th grade that I was a lesbian. That is not true, and never was. I do believe in gay rights, and everyone deserves an equal right (Sorry, Volde! :D) but I am not a lesbian.

So now you know more about me, in case you wanted to. I really needed to update this, so I did with some stuff about me. So yeah...there ya go!

Names

Your name defines you. You don't realize how much it does, but it really does. When you have an odd last name, like mine, most peoples reactions are either "That weird girl with a weird name," or "Wow, she has an uncommon last name, she must be exotic." Neither are the case, of course (well maybe the first one :D).

Let me tell you, I would love to have a common last name like Smith, Brooks, James, something like that. You might ask Why Alexis? Because usually people don't really judge with a common last name. Someone with the last name B-I am not saying the other letters- gets judged a lot more. Believe me, I am actually the only Alexis B-still not saying the other letters- in the world. For real. All the people with my last name, are related to me. I used to get yelled at up until 6th grade for not writing my full name on a paper. There is only so much room on that paper, and I could be the only Alexis B. that they teach, or in the whole grade. Either way, I would still get yelled at.

It is a running joke with anyone who is friends with me to be able to spell my last name. They try and try for years. Only a few have gotten it, and that is because they have known me for years, and they had to spell it for something. Other one is how to correctly pronounce my last name. I have people I have known for years that still can't do it.


Ok, I am done ranting about my name. Sorry if it seems uncoordinated. I wrote it in my head at 1:00 in the morning while trying to sleep. After all that, I do still like my last name, I promise.

I am a hopeless romantic

I will admit, I am kind of a hopeless romantic (if you couldn't tell by my first post). Camping on the beach, kiss in the rain, stuff like that. You can blame it on my zodiac sign. Apparently, Libras are known hopeless romantics. You can blame it on being a girl. Either way, yeah. I am.

When hanging out with my friends, you would not be able to tell. Whenever people suggested romantic movies, I would suggest a comedy. I never really did much for Valentine's Day, exept sit in the basemet, alone, eating chocolate, and watching a romantic comedy. I actually had never slow danced, exept with friends tackily to make others laugh. All because I didn't want anyone to know how much of a hopeless romantic I actually was.

Yup, I am a hopeless romantic. There is nothing I can do about it, and this hopeless romantic is in love. Wow, Alexis. Did you actually just right that? Yeah, I did. Whatever. There is nothing I can do now. You could like, I don't know. Delete it? Yeah, I can. -sigh-

 Well, this blog post is done. I am going to go swim in the pool, and go daydream.

Zombie Hunting! My first day

Ok so my first day zombie hunting. This thing had been going on the two days before, but I had not gone out to UGA yet. I arrive at the I fields to find Noah, Connor, and a whole bunch of people I didn't know (which I still hardly know since everyone knew everyone else but me, and we didn't have time for long intros). So we crossed the street, to the rail road tracks, and we walked. And walked. And walked some more, until we finally get to the bridge. So, while people decide to ninja up the stairs (you know who you are), I finally decide on a safer route to walk up the stairs. So we walked up some stairs. And some more stairs. And once again some more stairs. We cross the bridge, go down some, yup you guessed it, more stairs,and finally get to the Geology building. We were supposed to meet up with some friends there, which were not there. After listening to one-sided arguements with the people who we were supposed to meet with, we finally decide to venture out to the Tate center. After we get to Tate, things get more interesting.

We make it to Tate and walked up some more stairs. Did I mention there are a lot of stairs on Campus? We make it safely inside of Tate and I wander around for a bit, while pretty much everyone else scatters. I finally find the group hanging outside Tate and we go zombie hunting. I am already walking down the stairs from Tate and we wander, looking for zombies, and our missing teammates. As we are walking up the stairs, I hear the scream of ZOMBIE!!!!! I dashed down the stairs as fast as I could, with Connor at my tail. I am glad I was last, otherwise I would not have lasted as long as I did. Turns out the zombie got two of our team mates. The remaining humans, including myself, head to the downstairs entrance, to avoid the zombie,and make it safely inside. We cross the building to make it to the front plaza, hoping to kill some zombies, which sadly was not the case. Afterwards, we head inside the Cafe to get some Chick-fil-a. We meet up with three other guys, which join our team. After everyone was done eating, we leave to hopefully run into some zombies. We head off to the satellite building to get some zombies, while Matthew (I know, I actually remembered his name out of all of them) ambushed Noah and fed off of his brains. 5 minutes later, Mr. Noah tries to ambush us, while I use my ninja nerf power and stop him before he could get to anyone. Afterwards, a zombie taunts us from the top floor, and Connor and someone else ( I know, I didn't catch his name) headed up to investigate. I stick around the bottom to make sure no zombies go up the ambush them. Finally, they return and we head on our merry way.

We head down the little street on the side of the satellite building where a giant group of zombies taunt us, most likely out of pure boredom, or so I thought. For a few minutes, I keep on repeating "I suggest running for our lives". Finally, after I calm down, a ninja zombie comes at me from behind and turns me into a zombie. I don't feel too bad since the ninja zombie got two other people on our team. The three new zombies cross the street to the large zombie group, and we stick with them. I make friends with a college girl on the team, and we head up to the satellite building. Carol Lin and I spot a human and stalk him all throughout the building, also checking for the exits.  We meet up with the rest of the team on the roof and wait for humans, and for the others to respon. Finally after some waiting, we spot a pair, which was heavily armed, waiting in the doorway. One of the guys on the team went as distraction while the college girl stuck up to get the first. After much debating about the rules, everything is settled. We spot the remainder of our original group, along with another heavily armed group on the roof with us. Our original group catch wise and head back down, and we taunt the second group. After that group leaves, we decide to ambush our first group. A first few go ahead down the tunnel and take out the first guy. After ward, we distract the remainder, including Connor, when one of our teammates uses ninja powers, sneaks up behind them, and gets them. Finally, we head back up to the roof, when Connor announces his departure.

Afterwards, we all head up to the Student Learning Center, which isn't that far and head inside. We all smell a big battle brewing. 8 zombies vs. 4 humans. Both sides increase in number. Finally after waiting inside for ten minutes or so, I get bored and call my mom. Much debating on where to go, and were exactly I am outside the SLC, I finally get it straitened out. Yes, one human got me, but I was on the phone with my mom. What was I supposed to do? My mom arrives and pulls into a small parking lot across from Millage Hall. I stroll leisurely to her car, until I hear the voices of the heavily armed group again. I quickly dash into the car, almost missing my seat and landing in my mom's lap, and throw my bookbag into the backseat. I settle myself, answer some of my mom's questions such as "What the heck was that about?" and we drive off.

That concludes of my first day of zombie hunting. I don't know if I will be going again, but it was some of the most fun I have had in a long time.
