What does it take to be #1?

Yet another eventful day in the life of Amanda loving Blair. I woke up for french (i am getting good at this) and took my composition test. We have 3 this semester and they are just 150-200 words typed in a computer lab. Our first one, today, was supposed to be a conversation through a computer messenging sytem between yourself and a french college student who you have never met. Pretty interesting, I know. So, I was sitting next to brian, typing away, and he goes "I know of people who type that fast in english, but you would have thought it would slow down in another language..." to which my response was "it did..." lol as Jonathan would call me, I am a typing animal! :)

After french I came home, went to shipleys, went to econ, and came home again. After econ my OC kicked in as I entered into what I felt was a pig sty. I cleaned the living room a bit...organized the magazines, organized the remote controls, wiped down the coffee table, cleaned the breakfast bar...very important things. Then the cleaning moved to my room where I wiped the sides of my monitor, sanitized my desk top and dresser top, and swept my bathroom. After that I studied some accounting and then watched some TV. When Alexis got home she begged me to go to Gap and I told her I would, but I didnt have much energy and I might need a cookie once we get there...she agreed. :) She wanted to buy Michael a birthday present and wanted to use me for my discount. Well, ya see, I am allowed to buy things for other people but, unless it is someone you are dating, it has to be a gift and can not be paid back. So, as one would expect, we went in with the intention of the gift looking like it was from me. Well, it is kind of hard to make someone believe that a poor college student always complaining about needing hours has $70 to spend on "just a friend" so my manager was teasing me. Here is how the conversation went between brooke (my manager), alexis, and me...keep in mind alexis is dating michael...

Brooke: so, who is all this for?
Amanda: Oh, it is my friends birthday.
Brooke: Friend?? Does this friend have a girlfriend?
Amanda: Yes, he does. We are just good friends.
Brooke: This is kind of a big present for just a friend. When I buy friends gifts I get them a card and something goofy.
Amanda: He is like, my best friend.
Brooke: So, do you kind of like him?
Amanda: No.
Brooke: Not even a little?
Alexis: (chiming in) I think he likes her a little.
Brooke: Do you like his girlfriend?
Amanda: Yeah, they havent been dating long.
Brooke: (turning to alexis) are you his girlfriend?
Alexis: psh...no.
Brooke: So, how long have you known him?
Amanda: (trying to think of my longest current friendship with a guy) 6 years.
Brooke: So, why dont you go up to Michael next time you see him and say 'If I am not married by the time I turn 25 I think we should get married."
Amanda: Um...ok...

And it went on...and on and on...Thanks alexis for helping build my manager's curiosity so as never to allow me to live this down at work. I will forever be asked about Michael and the state of our relationship.

I would like to give a couple shout outs in case I dont blog in the next few days:

But, tonight I HAVE to take the time to watch O.C., Bachelorette (which poses a problem, both being at 8) and Celebrity Mole: Yucatan Finale!!! Then, I am going to watch B-Batt run up and down the courts earning themselves a victory in basketball!!! And, after that, the studying will continue...

Well, in order for it to continue it has to begin so I better get on it...au revoir my loves!
