happy birthday!

Do YOU know what today is??? It’s fourth year anniversary of SC :)

The site was created June 30, 2005. I was 15 at the time. Now I’m 19. Boy how times flies…

Through all the drama, endless debates through my comment section, the updates, the contests, and all those youtube videos….I’m happy to say that while not every decision I made might have been the best decision, it’s got me to where I am now. And at the time it seemed like a pretty dang cool decision so you know maybe it was the best one HAAAAAAAAAA in your face :D

Oops. Seriousness….

Thanks to all the veteran visitors (and even the rookies!) of swimchick, since I am NOW off school I hope to be able to update some more and change this stupid layout. Getting on my nerves.

Man I really just ruin the whole serious vibe hahaha can’t help it.

Anyway, to all the commenters, what has been your favorite swimchick moment?

i sat in gum and burnt my pants

You heard right folks. I officially quit life!!!!!

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THERE ARE TYPES OF STUFF YOU CANT IRON?!?!? :’( NO ONE TOLD ME THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah as the title states, after a long game of tennis I sat my little bottom down and when I tried to get up I realized I had sat on fresh gum. I knew one of the perpetrators were amongst us, I could smell the mint flavor rising off my capris. I knew they were around, within a few miles radius and boy did I want to punch them in the face and make them eat this gum off the floor. Well actually it was no longer on the floor IT WAS ON MY PANTS!!!!!!! In that case – I’d force feed them gravel.

So what did everyone else do? Well, I was not alone. There was my cousin Hussein, my brother Hassan (god knows who invited him, wasn’t me), Joseph, my sisters Melissa and Samantha and my friend Yaseen. It was one big party eh.
Mel started to giggle next to me and she’s all like OMGGG I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA SIT ON IT AND I WAS GONNA TELL YOU BUT IT WAS TOO LATE!!!!!

Thanks Mel. You’re a real crucial addition to this family.

After that horrifying experience I went to my mom’s friend to print out a paper and of course, I wailed on about the ‘i sat in gum’ moment I had just a few hours earlier. She told me that to get rid of the gum I should put a piece of paper on top of the gum and iron it and the gum would come right off. She seemed pretty confident about it, and hey, arabs seem to know the kinks to everything. They can fix ANYTHING.

I got home and around 2 am (great timing eh) I got my paper ready and put the iron on. To make sure it was hot and ready to use, I tested out the iron on a section of my capris, when I did so it made this fuming noise like FERERYEUIRYEIRERHRK and I immediately took the iron off and behold: it BURNT MY CAPRIS!!!!!!!!!!
It freakin ate everything left of that right side pant leg. Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!! There was really nothing left to do but cry and whine and complain to everyone who was not involved. First person: my mom. Yeah, my parents were up chillin watching tv at 2 am as I walked upstairs like I had arthritis (to add dramatic effect to the story that I was about to tell them) while holding the pants in front of me like a corpse and I told my mom what happened. She told me I wasn’t supposed to iron those kind of pants, because of the material it’s made from.

Yeah…I need to add this to the guide of life. I’m mad but, hey whatever, I learned my lesson. Even if it wasn’t really a lesson, but it’s all that damn gum spitters fault.
I remember when I first sat it in I screamed out,

OMG!!?!? WHO THE HELL CHEWS GUM?!?!?……. AND PUTS IT HERE!?!!!!!!!

I’m a character.

the day i glued my fingers together

Yesterday I was gluing up some things with this glue I bought from my school. Mind you, art schools that sell glue – tend to have REALLY GOOD GLUE. Like I’m talking glue yourself to a fighter jet and even after it blows up you’ll still be attached to the piece you glued yourself to. The glue I bought was zappa gappa or something like that, it is SUPER GLUE to the power of 500000. Cost me 5 bucks for that tiny bottle hell yea it better be super.

So I’m over there bragging to my cousin how great this glue is, gluing together everything…when I accidentally squeeze the bottle too much and all this excess glue comes pouring out. In an attempt to save the carpet I put my hand under the dripping glue and run towards the trash. Not sure why, but anytime something goes wrong, go for the garbage. It’s like the homebase.

But as I was letting the glue drip into there, I forgot to let all my fingers release so the glue wouldn’t stick. By the time I tried to move my fingers it was too late, I had already glued two of them together. I tried to free them by pulling my fingers apart, but I swear to you, this glue was so strong, my fingers didn’t even move. I began to scream and go wild. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. My fingers now looked like this. Like I was always throwing up a gang sign. Yea this will be great for Detroit.

My cousin told me to soak it in water and I sat there crying (more so whining) telling my mom,
“MOMMMY!!!!!!!! LOOK AT MY FINGERS!!!!!!!! IM A FREAK!!!!!!!!!!!“

The soaking did nothing but give my cousin some more satisfaction, moving the spectacle now to the bathroom. He tried to get a knife and cut out the pieces in between my fingers but after the first try I was like get that knife away from me yo. No one is gonna play LETS SEE IF I CAN CUT JESSICAS FINGERS FREE WITH THIS KNIFE!

My cousin kept trying to tell me to soak it in coffee, pepsi, like wtfff does this guy think I’m dumb!?!?? COFFEE??? Yea lemme tell you how I’m gonna smell like an old person after all this.

I had work in 30 minutes and I was NOT gonna go work with the kids looking like shrek with 4 fingers. So I took the initiative to cut my fingers free on my own. After 15 or so minutes I was finally free, but trust me, it was not an easy task. I felt like a freakin surgeon over there trying to cut the glue between my fingers. :(

Anyway I have work today as usual….the kids can actually say my name now, that’s always nice. I HAVE NOT forgotten about the tutorial. I actually tried to do it yesterday with the support of Sumaiya BUT I hated the mockup, so I scraped it. I’m going to begin another mockup tonight (that’s how I start my tutorials…create a mockup of a graphic for a tutorial then write the tutorial on the mockup). But I’ll have to work on it much later because I might go to the movies to watch The Proposal. Is that a good movie or should I bring a pillow and be ready to take a nap?

Love you alllllllllll and please stay away from super glue.
Oh and if you would like to, follow me on twitter. ;)
