Birth of Evaluations! + Art 6 Eval

Sooo my sister and  cousin Alex have informed me that I should prolly be a little more profesh if I want to get anywhere with this. Okay I guess I can do that..

Nikki's Intro: My sister. The cheese to my macaroni. She was the one who tied me to a rolling office chair with a jump rope and pushed me down the stairs of our two story house. But you can't help but fall in love with her rude, inappropriate, uncalled for comments and random punches to the boob. And we always have to one-up each other. When she got her wisdom teeth out, I got my wisdom teeth out and got dry socket. And when she got her gallbladder removed a couple months after I had to have my appendix removed. It's like some sort of sick competition that neither of us try to compete in, and when one of our bodies is in pain the other has to suffer too. Mine just happens to be the one that suffers more... It's some sort of parasitic relationship, she called me names like "Sandy" (for all those OC watchers, that was a stab at Sandy Cohen's eyebrows) or "Manna" and when she got a puppy I was "Uncle Anna". Yet after all these confidence killer nicknames, I still did her laundry for her when she came home for college. I guess it's the little things I like to hold on to like if anyone else picks on me she'll threaten to go all Snapped on their ass, and I know she'll be there in case I get some sort of STD or pregnancy scare. So props to Nikki!

Alex's Intro: This girl. One of the four members of the "Barbie Squad" also comprised of my other cousins Victoria "Billie" and Pamela "Pamcakes".

*side note* So Alex, Billie, Pam and I are all cousins who are around the same age and grew up together. These were my other sisters. We literally spent almost everyday of summers, and even weeks at a time when our real families abandoned us, at each others houses. We made stupid videos together, spent our first "drunken night" together and got caught the next day together, traveled across the country together, i could go on for hours. Oh Barbie Squad, so this just amazing name came about when we were all in jr. high and realized we were wearing the same colored barbie pink nail polish, so dun da da dun! Barbie Squad was born!

So Alex, like you just read is a like a sister to me. I tell her like everything. So if you tell me a secret, she probably knows. She is super smart and helps me just get through life. She is a freaking amazing ballerina and is artsie and musical. She got much of the creativity in the fam. All throughout our childhood people thought we were twins because sometimes, even if we didn't try, ended up wearing the same outfits. But great minds think a like right? Still to date even our family members, cough cough Momo, still confuse our names. Anyways she is also a fellow blogger and is helping me with all this stuff.

 See what I mean? Freakin awesome.

Art Six

i am currently sitting on a couch at Art 6. it was a beautiful warm 73degree weathered day here in January so i decided to get an iced white mocha drink ($3.50). unfortunately i realized how much i don't like iced coffee. i am listening to my girls by animal collective looking at a weird picture of a naked elephant woman. what a trip. this is a cool lookin place nice wood everywhere... so far pretty cool people. the lady who sold me my iced coffee is cooleo. there's an interesting looking black man next to me and a cute couple outside on a date. Nice music. i'm pretty "typed out" from my first post so this is a short one. check out the pics. way to go Art 6

 Alixe's non sweetened peach mango iced tea & chicken salad bagel get's a thumbs up! "say it was good and filling."

 Nauren's iced chai tea and pizza bagel "tasted like a giant bagel bite!"

This infamous iced white mocha. "ehhh."

The Beginning: So what could be more cliche than a coffee shop blog?

Here's the story: My name is Anna. I have recently found a new passion in my life, coffee shops. I think it's the atmosphere. I just love the feel when you walk in, and the smells, and the people, the whole shabang. So lately me and my friends have decided to try out all the coffee shops in Denton, Tx. So i tell my sister, and the brilliant the English major, convinces me to start a blog, now there are a few things you need to know about me before you start reading because this may make or break the whole following ordeal. So here you go...

1. I'm not much of a writer/speaker/communicator. I really don't have a way with words. When I speak, I speak what's on my mind I don't care if it makes sense. That goes the same way with typing. And with an exception of this first blog I will not use proper punctuation because personally I hate capitalizing. And I like putting commas and periods where ever i want. I also like to make up my own words. This probably arose when my cousin Pamela taught me "G language" so thanks. Oh and I ramble.

2. I know a lot of people. Or I like to think I do. I am the daughter of Nanette and Benji. Sister of Monica "Nikki". Aunt of Chloe, yes it is my sister's dog, she has currently replaced me as favorite in the Sales household and I will get in trouble if I don't mention her. My mom is a child of 9, my dad a child of 8. And unlike normal people, I pretty much know every single one of my cousins and aunts and uncles on a personal level. And there's a lot of them so when a person comes up in this blog and in the intro I say they are my cousin I'm not lying. I consider a lot of people my friend. But the key players who will be coming with me on this journey are Alexandria Lauren Marcus "Alixe" and Lauren Nichole Eisenbeck "Nauren". I don't know why but I make up nicknames for everyone I know, and half the time they don't make sense.

Alixe's Intro: like me she's a fellow filipino, but she's a halfsie/byproduct, she's also white. She has awesome long brown hair and  is a country freak. If she could she would totally go to billy bob's every night. She is a  fellow Texas Woman's native. We met at orientation when we sat next to each other and I thought she had a cool yellow shirt on. One minute we were wondering who each others roommate for the weekend was, the next we realized it was each other. It was fate. She is also a Virgo just like me. (btdub I refuse to change my horoscope)

 Nauren's Intro: total indie chick. blond curly hair who is a hippie at heart and not only listens to every type of music, but knows the lyrics to pretty much any song. she is a talented singer and is currently learning to play the ukulele. just another "t-dub" resident. She lives across the hall and we're members of Net 6! She motivates me to workout and we have currently decided to start boot camp. well see how that goes... We met because we had some floor event and she looked cool so I talked to her. Then we all went to On the Border for my birthday dinner. Awesome.

As you can tell my grammar is getting worse...

Now for me! Anna Marie Sales' Intro: I am a 5'1" aka short filipino. I am growing my hair out and it's getting pretty long because my whole childhood I had a bob and I looked like a little boy. I have a shopping fetish. And I feel like I am a jack of tricks master of none. Yeah I pretty much like to do a lot of things just not really that awesome at any of them. I am convinced i have OCD because a lot of little things bother me. I usually can't sleep if my room isn't clean. I have this insane fear that I'm going to get a papercut in my eye so when I walk by billboards i often have to close my eyes. I wish my life was as interesting as Gossip Girl or Glee. I just kind of tred through life, just waiting for special to happen...

Okay enough of the boring stuff let's talk coffee!

3. I really shouldn't drink coffee. After one cup my heart feels like it's about to come out of my throat and my hands shake incredibly as if I had Parkinson's Disease. Also I can't think straight. My mom is trying to wean me off caffeine and on to teas or something. However, has she forgotten that I am a college student? whatevsies.

So in this blog I will be hitting up all of the listed coffee shops in Denton with an exception of the overrated Starbucks. And once I complete Denton, here I come the rest of Texas! Yeah i'm pretentious, deal with it.

Are you ready for this?
