WHY?

.....Am I still having nightmares about last semesters assignment deadlines? My sleep has been taken over by fear of missing deadlines. Now, I know one doesnt have to be a rocket scientist to read a bit into it and say, it seems like you have anxiety. Doesnt everyone? Now leave me alone and let me dream of unicorns or something.

......Am I following PeeWee Herman on TWITTER? All he does is promote himself. I was thinking his tweets would reveal a word of the day or something, nope. As a kid I loved PEEWEES PLAYHOUSE. Every Saturday morning. His movies rules too. I still think of Large Marge and get scared...




......Am I still able to recite the first paragraph of Robert Services "THE CREMATION OF SAM MCGEE" from 6th grade, yet I struggle to remember my student id number along with my credit card number?? Now granted, this little excerpt makes me appear to be very well versed and educated and all, I still dont get it!

.....Dont we have substantial conversations anymore? Why is it that "shooting the shit" has literally turned to shit. Filler. Nonsense and surface? When was the last time you sat down and had a really nice deep conversation with friends? I had one a few days ago and it felt like human interaction was back for good. Go for it, who cares what people think? Who cares if youre shedding a superficial layer? Just be yourself and I promise you-- you wont be disappointed!

.....Are there only like 2 pink MENTOS in the tropical fruit pack? I dont want to buy a full strawberry pack I just want 2 more, is that asking for too much??

....Is Apple+C copy but Apple+V is paste?

....Do people take advantage of kindness?

....Does my remote control refuse to power off my TV when Im ready to go to sleep? It performs every other action but power.

....Is JOHN MAYER so weird??

MAKING MY WAY BACK...

Im dedicating this post to S. Thanks for reminding me how much I used to blog. I love blogging dammit. So here I am!

I finally finished LOVING FRANK on the plane yesterday. I highly recommend it. Nancy Horan can write and suck you in. I wont lie, there were some parts that took longer than others to get thru, but all in all, its a great love story with a ton of relevant historical references that really blew me away. Go for it. I cried on the plane. People thought that i was off, but gosh, Im a sentimental emotional girl and I couldnt hold the tears back while reading. Bite me!

I havent played my ukulele in a while and that bums me out so I am going to really try to make an effort to get back on top of it.

US CUSTOMS is annoying. Even when Im doing absolutely nothing wrong going thru it scares me. What is with that huge yellow line that you MUST stand behind?? Scary.com

Lifetime original movies are hilarious. The scripts are ridiculous and the actors are so bad! LMN is my guilty pleasure late at night. Sadly THE PREGNANCY PACT didnt TIVo while I was away :(

Whenever I am about to fly on a plane, I go into this panic that Im going to starve to death. Regardless of whether Ive eaten the biggest meal known to man a minute before boarding, Im still worried that I will be starving in minutes. I usually am. What is that?? Plane rides bring out the inner beast in me. I load up on all the crap Id never allow myself to ingest normally. Pringles, Bounty, Pizza, Chunky bars.. you name it, Im on it.

Turns out that I can do a killer SAMMI from Jersey Shore imitation. I just discovered this amazing talent whilst recovering from a wicked cold and a hoarse voice, dont hate, just ask me to demonstrate.

I love anything thermal. No, seriously.

SO heres a list of things that I need asap.

- a new computer
- a new ipod or even an itouch will do.
- a new clutch for at night.
- speed radar in my car.
- actually, a new car might be better, but Id settle for the cable for my ipod to play in it.
- love letters, or blog comments.
- anonymous mix cd's.
- keratin hair treatment.
- scented candles.
xo.

NO SUBJECT

I sit here typing with the sorest throat known to man. Sore throats blow. When my throat hurts I click the back of it to scratch it. It doesnt really help honestly and it sounds weird.

Ever since I linked the picture of J-Wow on my blog, the visitors have been pouring in. Exciting as it is, sadly its not because they flock to my reading. BUMMER. They just want to see a picture of her. Thanks?

I just found out that my English teacher is supposedly a hottie. Nice!

Had to cough up 900 big ones to TEK SERVE for data retrieval today. I wanted to cry. Then I remembered that you cant really put a price tag on memories and felt justified. Then I felt sh*tty again. RIP hard drive.

I got a lot accomplished today so that was cool.

Man, my throat really hurts.

A told me last night that contrary to what she tried to convince herself all these years, she finally admits that she is not cool. I wanted to agree with her to make her feel better and say neither am I, but I dunno, all I said was- "Hmm, I think Im cool, but being uncool is kinda cool, no?, the irony of it and all?" She disagreed with that concept but told me that I was, indeed, cool. Glad we settled that one.
What the hell does being cool mean anyway?!

I love my sisters to death. Im so lucky to have them.

Oh by the way... Theres a mountain in Alabama called METH MOUNTAIN. WHY?? Meth is constantly being produced/homemade over there in these abandoned homes and is then sold to users around town. No, really, its true. Google it. DO NOT DO DRUGS. DRUGS kill people and destroy families and lives. If you know someone who needs help, please get them some asap. Watch the in depth INTERVENTION episode on Meth Mountain.

Pina Colada Orbit gum has been a like of mine lately. It smells strong too. Its yummy at first but then gets gross after a while- but isnt that the way everything is in life anyway?

N, Mish, Ey and I had the funniest night ever the other night. Maybe ill blog about it one day.

How was this little post of randomness?

Ill be gone for a bit but will try to pop in and say hello. If I have a profound thought, you know me... Ill blurt it right out for you. While Im gone tho, get yourself into sudoku please?? We can talk about it together!

I will be reading THE FOUNTAINHEAD by Ayn Rand while im gone. Why dont you read it with me and we can have a book club discussion in a couple of weeks.

Love you.

SAY WHAT I MEAN, BUT I DONT MEAN WHAT I SAY...

Well, its been a week now since my mac ibook crashed on me leaving me completely distraught. When one has over 6,000 photos and just about 7,000 songs this would be an appropriate way to feel. Go ahead now, all at one... You didnt back it up??? The answer is yes, I tried to many times but of course the ext HD that I bought was sketchy so everytime I was mid back up towards the last part an error message would pop up. N was kind enough to offer his help with data retrieval, so my baby has been in his care since Monday. He says I should have it back by today. Gd bless you N. He says that maybe he can salvage the pics. Who knows anymore. Im so sad. Im one of those people who use thei stickie notes too, so consider those recipes, notes and links gone forever into the abyss. Oh man, I need to stop right now, Im getting upset just thinking about it.

The good news is, last week made me more aware of just how much time I spend on the web and being away from it wasnt THAT bad. I caught up on a lot of tv and did a lot of reading. I was also way more active. The hardest part was at night before bed, because sitting on my computer in bed is my way to unwind. Once you have a lap top its so hard to sit by a desk and work the web on a PC.

Okay enough of that. Last week was a busy one. School starts again now so I tried to get it all in, meeting up with friends and stuff. J was visiting from out of town so that was a nice surprise. I really enjoyed the time off and Im kinda sad to get sucked back into school life.

Ive been doing a lot of thinking lately and I came to the conclusion, that I am the type of person who needs time to digest things, no not food, you idiot, thoughts!Hahaha. Im just kidding, dont get all emo, of course I dont think youre an idiot. No but seriously, I find that i need to sit with things before I can really comment on them and really absorb them. Which brings me back to the pause button. Remember that show growing up where... Oh yeah, OUT OF THIS WORLD.. Thats it!! Shed put her two fingers together and freeze the world while she regrouped. That was so genius. Why isnt that an option?? Seriously. Send this post to your tech friends and lets get this going!

PS I LOVE YOU is the worst movie, dont bother with it.

SOMETIMES...

SOMETIMES... I can talk myself out of a bad dream mid-dream by telling myself not to worry because its "only a dream"
(I know!!! Crazy, right?)

SOMETIMES... I count recite multiplication tables in my head like I did when I was in school just to stay on top of my game.

SOMETIMES... I think about buying a mini dust buster for my car because I believe that I am the only one capable of cleaning it the right way. Hello, remember my pinkberry spill debacle?? Theres still granola lodged in the crevices of the seat side.

SOMETIMES... Well, Im lying, most of the time I still play that dont step on the lines on the sidewalk while Im walking...

SOMETIMES.. I paint myself out to be a complete OCD lunatic when really, Im not so much. Just look inside my bag its a mess!

SOMETIMES... I think a pinky swear is the only legitimate way to seal a promise and trust it.

SOMETIMES... I wonder what Id look like without freckles. Id probably just look albino so never mind.

SOMETIMES... I get these AHA! moments and I wonder what took me so long for it to click?!

SOMETIMES... My right thumb shakes when I type and Im convinced that I have the early onset of Parkinsons and google the sh*t out of it, then I get bored and check my twitter.

SOMETIMES... I wish I was more creative.

SOMETIMES... I find it really hard to commit to stupid things.

SOMETIMES... I listen to traffic on the 1's.

GRATUITOUSLY YOURS...

There is nothing I love and appreciate more than waking up to see that someone has left a comment on my blog. Its so exciting! Im so glad that people read it and enjoy it (I hope). Please dont stop! I just wish youd let me know who you guys are. Who cares if I dont know you, I dont find it creepy I find it extremely awesome. Someone left me a comment that was so sweet and I really appreciated it, so anonymous, thank you for your kind words!!! You made my day :)

You know those people that smell like food whenever they leave their house? My mom calls it house-a-tosis. I hate that! I dont want to smell your gnarly peppers stewing when you get in my car. EWWW. When you leave your house you should only smell like soap, delicious perfume/cologne or at the very least fabric softener. If you MUST smell like food let it be freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, okay?! GREAT, glad we cleared that one up, its been on my mind for some time.

I am a smell person. Certain smells either rope me in or have me running for dear life.

Which leads me into my next list titled-

THE SMELLS I CANNOT STAND and WHY

- DIRTY HAIR- Need I really explain this one?! Yes sometimes a guy smells good even when he smells gross, and sometimes dirty hair on a super cute guy can be overlooked once or twice (enter the term musk), but as for the ladies, there is just no excuse!!

-ONIONS COOKING- Good luck getting rid of that stench. Comparable to BO.

- MOTHBALLS- Because you can clear a room with that smell. Id rather you walk around with holes in your clothes than have you in my car or within 10 ft of me! I know that its a given when you get older, you load your closet with them, but let it be known, I WILL NEVER CAVE IN and neither should you guys, unless you like to be alone. My sister in law refers to this smell as the birthmark one. How can you not love her just for that?!

-COOL WATER COLOGNE- Because every sleaze ball dude in high school wore that! Lets not go back there, k?

-B.O.- Theres just no excuse, Im sorry. Have you seen the deodorant isle in the supermarket/pharmacy?!! Common, its bigger than the bottled drinks section... Dont give me that its unhealthy lecture either, TOMS OF MAINE makes the "green" kind. Careful not to go overboard though with the vanilla sweet scent, because strong smelling deodorants are a total turn off too, its a tricky one.

-CAR DEODORIZERS- Those tree thingys are vomit inducing.


Im starting to make myself sick, I need to stop.


Im not a tight wad, I promise, no really, Im not. Ill still be your friend and all Im just trying to help!

NO, REALLY, IT IS!!

IT'S THE END OF WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.

Think about it...

Crime is up
Healthcare is a huge crisis
Heath Ledger is dead
and
Susan Sarandon & Tim Robbins are splitting.


Yep.
We're cooked.

IM LIKE, SO WHAT?

Food obsessions are gross. Food is gross. If you eat food and get pleasure from it youre gross, unless youre me.
Those rules do not apply to me. I am battling an obsession with OATMEAL and brown sugar.

STARBUCKS is the culprit.



Thank you very much. They can keep the nuts , raisins and other crap they love to put in there, Ill be a big girl and eat it plain as long as I have brown sugar. Not to be confused with white, sugar in the raw, splenda, equal and all that other rat poison. Soft packed brown sugar. K thanks! I suggest you get on this ASAP. Dont say I never give you anything, because I just did!

Why? Because I love you. Weve got a bond going on over here, I value you because you read this and by default you are my best friend.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN has also taken over my life. Before I start an online brawl, Id like to put out a disclaimer, these opinions are my own. I am not gd nor am I your higher power, Im just an opinionated girl. His song writing ability blows me away like very few others. CONOR OBERST, BOB DYLAN and ELLIOTT SMITH get this same rise out of me. There are a few others but those were the 3 that came to me off the top of my head. J is like the BRUCE go to. He made me the most insane mix. I am loving it! But as you all know, I tend to pick songs to play the sh*t out of until I detest them and need to retire em for a good month or two. So-- moving along-- those songs right now are THE PROMISE and THE RIVER. Now, I dare you to listen and not feel his raw emotion. Wrap yourself around his words and feel them. No really, go for it! Let me know.

I constantly find myself asking myself, because, hey, im my very own best friend, IS THIS REAL? Now, I understand that this is a very vague statement to make and to share but tough, its my blog so its my rules. Like when I wake up and its snowing for the third day in a row, I ask. IS THIS REAL? Like when my car reads the outside temp as 10 degrees, I ask, IS THIS REAL?? When something is unfolding right in front of me and Im in total shock, I internally ask- WAIT, IS THIS REAL? When I watch JERSEY SHORE and see JWOWs outfits I wonder if its real- and-



GUESS WHAT?? ITS ALL REAL!

Dont let anyone convince you otherwise.

Here are those songs, look how easy I make life for you!!

(I hate posting vids like this because it makes the artists look like theyre dead and these are their tribute videos, but til I learn how to stream music again, this will have to do. I MISS YOU IMEEM ** sad** )

x and o








It even has the lyrics! You can sing along!
