1st-May-2007 11:01 pm - ff to saturday plz. kthanx.

So Saturday was basically the most awesome of days I've had in a very long time, despite Spencer's best attempts to ruin it by splitting the inside of my upper lip open early in the afternoon. Matt and I went to go see Hot Fuzz which is basically a must if you've seen/adore Shaun of the Dead. It absolutely tickled the both of us how many actors from SotD were in HF, and how many SotD jokes made it into the movie. Smashing. On top of it all, its one of those movies that you have to see at least twice to get all the wonderful things that are going on. Matt's basically just as awesome, and I'm so so glad everything got put out in the open between me and him. He's a very sweet guy. (And it's totally okay for me to write this because I know he's reads this before; even apologizing (times 80) for reading the other entry that was clearly about him. Hi!)

We went back to UConn where I got to meet his roommate and their friends which I was so nervous about. If the friends don't like, its a mighty big hill to get over. I was so relieved to see he's friends with nothing but awesome and super nice people (I tend to use that word alot now). Made that whole thing alot easier. Got my ass spanked in Guitar Hero II, which prompted me buying my own wireless controller and game on Monday after work so I have a week to practice before I head back out to Storrs again on Saturday. I'm not really planning to beat him - he's got like a million hour head start as far as time goes - I just want to look the least bit badass at it.

As it stands now, I'm just waiting for the week to be over so I can go out and see him again Saturday. Which, by itself is pretty awesome. I definately needed this.

I feel:happy

27th-Apr-2007 10:37 pm - Notes

Note to self:

From now on, when you feel the need to write about a boy on your livejournal and don't want him to know that you are writing about him, do not mention the fact that there is boy advice waiting for you on your livejournal. Especially when you have the link to your livejournal in your AIM user info. It's your own fault for letting yourself think that he is not smart enough to click and read.

However, this can be forgiven due to the fact that it worked out very much for the best, and I am going out with said boy tomorrow night for what could officially be considered our first date. (yay!) Needless to say I'm freaking out and nervous as all hell.

Note to the people I work with:

Enjoying vampires does not make you a freak. The other week the guy on the radio station we are basically forced to listen to at work says something about how one of his daughters is dating a guy she met online. He then goes on to say that her friend frequently uses the internet as a way to check up on the guys she sees, and that sometimes she finds out 'weird things' about them. 'Werid things' apparently means liking vampires. So I said out loud "what is that supposed to mean? You can like vampires without being weird." And my boss - the same one who said I read too much just to make it clear - gives me an odd look and shakes his head. I'm also teased for most of the day about biting people.

What the hell. I tried to explain to them that enjoying a movie that has vampires in it doesn't mean I go around biting people, or sleep in a coffin, or any of the other odd things that they thought went along with enjoying a good Dracula or Underworld movie. People being closed minded meanies are not cool.

I feel:excited

13th-Apr-2007 09:53 am - Hey immune system! What the hell!?

I woke up this morning to the depressing realization that I am currently blessed with my first cold in two years. And naturally, as most colds do, its here on the one weekend I need to have tons of energy and be feeling well. So that figures.

...just how much vitamin C can a girl injest before her insides turn orange?

10th-Apr-2007 10:39 pm - a pirate's life for me part 3,005,666

So. Yeah.

Reason 43,544 why its undeniable that I have a serious obsession with Pirates (Especially of the Caribbean variety):
- I spent $2.49 plus whatever the cost is to actually transfer the kbs to my phone to get "He's A Pirate" as my new ringtone. I'm actually making people call me so I can hear my ringtone.

Reason 43,545 why its undeniable that I have a serious obsession with Pirates (Especially of the Caribbean variety):
- My new shirt from Hot Topic. Thank god for youth large sizes, because its a boy's shirt. I'd be very unhappy with a men's small.

I feel:excited

7th-Apr-2007 09:19 am - Coach, The Devil and Pirates

Devil, thy name is Coach. As long as I've been interested in having a bag that isn't some no name knock off of a knock off from like, Fashion Bug (so I'd put this somewhere around sophmore year in high school) I have coveted anything and pretty much everything that Coach comes out with. I mean, I've been stalking their website for years now, and my sister used to literally have to pull me away from the Coach store at Westfarms. So one can only imagine that the first thing I did upon cashing the $757 check my parents gave me into my checking account. I got myself a Coach bag. This one to be exact. And I know this is very shallow. But. I loveitiloveitiloveit. I already threatened the dog that if he so much as even thinks about chewing on it there will be severe and swift retribution on my part. The only real problem with the bag is the fact that its white, and that means I can't put it down anywhere because I just know the second I set it down out of my site someone's going to spill grape soda on it or something. But this is about how swanky I get.

Interesting discovery yesterday for those of you with iPods. I accidently washed my earbuds in the washing machine. I had brought them to work just in case I wanted/needed to listen to something other than Billy Joel for the 50th time, and left them in the pocket of my hoodie. Well. You all should know that if you wash your earbuds in a cold cycle, not only do they come out completely nice and clean and white, but continue to work. I'm not saying go chuck those babies in the washer, but if it should happen, dont be quite to freak out like I did.

So apparently Disney has told Keith Richards not to worry about having to go out

and about promoting Pirates of the Caribbean after his little "I snorted m'daddy" joke. I was more surprised at the fact that they had the confidence to let him do the promoting circut in the first place. You can't understand the man to begin with, and you never know what he's going to say. This is the same man who a few years ago made the comment that the Rolling Stones still tour because 'the chicks still dig us'. Holy crap, Keith. I don't want to see what those chicks look like. I had to put the picture in because the two of them together is insane. I don't even think that he's trying to look like a grizzled old pirate. I wouldn't be surprised if Keith just showed up on the set and they went "BRILLIANT! Don't change your clothes. Here are your lines, aaaaaaand go." I've been watching the trailer and sneak peek on yahoo almost everyday in anticipation. I can't believe its only a little over a month away now. What the hell am I going to do now that there aren't any more Pirates movies coming out?? That means that all I have left to cling to are the Harry Potter movies, and there's only a precious few of those left to freak out over.

I feel:busy

30th-Mar-2007 09:20 pm(untitled)

So my car decided to up and die on me Thursday morning as I was trying to go to work. That's always a fun time. No amount of sweet talking or promises of new air fresheners and other things that could be dangled from the rear view mirror could bring 'The Pearl' back to me. Luckily, my mother was home so I took her car to work. Later that night when my dad came home we tried to jump it in order to bring it down to the garage. (It had this point been unanimously diagnosed as a dead battery.) We didn't get it started and called down to the garage where they said no problem; they'd come pick it up tomorrow (today.) Well. It's now 9:30pm Friday night and my poor dead car is still out in my driveway. We offered to get AAA to tow it. Nope. They insisted that they would come get it. Apparently according to my mother who works at same garage in the store, I shouldn't be worried by this. Uh. Tomorrow's Saturday. The next day is Sunday; and after that I have to be at work for 9am Monday. If my car doesn't get taken tomorrow and a new battery put in, I have no way of getting to work on Monday. Why am I the only one even slightly nervous about this? Granted, I know it doesn't take all that long to change a car's battery, but if it takes over 24 hours just for them to come get the car, how the hell am I supposed to have it back before Monday morning?! My only consolation is the fact that if my car isn't ready for Monday I'm bound to get a rental out of this. And the garage just so happens to have the cutest little red Prius hybrid on the lot that I've been eye coveting for the last few months.

I had to severely chomp down on my tongue at work yesterday. I hadn't been there since Monday due to the lack of work coming in, and in my short time off they had gone out and gotten disinfectant wipes for the benches. As we were getting some work, I casually read the label not only to make it look like I was actually doing something more than merely standing around, but because sometimes the things they have to put on labels are frightening. For instance; the wipes in question? The first thing printed on a back was a warning that basically said "do not under the penalty of federal law use these wipes in any way other than those instructed on the package." I thought this was odd, so I read it outloud. My boss was walking by as he was dropping off the work, heard me and commented: "you read too much." To which I desperately wanted to reply "maybe you didn't read enough." But I didn't, because I would have been out of there sooo fast.

Some of you may have noticed that this entry is public. After I made my journal friends only back in June because someone was extremely immature in their commenting, some of my friends who weren't members on livejournal kept saying that I never updated this anymore, which is not true. So for the next few entries or so, I'm going to give it a little public test run and see how I feel about everyone and anyone being able to read what I write. We'll see how it goes. Even if I do decide to go public again, I doubt the entries before this will be switched over. But for those of you who couldn't read this before, you weren't really missing all that much.

I feel:blah
