because i hate it when sports writers are wrong...

my mom showed me an article in the sports section of the argus today, and i really had to laugh out loud. some writer basically said that stanford football isn't winning because they are an academic school. excuse me?? it's not like they've never been to a bowl game, stat boy.

i had to reply...and i did via email back to the paper. see below. (i had a limit of 100 words, or i really would have made about 400 other points. promise.)

Art Spander's article on how Stanford is "an academic institution, not an athletic factory" on Sunday, October 15, 2006 was laughable. As a true blue Cal fan, it pains me to point out that Stanford has won 12 consecutive Directors' Cup titles. The Directors' Cup is awarded to the school with the top overall athletic program.

Stanford football may not be winning games, but don't forget where Cal was during the 2001 season: 1-10. It's quite obvious that Stanford is going through a drought, and the blame does not need to be placed on such an erroneous generalization.

p.s. it was really hard not to type stanFUrd each time, but i was a good girl. :)

If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to walk to the store
If I had a million dollars we'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more
If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to eat Kraft dinner
"But we would eat Kraft dinner."
"Of course we would, we'd just eat more."
"And buy really expensive ketchups with it."
"That's right, all the fanciest Dijon ketchups."

If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you a green dress (but not a real green dress that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you some art (A Picasso or a Garfunkel)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you a monkey (haven't you always wanted a monkey?!)
And if I had a million dollars I'd buy your love (if i had $1000000, barenaked ladies)

okay, just so everyone knows, i am moving to los gatos. with of course, my rich husband and we can make lots of babies. of course this may never happen, but it's now my new dream. :)

i got to visit the beautiful katy at her lovely parents house in los gatos. driving there, my mouth was open, just completely in shock at how pretty these houses were!! they were in the foothills with lots of land, and totally adorable. sigh.

we hung out for a bit, and she took me to a really yummy italian place downtown. my chicken artichoke was to die for!! mmmmmmmm!! a friend of hers said hi to us as he walked in, and then sat with another guy. after our meal, katy and i said hi to them, but right before we did she said, "oh yeah, this other guy is the qb for stanFUrd." i thought she was kidding, and we went over and chatted for a bit. i didn't remember what the qb looked like without his helmet on, so i decided not to say anything in case i didn't hear her right. turns out when i searched for him online after, it totally was. hee hee!! i prolly wouldn't have said anything mean, anyway. it's not his fault he doesn't have anyone to throw it to. he's just like favre this season.

after dinner, katy showed me around downtown a bit. the big, old trees all had white lights in them, and the streets were full of cute botiques and small restaurants. we walked by a candy store (that was still open at 9:30) and i pretty much had a heart attack. it was just like the saying, "like a kid in a candy shop." i went NUTS!! they had these really hard to find treats!! stuff they sell in england, belguim, canada, only in the northwest US...you name it, they had it!! well, except for dr. pepper gum, but i think they don't make that anymore. it was great to find all these amazing treats that i had enjoyed as a small child. i got a lot of things for halloween fun bags, too!!

so yes, in short, i had a great time with katy and i hope we can hang out again soon!! also, i am in <3 with los gatos. sigh.

if you haven't seen the stupid p. diddy clip on youtube about him/youtube/burger king...get your ass over there and watch it. be sure to watch the lisa nova clip totally baggin on p. diddy right after. that woman is HI-larious!!

i stuffed my face with some very yummy sushi tonight and my tummy is sooo happy. horray for maki and bonzai rolls!! i actually got it all to go cause i had to bring a lot back for the fam, and the lady gave me edamame and tea while i waited. they know how to keep this girl comin back for more!! :)

my perfect guy:

*nice forearms like johnny bravo
*sensitive, romantic, and a great kisser like luke wilson
*dirty like jason mewes
*wants me to shake my moneymaker like luda
*hockey smart and not afraid to tell the refs what he really feels of them like drew remenda
*hilarious like dane cook
*great smile like brett favre
*loves jesus like a good boy should
*a cuddler like elmo
*someone who won't rest until i'm in his arms like prince eric from the little mermaid
*fine like jonathan cheechoo

okay, i'll "settle" for jonathan cheechoo. siiiigh. if i have to. ;)

also, this dude must be able to run the gauntlet of like 20 of my closest guy friends/family before he's deemed acceptable. so take that into consideration before sending just anyone to my door.

thanks everyone!! hee hee!! :)

and on the walls
shadows play
twilight souls
anguished ways
lost adrift
severed seas
i await you
come to me (the bazaar, the tea party)

the sharkies are playing right now and i'm soooo happy!! they introduced all the players playing tonight at the tank, and erik and i were so pumped to see vlasic!! we saw him against van, and loved calling him pickle boy. you can imagine my excitement when i saw him playing tonight, and at the tender age of 19!! the only way to make that any cooler was seeing which number he was wearing. yes, sucka...44!!

not a whole heck of a lot is new with me. i'm trying to keep my ankles extra warm to see if that helps the achiness. i'm not sure it's helping, but it's always good to be extra cuddled up!! uhhh, what else. i gave blood on saturday, donated my hair yesterday...who wants a kidney?? :)

and on that note, i bring you your moment of zen. brought to you by the beautiful rebecca. i told her i had to donate at least 10 inches of hair. this was her reply: Never heard a complaint about an extra 10 inches. athankyouverymuch.

Oh it won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won't fall forever. (it can't rain all the time, jane siberry)

i was checking the weather today, and there was an EXTREME WEATHER ALERT!! OMGZ!!

FIRST MEASURABLE RAIN EVENT OF THE SEASON EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ALONG 130W WILL DEVELOP A CUT OFF LOW
OFF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST TONIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING
UNSEASONABLY COOL AND WET WEATHER TO THE SAN FRANCISCO AND MONTEREY
BAY AREAS TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. RAIN CHANCES WILL BEGIN LATE
TONIGHT OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA...AND WILL INCREASE AND SPREAD
SOUTHWARD ON WEDNESDAY AS THE LOW APPROACHES THE COAST. THE BEST
CHANCE OF RAIN IS FROM LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER INTO THURSDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO
THURSDAY EVENING AS WELL. THIS WEATHER SYSTEM ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL
OF PRODUCING ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION...PARTICULARLY
ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY EVENING.

blah blah blah, i took a bunch of crap out

IF THUNDER IS HEARD...SEEK SHELTER INDOORS OR INSIDE A VEHICLE.
LIGHTNING KILLS MORE PEOPLE EACH YEAR THAN HURRICANES AND TORNADOES.

oh holy crap!! lightning lightning lightning!! i said it three times so it's true!! hee hee!! i really hope we have some today or tomorrow. but i hope it doesn't kill anyone. i had no idea it killed so many people!! stay indoors and grab your favorite stuffed animal!! ahhhhhhhh!!

She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there (you shook me all night long, ac/dc)

which reminds me of a simpsons joke:
otto: hey lisa, how do you spell: ac/dc?
lisa: a-c-d-c.
otto: naw man, you forgot the lightning bolt.

i just came back from crazy-time at safeway. if you shop at the one next to 5 corners, you know what i'm talking about. they've been remodeling for what feels like years, but i'm sure is at least in its second month. the first thing i noticed since the major changes have now been completed is that it looks just like the one i shopped at in vancouver!! the cashier randomly told me that they're all supposed to be universal now. so you can walk in one in canada, and know which aisle the cupcake mix will be on. fantastique!!

and since i'm being totally random in this post, i noticed that i'm more forgiving than i thought i was. i actually will go out of my way to be really nice to people who have wronged me and i think this has been going on for quite some time!! this does not apply to assholes who cut me off when there's nobody behind me. i usually grumble mean things under my breath and then forget about it. hee hee!! :)

i am turning into such the selfish baby...but this is what i really want right now. and damn it, it's my blog so i can say whatever i want!!

*someone to tell me everything will be okay
*someone who will give me a hug and a backrub
*someone to make me a cup of tea and cuddle with me for a bit

gah, i'm incredibly tired and drained and i need someone to take care of me!! :(

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

You never call me when you're sober.
You only want it cause it's over,
It's over. (call me when you're sober, evanescence)

i heard the above song for the first time a week or two. i remember first thinking, "you never get calls when this guy is sober?? how much does that suck??" anyway, it's such a great song to sing in the car...when the radio can drown me out, of course. i have no idea why i like singing it so much. maybe it's because the melody is so powerful. i sure haven't had much experience with someone not calling me when they're sober, though. i have had someone only tell me his true feelings when he was drunk, but that's a whole other nightmare.

for some reason, i am really looking forward to fall!! i usually hate fall since it signals the end of pool use, cute skirts and flip flops...some of my favorite things. but i do love the cloudy mornings, crisp air, and halloween!! unfort, my ankles are already starting to feel this colder weather and are a bit sore. nothing too painful, but enough to notice!! i'll just have to try to keep them extra warm this time around.

well, i've got a shitload of work to do, and i'm not too happy about it!! it's a beautiful day and i'd much rather be doing things i enjoy. hopefully i can get most of this done now so i can maybe get some reading done tonight. maybe some coffee will get this girl going today. :)

And everytime I've always known
That you were there, upon your throne
A lonely queen without her king
I longed for you, my love forever

All of my life
Where have you been?
I wonder if I'll ever see you again (again, lenny kravitz)

ginormous turtles have invaded!! and they eat jellyfishies?? omgz, i love them so very much!! *hugs*

if there was a contest for horrible poetry, i'm sure i'd be the champion. it's like that piece mad magazine would do once in a while. "you're a winner AND a loser if..." hahahahahahah!! but you know what, writing bad poetry is incredibly theraputic for me and it gives me a great belly laugh when i read over it. i'm so happy that i can amuse myself all day long.

on that silly note, a very happy birthday to google!! 8 years old...wow...our little baby is growing up so fast!! hahahahahahha!!

i just like how there's a cuppicake there!! with sprinkles!! horray!!

p.s. super fun cal game on saturday even though i felt like shit. go bears!!

Beauty that
we left behind
how shall we
tomorrow find

Set aside
our weight in sin
so that we
can live again

When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone (i shall not walk alone, ben harper)

so i had a dream that somebody was killing someone in my house. and nobody there could see me, but i was somehow a witness to it all. and it was my old house, before we added the second story. all the furniture, rugs, ect looked like it was from the early 60's but the woman killing and the woman dying were talking like it was the 50's. it was weird how i was just sort of floating, watching this all happen, but not able to stop anything. of course i woke up RIGHT when my alarm was about to go off, so it's been on my mind all morning!! ahhhhhhhh...that's such a weird dream to have!!

after just a little bit of searching about dreams, and murder, this is what i found: To dream that you witness a murder, indicates deep-seated anger towards somebody. Consider how the victim represents aspects of yourself that you want to destroy or eliminate.

okay, let's change the subject cause that dream was horrible and freaky, and i can't wait to dream about donuts and silly shit again. the only other thing new today is that the sunset was beautiful!! it was a super big, pink sun just chillin as it rose. i hope that i can focus on that and a lot of little things and get over my "anger" or what i need to "destroy or eliminate." how about everyone that's mean?? hee hee!!

time for a sharkies update...courtesy of moi!! hee hee!! as you last read, erik and i had tickets to see the sharks play the canucks (horray!!) on thursday. once we got there, a scalper was shouting out, "upgrade your tickets...second row." and i replied with, "nope, first row." he again said, "second row" and i said, "we're in the first row...DOWNGRADE!!" hhahaahahhahaah...okay it's not that funny now, but it was hilarous at the time.

luckily we got there early, so i had time to check out the new stuff in the store. they have the sharks scarf again!! thank goodness cause last year, they had it when i was in van, then they ran out!! you better believe i snagged that, a pink sharks hat, and a beanie!! awwww yeah!!

since our tickets were so awesome, we had club access which isn't that big of a deal to me. i still got nachos and a beer. you can't take that away from me, ever!!

there was a very funny looking penalty box official guy (what ARE their official titles??) who walked by several times on the ice. lucklily the last time he walked by, erik got a pic of him, with my head next to him. he has this great old-timey mustache. sort of like rollie fingers, but better. i'll have to get erik to post it soon. :) speaking of officials, they only had one ref at first, then someone magoo appeared out of nowhere.

i sang the canadian national anthem so loud at the beginning of the game. i always feel bad for the hockey players when they've got to sing to TWO national anthems. it looks like they just want to get the game going!!

our seats were on the right side of the penalty box, sort of right in front of the face off circle on that bottom side of the ice. it was cool to see the canucks warming up, and look at all of these new faces. they had two really REALLY short players, and i can only remember one of the names, reid. he honestly couldn't have been more than 5'5'' and looked very young. he did try really hard when he played, though!!

and of course since we were so close to the glass, we got to jump and act crazy when there was a great hit in front of us. there were several, and one 1/2 one attempted by cheech. it was a partial cheech-check...hahahahahah!! but it's so odd to see the angry faces, knowing someone's going to get hit about one foot in front of you and not flinch when it happens. i didn't kiss the glass when he skated by...i was a good girl. i did give him several shoutouts and a few, "horrays!!" :)

there was a hat trick by milan, and i wasn't wearing a hat, so i had nothing to throw. there weren't too many thrown on the ice, and i wasn't about to throw my new pink one on the ice just for shits and giggles. saaaawwwwwrrry!! the other goal that night was scored by cheech, horray!!, so of course i was happy. the only part i was a little bummed about was that they stopped playing, "rock and roll pt. 2" by gary glitter for each goal scored. they played something else that you couldn't figure out what it was, but the signs all said, "hey!" and hella people were confused. i read that they are trying out new songs and seeing what people like. i still think gary glitter should be played because i'll always associate that with a sharkies goal.

so yeah, that was my first sharkies game of this season (albeit pre-season) but it was totally worth paying a butt-load for front row seats. i'll have to do it again maybe later in the season or next year since it does put a bit of a damper in your pocket. :) but yes, fun was had and the overall experience was a big, "HORRAY!!" :)

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark (i'll follow you into the dark, death cab for cutie)

quick update with me while i have a minute here at work!! my silly wrists are sooo sore from scooping and chomping up ice cream at coldstone the other night. some of the ice cream was easy to scoop, and some was super tough and totally frozen!! i was volunteering for the local elementary school and of course had no idea how to make any of those "creations" things!! i had fun though. pretty much all the orders for pints and other stuff to go came through me so i was the scoopin queen. yeeeee-haw. oh wait, i guess that's what a scoopin cowgirl would say. horray!! :)

seeing this made me so mad that i didn't even read the whole article. i don't care what you are for or against, but do not disrupt traffic!! even if you're for glitter, unicorn giggles, and hearts, go complain to someone who isn't!! i wasn't involved in this, but you better believe i would be TICKED off if i had. go make bush late for something...not a bunch of liberals. way to think that out.

on a final and fun note, I'M GOING TO THE SHARKS GAME TONIGHT!!!! not only am i so fucking excited for the season starting up, but i have tickets to my favorite and second favorite teams!! AND...i'm sitting in the first row. i wish it was for a playoff game instead cause there would be more hitting and checking, but i'm still gonna pound on the glass!! and leave lipgloss marks from making out all over it when cheechoo skates by. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

it has begun...



the madness of WoW has finally reached my compy!! ahhhhhhhh...make it stop!!!

much thanks (i think!!) to bean for getting me setup, ready to go, and helping me pass level one. omgz, soooo much geeky excitment. i don't know what do to with myself!!

as everyone knows, i am a packers fan. i get a lot of crap for it, especially since people assume it's only because i want to make out with brett favre. hey, he's not hard on the eyes, but he's got other things i enjoy about him too!! i promise!!

i was mainly a packers fan because ryan longwell was on the team. when he was traded to the vikings a few months ago, i was in denial for a bit. i've yet to watch any minnesota games (really, they're the rivals of the packers!!) but i still cheer for my boy, longwell!!

now i don't claim to know the whole story of why he left the packers. maybe he hated it there, maybe his contract expired, maybe someone wanted a new kicker there. i honestly don't know. if it was someone just sort of trading to get him out of there, i hope you have nightmares about this:



oh, and green bay lost by a touchdown yesterday?? too bad you didn't have good ol' number eight throwin for ya.

and, on a slightly related note, i just want to point out that brett favre is number 4!!! everytime i wear my longwell jersey, someone makes a stupid comment about favre. you are the loser for not knowing!! just like the guy at noah's who argued with me about cal losing last weekend. don't argue with me cause you're not going to win!! muahahahahahahah. oh, okay. i'm all done!! *giggles!!*

Shake your money maker
Like somebody's bout to pay ya
Don't worry about them haters
Keep your nose up in the air

You know I got it
If you wanna come get it
Stand next to this money
Like - hey hey

Shake, shake, shake your money maker
Like you were shaking it for some paper
It took your momma 9 months to make ya
Might as well shake what your momma gave ya
You, you lookin good in them jeans
I bet you'd look even better with me in between (money maker, ludacris feat. pharrel)

what a fun song for humpday. i loooove ludacris, and i will shake my money maker for him anytime!! hahahahah!! well, i'll shake it cause he has tight beats and fun lyrics.

i woke up this morning thinking someone was spooning me and playing with my hair. as i opened my eyes, i swear someone whispered, "good morning, sunshine" and as i turned over, of course nobody was there. gah, i hate when dreams are better than real life!! at least it put me in a fantastic mood for hump day. woohoo!!

first off, HA-HA to the redskins. so sorry you lost last night. thanks to ryan longwell for the late kick!! sort of makes up for that 51 yard nightmare earlier, huh?? i'll always root for you, numba 8...even if you end up on oakland. horray!!

on the subject of sports, i'd like to bring you another round of What Rules Jeannette Would Change If She Were In Charge!!!

okay, so i started writing a bit, and it all started sounding familiar. see my previous rant on 1.22.06 for round one. :)

sort of an add-on to the "i'm sorry notes" rule is if you get a horrible penalty, you're out for the game. no facemasks!! if you do that, you're done for the night. now i know there are incidental times where your hand sort of gets pushed in the helmet, and i'm not talking about that. i'm talking about the times when someone grabs it and brings you down. that is so lame and i don't want to see you any more for that game. also, if you headbutt anyone with your helmet, go hit the showers, kid. and, for the "i'm sorry notes" if you don't write a nice note, you won't be allowed back in the game. it has to be approved by me FIRST. bahahahahahaha!!

my other addition to MY rules is that i HATE how in the nfl a receiver will make an amazing catch, BUT his feet never touch the ground because someone pushes him out. that should not be called a fair catch. it should be fair that a player can push him out of bounds!! HELLO, you're all big boys in the nfl now. get your damn feet in or it's not a catch. or, have your qb throw it further down the field so you're able to run after you grab it/run out of bounds because time is wearing down. damn, i hate this rule!!

that's it with my sports rant, now time for my other rant. i'm sure many of you have seen that stupid commercial that starts with mr. cheesy mc cheeserson saying, "i'm thiiiiinking of a number..." and it's for freecreditreport.com. they tell you that you can get a free credit report if you log into your site. what's in the small print, of course, is the fact that you'll have to sign up for some shit to get your report. so is it free?? NO!! this is such a pet peeve of mine!!

how can you claim something is free, yet still be charging for it?? it's similar with those quick infomercials that state you have free shipping, but there's a $10.95 handling fee. holy crap, the person that "handles" your package must be a millionaire!! i don't understand how businesses can get away with it because it seems so sneaky. of course, i bet they don't care since most americans are stupid and can't be bothered reading the fine print. i just don't like how in some cases it's too small to read or it doesn't tell you that you have to sign up for something else. i'm not speaking from any personal experiences, but seeing crap like that just bugs me. i guess i wish i had thought about making tons of money off of slow people. grrrrrrrr!! ;)

Today, we gather to be reassured that God hears the lamenting and
bitter weeping of Mother America because so many of her children are
no more. Let us now seek that assurance in prayer for the healing of
our grief stricken hearts, for the souls and sacred memory of those
who have been lost. Let us also pray for divine wisdom as our leaders
consider the necessary actions for national security, wisdom of the
grace of God that as we act, we not become the evil we deplore.
-Rev. Nathan Baxter, Dean of Washington National Cathedral

driving to work this morning, i was listening to the radio which i normally don't do because i don't like the talkie-talk of morning shows and the tons of commercials. for some reason, i turned on 94.9 to get some crazy booty-shakin' song playing to get me ready for my week. instead, it was a tribute to 9/11.

i thought to myself, "oh, all right. i'll listen to juuuust a bit." i've been purposely not watching the news during the last few days, not listening to the radio, and trying not to read too many news sites because of the 9/11 overload. i think it's wonderful that so many people want to honor and remember the spirit of those lives lost, but there are millions of tributes and it's all people talk about. i get very overwhelmed with the hoopla, and want to deal with it in my own way. and silly me turns on the radio this morning...

dear lord, i have never heard such a sadder sound in my life. apparently i was listening to a walkie-talkie/radio feed from a woman firefighter/emt to her dispatcher. all of a sudden you could hear yelling and debris falling as she was speaking to him. he had no idea what was going on, and is trying to get her to give her location. between him frantically trying to get her back on the line and yelling at people to stay off that frequency, you can hear her moan as she tries to let him know where she is. it was horrible to hear this whole conversation play out, knowing what the outcome would be.

please take a moment to click here and remember those whose lives were lost 5 years ago.

i will be praying today for peace, leadership, grace, justice, and for those whose lives were lost. i hope you will join me.

after a two year absence, i got to see dave matthews band perform!! 0mgz w00h00, etc...hee hee!!

i think i've seen dmb every time they've come through norcal with the silly exception of last summer. stupid lair...grumble grumble. hee hee!! yeah, so i'm not like dmb superfans who have been to 40 shows, but enough of a fan that i can enjoy them once a year!!

dave totally turns me into someone else when he performs, and i find that to be just hilarious. he paints this amazing picture in my head of the perfect guy as he's singing and i just want to jump him. you know, to talk and stuff. ;)

his arms were covered by a sweatshirt last night, so i can't comment on how hot they made me, but every other part of him does. the passion that comes from within as he really gets into a song, those funny eyebrows moving back and forth, the way he looks into the crowd as if you are the only one there, his voice...wow. i need to write a book about this. let's just say if i found a man who could speak about love the way dave writes about it...i'd be a happy woman.

i took kae with me and i'm glad we did because we totally rocked out and were about to kick some booty when some dumb 17 year old showed up next to us. they were so annoying, but luckily they must have taken a tranquilizer because they mellowed out. NO DISTRACTIONS WHILE DAVE IS PLAYING, MMMMKAY??

so yes, i had the time of my life last night listening to dave and co. just rock the shoreline and i'll be dreaming sweet dreams of them until they return. horray!!

i am the distant star
burning brightly light years away.
all you can distinguish is a faint twinkle
because you're looking directly at me.
it's only when you glance away will you finally notice
how much i shine.

Once there was a way
to get back homeward
Once there was a way
to get back home
Sleep pretty darlin'
Do not cry,
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden Slumbers fill your eyes.
Smiles await you when you rise

Sleep pretty darlin'
Do not cry,
And I will sing a lullabye (golden slumbers, ben folds five)

one thing that's great about losing weight is that you have to buy new clothes. when your jeans that used to be almost too tight on you can be pulled off with the button on, it's time to go shopping. oh lord, am i going to have fun today!!

If I should stay
Well, I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, and yet I know
That I'll think of you each step of my way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I have, and all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
cause we both know that I'm not
What you need (i will always love you, dolly parton)

it's incredibly insane for me to think that a year ago i was planning my trip to canada, finishing up the lair, and ready to really start my life with bean. here i am a year later, back in the bay, and almost out on my own. it's amazing to see how fast a year flies by. sigh.

i didn't watch the emmys on sunday, but from what i heard, there was a skit about the tv show LOST where conan was in a plane, it crashed, and acted out some scenes from the show.

then, you have people who take things a bit too seriously. yes, i understand there was a plane crash and people died that same morning. BUT, the sketch was for a tv show, and was not making fun of random plane crashes in general.

do you think those same people are offended by skits on SNL that are making fun of saddam or osama?? heaven forbid that we're allowed to laugh at anything that could be taken completely out of context. "so a man walks into a bar..." "wait, wait, stop the joke. i have a friend who's in a wheelchair. he can't walk." where do you draw the line?? it's not a dead baby joke for crying out loud. if there was ever a line, that could be it. :)

Now you can sell your soul
But you can't buy it back
I've spent my whole life
Working to give you everything you like

Now I wish you were here
So we could walk and talk
In the soft rain, in the soft rain
Now all that left of us
Is a picture sitting in a frame (picture in a frame, ben harper)

classic friday night: vanilla gelato & sex and the city. perfecto. :)

Rene: What are you doing? You promised me breakfast.
Brodie: Breakfast, shmreakfast. Look at the score, for Christ's sake. It's only the second period and I'm up 12 to 2. Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford, "the Whale," they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime.

silly and fun quiz time. i seriously think i've done the last one before. oooooh well. :)

You Are Most Like Charlotte!

You are the ultimate romantic idealist You've been hurt before, but that hasn't caused you to give up on love. If anything, your resolve to fall in love is stronger than ever. And it's this feminine optimism that men find most appealing about you. Romantic prediction: That guy you are seeing (or crushing on)? Could be very serious - if you play your cards right!

Which Sex and the City Vixen Are You?

You Are a Plain Ole Cup of Joe

But don't think plain - instead think, uncomplicated You're a low maintenance kind of girl... who can hang with the guys Down to earth, easy going, and fun! Yup, that's you: the friend everyone invites. And your dependable too. Both for a laugh and a sympathetic ear.

What Kind of Coffee Are You?

You Belong in Rome

You're a big city girl with a small town heart Which is why you're attracted to the romance of Rome Strolling down picture perfect streets, cappuccino in hand And gorgeous Italian men - could life get any better?

What City Do You Belong In?

what would YOU say for a cuppicake??

How come every time you come around
My London London Bridge wanna go down
Like London London London wanna go down
Like London London London be going down like

Drinks start pouring
My speech start slurring
Everybody start looking real good (Oh, shit)

The Grey Goose got your girl feeling loose
Now I wishing that I didn't wear these shoes (I hate heels) (london bridge, fergie)

last night i went to the giants game with my auntie and had such a great time!! it was "irish heritage" night which meant they had guinness. hahahahaha, and random irish dancing girls, irish music between innings...stuff like that. oh, we did get greenish giants hats with clovers on them. sweet!!

i had never sat in the third deck at that stadium before. wow, i sound like a total snob, but i guess i've just been hooked up with sweet tickets before. the view of the bay was incredible and i loved having the sun set BEHIND us so we didn't have to worry about not being able to see anything for an inning or two!!

so lowry threw a shutout, bonds hit number 725 (booooo....hahahahahah!!), and i ate garlic fries and drank guinness!! all in all, it was a great night. they randomly showed steve young inbetween one of the innings, and most of the crowd gave him a standing ovation. it was really cute.

since it was irish heritage night or whatever, all these girlies were decked out in their ireland gear. i had my london irish/guinness rugby jersey on, so i guess i was part of that crowd too, but wow. some girls had these tiny TINY irish shirts on, and i'm just thinking, "first, you're like 300 pounds too big to be wearing that. please wear a bigger size!! and second...you're irish??" okaaaaay!! hahahahah. sorry, i don't want to sound totally rude, but it was like all these women had bought kids shirts or something. i guess i didn't get the memo. darn!!

i got home a little later than i thought i would, and still had stanky dragon breath after brushing my teefies for several minutes, but i had a great time!! i tend to like baseball more when i'm not following at super closely. i think it's because the season is too long and the games too slow for my taste. you just gotta work around it a bit to make it fun times. :)

I wish we could live forever
Then melt into the sun
Melt into the sun
Time is gonna change you
Once it gets you on the run
Gets you on the run

There will be
There will be
There will be a light
There will be a light
There will be
There will be
There will be a light
There will be a light (there will be a light, ben harper)

wow, yesterday was such a great day!! it started with me doing a little "retail therapy" at magpie. that's the new lavendar bay, and man, is it dangerous!! thank goodness it's 30 miles away, and not 2!! i got so many fun girlie things like new lotions, candles, beautiful smelling french soaps, some pretty bangles, and a really cute set of dessert plates/coffee mugs. i want to drink coffee and eat yummy desserts all day cause they're so adorable!!

after that, it was time to see damien marley and ben harper!! aaron came to pick me up and i was so stoked that he wanted to drive. horray!! it's really nice having someone else drive, especially in a brand new car with super cool gps stuff!!

we grabbed some yummy hot dogs at top dog (obvi, we're in berkeley!!) and made our way to the greek. i was remembering that the last time i saw ben harper there i wasn't totally impressed. there were some good songs and fun moments, but it wasn't the best performance. luckily, ben must have remembered, because he put on a fantastic show.

damien marley opened and holy shit, he sounds just like his dad!! there was a great energy the whole time he performed and i honestly loved him a lot more than i thought i would. there was this crazy flag man who waved a flag and sort of marched/danced for the WHOLE hour damien performed. it was totally insane and that guy must have arms of steel. so random. also, i totally want to be one of his backup singers/dancers. those gals GOT DOWN and looked like they were having a great time.

and, there was so much pot, more than i've ever seen or smelled at a concert. trust me, i've been to several at the greek, and a million dave matthews band concerts, so i know my shit. i think aaron and i were the only ones not lighting up. of course everyone went crazy when ben harper sang, "burn one down." damn, i think people thought there was a revolution going on!! hee hee!!

ben harper started with radioactive (crazy beatbox!!) and sang "steal my kisses." that was my second favorite performance of the night. i couldn't believe this guy's beatbox talent, and it was such a fun colaboration with that song. my fav performance was when ben sang "there will be a light" and i almost cried. if he sang "my beloved one" after that, i would have bawled. i secretly thanked him for not singing my favorite song. this concert was soooo much better than when i saw him with jack johnson several years ago!!

the concert was longer than i thought, but we thankfully had enough time to drive to fenton's before they closed. i decided not to do a black and tan, and had a sando and an ice cream soda instead to. die. for. yum yum and yum. i got coke flavor with vanilla ice cream, and they made it perfectly. all the soda stuff in the glass and all the ice cream OVER the glass, not getting in the soda. damn, i know this sounds crazy, but that vanilla ice cream was sooooo heavenly. just vanilla, but it was perfect.

i am just super happy that we got there about 15 minutes before they closed. they actually sat some people down a few minutes before midnight and said, "if the rest of your party shows up after midnight, we will lock the doors on them." and they totally did!! yikes!! but yes, heaven!! the whole day was a fun-fest and i had a great time.

today is cleaning up my resume/making a coversheet, laundry, cleaning up day. time to clean up all the messes i made throughout the week and great ready for another possibly hot one here in the bay. horray for pools!! oh, and fresh fruit!! thankfully the farmer's market here still has incredible produce. sweet peaches, nectarines, raspberries, strawberries, cherries and much more!! it sounds like fruit salad extravaganza night!! :)

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry (sweet child 'o mine, guns and roses)

i never thought i'd say this, but kelly clarkson might be cooler than me.

oh, this looks soooo yummy!!



you can totally get this for me. i've been a good girl, i swear!! ;)

p.s. i like how it looks like it's hovering over the cuppicakes. awesome!!

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland (baba o'riley, the who)

so first things first. cuppicakes are some of my favorite things in the world. i love to share them with friends and pass the love on!! here's a link to an article on them, and where to find them in the bay!! (although nobody makes funfetti ones. maybe i should open up my own shop!!)

there's a blog dedicated to the love of cuppicakes!! horray!! you should check it out, because the pictures will make you lick your compy screen. i know!! hee hee!! i think i'm even going to add them to my friends!! horray!!

when my parents were in seattle for a bit, i guess some reporter asked them a few questions. my mommy isn't in there, but she said she had the most to say. so there you go. ;)

and finally, i've added another link to my friends. i don't know who the person is, but the link is ttmygh. it's a pretty clever blog, great writing, and it keeps me entertained.

hugs for all!!

Battered and torn
still I can see the light
tattered and worn
but I must kneel to fight

Friend of mine
what can't you spare
I know some times
it gets cold in there

When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone

Hope is alive
while we're apart
only tears
speak for my heart
break the chains
that hold us down
and we shall be
forever bound

When I'm tired and weary
and a long way from home
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone

Beauty that
we left behind
how shall we
tomorrow find

Set aside
our weight in sin
so that we
can live again

When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone (i shall not walk alone, ben harper)

wow, i almost forgot that i had tickets to see ben harper this saturday!! good thing i went digging through my desk yesterday. sooooo pumped!!

in random news, i think i have a tapeworm in my belly. hahahahhaahah. well, maybe not. i had just gone out for almost every lunch and dinner last week and was so bummed that i hadn't exercised or eaten well at all. i decided that i was going to hop on the scale and whatever number popped up, that number was going to be written HUGE on a piece of paper to motivate me to get back down to a better number. however, i was 10 pounds lighter than before, so i'm not sure how that comes into play. i do want to lose juuuuuuust a bit more, and it looks like i won't have to sacrifice much. horray!!

Wake up
Don't tell me it's just a dream
'Cause when I've had enough
You'll hear me say,
Now don't you try to rain on my

Perfect day,
Nothing's standing in my way

On this perfect day,
Nothing can go wrong (perfect day, hoku)

as i woke up yesterday, i decided today was going to be my fun day. i wasn't going to do any chores or anything that wasn't fun in my book. yeah, a little selfish, but i hadn't had a whole day of fun in a bit, and have been repressing stuff at work, so this was much needed!!

i started off with a shower with new shampoo, conditioner, and soap. girls, you might be the only ones with me, but new stuff makes you feel sooooo good and happy!! i was totally singing the whole time. after all that work, i was totally craving chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, oj, and coffee. random, because i normally eat breakfast like 2 days out of the year. i decided that erik and i needed to take a trip to the pancake house, so we did!!

when i got home, i hung out by the pool which was so great since the weather was perfect on saturday. warm enough where you want to cool off, but not that annoying hot. and juuuuust a bit of a cool bay breeze from time to time. after a while, i hopped back inside to start reading some silly magazines (cosmo, vogue, glamour, etc) and eat strawberries. yeah, it felt great to catch up on reading silly things and stuff my face with one of my favorite fruits. that's how i roll. ;)

then, i watched some x-games and talked to my best friend online for a bit. is it odd that my ex is one of my best friends?? sometimes i don't know how to act because i've never been so blessed to have a relationship like this before. he's so fun and energizes me a lot. (a lot is two words!!)

i was going to put a dvd in, but 10 things i hate about you was on tv, so i watched that and then grabbed taco bell. am i a cheap date, or what?? after, erik and i saw talladega nights. oh my freakin gosh. if you like will ferrell in any small way, you HAVE to see this movie. we were cracking up at EVERY line and people in the theatre were pretty quiet!! so many great lines and fantastic acting to everyone in the movie. i really want to see it again!!

so yeah, that was my pefect day, and i can pretty much die happy now!! on friday, i got to hang out with kassey and michelle at rudy's can't fail cafe in emerville. i strongly recommend the shakin jesse to start your meal. it's a shake with chocolate, espresso and guinness. it's heaven and i really wanted to order 5 of them. *giggles* so yeah, we hung out and talked for several hours and it was so much fun. i love that we can go so long without seeing each other and pick up like there was no lapse in time. although i do want to remedy that and hang out more often. woohoo!! so many fun memories of us hanging out in davis after hours, doing and talking about things i don't want to mention here. i had forgotten that part of my experience up there for a bit, and glad i got to reclaim it.

well, that's it for now. i hope you all enjoyed your weekend and had fun and perfect days, too!! :)

I'm bossy
I'm the first girl to scream on a track
I switched up the beat of the drum
That's right I brought all the boys to the yard
And that's right, I'm the one that's tattooed on his arm
I'm bossy
I'm the bitch y'all love to hate
I'm the chick that's raisin' stakes
I told young stunna he should switch to bass
I'm back with an 808 cause I'm bossy (i'm bossy, kelis)

what is so silly about the earthquake last night is that according to this, i shouldn't have felt anything at all. freakmont is below oakland, just sort of below where the map ends at the bottom. i SWEAR the shaking was pretty nice when i felt it!!

well, it's thursday and feels like friday which is just so wrong in my book. this week has been so long and frustrating work-wise that i really really don't want to go in tomorrow. luckily i'll be hanging out with kass and michelle (FINALLY!!) tomorrow night. and, the rents will be out of town for a bit on a cruise to alaska. it will be super quiet here and i'm looking forward to laid back nights, watching dvds and being a bum. i hope that i don't have to work late next week. i really want to just work a week of ONLY 8 hour days each day. big siiiiiiiigh.

okay, and just to clarify: when a guy is hitting on you and tells you he has a tongue ring, is that like an open invitation for him to lick your coochie-coochie?? (i saw charro on tv the other day, forgive me!!) but honestly...wtf is up with that?? you've at least got to be sexy like jay in clerks 2 when he says, ""oh, we totally do" in front of the spray painted side of the restaurant. best. line. ever. :)

shakey shakey

yes, i just felt that earthquake!! and it felt like it was right under me. 4.4 in santa rosa, but that's what if felt like here!!

okay, back to my movie...

giggles giggles and GIGGLES!! :P

juuuuuust got off of work, and thinking about dancing around in my room to my iPod. except that i have to have my earplugs plugged in cause i have no speakers!!

does anyone have any comments/thoughts about cool iPod speakers?? i know how the bose ones sound (and how much they are) but i'm wondering if any there are any other rockin ones out there that i'm missing out on.

oh, and if you're feeling generous, you can buy me the bose ones. :)

There goes my baby
She knows how to Rock'n Roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat (crazy little thing called love, queen)

when i get a free moment (oh, in a few days), remind me to grab my hockey stick and beat up the person who thought up this brilliant move. are you kidding??

grrrrrrrrr. in other news, i heard the above song playing on my way to work today. i <3 queen before coffee!! it gets me goin' quicker, too!! :)

i really want someone to help me pick out a few cool things to get from here. i feel a bit overwhelmed and have a thousand ideas. heeeeeelp!!

MIMI
It's out again
Sorry about your friend
Would you light my candle?

ROGER
Well

MIMI
Yeah. Ow!

ROGER
Oh, the wax - it's

MIMI
Dripping! I like it - between my

ROGER
Fingers, I figured ...
Oh, well. Goodnight ...
It blew out again? (would you light my candle, RENT)

i feel so lucky to have one of the most amazing cities in the world so close to me!! i love that i can take bart to sf for the night and have a fun night on the town with my girls. i'm not sure i could ever be hardcore enough to live there like almost any lair girl i know, but it's still got a special place in my heart.

slez, abbo, robyn, and i all went to see RENT last night. HORRAY!! we started with drinks and dinner at bambuddha. wow...this is in suuuuch a sketch part of town. slez and i were lookin all cute (and almost totally matching!!) and walking up a few blocks from civic center, so of course everyone's got to ask us if we're single, how we're doing, etc. i'm so glad that we walked together; safety in numbers!! and, i had some pretty sharp heels on if anyone got a bit out of line. i keeed, i keeeed!!

drinks were just okay at bambuddha, but that's fine because we got them for free. yeah, suckas!! abbo was smart enough to find out that a few places near golden gate theatre were giving free drinks if you showed your tix. it seriously took half of the charge off of the bill. loved it!! dinner was pretty good, nothing to die for, though. the plates feed several people, so we all just ordered one thing and split everything.

after dinner, we made the trek over to the theatre. let me tell you, we probably should have gone back down to market and walked over because we were in an even weirder part of town. there's 4 young, hot mamas, and too many sketchy people coming up to us. luckily the one person that was talking and walking with us the most sort of gave up when we were walking by a police station. HORRAY!!

we got to the thearte in one piece, saw kj, met an overbearing usher, and sat down. i'm so happy that slez got the tix for us. we were about 6 rows back, and it was soooo close!! RENT of course was amazing!! i had seen it about 6 or 7 years ago in the front row, and totally enjoyed seeing the actors spit on each other as they sang. hee hee!! we were close enough this time to enjoy that and see their sweat. it was hard not to sing to all the songs and do a little dance for my favorite. i hate just sitting straight in my chair and not moving!! i guess i'll have to get the dvd to do a little dance party next time.

after that, it was back to bart, and back home!! i got a new cuddly blanket, and it's finally cool enough here to sleep with it, so you know i got some sweet dreams. :) today looks like a chill day for me. which i'm very VERY happy about since i'm most likely working a few crazy insane days this week. boohoo to that!! i gotta just relax today and put that as far away from my mind as i can. well, enjoy your weekends...whatever you're doing!! :)

thank god canada just got this. you don't want to be the last country without "internet." although you might want to brush up on your "emoticons." lolz.

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world? (chasing cars, snow patrol)

soooo bouncy because erik got me a blue slurpee and i'm trying to download music to update my iPod. but it's not working!! that's okay...i can still bounce, right?? hee hee!! :)

you all need to get excited...


thanks to trent for the fabulous pic.

ahhhhhh, he was at comiccon!! snakes on a muthereffin samuel!!

this movie needs to come out TODAY!!

Love, love, love, what more is there?
'Cause we need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There're bad times
But that's okay
Just look for love in it (pig, dave matthews band)

i am such a sucker for love.

<3 <3 <3

siiiiiiiiiigh.

You been saying all the right things all night long
But I can't seem to get you over here to help take this off
Baby, can't you see?
How these clothes are fitting on me
And the heat coming from this beat
I'm about to blow
I don't think you know

I'm telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh)
But you keep fronting (Uh)
Saying what you going to do to me (Uh huh)
But I ain't seen nothing (Uh) (buttons, pussycat dolls)

i found this commercial a few weeks ago online, but i've never seen it on tv. i must have missed it when i was in canadia-land. love love love it!! go bears!!

Gummy Bears

You may be smooshie and taste unnatural, but you're so darn cute.

What Kind of Candy Are You?

see that, ULTRA sweet and innocent!! giggles!!

You Are Root Beer

Ultra sweet and innocent, you have a subtle complexity behind your sugary front. Children love you, but so do high end snobs... when you're brewed right. Your best soda compatibility match: Dr. Pepper Stay away from: Diet Coke

What Kind of Soda Are You?

You Are a Visionary Soul

You are a curious person, always in a state of awareness. Connected to all things spiritual, you are very connected to your soul. You are wise and bright: able to reason and be reasonable. Occasionally, you get quite depressed and have dark feelings. You have great vision and can be very insightful. In fact, you are often profound in a way that surprises yourself. Visionary souls like you can be the best type of friend. You are intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and a good healer. Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

very true, i am a ginormous ball of energy!! watch out!!

Your Birthdate: May 3

You are more than a big ball of energy - you are a big ball of hyper. You are always on the go, but you don't have a type a personality. Instead of channeling your energy into work, you instead go for fun and adventure. Witty and verbal, you can have an interesting conversation with anyone. Your strength: Your larger than life imagination Your weakness: You tend to be pretty scattered Your power color: Lime Your power symbol: Lightening bolt Your power month: March

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Ain't no other man can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
You're the kinda guy a girl finds in a blue moon
You got soul, you got class, you got style, you're bad ass
Ain't no other man, it's true
Ain't no other man but you (ain't no other man, christina aquilera)

hee hee...honey, i'm sorry to use christina aquilera, but she just saaaang it on the radio and i thought of you. :)

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Probably (crazy, gnarls barkley)

wow, it's been effin hot in the bay these last few days. doesn't help that i've had allergies pretty bad and cramps. it makes me super cranky-pants!! and yes, only *i* may call myself that. if you do, you'll enjoy a painful death. muahahahahahah!!

so, hypothetical question, but where in the heck is my prince charming?? it's so hot here and i really want someone to take care of me. i don't care if i sound whiney, but i want someone to get me a slurpee...draw a cool bath...just do nice things for me right now. i don't complain about much, but i feel miserable and would love it if someone actually cared. grrrrrrrrrr.

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've know
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all? (delicate, damien rice)

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. (philippians 4:13)
why oh why am i always forgetting this? someone tattoo it on my hand or something.

well, happy humpday to everyone participating today. i sort of wanted to do an update with me, but since i'm not sure about a few things, it's just gonna have to wait!! right now, i am super excited for this weekend. dinner at my house with the roomies on friday, and pretty much nothing else planned for saturday and sunday. i'm going to go through old photos and update a few scrapbooks and junk like that cause it makes me happy. this weekend will be one juuuuuust for me. WOOHOO!!

Don't know why Tori came by
I could see by the look in her eyes
Tori'd been driving around the town for awhile
Playing with the thought of leaving

Don't know why Tori just smiled
Mentioned something 'bout how you were right
Must have been hard to see through the tears she was hiding
She said "I might not be seeing him soon
I got a few things I've been waiting to do"

Hey, Tori came by, Tori came by tonight
Hey, Tori came by, she says to say goodbye

Looked outside at the car in the drive
And the suitcase on the backseat inside
Sure it's so, she can't look out behind at the road
She said "I might not be seein him soon
I've got a few things I've been waiting to do"

Hey, Tori came by, Tori came by tonight
Hey, Tori came by, she says to say goodbye

Don't look down, she seemed alright
You might be asking where is Tori tonight
Somewhere out on the highway
I'm sure that she's fine (victoria, john mayer)

the only thing i can find to be happy about right now is the 102 degree heat and my smoothie in hand. i don't mean to sound so dramatic, but that's about it right now.

We loved each other tenderly
Like we loved all lovers
Then when day you left me
Ever since I've been desperate
I see you everywhere in the sky
I see you everywhere on the earth
You are my joy and my sun
My nights, my days, my clear dawns

You are everywhere because you are in my heart
You are everywhere because you are my happiness
Everything that is around me
Even life does not represent you
Sometimes I dream that I am in your arms
And you speak softly in my ear
You tell me things that make me close my eyes
And I find that marvellous

Maybe one day you will return
I know that my heart waits for you
You can not forget
The past days we spent together
My eyes never stop searching for you
Listen well, my heart calls you
We can love each other again
And you'll see life would be beautiful (tu es partout, edith piaf)

because i had a free moment at work...

Your Stripper Song Is

Like a Virgin by Madonna "Like a virgin, ooh, ooh Like a virgin Feels so good inside When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me" No virgin-ness implied. Not at all.

What Song Should You Strip To?

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer
inside of me, threatening the life they belong to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe (breathe, anna nalick)

i love being a girl. i will always dream about beautiful things.

question of the day: what kind of girl drinks fat tire??

for some reason, people always seem to ask me if i've ever had it and proceed to tell me that it would be my perfect beer. it was definately the choice of last summer's thank yous at our staff meeting which always made me very happy. but random guys at a bar, even old friends tell me that they associate that beer with me. i do drink it occasionaly and love it, but now i wonder, what kind of girl drinks fat tire??

You've got such a pretty smile.
It's a shame the things you hide behind it.
Let em go give it up for a while...
Let em free and we will both go find it.

I know there's no where you can hide it.
I know the feeling of alone.
I know that you do not feel invited,
But come back, come back in from the cold. (i know, jude)

i totally forgot to mention that at the lair there were a few afternoon thunderstorms!! i was a bit afraid because the last time they were that loud, lightning hit like 50' away from where i was...outside!! eeeeeekkk!! i get so excited about thunder when i'm inside and safe; it's such a fun turn of events when you're outside. i don't think it was any closer than 15 miles from us, but it sure did get my heart racin!! i secretly loved it!! <3

on a slightly more serious note, please keep my friends chris and jordan in your thoughts and prayers. chris is getting a new kidney from jordan and that's happening today!! i'm so happy for chris finally getting one and for jordan for donating his!!! thanks everyone...and enjoy your friday!! :)

i love that i can see fireworks from my room. horray to the fools for shooting off illegal ones!!

although the view is nothing like this...

All through the night
I'll be watching over you
All through the night
I'll be standing over you
And through the bad dreams
I'll be right there, baby

Holding your hand,
telling you everything's gonna be all right
And when you cry
I'll be right there
Telling you you were never anything less than beautiful
So don't you worry,
I'm your Angel standing by (angel standing by, jewel)

happy 4th of july to everyone!! i hope you enjoy your day off, stuff your bellies, and enjoy some spectacular fireworks!!

all right. i wanted to do a little day by day update of the lair, but it all went by in a flash and i have no idea what happened when. so here's a little synopsis of what i remember. :)

i pulled in the blue office and it was so great to see everyone!! it felt like i hadn't left at all!! oski's party was that night, and it must have been a really hot day because i was hot in my leotard as poison ivy!! (i still can't believe i wore that to a party) usually it's a cold weekend during third week. i had such a fun time meeting rookies at the party (who knew me from previous summers....eeeek!!) and people thinking my hair was really orange. i thought it was the most obvious wig!! obvi!! but yes...had a great time!!

for the rest of the week, i slept in every day for breakfast with the exception of one day. i did take my aunt beth to the serene bean and had the world's best white mocha. i read a ton and swam a bunch in the beginning of the week and did get up to therapy once with tons of staff, and sketchy ex. it was the first time for megan and erik, and i think they totally loved it. boohoo to the gypos who were screaming and singing during the sunset. efffff you!!

i did get to see the new superman movie with the new retail team on tuesday night. it was such a great movie, and i liked how i hadn't seen any previews for it so i had no expectations. there was a great story, superb cast and no cheesy parts. i liked it so much, i saw it again on saturday!!

this was definately the week of butterflies, too!! they were everywhere!! they were flying around no matter where you were. they had little purple ones down by the gold waaaay-outfield in that extended field. i was so inspired by them that i actually painted a tile with flutter-byes on it!! it didn't come out that great, but it was sort of the theme for the week.

thursday night is when most of the sketchy-ex showed up. it was so fun to see everyone again. i love sitting in the staff area drinking and catching up with old friends. friday was gary at the berry, and i swear that doesn't usually happen third week. who knows. thanks to gary, i had several adult beverages and then saw tons more ex-staffers. i don't remember talking to people for a long time, but i did see roomie and that totally made my night!!

i'm so happy i stayed saturday night because the blue directors party was tons of fun. i wasn't sure how it would be when i had my first shot of vodka and almost booted. it was a little too ghetto and pretty much tasted like hairspray. i am the queen of vodka, too!! i guess just not with the cheap shit. anyway, i drank and danced the night away and had a fantastic time looking at the stars on the way back. :)

sunday i got to sleep in (horray!!) and hang out again with retail...hopefully not bugging them too much. i want to help out as much as i can, and i hope i wasn't too much of a burden. i rode back with caitlin, and we had the best car ride on the way down. i love that we can talk about sketchy stuff and share lair memories and just giggle together. it sounds like she's gonna have the best summer!!

so yeah, that's my very condensed and not totally detail oriented update. just a few fun memories!! :)

Nobody else here baby no one else here to blame
No one to point the finger...
It's just you and me and the rain
Nobody made you do it, no one put words in your mouth
Nobody here taking orders when love took a train heading south
It's the blind leading the blond
It's the stuff the stuff of country songs

If God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright? (if god will send his angels, u2)

so i feel like i need to do this gi-normous lair update but there was so much that went on that i have no idea where to begin. all i should say is that i got everything crossed off my list except for a massage. well, wait...i did get one of those and i didn't have to pay. hee hee!!

yeah...maybe i'll get back to a lovely update when i'm not totally swamped with catching up with workie-work. :)

and for all those interested...
