Today was a pretty good day. I managed to make it almost the entire day without doing any work. I was bored as piss but I was impressed with how good I got at dicking around. It sure helped that my boss was extra chatty. It was one of my friends' birthdays at work today. 30th birthday. I made her a two disc compilation. It turned out really well and she seems to like it a lot, so that made me happy. I've known her for a little over a year now and we've never hung out outside of work before, but this weekend she invited me to hang out with her friends before the OSU game. So I'm going to go I think. I've never drank at 10am before but we'll just see how that goes. Anyway, back to my day... someone's car got broken into at our office. It's completely ridiculous. My office is all windows in the front, overlooking the parking lot. And her car was parked fairly close to the building. I can't believe someone had the balls to do that. But I do know that I'll have to start taking the face off my CD player at work, the one place I thought my stuff was actually safe. So that caused a big commotion, enough of a commotion to get me from doing any work for the last 45 minutes of work. Then I stopped by this new restaurant that was giving away free wraps today. But apparently it was so successful that they ran out of food. So this cute boy came up to my car and gave me a free food voucher. And he was British. And very charming. He wasn't actually all that cute but he was British and he made me laugh. And that, my friends, is about all it takes. Tomorrow I'm skipping out of work at 11 and heading to Newark to see John Kerry. That should be interesting. Newark seems really republican to me, so I don't know how it will go. I know that some band Oval Opus is playing there and I don't have high hopes for them. But I'll let you know. | | Saturday, August 21st, 2004 | | 1:25 am |
Work was absolute hell this week. Why is it that I either don't have anything to do or I'm so busy I don't have time to stop and catch my breath? I seriously had to pee for an hour today before I could go to the bathroom. I was getting so many phone calls that I would get voicemails while I was answering other voicemails. It's nice to be needed, but I'm just not cut out for stress. My body does not like it. So I came home after work, ate some dinner, rented some movies and took a bubble bath. The horribly cliche "I've had a bad day so now I need so sit in a bathtub" bubble bath. I gotta say, it worked. Then I watched movies with my hair in pigtails because I've found that having my hair in pigtails is a sure fire way to cheer myself up. The first wedding is tomorrow. Then they're all going to start dropping like flies. How long before I'm the token single friend? No no, not the cool single friend who has all the sex. I should work on being that friend though. I could use a hobby. | | Tuesday, August 17th, 2004 | | 9:29 pm |
Today was the due date of the first DVD that I rented at the library. When I left the apartment this morning, unusually tired and out of sorts, I forgot to grab the DVD (28 Days Later, if you're curious). At lunch, I was going to go to the grocery store and pick up a few things that I needed, by then having completely forgotten about the DVD. However, at the last minute, I decided to get my car washed instead and just go to the grocery store after work. On my way home that evening, as I was exiting the highway, I suddenly remembered the DVD. I thought about going to the store first, since it's right by my house, but then decided to get all my errand running done at once. I went home and my library card had come in the mail. I dawdled around a bit, grabbed the DVD, and went to the library. At first I was just going to drop it off and leave, but then I decided to get a movie. I wandered around and happened on Happenstance, one of those movies I've been meaning to get around to watching for some time. I checked it out and left the library. As I was driving away, I decided to take a more inconvenient way home, as I didn't really want to drive by his house. I had this silly thought that he'd be outside, see my car and think I was purposely driving by his house. So as I sat in the turn lane thinking that I had made a good decision and being content with my movie selection, I looked in the rear view mirror. In the next lane, two cars behind me, I saw a very familiar looking car. Yep it seemed that my short cut had indeed backfired, and if I had gone straight, I never would have seen him. But there he was, completely oblivious to me and the shades of red I turned when I realized who he was (why do I blush when I get surprised? Not embarrassed but surprised. I guess that's an issue for a later entry). So he drove past as I waited to be able to turn, and we both went out separate ways. Then I went home and watched a movie about fate and all the little seemingly insignificant choices we make daily that affect our lives. It's stuff like this that fucks with my head. Here he is screwing with me and he doesn't even have to work at it. After we both realized that we liked each other, way back when, we discussed the unusual circumstances surrounding our meeting. Here we were, having just met each other, and we realized that there was definitely something spooky going on. We both believed in fate, not coincidences, and even when things didn't work out, we held onto that thought. We both thought there was still some reason why we had met. He promised me that we would figure it out. But now, almost a year later, I have yet to figure out what that reason was. Surely it wasn't for him to make me sad over and over again. Surely it wasn't for us to be apart more than we were together. Surely it wasn't for him to move away before we ever figured out anything. But it's out of my hands now, and I'm OK with that. Somehow, I think he's the one who is at a loss. And I'm not the kind of person who thinks such things. What a difference a year can bring, eh? | | Sunday, August 15th, 2004 | | 10:41 pm |
Nothing seems to be going my way lately. Hopes were foolishly up. I should always know better. I should know by now to expect the worst case scenario. But I tend to forget. So I'm taken aback by things, that if I look back, are really not at all that shocking. You'd think I'd learn from my mistakes. Instead, I keep repeating them. And I don't know how to make it stop. | | Wednesday, August 11th, 2004 | | 9:07 pm |
I'm increasingly convinced that people at work don't like me. Not all of them, just the women. And not all of the women, but definitely the ring leaders. I don't even have any concrete evidence. I just get that feeling that I'm being talked about behind my back. Maybe I'm just paranoid. I can't help it that I'm different than all of them though. I don't go tanning, I'm not way too into my looks and what I wear. I'm quiet, not into small talk, and perfectly ok rolling into work half asleep with my hair in a pony tail. It probably doesn't help that I'm in this super annoyed mood lately. Everything and everyone is getting on my nerves. I'm cursing at drivers who drive too slow. I'm annoyed at how horrible this woman's hair is. DJs are pissing me off because they play way too much U2 and only shitty new Weezer songs. And this kid at work had the nerve to tell me that the music I listen to sucks. Where does this Collective Soul listening motherfucker get off telling me that Beck sucks? When did I get so crotchety? And more importantly, how do I make it stop? | | Monday, August 9th, 2004 | | 10:56 pm |
I'm back from hiatus. I got sick of writing, or ran out of things to write about, or whatever. I moved and, despite the fact that I live alone now, I tend to be keeping pretty busy. So I haven't had much time to actually write anything. But here I am with another half hearted attempt to get this thing going again. I'm terribly excited about a new movie on the Family Channel that will premier in September. Most of you will think that I'm just being stupid, but maybe the supremely cool of you will be as excited as me. It's called Pop Rocks (ok, the title is lame ass but hear me out). It's about this super straight laced dad whose daughter is going to college. What his family doesn't know is that, in the 80's, he was in a popular hair band. They wore makeup (imagine Kiss crossed with Twisted Sister). So in order to get some college money together, he reunites the band, with hilarious results. I don't think I need to tell you how awesome this movie is going to be. | | Saturday, May 29th, 2004 | | 10:36 pm |
Yeah so California was fantastic. It sort of made me realize how good life could be if I could get off my lazy ass, stop making excuses, and move away. So now I'm in a state of total apathy. Before the trip, I was excited to look for an apartment. Now it's hard to get myself to even think about getting a new place because that commits me to another year of Ohio. All excuses aside, what's really keeping me from moving to San Francisco is that I don't want to do it alone. Even though my brother is there and this trip made me realize that my brother and I can hang out together and have a lot of fun, I still wouldn't want to move out there alone. So I guess I'll give it another year and hopefully one of two things will happen: 1. someone will want to move away with me or 2. something or someone will come along and make me want to stick around. But we'll see how it goes. This is the same shit I was saying last year, but I hope I don't find myself in the same position five years from now. | | Thursday, May 27th, 2004 | | 2:18 pm |
My trip in a nutshell: yay, San Francisco! Boo, Ohio! More when I have more time/energy. | | Thursday, May 13th, 2004 | | 6:24 pm |
Saturday afternoon, I fell in love at the intersection of King and Olentangy. Wednesday evening, I declared my absolute exasperation with the entire male sex. I think I like the random boys I share glances with at stop lights more than the boys I spend countless nights actually talking to. The former don't have an opportunity to fuck with my head. If anyone knows of a nice, cute boy who won't suddenly decide he just wants to be me friend or who won't dick around for months and months, please send him my way. Because I've had enough of wanks. | | Sunday, May 2nd, 2004 | | 12:34 pm |
Well I just decided not to take this stupid test. I only have two and a half weeks until my test date and there is no way in hell I could ever pass it right now. I'm going to cancel my test and wait until the next testing window. I think that might not be until November but whatever. Then I can actually go through this stuff and study it and know it well enough to pass it. So now I don't have to study today. I think I'll go to the grocery store instead. Maybe watch a movie or clean my room. It will be great. Yay me! | | Thursday, April 29th, 2004 | | 9:00 pm |
I'm wearing a skirt. It's weird. What's even weirder is that I'm not wearing underwear. Yes, you all know that I'm not wearing underwear. I don't know how you feel about that, but I don't really care. | | Wednesday, April 28th, 2004 | | 5:49 pm |
Only in Ohio could I wake up to frost on my car and come home to 70 degree weather. Exciting news of the day: - I got my ticket to see Enon - My aunt is getting my plane tickets for San Francisco. Yeah baby. It's on. I'm going. To California. Maybe I'll never come back. Well I know I won't want to, that's for sure. | | Monday, April 26th, 2004 | | 7:25 pm |
Why is it that the only people who mysteriously pop into my life are the ones I want to go away? People need to learn to fuck off when I tell them to. Or at least when I want them to. New Jersey was fun. I'm super tired though. I guess I'm getting old. Staying up late and running around all day doesn't agree with me anymore. But anyway, I got to see a lot of rich snobby kids, did some dancing, got to be a DJ for a night, see some kids break dance, and do what Bri and I do best: screw with people on the internet. I'm drunk on your piss. | | Tuesday, April 20th, 2004 | | 7:43 pm |
I almost got mad at this guy for pulling out in front of me and forcing me to slam on my brakes. But then I noticed that he was dancing and I decided he was all right. In other news, I'm going to New Jersey on Thursday morning. I'm going to be on Bri's radio show. So you should listen to me. Maybe I'll give you a shout out. Maybe you can shake your ass to the booty music that I'm going to bust out. www.wprb.com, bitch. Princeton won't know what to do with me. | | Saturday, April 17th, 2004 | | 4:32 pm |
$80 at Kohl's. It's a good thing my rent is cheap and I make a decent amount of money, because I sure do like to buy things lately. | | Thursday, April 15th, 2004 | | 10:17 pm |
Sometimes my ability to throw random things into a pan and make them into yummy food amazes me. I got a submission in today for a woman who is a fortune teller. Apparently, she's also a clown and she has clown insurance. But her clown insurance will only cover her fortune telling operation if she wears her clown suit. And you thought insurance was boring. | | Wednesday, April 14th, 2004 | | 7:15 pm |
I've been in the pissiest worst mood for the past few days, so I decided not to write anything until now. Not even to recap my Saturday evening where I saw the love of my life, Alex Greenwald. Or discovered the love of my life should Alex fail, the guy from the Thrills (Conor, I think). Easter came and went, and as it went, in came my bad mood. I've been so terribly antisocial. I don't think I've spoken to anyone at work this week except my boss. And you can tell how much I matter to my coworkers - none of them have noticed or bothered to say anything to me, either. And well I'm still in the same shitty mood I guess, but it's more like just not wanting to talk to people. Typing isn't talking, so I can get away with it. I did learn important lessons this week. 1. My mother is no longer hip. She used to be with it, she used to know what was up. But all that changed when I was opening my Easter presents and found a shirt that said "Good Kitty" on one side and "Gone Bad" on the back. I think my heart broke a little. 2. I should not be allowed to go into Target alone. The impulse buying is getting out of control. I went in to buy tampons and tissues, and left the store having spent $68. Well I guess that's all I learned this week. But it's only Wednesday. | | Thursday, April 8th, 2004 | | 10:05 pm |
I like: - That commercial with the singing bunnies - George Huff (he's so cute) - The Rolling Stones' cover of "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" - Hearing "Toxic" while I'm at work - Little kid laugh - My pink sunglasses, even though I know they make me look like a tool - Boys - The sound my cat makes when she gets really hyper I dislike: - Adam from Average Joe for picking the skank ho - That damn hippy song that CD 101 insists on playing - Everything that the woman who sits next to me at work says, does or listens to - That new show "The Swan" - it was horribly depressing - Boys | | Sunday, April 4th, 2004 | | 10:32 pm |
OK, I don't care what anybody says: boys are just as frustrating and weird as girls are. Or maybe I only like boys who are incredibly hard to read. I think I'm done with all of them. |
