heyo

weird schedules at work killing me.

can't stay up. can't sleep in. so crazy.

we're already preparing for holidays and i . hate. it.

bleh.

on another note. Brothers & Sisters was sexyyy tonight. I was scared that Kevin and Scotty were going to break up because they can't have too many couples happy at once on that show. But they made up, so it's okay.

Am I still the only one watching this show???

I'm barely a sophomore right now. Why am I fantasizing so much about grad school?

I don't even know if I want to keep going after I get the degrees I'm pursuing right now, but I'm already thinking, which school do I want to try and go to?

idk, I think the idea of going to school, focusing on academic endeavors, NOT having a full time job, and just learning sounds so nice. Almost romantic even.

But really, me, a psychologist? Can you imagine?

Which is more ridiculous? Me being a grad student or the idea that in a few more years, I could be. . . not living in this town? Man, I'm a sophomore.

Anyway, this was on my mind today. I'm feeling a tad restless.

Did anyone ever find out why Andy Samberg wasn't on SNL this week? I can't find any news that explains where he was or anything, and I have a tendency to worry. :(

Psych fall finale

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 03:27:33 GMT

Okay, I haven't posted thoughts on the rest of the season, but I wanted to comment on a few things.

OKAY SHAWN, I LOVE YOU, BUT WHEN YOU ARE BEING CHASED BY A GUY IN A BLUE JUMPSUIT, DON'T SUDDENLY TRUST THE NEXT GUY YOU FIND WHO HAPPENS TO BE ALSO WEARING A BLUE JUMPSUIT.

But it was kind of cute when he kept asking the guy to call Carlton Lassiter. Awww, Shawn.

I like the interesting team ups in this episode too. Gus + Juliet and Henry + Lassie.

Lmao, mentalistspoilers.com. I love this show's writers sometimes. Instead of playing "find the pineapple" it should be "find the Mentalist reference" every week.

Also, I definitely prefer Shawn/Juliet to Shawn/Abigail.

Omg Lassiter car chase! GO TEAM!

LOL @ them yelling about Fast & Furious. And nobody wanting him to jump on their car.

Car surfing and shooting guns at the same time!? I can't handle this kind of action.

"Nice shooting, detective."
"Did you just call me detective?"
"No."

Aww, I really liked this episode. I think I missed the last couple of them, but out of the ones I HAVE seen, this is my favorite of the season.

On Hugh Hefner's twin girlfriends

Sister: Do they have matching tattoos? Yes, matching tramp stamps.
Me: Ew, omg. That's gross.
Sister: I mean, we're getting matching tattoos but not tramp stamps. . .
Me: And we're not completely identical, wear the same clothes, sleep in the same bed, and share the same old guy.
Sister: . . . Well, that'd be rad if we did.
Me: That'd be freaking awesome if we did, but we don't.

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:08:58 GMT

Aah, so excited for Where the Wild Things are. I actually asked for the 16th off work so I can go see it at midnight for SURE. Nothing will stop me.

Coworkers want me to go with them to see it. I told them that I was definitely going to go see it at midnight and would meet up with them if they went, but if they ended up going the next day, I might go with them a second time. BUT IF THIS MOVIE TURNS ME INTO A SOBBING WRECK, I DON'T WANT MY COWORKERS TO SEE ME THAT WAY.

Been listening to the soundtrack nonstop too.

doot doot doot

Even though my mother and I frequently bond over television, we have one difference that has put considerable strain on our relationship lately.

She is a Letterman fan. I am a Conan fan. What are we supposed to do, just get along? It's impossible. We're entirely different people.

And I'm not even kidding, we're downright mean about this. Our fights vary between Letterman beating Conan in ratings to Conan not being a womanizing douchebag like Letterman and so on.

I'd like to say this is the weirdest or most dysfunctional part of our relationship, but sadly, I'm sure it isn't.

I wanted to look for some Conan dvds from when he was on Late Night or something because I never watched him back then and she was acting like it would be a tragic mistake for me to do so. She told me to check the library first, even though that probably means I'll be racking up late fees anyway.

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 00:24:35 GMT

My mother and I are watching The Amazing Race. We sometimes kind of skip most of reality shows, but then randomly watch a couple episodes for no reason and try to figure out what's going on.

She kept saying, "Are these guys gay farmers? Are there gay farmers? I think they're gay farmers." Then we find out two minutes later that they're father and son and we're both like "eew." But there's another team that's two gay brothers, so our interest was piqued again.

Also, related to gays~ One of my coworkers and I were discussing politics and social issues and whatnot, and he used the term "straights" to describe heterosexuals. I guess it makes sense to say that because people say "gays" all the time, but I don't think I've ever heard it before. And it was weird for me to hear him say it because he's a chubby geek that loves bowling and football and he told me that he wanted a president to just make gay marriage nationally legal and shove it in all the religious nutjobs faces and I was like 8D LOVE.

you turned from me

I promised myself I would type up my thoughts on Glee this week.

So here.

How can I say how much I loved this episode? Because I loved it. A lot.

I have seriously not been able to get Single Ladies completely out of my head since.

But honestly, Kurt's storyline was the best. I'll admit it, last episode I was tearing up at the end. At the end of this episode, when they're at the football game and his dad is in the stands and his dad is played by Mike O'Malley who is just there like :| the entire time. AND THEN THE KICK AND SUDDENLY HIS DAD IS SCREAMING "THAT'S MY BOY THAT'S MY BOY" and everyone is freaking out. Omg, I fucking lost it, I was crying, man. And then when he came out to him afterwards and his dad is like, "I still love you just as much." omg omg omg.

I am such a sucker for gay stories with happy endings. Now get this fierce bitch a man already.

But we are learning so much else from this show. Such as. Women use pregnancy as hideous manipulation towards the men in their lives. And the men will fall for it. Every time.

Except, I understand why Finn would fall for it. I love him, but bb is not the brightest crayon in the box. That is starting to become the main source of his charm, honestly. Also, the fact that he experiences premature ejaculation every other episode. How many times has he randomly had an orgasm on this show?

Sometimes I just want to smack Will and Rachel though. Those kids need to get it together.

In summary: Yay, Glee! Glee kids hooray!

man

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:49:52 GMT

Shit, I've been having weird dreams lately.

Last night I had a dream that I had a bunch of wolf-dogs and dachshunds but they were all super aggressive and out of control. So I had to keep finding places in the house (which was definitely not my house but more of a combination of people's homes I know) where I could keep them or store fragile things that they would break. Seemed like as soon as I found a place where they could be controlled, they'd bust out again and be off breaking or attacking something. So I ended up talking to someone who I thought could help me, but while we're having a conversation about dachshunds or something, I kept gagging and having to pull a snake or worm out of my mouth before continuing the conversation. (Ugh, snake dreams are so obviously Freudian.)

This is after I've been haunted by a dream I had a few nights ago. I dreamed that one of my coworkers, a fat obnoxious jackass, proposed to me just completely randomly, when we haven't dated at all. I was disgusted by the idea of spending the rest of my life with him, but I accepted his proposal because I was afraid that no one else would ever love me. Like, this was seriously my concern the entire dream. He was off being fat and obnoxious and I was dealing with horrible in laws and trying to keep this cheap engagement ring on my finger that just didn't fit. And I just kept explaining to everyone in my life as they were so confused that he was probably the only person that would ever be attracted to me so I had to marry him.

So crazy.

WHAT IS THIS

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 02:46:27 GMT

TONIGHT I SET THE DVR TO RECORD HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER AND THE BIG BANG THEORY BECAUSE I HAD TO WORK.

BUT THEN MY MOTHER SET IT TO RECORD HOUSE FOR SOME RIDICULOUS REASON AND MY SISTER DIDN'T WANT TO WATCH THOSE WHILE IT WAS RECORDING, SO SHE JUST ERASED THE BIG BANG THEORY.

I AM IRATE. TELEVISION IS MY WHOLE LIFE RIGHT NOW.

plus CBS hates Hulu. Where can I watch this online?

(at least How I Met Your Mother was good.)

Also, conversation tonight between my mother, my sister, and I.
Sister: *looking at angel cards* She's gardening.
Me: Angels can garden?
Mother: Angels can do anything~
Me: Can they have anal sex?
Mother: IF THEY WANT TO.

come back with some money

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:07:53 GMT

I hate when people around me are sick. Because I haven't been sick in so long that I don't even understand it anymore. My sister is like coughing and losing her voice and crap and I'm like, "OMG SHUT UP."

Also, I think it's funny that Snoop Dogg rapped "bitch please" and I seriously thought that was what we women and gays used. Gosh.

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 23:19:01 GMT

I have mental problems.

I think I'd better take a shower and wash the stank off me.

i have dreams

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 04:08:50 GMT

I love my town. Went out tonight and was reminded how great people are. Fuck anyone who can't appreciate this place.

I feel like I complain a lot about idiots irl that are psychotic wingnuts, but honestly, when I'm around good people it's so easy to just forget about all of them and let it all kind of wash away. It's so easy to feel alone when your coworkers are complaining about Obama or coming up to you and telling you racist jokes, but when you're out with good people and you meet up with more good people because you're in a place with good people, it's kind of a reminder that there are more good people out there if you just know where to look.

So fuck anyone who update their facebook status with how much they hate the town that raised them and how bored they are. They're the problem, not this place.

okay so

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 02:41:59 GMT

On like the first day of one of my classes, we all had to introduce each other and say why we took the course and this one girl said she writes book reviews online and wanted to be better at interpreting literature. And the professor asks her where she blogs and she was like, "oh blah blah blah and LIVEJOURNAL."

And of course I perked up but kept it cool. But the more I thought about it the less I ever wanted to mention that we had something in common because this is a huge site and she could easily be on one of the freaky communities on here or be a total weirdo writing underage furry porn or something. I don't know. We have a lot of weirdos.

Things:

- Fantasy Factory was amazing tonight.

- My period is synced up with basically every woman I'm around on a regular basis.

- I'm really really really sad about Ted Kennedy. :(

- School is pleasant, but I'm already behind in reading.

okay so we did

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 04:30:35 GMT

Get tickets for Andrew Bird instead of stupid smelly Sufjan Stevens (just kidding, ss, ilu). But yeah, seriously. A beautiful show like that gives me something to look forward to soon. :)

School was all right today. I think I'm going to be happy this semester.

And I know people on campus? This is mind blowing but I seriously have people 3/4 classes that I know and I pass by a ton of kids I need to say hi to when they walk by and omg some days it just feels so good that this is my home.

Though first day awkwardness is always bad because I get so nervous introducing myself and you have to have those conversations that go like so what's your major
english and psychology
what do you want to do with that
. . . i don't know

It's like ffffffuuuu- every time I try to answer. Because I don't know what I want to do with my life! And I keep thinking that the longer I study my subjects, the easier that question will get to answer. But then the longer I'm in school and the more I realize how much I love learning. Like every day I fantasize about what it would be like to be studying horticulture or entomology or marine biology or fine arts or dentistry~ omg.

But I know it's silly to study everything and there's no way I'd be interested in dentistry after the first few days. So I have to learn to start making friends in other majors so I can talk to them when I get weird about my subjects.

But in my literature class, there's a bunch of weirdos that say "oh, i'm an english major with a focus in literature" and then everyone goes "ohhhh" because you can SO tell the difference between a lit focus and an education focus or something. Literature kids are freaks. And I think maybe that's what my concentration needs to be but I'm not sure. Maybe that's getting too specific for me.

I need to sleep on it all.

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:57:01 GMT

oh no

I start classes on Tuesday.

oh no oh no.

i know you know

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 02:06:27 GMT

watchin Psych. :D

Also. . . random thoughts from people our age. Stole from Tumblr somewhere.

1. -I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.

2. -More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.

3. -Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

4. -I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to have fun.” Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?

5. -Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you’re crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

6. -That’s enough, Nickelback.

7. -I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

8. -Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the “people you may know” feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?

9. -Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.

10. -There is a great need for sarcasm font.

11. -Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f was going on when I first saw it.

12. -I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the only one who really, really gets it.

13. -How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

14. -I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

15. - I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

16. -The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.

17. - A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.

18. - Was learning cursive really necessary?

19. - Lol has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”.

20. - I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

21. - Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.

22. - My brother’s Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, “Cuz we beat you, and you hate us.” Classy, bro.

23. - Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.

24. - How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?

25. - I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

26. - Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using ‘as in’ examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss’s last name to an attorney and said “Yes that’s G as in…(10 second lapse)..ummm…Goonies”

27. -What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?

28. - While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.

29. - MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

30. - Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

31. - I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.

32. -Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

33. - I would like to officially coin the phrase ‘catching the swine flu’ to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: “Dave caught the swine flu last night.”

34. -I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.

35. - Bad decisions make good stories.

36. -Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if I do!

37. - Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?

38. -If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.

39. -Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this shouldn’t be a problem….

40. -You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.

41. -Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.

42. -There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

43. -I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

44. - “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.

45. -I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There’s so much pressure. ‘I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?’

46. -I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?

47. - I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

48. -When I meet a new girl, I’m terrified of mentioning something she hasn’t already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.

49. -I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

50. -Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…

51. - As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

52. -Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

53. -It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

54. -I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

55. -Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn’t know what do to with it.

56. -Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time…

57. -My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?

58. -It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.

59. -I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

60. -I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

61. -I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.

62. -The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There’s nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner.

is this for me

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:28:39 GMT

Oh, wow. This is what I get for sleeping.

Wake up this morning and my Tumblarity shot up to 411. That's +224 from yesterday. And I think 2 days ago I was still just in double digits. I don't get it. Am I internet cool now?
