"he's just not that into you if he's not asking you out." it sucks to be a girl.

i was oh so brave and not only went to church, but to a party after church as well. i astound me. i had a really, really good time. it felt like i had been going there forever...and for that...i am truly grateful. it's weird to come home and talk about people becky doesn't know, and go places that becky's not going. besides her having boyfriends and a fiance (at the same time! don't tell jib!), and me going to yosemite and getting into tons and tons of school debt, for 4 years, we have had almost the exact same life. it had to happen sometime.

i have 5ish days...and then...i'm leaving on a jetplane...but i do know when i will be back again...and i sure don't hate to go. you can kiss me if you want...but a smile would probably be more appropriate...tell me that you'll wait for me...hold me tight and let me go when i ask you to. those are the lyrics to my "i'm going to cali for 8 days" song.

maybe the beach air will clear my head.

i'm sorry i didn't see you wave hot rudy's guy!

June 25, 2005

anyone want to go to urban with me? how about big lots? how about goodwill?

no one?

i guess i'll go alone. shopping alone sucks.

there's no one to talk to...no one to tell you if you should spend the $14.99 on that one thing you may or may not use in your new apartment...no one to tell you if you should get the bigger size or the smaller size...and worst of all, you may have to walk through nasty grandma fart...and have no one to laugh about it with...so it looks like it was you when you turn around laughing...and that makes you laugh more...all by yourself.

see...that's just no fun.

welp, here i go. at least i've got my checkcard to keep me company.

oprah's book club book is as i lay dying. have i ever mentioned that i LOVE that book. this might be the first oprah book that i would actually read.

i tried to read angela's ashes once. not because it was an oprah book, but because i thought it would be good. i didn't finish it.

i tried to read she's come undone...and i didn't like it. i found it disturbing.

but as i lay dying...goodness...i love that book.

everyone get a copy right now.

i just took a cold shower. feel sorry for me.

June 18, 2005

i'm trying a new church tomorrow. alone. i'm nervous. nervous like the first day of school nervous. i've been here almost a year and i still haven't found a place that i can call home. or friends like you guys. i don't know what i'm looking for...but so far i haven't found whatever it is. hopefully tomorrow will bring me one step closer to figuring it all out.

June 16, 2005

have i ever mentioned that i love to watch t.b.n. movies? cause i do.

and i also love boost and ensure.

apparently, i am a 65 year old woman in this 24 year old body. good to know. next thing you know, i'm going to be mall walking and waking up at 4 in the morning on my own.

i'm not sure if this is an appropriate post to post directly after the maggots, but i won second place in the cake competition this past weekend with this beauty right here.

today, becky and i made a dreadful realization. we realized...maybe a little too late that walking our trash down the three flights of stairs and across the parking lot maybe isn't such a bad idea.

the maggots Posted by Hello

when we originally discovered the maggots, we screamed and jumped around...like people do in the movies when the guy the girl wanted to go to prom with actually asks her out...but from being sicked out and not excited. then we both manned up to our filth and bagged the maggots in a new bag of their own, and carried those fools down three flights of stairs and across the parking lot. we were so proud. becky only gagged once...and i only screamed like three times.

as you can see, our porch is eternally scarred by our laziness.

i'm sorry porch.

i am so an adult now.

when given the opportunity to shower or take a nap...i chose the shower. granted my hair hadn't been washed since saturday and it would most likely be some sort of civil injustice for me not to, i like to think that it is because i am such a grown up.

and while i was in the shower, i also had a grand realization. though i love becky very much, and have very much enjoyed living with her for the past...well...pretty much 24 years, there are some very specific things i will NOT miss about her. here are the advantages to not living with becky.

1) for years i have been a dove girl, pressured to use caress.
2) becky does not know how to flush the toilet, and it just so happens to be one of my pet peeves. granted, i always leave my dirty clothes on the bathroom floor, and she hates that.
3) i can leave my dirty clothes on the bathroom floor.
4) no cleaning guilt. if i don't feel like cleaning, i don't have to clean, and i won't even feel bad about it!
5) i can sleep in past 10 if i want to...or if my body will let me.
6) i can order pizza hut pan pizza. none of this hand-tossed compromise crap.

yeah, i could be nice and list the things that i will miss about her...but that would be way too mushy for this here blog.

mushy don't cut it around here.

10:29 am. june 7th, 2005.

them: "welcome to chick-fil-a. can i take your order?"
me: "are you still serving breakfast?"
them: "no ma'am, we're not."
me: i look at the sign. serving breakfast until 10:30. i look at my clock. 10:29.

i think i might have cried a little.

i think our seemingly asexual forks and spoons have actually been mysteriously reproducing. somehow, we keep losing forks and spoons, most likely due to old age and bad health care coverage, and ending up with massive amounts of knives. would it be so wrong for the limited number of spoons and forks that we have remaining, to actually mate with their own species and therefore reproduce a fork from a fork, and a spoon from a spoon? "a bird and a fish may love each other, but where will they build a home?" that home has been in the far left drawer. i blame myself for the over population of knives, but this has gone on long enough. tonight, i am drawing the line. spoons on the left and forks on the right.

let's see how many knives we'll have now.

i am now officially as many days old as there are hours in a day. that's right...you all* missed my birthday. jerks.

i will accept apologies in the forms of 20's.

and in other news, my cake that i so braggingly posted pictures of is going to be in a cake show. maybe i'll win worst place. oh...and the food network is coming to my school on monday. that's right kids, i'm gonna be a star. and a different kind of star then the one that i was that day at cilantro's in my wallpaper skirt. you can read more about that in my archives from february 20th of last year.

oh...and kelsey knows my husband so he tells me. i've been wondering where that fool is.

*all meaning everyone but pearce and matty. and meg and kels get half credit for telling me happy birthday after i told them that it was.
