9:54 pm - a little more calm today.........
|
........but definitely feeling like a new computer might be in order. after several dozen restarts the past few days, and four system restores... fingers crossed.
well i'm mostly posting to my myspace blog these days (myspace.com/mamaneedsabeer) but i just found this old britney spears drinking game and it cracked me up. so here it is!
1. Drink everytime you hear the violin go "WEHEEEEEEEE!" 2. Gulp the first time Britney starts singing 3. Chug the during the entire electric guitar-strumming build up before the first Chorus 4. Drink everytime you hear the word "Toxic" 5. Gulp everytime you hear the Spanish/Shakira-sounding guitar strumming 6. Two big gulps when the Violin part plays backward. 7. Chug during the entire "screaming"/"AAAAAH-AAAAAAAH-AHH AHHHHH" part 8. Chug when Britney *speaks* "I think I'm ready now".
p.s. chopsticks' new favorite sleeping spot is where my pillow is. annoying? not as much as you'd think! my little fuzz-butt. moooooooosh!

miss me? i have not had internet on a regular basis since november. sometimes (most times actually) i'm used to it but sometimes it sucks. my life is all over the map right now. last friday i accepted a new job working for cara (remember CARA??) at a company near dayton. i am going to be commuting, i'm going to be an operations team lead again, AND i am going to be making $8000 more per year. i'm thrilled, to say the least. in other news, i have fallen madly in love with a girl (we'll call her angie d.) who is 90% straight. it is completely disastrous but we have SO much fun together. we have only been hanging out for about 2 months but...yeah, i can't even get into this now, i don't have enough time. also - ryan is moving to ATL. i'm very very VERY sad.
going to see sound tribe sector 9 next friday w/ angie and whitney. yay
that's all i have time for now. more soon hopefully!
ps. i am ri-goddam-diculously hooked on myspace lately. i blame alison, she makes me laugh with her comments. this is me, come play: http://www.myspace.com/1129917

my computer was on the fritz for ~ five weeks and i just checked my email for the first time a couple days ago and i highly doubt that i will be reading thru lj archives for the past five weeks to see what i missed. not with 200-posts-a-day from the damn ipod group (but yet i can't bring myself to leave the group).....anyway so it's not that i don't love you, it's just that i'm so lazy.
and, chopsticks says "hello!"
sugarbear is in the midst of fixing my computer and i should be back with you when i go back to the 'bus on sunday. peace out

9:54 pm - so........stuff

man, i don't even feel like updating but i should. but i want all my pals to know i have been reading your lives. just too lazy and/or (sometimes) depressed to comment. i've been moody lately, not sure why. i'm not used to being at the bottom rung at work, and i'm not used to not knowing everyone and joking around with supervisors/mgmt.. i feel low and patronized at work. it makes me want to punch people. i know it will get better but it sucks now, it really does.
to make up for the suckiness, i have been partying with ryan a lot, and in the process - have met a lot of awesome people. yes i have been spending too much $$ and yes i have not been sleeping nearly as well as i should be but i need something to take my mind off of the day's crap moments.
chopsticks is also helping me keep sane. we took a roadtrip to petco. she LOVES roadtrips and petco, she always gets so much attention. for some reason, i have taken to calling her "chay" all the time now. i think it's because i'm used to saying chase at work so somehow that got translated into chopsticks' nickname? i'm not really sure.
today was my first "real" day out of training and i worked for 12 hours, 15 minutes. not my idea of fun times but it will look nice once i get paid.
my birthday party was fun. lots of free shots and debauchery. xtina got blitzed, which was SO much fun. shaffer passed out in her car at some point. vinny and i ended up at brian boru's and mac's - where i saw turckey! after getting back to my house, vinny tripped over my alarm clock and fell on his face. shortly after that he accidentally let chopsticks out (3am) and ryan and i went drunkenly run/stumbling after her. ashlie finally found her pooping on someone's porch. after that, the night couldn't get any better.
ok...now i'm going to watch i love the 80s 3-D. the segment about black/hispanic barbie in the 1980 segment is my FAVORITE. "oh, white people....y'all try!"

i need to post this cute chopsticks story for posterity. last saturday we went to the vet and she had to have two final booster shots. the first one was fine, she didn't make a sound. but when she saw the second needle coming at her, she got squirmy and whiny so it took a second to get her still and when the needle finally pricked her - *plop* - a little poop came out! hahaha, it was so terrific. i was like, well there's your stool sample. ahh good times.

in 3 hours and 19 minutes i will turn 27 - ack! everything since i turned 21 is a blur. but 26 kinda sucked... so i'm looking forward to this upcoming year. we'll see!
friday i am celebrating with friends and booze at union. i'm excited, looks like there will be a good turnout! vinny is coming, who i haven't seen in 5 months, and lish who i haven't seen in 4. whoopitydoooo. then saturday i'm going home to see seinfeld with my fam. yay!
oh yeah, a shout out to sheeky for the fabulous bday card and generous gift of confetti + $1. who knew the carton of friends would ever make it to a greeting card? lurve ya sheeky!
alright, it's 10pm. and that can only mean one thing. it's time for chopsticks and i to catch some zzz's. we're old ladies, what can we say? :)

6:30 pm - vindication!
|
so... the company that fired me?
right, well - they were just bought out by another company and effective 12/31, every department (excluding sales) is being let go.
so to recap, everyone responsible for firing me is going to be jobless in less than 3 months. not to be childish but.....
ha ha ha!!!!!!!!
(p.s. but i really do feel bad for rita and some of my other friends that are still there. but i'd rather laugh at the misfortune of the people that i hate right now.)

7:07 pm - ugh
|
i absolutely hate it when people punk out on me at the last minute. seriously - if you think you might not want to go out, tell me in advance so i have a chance to make plans with someone else. that way i'm not sitting in my apartment at 7pm on a saturday night, on my computer and eating soup. ARGH!
and for some reason, after two weeks, chopsticks decided it would be fun to start peeing in the kitchen. double ARGH!
anyway. went out to via colori earlier which was really cool, i'm excited to go back tomorrow and see how the pictures have developed. one guy was drawing jimi hendrix and it was.....awesome. so i guess i'm waiting now for paul to get back from a showing of the corpse bride and then we're gonna go see turck's band at park st. tavern. blah. i'm going to start drinking now and get wasted. bye

some news:
i got a puppy - 7.5 month old shiba inu who looks like a cross between a miniature husky and a fox. pointy ears, big dark eyes, curlie cue tail. her name is chopsticks. but i think she thinks her name is "good girl." i've been training her on a gentle leader which she hated at first but she is being sooo sociable now with the other dogs and people at goodale. the first day she was all skittish and suspicious but now she's getting the hang of it. i've been walking her 3x per day so i'm getting to meet some cool "dog folks" - plus ashlie is always out there with bogey. the only not fun part is waking up at 7am everyday to hear the whining. but i'll get used to it.
also - i got a job! woohoo! just got the offer today, from JP morgan chase. it's the huge building over by easton.. 3000 employees! i will be working in the retail financial services dept, dealing with mortgages and whatnot. i start monday, which is awesome. pay is only a little bit less than i was making at my last job, with much more opportunities to advance. plus i'll be closer to home and have MUCH better benefits. and i actually had to cancel THREE second interviews. everything kinda hit all at once, but i'm very excited about this.
tonight we are all going to celebrate at union and tomorrow i can spend the whole day with chopsticks and not have to put her in the crate. she's chewing the shit out of a rawhide right now. awwwwwwwwr puppy!
p.s. sorry that i haven't been around at night to talk, sheeky - having and training this puppy is VERY taxing. once she's my "bitch" i'll be around more. :)

well, shane is gone and the weekend of drunken debauchery is over. i'm in detox now, chugging water like no other.
saw where bob denver died. first the hurricane, now gilligan's dead.....holly was right, the world IS coming to an end.
job searching sucks. i'm cashing out my 401k (no lectures PLEASE, i really honestly do not have a choice) and uhhh yeah....two interviews tomorrow - chase and time warner. let's see what becomes of me.
i think katie and dawn are singing tonight at ruby tuesday. but i'm pretty tired and just had a four day binge. don't know if i can do anymore. oh who are we kidding? i'll probably go.
i should clean my apartment...but napping sounds like more fun, doesn't it? night.

11:39 pm - flames...flames...coming off my skin
|
i'm soooooooo sunburnt. but it will probably be my last sunburn of the year so i'm trying to embrace it. but i look like a damned lobster. oh well
had a relaxing weekend at home. friday night i did laundry and slept like a ROCKSTAR. yesterday was margie's wedding up at the lake. it was the best wedding/reception EVER. the wedding party came in on a pontun boat and the dock was the "aisle" and they walked down to "girls just wanna have fun." everyone was in hawaiian attire (leis and all).. the ceremony was outside and lasted all of 10 minutes. the 7+ hour reception was just nuts. they had at least five boats tied up to their dock and everyone was speeding around and getting soaked...booze EVERYWHERE, dancing on the lawn, full bar and catered lunch under this enormous tent...lots of oldies/classic rock, singing, toasting, laughing, hugging, just a great great time. it was everything i've come to expect from 20+ years of knowing margie. i talked a lot with her twin sister lynn who i was always closer to. she is the one whose husband died last year... we cried a little bit about that and i told her about melissa and how she died last year so it got kind of emotional for awhile. but lynnie is great, i hope to see her more often.
got home around 9pm and went over to bridget's to play texas hold em. by about 1am i had a pretty bad headache from drinking all day and being dehydrated so i came home and passed out. woke up to my awesome cell phone ring tone ("turkey in the straw"...hehe) and it was katie, inviting herself over to swim. we were outside from about 11:30a-3p which is why i'm so fried. but katie is leaving for nyc soon...in about a month and a half to be exact. i am going to miss her so ridiculously i can't even put it into words. she is opening for ember swift on 9/18 in toledo and it might be the last time i get to see her perform for a long, long time and i'm not sure how i'll handle it. she is so talented and smart and understanding and mature, with the hugest heart of almost anyone i know. ahhh, ny is so lucky! sons of bitches
alright well i just got done watching "christine," full house, seinfeld, celebrity fit club and surreal life so my brain is just as fried as my skin and i'm ready for bed. loooong week of work ahead. i feel like i say that a lot. oh well, probably because it's true.
oh, and i'm trying to kick my caffeine habit. it's bad...like REALLY bad. so it's going to be hard but i really need to do it.
current mood: hot current music: i can't help myself - the four tops
