much better

i dunno what i'm going to write about. i'm just in such a good mood, i want to share with everyone. i think this makes 3 postings for the week...takin it back to the old days when i had something to say practically everyday. ha! don't get used to it. next week is jam packed with awesome activities.

steve and i are going to see Jimmy Eat World @ UCA on wednesday. weeee! i used to work with steve at the evil conglomerate and luckily he and i became good friends. we like good music (gee...i think that's how i make friends with everyone...) and well he's just fun to hang out with, so i'm looking forward to it. mike jokingly says that i'm not allowed to go with steve because steve would make a move on me. he's cool, but yeah...i don't think so.

tuesday there's a concert at work with Chevelle. i'm hoping i can sneak in and catch a few songs, but it's hard since it's just me and jamie there on tuesdays. chevelle will be at memphis next weekend, so it's not a major loss.

did i mention i love spring/summer b/c of all the good shows?

this weekend i'm working. wee! 12 hrs on saturday (to make up for me skipping out on tuesday) and the usual 8 on sunday. but i'm off monday, weds, saturday and sunday, so i'm good. and it's a weekend with jason, so it won't be that bad at all. he and i are cool and we always have plenty to talk about.

softball game is at 10 tomorrow against channel 7. we are going to get massacred. i'm sure it will be fun nonetheless.

it's amazing how a little sex can get me all talkative, huh?

there were supposed to be some storms coming through last night so i told mike i was staying at his house. he teased me about being a wuss first. he was planning on going out with the guys, so he gave me a key and i went home to take a shower and grab a pillow and stuff. i didn't expect him to be there when i got back, but he was. decided he'd rather hang out with me (*gasp*) than go out with the guys (for like the 9038429034789th time this month). so yeah we stayed up pretty late watching wrasslin and old cartoons and finally crashed out at like 5am. i just got home like 30 mins ago. we slept through our usual friday lunch, which was alright with me b/c i didn't take any clothes over there to wear today.

he cracks me up because he's this tough guy to everyone that we know, but when it's just me and him laying in bed he's the biggest sap. i love it. and he is SO incredibly sexy. even with his pooch of a stomach. i love his arms and his chest and curling up with him. how on earth did i go so long without this? i cannot wait for next weekend when i get to do it all over again...just this time in some hotel room in memphis. hehe

ok the grizzlies have 2 home playoff games during memphis in may next weekend. traffic is going to be obnoxious! i would love to see the Suns play (mmmm...steve nash), but i've waited so long to go to a concert that i'm not passing this up. plus, at beale st. they have those awesome Hurricanes....mmmmmmm......mouth waters just thinking about it. it better not rain! you know it will though...always does.

alright i need to eat and take my drugs and get ready for work. have a beautiful weekend! it should be nice!

damn allergies

it's weird that i wrote that last post and i was all cheerful and then i woke up not 10 hours later sick. ugh. i would give one of my middle toes to go back to feeling like i felt saturday. :) now i'm stuck with a nasty sinus infection and taking antibiotics and allegra that makes me feel weird. i sleep in like hourly increments and i have no idea why b/c i feel like i could sleep for a week! oh well. hopefully the antibiotics will knock this thing out and i can go back to feeling normal by the weekend.

i'm going to get my hair cut today! woo! it's been so long! my mom said yesterday i have to go back to getting blonde highlights instead of the dark stuff i did at thanksgiving. and mike says i can't get it cut too short...just the ends. ha! i never knew i had so many people who were concerned with my hair color and length. i'm probably going more blonde just b/c it's summer now and that's what i do. as for length, i'm losing at least an inch because i think it's just getting too long. i dunno why guys like such long hair anyway...anyone? anyone? if you had to put up with it everyday, i think you'd hate it as much as i do!

what else what else what else. i dunno! job hunt sucks. mike is being good to me since i'm sick. still need some extra cash to pay bills so i'm selling more junk on ebay (starchiica0 is the seller).

i watched I <3 Huckabees last night. that movie is crazy weird. it's not bad. but i dunno. really existentialist. i love jason schwartzmann movies though because he takes on such weird roles. mark wahlberg steals the show though. he's CRAZY! so yeah, if you want a weird movie that leaves you scratching your head...get that.

it's going to take me a while to get used to seeing that new guy in the pope outfit. i'm one of those kids that only knew JP2 as pope. and why do they elect a 78 yr old man to be pope? do you not look at the life expectancy chart and say "hmm...this guy's got maybe 10 years left in him..." wouldn't you want a younger person (ok say 60....can't get too young or the guy doesn't know enough) that would last longer? was JP2 an exception to the rule? just a few questions from a non-catholic.

i'll leave you with that. haha.

party on the patio!

I’m having to write this in ms word because something is wrong with the blogger servers tonight, so that’s why things are spelled correctly and the capitalization is mostly right. I thought I’d throw in that disclaimer so you don’t think I’ve gone all prim and proper on you ;)

Today was really fun, and not only because I was off from work (can’t you hear the angels singing?). we had a softball game this morning at 8:00 which was really rough, and we lost again, but this time only by 2 instead of 9 like last week (ouch!). for a losing effort, it was crazy fun. I got a double off of a miserable ground ball that I swear didn’t go past the pitcher. I don’t run that fast, it’s just that the team we were playing had trouble throwing the ball to the basemen or they tried to get someone else out first or something. Hell, honestly I have no idea how I got a double out of that. My second hit was awesome over the shortstop’s head….but it only resulted in a single. Oh well. I was the last batter of the game and I swear I was so dehydrated or low sugared or something I was shaking and I was ready for the game to be over with so I just hit a grounder to short and took my out in stride. I scored a run! Someone from the other team called me a slow runner. That kinda hurt my feelings, but it’s the truth. I can run for a long time at a slow pace! Marathons are in my future, not sprints.

Ross came over today too! And was such a lovely day we cruised around town (and into some crazy huge house new neighborhood off chenal @ Cantrell) and hit the mall and best buy and chilled out on the patio at on the border for a good two hours. Perfect night for margaritas outside! He brought me music like always, but I haven’t had a chance to listen to it. He and I talk about how it’s cool that we’ve been able to stay friends over the years even though we don’t see each other but like every few months. Since we both blog, it’s easier to keep up with him nowadays, but it’s just not the same unless we’re hanging out. If nothing else, I think ross will be the one that lives next door to me as we grow older. Although I think he’ll leave me if I keep teasing him about the color guard most valuable spinner award. He’s definitely the creative type…can’t even finish a thought before going onto something else. Maybe that’s why we get along so well, it’s like we’re spastic sometimes. I just feel like he gets me, and I get him. And we’ll live happily ever after.

I’m listening to Snow Patrol right now and it’s really good. Download the song called “chocolate.” I also highly recommend the newly released Jay-Z documentary “Fade to Black” which is his Madison square garden concert edited with the making of ‘the black album.’ You see like all the producers (pharrell, kanye, just blaze, rick rubin, timbaland) and Jay picking beats and rapping and the concert is just freakin awesome. I’ve watched this dvd I swear 4 times already…I’m obsessed. I can’t even get to my weekly television shows because I’m so itching to watch the concert. When that movie came out in theaters like right before Christmas, I was so hoping I could go see it. But now that I’ve watched it, I don’t think I could have sat in a theater seat. It makes me wanna dance!

Mikey went to Houston with the boys for some beach party thing. He keeps text messaging me about how awesome it is (apparently kanye and some other hip hop people I like are there). I decided when he left on Friday that I wasn’t going to bother him this weekend but he keeps bothering me. Maybe I’m missed? I was mad at him Thursday for deciding to go with them since I’m off this weekend. I really wanted to do something with him since the only time we have together is like the one hour blocks during the week. I need more time than that. It’s okay though. If he was here, then I wouldn’t have gotten to spend an awesome afternoon with ross and I probably would have ignored the other people who’ve called me this week. I wish I had time to see everyone! Maybe the next weekend I’m off, I can hook up with other people.

I’m back to not wanting to break up with him. That’s good right? I don’t think I ever really want to break up, I just get impatient and frustrated and that’s my solution to solving whatever problem there is. How grown up of me! That’s definitely my dad coming out there. He was always ready to take the quick out, no matter how painful. The end of this week was really good and since he’s trying to communicate with me while he’s on the beach with the boys (and who knows how many topless women), I feel a lot better about everything. I think he’s somehow managing to teach me patience. Forcing me is more like it. Rar…..i’m one of those sappy girls now. I think I might, in fact, love him *sniff*

Two weeks until beale street! Woo! have a great rainy day filled week! i'm going to sleep.
