“The face-painter” such a classic. i love you Seinfeld show. Anywho.
Let’s see what new… well there’s this whole debacle of Matt needing to make it to Springfield for an interview with a company and he can’t rent a car because he doesn’t have a credit card and being under 25 makes it really hard to rent a car. So I don’t know what we’re going to do. But it’ll work out… just annoying that I might have to take the bus to work… I don’t even know what bus that is. Boo. And on top of it my good friend and manger Nik is going to Ireland tomorrow which means a different person is managing me, which means that I will have to work differently which is going to suck. I hate it when managers uck up my shi.
Turtles are adorable… more adorable than penguins.
I want to do something for spring break but I don’t know what is possible because of the money flow. If it was up to me we would go to somewhere sunny and bright and just get tans and drink a lot… but not like sad pathetic college drinking I mean like relaxing adult drinking. Who knows? Maybe we’ll just drive to Baja California. Oh man that would be great. Sigh.
Granola is delicious… more delicious than… shut up.
Also love my friends. Talked to Sara today on the phone, which was delightful. I wish all my friends lived practically in the same building like sophomore year. That was a fun year.
“oh no, to live… to live would be an awfully big adventure”

co-parents-in-law
So it’s been a while. And that’s okay. Just been working and talking and walking with peeps, you know how I do.
Tomorrow my parents come into town. Which I’m super excited for and I’ve been talking to them a lot recently because my dad is buying a hybrid SUV from a guy in Quincy, IL (hometown of matt senator). So my dad asked matt’s dad to go check it out and make sure it’s as cherry as the online ad says it is. So contact between the parents has been made! Matt’s parents and my parents. Yipes. And so my parents are visiting this weekend and then again next weekend they are going to fly into St. Louis and then rent a car to drive up to Quincy and buy the new car and then treat the senators to a meal and then drive back down the next day. So matt and I have to go to Quincy next weekend to proceed over this meeting. I know it will be fine I don’t know if Matt shares the same attitude. Well it’ll be interesting at least. Hehe.
I had a dream that I had a pet. It was a little hamster and it was so cute. But then I lost it. And I also lost a ladybug. And finally found it and figured out that it had been dead for a while before I lost it so then I didn’t feel so bad. Weird. Sorry- that just came to me.
Last night I probably had one too many long island iced teas. But on Tuesday was a friend’s birthday. And he got so drunk. I’ve never seen someone so gone. Falling down constantly. Poor thing. Well at least I bet he’s not going to drink like that any time soon.
I need to finish cleaning my apartment for the rents. Oh I also went through my closet and drawers and really got rid of like a whole trash bag full of clothes, giving it to Salvation Army or something.
I actually need to get this ball rolling….
p.s. vampire weekend= big hype band, but still good :-/

do i need to know how to do CPR?
I’ve decided that as long as I can stay mostly awake when I get home from work I have a good chance of actually getting to sleep that night. Last night I learned this. It was about 6:30 pm and I thought oh I can just take a little nap and wake up at like 7:30… my alarm goes off at 7:30 like I meant it to. But I don’t get up, I’m too tired and it’s too warm under the covers. So I just rolled over and thought I’ll wake up in like another 30 minutes… and guess what. Didn’t wake up until 9:30. I hate napping. I mean I love napping but I hate it. It’s awful it sucks up so much of your time but it’s so good. So when it was time to go to sleep I couldn’t, I just wasn’t tired. So I got up out of bed and surfed the net for a while. Washed my face and tried again. Ugh I also hate not being able to get to sleep. So today I’m making sure to not fall asleep in front of the TV, and also go working out should help.
Today I got my rain boots in the mail!!! Yay! They fit perfectly and I can’t wait to model them and show them off. They’re so cute.
So I wrote the above at around 6:30 pm and now I’m writing and it’s 11:30 pm. So let’s catch up-
I went to work out. And I saw the cutest old woman there. she had her hair coiffed in the typical old lady fashion. Her hair was all white. She was wearing I think- stockings under her exercise pants and then her puma shoes. And I only saw her while she was leaving so she was wearing her winter jacket which all I remember about had some kind of fur (faux I’m sure) around the collar. She just cracked me up and made me happy. Which is good considering there was an older man there who was probably in his 60’s but was trying to be a convincing mid 50 year-old. His beard and hair were dyed and I thought he was going to die on the stair stepper. He kept having to stop and breath and I was seriously considering: “What do I do if he collapses off that machine?” Anyways, always good to get the blood flowing.
Then I showered which is the highlight of my day pretty much. It’s when I can transform from sweaty, stinky to clean and fresh. Oh it’s so good and I even shaved my legs- they were getting a little Sara Laurino-y.
Also another thing I thought about is that tomorrow, Valentine’s Day, is the birthday of three people I know. And I can’t help but think how much it would suck to have your birthday on a holiday. Not that Valentine’s Day is a serious holiday but something people celebrate nonetheless. My good friend Jeff, for instance, his birthday is on Halloween. Which would get old I imagine. But Jeff seems to manage just fine. And I seem to recall a cousin of mine has a birthday on Christmas Eve. Ick. Thank god for those holidays that changes which the calendar. Like the third Thursday of whatever. You know what I mean.
I talked to my mom today. She said that she likes talking to me often because it makes it seem like I’m not that far away. Awww, I love my mommy. I miss all my family so much sometimes. And I think they miss me too, even Gene. I wish he could have come up here and visit more. But he’s some a homey type. He doesn’t like straying from too familiar settings. Reminds me my mom said that her and my dad were thinking about just going on a trip across seas sometime soon during the spring I think. Either Rome or Paris she said. And I was so excited. I can’t wait for them to go and just have fun running around a beautiful ancient city. Maybe sometime they’ll take me with them. I hope my passport is still good.

god hates robots. a lot.
So it’s been forever and I don’t know why but oh well.
Valentine’s day is coming up and I’ve made and mailed out some customized cards for all my friends. I thought they were pretty funny and I hope they like them too. I kind of wish I could make them take pictures of themselves with the cars because I put a lot of thought into them. I even made one for my parents and one for my brother. All of them are pure gold. I just hope they don’t remind some of my single friends that they are single, that’s not the point of Valentine’s Day to me anyways. It’s a day to love everybody you do love, and to get totally blitzed off chocolate. Oh my god! Watch out Walgreen’s I’m hitting up your 50% off on Feb. 15th hard core. Love love love! We truly are lovers of loving love.
What else, what else. This past weekend was fun- Thursday went out to Murphey’s had some brews and whatever. then on Friday went to a house party. Which I don’t think I’ve been to one of those in a long time. But it was fun; lots of talking with people who I guess are my friends. Then on Saturday we all went to a show, the band maritime. They were good but the venue was just awful. I always feel bad for good bands when they have to play to a small crowd in a shitting venue. Such a bummer. But anyways. And then Sunday was colder than god’s hate for robots. Oh my god and it’s still cold but ugh it makes me want it to be spring so bad.
Speaking of springtime I ordered some rain boots!! Also known as Wellington boots in the UK I guess. All my Internet shopping revealed this. Also trying to find any rain boots in my size was almost impossible. Having large women feet (though they are perfect proportional… I mean I don’t look like I’m walking on two giant canoes) it’s very hard to buy shoes anywhere. But between my mother and I we found some that I liked and were in my size. They’re pink and have brown tiny horses on them. When I get them I’ll take a picture for sure. I hope they get here soon and it rains or something. That’s bizarre to wish for rain when I do consider myself a sunshine type of person. But don’t we all buy clothes or shoes just so we can have them for that perfect situation, even if the situation typically isn’t desirable.
I watched a movie “History Boys”. A movie based on a play. The movie pretty much reminded me of how stupid I am and how according to the standards set in this movie I shouldn’t even have graduated high school in England, well at least in the 1980’s. Oh well, good thing I’ve finished school in the US and in the aught seven.
My mom said it was 80 over the weekend in Texas. I miss Texas; I miss my family. Awwwww… or maybe it’s just that I don’t like where I am right now… maybe. Just maybe. *nods head vigorously*
I love purple. It’s so beautiful.

just whatevers
So I write for just a few funny things.
Steve Colbert, Jon Stewart, and Conan O’Brien were all on Colbert’s show just now and it was the best thing I’ve ever seen. It made me so happy I can’t even describe.
Also, there’s a story on CNN about a truck carrying live swine and the truck lost control and fell and live pigs were wondering around on the highway! Isn’t that bizarre and hilarious.
There was a fog today in Chambana that was unbelievable. I mean it was thick… I’ve never seen anything like it. And it wasn’t just part of the day it was the WHOLE day. And with snow on the ground- just weird.
I looked at Big Black Security clothing today because I love the show Rob & Big. And I want a t-shirt so bad. It would be so badass. But I don’t know. I’d love to see my brother were some BB clothes. He’s perfect for them. And oh of course they have up to 6 XL- 6? Yes 6.
The 2nd was Groundhog day and I forgot to wish anybody/everybody a happy one at that. Oops. So here I am wishing that I had… so happy groundhog day… belated.
I made pretzels from scratch. It was fun- I got to use yeast, which really is beyond my comprehension. They were good but I feel like I can make them better somehow. So I’m going to do some research and see what it takes. But yum, soft pretzels are so good.

jon stewart be still my heart
I had a dream that was so comforting and slightly sexual that I just had to write it down. The first thing I can remember is coming home for the day and there are some friends of mine who live at this house with me. anyways it had been a really rough day and I kind of explode but then someone is there comforting me, it’s jon stewart. He is there as if he is just one of the friends. And to be more specific in the house lives, myself, jon stewart, sara, Emily, jami, Ryan, casey, pocket, marty. As far as I can tell that’s all of us. So! Anyways Jon (because I feel we’re so close now I can call him by his first name) is like touching the small of my back and where my neck and shoulder meet, very intimately. To relax me of course because I’m so stressed in this dream. But another thing is that whatever our relationship is, no one knows about it so we have to watch what we’re doing. And marty could have seen us but we were in the kitchen. But anyways jon was kissing my neck and stuff and it was getting pretty obvious what this was leading too but then more people came home and we had to stop. So then before I know it it’s like time for bed. And it turns out that like all the girls sleep in one giant bed. Which kind of really sucks but whatever it was like a big slumber party I guess. And then I don’t know the dreams jumps and I think we’re at a resturaunt but pocket gets us kicked out because he’s stealing salad dressings or something… he’s taking stuff from the buffet table or something. So bizarre.
But that jon stewart, first off what a bizarre choice of my sub conscious. I mean in real life I’m probably a couple inches taller than him and definitely wider than him. But in this dream oh my lord he could do no wrong. All in all a good dream… but back to reality.
Jam and I saw “There will be Blood” which was fucking nuts. I can’t even begin about it. I understand how it’s got all these nominations though. It feels important… there was just so much in it. But I mean I guess see it for yourself.
It snowed here like a shit ton. Like 6-8 inches maybe. It’s gorgeous but I had to go to work the next day and a lot of places weren’t even plowed yet. Honestly I know this is a small town but they could have at least salted some roads or something. So getting to work, first off my “street” which is more considered an alleyway wasn’t plowed so it took me about 10 minutes just to get off my block. And then once at work the parking lot hadn’t been plowed so my car, which maybe has like a 12” clearance was having a rough time. And then, when I was trying to get to the door I was leaping as one does in deep snow and I totally fell down. It didn’t hurt but I felt like an ass but snow is still a wonder to me so it wasn’t completely awful. Work was lame I don’t know why I had to be there. but it was fun because well it was Friday and it was a slow day for business.
