whatever...

Yes it’s been a while I will admit but I can’t help it. my good good friends and I have been emailing back and forth, right now we have an email thread that is about 25 posts long. I LOVE these emails… I can’t express how much joy they bring to me… it certainly is the best thing since they’ve all left CU. And they’re just all so funny I miss them… awww.

Also since my last post I was told by a secret someone that they read my blog and it was fun to read from newest to oldest. And then I realized how people might actually read this, which I forget often. And I don’t think it’s creepy in the least bit- anybody reading now- I don’t care if you read as long as you don’t try to kill me or anything I’d say you’re doing pretty okay for yourself.

Other business on the docket:
Matt graduates soon I’m so proud of him!
Jeff mother fucking Hansch is visiting soon and I can’t wait!!! to see him. Jeff is truly a gem, a diamond in the rough one might say. He’s like Aladdin, only he wears more than a vest and hammer pants.
Dallas stars are kicking ass and taking names and I like it. Matt’s Flyers are doing well too which is good, but if they met in the Stanely cup playoffs I don’t know how we could still be dating. Haha
I had a very erotic dream with Stephen Colbert. Of all people! But it was pleasant enough made me feel a little weird when I woke up. I do love dreams that when you wake up you’re like “wtf?”
Things are in bloom, which makes me very happy. There are plenty of wildflowers and the popcorn trees are in full popcorn effect. You know, white blossoms all over it. So pretty.
I need to buy some more exercise shorts all the ones I have are good for running and walking but once I lift my leg to do the elliptical or a bike it’s like “hey there fat thighs”. ICK!
I’m tired I’m stopping.

never ending bar crawl

This weekend was the almighty barcrawl. This year called “Moms on Strike” barcrawl. Which I am to understand is from a song written and performed by kleenax the almighty, a band that is just some of the guys who started the barcrawl. Ha. So anyways. It went from 12 noon to 2 am. It’s really not bad if you pace yourself but still your body is not happy with you after something like this. I went to sleep around 3 am? And I was wide awake at 6:30 am. So I got up and walked around the block with my cell phone and a water bottle. Just feel gross, not like vomity or hung over just trying to get my body to digest some of the booze I consumed. Then I watched “charlie’s angels full throttle”. So stupid. And watching that put me to sleep. So I feel asleep around I think 11 and slept til 5. ANYWAYS. It was a really fun day. I just hope I didn’t make a complete ass of myself to anybody. I don’t think I did, but you never know.

BUT! Other things that happened before Saturday’s barcrawl. I got a haircut! It’s really cute and shortish. It’s exactly what I wanted for summer. And the lady who cut my hair was nice and we talked about the earthquake. Oh that’s right, there was an earthquake in Illinois. Bizarre and unthinkable but very possible and it happened. I thought it was thunder but who knew. Nothing got ruined, but it was something fun to talk about with strangers. AND I went to a friend’s art show sort of thing. It was funny and I’m glad I went with matt, even though it rained on our way back home.

What else… dallas stars are going into the next round of playoffs. That’s fun. Which reminds me I need to go to Texas again to have my car inspected and become street legal. So annoying. But at least I get to see my parents? It’s just such a pain to drive all the way down there and back. Oh well.

Oh also I decided that if you’re a man and you wear a v-neck t-shirt and that’s it for your top, then you’re either my father or gay.

meow mix it up

So it gets rough when I’m bored and a little lonely and what do I do? Torture myself by looking at the Champaign County Humane Society’s website and look at adoptable pets. They’re so cute and I think hey I could have one of those. It’s a horrible idea. But then Matt comes home and I forget all about having a pet. But still if you’re really bored just look up “puppy” on you tube. THAT is a great idea.

I talk to my mom today and we discussed pets. She did admit that she missed having a cat to curl up on her lap and my heart went out to her it really did. I totally understand. When I was growing up we had first a cat that was all white, one green eye and one blue eye, his name was Monster. Best cat in the world, if you cried he would find you and consol as best a cat could. Then when I was young we got two more cats, a black one and a tabby. Blackie (creative names by children!) and Flipper. Both girls were delightful. Blackie was fat and comfortable. Flipper was a little wild until she was old and the only one left, then she really chilled out. I miss having a pet. Dogs are a lot of work but I bet I could handle one if it had the right attitude. Which is always a gamble. But a cat is so easy to handle. You can even leave them alone for a day or two and they’d be fine. * sigh * I guess what I’m saying is… even though I shouldn’t and I’m not any time soon… I want a kitty. Ideally I want a grey cat with blue eyes and I’d name him something hilarious. Like shmoopy or Carl.

In other news, Futurama is a great show. I really wish I had all the dvd’s or something. It’s much more clever than most shows.

What did I do this weekend? Well I went to a Dinosaur party which apparently means hipster kids tape cardboard to their hoodies. That’s a dinosaur? I guess. Except one fellow was dressed like Dr. Grant from Jurassic Park. That’s was perfect. Friday was spent mostly at home and then to a bar. This weekend at U of I was mom’s weekend. Which is when mom’s come down and act young for a weekend. So there were moms at the bar. Which is both weird and splendid.

I talked to Jeff on the phone. He’s great and fantastic. He’s gonna stay with us for a couple of days. I hope he’ll be okay here.

Also I think I’ve got tonsillitis. Self diagnosed, of course.

good grief!

Oh me oh my. Still feel a little under the weather. But better than before. I think I might have gotten Matt sick too but hopefully he isn’t that bad off. But since being sicky I’ve woken up at 5:30 am every morning. Which is riduclous because I never used to wake up in my sleep and think to myself “I should get out of bed and go to the bathroom”. Oh well maybe it’s just a sign that I’m getting older.

But let me tell you about a beautiful show that I love called Big Cat Diary. In the Masai Mara they followed some big cats around for a month. It makes me want to visit Africa pretty bad and stary in a wildlife reserve for like a week or something. I mean can you imagine being that close to a wild animal. Often the lion or cheetah is like a couple yards away. It’s awesome. Plus with a good camera lens, who knows what shots you could get.

I need to work out, I haven’t because of the head full of snot and a sour stomach. And I want to and I will sometime… just have to ya know… have the will power to get out of the house. Eep.

Talk to my good friends Sara and Emily lately and they’re just so fabulous. I can’t wait to see them again soon! By soon I have no idea when. But missing them is partly missing the summer time too.

Things to look forward to
Matt’s graduation
Officially summer time
THE bar crawl
Hopefully moving somewhere else
New episodes of the office, hehe!
More lists!!!

more pseudoephedrine, please

Things I did on that list
Paid rent
Rented some movie
-No Country for Old Men
-Dan in Real Life
And today I went to the grocery store for dinner.

I woke up this morning at around 4:30 am because my throat hurt super bad. And I don’t know if you’ve ever woken up because of a sore throat but man it’s discerning. So I went to the kitchen and drank some hot water and took some NyQuil. The liquid kind. It was awful. I hate that stuff. The gel caps I can handle- pills are great. But the liquid tastes like liquid poop. Ugh. So after drinking more water to wash out the flavor I got to sleep pretty easily. But I woke up and I felt like shit. So today I spent most of the time sleeping and being in pajamas. Oh well I just hope tomorrow I’m okay for work.

In other news: No Country For Old Men was fucked up. And Matt and I didn’t “get” it. but I feel a lot like I did after seeing There Will Be Blood. But I watched Dan in Real Life and I cried. So typical, sucha smaltzy ending. I mean he gets the job and the girl and the family. I mean it all works out. It was great! It’s exactly what it should have been. And there are still so many more movies I want to watch. But paying to watch movies is lame. Thank you library for spoiling me.

I need more drugs. Also cookies and ice cream where made for each other.

yikes, watch out.

So let me tell you- Thursday night got out of hand.
There were the local music awards which admittingly should just be called “WPGU gets drunk night” there were 12 bottles of jack daniels that were for free and for members of PGU only in a pre event party. And I was blessed enough to be a +1, a girlfriend of an integral part of the radio station. Free Booze, is there a phrase more beautiful or more dangerous? Well I had many drinks, and then I had some more, and then after the event we went to another bar where I can’t even imagine what kind of scene I was making. I was told on Friday how happy a drunk I am and also how I told all these things to people, when I don’t remember saying all this stuff. So I guess you’re getting the picture now. but the worst part of it all was that I had to work on Friday morning, and it’s hard to be hung over when you’re still drunk. I finally started feeling less like shit around 1. And I got off of work at 1:30 so that worked out okay. But my god. Trying to mix pasta sauces while having the drunk hot flashes, not good! After work I just showered did some laundry and chillaxed. Jami was in town too, did I mention that? So anyway we both decided that a nap would be a really good idea. And it was, three hours later I got up and felt a little better but mostly hungry. I ordered a pizza. It was the best pizza I have ever eaten. I hadn’t eaten anything all day. The rest of the night was spent in pj pants and around the couch. It was great. All in all though it was a great time, even though I know I embarrassed myself.

Also during Thursday night while in one bar I think someone accidentally sprayed some pepper spray. And I don’t know if you’ve ever experienced pepper spray. It was the most affective chemical reaction I’ve ever experienced. I mean all of a sudden you just start coughing and it’s not a real cough. It was just bizarre. So the whole bar had to evacuate to air out the place.

Also I just read an email from a friend in the Peace Corps. And it sounds rough. He’s experiencing so much. More than I ever probably will maybe because I’m too freaked out to really wholly immerse myself into something I don’t already know super well. And I have two more friends who are going into the Peace Corps and I hope they love it and stuff. I don’t know… it’s such a commitment I don’t think I could handle it.

I can barely handle a Thursday night. Jesus.

Anyways. Things I want to do today but probably wont do many of them.
Pay rent
Buy some groceries
Buy some shoes
Go work out
Rent some movies
