Not important but read anyway
Well most of my posts are not important but I think it is a good idea to have some of my thoughts readable to the world.
So I think I am hungry right now so the poll of the day is food related but not like most people would think.

Walgreens
I hate Walgreens in the morning. The high school kids are there and they can only come in two at a time. Which makes the whole experience just painful.
Well I bought some hair clipies, cocoa butter lotion ans new chapstick.
The chapstick will be is awesome. It is Chapstick All Natural. So next time your out pick some up. It smells really good.
Well I think it is time for a nose update: Well it is crap. I am trying all my techniques. Except saline spray that is always the last step because it makes my throat icky.
I am really excited that I am going to have french fries today for lunch and Jimmy Johns for breakfast. Sounds like fun right.
I am going to try to make today and fun filled day for blogging.

Say goodbye to The O.C.
Well its time to say goodbye to the show that sweeped the nation then fizzled bad. Well Today is the last episode of The O.C.
I must admit that I watched the first season religiously and caught part of the second then lost all interest. Well It had it moments in the beginning and I am sure int he episodes that I didn't watch.
For all the fans. There will be a new show that you fall in love with and they will cancel.
Here are a couple links that will bring back some O.C. memories.

Today's Poll
If you happened to see the first poll it was slightly flawed. So I decided to fix it in hopes to get the real feelings of the people (you). Here is the new and improved poll.
I like...
peanut butter. I feel bad for the rest of the peanut butter lovers out there whose favorite brand of peanut butter is Peter Pan. Well there has been a recall on some peanut butter: http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2007/NEW01563.html
So check your brand out.
For the record I like Skippy. Which reminds me of a conversation I had once I tell you all about it later.

Delivery People
I don't know how many people have had experience with DHL (the delivery company) but I mentioned to my boss that I was having a package shipped through them and I was worried. I shouldn't forget to mention that they are the mentally challenged of delivery services. So after to attempted deliveries I call the company to find out what is going on. Here the deal. They are attempting to deliver to the post office. Once at 6:00pm once at 6:15pm and again at 7:00pm. Obviously the post office is closed at those times as I am sure the delivery guy could have noticed by the hours posted on the door of the post office. Like I said I called. The woman told me that they were attempting to deliver to the post office so they could deliver (which is stupid) and the post office was closed. So I asked were they going to attempt to deliver before the post office closed. She assumed so. What does that mean. SO she said she would call the driver and ask them to deliver before 5pm.
How is delivering a package that hard. UPS and FedEx do it (kind of).

Who will I vote for?
Well I have been reading a few articles and watching a little tv to help me decide who I would like to be the next president of the US. Well I don't know. Its a good thing there's plenty of time.
So I have not decided on anyone yet or even have strong feelings about anyone now but I think it is unfair (and this is why I would never make it in politics) to expect someone to say something they did (or voted for) in 2002 was a mistake. Hindsight is 20/20.
Yes I think that somethings could have happened differently and that fear played a large part in what we were willing to except in 2002 compared to 2007.
Anyway I will continue doing my research and will report back.

Feb: Crazy Month
I know that this doesn't make me crazy but my sweatshirt obsession makes me look crazy.
I am cold 75% of the time. Unless it is above 85 degrees I'm cold. I wear sweatshirts as the help keep the heat in.
The reason I have so many sweatshirts is...
I don't like to do laundry there for I need a rather large rotation of sweatshirts.
Now for a real crazy of mine. I am a selective germaphobe (I don't know if that is an actual word). I can't handle people who I don't know sneezing or coughing or being what appears to be ill in my present (or earshot). I start to freak out and want to disinfect things. Now for people I do know its a little different it depends on how sick they are or if they just have a cough or something. If they are really sick then I will more than likely freak out and not touch anything. If they are not sick I will try to pretend that I believe that they are not sick so I can have normal interactions.
My brain likes to believe that I am susceptible to things like TB, whooping cough and the plague. Although I have never thought I could have caught the plague the TB announcement freaked me out for the rest of the day (9am announcements are not the time for stuff like that 5pm as I am going home is the proper time). i remember we had a mumps scare that freaked me out too. Man is it good that I know I'm crazy and don't that me to seriously.

Stein Optical
All Stein Optical employees suck. I have had wonderful experiences with the eye doctors there. The rest of them all suck. What happened to customer service. I know its called being understaffed or having employees who just don't care. All I want is contacts or new glasses or whatever it could possibly be. Pay attention to me Stein Optical employees. Oh I am on hold with them right now feeling ignored.
When my friend worked at Stein Optical I thought oh know what are they going to do to her. I like her and they are going to force her to suck at life and that would have made me sad. She no longer works there and therefore does not suck.
Still oh hold. it has been over 5 minutes.
Update: After ten minutes of being on hold I gave up.

The crazy is loose
As we all know know February is a good month because everybody wants to label it something.
It's Black History month
I think it is GMA's month of love
Somebody's doing bar or bartending month
Well I think I should get in on the action. It will be get all my crazy out month.
I figure this will be partly therapeutic, a little sad, and a whole lot of amusement for some.
To get a few things out of the way:
I'm a little bit obsessive. IF you guys couldn't tell that already. Case in point. John Mayer - I really can't help myself. Remember I said a little bit obsessive, I'm not stalking him or anything and won't for all of you who are worried. I gave up stalking and am now going to healthier ways to entertain myself. Once again John Mayer does not need to be worried.
You may all think that this nail/manicure thing is new. It's not. I used to be a nail biter I have gave up that habit because its disgusting for one and I have picked up a new nail related bad habit to take over. This one maybe worse than biting my nails. I pick at my cuticles. This one is not nearly as bad as the nail biting but if I don't get a manicure soon this is going to get out of hand. Right now I am taking breaks in typing to pick. Plus the horrible dry winter doesn't help.
When I allow myself to have chips and dip, that gets out of hand also. Once I have had them I think about chips and dips for days maybe even weeks. I have to move on quickly from this topic because there will be a vicious cycle no one wants to deal with. Just ask Jenni what happened the last time we watched Grey's Anatomy at her house.
I am done withe the obsessions for a while I think those are enough to deal with right now.
I'll write more later maybe starting with being germaphobic and a little bit of a hypochondriac.

My Internet Skills
So everyone knows that my internet skills are hit or miss. Somethings I can find things easily other times it is like it doesn't exist. One of the few times that my internet skills are right on is when I am looking for something John Mayer. Beth sent me a text this morning saying that John Mayer was going to be on CBS today. I missed the text and therefore missed John Mayer on tv. I didn't miss John Mayer though. The internet did what it needed in record time to bring me and John closer together. (that was a joke) It's not time yet. Some of you know what I mean.

iTunes Library
So as random people go on and off of Prowlnet, checks out the shared libraries. David (unknown to us) likes all types of music but the most offensive to Beth is Nickelback. We thought that was just an odd selection of music. Now we have come across Alex (unknown to us) whose library is only rap except for one thing... Nickelback. Now is there something weird happening or is it Nickelback being awesome. You tell me.
We will keep and eye out for other Nickelback sightings.

Nail Care
As mentioned before I need some serious work on my hands. My cuticles are crap and my nails are horrible. So I have been trying to find a place close to me where I can start with a manicure. I want to start there as these cuticles have major issues. The first place I called doesn't have a nail technician of course this would happen.
Why don't nail salons and in general beauty salons have web sites. Without a web site I have no way of determining if I would like to stop in someplace. Oh well I guess this well be a longer process than I thought.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

The Fast Food Industry
Well who knew Mr. Rapper Wanna-be could cause such a big stink. Well for all of you would do not know what I am talking about. K-Fed appears in a television ad where he works for a fast food restaurant - with dreams of becoming a rap star. Of course day dreaming is not accepting and his boss tells him to concentrate on the fries or something. The National Restaurant Association is upset because they say the ad (a Nationwide Insurance - "life comes at you fast" ad) portrays working in a restaurant as "demeaning and unpleasant". I hate to break this to them but when you are almost 30 years old it can very well be a demeaning and unpleasant experience. Have you seen the way I can be bitching and degrading when I want a cheese burger or the way I scream at fast food restaurant employees when they can't make a taco properly.
Well I guess to get to my point. I really doubt that people's aspirations in life are to grow up to be a fry girl. Get over yourselves National Restaurant Association. I am sure that when I am in desperate need for employment this post will be found and no McDonald's or Taco Bell across the land will hire me but oh well. I hope they will continue to sell cheeseburgers and taco supremes to me.

I'll investigate and report more on this later.
Update: Well I tried to look it up. I'll tell you this clicking on the wikipedia link was like asking your stupid friend about anything. This friend is proven stupid through past encounters with them where they have given you wrong information. The only reason you continue to go there is because they are cool and hanging with them keeps you in the cool crowd.

My new mini-obsession
Ok I have to call what I have for this actor a mini obsession as nothing can compare to the feelings I have for John Mayer. I know some of you are thinking that man she has gone off the deep end but as long as John Mayer keeps entertaining me he will be number one obsession.
I have done some research on my new mini obsession and he will be 31 this year and I think he is more handsome without facial hair.
Seriously I had to look at what year it was to do calculations.
Beth is trying to figure this guy out and one more hint his initials are ...wait... that's too much information right now. Here's a hint he is not American. (I apparently think anyone who speaks English (I almost wrote American) is).
I am smart.

NY Post
We should all be worried.

For sure there's something wrong with me...
well I am not going to tell you what is wrong with me but if you really want to know I think it would only take you 20-30 minutes of talking to me to find out.
I like funny people. I like people who are funny in person (but who doesn't) but I need funny in writing too.
Just to clear this up I do like funny looking people but that is usually because they are funny either vocally or in writing.
Back to the point, I say that and now wonder if there is a point except that I may enjoy typing.
Well I want to ask the world to writing something funny for me. My kind of funny. It would be to hard to explain what that is and guess. I will buy the funniest in writing person a cupcake/muffin or a shot of tequila. Both items help funny writers write funny stuff.
Also I think I maybe getting a new obsession but I don't want to reveal it yet as it may be a passing sort of thing. More on that later.

Vitamin Stomach Ache
I have one and it is not painful yet but it isn't pleasant.
So I am supposed to take the daily recommended intake of calcium in pill format everyday and if you know me we all know how that is working.
Now I want a nap.

Chili Cook-Off
So there was a chili cook-off at Pam and Michael's this weekend and I DID NOT win!!!!!
Well I don't care that much anyway. I made chili and I ate chili. Chili shots are fun almost as much fun as tequila shots. Maybe I will put tequila in the chili.
Well although I didn't win my chili seemed to go over pretty well.
I think the best part about he chili contest in that the winer took notes so that he could judge better. Of course I want to hear them he took judging very serious.
It was fun and I tricked into eating venison. I am not sure about that at all/
Can't wait until the next cooking challenge. See I am a good catch I can cook (I don't clean though).

Liking yourself
I think everyone should do this.: http://flickr.com/photos/tedmond/sets/72157594475584183/
I created a set of pictures of me because I like myself today an I thought why not take two or three minutes and do something truly self-centered. Here is my attempt. Then after seeing that I had ONLY 61 pictures of myself I thought there has to be more.
Oh well I'll add to these as I come across more 'me' pics.

Chia Pet
Ok we have been growing this chia pet in the office for a while and I can tell you the thing is needy.
I will now share pictures of the slightly balding chia pet:
I guess I should water it today or Shrek will lose all his hair. But we will see.

a very apologetic 2003
So I am looking through old email from 2003 and I noticed that I said sorry a lot then. That may have something to do with the amount of drinking I did back then. Oh well I was funny back then and I think I should get back to 2003. Less drama but more fun.

My John Mayer Obsession
John Mayer and MacWorld. I am going next year to see John Mayer perform. Ok I am crazy but I can't help it.
Apple, Inc. and the iPhone and working people into a tizzy.
Oh Well I read John Mayer's blog today. Nothing particularly good but I wonder who that message was directed toward. Not me I only have nice things to say about John Mayer.

I handle outages very poorly.
So I have been writing things in notepad and word. I am a psycho.
I was reading a blog about hetero crushes and I decided to make a list of my own I will stick to somewhere around 5 or 10 (TV characters).
If you guys didn't know I was a West Wing and had many girl crushes from this show. I'll just choose one and I am sure I will regret it later.
Ainsley Hayes - Ok she was politically on the other side of the fence than I was but she definitely had qualities that I admired. She didn't take any crap and she stood up for her self. She also had a thing for muffins or something like that.
Nancy Botwin- Weeds - I don't agree with her choices in occupation but she was put ina situation. She did what she needed to do to provide for her family. I can relate to anybody who can get themselves in a out of trouble.
Varonica Mars - Well yeah she treated her boyfriend like crap but she has trust issues. I would like to play that charatcer for a few days. I love a good mystery.
I have more but I have to carefully think about this. I'll write more later. OH if you would like to share your crushes please do.
Well I am writing my blog today in notepad because the site has been down. I am watching (reading) this live chat feed from MacWorld. John Mayer is there and why isn't Beth there to secretly record this performance. I can't believe Apple is trying to convert me into Mac user via my obsession with John Mayer. I think Apple is taking is plot to take over the world too far.
Google is eating my blog right now and I am not happy about it.
Hey there,
After reading the following 23 questions in a book, I now believe they are excellent indicators of a person's character. Therefor please read and answer the following questions (and send them back to me) so that I can know if I can really love you and/or still be your friend.
1. Let us assume you met a rudimentary magician. Let us assume he can do five simple tricks - he can pull a rabbit out of his hat, he can make a coin disappear, he can turn the ace of spades into the Joker card, and two others in a similar vein. These are his only tricks and he can't learn any more; he can only do these five. HOWEVER, it turns out he's doing these five tricks with real magic. It's not an illusion; he can actually conjure the bunny out of the either and he can move the coin through space. He's legitimately magical, but extremely limited in scope and influence.
Would this person be more impressive tha n Albert Einstein?
No a person that can think and come up with brilliant things is much better than someone who just do things. How long do you think pulling a rabbit out of a hat will impress you.
2. Let us assume a fully grown, completely healthy Clydesdale horse has his hooves shackled to the ground while his head is held in place with thick rope. He is conscious and standing upright, but completely immobile. And let us assume that for some reason every political prisoner on earth (as cited by Amnesty International) will be released from captivity if you can kick this horse to death in less than twenty minutes. You are allowed to wear steel-toed boots.
Would you attempt to do this?
I just can’t see myself kicking a horse to death. Sorry political prisoners.
3. Let us assume there are two boxes on a table. In one box, there is a relatively normal turtle in the other , Adolf Hitler's skull. You have to select one of these items for your home. If you select the turtle, you can't give it away and you have to keep it alive fore two years; if either of these parameters are not met, you will be fined $999 by the state. If you select Hitler's skull, you are required to display it in a semi-prominent location in your living room for the same amount of time, although you will be paid a stipend of $120 per month for doing so. Display of the skull must be apolitical.
Which option do you select?
I want the turtle. Although the stipend would be cool. I don’t think displaying the skull of a truly evil man is cool.
4. Genetic engineers and Johns Hopkins University announce that they have developed a so-called "super gorilla." Though the animal cannot speak, it has a sign la nguage lexicon of over twelve thousand words, and I.Q. of almost 85, and - most notably- a vague sense of self-awareness. Oddly, the creature (who weighs seven hundred pounds) becomes fascinated by football. The gorilla aspires to play the game at its highest level and quickly develops the rudimentary skills of a defensive end. ESPN analyst Tom Jackson speculates that this gorilla would be "borderline unblockable" and would likely average six sacks a game (although Jackson concedes the beast might be susceptible to counters and misdirection plays). Meanwhile, the gorilla has made it clear he would never intentionally injure any opponent.
You are commissioner of the NFL: would y ou allow this gorilla to sign with the Oakland Raiders?
I am not crazy. Have you ever heard of animalistic instincts. Think about it whether this super gorilla would intentionally hurt someone does not matter. It is 700lbs. If it accidentally fell on someone they are dead.
5. You meet your soul mate. However, there is a catch: Every three years, someone will break both of your soul mate's collarbones with a Crescent wrench, and there is only one way you can stop this from happening; You must swallow a pill that will make every song you hear - for the rest of your life - sound as if it's being performed by the band Alice in Chains. when you hear Creedence Clearwater Revival on the radio, it will sound (to your ears) like it's being played by Alice in Chains. If you see Radiohead live, every one of their tunes will sound like it's being covered by Alice in Chains. When you hear a commercial jingle on TV, it will sound like Alice in Chains; if you sing to yourself in the shower, your voice will sound like deceased Alice vocalist Layne Staley performing a capella (but it will only sound this way to you).
Would you swallow the pill?
I don’t know about this. The best part about music is it sounds different. I think I need to do some research on collarbones. Does my soul mate know? I am pretty sure I would tell him he had bad luck. I really don’t know that is tough.
6. At long last, someone invents "the dream VCR." This machine allows you to tape an entire evening's worth of your own dreams, which you can then watch at your leisure. However, the inventor of the dream VCR will only allow you to use this device if you agree to a strange caveat: When you watch your dreams, you must do so with your family and your closest friends in the same room. They get to watch your dreams along with you. And if you don't agree to this, you can't use the dream VCR.
Would you still do this?
Easy. No, thank you. I have pretty bizarre dreams and if they get worse than the ones I remember my sub-conscience can keep them.
7. Defying all expectation, a group of Scottish marine biologists capture a live Loch Ness Monster. In an almost unbelievable coincidence, a bear hunter in the Pacific Northwest shoots a Sasquatch in the thigh, thereby allowing zoologists to take the furry monster into captivity. These events happen on the same afternoon. That evening, the president announces he may have thyroid cancer and will undergo a biopsy later that week.
You are the front-page editor of the New York Times : what do you play as the biggest story?
This is also an easy one. Having the president that we have (although I wish that man no ill-will) I would put the cancer story up. This would definitely give the readers the hope that change might be in the future.
8. You meet he perfect person. Romantically, this person is ideal: you find them physically attractive, intellectually stimulating, consistently funny, and deeply compassionate. However, they have one quirk: This individual is obsessed with Jim Henson's gothic puppet fantasy The Dark Crystal. Beyond watching it on DVD at least once a month, he/she peppers casual conversation with Dark Crystal references, uses Da rk Crystal analogies to explain everyday event, and occasionally lik es to talk intensely about the film's "deeper philosophy".
Would this be enough to stop you from ma rrying this individual?
Although this is probably grounds to be locked away in some sort of institution tell me how this is any different from being with someone obsessed with football, computers or anime.
9. A novel titled Interior Mirror is released to mammoth commercial success (despite middling reviews). However, a curious social trend emerges: Though no one can prove a direct scientific link, it appears that almost 30 percent of the people who have read this book immediately become homosexual. Many of these new found homosexuals credit the book for helping them reach this conclusion about their orientation, despite the fact that Interior Mirror is ostensibly a crime novel with no homoerotic content (and was written by a straight man).
Would this phenomenon increase (or decre ase) the likelihood of you reading this book?
I would read it. I am confident in my sexuality. Get real.
10. This is the open ing line of Jay Mcinerney's Bright Ligh ts, Big City: "You are not the kind of guy who would be in a place like this at this time of the morning." Think about that line in the context of the nove l (assuming you've read it). Now go to your CD collection and find Heart's Little Queen album (assu ming you own it). Listen to the opening riff to "Barracuda" .
Which of these two introductions is a hi gher form of art?
Never read the book I can’t give an opinion.
11. You are watching a movie in a crowded theater. Though the plot is mediocre, you find yourself dazzled by the special effects. But with twenty minutes left in the film, you are struck with an undeniable feeling of doom: You are suddenly certain your mother has just died. There is no logical reason for this to be true, but you are certain of it. You are overtaken with the irrational metaphysical sense that -somewhere- your mom has just perished. But this is only an intuitive, amorphous feeling: there is no evidence for this, and your mother has not been ill.
Would you immediately exit the theater, or would you finish watching the movie?
I’d check my cell phone for missed calls in the theatre.
12. You meet a wizard in downtown Chicago. The wizard tells you he can make you more attractive if you pay him money. When you ask how this process works, the wizard points to a random person on the street. You look at this random stranger. The wizards says, "I will now make them a dollar more attractive." He waves h is magic wand. Ostensibly, this person does not change at all; as far as you can tell, nothing is different. But somehow this person is suddenly a little more appealing. The tangible difference is invisible to the naked eye, but you can't deny that this person is vaguely sexier. This wizard has a weird rule, though you can only pay him once. You can't keep giving him money until you're satisfied. You can only pay him one lump sum up front.
How much cash do you give the wizard?
Zero dollars. I like who I am.
13. Every person you have ever slept with is invited to a banquet where you are the guest of honor. No one will be in attendance except you, the collection of your former lovers, and the catering service. After the meal, you are asked to give a fifteen-minute speech to the assembly.
What do you talk about?
That’s just funny. The fact that everyone you ever slept with is invited and you know this and you still go is crazy. If I had to or didn’t know. I would talk about something horribly disgusting. Like having herpes or some STD. Hopefully I have some sort of security or a gun.
14. For reasons that cannot be explained, cats can suddenly read at a twelfth-grade level. They can't talk and they can't write, but they can read silently and understand the text. Many cats love this new skill, because they now have something to do all day while they lay around the house; however, a few cats become depressed, because reading forces them to realize the limitations of their existence (not to mention the utter frustration of being unable to express themselves).
This being the case, do you think the av erage cat would enjoy Garfield, or would cats find this cartoon to be an insulting caricature?
Cats would definitely enjoy this. IF cats were intelligent enough to read at a 12th grade level they would be able to only place the attributes of Garfield on other cats not themselves. Being able to do that makes things really funny.
15. You have a brain tumor. though there is no discomfort at the moment, this tumor would unquestionably kill you in six months. However, your life can (and will) be saved by an operation; the only downside is that there will be a brutal incision to your frontal lobe. After the surgery, you will be significantly less intelligent. You will still be a fully functioning adult, but you will be less logical, you will have a terrible memory, and you will have little ability to understand complex concepts or difficult ideas. The surgery is in two weeks.
How do you spend the next fourteen days?
Telling doctors to fuck off.
16. Someone builds an optical portal that allows you to see a vision of your own life in the future (it's essentially a crystal ball that shows a randomly selected image of what your life will be like in twenty years). You can only see into this portal for thirty seconds. When you finally peer into the crystal, you see yourself in a living room, two decades older than you are today. You are watching a Canadian football game, and you are extremely happy. You are wearing a CFL jersey. Your chair is surrounded by books and magazines that promote the Canadian Football League, and there are CFL pennants covering your walls. You are alone in the room, but you are gleefully muttering about historical moments in Canadian football history. It becomes clear that for some unknown reason you have become obsessed with Canadian football. And this future is static and absolute; no matter what you do, this future will happen. The optical portal is never wrong. This destiny cannot be changed.
The next day, you are flipping through television channels and randomly come across a preseason CFL game between the Toronto Argonauts and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Knowing your inevitable future, do you now watch it?
Yes because this is so funny to me, I might as well get started early.
17. You are sitting in an empty bar (in a town you've never before visited), drinking Bacardi with a soft spoken acquaintance you barely know. After and hour, a third individual walks into the tavern and sits by himself, and you ask you acquaintance who the new man is. "Be careful of that guy," you are told. "He is a man with a past." A few moments later, a fourth person enters the bar; he also sits alone. You ask your acquaintance who this new individual is. "Be careful of that guy, too." he says. "he is a man with no past".
Which of these two people do you trust less?
The man with no past. Everybody has something and if no one knows about it they are definitely hiding something you don’t want to be involved in.
18. You have won a prize. The prize has two options, and you can choose either (but not both). The first option is a year in Europe with a monthly stipend of $2,000. The second option is ten minutes on the moon.
Which option do you select?
Europe. What am I am going to do on the moon and who am I going to do it with. Visiting places is all about the experiences you can take back home with you.
19. Your best friend is taking a nap on the floor of your living room. Suddenly, you are faced with a bizarre existential problem: This friend is going to die unless you kick them (as hard as you can) in the rib cage. If you don't kick them while they slumber, they will never wake up. However, you can never explain this to your friend; if you later inform them that you did this to save their life, they will also die from that. So you have to kick a sleeping friend in the ribs, and you can't tell them why.
Since you cannot tell your friend the truth, what excuse will you fabricate to explain this (seemingly inexplicable ) attack?
My friends know that I am clumsy. I would tell them I tripped. Why get to elaborate.
20. For whatever the reason, two unauthorized movies are made about your life. The first is an independently released documentary, primarily comprised of interviews with people who know you and bootleg footage from you actual life. Critics are describing the documentary as "brutally honest and relentlessly fair." Meanwhile, Columbia Tri-Star has produce d a big-budget biopic of your life, casting major Hollywood stars as you and all your acquaintances; though the movie is based on actual events, screenwriters have taken some liberties with the facts. Critics are split on the artistic merits of this fictionalized account, but audiences love it.
Which film would you be most interested in seeing?
The documentary. My life has all types of stuff that you don’t have to fictionalize to make it entertaining.
21. Imagine you could go back to the age of five and relive the rest of your life, knowing everything that you know now. You will reexperience your entire adolescence with both the cognitive ability of an adult and the memories of everything you've learned from having lived your life previously.
Would you lose your virginity earlier or later than you did the first time around (and by how many years)?
Virginity is a funny thing. Well lets see. I don’t know. I’m fine where it is now.
22. You work in an office. Generally, you are popular with your coworkers. However, you discover that there are currently two rumors circulating in the office gossip mill, and both involve you. The first rumor is that you got drunk at the office holiday party and had sex with one of your married coworkers. This rumor is completely true, but most people don't believe it. The second rumor is that you have been stealing hundreds of dollars of office supplies (and then selling them to cover a gambling debt). This rumor is completely false, but virtually everyone assumes it is factual.
Which of these two rumors is most troubl ing to you?
The one that I have a problem gambling. I don’t want people thinking that I am broke because I am gambling it away. The better story would be that I am stupidly sleeping with a guy that will never leave his wife and… wow my imagination kicked in there. More troubling gambling. Plus if I am slept with this guy. Shit happens. Although that would never happen because I want to get married and if I found out my husband got drunk and slept with someone. There’s going to be bodies.
23. Consider this possibility:
a. Think about deceased TV star John Ritter.
b. Now, pretend Ritter had never become famous. Pretend he was never affected by the trappings of fame, and try to imagine what his personality would have been like.
c. Now, imagine that this person, the unfamous John Ritter, is a character in a situation comedy.
d. Now, you are also a character in this sitcom, and the unfamous John Ritter character is your sitcom father.
e. However, this sitcom is actually your real life. In other words, you are living inside a sitcom: Everything about your life is a construction, featuring the unfamous John Ritter playing himself (in the role of your TV father). But this is not a sitcom. This is your real life.
How would you feel about this?
I feel like this is crazy. I saw that movie with Jim Carey and I am not stable enough for stuff like that people would get hurt.
I was reading a blog about hetero crushes and I decided to make a list of my own I will stick to somewhere around 5 or 10 (TV characters).

Hey there,
After reading the following 23 questions in a book, I now believe they are excellent indicators of a person's character. Therefor please read and answer the following questions (and send them back to me) so that I can know if I can really love you and/or still be your friend.

Let us assume he can do five simple tricks - he can pull a rabbit out of his hat, he can make a coin disappear, he can turn the ace of spades into the Joker card, and two others in a similar vein.

No a person that can think and come up with brilliant things is much better than someone who just do things. How long do you think pulling a rabbit out of a hat will impress you.

He is conscious and standing upright, but completely immobile. And let us assume that for some reason every political prisoner on earth (as cited by Amnesty International) will be released from captivity if you can kick this horse to death in less than twenty minutes. You are allowed to wear steel-toed boots.

I just can’t see myself kicking a horse to death. Sorry political prisoners.
3. Let us assume there are two boxes on a table. In one box, there is a relatively normal turtle in the other , Adolf Hitler's skull. You have to select one of these items for your home. If you select the turtle, you can't give it away and you have to keep it alive fore two years; if either of these parameters are not met, you will be fined $999 by the state. If you select Hitler's skull, you are required to display it in a semi-prominent location in your living room for the same amount of time, although you will be paid a stipend of $120 per month for doing so. Display of the skull must be apolitical.
Which option do you select?
I want the turtle. Although the stipend would be cool. I don’t think displaying the skull of a truly evil man is cool.
4. Genetic engineers and Johns Hopkins University announce that they have developed a so-called "super gorilla." Though the animal cannot speak, it has a sign la nguage lexicon of over twelve thousand words, and I.Q. of almost 85, and - most notably- a vague sense of self-awareness. Oddly, the creature (who weighs seven hundred pounds) becomes fascinated by football. The gorilla aspires to play the game at its highest level and quickly develops the rudimentary skills of a defensive end. ESPN analyst Tom Jackson speculates that this gorilla would be "borderline unblockable" and would likely average six sacks a game (although Jackson concedes the beast might be susceptible to counters and misdirection plays). Meanwhile, the gorilla has made it clear he would never intentionally injure any opponent.
You are commissioner of the NFL: would y ou allow this gorilla to sign with the Oakland Raiders?
I am not crazy. Have you ever heard of animalistic instincts. Think about it whether this super gorilla would intentionally hurt someone does not matter. It is 700lbs. If it accidentally fell on someone they are dead.
5. You meet your soul mate. However, there is a catch: Every three years, someone will break both of your soul mate's collarbones with a Crescent wrench, and there is only one way you can stop this from happening; You must swallow a pill that will make every song you hear - for the rest of your life - sound as if it's being performed by the band Alice in Chains. when you hear Creedence Clearwater Revival on the radio, it will sound (to your ears) like it's being played by Alice in Chains. If you see Radiohead live, every one of their tunes will sound like it's being covered by Alice in Chains. When you hear a commercial jingle on TV, it will sound like Alice in Chains; if you sing to yourself in the shower, your voice will sound like deceased Alice vocalist Layne Staley performing a capella (but it will only sound this way to you).
Would you swallow the pill?
I don’t know about this. The best part about music is it sounds different. I think I need to do some research on collarbones. Does my soul mate know? I am pretty sure I would tell him he had bad luck. I really don’t know that is tough.
6. At long last, someone invents "the dream VCR." This machine allows you to tape an entire evening's worth of your own dreams, which you can then watch at your leisure. However, the inventor of the dream VCR will only allow you to use this device if you agree to a strange caveat: When you watch your dreams, you must do so with your family and your closest friends in the same room. They get to watch your dreams along with you. And if you don't agree to this, you can't use the dream VCR.
Would you still do this?
Easy. No, thank you. I have pretty bizarre dreams and if they get worse than the ones I remember my sub-conscience can keep them.
7. Defying all expectation, a group of Scottish marine biologists capture a live Loch Ness Monster. In an almost unbelievable coincidence, a bear hunter in the Pacific Northwest shoots a Sasquatch in the thigh, thereby allowing zoologists to take the furry monster into captivity. These events happen on the same afternoon. That evening, the president announces he may have thyroid cancer and will undergo a biopsy later that week.
You are the front-page editor of the New York Times : what do you play as the biggest story?
This is also an easy one. Having the president that we have (although I wish that man no ill-will) I would put the cancer story up. This would definitely give the readers the hope that change might be in the future.
8. You meet he perfect person. Romantically, this person is ideal: you find them physically attractive, intellectually stimulating, consistently funny, and deeply compassionate. However, they have one quirk: This individual is obsessed with Jim Henson's gothic puppet fantasy The Dark Crystal. Beyond watching it on DVD at least once a month, he/she peppers casual conversation with Dark Crystal references, uses Da rk Crystal analogies to explain everyday event, and occasionally lik es to talk intensely about the film's "deeper philosophy".
Would this be enough to stop you from ma rrying this individual?
Although this is probably grounds to be locked away in some sort of institution tell me how this is any different from being with someone obsessed with football, computers or anime.
9. A novel titled Interior Mirror is released to mammoth commercial success (despite middling reviews). However, a curious social trend emerges: Though no one can prove a direct scientific link, it appears that almost 30 percent of the people who have read this book immediately become homosexual. Many of these new found homosexuals credit the book for helping them reach this conclusion about their orientation, despite the fact that Interior Mirror is ostensibly a crime novel with no homoerotic content (and was written by a straight man).
Would this phenomenon increase (or decre ase) the likelihood of you reading this book?
I would read it. I am confident in my sexuality. Get real.
10. This is the open ing line of Jay Mcinerney's Bright Ligh ts, Big City: "You are not the kind of guy who would be in a place like this at this time of the morning." Think about that line in the context of the nove l (assuming you've read it). Now go to your CD collection and find Heart's Little Queen album (assu ming you own it). Listen to the opening riff to "Barracuda" .
Which of these two introductions is a hi gher form of art?
Never read the book I can’t give an opinion.
11. You are watching a movie in a crowded theater. Though the plot is mediocre, you find yourself dazzled by the special effects. But with twenty minutes left in the film, you are struck with an undeniable feeling of doom: You are suddenly certain your mother has just died. There is no logical reason for this to be true, but you are certain of it. You are overtaken with the irrational metaphysical sense that -somewhere- your mom has just perished. But this is only an intuitive, amorphous feeling: there is no evidence for this, and your mother has not been ill.
Would you immediately exit the theater, or would you finish watching the movie?
I’d check my cell phone for missed calls in the theatre.
12. You meet a wizard in downtown Chicago. The wizard tells you he can make you more attractive if you pay him money. When you ask how this process works, the wizard points to a random person on the street. You look at this random stranger. The wizards says, "I will now make them a dollar more attractive." He waves h is magic wand. Ostensibly, this person does not change at all; as far as you can tell, nothing is different. But somehow this person is suddenly a little more appealing. The tangible difference is invisible to the naked eye, but you can't deny that this person is vaguely sexier. This wizard has a weird rule, though you can only pay him once. You can't keep giving him money until you're satisfied. You can only pay him one lump sum up front.
How much cash do you give the wizard?
Zero dollars. I like who I am.
13. Every person you have ever slept with is invited to a banquet where you are the guest of honor. No one will be in attendance except you, the collection of your former lovers, and the catering service. After the meal, you are asked to give a fifteen-minute speech to the assembly.
What do you talk about?
That’s just funny. The fact that everyone you ever slept with is invited and you know this and you still go is crazy. If I had to or didn’t know. I would talk about something horribly disgusting. Like having herpes or some STD. Hopefully I have some sort of security or a gun.
14. For reasons that cannot be explained, cats can suddenly read at a twelfth-grade level. They can't talk and they can't write, but they can read silently and understand the text. Many cats love this new skill, because they now have something to do all day while they lay around the house; however, a few cats become depressed, because reading forces them to realize the limitations of their existence (not to mention the utter frustration of being unable to express themselves).
This being the case, do you think the av erage cat would enjoy Garfield, or would cats find this cartoon to be an insulting caricature?
Cats would definitely enjoy this. IF cats were intelligent enough to read at a 12th grade level they would be able to only place the attributes of Garfield on other cats not themselves. Being able to do that makes things really funny.
15. You have a brain tumor. though there is no discomfort at the moment, this tumor would unquestionably kill you in six months. However, your life can (and will) be saved by an operation; the only downside is that there will be a brutal incision to your frontal lobe. After the surgery, you will be significantly less intelligent. You will still be a fully functioning adult, but you will be less logical, you will have a terrible memory, and you will have little ability to understand complex concepts or difficult ideas. The surgery is in two weeks.
How do you spend the next fourteen days?
Telling doctors to fuck off.
16. Someone builds an optical portal that allows you to see a vision of your own life in the future (it's essentially a crystal ball that shows a randomly selected image of what your life will be like in twenty years). You can only see into this portal for thirty seconds. When you finally peer into the crystal, you see yourself in a living room, two decades older than you are today. You are watching a Canadian football game, and you are extremely happy. You are wearing a CFL jersey. Your chair is surrounded by books and magazines that promote the Canadian Football League, and there are CFL pennants covering your walls. You are alone in the room, but you are gleefully muttering about historical moments in Canadian football history. It becomes clear that for some unknown reason you have become obsessed with Canadian football. And this future is static and absolute; no matter what you do, this future will happen. The optical portal is never wrong. This destiny cannot be changed.
The next day, you are flipping through television channels and randomly come across a preseason CFL game between the Toronto Argonauts and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Knowing your inevitable future, do you now watch it?
Yes because this is so funny to me, I might as well get started early.
17. You are sitting in an empty bar (in a town you've never before visited), drinking Bacardi with a soft spoken acquaintance you barely know. After and hour, a third individual walks into the tavern and sits by himself, and you ask you acquaintance who the new man is. "Be careful of that guy," you are told. "He is a man with a past." A few moments later, a fourth person enters the bar; he also sits alone. You ask your acquaintance who this new individual is. "Be careful of that guy, too." he says. "he is a man with no past".
Which of these two people do you trust less?
The man with no past. Everybody has something and if no one knows about it they are definitely hiding something you don’t want to be involved in.
18. You have won a prize. The prize has two options, and you can choose either (but not both). The first option is a year in Europe with a monthly stipend of $2,000. The second option is ten minutes on the moon.
Which option do you select?
Europe. What am I am going to do on the moon and who am I going to do it with. Visiting places is all about the experiences you can take back home with you.
19. Your best friend is taking a nap on the floor of your living room. Suddenly, you are faced with a bizarre existential problem: This friend is going to die unless you kick them (as hard as you can) in the rib cage. If you don't kick them while they slumber, they will never wake up. However, you can never explain this to your friend; if you later inform them that you did this to save their life, they will also die from that. So you have to kick a sleeping friend in the ribs, and you can't tell them why.
Since you cannot tell your friend the truth, what excuse will you fabricate to explain this (seemingly inexplicable ) attack?
My friends know that I am clumsy. I would tell them I tripped. Why get to elaborate.
20. For whatever the reason, two unauthorized movies are made about your life. The first is an independently released documentary, primarily comprised of interviews with people who know you and bootleg footage from you actual life. Critics are describing the documentary as "brutally honest and relentlessly fair." Meanwhile, Columbia Tri-Star has produce d a big-budget biopic of your life, casting major Hollywood stars as you and all your acquaintances; though the movie is based on actual events, screenwriters have taken some liberties with the facts. Critics are split on the artistic merits of this fictionalized account, but audiences love it.
Which film would you be most interested in seeing?
The documentary. My life has all types of stuff that you don’t have to fictionalize to make it entertaining.
21. Imagine you could go back to the age of five and relive the rest of your life, knowing everything that you know now. You will reexperience your entire adolescence with both the cognitive ability of an adult and the memories of everything you've learned from having lived your life previously.
Would you lose your virginity earlier or later than you did the first time around (and by how many years)?
Virginity is a funny thing. Well lets see. I don’t know. I’m fine where it is now.
22. You work in an office. Generally, you are popular with your coworkers. However, you discover that there are currently two rumors circulating in the office gossip mill, and both involve you. The first rumor is that you got drunk at the office holiday party and had sex with one of your married coworkers. This rumor is completely true, but most people don't believe it. The second rumor is that you have been stealing hundreds of dollars of office supplies (and then selling them to cover a gambling debt). This rumor is completely false, but virtually everyone assumes it is factual.
Which of these two rumors is most troubl ing to you?
The one that I have a problem gambling. I don’t want people thinking that I am broke because I am gambling it away. The better story would be that I am stupidly sleeping with a guy that will never leave his wife and… wow my imagination kicked in there. More troubling gambling. Plus if I am slept with this guy. Shit happens. Although that would never happen because I want to get married and if I found out my husband got drunk and slept with someone. There’s going to be bodies.
23. Consider this possibility:
a. Think about deceased TV star John Ritter.
b. Now, pretend Ritter had never become famous. Pretend he was never affected by the trappings of fame, and try to imagine what his personality would have been like.
c. Now, imagine that this person, the unfamous John Ritter, is a character in a situation comedy.
d. Now, you are also a character in this sitcom, and the unfamous John Ritter character is your sitcom father.
e. However, this sitcom is actually your real life. In other words, you are living inside a sitcom: Everything about your life is a construction, featuring the unfamous John Ritter playing himself (in the role of your TV father). But this is not a sitcom. This is your real life.
How would you feel about this?
I feel like this is crazy. I saw that movie with Jim Carey and I am not stable enough for stuff like that people would get hurt.

My Dream
So I had a very vivid and violent dream last night. I had really violent dreams before but this was scary.
I guess I should preface this by saying there was a incident at a club I went to last night that had me thinking this way.
Well I dreamt I was in a nightclub. A very relaxed place that had two or three rooms that people could be in the front part was for dancing and the back was a palce to sit and chill. Well I have in the back when a bunch of guys ran in. I don't know if this was a robbery attempt or what but they all had semi-automatics. They started arguing amongst themselves because that's what dumb criminals do. One of the people in the club said something. Someone started shooting. I have to say I didn't run because they were people at both entrances. Well During the first round of shooting I was the last one to be shot. The first guy had a gun that wasn't a semi-automatic. So I got shot once fell to the ground laid there. I think that this had gone wrong because from what I could tell was that the plan was not to shoot people. That obviously didn't not work out. While laying on the ground I tried pulling out my cell phone to call the police but I Am sure the people that ran out of the front of the club had already done so. So the guy laying next to me actually gets out his phone and calls someone. So I am laying there trying to appear dead because there is more yelling and the shooting this time with semi automatic weapons. This is how I know this is a dream. I get shot again well this round everyone gets shout except the guy who was laying next to me who only got shot in the shoulder before. Well the police storm in and they attempt to go after these guys that are still in the club. Now I think this is some testament to how I feel about the police forces abilities. They start out going toward the shooters. Then a police officers yells about a plan or something. The lady officers goes back to yell at this guy about the plan and that they weren't going to change it. With this moment of confusion and whatever the shooters come out of where ever they were hiding and shoots all the police officers. Now there is silence. Me being nosy tried to move around so I could see what was happening during all of this. Me in the guy next to me are still lying still. The shooters run out of the back. So after laying there for about 20 minutes. The guy next to me gets up, picks up a gun and shoots anyone that seems to be squirming or in general still alive. My thinking is he didn't want anyone to suffer but it was messed up. He walks over to me I roll over to look at him he points the gun at me and I wake up.
Isn't that nice.
Happy fun times in Tamara's head.

Happy New Year
Well this year is going to be good. How do I know because I said so.
Well I made one resolution this year and its the same one from last year.
Don't sabotage myself.
I am going to stick with it until I get it right. It's hard you know. There are things that life throws at you to make you want to quit or makes you doubt yourself but I'm done with that.
A friend of mine said in a email "Fuck 2006. Bring on 2007." I am agreeing with that.
I am going to keep that resolution until I get it right. I challenge everybody to do it too.
Since that resolution is grand (as I think they should be)I am going to set sub-goals.
I'll start a list here (why not).
1. Write more. Complete one of my books.
2. Lose 25 lbs.
3. Do more Tamara things.
4. Read more. I haven't completed a good book in a while.
5. Listen to more music.
6. Learn to cook something new at least monthly.
I will continue to add to this list until the end of the year I guess.

A New (Bitter) Start
I am going to try harder and I know I have to finish the story from about a million weeks ago.
But right now I have another dilemma. Weight loss. I know I can do it but I just don't want to try.
First off exercise and I guess that is not the bad part. Except for the sweating and having to go somewhere to sweat in front of people. Still I haven't been doing it and that's a problem.
The biggest problem is food. It is not that I am an emotional eater, I don't have food problems like that. I do like food a lot and not the good stuff. I'll eat the good stuff and thats fine but I want to eat that in conjunction with the bad stuff. When I say "bad" I mean bad. Like deep fried items, cheese, chicken, fries. Oh the things that can be deep fried.
I have a love hate relationship with dairy. I love it my body hates it. I am lactose intolerant and its getting worse.
I would like to have something deep fried right now like a chimichanga or something. Man is my life rough. All I want to do right now is eat.
Now that I am bored and a little bitter about having to change my life I will list off the things that I have done and stuck with.
Whole grains - I buy the pasta. Whole grain pasta and its not bad but something has happened. I didn't eat pasta that often and now I eat it even less.
Portion control - Remember when I said I like to eat. I eat less because I am full quicker but I don't always like it.
I am trying to lay off the chips. I am pissed that I even thought about chips now because this chip idea will haunt me for weeks and with chips comes dip. I try to back away.
I am a salt addict and I am trying to cut back. Trying is the word. I cook with less salt that is a big step for me since I used to over salt everything.
This is not going well because I am starving right now.
Boy am I in trouble.

I hate computers
I have not been blogging much because one I have been busy and my computer at home is broken.
I know it is always broken but it has its issues. Oh well I want to go home now, just a hour to go.
Out to find a second job. I have some weird cursor thing happening and I don't like it.

Wine Party Chicago 2006
Well we set out, after missing our train, for an adventure. Car rides for me equals excessive sleeping. Not a big deal. I saw some Christmas lights and oohhed and awwwed so that part was fun.
We get to Chicago and right away start drinking wine before all the guests arrived because the purpose of the trip was to drink wine (ok and to visit Tim).
Were having a good time drinking and catching up and everyone eventually showed up. Were having fun and I go sit on the couch and since my brain remember that I was in a car for a while earlier in the day I took a little nap. Again. Napping IS fun. After my nap and being made fun of for taking a nap. I do more drinking of the wine and talking to people. I am a social butterfly.
We are playing video games because some people I know can't put down their Nintendo DS(s). Well we played the Wii and I suck at Wii tennis. Oh well I participated and that is all that counts.
Well I think somewhere in the time I was napping someone slipped Meeks a crazy pill.
Things were getting rowdy and in order to remedy the situation we decide to shut down all loud activity and talk quietly.
I went a away for a little bit and here's what I found; http://www.localhistories.org/sayings.html
Back to the story.
Meeks who is not done partying or whatever decides to talk and talk and talk until sleep was the best option.
I need to take a break so I guess I will call this part 1.

Things were getting rowdy and in order to remedy the situation we decide to shut down all loud activity and talk quietly.
I went a away for a little bit and here's what I found; http://www.localhistories.org/sayings.html
Back to the story.
Meeks who is not done partying or whatever decides to talk and talk and talk until sleep was the best option.
I need to take a break so I guess I will call this part 1.

My life is dull!!
How do I know this? Well I was reading John Mayer's blog . While reading the blog I realized that I didn't know where all my interesting things went. Not that I am particularly in need of drama or anything, I just want something interesting.
I know when this all started and it was sometime in January. The downfall of all things fun in my life.
Well I have to change that. I am going to start going on adventures and I am not going alone. So be prepared because I am taking some of you with me.

What a day!!
So I spend some time trying to update my web site. I had a wonderful idea but lost a lot of work in the process because I have my moments of computer illiteracy. I really don't understand my ability to be such a doofus sometimes. Thanksgiving is coming up and I am excited my sister, niece and nephew are going to be in town. Boy do I want to leave work.

New TV show
Well I thought that my need to watch multiple tv shows was bad. I now have a new show that I am hooked to. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. I normally have to give shows a couple episodes but this one first show and I was hooked.
Well that's it.
Well that's it.

The obsession is not over.
I have been trying to spare you guys but I can't hold it in any longer.
I'm still very much amused by John Mayer. After reading his blog I decided to post again with a picture.
This one is fun. Summer with boats. I want that back. It hasn't snowed yet and I am complaining already but I don't like winter.
So there is this VW commercial with John Mayer. You all should watch it.
Ok more about John later. I wonder what he would think of having back-up dancers follow him around all day.

Candy Candy Candy Candy
Well sour patch kids are awesome. I have almost ate an entire bag. I am trying to ration them over a few days but it does seems to work out.
The news is in: People are idiots. The Playstation 3 is not worth getting yourself worked into a tizzy and trampling people over.
Speaking of tizzies, all the celebrities are getting themselves worked up over Tom and Katie's wedding.
For all of you that are Heroes watchers, I am one episode away from being all catch up. I stayed up past my bed time to watch a few episodes. I am still confused about Nikki and when did the kid find out she had a split personality. Who knows. Oh well.

People's Sexiest Man Alive
They really made a good pick with George Clooney. They did have other sexy men that they can keep:
Patrick Dempsey
Leonardo DiCaprio
Johnny Depp
The ballot is still out about John Krasinski (but I am sure he is on this list)
I'll take the others.
I need to pick up People so I can see all of them, I'll report back then.

Pie Throwing
Is absolutely brilliant. Well a bunch of people got pies thrown at them today in the name of charity. I wasn't not one of them but still managed to be covered in shaving cream. It was a fun time.
Oh I am still waiting, for ideas that is.

A challenge it is...
but not a sports challenge. Everyone who knows me knows that I only like sports because of the food/alcohol/men involved with sports.
So what do you want to know. Oh I can't tell you about anything on tv after 10pm because I go to bed. Getting old.

I need help...
not professional help like some of you make think. The entries are becoming further and further apart. I gots nothing. You know what my fall back is goiing to be if I gots nothing. John Mayer. I haven't forgotten about him. He hasn't written much on his blog lately and thatmakes me a little sad. Well give me something new to think about and I will write new and exciting stuff.

A very creepy mall.
Well I went to Bayshore town center to look for a part-time job today. There isn't a shortage of them at all but I was too busy looking at everything. I have been to malls before with the same creepy feeling but this made me think of a book I once read about Celebration, FL. I don't know I will work there but I will have to watch out for my soul. I bet the phantom street sweeper eat souls, just like the sub-basement.

I can't believe it...
I don't know if anybody realized that yesterday was election day but I am skeptical that Britney Spears knew. As she filed for divorce from her loser husband. Who knows maybe she couldn't handle his new found success (I am really kidding).
This definitely tops the Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe separation.
I love celebrities, they are so funny.

More serious business
I know that i have to vote but why do those poll volunteers make it so hard. My polling location always gets the ones that are confused and have no clue why they are there. So I didn't have many of the elderly this time around but the rest of them made up for it. One lady actually raised her voice, then apologize when she realized she was wrong.
Boy I can't wait to do that again.
Boy I can't wait to do that again.
Well Well...
So I saw some video of thed party. I really should be embarassed but why bother? I kissed a few people. Maybe even slipped them some tongue. I do love the video of my trying to kiss JoAnne with me telling her about "magic". Anyway. You know I only make out with people that I like or that I think is hot. You categorize yourself in the I like or hot category.
Well fun times.
What I learned from the videos:
I seem a little slutty in videos but in real life I am a prude.
JoAnne really likes it when you tell her about the magic.
Pam is really mean for getting that all on camera.
Bethany asks permission before she attacks someone else's boyfriend.
I sure know how to get drunk.
C'est la vie.

Well the pictures are starting to pop up and although I remember most of the night there are details that are missing. Well the pictures tell me that I had fun.

Some things that the pictures tell me...
Perkins is a fun time. I don't know if we danced at all but oh well.
I am a touchy drunk.
Green drink super awesome in slushie format.
There was a lot of kissing and licking.
We like pictures.

The party is over and...
wow. That's what I have to say. There were some stellar performances. I don't know if I should out anybody here. I think the slushy machine was a mistake. I got drunk so something. I did a shot of tequila for Andy Meeks and a shot of Jack in memory of Castner. I can tell you I had a fun time. I had plans to get drunk and I did. Well I have to thank Chet for making sure I slept somewhere safe and for breakfast/lunch. I can't believe I slept until noon. Well shit happens.
I apologize if I gave anybody a hickey last night. I can be a bit of a biter. Sorry.
Anyway. I touched people inappropriately but they liked it. I was touched inappropriately and I am sure I liked it to.
Shane sure knows how to throw a bash. I was happy to see faces that I don't normally see.
Oh man. Well I am glad I wasn't violent last night... but I was friendly.
I will stick to the statement that I behaved myself. You guys can have your own opinions.
ted.

I really can't help myself...
So Beth walks in the office right as I open up John Mayer's blog. I really can't help myself. So Beth says that I should broaden my blogging horizons and open it up to topics less John Mayer related. The thing ig the entire internet (at least the parts that I visit often) remind me of him. It may be getting to the point where he needs that restraining order.
I am going to may an effort to do more. I am starting to get a nice obsession with Lindsey Lohan, boy does she and her doings entertain.
