Blahbity blahbity blah blah blah-the post in which I need to shut my face

The whole reason I started this blog was to chronicle the events of my life. I wanted to be able to catalog everything that happened so that I could look back and remember it. Now I realize I was doing it more because I use writing as my preferred form of therapy. That, you see, is a problem. I chose a public forum on which to write my most private thoughts and feelings. Also when I'm actually going through the situation that warrents the writing it is hard for me to do so because I either a)feel like I won't do the event justice and will somehow ruin it by writing about it or b) I clam up and am too upset/depressed/elated/overjoyed..(whatever, you get the picture) to write about it. So I end up feeling like this blog isn't a true representation of "me". It's just a huge pile of posts about why I couldn't post or vague suggestions as to what happened but never really writing about them.
So basically? FAIL
But as always I will try to do better and I will try to post more and write about whats going on even if I feel like I don't want to because if I don't do something then all I'll have is a million years worth of posts that say "whoops sorry I didn't post, the event is still too raw" followed by "the situation is over and it all worked out". Not exactly the in depth chronicling of life that I'd like to have here.

Me

wow my posting has been light lately...or, you know, virtually non-existent. So I'm at work, it's Friday, and hardly anyone is in so I'm doing what I do most often to keep myself occupied--browsing the quotes on photobucket. Yeah I'm cool. Anyways I decided to do a post describing myself in only said quotes so without further ado...

">" border="0" alt="" />





























Here are two I couldn't find on photobucket
"Summer has snuck up again on me and my giant ass"
"I can hardly wait to see and meticulously judge people at my high school reunion"

and finally, my favorite which has absolutely nothing to do with anything...

"Random" maybe this is one for the blog of uneccessary quotation marks

Just a quick post before I go to class to say that I am still alive and also over half of my posts are labeled "random" so does the fact that they are the majority of my posts negate the randomness?

Happy 100th post to me

Still havin a kinda blah day blah blah blah feeling sorry for myself etc. But on a more exciting note yesterday was my 100th post, yea me!!!!! I honestly thought that this would go by the wayside after a couple posts but I'm truly glad it hasn't!!!

Calendar Girl

Damn a whole week slipped by! I realized I forgot to post Sunday and then, true to my only child perfectionist personality, I decided well since I'm not doing very well at this whole posting everyday in November thing why don't I just go ahead and skip A WHOLE MOTHERFUCKING WEEK!!!!! Blogging is funny like that, I just can't do it if I don't "feel" it ya know what I mean?
Anyways my life is extremely boring as usual except I've been working on an adorable project and the story behind it goes a little something like this: my dog Roxie is an American Eskimo and my grandpa loves her to bits and pieces, he always doggie-sits if we aren't in town (and cooks her actual beef stew every night for dinner might I add!) and in his younger days he would come to our house everyday at noon just to take her for a walk. All this to say LOVE. There is much of it between my grandpa and Roxie. So every year my grandpa gets an American Eskimo calendar for Christmas and then throughout the year he'll make comments like "This months picture looks just like Roxie" or "There are two puppies in this months picture, I wonder what Roxie looked like as a puppy" but lately the calendars have just been repeats and we CANNOT have that so I devised a genius plan to dress Roxie up and do a photo shoot for each month and make a real Roxie calendar so that every month the picture can look "just like Roxie". Without further ado here are a few of said pictures, we're still working on the others and these still need to be edited but I didn't want to kill you with too much adorable :)

We started with Christmas (December) and I found this adorable Mrs. Claus ensemble at the place that rhymes with Farget for the bargain price of $9.99 (For that price she's wearing it for every holiday from now on!)


Next we did Halloween (October)and as you can see she's pleased as punch to be outside in front of the whole world dressed like a jack-o-lantern, her glare could melt steel.


And today we did a beach shot (for some summer month)it is one of my favorites


We also tried to get her to lay in a roaster pan surrounded by veggies for Thanksgiving (November) but this is all we got so I think we'll be re-shooting.


And just for good measure and because it's been so long since I've posted any pictures here are some cute candids of the little lizard butt.





And never to be left out my other dog Maggie (aka The Maggers, Maggerific, Mag-sta, Mag-it, Mag-pie, Mag-ma, Mag-net (as in "Oh shit! Maggie is coming to visit we better "Magnatize" the house hahaha), Magsumus, Margaret (when she's in trouble), and Magatha Christy)

All the cool kids are participating in NaBloPoMo so I had to too

I had the great idea to do a blog post about me (not that I'm egocentric or anything) just some random facts about myself and blah blah blah.

1) I am absolutely 100% not a morning person. I have no classes scheduled before 10:30 and sometimes I'm late to those ones.

2) I brush my teeth in the shower

3) I always buy books instead of getting them from the library because I never take them back and end up paying for them anyways so I just eliminate the middle man. Also, it just feels better owning a book, though I'm not entirely sure why.

4) I hate the way plastic containers smell after they have held food

5) I also hate the smell of freezer burn

6) I prefer the indoors to the outdoors most of the time

7) I think watching a movie at home is never the same as watching it in a theater (that being said I hardly ever go to the movies because it's so freakin expensive)

8) Sometimes when my dog is sleeping (she's white) and I'm bored I color patches of her hair with a marker just for fun (I know I'm terrible report me this instant!)

9) I loooove organizing and re-organizing stuff

10) Okay and lastly, (this one is really weird and gross) I always look at my nail clippings after I clip them. I have no idea why I do this but it fascinates me to see how long they were and basically I'm a nutcase lol


Oh and by the way I just joined NaBloPoMo. I know, I know, I'm always a day late and a dollar short but oh well better late than never

Yea I'm just a little bit lame

Oh my gosh I got 3 comments yesterday you have noooo idea how excited that makes me (I may have even teared up a little bit or jumped up and down on my bed with joy)even if you haven't technically been reading and only commented b/c i commented on your blog IDONTEVENCAREBECAUSEIHAVETHREEWHOLEMOTHERFUCKINGCOMMENTS. So thank you for your comments and please by all means continue reading and commenting!

Oh yeah and as an aside the most stupid thing I have heard lately was a young man on Judge Judy swearing up and down that he didn't steal his former friends backpack but when the former-friend described the contents the defendant apparently disagreed and shouted out "NO there was no i-pod in there!" Suffice it to say the plaintiff won and Judge Judy ripped the defendant a new one.

Lurkers, today's your day to de-lurk!!

As I'm sure you all know today, as noted above, is The Great Mofo Delurk 2007. This means that if you read this please for the love of all that is good and right in the world leave a mother fucking comment. Hmmm I doubt that anyone actually reads this because lets face it due to the fact that I rarely (read never) comment anywhere no one probably knows its here. And on the off chance people do know it's here they are probably sick of my feeble attempts at wittiness. Even if that is the case comment and tell me and I promise to do likewise. Thanks

p.s. if you don't want to just randomly comment about how un-funny I am or how cute my dogs are etc. let me give you a topic for discussion as all the cool kids seem to be doing: Stupid things you have heard other people say that are so amazingly dumb they make you want to rip off your own face. NOW COMMENT

I like to call this "bullshit medley", catchy no?

Ok so how about the time I promised to write about life lessons, I'm gonna amend that to say: I am a big fat pretentious idiot who knows nothing about life and should therefore shut the fuck up and stop acting like a know it all.

Anyways moving on I have several topics that I thought would make for interesting blog entries (I sunk to new levels when I started keeping a sticky note beside my desk with topics on it) so following is a medley of crap that I think about.

Recently I was thinking about how one time my mom told me that she finds it hard to believe in God, or a higher power, because if there was such a power why did my grandmother, who was a great woman, die. I thought about that for a minute and for me it is the exact opposite. I believe in God because he gives us strength to get through such situations and teaches us innumerable lessons along the way. I am not saying that everyone should feel the same way as me, I feel that religion is a personal choice and I would never judge anyone because of it, but I just wanted to note how the same situation can be perceived so very differently by people. If no one ever suffered or had bad things happen than how would we grow and learn; why would we need God? Obviously no one wants to watch a loved one die or have negative things happen but I'm of the belief system that it all happens for a reason. Ask me this again if something happens to someone with whom I'm close or myself and my opinion may be a bit different but I would like to hope not. Disclaimer: this is not to say that I handle suffering or death or problems well at all because I'm pretty much a blubbering fool.

Next topic of discussion, yard sales. Some of the stuff people try to sell should just be lying in a dumpster somewhere. If you honestly think you're going to get someone to pay you $5 for your stained, cat hair covered, sweater that your aunt Matilda knit for you back in 1985 think again. What is wrong with you people???? Yard sales can be ok but the ones with table upon table of stupid shit like happy meal toys that are half chewed really piss me off, just give it up and throw your trash away instead of wasting your and everyone elses time. Last week I was driving around and I saw a person trying to sell, no joke, a trophy (with their name on it nonetheless) and the whole top half broken off for the bargain price of $2.50, get a life.

In other news, I commented on my first blog today and I couldn't start with just some little tiny blog, no no no not me I had to comment on a big one. It's not like anyone will even know who I am but still I get so nervous that I'll make an ass out of myself somehow that I don't even like to comment on blogs, I'm a loser I know, but the entry was about weird men on tv that we're attracted to and I immediately remembered this post and just had to share.

Okay I just wanted to make note of how weird it is that I actually dreamt a blogging related dream last night. The dream lasted like, literally, two seconds and all it consisted of was me finding a note written by my co-worker to my boss regarding me that had yesterday's date and read "Couldn't stop blogging". Totally random and weird especially since my co-worker is old and probably doesn't even know what a blog is.

On another completely random note, the weather here has been absolutely a-fucking-mazing; its been sunny and hot which is just the way I prefer weather to be. On Sunday I went to my dad's new camper (me, the queen of hating the outdoors and all things camp related) but it was okay because his campground is fairly civilized (as much as a campground can be) and has a very lovely swimming pool and even a movie theater. So I spent my day laying in the hot, hot, sun and wading into the pool every once in a while, all while reading this weeks edition of US Weekly (speaking of which holy crap Nicole Richie is pregnant!). I was watching Last Comic Standing last week and this girl pretty much summed up what I perceive to be the "camping experience". She said: "It's pretty much a bunch of people who don't live in trailer parks but like to vacation at one." Not saying that there's anything wrong with living in a trailer park because my dad totally does (he lives in one and vacations in one; double classy)its just not my cup of tea (camping, not living in a mobile home)

Well I was just thinking about what to title this post but blogger must have known that I got nothin because it won't let me type in a title. Hmmm we'll see how that pan's out.

Success

And the perfect template has been found!!!! It took forever but I love it!!! Come, read, comment!!!

template-schmemplate

Well I'm still working on updating my template, this one is cute (pink flower one) but slightly busy and needs a lot of tweeking so it'll either be fixed soon or there'll be a new one' either way I'm striving for improvement, here's hoping I don't blow up my computer!!!

Aspirations

Ok so as I was signing on to blogger today the "blogs of note" caught my eye. My God those blogs are amazing. That's what I want to be. I want to have an original and beautiful, abstract, and unique blog. I don't want to be so mundane, I long to stand out, but I simply don't have the time or the talent just yet. So bear with me on my journey to become amazing and influential. Until then we'll stick with boring and average because I'd rather write something than nothing at all :)

Hello

Ok so I have decided to start this blog because I read an insane number of them and thought it would be fun to start one for myself; you know just to share the day to day crap that comprises my life because I'm sure everyone is just dying to know...NOT! But hey, this is for me and not anyone else so I will make the obligatory promise to try and update at least a few times a week and finish this entry for now because I am at work and believe it or not they have this rule about actually working while I'm on the clock (what the hell is that all about?) Anyways more to come later, much much more!
