My new obsession.
The video is nothing, but you can hear the song. Discovered it while shuffling through iTunes. After sifting through FOUR Christmas songs in a row. NO, iTunes, don't you know it's NOT Christmas after all?!
Rearranging my room has become a little bit of a headache. Besides the fact that it pretty much solidifies the fact that I'll be living with my Ma for an extended amount of time, I just don't know the best way to arrange it. Hm. I am sure I'll end up moving everything again in a few days.
I got to sleep in today! For the first time in about two weeks. It was very exciting. It was necessary, too, because I had to stay up till 2, waiting for my sheets to dry. Dumb.
I've said it once and I'll say it again: I love Ingrid Michaelson. If she doesn't tour near KC this summer/fall I will throw a fit. Missing her concert the summer I studied abroad in Italy broke my heart. And I was in ITALY. Sheesh.
Attention friends: Let's go on a cruise. I just read about one in my REAL SIMPLE MARCH ISSUE THAT I GOT IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY(!!) which has an ice bar, the Blue Man Group, and is just freaking cool. So...let's get out of here with the money I don't have and enjoy some time away from Kansas. Yes? Okay, great.
Had a job interview yesterday. Really don't think I'm an ideal candidate. And the search continues...
9.2.10

so everybody will ask what became of you
Good Morning.
I just finished experiencing my first Chick-fil-A breakfast. Not a huge fan of the coffee, but the baby hashbrown bites and chicken biscuit are most excellent. I love indulging in the AM. My excuse: I was up at 5:30 and on my way home from taking my niece to school, there's a Chick-fil-A. Every day I pass it I think "I wonder what their breakfast is like" and Since I have to be at work from 10 to 1 today, I figure it's too early to eat lunch - the perfect opportunity to partake in the breakfast.
Recent awesome discovery: the Jimmy Eat World station on Pandora. It. is. perfect.
Other awesome discovery: http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/18933
Looks like I really need to save up money for shows in NYC!
The job hunt continues. Yesterday, the variety of jobs I applied for was hilarious. A customer service rep at a hotel, a receptionist at a vet office, and an office claims rep for an insurance company. Anything goes, ya know? Crossing my fingers for at least an email repyly. Any recognition is nice.
Sad thing: My limited edition favey fave shower gel from LUSH that you can only get online is OUT OF STOCK. It seriously affected my mood in a most negative way the other night. Sigh.
This afternoon: watching Zombieland. Holler. Thank you, Netflix, for letting it arrive the day the DVD was released. Boom.
And: LOST. OMG. (don't worry, that's all I'll say...no spoilers here)
SO WON'T YOU KILL ME, SO I DIE HAPPY
...see? That Pandora station rocks. As cheesy/dumb as that song is. I still love it.
EDIT: This is why I love children.

26.1.10
baby's got blue eyes
I want to go to there*: http://promisespromisesbroadway.com/google.html
I'm sorry...Kristin Chenowith (whose autobiography I love and am almost finished with) aka AMAZING and Sean Hayes (who DOESN'T love that guy) in a NEIL SIMON written MUSICAL COMEDY?!
Take me. Please. I have the time, just not the money. I can even get a FREE FLIGHT there. Opening night or sometime within the first month and half of it being open would be swell, since who knows how long they'll keep those two in the cast. OH MY LANTA!
What's even more fun about this is that I know exactly where the theater is. If memory serves me right, it's down the street from Letterman. Yes, DAVID Letterman. Er...where his show is, anyway.
/geekingout.
Back to reality...
Discovery:
iPod shuffling may result in one being completely creeped out at how it reads your mind in the best and worst ways.
Examples:
"Home, home, where I wanted to go" -clocks, coldplay
"So I can be for you what you want to see, I got the gestures and sounds, got the timing down, it's uncanny yeah, you'd think it was me" -best immitation of myself, ben folds
"It's gotten late and now I want to be alone" -steadier footing, death cab
"maybe I'm a girl, maybe I'm a lonely girl who's in the middle of something that she doesn't really understand, maybe I'm a girl and maybe you're the only man who could ever help me, baby won't you help me understand" -maybe i'm amazed, jem
"And then I'll cry so hard to these sad songs, and the words still ring, once here now gone, and they echo through my head everyday, and I dont think they'll ever go away" -november, azure ray
"When I am alone, when I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone, when I've lost all care for the things I own, that's when I miss you, that's when I miss you, that's when I miss you, you who are my home, you who are my home, and here is what I know now,here is what I know now, goes like this.. In your love, my salvation lies in your love" -orange sky, alexi murdoch
"Cause life would be just like this movie and I would never feel alone, in fact, all the problems that I have would go away and I would forget how to feel sad" -movie stars and supermodels, the rocket summer
"Nobody said it was easy, it's such a shame for us to part, nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be this hard, oh take me back to the start" -the scientist, coldplay
...This is the collection of the songs from my drive back to KC last night. Yes, I took the time to find them on my iPod. Nerdy? Maybe. But I was amazed** as how topical and true to the moment they were in my life. Pretty much awesome.
In any event, watch out for putting your iPod on shuffle.
Update: I am almost 100% better. Great. Freakin. News. I even went to work today. Then, back to Topeka tomorrow.
Q: When will I ever stay in one place for longer than a two weeks at a time?
A: Never.
*Name who I am quoting and you win my heart.
**I use the word amazed here because I like it, not because I heard the song "Maybe I'm Amazed" ...or maybe I was subconsciously brainwashed.

22.1.10
wake up in the mornin' feeling like p diddy
...or wake up with your eye sealed shut from PINK EYE.
I usually pride myself on having a great immune system. I don't get sick that often. UNTIL NOW.
September: sick for a week, lost voice, drank a lot of gatorade, threw up.
December: stomach flu on xmas eve.
January: sick for six days (and counting) with a fever, sore throat, chills, headaches, ear aches, coughing up sickness, pink eye in both eyes, loss of voice (for three days and counting).
THIS HAS TO STOP.
Not only am I missing work, but I can't do much without feeling extremely tired. In addition, I am supposed to visit the little apple this weekend and it probably isn't going to happen. WHY!
This is when I am actually kind of glad I don't have a "real" job, because I would be worthless and infecting all kinds of people right now. Seriously.
Okay, enough complaining about my immune system being a FAKE.
Check this out: http://sleeptalkinman.blogspot.com/
Also, you should all be aware that there is only a week and two days left in January.
How many of you recognize this?
My mom got me that movie when I was really sick in elementary school and then I became obsessed with it. Just watching it brings back so many memories...like the fact I know all the words. Pathetic? Maybe.
You better believe I'm watching it today, whenever I wake up from passing out quite soon from the drugs I'm on.

and i'm telling you
Okay, I know.
Two posts in one day is a little ridic.
But.
I just turned on the TV to the Food Network and it's the part of a show where they eliminate or keep people for a cooking challenge.
When they announced someone winning a challenge, they played THE SAME MUSIC they play at the end of almost every America's Next Top Model episode!
Ohmygosh! Get some creativity people!
The music I am talking about: cue this video of 7:10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHwdP6Kaw3U
And, now, for a decadent dinner: Pizza Rolls (I know you're jealous, Jenna - P.S. you left your calamari here)

never gonna get it
Sick. Again. This is so dumb.
When I am sick I feel guilty all day. I have so many things I could be doing, but I CAN'T because I'm freaking tired and sickly. Even reading just makes me sleepy. I'm about to take a nap because I watched a movie (I know, it doesn't make sense).
Netflix is about over for me. I keep getting independent movies that are subpar. I mean it sincerely when I say about 65% of the population can write better movies than a lot of the independent films out there. Maybe I don't relate to them because they are about drugs and sex and masturbating and other things that I'm not necessarily an expert on, but really?
Also, have you noticed that almost all independent films are just so gosh darn depressing? Yikes.
In other news, I forgot how much I really enjoy Philippians. Finished re-reading that guy last night. So good. Inspired me to do some creative projects with verses and such. We'll see how that goes.
Yesterday, my Mom and I got an "I miss you" card in the mail. It was cute. Until we realized it was from Proactiv - yes, the acne treatment stuff. GET REAL. My Mom was like "too bad it pretty much made your face worse" and I was all "yeah, dude."
Can you tell I've been reading dooce.com? Sometimes the way she phrases things gets into my head. I like it, though. Oh - Megan and I decided my dream job is to be a professional blogger. So get ready for that.
You know which actor I really enjoy but often forget about? Bill Murray.
Oh, and don't worry. I made it less than two weeks into the new year before I bought a new bra. I swear, you guys, it's like my guilty pleasure. Dangit, Aerie, why are you so freaking awesome?!
And, no need to fear, I finally purchased my 2010 calendar. Phew. It's PaperSource and it's so cute with it's pool blue recycled leather binding. Love.
Apologies for the lack of updating. I just never know if you people read this thing anyway. HA.
P.S. I also had my first interview of 2010. No, it was not successful.

5.1.10
make somebody somebody, soon
...and a happy new year!
It's almost a week into twenty ten. I still don't have a planner. This is a problem.
Updates: stomach flu for Christmas Eve, AWESOME Christmas, stellar week in Topeka/Manhattan, seeing Clint seven days in a row was awesome (hadn't happened since and won't happen again until summer), got a new phone, and LUSH is keeping me a regular part time employee - oo oo! Very excited.
Started reading a new book. It's probably going to be my new favorite.
Applied for four jobs today. On a roll.
Interesting story:
I have never had prescription medication in my life, besides silly antibiotics when I was younger. Now, I have three prescriptions for my acne (fun, right?) and it's the ONE TIME I am in health insurance limbo. So, if you could pray that I don't get hurt or sick or anything until my health insurance psychos finally figure everything out and I am no longer and walking time bomb, that would be great. Oh, and did I mention I'm supposed to get my prescriptions refilled THIS WEEK. Doubt that'll be able to happen without insurance...oh, adulthood. You win again.
Random fact: There is an irritation on my skin right by the outside corner of my left eye. Because of this, it looks like I have a blood tear coming out of my eye. It's kind of creepy.
Today, I am thankful for Ingrid Michaselson. She's all I listen to anymore, really.
P.S. If I ever get famous* I am totally still going to write in a blog.
*not that I'm expecting to be, but I like it when famous people do that.
