Just Dance

Prepare for randomness.

I am so in love with Booger. I don't know how I am going to give her cute self back to the shelter when they call me. I seriously can't get enough of her. And it's weird because I am actually ok with all her nonsense. I am ok with taking her out at 2 in the morning and I'm ok with her peeing in my bed. Gross, I know..but don't worry, I change and wash the sheets asap. But how crazy is that?! I guess I just have a huge soft spot for incredibly cute things. Also, I get so happy because she totally recgoninzes that I'm her mom. She was whining in the car when someone else was holding her but she shut right up when I got her. And she gives me good morning kisses and snuggles with me at bedtime. SO PRECIOUS! I can't STAND it! She seriously is the sunshine of my life. Maybe I should have named her Sunshine. Hm. A woman came in for a drug test today named Sunshine. She wasn't all that sunny though. Her case worker definitely wasn't..she was a total bitch. Moving on. This love kind of scares me because it makes me realize that IF I ever have kids (which I don't want to do) then I will be one of those crazy moms that takes a million pictures of her kids, thinks they are the greatest kids ever in life and makes them dress up in dumb outfits just for a cute photo op. And that is exactly why I don't want to have babies...I do NOT want to be that crazy mom! But I am! And now I'm posting videos. Oh goodness..what have I become?

This video doesn't showcase her full cuteness...kind of when she falls. So imagine this cuteness times 100.

Ok, some work ridiculousness...you have to have a picture ID to get a test done. Duh. You can't waltz in here, claiming to be whoever and expect to take a drug test without proving it. For some reason, this causes problems for lots of people and we have issues with it all the time. People come up with creative solutions and sometimes ask if a social security card or birth certificate will work. Good try, but those don't have pictures, so no. One lady called last week and said she didn't have a photo ID, but she did have her marriage license and wanted to know if that would work instead. WHAT???!!!! People are so crazy! And ridiculous! I mean really. I love it. Some people.

I got a new car! Yay! Oh, wait, back up. Ralph was fixed...he got a new radiator and has been up and running since last week. But, long story short, he might not make it much longer and so I got a new one. And it's an AUDI! Ooooooo, fancy! I know, I feel so special! I start driving it sometime soon..it still needs plates and insurance. And a name of course, so send some suggestions my way. I think it's a she.

Soccer update: U13 is over. We were number 8 and lost to the number 9 time tonight and are therefore out of the playoffs. I will not lie and say I'm not sad. I am ready for soccer to be over. For one thing, it's freezing. Also, I'm tired of running all over the place trying to coach both games by myself. It's exhausting. U18 starts in the playoffs next week and we're tied for first right now, so things could get exciting. We'll see.

Yay Halloween this weekend! Still haven't figured out what I'm going to be. We'll see I guess.

Boo cold weather. Yay fair next week!

The title is my new song for the day. It's by Lady Gaga. She's awesome. It's also what I want to do with my life.

Peace out homeslice.

Meet Booger

OH. MY. GOSH. Is she not the absolute cutest thing you have EVER seen in your life? Yes she is. Don't deny it. And she is even sweeter in person than she is in the this precious picture. And yes, her name is Booger. It is an excellent name and she loves it. She told me. We are very tight. She pooped in my bed and I still love her. She wakes me up three times a night and I still love her. She has tried to eat all my extremities as well as my hair and I STILL love her. That is how tight we are. Sadly, though, she is not mine forever. I am a foster puppy parent so I will only have her for two or three weeks. But honestly, I think that will be enough. Puppies are kind of like babies to me...they are super cute for a little bit and then they get old. We'll see how things go with Booger, but I really don't think I am going to be able to keep her. But for right now, she and I are having a fabulous time at work. And she hasn't pooped inside once today! She has tried to eat my shoelaces multiple times though.

So, in other news...these last couple of days have been a roller coaster. I got the call about Booger on Sunday and I was all, yay! But then later that day the radiator on my car blew and now it's undriveable and that's all, booooooo. But then, today I got a call from the egg place and I got matched again, so I can donate again! YAY! See, roller coaster. But mainly good things. I will be ok without a car for now, but I really wanted to go to Jacksonville this weekend but I don't know if that is going to happen now since my car might not be fixed by Friday. DOUBLE BOOOO. :( :(. I want to go so bad! I've been planning it for awhile. Since right after all my other plans were officially squashed via text message. But, to end on a good note, the U13 team TIED last night! Which means they DIDN'T LOSE! HOORAY! And, we scored THREE goals! That's huge! More than the rest of the season combined, I think. The U18 tied as well, which was disappointing because that is our first not win...but it's not a loss, so we're cool.

Ok, well keep your fingers crossed for Ralph (my car) and maybe when he's fixed I'll come visit YOU! Get excited, whoever you are.

Peace...and hair grease.

Also, does anyone know how to make things go on both sides of the blog? I want to get some more lists going.

Best Week Ever

Only not really. It was actually a pretty terrible week. But it's over now and next week will be better. Really, I was just watching Best Week Ever on VH1 and that show is hilarious! I kind of have this love/hate relationship with VH1. I am totally in love with some of the shows...like Best Week Ever, I Love the 80s (and 90s, 70s and all the spin offs) and the fact they are playing Drumline on Saturday afternoon. However, some of the shows are SO lame. Like, it hurts me to watch them. The only time I ever do is when I see clips on other shows or Liz is watching one of them and I happen to pass through the living room. Other than that, I steer clear. I tend to get really emotionally involved when I watch TV. It' not a good thing. I can't stand watching people look stupid or embarrass themselves. I also really hate watching people argue. I think that might have something to do with listening to my parents argue a lot as a kid, but it makes me cringe. That is why I had such a hard time watching the debate on Wednesday. I tried, I really did. I feel like that is what I'm supposed to be doing as an educated American...watching the debate and then having opinions and discussing it afterwards. But for the most part, I couldn't deal with it. I mean, I think politics is stupid anyways. GASP! I know, so unAmerican...but no one tells the truth and everyone is full of bologna and the fact that Sarah Palin and her big moron self is even on the ticket just makes sad for the entire political system. Seeing her on SNL made me like her even less. Don't get me wrong though, I am pretty excited about getting to take part in an unprecedentedly (is that a word?) exciting and close race. I think whatever happens is going to be crazy and it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. But, whatever, hopefully I won't even be around when the new president is inaugurated. Still really hoping to be out of the country as soon as possible.

Not much going on this weekend. The weather was bad yesterday, but it is back to being amazing today. I was considering a divorce for a bit, but I think we are going to be able to work things out.

I watched October Sky this weekend. Back in high school, that was my favorite movie. I used to watch it like, everyday. So weird, right? I don't know what it was, but I loved it! I think I was probably the only high schooler that was in love with it, thus probably making me Jake Gyllenhaal's first fan. So he should probably come find me and marry me. I'll be here waiting Jake! Also I love the music in it. We can dance to it at our wedding. It'll be awesome.

I am so irritated with some of the stupid people that I've been talking to about living here. Some people are so rude and retarded and I don't understand how they don't know proper etiquette when it comes to conversing with someone about possibly living in their house. If you say you are going to come by at 2:00, fucking come by at 2:00 or at least call and say you aren't going to be able to make it. It is not that hard assholes.

AH! The Animal Shelter just called me and told me I get to be a foster parent for a puppy for the next two weeks!!! So exciting! This could be disastrous, but I'm thinking it could be super fun as well. Woo hoo, crazy times! We'll see how it goes and I will definitely put up pics sometime next week. Hopefully this will make next week a great week! We'll see...more later. Sorry this post was so ridiculous and random. My life is not that interesting these days. What are you gonna do?

I've got nothing to do today but smile

What up party people. It is a GOOD day today. So far, no waves and the weather is so wonderful. Seriously, get in your car and come visit me right now because this weather is beyond amazing. I really do want to kiss and marry it and have it around for always and forever. I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to propose. I walked down to the Farmer's Market today and got myself a crepe and enjoyed it with my new boyfriend the weather by eating it outside, just sitting on my stoop. I really want a porch, but that is not happening anytime soon, so until then, the stoop it is. The bugs aren't as bad these days (of course right after I bought some quality bug spray) so now I'm chilling outside writing this. The neighbors probably think I'm crazy, but whatev. And good god, I LOVE crepes. They would be maid of honor in the wedding.

I rediscovered my love for blasting really ridiculous dorky music and driving with the windows down on extremely nice days like today. I'm embarrassed to tell you what I was listening, so I'll keep it to myself. Ok, no I won't. No shame! Today's selection included Michael Bolton and pieces from the musical "Wicked." Speaking of "Wicked," I think that may be the main reason I am so sad these days...I will no longer be going to see it at the end of October. So very sad indeed. I was really looking forward to it. :( But, there will be other chances, so I'll go another time. In the meantime, you can find me "defying gravity" at a very high volume around town. I am so cool. Also, yes, I did in fact say Michael Bolton. He has some super fabulous 80s pop music and I feel fellow drivers should appreciate it as well. Lucky them. OH! And on the way home, sometimes there are these crazy guys in blue wigs standing on the side of the road jumping around all crazy advertising for a junk company or something. I don't know, there is this huge dump truck next to them that says www.gotjunk, and that is what their signs say too. I think that would be a horribly embarrassing job, but it's like 3 guys and I think if I was out there with friends, it would be hysterical. Plus they crack me up, so I LOVE seeing them! It totally makes my afternoon. They are young guys and they seem like fun...I think I should stop by sometime and say what's up. And I'll be all, oh yeah, I got junk....in my TRUNK! Check it. I'm sure that will go over well. They look like they would appreciate some good 80s Michael Bolton. I think this could work.

In other news, the search for a third roommate is still on. I have high hopes for this batch of people though. I re-posted it on craigslist and I have gotten a few promising responses. ::Fingers crossed:: I might be looking for another roommate in January because my retard sister is thinking of moving...to New Jersey. Seriously, she is such a tard. She wants to be a full time a nanny and her choices are NJ and Italy. She's going for New Jersey. For reals. I don't know how we are related sometimes. I am hoping to get out of the country in the new future as well, so I might be looking for a permanent replacement for the both of us. We'll see. I sure as hell will not be relocating to New Jersey where it's cold as shit during the winter. I was there for a week last year and was miserable. I could not handle living there.

My foot is getting a little better. It is still disgusting and itchy, but I think it's on it's way out. Jeez, I hope so anyways! At least flip flop season is on it's way out.

We got killed in softball. So sad...but I only played for like, 2 innings so I'm going to say that it was not my fault. I didn't help anything, but I certainly didn't hurt anyone. On the way home I was listening to some random song and one of the lines in it was "we have to remember...god is a baby...and also a diaper." Something along those lines of ridiculousness. I mean, what? Speaking of music, I just downloaded new music and I'm obsessed. I think I'm going to start a new list or something of songs I think everyone needs to hear. The first one is "Shakin" by Eddie Money. Go. Download. Listen. Thank me later.

Ok, well I just read Sarah's 8 post and I want to re-do some of mine because that is how I roll. I copy and steal from people. They inspire me. Sarah inspires me to be better. And, I forgot about kissing because that is also a passion of mine. My favorite is kissing random boys in random places...like alleys, public bathrooms and the parking lot. Bonus points if they don't speak English. Kissing whilst standing up is my favorite. Making out on the couch is fun too, but there is just something romantic about standing and kissing. Even when you're in a bathroom...trust me. She also had good music listed. Good job Sarah! Except Hall and Oates..for real? To each his own. But, I'll keep my post the same. Oh yeah, I'm also jealous of her fun job because I just know I would be so much better off if I had a fun job I liked and actually used my brain for. I need to find one! I also wished I thought being a college grad was fabulous...I think it will be though. I have faith. Oh, and I'm also tagging Kelly and she better do it because she hasn't posted since like, June.

Man! I really wish I could bottle how I feel today and drink it up when I'm feeling lame. I seriously had a fabulous day and just feel super great right now. Don't know what it is...the crepe perhaps. Going to sleep with a smile on my face in hopes tomorrow will be just as fabulous.

Ciao ciao!

Just call if you need us

Right, so I know I've been a posting fool these days. I mean, things have been happening, so I have stuff to write about AND my super amazing, extremely smart and technologically savvy self just installed the wireless router at our house. ALL BY MYSELF. Yes. So, I finally get to use my computer at the house and it's awesome. So that means I don't have to post at work, or sit in the awkward chair using my sister's computer. I get to use mine! And I love my computer, so I'm going to use it as much as possible. And I have stuff I want to share. So here goes.

First off, I never told about the ridiculous woman I encountered the other day. I have told the story about 10 times this week and the more I tell it, the more I realize that it's not all that funny or interesting, so I'll give the abridged version. Basically I went to do an on-site collection in someone's house and the girl I was testing was a big fat bitch and was giving me a lot of attitude. But she wasn't the biggest problem...her cousin (who was probably 40) was sitting in the room when I walked in and got all pissy with me because I "didn't say good morning" to her or her mother. I mean, I walked into their house so you'd think they would greet me first but they didn't so, I didn't say anything to them. Whatever. But she would NOT drop it! She kept saying something about it! Finally, when I was almost finished, I had as much as I could take and was just like, "Look, I don't need a manners lecture from you!" And then she got REAL mad and started yelling some more and demanded that she call my boss, blah blah. So I gave her the number, walked out and of course, told everyone goodbye and to have a lovely day. She yelled after me to have a blessed day because I obviously needed the lord in my life. Right. That is exactly what I need. I think I need a new job, actually but whatever. Anyways, best part is that she called my boss/dad and he shut her down so fast, haha! He was pretty much like, yeah, it's not her job to say good morning and that since she wasn't even the one being tested, it's really not any of her concern. BURN.

I signed up for the TEFL course, so in just a few short hours (40 maybe) I will be certified to teach English abroad! I am proud of myself because I am finally taking a step towards to doing what I really want to do and what I've been saying I'm going to for the last year and a half. So go me.

And lastly, my faith in humanity has been restored by an act of kindness today. I decided I was going to walk to Whole Foods (which I thought was really far, but is only 2 miles) today, even though the weather was not looking so good. But I made up my mind, so off I went. I made it there fine but on the way back it started pouring down rain...of course. So I'm standing on the side of the road, under a business awning and this CARTA bus that is going by just stops in the middle of the road (Coleman Blvd) and starts honking for me to get on! Haha, the driver was holding up traffic and everything, just so I didn't have to stand in the rain. So awesome..made my weekend. And then, she dropped me off right in front of my house. How fabulous is that? I got off and she was just like, ok, just call carta whenever you need us. I love it.

Wow. So I just got really sad. It comes in waves and one just hit me big time. Still having a hard time processing that someone I care about is completly wiped out of my life and is ok with that.

Shake it off.

Slightly Pathetic

Right, so I decided that I like being tagged. Mainly because I like writing about myself. Also, it gives me an excuse to post without having to come up with something to talk about. However, because of my limited number of blogger friends (I've got about 1 right now), I don't get tagged very often. So I just stole this tag from another blog I was reading and decided to tag myself. I don't know if that is allowed but I don't care because the 4-5 people that read this probably don't care. They also probably don't care about reading about me, but again, I'm not that concerned. Writing this is mainly therapy for me anyways, so here we go...

8 things I'm passionate about:
I'm really not that passionate about anything, but here are things I would really like/care about and could possibly lead to passion down the road...
1. Music. I love music. And like I said earlier, I love analyzing songs and applying them to my life. Songs can make me cry, but they can also make me really happy.
2. Dancing. Kind of ties in with music. I freaking love dancing and wish I could do it for a living. I would love nothing more than to be on "Dancing with Normal, Everyday People" (its a new show that needs to be developed.) I also really want to dance with Ellen one day and learn the final dance from Dirty Dancing Havana Nights.
3. Writing. I love writing and really want to find a job one day that is a combination of writing, traveling and helping people. That would be awesome.
4. Traveling. I got a little taste in college and want nothing more than to bust up out of the US and go to every country. Seriously. Every single one. I need to get started.
5. Helping people. I like doing the behind the scenes stuff and not the emotional stuff. Like when I do Habitat stuff, I want to hammer and build...not talk to the people. I know, I'm so cold.
6. Reading. Man, I sound like kind of a loser, but there is really nothing better than reading a really good book. I think I am one of a very small amount of 23 year olds that actually utilizes their library card. Awesome, right?
7. My friends and family. I have some really super awesome ones. For real. I don't know how I got so lucky but sometimes my friends just rock my face off. I just wish they all lived closer and not so damn far away. Thank goodness for the internet and cell phones.
8. Women's rights. Well, people's rights in general I guess. Equality is the way to go. I really want to figure out a way to turn this passion into a career. Any thoughts?

8 things I want to do before I die:
1. Travel to every country. I'm hoping science will advance and I'll live a long time, but still be healthy and able. And if that doesn't work, at least go everywhere cool. And I need a shit ton of money.
2. Have a huge, extravagant, bomb ass party for myself. Or a wedding. The wedding might not happen...so I'm not going to limit myself in the event that I will just have to throw an amazing party for myself.
3. Have something published. (this kind of sounds like my bucket list...)
4. Be on TV, in a movie or a play. I guess I need to get an agent.
5. Live on the beach. Not near it...on it. Somewhere that has ridiculously high house insurance.
6. Have something named after me. A friend of my mom's has a scholarship at Notre Dame in her name. I think PC will someday have a jacky g scholarship of awesomeness. I, of course, will decide the criteria. It will involve being awesome.
7. Give money back to places that are important to me...PC, Camp Cherokee, Camp Greenville, my elementary and high schools (not middle, middle school was awful).
8. Fly first class and get wasted on free champagne.

8 things I say often:
1. And....
2. like,
3. Cuss words...I am such a potty mouth!
4. Ok, love you...bye (when talking on the phone)
5. Seriously
6. I know, right?
7. Are you freaking kidding me?!
8. Hi. Can I help you? Who are you taking a test for? Do you have a picture ID with you? Please sign in. Thank you, it will be just a second. (my standard greeting at the pee farm)

8 artists I never tire of listening to:
1. Matt Nathanson
2. Belinda Carlisle (really just Heaven on Earth)
3. Van Morrison
4. Will Hoge
5. Jack Johnson
6. Counting Crows
7. Classical (more of a genre, really)
8. 80s (also a genre...sorry)

8 TV shows I love:
1. Scrubs
2. The Office
3. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
4. 30 Rock
5. Arrested Development
6. The Colbert Report
7. Til Death
8. I love the 80s & 70s (the Vh1 series)
See a pattern? Not a big TV person...but I love me some comedy

8 Things I learned in 2008:
1. I learned a lot about drugs and how they metabolize in your body. Fascinating, I know. I'll tell you all about it someday.
2. I am not as strong or as smart as I thought I was
3. Being a college graduate is not all that fabulous...and I'm not alone in thinking that.
4. You really have to make things happen for yourself.
5. A LOT of people in Charleston County do drugs. Way more than I thought.
6. Just because you are nice to people, it does not mean they are going to be nice back.
7. The real world is expensive
8. You really have to hold tight onto people and things that matter.

Who am I gonna tag?
Haha, umm...my one blogger friend...Sarah! And anyone else that reads this. Let me know!

One Step at a Time

Quick survey: Does anyone else try to figure out a way to make pretty much any and every song they hear apply to your life? Show of hands. Just me? Ok. Well, yeah, I'm weird but I am constantly hearing songs and being like, Yeah! That's me! I totally agree (insert artist's name here)! Or, sometimes, I even will hunt down a song that applies to whatever life situation I am in at the time. It happens more frequently when I'm feeling sad or profound, so right now I'm digging on that new Leona Lewis song...I don't even know the name of it, but it's about moving on because you have to. Also, I'm all about the Jordin Sparks song, "One Step At a Time." Because a wise friend was telling me that I really just have to take my life one day at time and figure out how to get through each day and not worry so much about what is going to happen in the future. I do that a lot. I also let myself get overwhelmed and think about every negative thing that could possibly or is going on and then I just lose it. Again, you would think I would learn after these episodes happen repeatedly...but I don't. So yeah, I need to figure out how to retain information.


Long story short, I'm feeling A LOT better. I am keeping myself busy and happy and I really think stuff really did happen for a reason and everything is going to work out for the best. It's also nice to know that even though some people don't appreciate you and love you for all you're worth...some people do. I have amazing friends and they are being awesome and helping me out even though they have gone through all this mess before. And, in case you were wondering...I am actually talking about more than one person. But we don't need to get into all that.


I also officially decided I am more mad at the other person. Because I didn't do anything wrong and I was actually a fabulous significant other or whatever I was. Or friend in some situations. But I can't change people. Even though I'm smarter and cooler, not every one thinks like me. Which is unfortunate, but I'm learning how to accept the things I cannot change. And I will smile because I deserve to, thank you.

In more normal, less dramatic news...my foot is covered in ant bites and it freaking HURTS. I kind of want to cut my foot off. I feel like that would probably not be best in the long run though. That would probably just add to my problems...esp since I still don't have health insurance. I'm thinking it could be problematic. Thoughts?

And, OH MY GOSH-I dealt with the most RIDICULOUS person this morning. Seriously, such a bitch. Two bitches actually. But, I don't feel like writing about it so I'll do it tomorrow. For now, my burning foot and I are going to bed.

Peace out, yo.

Just Like J. Lo

No, I will not be running a marathon, supporting Scientology, having twins, or launching a singing or acting career. I am merely emulating her song, I'm Real. I decided that I'm going to be real (what you get is what you see..or read) today. Not that I'm ever fake really, but there will be no sugar coating today. And this entry is going to be slightly depressing. So just quit reading if you don't want to listen to Debbie Downer (me) whine about life. I'm hoping to get everything out there, use writing as my therapy and then move on. That is really the goal. I don't want to depress people, but it might happen. You've been warned. Also, I'll be speaking in generalizations, but I think we all know what is going on. There will be slightly happier news at the bottom. Feel free to scroll down.

So. Going back to my amazement with time and how much it changes things, I have once again been floored at how even just one hour can flip my life around. I'm back to being heartbroken and it fucking sucks. I don't think there is any worse feeling than realizing that, even though you wish more than anything it wasn't true, someone just doesn't care about you like you want them too. And it's weird because this has happened to me multiple times before, so you would think I would be used to it by now. But I'm not...it hurts every time. I think the most painful thing is knowing that you are not worth it to the other person and they are perfectly ok to let you go and not have you in his/her life. It's that simple. And through a text message too. Ouch.

But the thing is, I can't decide who I'm more mad at...me or the other person. I'm frustrated with myself for a lot of reasons. Mainly because I KNEW BETTER. I knew better than to let this person back in my life. I knew that he/she had a history of breaking my heart and not thinking twice about it. And I don't even understand myself because I knew that it wasn't going anywhere. I know I am going to be leaving the country someday soon (FINGERS CROSSED) and I knew that things were going to end there. Why did I keep fighting for this stupid, pointless, destructive relationship? I used to feel sorry for those pathetic women that were in abusive relationships and would just not leave the person. I was always like, that person is so weak and lame, why don't they just get the hell out. And now I know why. And don't misunderstand, I was NOT being abused and it is NOT the same thing..but there are parallels. It's because you love someone. And I really think love is the most powerful thing ever. It really does make you do stupid, crazy, nonsensical, DUMB ASS things. And I know I'm being melodramatic and cliche, but sometimes that is how I am. Deal with it. And the thing is, I never EVER thought I would be one of those pathetic women. I thought I was better than that. But here I am. Then again, I never thought I would be a lot of things, but here I am. For example, I used to think wearing flip flops with jeans was horribly ugly and uncool. And you better believe it is now a fashion staple for me. I digress. I have learned the hard way that when you really love someone, your feelings and your heart come second. And it sucks more because my extremely smart brain is telling me that I'll be ok but my pesky heart keeps making my tear ducts turn on. It's so annoying.

Don't get me wrong though. I am plenty mad at the other person as well. I can't understand how you can say so much and lead someone to believe that you really and truly care about them...and then just change your mind...again. Twice. That is the worst part. This happened twice. I gave someone a second chance and am in the same situation all over again. But again, it goes back to me...fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. And the saddest part is, I think I would give them a third chance. Fool me thrice, someone push me off a bridge. I just keep thinking he/she is somehow going to be struck with wisdom, the clouds will open up and he is FINALLY going to realize what a huge mistake he is making. But it's not going to happen. I think I'm really sad too because a huge chunk of my life is going to be missing. That person was a big deal and now they're not.

I guess I keep going back and forth between blaming myself and blaming the other. I know I'm amazing and awesome and super. So is it my problem that I keep wasting it on people that don't deserve it or is the other person for not appreciating what is right in front of them? I don't even know if that made sense...it did in my head.

Dear readers, I know I need to shut up. I know I need to move on and stop whining. I know that moving on to bigger and better things is what needs to happen. And I think I'm going to do it this time. For real. I am just really sad right now and it is going to take time. I really need that life fast forward button. And also please don't think I spend all my time feeling sorry for myself. Number one, I have lots of stuff going on and I am keeping busy. Number two, I know that much MUCH worse things have happened to other people. I know I am not the first person to suffer through a broken heart and I will definitely not be the last. I just felt like this was an outlet to leave it all on the table and hopefully a way to help me walk away from it all.

Hm, also...I just looked up the "I'm Real" lyrics and they really don't apply to this situation at all. But whatever, I was still real. Just maybe not in true J.Lo style. That's cool, she is kind of pyscho anyways.

See what I mean? What kind of sane person would wear that?

So, in other news:

I won both my softball games last night! Hooray! And I didn't do horrible. I get really nervous playing with the new team because they are more hardcore and better than my other team. But, I did not embarass myself last night other than one missed grounder. And, I batted well, which was a welcome change.

Oh yeah! Homecoming was super fun! I had a great time, which was kind of unexpected. But still, a pleasant surprise. I saw lots of good friends and had a very good, drunk time. Exactly what I wanted. I did get a little upset though, because the stupid ticket lady gave everyone free tickets that had their student ID...and then I tried to use mine and she was all, what is your ID number? You don't still go here do you? UGH! Punk! She caught me. But then I got all sassy and was like, you didn't check everyone elses! She said, yes I did! I said, no you did not because you just gave everyone else that graduated with me a free ticket! Then I ran away so she wouldn't yell at me. I was drunk..but not fearless quite yet. So boo on getting caught and having to spend $15 on a ticket. I don't feel bad though...I mean, there are tons of students that don't go to the game...I was just using one of theirs! And, there are tons of times I didn't use my free ticket, so I think it would have been ok for me to get in for free. But whatever. And, I lost my black fleece. Which really pisses me off. One, because I didn't even use it. Two, because it was expensive. Three, I just bought it last year. And four, I know someone out there has it and they KNOW it's mine because it has my freaking name on the tag. Grrr.

Hm, that's about it for jacky news. Sorry again for the sad rant, but I needed to get it out. I feel better already. Feel free to send distractions my way.

Later dudes.

We Want the Funk

Just thought I would share this video because I think it is so hilarious and cute. Also, I have nothing else interesting to share really, so why not?



And, sweet! I figured out how to post videos. Get excited people, because I'm sure lots more are coming your way. I love those kids! I don't have a Mastercard, but I just might get one now. I wonder if they all get free Mastercards for being in that commercial. I also wonder if they are really that cool in person. Probably not. I love funny commercials. They make my life. There are some Katrina and I find hilarious but no one else seems to think so, so I'm not going to share. Maybe I'll put the Jesus videos on here one day...those things are hysterical. Unless you're really into Jesus...then you might not think so.

Other than that, my U13 team lost...again. We have not won a single game and we've only scored one goal the whole season. Sound familiar? Yeah, sounds like the 5 and 6 year old team I had. I don't know if this means I'm a bad coach or if it means that since I'm not a parent, they just give me the crappy team. I don't know. I don't really know what else I can do...these kids do NOT listen! And they are pretty lazy and never want to get after the ball, so that could be a factor in them not scoring any goals. It's a possibility. There is also one child on the team I would really like to see move away and not come back. He sucks so bad. And not just at soccer...at life in general. That's pretty bad when you're only 11 and already sucking at life. He's got a long, sucky life ahead of him.

Anyways, we still need a third roommate. PLEASE let me know if you know anyone that is not sketchy, clean and fun. Very basic requirements to live in pretty much the coolest house ever.

Going to Homecoming this weekend. I'll keep you posted on how that goes. I am neutral about it right now. Could be awesome. Could be terrible. Fingers crossed for awesome.

Later skater.
