the other side of me.

10:40AM - the end is here.

well. im done with LJ. ive moved on to VOX. find me there, under Tip Tap Toe. ive only got one friend who still posts on LJ, and i havent posted here in forever. so im moving on. about time i suppose.

9:53AM - 2006 top ten

here it is, my roundup of my top ten for 2006:

1. moving in with Boyfriend. its been the best living arrangement of my life, and the best 6 months for both of us.

2. seeing a multitude of concerts, notably: red hot chili peppers, jonny lang, flaming lips, the sun, bob dylan, dashboard confessional, and mae.

3. wednesday nites at the Thirsty Ear. good company, good beer, bad music.

4. vacation to california with Boyfriend. a really fun week, where we both realized that yes, we really do like each other a lot.

5. christmas with my grandma. it could very well be one of the last. so im glad i made the time for it.

6. halloween in toledo. good old fashioned fun with my mom and cousins.

7. realizing that i DONT have to be the one in charge. asking for a demotion was the best thing i did for my emotional health this year. so much less stress.

8. scrambled eggs with colby-jack cheese. its become a ritual around here for breakfast. and its oh so good.

9. TV: it finally got better. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, The Monastery, Deadliest Catch, Miami Ink, American Chopper, What Not To Wear, Scrubs, My Name is Earl, The Office, Law & Order; SVU, Dead Like Me.

10. planning our 2007 move: yep we're in it for the long haul. and Austin, here we come!

i cant wait to see what 2007 brings us!

5:22PM

my whole entire fucking world is falling apart on me. how the fuck did i let ANOTHER person screw me up?

9:12PM

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock. A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything. No wonder you and London will get along so well.

8:46PM

wow. i havent updated in cloes to three months. i guess that pretty much is some sort of evidence of my life now. i work. i hang out with my BF and i sleep. im hardly ever on the computer, and when i am im too busy trying to find cheap plane tickets to california to update. so heres a lame update. tell me what i dont know about myself: go here. click. thanks.

10:46PM

reading this line, made me laugh hysterically:

"Either it's a really small world, or you're a really big slut".

mostly cause the person stating it, slept with me and two of my good friends. go irony, no?!?

11:48AM

heres the jist of my life:

ive been back in columbus for over a month now.

im so in love its not funny.

my boss is killing me [i tend to have nightmares about work.]

my grandma left to go back to CA this morning. we had christmas last nite. it was fun.

my best girl is getting married in june. im a bridesmaid.

i also have this irrational fear that i might be pregnant.

next wednesday im getting my hair done.

you should all listen to the format. their song, "On Your Porch" is my new favorite, but the whole damn CD is awesome.

9:45AM

IM GOING TO CHICAGO!!!

oh man, im so excited. work is sending me there for 2 weeks. i leave next wednesday. i finally get to go someplace FUN! first it was crap-ass kentucky, then boring akron, but now, now its chicago! woooooo! i hope i actually get a couple half days off so i can go DO stuff. yay! chicago!

5:23AM

the problem with being wide awake at 4:46 am is that you spend 15 minutes laying in bed thinking WHAT THE FUCK is going on here. and then the next 30 minutes on the internet searching for sweet airfare deals cause you figured out your guys school schedule and he'll have 11 days off in september and you seriously wanna go to disneyland. $600 for two tickets to sunny san diego. you could see your family again [not that they treated you so awesomely last time you were out there], hit the beaches up, and go to disneyland. hrm. or you two could take a small-ish road trip to niagara falls/boston. granted, youd have to stay in hotels then, but you wouldnt have to pay airfare. youd be able to catch jack johnson or any other number of great acts along the way. choices choices. good thing ive still got 2 months to decide.

10:48PM

i had chipotle for dinner. you should be jealous. it was THAT good. also. im doing laundry. and downloading a TON of songs. and generally being miserable. why? oh yes. my allergies. i hate allergies. i really truly do. they make me a bumbling mess of tired-ness. im just sneezing and my eyes are all itchy and im exhausted. i hate it. and soon....BED.

12:50AM

well now. that was an interesting little tid bit i just read.

*****

i should be in bed. its nearly 1 and im exhausted. and ive got a great big day ahead of me tomorrow. shopping at Gabe's. shopping at Revival. ANOTHER new drivers license. and oh yeah. WORK. its greta being the head boss and all, but seriously, my Area Manager can lick me where i pee. she sucks ass and is rude as fuck. ah well. i got some sweet ass new Tiger kicks today which almost makes up for the fact that my AM was so goddamned rude. bleh. screw her.

10:49PM

i kinda feel sick. i think i drank too much pop today. also. my week just started and im already tired of it. i seriously cant believe im working 65 hours this week. WTF is that?! hello. i have NO life. thanks job, you rock for taking my pretty much non-existent social life and throwing it out the window so that now i have NO CHANCE of having one.

11:01PM

now this is something:

My pirate name is:

Mad Mary Kidd

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Get your own pirate name from fidius.org.

7:50PM

also, this is my new life motto. from a friend's fortune cookie: "Good clothes open many doors. Go shopping."

6:39PM

so i got back from Canton last nite. yep, thats right, 3 days early. but theres a reason for that. now, work is sending me to Akron for a MONTH. A WHOLE FREAKIN MONTH. bleh. the good thing is i got the weekend off, so i got to hang with dave and two of his friends last nite. then we spent today over at Easton doing some shopping, having lunch, and i ended up taking him into work and hooking him up with a shit ton of clothes for his birthday [its next saturday - when i'll be gone].

tonite im watching "Garden State" one last time for awhile, making a couple mix CD's, and packing up all my stuff. because, by the time i get back from Akron, Nick will probably be permanently moved down to FL, so this apartment wont be here waiting for me. i'll have to be living at home again. unless they give me my own store super quick. but i kinda hope they wait till july at least.

tomorrow i finish packing, have lunch with carrie, take dave to the house to meet the parents and have dinner, and then drive the 3 hours to Akron. woo freakin hoo.

*****

and now, for the completely retarded.

2:35PM

i figured out what my problem is. i wake up everyday with the BEST intentions of getting shit done. and then i just never do it. instead i sit here in front of the computer chatting on AIM with ex BF's so that they will be entertained at work. and i post all over message boards. and i read peoples blogs. and i download music. and i have this constant stream of other music in my ear. and i eat. and laugh. and im comfy and so i DONT MOVE FROM THIS SPOT. ive been sitting here since 11 when i woke up. that was 3.5 hours ago. uh oh. i seriously do have things i have to do today. someone plese make me go do them. seriously.

1:06AM

now, this is a line, if i ever read one: And now I get to go lie in bed and cry like a dumb whore. You wish you were me.

amazing. i seriously want to "borrow" it.

10:33AM

im seriously pissed at like 7348732571234665 million things.

i had a shitty nite at work last nite where i basically found out that my boss is telling people that im saying negative things about them when IM NOT. then i came home only to realize that i have like NO ONE around here to hang out with if i happen to get off work early cause the people i know i cant just call up at 11:30 all "hey i got off work before midnite for a change, wanna go out?" and then in talking to one of those people it just became painfully obvious that our schedules suck ass and its going to make it really really hard to ever see each other cept for at like 2 in the morning and um, well i need sleep. and im pissed at some people i know online cause theyre all just a big bunch of know-it-alls and are being super retarded lately. oh and im sure as shit tired of having to defend my friends. my friends are good people, and if they werent, they wouldnt be my friends. for fucks sake.

oh and im also sad because i havent talked to a certain online friend in forever. and that doesnt help with all the angre/depression/what the FUCK this is.

6:40PM

so. lets see. whats happened since friday afternoon? i got a little more sun by the pool on friday afternoon. then when nick got off work we cleaned up, had some dinner and then drove up to west palm beach to hang with Mike and Hilary at an irish pub, O Shea's. it was a nice little place, good cover band, and good company. got back before midnite and crashed out in anticipation of a long saturday. [good plan!]

got to Jamies a little after 11 am on saturday. followed her down to The Keys [she likes to swtich lanes, A LOT] and ended up down there just before 1. her and i laid out on their dock [more sun for me!] while nick napped inside for a coupla hours. around 4 we headed over to Holiday Isle to get dinner and drinks from Dave while he worked. he hooked us up and i had my first RumRunner [itll prolly be my last, HAHAHA]. watched a little kiteboarding and met some people jamie knows. finally head back to the house around 6 so we could catch a nap. slept till 8 or so, then we all got cleaned up since Beaker was home [he was fishing all day!] and headed down to Big Fish around 10. met up with Dave there, got our drink on, and listened to an AMAZING cover band, The Reg's. after awhile we headed down to The Hog and did some more drinking and a little dancing. i drunk dailed a lot of people, and found out today from them that im SO FUNNY. hahahaha. at one point i lost Nick, Dave, and Jamie and was all by myself outside of Hogs on the phone with Matty while answering Jamies phone. apparently my conversation with the person on her phone was quite funny, Matty tells me. hahahahaha. ah well. finally left there around 3 am and went back to jamies to crash out.

woke up today at 10, hopped into our suits and headed out on beaker's boat to get some breakfast. we took the boat to Tropical Cafe, had some eggs, bacon, toast, and then hopped back in and went out to the Sand Bar to park the boat and catch some rays. while we were out on the ocean we saw a turtle, a shark, and a bunch of other cool stuff. and more KITEBOARDING. it was so awesome. i LOVE The Keys. i seriously could live there forever. im pretty sure of it. got way too burnt out on the boat so we headed back in. then nick and i left jamie and beakers and headed back to ft lauderdale so i could shower, pack up and get out of here. but my plane has been delayed two hours, so ya'll are getting this great update.

ill be back in freezing ass cold ohio tomorrow morning, and back to work tomorrow afternoon. ugh. id rather stay in FL.
