I have a crown of pipe cleaners

Wow I am so sleepy today. I think my body is still recovering from the lack of sleep this past weekend. I definitely feel like I am too old to be staying up until 5 a.m. I even missed Rock of Love last night because I was too tired. Please don’t hold it against me for watching that crap. I know it’s horrible but it’s a guilty pleasure.

I saw I Love You Man on Saturday and it was just as good as I expected. Jason Segel is really growing on me. I like him on How I Met Your Mother but I loved him in I Love You Man and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I hope he continues to do movies. And who doesn’t love Paul Rudd? I would like more Paul Rudd movies please. I feel like they’re friends in real life. I have no idea if they really are but I hope so. I can’t stop saying “slappin the bass man”. I amuse myself so easily.

What else did I do this weekend? We ran into Edward Cullen. I didn’t even realize it was him. I was dancing and then I turned around and he was standing there right on the edge of the dance floor. I think I said something like “hey, don’t feel like dancing?” He laughed and said something that I can’t remember because my brain was too busy freaking out because I just realized that it was Edward Cullen dude. Melissa comes out of nowhere because she realized it was him. I sort of move away and let her talk to him. I know how much she likes him so I’m a good friend and hang back. I think at one point she asked me to smell him because he smells good. I told him that I’m sure he smells good but I’m not going to smell him. I was a little more sober than she was. I don’t think he was interested in any of the ladies. There were a bunch of girls hitting on him and he had no interest. Maybe he is gay Edward Cullen? I spent the rest of the night trying to cheer up my friend. Rejection happens and it sucks, I know.

On Saturday night I saved a guy from two cougars. If I’m pushing fifty and dressing like I’m twenty I would hope my friends would have a little intervention. The two ladies kept asking him to take pictures of them. They were posing myspace style and I was trying very hard not to laugh. Hey, at least they’re having fun but this guy just wanted to eat his dinner and drink his beer. The guy made eye contact with me and I could tell that he wanted help so I went over and asked if he wanted to sit with us. He said “Thank you! Yes! I couldn’t tell if you could see me. I was going to start mouthing help.” He was a nice guy and fun to talk to and the cougars found another guy so they were happy.

I went to visit Ashley for her birthday on Sunday. We pretty much ate every fried thing imaginable. Honestly, I could eat mozzarella sticks every day. Fried cheese is the best! I made her a birthday crown out of pipe cleaners. I forgot all about pipe cleaners until I saw them in Target.

We played some wii fit and the wii asked me if I often trip over my own two feet when I walk. Wow, thanks wii fit.

I got home, passed out, and now it’s Monday. That was quite the post! It was quite the weekend though.

Jai Ho! It's Friday

It's a slow day here at work so I was going through my phone and thought it would be a good idea to share some of my texts. Real post coming soon I promise. I'm sorry that my friends are not always appropriate.

I keep that in my teets

Glad we’re twittering @ the same SECOND

Jetblueballs

AF to intense. Too much partying more partying than needed please send help immediately.

You sleeping? Pam is banging somewhere.

Is Edward Cullen there?????????

You’re the one at the tavern without the rockstar doctor.

She is fast asleep. I’m not motivated enough and now my Best Friend’s Wedding is on! Double feature!

Waka waka

But I’m watching the holiday with Jack Black!

Poor Zane and his brain =( I feel like crying

I’m drunk as hell!

I’m hyper and I want cheese!

Lol its huge but I’m going to bed Beowolf is on and I can’t resist

I’m like the perverted old guy on Family Guy when I look at pixs of my cousin mmmmmm

Hello Ginny I’m drunk

Your scarf is on my bathroom door.

Um gay Edward Cullen was at the tavern and is now at my house.

Tussy!

WTF did we DO last night?? I feel disgusting.

Oooook there’s a confetti heart on my boob

Slept with a dorito.

You'll never see what you've done to me

Songs I can't stop listening to.

Poker Face - Lady GaGa
Gives You Hell - All American Rejects
That's Not My Name - The Ting Tings

I really love the video for "Gives You Hell". Tyson's facial expressions crack me up.

Dogs and cats oh my

I'm going to Connecticut in April for a weekend of fun and debauchery (I mean they go hand in hand). My cousin grew up there and I'm tagging along to visit some friends. They usually come to visit us in Boston so it's only fair that we make a trip to visit them.

Riley is going home today. I stepped in pee this morning while blow drying my hair. I wish dogs could use a litter box. I also got woken up in the middle of the night because the dog thought 3 a.m. was a good time to try to dig a hole in my rug. It is NOT a good time Riley. In fact it is never a good time for that. I feel like my cat just looks at him like "Seriously, you are quite annoying and I can't believe you would even attempt to sit on my humans lap. Learn your place dog." My cat is like an old man, bum hip and all. If he had a cane he would totally use it.

So long Galactica

I spent my Friday night with some friends and Chinese food watching the series finale of Battlestar Galactica. I'm sad the series is over but I'm satisfied with how it ended. I definitely got a little teary eyed at the end. I don't know how you couldn't get choked up watching the final scene between Adama and Roslin. I have to say my favorite part was when Tyrol found out what happened to Cally. I had been waiting for that confrontation for a long time.

I keep telling people to watch this show. Don't blow it off as some dorky sci-fi show. It has some of the best acting and writing on tv and you're missing out if you don't at least give it a shot.

I'm dog sitting this weekend. Boo seems to be doing ok with a dog around. I suppose it helps that my cat is three times the size of Riley. I like taking him out for walks. Its a good way to tucker him out so he doesn't keep coming up to me with his squeaky pig to play. I was trying to do some yoga and I kept finding a squeaky pig in my face or under me on the mat.

The rest of my weekend is up in the air which is kind of nice. I'm use to my weekends being busy so it's nice that I don't actually have to do anything tonight.

I have internet again

Between issues with my laptop and an unexpected internet outage at my work yesterday I haven't been able to get online. But now I'm back!

I'm a little tired today from a mini St. Patrick's Day outing but at least I'm not hungover. I made sure to only have two drinks and call it a night. I think seeing how wasted people were at the bar was a good deterrent.

I realized last night that I have a habit of singing out loud when I hear a song I like. I don't sing very loud but if you're close enough to me you'll probably hear it. It's almost a subconscious thing, I don't even realize I'm doing it.

Last night at the Tavern, Creep by Radiohead came on. Without even thinking I start singing along, not paying attention to what's going on around me. I look over at the bar and one of the bartenders is looking at me and starts laughing and says something like "nice". I suddenly realize what I was doing and laugh and tell him he wasn't suppose to hear that.

I suppose I could have a worse habit and at least it was Radiohead and not Creed.

I hope everyone had a fun St. Patrick's Day!

Fridays put me in a good mood

Friday is finally here! I've been dragging all week but today I'm in a good mood and ready for the weekend. I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday. That was a sad moment, but I've rebounded!

The security guy at the front desk in our building is the nicest guy. He's always in a good mood and says hello to you. I believe his name is Preston, unless someone made that up and now we all assume that's his name.

My boss has left early and I'm pretty much caught up with work so I'm enjoying some internet time by checking out some amazing pictures on this livejournal. I would love to be traveling in New Zealand and Australia taking pictures.

I bought a new digital camera today. A Canon Powershot (just a point and shoot). Eventually I would like to get a digital SLR camera because I love taking pictures but I think I need to save some money for that as they can be a bit pricey.

My old digital camera will be going to my mom. She doesn't have one and my old one still works, I've just upgraded.

I think I'm going to head to the old building at the end of my Street and take some pictures. It's an interesting building and I keep meaning do that.

100th post and it's about Waltham

Wow this is the big 100 post! I'm going to eat a cookie to celebrate!

I figure I better have a good post for the big 1-0-0 so I'm going to talk a little about my home town (or city really)

I live a few cities over from Waltham and still have family and friends who live there. My cousin wanted to hang out the other night so I met her at Margaritas for some food and drinks. My cousin asks me if I want to go to this privately owned bar that a friend of hers was at. This was where they would hold a lot of our Jr. High dances (yes at a private bar/ghetto function hall). I'm up for anything so we headed over.

This bar is in an old concrete building and kind of sketchy looking. In fact I would not have known where the door was if I didn't go get my Jr. High dance on there back in the day.

My cousin's friend let's us in and I immediately want to run, run far far away. It's horribly smokey since you can smoke in private bars and it is full of white trash townies. I will proceed to list what happens during my hour stay:

• Six month pregnant girl throwing back glasses of wine.
• A janitor from my Jr. High trying to talk/hit on me. "You were there in 1997/1998? Me too!"
• Cousin's friend telling us how her boyfriend's brother is moving in and she's just a little worried, "but only a little!" (boyfriend's brother is a well known drug dealer and is in jail for trying to kill his ex-girlfriend, he's been locked up so much he should just keep a set of handcuffs on)
• Bad nu-metal blaring from the jukebox
• Bartender with a hair style straight from 1991. Sweatshirt she was wearing might also have been from 1991

There was one positive thing there. BEER.

This bar is what my home town is like. If I still lived there I would have 4 kids by different guys and be working at the gas station down the street. Half of my graduating class still live at home with their parents with their kids. It's just sad!

Karma is a bitch

Everyone has been e-mailing me about U2 playing at the Somerville Theater tonight. I'm not too thrilled about this because now my commute home is going to be hell. Everyone and their mother will be in Davis and so the city is shutting down Davis Square. You can't buy tickets, you have to be invited by U2 (after my last post about U2 I think I'm off Bono's list) or you have to win the tickets.

How ironic, I admit to the blog world that I don't really like U2 and karma was like oh yea well enjoy they're coming to you city! Thanks karma.

When I got off the T yesterday the roadies were unloading and people were just standing there watching them unload and then the news people would ask the people watching stupid questions like "Do you think this is U2?" "Do you like U2?" How exciting!

I chose to visit my cousin in Waltham for some Mexican food. I have a little story about that which will be in an upcoming post. All I'm going to say is my home town is PRICELESS.

Friendsville: Population ME

I've been dating a new guy who is nice, cute, and we get along really well. BUT...I think we might be in or heading to the friends zone. We hang out but nothing happens and by nothing I mean it's like hanging out with my best girlfriend. We watch movies eat food and chat but that's it. We don't hug or kiss when we first see each other the only time we do kiss is when one of us is leaving and it's a quick kiss. Now because of this I'm starting to think of him as a friend so there's two things that could happen.

1. I tell him this and he agrees and we stay friends.
2. I tell him and he does not agree and is really upset

Talking with the BFF about it she seems to think that maybe he's thinking friends too. I mean a month of dating and he doesn't make a move makes you wonder. I'm ok with being friends so I really hope that this works out and he feels the same way.

Confession

I do not like U2. I think they're overrated. Sure they had some good hits back around the time I was born but now they're rhyming mole with hole and somehow selling records and having streets named after them.

People this is getting out of control! There is nothing spectacular about U2 and someone please tell Bono that he's from Ireland not California so please lose the sun glasses!

Actually, I just tried to find a picture of Bono without sunglasses and.....wow. GUYLINER!

Other things Bono should not wear:

Cowboy hats. Oh hey Bret Michaels!!

A tale of gay Edward Cullen and my ex

Last week Melissa and I went to this bar in a hotel called Mini Bar. We decided to class it up a little and try something new. While we're sipping our over priced wine we notice a guy walks in, not just any guy but a Robert Pattinson look alike (just a little gayer).

We can't control ourselves. We're giggle like twelve year old girls and keep looking over. I completely lose it when Melissa whispers "gay Edward Cullen is staring at you". Neither of us says anything to him. We finish our drinks and continue to laugh about it.

Flash forward to Saturday (about a week later), I get a text at 1 a.m. from Melissa telling me to come to the Tavern. I tell her I'm in bed already and the bar would be closed by the time I got there.

I check my phone in the morning and I have this text:

"Edward Cullen is at my house, he was at the Tavern! We went to GT and "DD" was checking id's at the door."

First of all, this bar is nowhere near the other bar we were at. It is completely random that she ran into him and then for her to run into my ex on the same night. Strange!

DD is a guy who I dated back in the summer and dumped me for no real good reason. I could have been walking into GT with gay Edward Cullen (who it seems is not gay) being like "yea you dumped me? We found an Edward Cullen jerk face!"

Melissa said DD said something awkward to them because he felt like a complete ass and very well should, for the way he dumped me (text message break up, OH YEA!)

And Edward Cullen is from Australia! I'm a sucker for accents (except Boston accents, sorry home boys). I'm hoping he'll be at the Tavern again, perhaps with Jasper making Edward Sissorhands faces?
