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?

Building a mystery

I have a little mystery happing in my house. I woke up this morning in the usual way which is my cat smacking me in the face with his paw. I get up and feed Boo and get ready to hop in the shower.

I pull back the curtain and it is like a scene from psycho (ok not that bad but it was unexpected). There is blood all in the bath tub. I stand there for a good three minutes not doing anything and trying to figure out what the hell happened.

Did my roommate cut herself? Probably not considering I shower before her and she would clean it.

Did my cat cut himself? He doesn’t go in the bathtub and he was sleeping on my bed all night. Also there is no blood anywhere else besides the tub.

Did Whitey Bulger kill someone in my tub? I do live very close to Winter Hill.

I had to clean it. I’m not taking a shower in that. So I’m naked in my tub with gloves and Ajax at 6 a.m. How was your morning?

The Oscars

I admit that I haven't seen most of the movies nominated this year but I still have some predictions. I'm going to make a little list

Cate Blanchett will win every Oscar because she always does even when she's not nominated.

Christian Bale will accept Heath's statue and then go on a verbal rampage when the Oscar "get off the stage" music starts playing.

Zac and Vanessa perform and even Hanson is like "this sucks!" Adults with no young kids are confused as to who these people are.

Kate Winslet announces her next movie is about a pregnant Nazi war criminal who flees on a boat that sinks in the Atlantic because she couldn't read.

Michael Jackson is inspired to become a priest after watching Doubt.

Megatron hands out the statues to spice things up

Hugh Jackman hosts as Wolverine. He rips open envelopes with his claws.

I fall asleep and look up who won the next morning online.

Filling my brain with YA fiction

I just started reading the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld. I found this series in the young adult section and even though I’m 25 I’m thoroughly enjoying it. The book is set in a dystopian future where once you turn 16 you undergo a surgery that makes you “pretty”. Everyone seems happy, everyone looks the same but it’s not all fine and dandy in New Pretty Town.

The characters are likable and the book is not too predictable (I’m looking at you Twilight). It’s set in the future but the technology is believable and interesting. I’m thinking I would really like a bungee jacket. The main character, Tally, can handle herself. Yea she makes mistakes but she doesn’t always have to have a man come to her rescue (she’s no Bella).

I’m on book two in the series which I’m enjoying even more than book one. I’m done with the Twilight comparisons. It’s just nice to not have to roll my eyes so much while reading a book, or ALL FOUR BOOKS.

The winter blahs

I've been saying since November that I'm done with winter. I totally admit being a baby about the cold. Yesterday I was walking home from the T and it was snowing. It wasn't just snowing there was also extreme wind blowing that snow directly into my face.

Today I just want to curl up in bed with some tea and a good book. Knowing that my office is always arctic in temperature is not motivating.

A little vino for V Day

Melissa and I are both single and decided to make the most of Valentines Day. Melissa had the idea of volunteering to feed the homeless. At first I wasn't in the mood which is horrible to say but I had so much to do this past weekend I just didn't have the time. I decided that I was being ridiculous and needed to do it.

It was in the basement of a church that had a questionable smell. It reminded me of CCD. We had no idea what we were suppose to do but everyone was really nice and helpful. Most of the homeless people were very nice and thankful but of course there were a few interesting comments. There was one man who told a pregnant woman she was having a bastard because she wasn't married and another man that got mad at me because I wouldn't give him more peas. I told him we had to wait fifteen minutes before we could give out seconds and I thought he was going to throw his plate at me.

We met some pretty cool volunteers that we hung out with at Whole Foods. Really, nothing was open on Valentines Day.

After our volunteering time we headed out to our Valentines Day "ball" in the city. I am officially done wearing dresses in the winter. I'm only going out dressed like the little brother in A Christmas Story.

Melissa and I decided it was a wine night. I lost my debit card on wine night. Actually Darryl lost my card because he decided to use it for Chinese food when I didn't even want Chinese food. Despite that we had a good time. It's nice to dress up once in a while but I think I'll wait for the spring to bust out a dress again.

Also a guy at the church asked me for my phone number, and yes it was a volunteer not a homeless person.

When candy hearts make promises

Happy Valentines Day! I may be single but I am getting dressed up and going out with my best friend for a night on the town. I hope you guys have a fabulous Valentines Day!
