American Idol

I told myself it wouldn't happen. It's horrible. I can't help it. I can't resist it. It's too hilarious. The thought of it is even embarassing. I have to watch it. It's there to watch. And the kid with the the big hair that auditioned in Birmingham that looks like Jack Osbourne has such dry humor. I love it. What the hell is wrong with me!?

It's a good thing that House starts to come on again tonight. Or I would feel the night a complete failure. "We are selfish based animals crawling across this earth."

Disbelief?

Coachella!!


I'm too excited. This isn't natural. I swear I lost like 5 pounds just pacing back and forth on the phone for an hour last night.

So now I need to get creative with excuses for missing class, which probably isn't the best idea for me right now. Especially considering this all takes place 2 weeks before finals. I can't talk myself out of this! I'm going to coachella. That's final.

Wow.

Lake Effect

Snow. Everywhere. Awesome.

And the pretty, white, fuzziness basically hasn't stopped coming down for quite a few days.

Not the best photo... but you get the point. And there's much more snow than that now. Just by the way, sledding in Wal-Mart parking lot is so much fun.

I'm tired. And cranky. So I won't want to bother you with any complaining I have to offer. Much love.

That's it.

Straighten It Out

Winter break is over as of tomorrow. School starts again Monday. I hope it's freezing cold and extremely white in New York. It's cold here, but no snow. Down to the teens at night. The other day it only got up to 31ish. This time last week it was down pouring for four days nonstop. A couple days before that it was up to 60. I'm talking about the weather... what's wrong with me? I even bore myself.

The Freedom Writers - Liked it.
Children of Men - Awesome.
Deas Vail - Completely WOW. Not to mention the lead singer is really hot.

*twiddles thumbs*

Uh huh so I got really super bored at work and all the windows were clean and the floors shining spotless and mopped and swept and sooooooo I decided to write notes to people!!!!! YAY! Very random notes by the way so don't get weirded out.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Suzanna,
I met a middle-aged spastic Asian man today. I would tell you what his name was but, to tell you the truth, I couldn't understand a word he was saying. So all I did was smile and nod, and laugh when he did. But anyway I thought of you and it was random.

~*~

Seth,
And as he faced the sun he cast no shadow...
I want to go ice skating.

~*~

Ashley,
I LOVE it when I'm online, and then you're online, and then you talk to me first! Ummm, yeah.

~*~

Kirsten,
O. M. G. chica! You absolutely HAVE to be my favorite person right now! Pwease??

~*~

Al,
I love working after you, because you organize the noodles by color in the garbage can. And it makes me laugh at your randomness.

~*~

Mike,
Let's go surfing. And rock-climbing. And sky-diving! And bungy jump off a bridge. A reeeeaally tall bridge. And then go surfing again... and snowboarding? And then MOUNTAIN BIKING! Yesssssssss.

~*~

Sam,
Oh my stars in heaven Sam. I miss your Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. Lend it to me? Because my blender here at home is starved and wants to eat something. It told me so.

~*~

Wes,
... I see a child.

~*~

Shaz,
Wanna travel with me to Florida? And pick oranges??? Then we can walk around an outlet mall and chuck 'em at people!

~*~

Asha,
Chica you promised you would come and see me!!
*runs away sobbing*
*comes back* Happy late birthday by the way.
*runs away again*

~*~

Sable,
AHHHHHH! Sorry. I borrowed one of Athena's mixed cds and she apparently has lost her mind because an Ashley Simpson song started playing. Whew. It's okay now. I changed it.

~*~

My Erin,
YOU STILL OWE ME CHEESECAKE AND APPLE PIE!

~*~

Keiffus,
Your hair is sooo long and I can't stop touching it because it's so soft and pretty and blonde.

~*~

Katie,

I can forgive you for loving Justin Timberlake against every ounce of influence I try to set upon you, but NOT FOR NEVER CALLING ME ONCE WHILE I WAS HERE!!! Actually, I'm not hurt at all. I don't really want to see you.

~*~

Robert,
Don't be scared of me just because you're a fruitcake. Hardcore.

~*~

Lauren and Kerri,
I fruckin luuuuurve you. YEAH MAN YEAH MAN!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

love always,

ERIN

Prepared to Run For It.

I'm ready to get back to school. I miss my "suiteys". And I'm sick of most of the people here already.

My jump-drive broke... and it's slightly depressing.

Wednesday I swam a mile. Yes, that is equivalent to 35 laps of the pool. 70 lengths. The pain is just now wearing off. I do, however, feel very very accomplished. It's a nice feeling.

And completely devoid of patrons at work, I was set to scrubbing walls yesterday... and sweeping closets. Good thing I finished, or that's what I'd be doing tomorrow too.

I'm really enjoying this sleeping till noon thing.

...Happy New Year...

People learn. From their mistakes, experiences, whatever. But there are people who don't learn. The people who make a major mistake, and continue to make the exact same one, but expect something better to come out of it each time. They just keep going back for the same dosage of shit they received in the first place. Not only once, over and over. They like it. The taste of crap in their disgusting mouth is refreshing.


Don't worry about something you have completely no control over. It results in pointless stress. Stress over something constructive. Such as... ... ... ... ...nevermind.

So now that the holidays are over, maybe things will get back to 'normal' again. Maybe. Except now I'll be stuck in Lonoke most of January, starting tomorrow/this afternoon, where the excitement running through the crowded streets is completely overwhelmingly exulting... And now I might get to work TWO jobs... with no car.

I'm actually not sure why I'm complaining. I think I might just be annoyed... frustrated even. At what, I have no idea. I'm actually ready to see everyone again. It's only been a month since the last time, why does it seem longer?

I spent all day today with family, what with southern family here plus others from other states. I think it was the longest day I've had in a while. Starting early off with church and continuing with being recruited to setting up for the wedding. Yay. Even more fun when you didn't go to be until after 3. Then actually sitting through the wedding, and afterwards (again) being recruited to clean up. Yay again. So the reception was reasonably fun, except the sitting around watching every person within a year older than you get completely wasted dancing to country music all night... and knowing if you go anywhere near a glass of wine or champagne, you would be brutally murdered... because it's very wrong to underage drink.

The wedding sorta got me to thinking of the future or whatever. I figure that I won't ever get married. Kind of a depressing notion, but I really don't ever see it. I see myself graduating college, however long that might take, getting a job far away from both New York and Arkansas... and that's all I see right now.

It did snow the day after Christmas... way out in the hills where I was stuck at. Not very much, but enough for it to matter. It's completely gone now. Of course. It's okay though. It's not like I'm gonna be here anymore, so I don't care. I do get the rest of my Christmas presents soon though.

And I'm working Saturday. Someone owes me a visit... But I seriously hope that everyone's New Year's Resolution to lose weight last year worked, so that I don't have to deal with them.

So Happy New Year everyone... hope all was fun and went safely.
