Meatloaf retold

The above was a word verification I got today while on craigslist. I think it is going to be the name of my band. Or and album title, or a song...

WARNING: THE BELOW POST IS A RANDOM TRIP THROUGH MY MIND AND CONTAINS NO SUBSTANCE.

Is it just me or does Pete Doherty look like a vampire? Seriously. He's even got, like, bite marks on his neck...

My mom hung up on me when she called me at work. She called to ask me about my vast knowledge of fashion in regards to the Spring 09 Marc Jacobs line, we had a discussion about it, which involved such topics as the economy, the depression in the 1930's, '30's silhouettes and prints, the colour black, project runway, and how we need to learn Swedish. We then proceeded to sit on the phone and look at blogs/read articles on the above subjects, until she hung up on me, which was ten minutes later.

I just discovered Google translator. Oh Em Gee! This is the second greatest discovery of my life only after google street view (for the stalker in you(<--- should soooo be their new ad slogan)). Now I can actually read all my Swedish blogs!

I've been feeling really annoyed all day. Just annoyed with alot of things: people who won't grow up, people who won't grow up but think that they are oh so grown up, people who think their problems are the biggest problems in the world, people who complain about all these things, but then won't get off their own arse to fix their problems, people who expect others to fix their problems, the fact that it's April and it's going to be 90 on Sunday, etc. That was the condensed version. I just wish people would grow up and learn to deal with the cards live has handed you. Back when I was stupid and young and self-obsessed (no it was not yesterday Bri), my voice teacher told me something that quite literally changed my life. He said that I had two options in life: I could choose to wallow in all my misfortunes, or I could learn to accept them. He also said that what you have to do is take stock of all the things you don't like about your life, and accept the ones you can't change and change the ones you can. This is probably some of the best advice I've ever gotten, and I just wish everyone would learn this. Another thing he said to me was that I couldn't wait for life to just drop everything I wanted in my lap, cuz no matter how much I wanted it, it just ain't gonna happen. I don't really know why I'm writing all this, but maybe I can pass it along to someone who actually needs to hear it. All I know is that I've had to accept the fact that life is annoying and I've taken stock of that and it can't be changed to so I'll just have to live with it. But I do wish that people would just grow up.

In other news I finished Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I highly recommend it, especially if you like Jane Austen and or Zombies. I'm debating doing a book review about it, but I'd probably get as far as, "This book was really cool and I liked it" and then I'd assume that everyone valued my opinion enough to go out and read the book. I may do it though. I started (or re-started I should say) another book. I've really been meaning to read more because every time I read a new book I remember how much I love reading. Except for my current book which I started six months ago, am half way through, and JUST got to the plot of the book. I like this author, but I sure hope all that useless prattle turns out to be build up, but my hopes are not that high. Consequentially, it's a sequel to a book that has another sequel. I have both sequels, but haven't read the other, so I have no idea what's up with that. I'm hoping to get through both those quickly so I can move on through the twenty books on my dresser, which include Jane Eyre and Withering Heights. I've gotten to about the second chapter of each of those before I said screw this. I'm determined to finish them this time.

Also a big thanks to the anonymous commenter of my last post. While I appreciate why you didn't state your name, I would have liked to know who you are, so that I can a. properly thank you and b. because I'm a nosey little cuss. But thanks all the same.

Current Events

currently:

eating spaghettie and meatballs

watching American Idol

reading blogs

thinking about how nice my bed sounds....


Edit: I should never be allowed to watch the news. I am far too oppinionated/well educated to stand it.

Best quote of the day:

(Watching the news as the crew from the ship that was attacked by pirates(Ashley side note: OMG! Some people have all the luck!) coming off their plane)
Bri: Oh man! Hilary Clinton said something like "even if this is a 17th century crime, we need to judge it with 21st century ideals."

Mom: No we don't! We need to go all Thomas Jefferson on their ass!

Also (note you probably don't want to continue reading if you are a fan of the celebrident and wish to still think well of me)

I think Obama should start a blog so we can all keep up with his "vows of the day". We'll call it Oblog-a. If you're and Obama fan, I'm sorry.... for you. Go read an (accurate) American History book, and take a course in real economics. And as supplimental reading, please pick up a copy of the constitution. It might help you.

Also California does not have enough rainy days to justify a "rainy day fund." If the politicians are the ones who spent more money than the tax payers gave them, why are we trying to give them more? I mean you don't give a crack addict more crack right? Especially if they're in debt to their dealer....

I'm liking the TEA party people, and the fact that we are heading for a party turnover, and that the Liberatarians (ever heard of a guy named George Washington?) are getting alot of chances to finally let truth be heard.

I promise to never discuss politics again here.*

*Until I have another political rant.

One more thing:

I laughed out loud at this!

Under Par

So your friends are all home for Easter, and you all have decided that you need to hang out on the corresponding Saturday. But you're all at a loss as to what to do?

Then the Token Asian sends an email to the group with a joking suggestion. And the group decides that this is the idea of the century. This is the result: We went Mini Golfing dressed as Golfers:

And that's how we do it.

Things that greatly annoy me.

• Stupid a**holes
• my brain
• that I'm a psycho
• my inability to get over it
• being reminded of you
• seeing you
• how the above two happen once a month on schedule like a really horrible (.)
• wishing for miracles when in reality I don't want one!

excuse me while I have a discussion with my brain on it's stupidity.

Um can I please live in this?

Zooey you really do nothing for my self esteem. I love you, in a totally non-lesbian way. This reminds me that I need an eye exam

M.I.S. #6: Texture

Whenever I go thrifting or antiquing I come home with the grimiest hands ever. It's really gross. I couldn't figure out why (cuz I'm a moron) until Friday. Friday I was at Goodwill (the reason was epic, and will be revealed tomorrow), with Bri and Jess and I was going through things, and I realized it's because I touch EVERYTHING. Each garment that I come across I handle and inspect and feel and rub and touch. I've always had a thing for textures, in everything. There are some that I cannot stand to feel (plastic checkbook covers give me shivers, and sunblock makes me want to vomit), and some that I cannot get enough of. So this week I thought it would be very cool if I just showed pictures of textures that I love that inspire me, with minimal commentary (I know you all don't think I can do it, well just watch!). Enjoy:

Grass (I grew up in a field)

Old Lace (beautiful and delicate)

Vintage Linens (they feel home-y)

Rose Petals (so silky, even when they're dried)


Old Books (I like how the dust sinks into the pages)

I hope everyone had as wonderful and Easter as I did. Tomorrow I'll post pictures of Saturday's Adventures, which were hilarious and ridiculous and proves that my friends are cooler than yours!

I guess things don't really change...

I've got nothing to say. Strange week.

I will say this though:

I'm half way through Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and it is genius, hilarious, wonderful and as charming as a zombie story ought to be. I'm excited for this next.
