Listening to: Moody Blues

Hi Football Season,

It's me.  Rydia.  How are you?  I just... wanted to tell you that... I really like you.  A lot.  Call me? 

Seriously.  Gosh.  I like major league football, ya'll.  So many good memories.  It brings people together.  I went to a game once.  It was a Miami/Dallas game, in Miami.  I went with my mom and like... second cousin and uncle, and my older brother.  We had five tickets, but they weren't all together, and my mom and I got the better ones.  Upper sideline.  We bought Dolphins hats and scarves and stuff.  It was so awesome.  But Dallas won and that kind of sucked. 

I remember long long ago, when my parents were still married, and they would watch football.  And I was little so I didn't know the teams so I would just make up what I thought they were based on the pictures on the helmets.  You know how the Houston Oilers had those... oil thingys on their helmets?  I called them the Eiffel Towers.  And the Saints were the S's.  I knew the Dolphins because my mom likes them, and I obviously knew the Redskins.  I knew Dallas because I was born hating them.

And with my boyfriend being from Green Bay, you'd think I'd be able to get tickets to a game there.  But noes.  Spet hates teh football.  Oh well.  I love him anyway.

Listening to: Artsy Chick and Severed Toe, The Big Meat Show

I just want everyone to know I have a new TV boyfriend.  Sawyer on Lost.  So he's a cad and all the "good guys" hate him.  So?  He's scruffy!  And so what if he pack rats all the stuff he can find and barters for whatever he wants?  He's just being... financially sound!  I can't wait till the Sawyer-centric episode. 

Lost is a good show, you should all watch it.  Charlie is the most (and possibly the only, other than Sayid and Sawyer) brillant character on the show, and I'd like to thank the producers right now for casting Dominic Monaghan.  Spot on casting, and he's one of the only castaways that's interesting and unpredictable I'M LOOKING AT YOU JACK AND KATE.

Things I Think Should Happen on Lost:

Listening to: The Two Towers soundtrack

Sigh.  This soundtrack takes me back.  To days gone by!  omg!  Like when I first met Stephen, and we were first talking and TTT was coming out in a couple months and we talked about it all the time I would get all nervous and excited when I saw him sign on.  I still love talking to him. 

Halloween was teh fun.  I dressed up for work and got a couple strange looks.  Genie and I went to a haunted barn in Walkersville which was scary, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be.  They were fond of chainsaws there.  And masks.  There was a really awesome live gothish band there, so I would've liked to stay longer.  But we went to Marly's and watched Dawn of the Dead and that was fun.  Marly is crazy and hilarious. 

I squared my nails.  I'm not sure if I like it.  I don't think I do.  It looks so good on some people.  I just don't think I have the hands for it.  I'm a failure.

I've also decided to attempt NaNoWriMo this year.  Of course I've started a whole day late, so I'm a little behind.  No, you can't read it.  It's gonna be awful.  Of course quality isn't the point of NaNoWriMo, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Jenn got LICENSE'd.  Yay!  Now she can drive off to the circus instead of trying to run there.

I'm in a weird mood.  Sad and pensive, tm Dan Kwa. 

John Malkovich is so cool.

Listening to: Cake, No Phone

Listening to: The Offspring, I can't remember the name of the song, but it's the one about the girl who died and he's all sad and stuff? Yeah that one.

I'm like a little kid.  I get my hopes up really high for stuff.  And it bums me out more than it should when said thing doesn't happen.  I think it's because I hardly ever get out to do fun stuff, so I look forward to it a lot when an opportunity presents itself.

Like last night.  Our boss was taking all the TCBY employees out to a haunted barn.  But the barn turned out to be closed.  So we looked up the haunted forest, and it was closed.  The Haunted Mill in Pennsylvania was also closed (Curse you, We Must Be Closed On Monday Night establishments!) and so was every corn maze between here and Thurmont.  So it was mostly a gigantic waste of gas.  We ended up going to eat at a diner, and the waitress hated us.  Like, hated.  I guess I can understand since there were so many of us, but she wasn't even pretending to be nice.  Whatever.

Everyone: *looks at menu*
Julie: I'm getting fries.  *turns menu over* OMG THEY HAVE PIE?!

Listening to: Bob Dylan, Jokerman

I heart Bob Dylan.  I heart Bob Dylan's son Jakob Dylan.  I heart Bob Dylan's son Jakob Dylan's band the Wallflowers. 

I'm eating Chinese food from Friday night.  It's yummy.

So on Friday I saw Shark Tale with my dad and brother.  And a theater full of screaming crying kicking falling laughing children and their stupid parents who wouldn't turn off their darning cell phones.  One of them fell into the back of my seat before the movie even started.  Fell!  Really kinda hard too. 

Yesterday Jawn and some of his friends and I saw Sky Captain.  omg it was teh good, I recommend it.  A smidge on the stereotypical sci-fi side, but it's still just a fun movie.  If you can get over the insatiable urge the movie gives you to sock Gwenyth Paltrow in her sepia-toned faced in the first ten minutes.  It was the first movie I've ever liked Angelina Jolie in.  Maybe it's the fact that she has only one eye?  I seem to have a thing for one-eyed ladies these days (HELO ELLE DRIVER I AM TALKING TO YOU).  Um.  Not like that.  Minds out of gutters, please.  Overall, it was a really good movie, but it would've been better as a book or something where they didn't have to rush through it like they did.  *shrug*

Then we ate at my former place of employment, yay for Quizno's.  Jawn and I had our senses assaulted as soon as we walked in the door.  The smell reminded me of the long hours and really awful times I had there and my blood pressure was like, "Wee let's race!" when I smelled it.  And Jawn is just weird, so the motors in the neon lights were destroying his hearing.  Consequently we ate outside. 

In church on Saturday my pastor said something about, "The person you like the least will be your next door neighbor in heaven."  But that made me wonder.  How can [insert name of certain largely disliked person] be next door neighbors with so many people?

You know those annoying kids that drive down the street with their music up really really loud like musical missionaries to the world?  I realized today I am that kid.  But I hardly ever have my windows open, so I don't really subject others to whatever I have on.  The engine gets really loud on the highway, so normally have it turned up to about 20-25.  And I forget about it, so it's still really loud everywhere else.  I try to remember to turn it down to 10 or so when I get to my neighborhood so my parents don't get angary.

Marly let me borrow her Queen CD.  *burns*  And she gave me a skirt.  She's so cool.  And she was born in the same hour of the same day as me.  And we just found out recently it was the same hospital too.  And now we're reunited 17 years later.  I made cookies on Tuesday and sent them to Jawn and Step.  And I sent Clary her birthday present, but I'm not going to say what it is because she'll probably read this.  But it's so cool and awesome. 

For some reason I really feel like messing with pictures tonight.  But unfortunately I have no pictures of anything I really feel like playing with, and no picture program to mess with them with. With with with.  Plus the digital camera is currently in Phoenix taking pictures of the condo my parents bought.  mayb i play w/ web cam lolololz...

Goodness.  What an entry full of ADD.

It's starting to get cold and fallish.  I love fall.  *hugs*  I get to wear sweaters now wee!  And soon I can wear my cool black coat again.  And the humidity will go away.  And Halloween YAY.  And it's getting a lot closer to me seeing Step again.  I can't wait.  Here's a picture again.  Mostly because I just like looking at him.

Listening to: John Cougar Mellencamp, Authority Song (on Radio KoL. I love Fusilliban.)

Me and Step.  Over the summer.  Yeah, I'm mostly just putting this here so I can link to it from TPS, because their uploader isn't working yet.  Aaaaaand, that didn't even work anyway.  Wutev.  Look!  Look!  It's me and a hott guy!

Listening to: Scissor Sisters, Take Your Momma Out (on Bragi's Totally Awesome Face-Ripping Audio Chillfest)

I hug Bragi. 

So. I haven't updated in a really long time.

People always said college was a lot different/better than high school, and darn if they weren't right.  I really don't want to speak too soon, but so far?  I'm loving this.  I have to get up early three or four days a week, and that's all.  I go to class, and when it's over I either go to work or go home.  Homework really hasn't been very bad, and I find I have a lot of time to just chill out.  Play KoL, talk to people online (helo clarys im tlakign abot u), um... doing other things which aren't updating this blog.

Also.  I got my car fixed.  It starts up like a good little car now.  Except for this morning when I was late.  But I threatened it and it started. 

Also also.  I got a raise at work.  After a year of lying, cheating, and sleeping my way to the top.  And a couple people got fired today.  Not directly because of me, but because all of us were fed up with them.  So yes.  Working a lot to make a dent in tuition for next year.  Right now I could buy maybe, three books or so?  *downtrodden*

I haven't talked to Clary very much in the past three or four days.  omg i mis her.  clary coem hoem!1111

Oh.  And I'm a mod now.  Let's throw a party.  I would be a fool to voice my modly frustrations in such a public place, so I shan't. 

And this has been a really general update, and not all that interesting.  Um... I bought a really cool sweater the other week.  Like.  Really cool.  It needs to get cold now so I can wear it.  Labor Day has come and gone which means (FINALLY GLORY HALLELUJAH) I can wear my beloved boots again.  *hugs boots*

More on some day when interesting things actually happen.  i tlak 2 spet 2nite i hoep yays!11  *types more incomprehensible mispelled words to befuddle Ana*
