Harry Potter and PostSecret

2007-07-17T01:30:49-05:00

This is one of my favorite PostSecrets so far...

...especially since no one will be seeing me for as long as it takes me to read the seventh and final :( Harry Potter book...

So... it's only been 10 months...but whatever

So it's only been 10 months or so since I have posted but who cares I'm back now! Anyway I started this blog almost a year ago when I decided that I spend so much time at work reading blogs that I might as well start my own. So I posted twice...and promptly forgot about it. Maybe that was because my life was going so well at the time and I was still under the illusion that if I just kept everything bottled up that that it would just go away and I'd never have to deal with it again. So here I am again I guess since I've had a problem with insomnia lately and also I have by shiny new Mac Book to keep me company while I sit in bed not sleeping. So I decided to start this blog thing up again. Here goes…

I first discovered blogs when Time magazine came out with their best 100 websites of 2005. That is where I discovered Dooce written by the amazingly hilarious Heather Armstrong, I was immediately sucked in and spent the next few days at work reading the archives from the beginning, which (if no one has every discovered a blog years after it was started) is very much like discovering a great TV show, you immediately go rent the first few seasons on DVD and take a weekend or so and watch all the back episodes, which is so great, that is until you get all caught up and have to start waiting an entire week to see what happens next. Discovering Dooce was very much like that except with the added enjoyment of having never heard of a blog before (except the ones friends had on myspace.com). It wasn’t like just discovering a new TV show, it was like discovering TV! After my initial disappointment of finishing the archives I realized that, wait!, other people probably do this too! So I began looking for more entertainment to alleviate the never ending boredom of working at a cell phone retail store. I discovered Amy’s Wednesday Advice Smackdown, which led me to Amalah, then I realized that the comments on these Blogs! They have comments! Left by real people! Who are funny and have blogs of their own! So that is where my introduction to blogs began. I now check on around 15-20 blogs weekly and have 4 or 5 I visit every day. I don’t have that boring job anymore since I decided by boss was a crooked asshole (more on that later) so I’ve since stopped my obsessive quest for more reading material.

Anyway since it’s about 5 am or so I think I’m going to go figure out how to link to blogs on this page and them go to the gym because its 5am and if I can’t sleep I might as well do something productive.

I think all my posts will all be in the same category...random...

So yesteray was an odd day, I went to work at 9 and my boss didn't get there until 5 (we close at 6) so I left early and went to dinner at Robbie's with Jessica. Anyways we found out that Rodney has overheard everything we have ever said to each other over the past years in that resturaunt of his...which I think is fucking hilarious since Jessica has had a crush on him for years (she likes his butt) but anyway we sat there for a while and has this amazing seared raw ahi tuna appitizer that i'm kindof craving right now. While we were eating dinner (Pork Tenderloin for Jessica and Duck for me) this man and his family sat down at the bar next to us...we immediatly notice that he has a pink lighter that is the exact same shade of pink that Barbie shoes are made of (which we promptly pointed out to him). Then I noticed his Chanel sunglasses and wanted them...

....later that night, we finished eating and drove by the lake to see if the sailboats were in the water yet (i'm taking everyone sailing on Sunday) then we called suzy to see what she was doing, we decided to go see The Break Up at the Strand so we went and picked Suzy and Ryne up and drove out to Mount Zion to found out that THEY WERE SOLD OUT!!! of a movie...in decatur...weird...so with nothing to do we went to the mall for really no reason at all...then we drove to Target so we could all be starbucks kids (FYI banana coconut frappacino with an extra shot of expresso is amazing!!!) and so Ryne could buy an oscilating fan (which is smarter than Ryne, but more on that later) so here comes the funny part...we decided that we should buy a three pack of pregnancy tests and take them...Jessica, Suzy and I...so we get to the cash register and I hand the box to the girl at the checkout and I look and Ryne and in my best angry bitch voice I say: "you better hope these are all negative!!!" It was fucking hilarious!!...

...even later that night we went back to my apartment (oh yeah, they were all negative) and Ryne tried to put his oscilating fan together...he wasnt doing a very good job...I suggested reading the directions and he about bit my head off!!! so after he messed with it for a few minutes more I got off the couch, made him give me the pieces, and I had it assembled in 2.327 seconds!!!

...and then suzy got a text message...from cookie...he wanted to hang out...him...the evil bastard that screwed us all over...he used us...pretended to be our friend..for a year and a half...and then he left...for a long time...and now he's back...and he wants to be friends again...hah!!!!...i shall drink his alcohol and be a bitch to him all summer!!!....I have a feeling im overusing the ...'s
