LL, you're so beautiful. And I love the glasses. They are pretty darn cool.
Shannon, what a mess. I say just go for the $30 guard. $6,500 is ridiculous.

Well I'm off to take a walk and listen to my new WSS recording. The only proper way to listen to music is to wear earphones and swing at my old and abandoned elementary school. Nothing else will do it justice.

Although, I think it's because my parents don't think I deserve it...I struggle in school a lot while my brother can do no wrong.
Ugh. I'm the one who HAS to achieve because I was really smart when I was in elementary school, and my parents mistakenly think I'm a genius. Everything I do disappoints my parents, except for when I win an award or accomplish something big, and when I do that, they aren't proud, they just say, "of course I expected that, there was no competition."

My brother-- who is actually very smart-- just acts like an idiot and plays music nonstop and obsesses over things like Nancy Drew and Scooby Doo and Legally Blonde and makes gross jokes and racist comments and spends forever on his hair, so they just think he's a lost cause and let him flounder as much as he wants.

Shannon-- Eek, that whole jaw thing sounds SCARY! I might have to get braces soon, and I REALLY don't want to, but that's nothing compared to the jaw business.

You know that Jesus and Elvis painting that's on the first page of the Kitsch Museum thread?

My Mom gave me one today. She found it in an antique store and knew I had to have it. It might be my new favorite possession. Quality artwork, for sure!

Luscious, your hair is really cute! And you, as always, are lovely! Shannon, that sounds like a nightmare. I have a big issue with dentists/orthodontists (my issue is pretty simple, I just HATE THEM), so I can't imagine going through that.

JAG, what a cutting edge piece of art!

So I just watched the Chess concert. I enjoyed it very much. You know, Idina Menzel is a very talented singer when she's not trying to pull that pop star stuff. And oh Josh Groban...I may be in love with this man. I could listen to him sing forever and never tire of it.

Shannon, I was yawning as I was reading your post and was suddenly concerned my jaw would pop out LOL! But in all seriousness, that sounds very unpleasant. Especially the whole thing with the mouth guard. I hope it all works out, keep us updated

SAMN, I really enjoyed the Chess concert too! I love the score (I'll admit the book is not my favorite). I thought Idina did a fine job and it's nice to see something like that for free on your tv!

BB, I think I see the sun!!!!

Constantine creeps me out. But I have a friend who is good friends with him and she said he's actually really nice. I just can't get past those swarmy looks he gave the camera all throughout Idol.

Shannon, good luck with the jaw thing!

It's supposed to rain here again today. I'm so over it!

[blondebaby589]

Posted: 6/19/09 at 8:24am

I see the sun too!

The rain finally stopped..for now. But it's gonna rain all weekend.

JAG..LOL!!! Love that painting. I hope you hang it in a place of honor!

JAG, you just need this to complete your art collection....

Posted: 6/19/09 at 9:56am

Thanks ladies!!!

Shannon- OUCH...that sucks! I hope you get a better answer!

Schmerg- Isn't it ridiculous how much pressure parents put on us? It's about now that my mom has seen that I'm a strong person and relatively successful. And while I did well in school, she still gives me crap about how I could have done better in college. And I can finally look at her and say, "Do you know how many people have ever asked me in a job interview or anywhere else really what my college GPA was? NONE...NOBODY...NOT ONE!" It turns out, that for me, all of my success has come from the relationships I've developed. Or from being a charmer, haha. Seriously. She used to get on me about being such a social butterfly and that I should study more...but now it seems that it's all because of the social butterfly aspect that I have gotten anywhere.

Grades aren't everything. Being a well-rounded, strong, independent, worldly and street smart person counts a lot more in my book.

Good morning girls!!!! I got a 100% on my test last night and you know what that means...

So I went to the bar last night, and I must say in all honesty I even out did myself. My friend asked me what I wanted to drink to start out the night and I normally have a piss poor excuse of a beer or a delicious White Russian but I asked her what she thought I should drink and she immediately said a Vodka & Cranberry. OMG I had no idea how yummy those things are. Those suckers went down like f*cking candy!!! And notice I said sucker(s) cuz dammit it all if I didn't have one right after the other of those bad boys. When I go out I have a really bad habit of taking cash with me instead of my card to start a tab. I think I do it subconsciously but on purpose so I don't have to pick up the tab, or at least not the whole thing. I know it's wrong but I always pay them back the next day after I hit an ATM. Besides I'm kinda broke as it is, and L you know what I mean, so I was gonna drink up as much as I could without having to pay for it myself.

So, I know that when some of us have been drinking we think that we're whispering something but in reality we're using our outside voices. *sigh* Well apparently I was on my fourth V&C and I was sitting at the bar away from the door, just chatting with some people I'd just met. But you know sometimes how you can notice something and just kinda say what ever your observation is to yourself under your breath or whispering it? Well I saw a really pale guy with really long light blond hair walk in and said: "OMG he looks like a date rapist." And of course I thought that I was just saying this to myself under my breath and not a soul could hear me. But I was sooooo wrong!!!! My friend whirled around and gave me a quizzical look. So I asked why she was looking at me like that. She said: "Dude do you even know what you just said? You just called that guy a date rapist like REALLY loud." I thought she was bullsh*tting me, cuz I could have sworn I used my "inside" voice. But I looked at a girl I'd just met and asked her if she heard me and she said she heard it as clear as day and she was about 3 people down from me!!! I would have been embarrassed at that point if what I'd said wasn't so true. That guy looked like a creeper with a pocket full of those little pills. And I saw a lot a guys HOVERING around us waiting for that moment to pounce and offer us a complimentary "ride" home. Like one guy even recapped everything we had drank up until around 1:30, and he was accurate. I know I had at least 5 V&Cs, and 8 shots (maybe more, who knows) of Teq, Whiskey and straight Vodka. It still amazes me how a little shot glass of liquid makes have to go to the bathroom sooooo bad, sooooo often. I was like a Russian race horse at the Kentucky Derby with a glue truck behind him!!! By my 4th trip to the restroom I was holding onto chairs so I wouldn't fall blah blah blah. Some of you might say I'm a drunk, but I say I'm a girl who knows how to have a REALLY good time!!!!!

If I lived in the city I really wouldn't have such a problem getting home on nights like that. They have endless resources. Buses, cabs, subways whatever. But here in North Carolina those are few and far between and with all the back country roads my cab fare would be astronomical. So I had to drive home. Mind you I wasn't drunk just severally buzzed. First I drove my friend home, which is really scary that late at night because there are deer everywhere and of course they'd love to jump out in front of the only Nissan on the road. But I got her home safely and I had to take the back roads back to civilization and my house. But all of a sudden I had the urge to purge and had to pull over near the woods. When you drink or do *cough* "other" things, your sense of paranoia is totally heightened and I thought I saw 10 billion green eyes, fangs and what not staring back at me through the bushes and trees while I was bent over. Frightening!!! But I made it home and even managed not to drop anything on the floor because it's made of tile and my bedroom is right above my grandparent's room and they can hear everything I do up there. When I drink I'm a butterfingers and drop everything and make a ruckus. But I just took my shoes off down stairs on the carpet and crept up stairs into bed.

I need to go because honest to god if I don't smell like "Bar" right now. It's not just the alcohol, the smoke, the drunk girl in a short skirt vomit smell, but it's all of those rolled into one so I just call it "Bar" smell. EWWW!!!

You ladies have a great day.

*Hugs* Tofu

P.S: I saw so many hot girls my tongue was hanging out of my head by last call. Overall it was a GOOD night!!! YAY!!!!!

I thought that story was gonna end with you getting attacked by a vicious deer LOL

[clever name]

Posted: 6/19/09 at 11:58am

Tofu, at the risk of sounding redundant, you should be a writer!

That story was funny until you got behind the wheel. DONT EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!

..and BB, I thought a deer would be involved with that story,too. lol

[lusciouslace]

Posted: 6/19/09 at 12:24pm

Yeah I was expecting a crazy, rabid deer, too.

Wow, what a night Miss Tofu.

Tofu, I'm gonna have to agree with clever here. Don't ever drive home like that again!

[killertofu333]

Posted: 6/19/09 at 12:34pm

Clever, I promise I won't do THAT again.

I saw this really cute girl with a pixie hair cut, glasses and gauges in her ears. She kind of reminded me of Brandon Boyd from Incubus except way cuter and femme. She also had her sleeve done with a really beautiful tattoo, which I'm not normally attracted to tattoos but she looked gorgeous.

Brandon Boyd:

I LOVE Brandon Boyd!!! Incubus is my second favorite band ( a very close second behind The Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Clever we're so kindred right now I LURV the RHCPs. John Frusciante does stuff to me. He looks grungy but I'll overlook it cuz he's amazing and a little sexy!!!

[blondebaby589]

Posted: 6/19/09 at 1:19pm

Everyone except for four of us in customer service are out to lunch and my manager came in the room and said "You know what this means since everyone else is out to lunch?" And then she did cartwheels around the office LOL! Just to add and make the story better, she's a 46 year old woman. I love this place.

[lusciouslace]

Posted: 6/19/09 at 1:20pm

BB- That's awesome

Clever and Tofu- Awwww I love you guys even more now. I HEART RHCP!

[clever name]

Posted: 6/19/09 at 1:33pm

BB, you really are in an episode if The Office! lol!

[justagirl2]

Posted: 6/19/09 at 1:44pm

tofu, I've had some eerily similar nights, complete with saying things about people much more loudly than I intended. Too funny.

And ohmigod, Brandon Boyd...in eighth grade, I loved him. I still think he's way hot, but I haven't listened to Incubus in years...maybe I should pick them back up. Interestingly enough, I've never met anyone who doesn't like RHCP (even if they suck, suck, suck live). John Frusciante is grungy and nasty and hot. I always kind of liked Chad Smith too, in a Will Ferrell kind of way.
