"i've gotta say, i wasted all your time, honey, honey"--coldplay
hey hey,
well yesterday was another slow day within the office, this is not surprising, i think besides the legal team who is in a different wing, there are 3 of us total up here when there is usually about 10, and they're on the other side of my wing, so it's just little ol' me. just trying to get things done and out of the way, i feel very productive today so that should be easy.
yesterday, i stopped by walmart on the way home to pick up some water and little things i would need for this weekend, not to mention that i saw my cookbook for $7 cheaper than at B&N (i'm glad you're not there anymore brad, they are practically STEALING from me!). when i was pulling out of the parking lot and to a stop at the stoplight, this IDIOT 18-wheeler all of a sudden just pulls in FRONT OF ME, luckily we were stopped, but seriously, there was NOT enough room by ANY means for his large ass to be in front of me or even TRY, b/c he wasn't just like nudging his front in, like asking for permission, he just kept DRIVING into the lane, and i was like whoa, then i looked to my left and saw his tires coming for my car and started LAYING on my horn! and he didn't even STOP, so luckily no one was behind me, and i had to reverse, otherwise, my plastic car would be no more today. after a few words such as "what the fuck? you fuckin' asshole" i just started freaking out and crying. :(. kind of like a delayed reaction that this stupid 18-wheeler ran over me. that was a lovely experience. note to self: apparently they really CAN'T see you in their mirrors.
so i went home, calmed down, changed, then met allisonandmatt for dinner, on the way i returned my cookbook at B&N, then i called and texted people to find good sushi places b/c that's what we felt like eating. brandon, the loan guy (yes, from a looong time ago) told me about a few places, but they were way south and we were north, we just ended up going to suzi's which is north near where i work and had some great sushi. afterwards we went to walmart to get my new CHEAPER cookbook, and made fun of some self help books. (really? he's just not that into you if he's dating someone else, won't have sex with you, is having sex with someone else, is married or won't call you?--i'm sorry to any girl who i'm friends with who read this book and it saved their lives, but c'mon. i felt like if i bought this, i would be reading it for comedy. it has a big DUH written across it) i drove them to their car and looked at their vegas pics, planned on making a trip out again, perhaps in March. when i got home, i noticed a big wad of cash in my cup holder, ALWAYS fun, but i realized it was the money i had paid matt for my dinner, so sweet! allison--2 thumbs up for you! ;)
how could i forget, my mom called me and asked me if one of her client's 19 year old daughter could be my roommate for a "few" months while they found a house (she is going to ACC and she's never been away from home and they don't feel like she can make the move by herself...?)...there are so many reasons why i need to say no. the only good thing would be that she would pay rent....but let's look at the negatives..
1. i live out in the freakin' country...no ONE in their right mind, esp at 19 (or even 23) wants to live where i live. you want an easy move? don't move 30 miles from the city
2. i don't know her, i've done this "potluck" thing 3 times, freshman yr, soph year and then in NYC. except for jenell, i'm not a big fan of getting random roommates
3. she's 19, i drink...sometimes a lot, at my house, now that all of my friends are 21 and over, this makes for nothing illegal going on at my house. i don't need to taint her and be a bad influence
4. i don't know HER! what if i invite someone over (a male...not like this happens, but it COULD) and he were to stay overnight...i don't need HER telling my mother (and maybe she wouldn't, but then again i don't know) and then i have to explain my lifestyle? no.
5. i LOVE living by myself! i am spoiled and selfish and i don't like to share. i don't want to have to worry about stepping on someone's toes to make them feel comfortable [i couldn't even keep a dog for a week!]
6. i'm anti social, not really good with makign people feel comfortable that i don't really know or that i have been thrown into some weird situation with
7. the next 6 months of my life are about to be a little crazy. let's start with next weekend, having people visit and stay in my house, then let's start with 2 weekends in february which i will be celebrating my birthday, once again, i will have visitors. how about the wedding showers i am agreeing (and excited about having) to hold at my house? how about the wedding party needing places to stay. how about this girl moving into my house and taking over my GUEST room that i use for my GUESTS!?!
le sigh, i need not say anymore. peace.
i did laundry when i got home and then got a little pissed off. you know when you have a friend who you've been friends with for awhile, oh i don't know, like 5 or 6 years? and all of a sudden you don't hear from them again. this is what happened with my buddy scott (you may know him as scottie the hottie--hah!) he was here this summer like every summer, taking out his boat, etc. we didn't hang out as much b/c i had a job (boo!) and i never could make the boating excursions since i was always gone on the weekends, etc. he just moved to colorado for grad school and APPARENTLY was here for thanksgiving :(. i was talking to paul who told me they had gone out to dinner with some other guys from hs. i'm sad that no one called me, paul told me not to worry he's sure scott wanted to hang out with me too, i was like thanks....then i started thinking, booo, what happened? just another proof to myself that i really let some of my friendships go this past year. i think i've done a good job rebuilding my friendships with the singletons and i feel closer to them again like senior year, and that makes me so happy. but then i hear about this, i get sad. so boo.
maybe one of my new years resolutions should be not to lose touch with those that are important to me, although if i try and i get no reciprocation, i can't do much about that. i used to be the girl who was always calling people to say hey and whats up, but i stopped doing that so much. i think i shall start that again. hmmm...
did i mention i'm cutting back on drinking sodas? i haven't had one since thursday, and then i had a small DP on sunday, but that's it...ONE WEEK! (almost!)
1 day 'til houston
2 days 'til NYE Bash
3 days 'til '06
where are YOU going to be for new years, lovahs?
peace out.
