Hey Lady!

Swan and I had one of the weirdest convos on Tuesday morning. It was about thunderstorms, ice creams and hey lady! Whenever I think of Hey Lady! I just want to scream it out at the top of my lungs. The following IM convo is below:

Swan (9:48:16 AM): its thundering
Swan (9:48:25 AM): yay i like ice cream
Me (9:48:25 AM): i know
Me (9:48:36 AM): what ice cream + thunder=what?
Swan (9:48:45 AM): hey lady
Me (9:48:57 AM): it equals hey lady?!
Swan (9:49:13 AM): yes it does
Me (9:49:19 AM): awesome!

As you can see, early mornings at work mean that I'm completely incoherent to the world..and that the dumbest stuff is funny. ((teehee)) Plus, Swan is just funny in general. Like his statement about a guy who took off from a light getting on to the highway, "Woah Seabucisut, you aren't on the track, so sloow down!"

I just about died laughing.

I wish I could zing out one liners like that. Honestly! But, I'm not as quirky as most bloggers. Damn you people! ((teehee))

Anyways, as you can see I changed my layout once again. Clearly I have OCD when it comes to finding the "perfect" one. Well, I think I found it! Finally! I probably will switch up the huge banner like picture every now && then but the rest of it will stay the same. And I'm going to try && fix the font size because I'm well aware that not everyone has CIA super secret vision like myself...oops, there goes the secret! (( I tried being funny, someone laugh damnit! Anyone? Ok then..moving on.))

On some other things;; today or tomorrow we are finally booking our hotel for Waterfest 15. ((woot to the fricken woot!)) As I've previously stated, we are leaving Sat. July 18th && coming back Sunday July 19th. We will be staying at a hilton inn, and the price is alottt cheaper than the previous hotel I found;; plus there will actually be other vw owners staying there! And the super great thing;; I don't have to see BP at all! ((holla!)) I was a bit worried, even had a dream about it..but it seems him && his friends are pretty poor so they'll only be coming down Saturday, and yes we will too, but we won't be going to the show till Sunday. So ((wipes brow)) it's all good in the hood.

I digress. So, I've been back && forth on a weekly "series" I can do, and I've finally found something! And I'm gonna commit to it! So, look for it, on the next post. =D

I'm not saying what it is..but I will say, it has to do with something I LOVEEE. Which could be anything, cause honestly, I love me a lot of things, places && people. I have a huge heart, damn me!

So, get ready! =)

Oh Where Oh Where Have All the Bloggers Gone?!

Guys-come on! Most of you are MIA! It makes me super freaking depressed. =/ Sigh. I totally understand with summer here most of you have a million and one things to do, kids to take care of, and the beach to bum at. Still I'm super sad. But I digress...

Oh how I love the summer. Weekends spent at the beach, driving round aimlessly, playing volleyball across the street with your friends and that slutty chick who wears a tiny bathing suit and ass showing shorts that your friend is dating, tubing down the Farmington River and praying to God that you don't rip your back open again on the second set of rapids, and getting ice cream about 20x a week.

Summer is by far my favorite time of the year. ((Obvii since I want to move to Florida!)) I absolutely love the summer nights, laying underneath the stars, just chillen out, talking. Oh, its what my lil soul lives for.

Oh, and thunderstorms. Yes, that's right, I'm an uber huge fan of them. I'm a scarredy cat for sure, but I occasionally enjoy watching them. I just love watching the lightning strike, hear the thunder clap, and listen to the beep beep beep of the weather channels severe weather alert.

Thankfully, I have never seen a tornado in person, nor do I feel like I would want too. They scare me. Geez, even the wind scares me if its blowing too hard outside my window.

But I'm totally ready for Summer 09. It won't be the best ((because I'm poor)) but it'll still be good times! =D

Weekend Recap.

Good afternoon, well it'd be a better afternoon if it wasn't Monday, but what the hell are we gonna do? Erase Monday I say! Name it something else! Anyway...onward.

Friday
-after I got out of work I went home and laid in my bed watching Spongebob(( i know im awesome)) as I waited for CM ((the old bestie)) to get outta work.
-then it was off to her house to pick her up && go to Old Navy && Wally World.
-on the ride there, we caught up on a bunch of stuff.
-namely her "i feel like i'm stuck in life." feeling.
-she explained to me that everything had become too habitual...that she wished she could just wake up every morning and say, "what would i like to do today?" and do it. ((wishful thinking my dear))
-she also told me how she felt things between her and her boiifriend were getting pretty boring/crappy.
-they both have money to do more exciting stuff then they're apparent movies && dinner routine but it seems he doesn't want to budge && do anything that costs more than 50 bucks.((LB and I are broker than broke but we refuse to have a boring summer of trying to save money and get no where))
-she also told me he doesn't really compliment her anymore, which I in turn said, "well maybe he feels the need not to, because he doesn't feel like he needs to impress anymore." which obvii is most likely true, but i mean yes we all love compliments. i think she's still wishing for prince charming...and i mean like, sweeps her off her feet every damn day of her life.
-another thing she told me was that she didn't really see him last week because she was uber stressed. now when im uber stressed or sad or mad or whatever, i wanna see LB because he always makes me feel better! ((but again, shes on the fairytale kick of a lifetime.))
-after talking and briefly shopping, i dropped her off and then went to the clarks. ((jay && amy))
-i felt a tad awkward because earlier when amy was texting me and invited me over, i kinda felt like she didn't want me to come without LB..but he was working, so take me as i am woman! ((lol))
- we watched we the people vs. larry flint while we waited for LB to get outta work..then had some cheeseburgers and fries. ((something that will undoubtly be a recurring theme all summer, since my friends always seem to cook it))
-then it was home.

Saturday
-i woke up around 11am because LB was calling me.
-he had to work yet again ((11-4)) because the new GM is a tard face.
-i chilled out most of the day, dozing off and watching some iCarly. (( i love kid shows! its true!))
-finally i got my lazy butt up && went && cleaned out my car. Charlie needed a good cleaning..there was crap piled in my trunk.
-after that I went to get some food. I was on my way to Wendy's when LB called && told me he was getting outta work, so I opted for Dunkin Donuts instead. Which is fine because honestly I could live on bagels && iced coffee.
-we chilled out, played some xbox && then went to Wally World to get a bday card for my younger brothers bday. ((which is today!! HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY BRO!!))
-then we went to the package store && got some smirnoff && beer.
-then it was time to go to Chris && Leah's ((cue battle music))
-we got there, hellos were exchanged, her friend came over who is actually dating Ty, this kid I've known since high school..who's LB's friend from Florida's brother. ((small world damnit!))
-we all chilled out, then I played some Wii Fit. Nothing like a video game telling you, you're obese in BMI standards && that you weigh 171 to make you want to run around the block tonite.
-honestly I think I weigh between 160-165. Which means I still am about 20-25 lbs overweight. ((damnit again!))
-then I played some Guitar Hero with LB.
-had some kabobs..which were awesome..and somehow in the meantime every little ounce of hate between Leah and myself went away..the next thing I know, I'm walking down the street with her to the gas station talking about life like nothing happened.
-we then procedded to throw marshmellows off her third floor apartment deck..at cars..((haha)) which seeded our friendship again! =)


((this a video of Tom && Paul ((half nakie)) being retarded with straws!! And Amandas in there too.))
Sunday
-got up around 11am again.
-got dressed && went downstairs to enjpy some birthday pie for my bros bday.
-yes that's right he wanted an apple pie.
-we sang, gave cards && then it was off to LB's.
-we chilled out && then went to get Swan.
-then it was off to Lowe's so that LB could return something for his mom.
-then to the doggie park so Mulli could run free with his other dog companions.
-then to the video game store to find moi a new game to play since I was getting bored of Call of Duty.
-we looked && looked && looked whilst having a convo with our favorite employee there, whos name I cannot remember.
-finally we settled on getting the Bigs ((again)). It's a baseball game..and I really enjoyed it..so I was excited to get it again!
-then we dropped the pup off && went to the grocery store, where LB and I argued over using the scanner till Swan went, "wait wait, so both of you have used it before?" "Well I haven't, so hand it over." ((lol))
-after that it was back to LB's to play some video games, && make some tacos.
-then we took Swan home..came back && played 1 vs. 100, then LB went to sleep && I played some more video games && went home.

So, as usual, it was a pretty good weekend! This upcoming Saturday I know that we will be going to Swan's to have a bbq..&& I think that's about it so far.

And I'm super excited about next month because I'm going to Jersey for a day && a half. I will be going to Englishtown Raceway in Englishtown, NJ for Waterfest 15!!! ((woot woot)) Obvii a VW car show..&& a big one too! I didn't go last year because I ended up going to Florida as many of you know...

So this year I'm going! And of course I will blog about it..;)

**Also, I know I did not start my new blog series "What I Love" Fridays because I caught up with work && making my myspace page for xbox. It will start this Friday 6/12**

The Best Friend.

This post is for you Bon Don! Please get outta your funk soon. And since you'd like me to elaborate on the story of Amy, I shall. =)

As previously posted LB has known the Clarks ((Jay && Amy)) forever. They didn't talk for about 3 or 4 yrs...and then one day they contacted each other. ((I don't remember how or when to be honest)). Soon enough though, we'd spend weekends over there, playing with the pups, drinking, talking, watching movies, setting off some fireworks. Occasionally, we would && still do take trips to Dave and Busters in NY. We also have an awesome ((yearly)) tradition of going down to PA to pick up the fireworks.

Amy has really become one of my best friends. =) ((again)) Since shes known LB forever, she will no matter what take his side. ((which is fine)) When I broke up with him, she stopped talking to me. She never said anything mean, just stood by LB when he was totally heartbroken. ((again, im a douche)). And the other week, after we all hung out again, she said it felt like me and her had broken up when LB and I broke up. But, she's happy having me back in her life.

((Excuse me while I'll interuppt this important blog story..DMB is on the radio..thery're in CT tonite..can someone please kill me now. I HATE THEM!..story for another time..lol))

I digress. Sorry.

Anyhoodle, the four of us really get along well. The Clarks both agree that the four of us get along the best because we are pretty close in age. I believe that Amy is 24 and Jay is 23. ((24 on Halloweenie)). As I said, they own their own home..its soo adorable! Amy works at her moms bagel shop full-time and Jay works for Tropicana delivering juice all day. I think they've married for almost 3 yrs now. They're a very sweeet couple, but the one thing people do comment on, is how old they act.

It's kinda funny to watch them sometimes. They almost act like the parents who have been married well past 20 yrs. They fight, make fun of each other, and oddly don't really touch. They throw dinner parties, go to picnics, etc. LB hopes we don't turn out like them..no offense I kinda hope not either..I like being young and sassy!

Anyway, I feel like this post is just a big lump of mess..so please, if you any questions, lemme know.

*****By the way, today I'm starting a new weekly feature called "What I Love" Fridays. I'll explain it all in the introductory post.******

"I Jumped in the Pool After A Beer And In the Process, Killed My Phone."

**WARNING LONG POST**

Swan said the above quote. ((lol)) That's what happened in OCMD when he went. Silly drunk people! He now has a new phone. It's all good. Onward, with the other exciting ((not really I lied)) news.

Monday night, I sent Leah a myspace message. It was nice and friendly..what she sent back was nice and friendly. She said Dan and I should come over on Saturday, so I can do that. I was the bigger person and gave in..so I can be an even bigger person and forgive but never forget what she said about me..or how she tried to personally attack me. I just have issues with girls.

I've given my trust and all to one and in turn I've:
a) been told I was a shitty friend by my best friend in high school of 8 yrs because her bf treated her like crap and she didn't like that I didn't agree with how he treated her. ((4 yrs later and a lot of abuse they finally broke up))
b) been stabbed in the back by this girl I spent bascially everyday with for a year, who decided that the boii I broke up with just the night before, would be a good booty call ((I was trying to get back with him too!))
c) had another best friend talk crap about me to my bestie ((she sorta isnt anymore again)) while they played tennis every sunday.
d) had j.dubs talk crap about me, and bascially make me feel like I was never ever wanted around.
e) had a friend who used me primarily for rides to "run" her errands, visit or find her now ex bf, and go to the pike.

So you can see why I have a lot of guy friends. No matter what they've been there for me. They've come in and out of my life, but I know there's a select few ((my brothers)) who I can count on. I'm not going to say I'm not entirely not to blame either. I'm sure I've done things that people don't like..but I try my hardest to be the best friend to someone and usually ((recently)) I've just gotten shit on.

There's been times when it's been me, and three other boiis in my car. Usually LB, Swan, and someone else. And sometimes I feel like someone is just gonna scream out that I'm a whore, but in fact the only person I "do" things with as you know is LB.

Right now, I currently have a couple of gfs and one best friend. Unfortunately, the bestie is longer "the bestie." As you know, we made up and such, but we both just are kinda in our own little relationship world. Which is no big deal, I'm sure I'll see her more when she moves in with her bf in August.

My current best friend is Amy. Even though, after LB and I broke up Amy and I pretty much broke up, we know have our relationship back on track! She's a sweet caring woman who's married to her high school sweetheart, who at 23 own there own house, and have 2 wonderful dauschand pups ((charlie and peanut)) and who in the next 9 mnths will try and have conceive! She is and always has been a good friend. The only thing though is no matter what would happen between me and LB, she would always take his side. Which is fair, because they have known each other forever. ((the 3 of em)).

I have been spending some more time with PA Lover, something that kinda dropped off when her and J.Dubs started hanging out all the time. And she was hanging out with this chick Kendall for a while too. I think she just kinda floats between gfs and that's totally understandable..she's that type of person.

In some juicy news: apparently J.Dubs and Lou are most likely going to break up. Apparently they had a big blow out Friday before they left for OCMD, and now I guess Lou is going home to Rhode Island ((where he's from)) for the week..the week they took off together mind you. I guess they were supposed to go to PA with PA Lover and Lil B this weekend, and apparently that's when J.Dubs told Pa Lover, who told me. Judging by their statuses on FB though, I kinda felt like it was coming. They were a decent couple, but time and time again, J.Dubs would flip on Lou if she didn't get her way or he did something stupid ((like step on her shoes!!)). And he would flip on her, if things didn't go his way. I think they "settled" for each other, which is the worse..in my opinion. Who knows if Lou will return next week and they'll patch it, or if moving on will be done. Either way, I'm staying "neutral." In a way I think the break-up is a long time coming but on the other hand, they've been together for a quite a bit of time, and should be able to work it out.

Anyway, sorry about the uber longgg post!!!!!!!! hehehe.

I'm Pretty Sure That I Laughed At the Expense of Your Heartbreak.

It's Monday morning, ya know what that means! Weekend Recap time! ((woot woot)) ::insert clap here::

Anyway, onwards!

Friday
-got outta work at 5 per usual. then it was off to my LBs
-we went and picked up the pup at doggie daycare
-then it was off to the grocery store to get some stuff to make taco dip
-made some taco dip for dinner and played some xbox
-some cuddling was done and some watching of the Disney Channel. ((lol))
-then it was home and to sleep.

Saturday
-got up at 930
-got ready and then it was off to LB's
-got everything we needed and then left for Charlie's appt for his oil change
-then at noon it was off to Boston!
-we got there around 215, and by the time we parked it was almost 3.
-we went to the science center which was pretty cool. we didn't really stop and do alot though because it was already 3pm and they close at 5pm.
-so we did as much as we could..and then headed over to the Galleria Mall.
-we hit up Borders because we needed to check out a map and figure out what the hell we were going to do!
-after that we took the Green Line (T) to Prudential Center
-walked around there a little bit and then had some dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen
-after that we went back to the parking garage and left.
-while we were in the science center, leah called, apparently she was inviting us over.
-LB txted her boyfrrreeen and said we would not be over because by the time we got home it was 1115.
-played some video games, and I was so tired, I ended up staying at LBs.
-which sleeping there sucks! because he has a twin bed. and I was pushed against the wall..and mulli ((his dog)) was making it hott, because he always has to lay between us at the end of the bed.

Sunday
-got up around 9am.
-hung out for a little then it was off to do errands for his mom.
-we went to Lowes to get exchange a hose, get some Preen, and a broom
-then off to Stop & Shop.
-its our local grocery store. and now they have scanners! its uber cool. you bascially get your bags ((we have the recycleable ones)) and then you scan and bag at the same time! like, say you want a can of mushrooms. you pick up the can, scan it, and bag it. and right there on the scanner is what you've "purchased" so far.
-then you bring to the self checkout or regular checkout ((doesnt matter)) and scan the barcode and it puts you're order in! then you just pay and leave, and you're all set!
-after that, we dropped the food off and then it was off to wings so LB could pick up his schedule..which didn't go so well. >.<
-apparently there's a new GM, because the old one "wasn't do anything right" and was moved down to a manager and then all of a sudden he was gone.
-and well apparently the new GM didn't bother to put LB on the schedule because they only met once and the new GM doesn't know LB that well and didn't know his availability
-and apparently the new GM doesn't know how to do his job because he never bothered to call LB ((which I think it the RIGHT way to handle it)) and ask him what his availability was.
-so LB went in there around 6 last night and talked to him and the GM said all that crap..and then gave him Friday from 5-slow ((whenever it gets slow)) and 11-4 on Saturday.
and also made a very unprofessional comment about how he thinks the place runs better with the old GM gone. ((douche!))
-but yet, I don't think it will fair any better, probably wayyy worse because a)he's being unfair with scheduling, he moved Amanda ((LB's other best friends gf)) to phones so now she's making way less because she can't collect tips. b)he decided it was better to have only 3 cooks, and only one on Friday nights..like wtf?! and c) he just seems douche baggish, like to the point where I think he would not even let a driver come up if they were super slow. ((i live out of the delivery area apparently))
-anyway, before that, we had taken mulli to the doggie park where he made a new friend, otis the pug. everytime i would throw the ball, mulli and the pug took off together...then they laid in the shade together...it was super cute.
-then we ate some dinna, played some video games, and then went to the bar for a bit.
-my favorite bar tender/owner was working..and it was super quiet. i really enjoyed it.
-jay is a super sweet guy, and we love talking to him. last night, we discussed how he doesn't wanna have kids or get married. i told him he was crazy! he's in this earlier 30s..but hey i guess that's cool either way!
-then it was home for me.

And that's about it!

**Also my title has to do with BP, I happened to see his away msg yesterday ((LB has him on his AIM list)) and he's all sad and depressed because his high school gf broke his heart..awwww..wait, did I say high school?! Yes, indeed, he went to her prom Saturday night, fucken creepy. So, I laugh..heheheheh.**
