i have the most fabulous friends in the world. only my friends would go garbage-pick arcade game cases off the side of the road in the middle of the night. a new project!!!
mom’s gonna die lol
currently trying to find good pictures of old arcade cases so we can repaint these to look like a certain game. i found a good one of pacman, still looking for another one. this new project will be quite interesting i think. we still haven’t finished the last project lol.
i think i’m gonna get a cat.
you give me something i can feeeeeeeel
i promise, no u2 in the rest of this entry hehe
tuesday: i worked an hour and a half, everyone was at jasen’s preparing to watch the real starwars #1, so i headed out there.
wednesday: day off, back to jasen’s for #2
thursday: u2 day hehe. also a perfect circle’s new single, a cover of “imagine”, arrived on the net too, it’s delightfully creepy and sounds nothing like the original (thanfully haha). it was almost too much haha. made chili, went to canada with lei and james, played mini golf, got a few drinks, went to the arcade where we scored pretty quality prizes for an arcade…a shot glass, 3 sand stuffed amphibians, some stickers. went to the flying saucer restaurant after, since it turns out it is 24 hrs, then back home to bed. fun times.
work at 10 blaaaaaaaaaah
it’s u2 day!!!! the new u2 single “Vertigo” goes to radio today. it’s not the reason i posted the lyrics to “walk on” but hey it fits. and now i’m trying to restrain myself from posting tons of other u2 lyrics hehe. we put in “all that you can’t leave behind” in the stereo. it’s been…wow…ages since i listened to this album. it has it’s moments hehe. it’s made me all hyper! makes me really really REALLY want to be at a show. can’t wait til the spring tour!! 2 weeks vacation cuz we all know u2 actually WILL tour, and the album actually WILL be released, unlike mr reznor and his empty promises of a new album and spring tour. hehe.
a little re-review of “all that you can’t leave behind”
1. beautiful day – ok yeah no one can deny that it’s a great song
2. stuck in a moment you can’t get out of – good song, cute
3. elevation – hahah i’m sorry to my friends who had to deal with me in my huge u2 ness 3 years ago and having to be embarassed by me singing this song constantly
4. walk on – *drool* *cry* *grin* *hyper*
5. kite – nokitedoesnotmakemecry hehe
6. in a little while – tolerable, but as lei’s friend said, bono’s voice has not aged well and it’s VERY apparent in that song
7. wild honey – barf
8. peace on earth – barf
9. when i look at the world – better than barf, but only slightly tolerable
10. new york – i used to not care for this song on the album, but then seeing it live, and then the 2nd version after sept 11th made me like the song alot more, and just listening to it now, it’s totally rocking
11. grace – *HELP IVE GONE DEAF FROM SUCKYNESS* in the top five worst u2 songs ever (along with “miami” and “playboy mansion”) so maybe it’s the top 3…
hehe…i’m going to try not to revert to my 3 year ago self and fill every post with u2 related nonsense, but i make no promises. u2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gotta go shower, so we can go to the store to buy chili ingrediants cuz i’m cooking today, and have the excuse to drive around in the beautiful day blasting “walk on” in the car . so great to live with another huge u2 fan haha
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this can’t be for real. i got a spam email with the subject “how one can become a terrorist.” needless to say that caught my attention more than penis enlargment or buying cialis emails normally do. so i looked at the email:

WHATTHEFUCK!!!!
i’m such a basket case. i was laying in bed reading “vivian lives” (the sequal to the autobiography of vivian, which i finished last week) crying my eyes out through the oh…last 8 chapters or so. lol. i really can’t help but laugh at myself. it really is like i’m reading about myself. and while i haven’t had anywhere close to the same experiences, i’d probably react the same way. a neurotic scarred insecure basket case who pretends to know what she’s doing.
and i still can’t figure out if she is a real person or not.
either way i think it was supposed to be a bit encouraging and inspirational, but some how, at this moment, that backfired, and i feel more insecure and doubting than i normally do….the book plus other..issues to blame of course
“we’re all lost and lonely in certain ways. we are never as we appear; a subtle gesture that comes out of compassion, interest, and humility can be a breath of fresh air.”
so…a mini vacation recap
wednesday: ran all the errands i neglected to run over the weekend and early part of the week. went by the parents house for dinner, so my dad could transfer the pics he took on my new cam to his computer. headed home after. sanded and spray painted wooden tables in the dark.
thursday: went down town shopping to possibly pick up things to decorate the tables with. work party at the terminal in the evening. picked up james to head out there. did work which included picking up/setting up tables and saws…spent quality time with russell in the terminal while everyone else was out taking apart saws…sat in the terminal by myself in the dark for a half hour. creepy. lol. but my new project is going to be wonderful i decided. thursday night came back to the house and worked on decorating the tables, james finished his nucular painting.
friday: james and i went to this grant information seminar that was mandatory if we wanted to apply for this type of grant to fund the terminal art show…back to the terminal in the evening to help yuri pick up more chairs and stuff for saturday. got fed at the ukranian hall, which has a zhitnik jersey that he signed in…ukrainian. i thought it was pretty cool. and i ate perogies and gwumkie?!?!… mom will be proud. back to the terminal with the chairs, then we left to jasen’s to play poker. i lost first, james lost 2nd. they made me deal of course. haha.
saturday: picnic on the plaza which was less than extraordinary, but i had way fun. it included the below pictures. brian asked for a hot chocolate the size of james’ head, and that’s what he got. him drinking from it never got old. buca’s afterwards as is tradition. had a fun time, i thought. glad brian seemed to enjoy it too, since he was a buca virgin and all, i was worried he might not like it. everyone was too hyper from giant hot chocolates and red wine so we went to jasen’s again and watched Friday. funny ass movie. macaroni!
sunday: back to the terminal again (that’s 4 days in a row i just realized…) to take around a photographer from pittsburg. i had wanted to stay only from 1-3…left at quarter after 5. wasn’t going to go up to the roof, but ended up on the roof. but! i finally got access to the clock floor AND the clock rooms….gaaaah. i call that floor for my apartment when we turn the building into lofts. and when we were on the roof we saw a group of punk ass kids on the roof of the baggage building, so james went on down to crack some skulls…lol. headed home shortly after that. then work. which was boring. except for the black guy with the black white sox cap walking around who i thought was dr dre each time i saw him.
i had a really nice 4 days off. had a great time spending time with the people that i got to spend time with. it was really lovely.
flooring tomorrow, dealing tuesday, 10-6 dealing friday, 9-5 flooring saturday, flooring sunday. and no 4-midnight shifts BLAH. i was really hoping for some. tomorrow is sleeping in finally, and depending on what time i get up, going to pick up photos from color tech. i hate driving all the way out there.
i am a very happy girl right now. i just feel very calm and peaceful and content.
1. the strangest things depress me. things that should make me happy…or should not make me feel anything either way, depress me at times. i will explain no further
2. we have a massive fruit fly problem in the house
3. i sent my first accidental text message today, good thing it wasn’t complaining about the person i sent it to, like when tom started world war 3 with dana by mistakingly sending her a txt msg meant for me about her
4. work was so boring, i had to find stuff to do to kill 3 hours before they’d let me leave
5. i have the next 4 days off
6. i want a theramin. it’s a musical instrument and they cost 400$.
7. i really just want to play with a theramin, i don’t need to own it, cuz really, why would i need a theramin?
8. i forget the other things i was gonna say in this entry…
9. oh yeah…u2’s new album is called “how to dismantle an atomic bomb” interesting…i’m still weary. i so don’t want it to suck.
10. i heard a song on the radio yesterday by a band called jakalope. and i thought it was really really good. girl singer, sorta electrodustrial. it was cool. i thought “i need to find out more about this band, see what other songs they have”….later i find out trent produced it…lol they have a really annoying website though. album is released soon apparently
ug. i’ve been home alone all weekend cuz lei went home and took the dog with her (thankfully hehe). i haven’t done much of anything and kept putting off driving out to color tech to get some prints of my dad’s terminal photos. i kept telling myself i’d get out of bed before 3 tomorrow and go do it. and i wouldn’t. so i was really going to get out of bed before 3 today and go do it. except for the fact that i thought i was dying all night. it started at work but it was tolerable, then i woke up with horrible pain in my abdoment at 7am and couldn’t sleep because it was so bad. i was considering going to the ER, but instead i called my mom hehe. i figured…if she tells me to go to the ER i will, but if she thinks it’s something more along the lines of heartburn i won’t. she didn’t seem to think that it was hospital worthy, but said if i thought it was, she’d come pick me up and take me to the hospital. she figured it was some sort of indigestion (well, after she got over the fact that it was NOT my heart…the pain was nowhere near my heart, and after thinking i had a heart attack last year at work i know the difference between heart pain and other pain). the pain was so bad that i drove to wilson farms all scummified and in my pjs at 7:30 to buy something to take, cuz it was not going away on it’s own, and i couldn’t handle it. the stuff didn’t work fast enough but eventually it did and i got to sleep. and slept til 3 of course. so much for color tech today…
but when i got out of bed 20 min ago, mom had emailed me in a panic thinking that i had appendicitis and that i should go to the hospital haha. it went away as i said, and in reading the symptoms she sent me, i didn’t have them. i had looked it up too on webmd before i called her, and if anything i thought it was my gall bladder or spleen. but it doesnt matter anymore, cuz as i said 2 times now, it went away.
i’m scared to eat or anything tho, i don’t want it to come back. i’m not sure if i’d get written up if i was to call in tonight or not…give myself a 5 day break from work haha.
everyone pay attention to parmed commercials when they come on, as jasen makes yet another stellar performance in it!
