Latest Chatter (old)

  • tinypliny 22:11 I wanted to take a butcher's knife and draw and quarter all the actors (especially the lead) after gutting them.
  • tinypliny 22:10 Don't ever see that movie, btw
  • tinypliny 22:10 The last time I wanted that was some move called broken english - but alas no one died!
  • tinypliny 22:10 hehehe
  • jim 22:01 Just saw 2012, the movie. OMG too long. I wanted all the characters to die by the end.
  • jim 00:33 Movie over time for sleeeeeep.
  • tinypliny 00:16 Aarrrgh. Home remedies without basis
  • tinypliny 00:16 because it doesn't
  • tinypliny 00:15 Unless they mean it increases the white cells - which makes no sense
  • tinypliny 00:15 I mean mucus is like white cells and infection jumbled together - the immune reaction to an ongoing infection - how does milk increase this?

12/03/07 00:59 - 42ºF - ID#42375Enchanted
Enchanted was really good! Like super good! Me and e:jill went the other night and I loved it! I think she liked it a lot too! Like it was kinda just like one of those old disney cartoons but like newish and fresh! The girl playing the princess was relaly good adn the little girl was so cute! Everyone was really good in it! I can't get the songs out of my head and just keep watching scenes from it online. Yes, yes maybe I am really a 12 year old girl. You know why I am writing this right now:? Because I should be studying for my lab final tomorow!

I especially loved the part where she is singing "how does she know" in central park adn eveyrone joined in. So classic disney and so great!

Here is the trailer for anyone who doesn't know what movie i am talking about.

12/04/07 23:12 - 24ºF - ID#42398Fancy Balls
So ever since seeing an incredibly amazing episode of Gossip Girl a few weeks ago I have wanted to have a masquerade ball. And then after seeing enchanted I just wanted like a fun formal ball. And then wham bam thank you mam two come right my way. One my friend Rachelle finally convinced Danielle to let us use her house for a masquerade ball for Rachelle's bday in January! She has a cool masquerade ball like house I have heard.

And then e:amanda told me about this tonight. It looks like fun, yo uget to dress up and drink and eat and be merry and the money goes to charity....

I can't get the link to work for some reason so you will just have to type it in.

it seems like it will be fun, excpet last time me adn e:amanda were at a formal at the Statler we got kicked out and she almost wasn't allowed to graduate college....hopefully it turns out to be just as fun this time!

12/10/07 23:30 - 30ºF - ID#42466It's Officially Over
So i officially decided yesterday that I am not going to Pharmacy school. I told my parents, coworkers and dermatologist. That makes it pretty official. THey all have differing degrees of dissappointment but frankly I hate science, and I don't care if you don't really do it on the job, I can't do it for 4.5 more years and then if I don't like science should I relaly be a pharmacist anyway. Like i relaly don't find it interesting at all...so now I need a new life plan...possibly winning big in the lottery or at teh casino? Or opening a store, I love cash registers, maybe a cash register store? haha. I need to find something ough, possibly I'm thinking going back to school for my masters in sociology and work twoards a pHd and becoming a sociollgy college professor. Or maybe a socioal studies high school teacher except I fear my life is too much on the internet alreayd for that. Too many pictures, too many stories, and I come up way too fast when you google search for britney's privates. !

12/13/07 13:47 - 28ºF - ID#42502What A Wonderful Wintery Day
Seriously I love today so far! I woke up at like 10:30 to the smells of sauce cooking in the kitchen. My mom does not make sauce as much as she used to and there seriously is no feeling as great as waking up to the house smelling of some wonderful sauce cooking! It seriuously makes me feel so good! So it doesn't end there, I come down and my dad had went to my cousin's so I decided to shovel for him. It was actually kind of fun cuz the snow wasn't too heavy and it was the first time for the year so it wasn't so bad and it was nice to surprise him. Then me with a little help (ok lots of help) from my mom made the mini cheesecakes I will be bringing tonight to the party.

Then we hung some lights in our windows that are twinkly stars that i love. And then I wrapped my gifts for the needy children tree at church. And now I think I will go on to working on my home made christmas cards. (which hopefully will be coming out soon!) My day kind of sounds like a Hallmark commercial frankly so far and I LOVE IT!

Unfortunately I have a memorial mass for my mom's cousin tonight who passed away. But she was really sick for a long time. I will be at the potluck after that. ALl in all so far a wonderful day!

(P.S. i tihnk it is even better because I am not stressing over my chem final tomororw now that I am not going to pharmacy school!)

12/16/07 17:30 - 21ºF - ID#42542Oh Eckerd Parties and Funeral Homes
So as always Eckerd get togethers some how break down into some kind of insanity, be it videotapped strip beer pong random coworker make outs or whatever. Well last night after a start at Malone's (a classy Kenmore local drinking establishment) , lets just say the night ended with some hide and seek in a funeral home and a fake wake. That is all I can say about that right now, but interesting night with my eckerd peeps as always!

Today I planned on doing so muhc since it is so crappy out. Like decorate the tree, make my chritsmas cards, walk to work and do some of the ten million hours of computer training we need to do. So now it is 5:30 and I have done none but I am about to eat for like the 10 tenth time. Hopefully I will start on the cards right after that and now my om is home ows we can decorate the tree! YAY!

12/17/07 23:11 - 24ºF - ID#42563Christmas Cards Oh Christmas Cards
I love making christmas cards but am way behind the ball this year. I am just at the "Oh crap" where do I keep everyone's address stage which is the first step for me. I like to address the envelopes first and then make the cards after. For some reason it feels better that way. Like i never throw out/cross out old addresses so I have no idea which address is right and s othen I have to check with everyone. And then where are everyone else's saddresses? I sent them last year, i must have written it down somewhere. ugh! Anyway, I also still don't have a great idea for the cards! Here's hoping they come out well....it seruiolsy makes me so nervous wanting them to be perfect. I also found out I DO NOT know how to do caligraphy. Seriosly, each address looks completley differnt and many look like they were written by a parkinson's patient more than in a caligraphy style. Eh , hopefully they will be at people's houses by like a day or two after christmas!

12/20/07 17:14 - 32ºF - ID#42601MY CAR IS TOTALED - DWI STYLE
YEAH! It's true, Merry Christmas Mike , here is your car scattered across the intersection of Lexington and Elmwood!!! Thanks Santa! So last night around 10:30 , i am leaving and go to get in my car when what do I see...A HUGE WRECK OF A MESS OF A CAR! Seriuosly like the whole truk is smushed up or not attached to the car anymore, the back windowm is completely shattered adn the front of the car is completely bent up!!! GREAT!!!! As I get to my car the police are arriving, here is what witnesses said happened,

Well first they asked me if anyone was after me because it seemed like the person hit me on purpose cuz they rammed my car so many times. And i started to go through my head everyone who I have wronged but I couldn't think of anyone who would do that, but thenI realized I had an estrip bumper sticker adn I thought "does someone hate estrip" ...well anywho it turns out it wasn;'t a personal vendetta but a drunk driver....and here is what happened

they witness said they saw the SUV turning from Lexington onto Elmwood adn it smashed right into the back of my car which was parked on Elmwood, which then smashed my car into the car parked in front of me and then that hit the car in front of that!!!!! And I guess my car got shoved under the car in front and then was attached to the SUV so she kept going back and forth trying to get my car off!!! And hit it like 4 times! So even though all this happened adn there were witnesses , SHE JUST DROVE AWAY! Luckily the people had the liscence plate and the polic officer said they caught here a few blocks down luckily! That makes one COMPLETELY TOTALLED CAR! e:paul and e:libertad have pictures which I hope they post soon. Luckily e:libertad was there to knock some common sense inot me and get me to take everything out of the car and pack it up to be towed!!!!!

I tried calling my parents because the tow guy wanted to know if I should have it towed but I figured my dad had a guy, cuz he always has a guy in situations like that but MY HOUSE LINE WAS BUSY, cuz they were tlaking to e:pual WHICH SREIUOSLY THEY NEVER TALK! What are the chances that that is exactly when they were talking. Eventurally I talked to e:paul who came to take me home and I got ahold of my dad who said to let the tow truck take it. My insurance companies computers were down so I had to call again this morning to report it cuz last night they just wrote it on paper or seomtihng.

I went and got a rental car today which I have to pya like $5 a day for cuz the insurance doesn't cover all of it but her insurance will be reimbursing me hoepfu.lly! no actualyl they will be, i will make them!!

I freakin loved that car though, it had everything and every amenity, I am sure I will not get enough money for it to find another car like that!!! I am so pissed! I only had it for three months and had to get it becuase my last car was totalled by a drunk driver over the summer!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRR!!!!

And according to enterprise , insurance companies usually allow you to have a rental for 5 dyas, so that gives me from now until Christmas to find a car! Um no i cna't do that that first you crazies! Hopeully they will extend it when I call tomororw. I don't even have the money yet, they won't know til the report on saturday what I will get so then that leaves me what sunday and christmas eve to get a car!?!?"!

I will never get a car like my last one prolly , it was so nice. WE called the dealer where I got it but he said he didn't have any more like it but he will look for me!!!

UGH! THis sucks! So end of the story is I didn't finish my chrismatas cards last night so a very limited amount of people are gettin gthem and they will be very late!

WHY ME!?! seriuslly i want my car back! You stupid whore! Why did you hit my car! I hate yoU! I can't wait to get teh police report! What if it is someone I know, that would be insane!!!!

P.S. in the whole debacle I lost two tihngs, my aunt had given me a like cross thing for protection in the car and my mom had given me this kind of the road key chain which i kept in the change thing. Well i oculdn't find either cuz the whole little drawer/change thing flew open adn stuff was everywhere mixed with debris and shattered glass I didn't relally want to dig through!

UGH!!!
Here are some pics from the scene - added by e:paul

12/21/07 17:35 - 38ºF - ID#42612Time For A New Car
So I have like two weeks to find a new car before the rental runs out...great! Anywho I kinda want an SUV now, like I won't get one but seriuosly if you saw my car and then read the damage to her car, there is no comparison! Mine is smashed to shreds and hers is not nearly as broken, I mean she drove it away, mine couldn't be driven 10 feet. I for sure would have died in the accident. WIth eveyrone else having one I would totally feel safer in one. I won't get one I'm sure but I would feel safer!

12/24/07 01:06 - 29ºF - ID#42630A Lil Bit Country
So my rental has 106.5 the country station in the presets so I flip to it a lot and I find myself sticking with it without relaizing. Like I will be like hmm what song is this, its not bad, and then I realize I am listening to the country station. I think I don't mind country music as much as I thought I did. I guess it has all the things I love, heartbreak, craziness and a side order of twang!@
