monday morning regret
friday got my ticket cleared up. i called the courthouse like 3 times on the way in desperate hope it would closed due to weather. i got there late - but it didn't even matter. i waited for about 3 hours. $110 - no points on my license. i guess i can't complain too much.
when i got home marla and i decorated the house to the extreme, listened to burl ives and drank hot cider and rum. i was a touching scene. apparently the mantle we have in our bar room is removable and we moved it into the dining room and decortaed that as well. cozy. later on people came over and we drank more rum and cider and watched "the aristocrats." it put me in a vile mood for the rest of the weekend. something about watching bob saget talk filthy made me disgusting. the things that came out of my mouth this weekend really surpized me. and i think everyone around me as well.
saturday. game day. going to this game may have been the 2nd biggest mistake of my life. the first being getting completely wasted at it in front of my coworkers. i spent yesterday looking for a new job as i couldn't fathom coming in today. but here i am - hiding out for dear life in my cubicle. if i can just hide for the next month hopefully it will be forgotten.

23 is the new 33
luna and roxys were fun last nite. my chest still hurts from roxy smoke. i sang 'beast of burden.' after the first verse my lyrics shut off. it is funny because i know every word to that song - but i blanked. yikes. i almost choked but luckily pulled myself together.
after roxys i stopped by coles to say hi to my sister. while i was there i started chatting with 2 gentlemen who were quite sweet. after about 20 minutes, the one asked how old i was. "23," i replied. this guy acutally says back to me; "oh man! i totally have an older brother that is perfect for you!"
i am never going out again.
to make matters worse, after exiting directly after this i fell right on my ass on the ice outside.

i overdrew my bank account by $436.52
with every good thing there is some bad.
good thing #1:
i wanted to get my dad a business card scanner for christmas. yesterday i got one free from work!
bad thing #1:
i overdrew my bank account by $436.52. that is real bad. i don't understand how i have the best paying (if not the only paying) job of all my friends and i am the one that is always broke! holy crap it is gonna be a dollar store christmas.
good thing #2:
i won a $250 dollar gift card from best buy at work today. maybe it wont be a dollar store xmas after all.
bad thing #2:
dinner last nite was torture. my uncles girlfriend it the worst. it was so uncomfortable i almost had to leave. they have been together about a year. i havnt really liked her off the bat. i hate to be a girl hater - but she is so awful. i wont launch into detail too much, but last nite she spent dinner talking about when they are married and birthing their children. i'm sorry, but in my family these are not subjects to be brought up in front of my grandmother with out a ring on your finger. i thought poor nana was going to faint. man, that was awful.
i know with the current status of my checking account i shouldn't be going out...but its wednesday! luna then wherever later

mooshu who
last nite theresa and i ordered chinese and settled down for my guiltiest of pleasures - The Gauntlet.i drove from her house on Bryant to pick it up at that place on the corner of Elmwood and Delavan. When i got it back to her house i noticed the veggie mooshu i ordered was chicken mooshu. i called and they offered to deliver which was badass. theresa was excited at the prospect of more left overs. but when i went downstairs to meet to deliveryman - he asked me for the other back. i find this bizarre. what was he going to do with it? gross
i was awakened at 5am to my room shaking and pounding with music and dancing. i hate my housemates. hate. them. seriously - 5am on monday? what the hell. i don't want to be the cranky neighbor, but this is ridiculous.
cecilias tonite for matt's bday (my uncle.) i can think of nothing better for a 25th bday present the Trapped in The Closet Volumes 1-12

ellis and douglas
eread Less Than Zero today. i havnt read it in a long time. i think the first time i read it i didn't really grasp it, because now that i just read it again i am so blown away. it is wierd how that happens. different life experiences make you identify so much more with something that was just 'good' before.
anyways. today i did the tree thing as well. for whatever reason my mother felt the need to get one for the upstairs living room and the down stairs family room. this seems fairly unecessary to me. i got a small tree for the apartment as well. i wanted to get a normal full size douglas fir - but the idea of transporting it in the colbalt back to buffalo and moving the furniture etc. for it seemed more trouble then its worth. i ended up with something a little more charlie brownish. i will provide photos when i am home and it is decorated.
ps - don't leave (e:jason)

rochester nite
in rochester tonite. needed a break . something about coming to my parents house that is soo soothing. seeing my parents together, seeing my puppy, my brothers... is it wierd to miss home at 23? maybe i just miss good food and a thermostat turned past 58.
last nite we did tudor , hardware, pink - the usual friday sequence. i skipped out on the party on highland with the girls to hang out with the boys. bad idea. i kinda regret it. tudor just annoyed me. there is only so many times i can hear harrington sing 'Obsession' at karoke. the girls said the party was fun too, like a broadway joes renuion from the old days.

buy me this
another brief story about how ridiculous my job is. the man in the cubicle next to me sneezed earlier. i said " god bless you." he acutally complained to HR about my religious propaganda. my manager pulled me aside and told me to watch what i say. wow. a few minutes ago the sneezer informed me that i can say "may the druids watch over your spirit" next time he sneezes. i told him i didn't appreciate his satanic black magic viewpoints.
i also just got back from a training in the new IPAQ's coming out. i'm obsessed. i never realized how bad i needed a pocket pc until today.
i love you:

r.kelly is a lyrical genius
last nite after the game i went back to the 1039 house. i didn't realize you couldn't park on elmwood over nite anymore so i paid tony $4 to move my car at 12:55. i can't believe he did it. the catch was though, he wouldnt tell me where it was. at the time, this seemed like a great idea because i didn't have to leave the warm house and i was in the midst of a rousing round of the Trapped in the Closet drinking game. this proved to be a terrible idea this morning when i wandered around a 4 block radius in the snow for 45 minutes.
so the trapped in the closet drinking game you ask? ah this was the brainchild of scott a few weeks ago. seriously the dvd of volumes 1-12 with the commentary is most likely the funniest thing i have seen in a long time. we made it so you have to drink at certain points during this cinematic masterpiece such as when r.kelly talks into the wrong camera, when 'big man' (a midget stripper) takes a puff of his inhaler etc. i have never seen someone take themselves as seriously as r kelly does.
okay this may be one of the most embarrassing entries ever. not only does it show how lazy i am - but that i have seen "trapped in the closet" more then once

luna nite
la luna nite last nite. that open bar kills me. it is one hour - but apparently i have no self control. i drank my face off. then danced like a maniac with the boys. i think i saw my boyfriend that looks like a girlfriend making out with a guy. surprize surprize. seriously what is it with these emoscenster boys lately? i feel like everyone is confused about their sexuality lately. supposed straight boys making out with boys and girls making out with girls making out with boys. my straight man friends were making out last nite and then one of them turned around to bring me home. i don't get this. is this the new wave of sexuality? is it a fashion trend? am i being naive?
later at roxys the boys did a duet to 'obsession.' it has been in my head allll day.
sitting rinkside tonite. hopefully this time wont get in a fight.

my ergonomic evalution
i love corporate america. today i had my workspace ergonomically evaluated. there is an employee for my company whose actual job it is to evaluate the way people sit and work in their cubicles. this lady spent about 10 minutes looking at my desk setup and how i work. it was decided that all is needed to cure my bad posture, back pain and headaches was a keyboard tray! here is a copy of the actual email she followed up to my manager with:

Subject: Workstation Ergonomic Evaluation
Dear Tom,
Today, I completed an ergonomic workstation evaluation for Jessica. She has been experiencing back and
shoulder discomfort. I am not surprised! She is sitting facing one way and her keyboard is in one direction
& her monitor is in another direction. She is also reaching for her keyboard, which pulls on her back and
shoulders. I recommend the installation of a keyboard tray. This will allow Jessica to work in a forward
facing more neutral position.
A used keyboard tray is available, so the charge back will be $21. If you approval of the installation, please send
me your cost center code. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

update on the flat tire disaster:
went to another garage. it was sliced open pretty bad apparently. and yes i need to replace the whole tire. they told me since it is a new car i need a new tire. which i am now suspecting is bullshit. oh and also the tire is available no where in buffalo. so it has to be ordered. i would really like to know how there is no tires available for the most popular car of 2005.
dyan comes back home tonite from dallas. she is going to be here for a while - almost a month - which is sweet. the only thing that sucks is that i lose my platonic husband (her bf.) he will be missed.

Hello hello 
moz://a
I saw bob Saget do stand up and he was verry dirty I have no idea how he got full house (I used to watch it everyweek). On a side note You should see the guy who played Skippy from Family ties I have heard he is verry dirty also but funny as hell. That movie sounds more like a thinking comedy like I can apricate it, and understand it, not a ha ha funny type of movie I still do want to see it.
Anyway, there are two real reasons why I am writing to you today.
1) Everybody thinks I am leaving the site, it is not true, I never said that - I said I am not journaling. I will continue my sniping role and comment on journals I think are interesting.
2) I was very mean to another (e:peep) today in my commentary. Don't get me wrong, I loved it and they deserved it, but I have to have some balance. So I will be very kind to you - don't worry about being drunk in front of coworkers. What's done is done, if they aren't complete morons they will know that isn't who you are 100% of the time. Don't be so hard on yourself!
Take it easy...
