No Cruising For Me Please

So my mom got free passes to see Poseidon at work the other day and so we went last night. First of all we had to sit in the second row at Regal which is way too close to the screen, especially for a movie like this where stuff is happening all over the screen. Secondly, a box of skittles that cost me $2 ( and is normally $3.75) had the amount of skittles of like a 50 cent bag. It was really insane.

Anywho the movie was very enjoyalbe. I never saw the original but this one was very entertaining I thought. Like cheesy and stuff but still really good and entertaining for the time it was on. OMG one scene with Richard Dryfuss and some other actor was crazy intense. I hope I am never in that situation. Well I kinda hope I am not in any of those situations.

Water that is on fire is scary. Fire is scary, drowning is scary, drowning in water that is on fire and burning you...too scary to imagine.

So anyway, that leads me to, I always had wanted to go on a cruise and evyerone I know who has went on one has loved them, and Diana was planning a "we have all been friends for 10 years cruise next year" but this movie terrifies me of it. Seriuosly you are out in the middle of nowhere if something happens. Yet all the food and drinks you can consume...that sounds mighty tasty....maybe it is worth the fire/drowning/sharks etc. ....

Confetti

So this weekend was fun except Friday night Confetti was supposed to come out. It looks like an amazing movie, like comedy about these couples who enter a magazine contest to pay for their wedding. I don't know, it looks hilaroius and (e:jill) thought she saw that it comes out May 5. So I get so excited, May 5 comes along, it isn't listed in artvoice, it isn't listed in the Gusto, but it must be up.... we start to panic. I go online and serach within 65 miles of my zip code deciding that is how far I am willing to travel to see it. But noooo it isn't....i begin to cry.....how sad.....it isn't up yet i guess...so we saw American Haunting instead which was funny....too bad that it was supposed to be scary. IT was pretty bad but it will give us years worth of jokes I can't meniton here...

From Essex St. Pub to Medicare

So I haven't posted in a little while. Frankly, life has been pretty good lately and I guess when things are really good I don't think of writing as much. So here are some observations from the last few days.

- a 13 hour workday with no break is no fun. Seriously I didn't get a chance to sit down for the entire THIRTEEN hours because it was so busy, including spending a half hour with this dumb stupid lady who didn't know how much was left on her flex card and got rid of one item at a time until her credit card would go through (it turned out she had about 23 dollars on it when her first total was $300. It takes a while to go from 300 to 23 dollars one item at a time while trying the card after gettig rid of each item)

-last night me and (e:libertad) went to Essex St. Pub and they were having their first ever karaoke night. It just doesn't seem like a place that would have karaoke night to me. Needless to say noone but the bartender did karaoke but we left very early so maybe it picked up after that.

-for those of you over 65 you only have 12 more days to sign up for Medicare Part D and avoid any penalty. You won't be able to sign up again til november if you miss the deadline. I'm a little excited because that means at least 5 months of not needing to deal with Medicare.

-This weekend is the weekend of a million things, Confetti( the movie me and (e:jill) have been dying to see) opens, Jen and her b/f who is on leave from Iraq are in town, it is Michelle at works going away party, cinco de mayo, and now I see it is (e:jenks) bday too. I believe some other stuff is this weekend too. Why does eveyrthing always happne this way, all at once!

-note to self: post next journal about former school mates attitude of "the city" and how scary buffalo is

I Guess My Brother Wasn't So Bad

So you may have all heard me talk about what a terror my brother ((e:paul)) was to me when I was young. For example knowing I was terrified of breaking contracts (yeah what like 5 year old thinks like that, I was a weirdo) but anywho convinced me to sign one that later involved me preteniding to be a dog in Wi;lson Farms. He would make me clean his room for a drawing of his or a pretzel cuz I couldn't reach the top of the fridge. And don't even get me started on chicken soup. Yet this is not what I was here to write about. My brother actually was a pretty good person.

My mom reminded me the other day when my little cousin was talking about nightmares that I used to have nightmares all the time when I was little and could never sleep. So my brother made me a dream hat that had all these drawings of good thoughts and my favorite tihngs on it. I kept it on my bed and it gave me good thoughts and I was able to sleep. So I guess my brother isn't so bad after all.

The weird thing is I have no idea where this dream hat is. And I have been having nightmares lately and wouldn't mind having it again. I have never gotten rid of anything in my life....i would hav enever gotten rid of the dream hat...so where is it?

Jenny's Bday and Life Dining

So today was one my best friend's Jen's 23rd birthday and so we were going out for dinner and decided to Dine out for life. I guess these restauarants donate money to some aids organization. We went to JP Bullbeathers and they donate 30% of your dinner cost to the charity. I think that is pretty cool. Me and my friend's birthdays have become so tame and less flashy and crazy from what they once were. I hope to revive the crazy old past wild days with my birthday in August. I better start planning now!!

Sidenote: i am losing my patience at work and am starting to be mean to customers> I told a lady all her problems were her fault basically and that she could take her prescriptons elsewhere and would still vahe the same problems. This would be ok in itself if Michele wasn't coming back and wasn't taking back her servicer stars which people have totally noticed how many i have and will notice when i lose them. And with the being mean..uh oh...what if i am no longer evyerone's favorite...i can't handle that.

Sidewalk Chalking

So me and (e:jill) went out and did so much sidewalk chalk advertising last night. They were really good ones too (ok some were bad, some had mispellings but overall they were good) And then I wake up tihs morning and it is all rainy meaning they are all gone. I hope some people saw them last night before they were washed away. We did talk to quite a few people while we were out though aobut the site which was good. Hopefuly there will be some new peeps in here soon. Did anyone see the ads before they washed away?

Good food and sitings

I haven't posted or kept up on reading the journals in a while and I still seem to have nothing to say except today I ate lots of good food. me and (e:amanda) went to the Juicery downtown and I had a tasty super veggie and tuna salad. Then we walked around downtown and I got starbursts which are my favorite candy or at least high on the list. AND THEY WERE ON SALE! What a deal. Then tonight I went to my mom's cousin and we always have so much good food there. We had baked ziti, meatballs, sausage with peppers, some like slow roast beef thing, and all these veggies and then tiramisu and mini cheesecakes for dessert. It was all so tasty..

OMG my cousin's little kid who is 2.5 years old talks like a 10 year old. It is insane. For some reason he took a liking to me tonight and wouldn't talk to anyone but me but seriously told me everything that has happened in his life. He told me about everythign he has seen such as Joseph and the AmazIng Dreamcoat, The Rockettes, Lion King, and Sponge Bob. He usses such big words like character and stuff too. IT was really insane how much he knows and can talk about for being 2.5 years old. Except someteims he refuese to use starting s's. SO he kept saying Kunk Pray is bad and I had no idea what he was talking about til his mom tolld me aobut he starting S thing.

Oh and the whole point of my post in the begiging. Today while walking down elmowod I saw (e:libertad), and then I saw (e:ladycroft) and (e:jenks). It was such the esighting day. It is always fun to run into people on the street. Hooray to summer and being outside and seeing people.

Cuteify my user pic

In the chat I was just reading that (e:paul) wrote:

paul 00:21 it takes online images and cutes them into userpics

Haha that struck me as funny. I want something that takes my image and "cutes"
it into a userpic. Though sometimes it seems some people have already found that magic and their image has been quite cuteified.
