De Facto Salt and Pepper Collector

Not sure if i used the term de facto right but I have been going through all the totes in my basement of stuff I have for an apartment that i have either bought over the last 10 years or inherited from my grandparents or my mom has bought and put in the totes and I realized I am the proud owner of like 15 different kinds of salt and pepper shakers so now I guess I collect those. I like it...

I also realized I have soooo much stuff, I was trying to write it all down so then I could see what i still need to get ( ireally want to move out in the fall and tihnk I am relaly gonna do it this time) and like 5 pages into my notebook later I realize I have enough stuff for liek 8 apartments. I also relaized some of the stuff I bought over the last 10 years I no longer like so it is going right to the garage sale box....how funny like I bought stuff that just got bought put in a box and now I am selling, never even used. I wasted a lot of moeney over the years, well we all know me, i am sure i got it all cheap and that is why i obught it cuz it was on clearance. ...

this leads me to tell eveyrone I am having a garage sale this coming Saturday and Sunday May 30 and 31 at 567 Auburn ((e:libertad)'s house). So istop on by.. i'll post more aobut it tomorrow

Good Quote About Madonna

I read this in Parade magazine (the part of the sunday paper most peole prolly don't even look at but i love especially the celebrity questions and ask marilyn!) anywho I just feel like it really summed up Madonna well.

The question was (and i know this at first doesn't seem to relate to Madonna but keep reading:)

Q: I hear there's a new Mike Tyson documentary, Why should we care about a prize fighter who threw it all away?

Q: Because it just might make us reconsider him. Tyson's writer and director, James Toback, offers an intriguing object lesson:

"some people have talent and mage it well. Madonna has absolutely squeezed out every drop of her potential. Mike is the total opposite. He never failed to achieve th most he possibly could- and then never fialed to destroy it. Mike wouldn't underatand someoneone like Madonna, who discovers what works and does just that and nothing else!"

there it is folks

Holly Hunter YouTube Comments, Still?

So it always amazes me that people just come across my youtube video about loving Holly Hunter that some of you may remember I made after being emailed by this television show that said they were interviewing holly hunter and wanted fans videos and they saw I loved her cuz i wrote a journal but it was actually about how ridiuclous her new show looked. Anywho, people somehow still view this video on youtbue and feel the need to make crazy comments, i juts got this today

DRDNIBOY has made a comment on I Love Holly Hunter:
Holly Hunter is a hick! And the show is based on hicks. And hicks don't like gays. So get a clue. And stop watching a show that denegrates not only God but glorifies hicks.

First off does Butte = booty with more of an a sound at the end cuz that is what i wanted it to mean. Anywho not much to say except this was prolly one of the worst days of work ever, it was so many problems and busy and crappy and stupid and kicked my ass for the full 13 hours. I woke up early , got there a little early thought i would get a head start and have a great day! No it sucked in every way that it oculd. It made me really want to like go out tonight cuz tomorow is looking like it will be just as bad at work and i hate just like gettin ghome at 930 eating , watcihgn a little tv going to be dand going back at 815 in the mroning when it is such bad days.i didn't go out though cuz i am tired,. i wish i had my own apt on nights like this , something about going home to my own apartment seems nicer and less dreadful. Ugh, thankfully tomrorw is the last day i work this week tough i did say i would go in friday a little if they really needed me cuz we have this whole inventory thing

17 Again!

So i celebrated earth day by driving to work on my 23 second commute, driving home on my lunch and then goin gto the movies tonight with (e:jil) land eating popcorn out of a paper tub and drinking pop out of a huge jug! Hooray for the environment! Anywho we went to see 17 Again, and wow it was a really good movie. i know you think lame-o flick but no it was really good. of course it is totally tailored to me and so of course I would love it but it was really funny and good. And it had cheering sequences which i love. The only sad part was when we realized we are exactly like half way between the highschoolers and the adult who turns 17 again! Ugh! That made me feel old! Me and (e:jill) are debating when it is no longer ok to go to these types of movies, but we think we still have a few years.

Oh the other really sad part of it is to tihnk Zack Effron can turn into Matthew Perry. At the end when he turns back it is just a slap in the face of reality. If Zac Effron turns into matthew perry twenty years after highgschool, what the frig do i become? A blob?

Ok that's all for now, oh and me and (e:jill) are thinking of getting friendship bracelets that have like half the heart on each person's? Weird? Or too cool/chic? We are gonna get cool ones , not lame ones, maybe no heart maybe just an engraved message! Possibly we need to get a life

Oh Toronto ..the things you will see

I will write more about my trip later but the main thing is I learned my lesson. If you are in a shadyish area, think hey look at that bar with the dark doors and up the stairs entrance, and really really just wanna drink and there are no bars around and a drag queen outside gives you a "you sure you want to go in there, you are not in Kansas anymore" look then

a. read the warning sign instead of being like eh what can it say
and
b. DO NOT GO IN

Needless to say we saw some things in Toronot I never would think i'd see with (e:jill) and (e:mk) or in public at all for that matter for a brief moment. I guess thats what we get for going in a bar called Goodhandys. I will tel lmore about all this later...

My Dyngus Day Good Deed

So last night me and the gang were going out for dyngus day and we tried to go to this place by the Broadway Market but the line was way too long to wait in I guess ....anywho.....we are drving and one of the PussyWillow busses (they were driving people from bar to bar) is turing by St. Stanislaus church and totally whacks this parked car on the side of the street and totally damages the side of it and ruins the mirror and stuff. So having myself known how lucky you are to have witnesses when you ar enot there and your car gets wrecked (ie my totaled drunk driver mitsubishi) I wrote down the liscense plate number of the bus and my name and phone number and left it in the windshield. Oh i forgot the best part between the bus and me was a cop car who clearly saw the bus smash into the car bu tthe cop , like the bus just drove away! Oh those are buffalo's finest right there for ya! I'm glad there always looking out for us! ANywho, so then of course i run over a like bucket of beer bottles but luckily my tires did not get cut. So anwho this is all the set up still.....

so my phone dies last night, i oculdn't find the cord when i got home to hcarge it so i found it this morning and left my phone at home while I was at work all day....so then i got two calls from the person whose car was hit....they were under the impression I hit there car and thanked me for leaving the note and left me their office number.....It turns out the person whose car it is is the Mayor of fthe City of Tonanwanda...ok maybe that doesn't seem super exciting but it is kinda neat, like i helped the mayor. I feel like it never hurts to have helped someone in a high place. That's my interesting story for today folks!

Happy easter everyone! I love easter, we have polish food which we would never have otherwise and is yummalicious. And as per (e:pauls) comment on hodown's journal I most certainly still have to search for my easter basket!!!!! How oculd I not? Though the hiding gets a little more lax every year, like it was just on the floor behind the ocmputer today, not so supersleuthy! I love chocolate at easter like the Merkel eggs they are the best !!!!!
