sorry i missed you guysi can't believe i missed all the action last night. i had an engagement to attend to and then...well...as the night wore on...i kind of forgot.
see this is what happened.
my friend who is like a soccer mom, living in wheatfield, never goes out. last night she managed to drag her ass to the bills game with a co-worker and somehow ended up at goodbar. she calls me at 10pm and asks what i'm doing. now, most nights i'm in bed by 10, but i had a bachelorette party i attended and was stopping by spot for a nightcap.
she calls me and asks me to meet her.
when i get there, i see her friend is obliterated and ask who is driving home. the friend insists she is perfectly fine and will drive her home no problem. i turn to my friend and say you better not let her drive you home or you'll be on the side of the road in a ditch. she turns to me and says, "um..you know what she told me?"
i'm like...."nooo?"
she's like..."she told me she smokes meth"
and so i'm like..."oh shit...that's some crazy shit!"
so, to make the short story long.....er.....i ended up driving her home and forgot about estrip.
i've been told i missed some surprise guests, for which i'm glad. ex #1 ended up showing up, which is soooo weird. thank god for that misconnect.
oh...and ex#2 calls today crying about how heart broken he is over the girl who left him. i told him that karma would come back to bite him on the nose.
no thanks...no boy drama for me.
oh yeah and i've missed jury duty for the second time in a row.....are they going to arrest me now? am i going to jail?

thanks for all the kind words everyone. i will be starting on 9/11 and will be working in carlton house. since i live in tonawanda (northern suburb of buffalo) i will have no choice but to drive. i kind of dread the parking as well, especially in the winter, but i dont think i have a choice.

Hooray for you!!
It's totally awesome that you got a job you really really wanted - welcome aboard! (which is funny because i haven't even started yet either...)
I really hope to meet up with you guys at Roswell - and actually - I kind of want to ask how you all get there - car? metro? walk? bus?
I've been kind of spooked by the things I've heard about parking, ie, vandalism, etc.(I'd be stationed in the Trico lot, I guess - *great*), so I'm wondering how others manage.
When do you start? Where will you be working?

I'm glad to hear it is offical and wish you the best of luck. I'm sure there will be a lot of new things to learn and new challanges. That being said when you do a job that is rewarding and will wind up benifiting someone it is worth it. I'm sure doing something new can be stressfull at first but i'm sure you will learn and pick up things as you go along and you will be fine.

Great pics thanks for sharing them. Not sure if I have a favortie picture. The first one with you taking the picture in the mirror is preaty cool. Some of the Blue and Red building are preaty neat looking. Looks like a good time. I also like the pictures in side the temples. I'm glad I did the slide show like you suggest that is a much better way of seeing them.

Flava FLAVE!i feel so guilty for putting faben onto the flavor of love show. i try to use it as an example of how NOT to act, but instead we just sit there and break on these chicks the entire time.
to those who don't know......the new season has begun and it is absolutely awful, one chick has actually doo doo'd herself right on the stairs! there are white girls who wanna be black, bisexual sex fiends, ghetto rats and country bumpkins who quote, "want dark babies"! god help me for watching this smut, but i just can't help myself, i love it! and i think some of you may know just what i'm talking about.
whatever, i listen to NPR all day long, i'm entitled to this

Did you say bisexaul sex fiends that is what I need. I admit I have only seen a few seconds of last season as I fliped chanels. So I guess he didn't find love last season. I will have to try and catch that I havn't seen any of the Surreal life or any of VH1 reality shows. But I still know that Flav fell in love with Brigdette Nelson and that spawned the first spin off.
I will admit I used to love Public Enemy. But you notice the guy with the show is the crazy Yeah Boy with the Giant clock, not Terminator X who they kicked out for being anti semetic or Chuck D the Concous of the group. I have no idea if any of them are still making music or not.

you hooked me at your pool. This show is like crack and there is plenty to go around.

I love that show! It's pure sleaze with almost no actual redeeming values, apart from a cool viking helmet and reliving the Public Enemy phase I went through in middle school. It kicks ass.
But if you want to try to distill some useful moral out of the show, I think it would be "have respect for yourself and don't put your self worth into other people's hands."
Let's be honest: Flav is a man and getting paid good money (and perhaps getting put up into a mansion if he doesn't own it) to have sex with upwards of two dozen attractive women every week on national TV. He gets to see said beautiful women literally claw at each other to be with him, which must be such an ego trip, especially with millions of people watching it. As long as Miss Right is never really found or splits with him soon after, the party keeps on continuing for Flav. Is there really any kind of incentive to pick one contestant and settle down?
Any self-respecting person would either milk the free publicity for all its worth and not take it seriously, or would refuse to be played like a violin and they'd leave. Being like New York last season and basing all her self-worth on her prospects of becoming Mrs. Flav is a lesson on "how not to act".

If you didn't let them know you could be in some trouble. Not sure if they show up to peoples homes any more they may just put out a bench warrent. From what I'm reading your friend needed you more. Espicaly when it is someone who doesn't go out much, hope the bahlorette party was fun.
