Brad(RB) just told me that he’s never heard me laugh. Now everyone that knows me knows that I laugh ALL THE TIME right? And my laugh is well-known right? I need some support here…comment and tell Brad about my laugh.
Yesterday in Michaels I was behind these ladies who were signing up for classes and buying shit and basically taking a long damn time. After awhile another cashier comes up to the same lane and kinda looks around for a second. Just then this couple saunters up to check out, and Cashier 2 realizes a line is forming. And nobody likes to wait in line right? So being the customer service oriented cashier she is, she walks over to another lane and says “I can help whoever’s next in line over here.”
Note her words: NEXT in line. That’s me right? Well the couple who had just sauntered up continued to saunter, more quickly now, over to this new open lane before I could even react. So I, who had already been waiting behind the two signing-up-for-classes-and-buying-shit ladies forever, had to continue to wait while the two we’re-assholes-who-don’t-understand-the-meaning-of-the-words-next-in-the-line people got to check out right away. I was so pissed, and if I wasn’t such a wimp I might have said something. Instead I just glared, and trust me they noticed. I bet they’re still buried in guilt over the incident.
Also, I was in Michaels on Saturday too, and I got stuck behind this lady who was buying approximately 574 sheets of scrap-booking paper, each individually marked. I really need to get control of my patience issues because I think if she had bought 575 sheets, I might have started slashing people with an Exacto knife.
My mom has this huge aquarium for which she just bought 10 fish. My sisters, mom and I watched them for awhile yesterday and got all involved in their lives. First we named them all. The blue/black fish are Sam and Lola. Together they have Fred, a blue/black girl. The orange/black fish are Manny and Mona; no kids. There were three yellow fish that we couldn’t tell apart so they all became the Rogers family. Then there was the bastard black fish that swam around intimidating everyone else. We called him Shitface. He was an abusive husband to Nora, whom he forced to stay in the corner of the tank at all times. Every so often he’d swim up to her corner and dart at her violently, just to scare her. One time she ventured out for food and he quickly chased her back to her corner. We monitored the situation carefully, and after a few uncalled for incidences from Shitface, we sent Social Services in there with a net and flushed the fucker down the toilet.
Unfortunately within minutes of his banishment (and death), Sam took over as Alpha male! He was chasing Nora all over the tank trying to demonstrate his dominance. I swear, males are all fuckers with superiority complexes.
What else did I do this weekend? Friday was Phil’s pizza and I finally watched St. Elmo’s Fire. Saturday was Zoet Craft Day where I made some rockin’ jewelry. Then since everyone in the world got sick or had their tires slashed, there was no bar. Instead I went to Robin’s to see her dress and work on a project. Then I helped plan my sister’s open house, watched Emily get drunk on Arbor Mist, and did some naked hot tubbing with the girls. Sunday was church where I sat through the SAME sermon I heard at TVC the last two times I went (over the last 4ish years). What are the chances? More open house planning and invitation making, visited mom, then drove home to Jackson where the snow hasn’t melted yet like in good ol’ GR. Fuck snow. And that’s it!
Happy Birthday Pops. Your card’s in the mail.
That’s all I have today.

I was in some kind of modeling competition. Maybe like a reality show, but there were no cameras. I did really good in the ‘dress’ part even though I wore an orange dress, which is definitely not my color. The judges walked around us scrutinizing everything, it was very uncomfortable.
Then we all went to our rooms. We lived in this huge mansion, but it was dark and scary. Not like the ones on true realty shows. And in the middle of the night I heard my roommates (and fellow competitors) outside. I went out there and it was rainy and scary and I walked across a big field to where they were. They were obviously conspiring about something, but wouldn’t fill me in.
In the morning it was the ‘bathing suit’ portion of the competition. And I realized that my bathing suit was missing. The other girls tried to tell me that the maid threw it away, but I knew something was up. So I searched the whole house and right before the competition started I found the bottom piece hidden somewhere. I bitched my roommates out because I knew they were trying to make me lose.
I never did find the top half of my suit and I think I did the competition topless. I wanted to keep sleeping to see if I won, but my alarm kept going off. Fucking alarm.
Okay you guys were absolutely NO help on the commercial issue. You’re all fired.
This entry goes out to Brad who’s as bored as I am at work today. Oh, to clarify the Brads, I decided Brad from Jackson will be Brad(RB) and other Brad will be Brad(BB) and my lover Brad Pitt will be Brad (P). Not that there’s much to say about Brad(BB) because apparently he’s become an ass in the last couple months. But Brad(RB) hasn’t been too much of an ass yet, except he does this weird thing where he follows up any compliment he might give me with a bit of sarcasm. What’s up with that? But he did let me school him in Tetris last night. We won’t talk about what happened during Tetris 2 or Super Wild n’ Crazy Crack Monkey Ball (whatever).
Okay that’s all I can say about him cuz he reads this now.
Everyone loves American Idol right? Of course you do. And everyone knows Robin is in lust with Constantine right? Yes. Well girl, this one’s for you:
It’s the best I could find. But damn, with that ponytail…
When American Idol is the best thing you have to talk about, it’s time to give up.
Does anyone remember that one commercial that was trying to get kids to take care of their teeth? At the beginning they ask kids what teeth are made of and then they show different kids answering. Then there’s some PSA type announcement about proper dental care. And at the end there’s an adorable little boy who goes “Dental floss?” and screws up his face inquisitively. It’s not on anymore, but does anyone know what I’m talking about?
Okay, here’s the real question. When that last kid says “dental floss” does he mean it like “Perhaps teeth are made of dental floss”? Or like “Hmm..what the hell is dental floss?”? I won’t tell you which I believe to be true, but please help me settle this argument!
(I tried to find a clip or something. No luck. Just please know what I’m talking about.)
So what does everybody think about buying a digital camera from ebay? I found a camera I want, but it’s hugely expensive in stores. I found the same camera on ebay for something actually within my original price range. And more than one, so it’s not just some fluke or whatever. They’re all brand new, factory sealed, all that. And I’d be sure to get one that came with the standard warranty. But I’ve only ever bought little dinky things from ebay.
Any thoughts? Advice?
I REALLY want a camera and it’s my goal to have one before I leave in the summer/fall. Please help dear friends.
For the second time in two days, I’ve been told my face looks “healthy,” which in both cases followed some remark along the lines of “You look like you got some color”
What does that mean? Did I look sickly before?
(none of my icons were brown or anything close, so I went with blue (purple?))
Crap. I forgot to post about how cool yesterday was. My favorite day of the year. 4/4!! Amber-did you do anything special?
So the trip was pretty fun. Robin and Justin, you should send me any pics you took. Since I am still living in the technological stone age, my photos are trapped on my disposable camera until I can afford to develop them.
I want to be outside. I’m so happy about this weather. Everyone that gets to be outside today before 5:00, enjoy it for me kay?
