Yep that's me

"You are impulsive, romantic, impatient, and perhaps a bit too brutally honest."

LOL That's soooo funny.

Hmm, interesting

Take the Quiz here!

You are Emma Woodhouse of Emma! You like being the queen of your social circle (small and provincial as it may be), and feel it's your duty to help those less influential than you. You often meddle in the affairs of others, though you do it with a pure heart. You are often deluded in your flights of fancy, but your good intentions and creative spirit make you someone anyone could like.

Which Jane Austen heroine are you?

Take the Quiz here!

You are Elizabeth Bennet of Pride & Prejudice! You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of ridiculousness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed.

P.S. I know this is girly, but does Scott even read this thing anymore?
P.P.S. Carrie, post yours!

I'm miserable.

I'll be home by May.

Sad

I miss Heath Ledger.

Jerry O'Connell Is My Hero

For all that have seen the ridiculous Tom Cruise Scientology video, here is a spoof created by Jerry O'Connell. FREAKIN HILARIOUS.

Broke-Ass

I bruised my tailbone. :( It hurts.

mediocre beaches, dying of frozation, california the motherland

Far be it for me to complain, because I AM breathing, living rent-free and working for a good company - THO I have every right to do so...so I'm gonna!

1) It's cold as shit here....39-ish to be exact. It rains too damn much. I wouldn't mind so much if, occassionally, I felt a nice ocean breeze...BUT NO breeze, just damn cold and I don't like it anymore.

2) I'm sick for what seems like the third time since I've been here (5 months). I NEVER use to get sick at home, maybe once a year...I think I'm allergic to Texas.

3)I'm going to Galveston tomorrow and though it IS the "beach" its an extremely pathetic excuse for one. I'd take Imperial Beach over Galveston (and that's sayin alot).

4)Oh and this isn't a complaint but I saw The Bucket List last night. GO SEE IT....I loved it. I'm not going to give anything away but let's just say I want to find my joy and I'm 99.9999999% sure it's NOT HERE. Life is too short; simple as that.

Send some wellness vibes my way. My throat is pretty sore; always the first to go. I am really hoping it doesn't get worse. Hope all is well with you.

I'm excited to hear a review from Anna, if in fact you do go see the movie. ;-)

Love to all.

Willow Lovebeads lives!

Glenn Coco, this is totes your BFF/alter-ego Willow Lovebeads, isn't it? A lady named Willow, in the San Francisco area, trying to sell her vaj couch? Could it be anyone else?

I Tumble for ya

Guys! Heads up! Thumbs down! What?! Pay attention. Get a Tumblr. It's less than a blog, but more than, say, Twitter? I don't know, I have no idea what Twitter is. Nevermind! Sort of like Facebook but not as stalker-y, sort of like Blogger but easier to use, you can just sort of add shit from the internets or your own mind (whichever's less scary) with the click of a button. Read this NY Observer piece about 21-year-old (!!!) Tumblr founder, David Karp, then check my Tumblr out, then get one of your own and post the link here so everyone can enjoy it.

Your lives are over

Facebook has been told to pull Scrabulous off the Internets! I think for copyright infringement, basically because it has the exact same rules and stuff as Scrabble (which apparently has its own free online version, not that I can find it--maybe on Yahoo!?). I guess you can't put a new cover on War and Peace, call it Stuff That Happened in Russia, and expect to get away with that, either. Sorry guys! I won't miss it, but Glenn Coco sure will. [Gawker]

Question for the Panel

So for those of you that know me really well...I have a question:

What do you think about me moving back to San Diego at the end of the year?

Ok keep in mind this decision OBVIOUSLY includes me securing a really good job before even considering moving back. Though take in to account the somewhat grey area between me and a certain sailor...but also all my friends (KIM!) and INCAHOOTS! haha You know I would move back just for the Hoots. lol

I realize I have a lot of opportunity right now, especially to pay off debt and get a jump start on my career, so I am not making any decisions now and waiting it out(NO RUSH). Though I trust ALL of you and just want your opinion.

I was even thinking starting Grad school, though I'd rather start in San Diego...a place I know I could remain for the years I am in school. :-)

Anyway just curious....

Holy shit you guys

In the UK, there was a pair of twins, separated at birth, who got married before finding out their DNA matched! Blargh! What I'd like to know is how they found out? I mean, do you just turn over one day in bed, look at your husband and go, "Hey, honey? Maybe let's go get our DNA tested, huh?"

FUNNY

This is the link to a blog my coworker sent me- I thought it was so funny I wanted to share it with you all.

The end.

Peace.

Potent Quotables

I don't know how many of you have seen Juno, but Diablo Cody, the former stripper (really!) who wrote the screenplay, has a celebrity playlist on iTunes, and she picked Neil Diamond's "Solitary Man" for one of her songs. The commentary on the list goes a little something like this: "Neil Diamond is not even human. He is a very special genius alien from Planet Chest Hair."

I thought you'd like it, especially you, Glenn Coco!

2008 for Margarita

Well the year for me has been ok. Nothing crazy. I finally became an hourly employee at the lab. Better benefits and a nice pay increase, but I have an 18 month probation period, whatev.

Spent two weeks on the east coast for the holidays. Anna thank you so much for a wonderful start to my trip. Ted and I visited the Charmin bathrooms and they were awesome. Although Ted didn't really care too much for them.

Got to visit a lot of places I missed when I went in March. Here is a list of things that I enjoyed:

The Museum of Natural History
Central Park
-Strawberry Fields
-Alice in Wonderland statue
The Cloisters
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The most confusing and biggest art museum I have been to to date!)
A Broadway play 'The Color Purple'
New Years in Time Square!
The Empire State Building
NBC Studio Tour
Rockefeller Center
Pizza, pizza, pizza!!

Yes Carrie- men are pigs. Except for Scott, he's cool. :)

Well, as you all know by now 2008 has not been good to me. On top of the apartment drama I ripped my last contact yesterday. Oh yeah- groan. But, I'm optimistic!

On my blog I have posted my New Year's resolutions and my list of "25 things to do before I turn 25". Check it out! If you would like to participate in any of the activities that I have on my list (i.e. wine tasting) let me know and we will make that happen!

Miss you all terribly!

Bounce.

Loosing my lunch

I'm not so slowly loosing faith in the male species. Found out something disturbing and utterly revolting today (involving an Ex, and frankly someone I considered a friend). Admist my delightful Manicotti at Olive Garden today at lunch, my 19 year old sister blurts out something to this effect:

Calynn: "Jasen is a pervert."

Me: *shocked and somewhat annoyed* "Excuse me?"

Calynn: "I accidentlly sent him a message on myspace. He replied and started saying perverted things like 'I want you' and 'you know the feeling is mutual'. *she also mentioned he asked for "pictures"...oh and that he said 'you look a little like your sister' *GROSS*

Calynn: "He gave me his number and told me to call him."

Yeah. That's right. I'm not even going to being to describe how furious I am, though I suppose you can probably imagine. It took everything in me to keep from calling him.

My Mastercard Commercial

Coming home from the gym to find your apartment flooded: $0

Getting the drain fixed to stop the water from coming: $190

Being a bitch your landlord, learning the high price of not having renters insurance, and knowing that even at 24 your mother is still there to coach you through tough situations: priceless



Needless to say 2008 is not off to a great start. ::sigh::

I knew that having 96 hrs of sick time stored away would come in handy one day.

Ah, 2008...so far, not sucking any less than 2007

Just kidding! Happy new year everybody! I'm back in New York after a rather inconvenient but evidently survivable travel experience yesterday, and let me tell you, when you next see me you may be surprised at my altered appearance, because after all the moving and lugging of heavy objects over the vacation, I'm going to have some GUNS! Gym nothin'. I also have a new red Motorola Razr, a birthday gift from my aunt (an exec at Motorola for those not in the know), which I don't think she was originally planning on giving me, but after I took out my old phone in front of her and asked my brother to fix the battery cover (which has been falling off for months now), she was all, "I'm so disgusted you have an LG phone. I just can't take it anymore. Wait a minute." And brought the red Razr down from upstairs, imploring me to switch ASAP. So...she's a weirdo, but also, awesome. Not as cool as Kim's tacky pirate lamp, but a welcome gift this holiday season.

I also (you'll love this) totally ATE IT at the Public Storage place where all my stuff has been stored for the past eight months or whatever. We had gotten this nonprofit, H.O.M.E., who collect and give furniture to the low-income elderly, to come get my couch and chair. I was walking over to the truck to tell them where to park and I slid on a patch of ice, SLID UNDER THE TRUCK! (thankfully they saw me and weren't moving), completely bruising the crap out of my left hip/thigh area. Also, when I got home from hanging out with my friend Nickie that night and tried taking off my shirt, I found that I'd strained the rotator cuff in my left shoulder! Awesome. But the shoulder is pretty much healed now, and the hip is getting there (still couldn't sleep on my left side last night, though), and my finger (remember my night of shame?) is totally better and all the cuts on my hand are healed! I'm almost whole again. My only regret about falling at Public Storage was that my brother and mother were around the side of a building at the time and neither of them got to enjoy it. It was hilarious, even I know that.

So...how was everybody else's holiday?

Happy New Year everyone!!!!
