blank notebook and a backpocket fade...

okay, so i know that i've been bad about updating, but i'm still trying to be better!

here's a present... watch it, it's pretty cute and hilarious!

the gummy bear song!


and, can we discuss, i LOVE gummy bears!

*edit*
beware, there is a little gummy bear booty shakin and butt crack action...

i just finished washing my car. it's all pretty and shiny and turquoise! i, however, am sweaty and sticky and icky...yuck!

omg!
i just had one of those "what's that butt-awful smell? holy shit! It's ME!!" moments....

i think it's time for a shower.

yeah, that's how long it's been since i updated my lj. that's a really long time. and surprise! surprise! *shockhorror* a lot of stuff has happened. let's review

- i moved into a house in red hook, ny. it's the first house i've ever lived in.

- i worked at waldenbooks in the hudson valley mall for exactly one week before i was promoted from part-time bookseller to full-time key holder and senior bookseller. trust me, in the book-retail world, that's...like *blinkblink* a big deal...and stuff. anyway, i loved working at the bookstore! my boss was awesome, my co-workers were awesome, the books were cheap and life was awesome! (well, actually, life sucked, but i still loved my job) we found out our store was closing exactly one week before christmas, and told that we weren't allowed to tell our customers until after the holiday rush, we didn't want to upset our customers or our sales. it was our little store against the big bad book company, and we lost. we spent our last days cleaning the store and rocking out to the obnoxiously loud eclectic mix of music that we endlessly unleashed on the food court and the rest of the mall. i stayed until the last day, and we all cried together.

- i worked for a chiropractor. reality was, waldenbooks wasn't paying the bills and the bills needed to get paid. it was pure luck that i happened upon an opportunity to work part-time in a small chiropractic office, a sure thing. i started training on my first day. i worked doing ultrasound massage therapy and other office work as *ahem ahem* a chiropractic technician! it was exciting! riveting! fresh and new! actually, it was terribly boring, but i got free chiro. then i got promoted and i became the secretary/assistant office manager-type person...and that's when things got bad...work was literally making me ill...it had taken over my life. my office manager handed in her notice 5 weeks before i left, her last day was 3 weeks before mine. chaos ensued. when i left, i cried.

- i learned that while it is possible to work two full-time jobs, 7 days a week with no time off...you really, really really don't want to. no, trust me.

- i made some amazing friends.

- i made the final decision to move to san francisco, ca in the fall to attend graduate school.

- i managed to sprain both my ankles in the course of a week. interestingly enough, i was not doing anything stupid, foolish or dangerous when i was injured.

...and...

- i got engaged

sooo....

that's the past 38 weeks in a nutshell. nice to be back.

umm, i know that i need to update, but i just found this...umm....ummm.....uhhhhhhh

it's a song called "keep your jesus off my penis" and it's fucking fantastic

not safe for work...and lots of penis and jesus talk...

i must say, this totally made my day

please listen

it will make you think...seriously

okay, so, i'm in the market for a car. a car that is a volvo.

this one is a 1997 volvo 850 GTL (i think). 64k miles. for sale by original owner, no accidents.

thought, opinions, comments, pointers....i need input!

( maybe my new car )

c'mon y'all, i wanna know what you think...

( my birthday )

you can try it too...

Your True Love Is a Pisces

Why you'll love a Pisces: Selfless and intuitive, you are perfect for a Pisces that lives to love you. You're sensitive enough to appreciate and explore the deep emotions of a Pisces. Why a Pisces will love you: You're generous and totally giving in relationships, something Pisces demands. You are also dreamy enough to get lost in fantasy with Pisces, but realistic enough to stay grounded.

huh...
