Life Under Construction

Posts Tagged ‘randomness’

I was going to post a blog this morning that I spent a lot of time thinking about and working on, but I wanted to put a picture in it of me when I was all wee and cute and my brother never got around to scanning it and emailing it to me, so I’m posting it next week.  Because it just won’t be complete without the picture.  So for tonight I’ll just give you some random things I’ve been thinking about.

• I eat too much candy.  I do, I eat Sour Patch Kids and Raisinets and Nerds and M&M’s and Almond Joys (oh, Almond Joy is my favorite) and Kit Kat bars and… you get the picture.  But I’m not going to stop eating it.  Not right yet anyway.  I need it.  It makes me feel good.
• I also sit around a lot.  I spend the majority of my day sitting, and when I’m not sitting I’m laying down.  I’m so lazy.  I won’t stop doing that either, unless someone forces me to.
• I’m tired of my blog theme.  Nothing I can design ever works for me for more than a month at a time and it really bothers me.  Why can’t I just design something and stick with it and like it?  Huh?  Why do I have to be so ridiculous?
• I was watching Desperate Housewives (don’t judge me) tonight and I recognized Leslie Ann Warren by just her voice.  She played Cinderella in my favorite version of Roger’s & Hammerstein’s classic and I loved her in it so much.  So tonight when I was watching Desperate Housewives (I said don’t judge!!) and I realized who she was I got uber excited and had to check on imdb to see if I was right and I TOTALLY was.  I’m so giddy about it.

That’s it.  I’m pathetic today.  I hope everyone’s week is going good.

I’m feeling wicked detached from the internet – from all things really – and I don’t like it very much.  I feel uninterested in everything and it makes me sad.

Ick.

I have nothing to report, really.  Um, I’m spending the day with my nephew and sporadically reading a blog here and there or watching a YouTube video.

I feel blah.

I feel boring.

I feel uninterested in everything.

I guess I kind of want to go back to bed and hope that I’ll wake up feeling better, more interested.  More excited about ANYTHING.

I’m not getting enough rest at night while I’m sleeping, I think.

Lame sauce.

Someone cheer me up, please?

Sarah and I watched The Hangover this weekend, and let me tell you…

It.
Was.
AWESOME.

Neither of us had seen it, so I bought it while we were at Target on Sunday and we watched it and it was hilarious.

I’m trying to be energetic, but I really wanted to go back to sleep after getting John on the bus and I just can’t.  If I go back to bed I’ll only be awake until forever tonight.

I’m feeling much less stabby today than I was yesterday, which is good, because I hate feeling stabby.

No, really.  I wanted to stab someone.

But I’m all better today.

Today I am going to do laundry and watch the season premiere of The Bachelor, because I feel like it.

Also NOTHING IS ON.  Get with the program, television.  I need some shows to watch!

I miss having cable.  Not that I really watched much cable TV before I moved in here a year ago, but now that I’m jobless I think that I could watch a lot more cable.

Oh!  I know what’s exciting!  My friend Crystal said that my blogs inspire her!  *swoon*  That makes me feel so special!

And my friend Deb said that she thinks I’m a wonderful writer.  I’m never deleting that email (is that weird?).

Now I feel energized after thinking about the compliments I’ve gotten over the past few days.  Maybe I’ll play Super Mario Bros on the Wii we got Sarah for Christmas, because that takes energy.

Before I go I just want to talk for a minute about this thing I saw at Bed Bath & Beyond when I was setting up my wedding registry that I never used because we got married ahead of schedule and invited no one.  Please note I just took a picture of it and did NOT scan it for my list.  Even though it is hilarious.

Really, Bed Bath & Beyond?  Seriously?

That’s all I have to say about that.

What’s going on in your world today?
Have you seen The Hangover?
What’s in my pocket?

WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE PUTTING ME IN HUFFLEPUFF WHEN I HAVE ZERO PATIENCE AND AM SUPER LAZY??!!!!

This video is - without a doubt – the greatest video I have seen in all of 2009.

I love you, Maxie, but it even trumps Blogger Face.  When you see it, you will be forced to agree.

Woman with lollipop for absolutely no reason?  Check.
Majorly fake religious bling?  Check.
NIV with a ribbon bookmark?  CHECK.
Seriously awesome lyrics?  Double.Effing.Check.
–>   Seriously… ‘wienie’ and ‘Amen’ in the same verse?  CHECK!!!!

And I just bought it on iTunes.  Don’t judge me.

Happy New Years Eve, everybodies!  I’m going to karaoke tonight at the Cove if anyone wants to meet me there!

What did you think of this video?
Isn’t it ten thousand different kinds of awesome?
Are you as excited as I am???

I’m feeling out of sorts today, so here’s a random blog from my old Myspace page that most of you (if not all of you) haven’t read.

********************

ALRIGHT!

My shitty mood over the last few days was solved this morning. SOLVED. I chased it away!

Good riddance, shitty mood! I bet you all want to know how I did such a thing. Even if you don’t, I’m still going to tell you!

One of the few things I take a severe sort of joy in is being organized. Organized out the ears. Not only do I pride myself on my attention to detail, but I also seriously love reorganizing things and making them work better. I always notice when something is out of place, especially if it’s mine. And this applies to everything in life, not just my movies or my closet… it applies to my relationships with the people close to me and the things in their lives as well.

I know. I’m a freak!

Well, as luck would have it this morning I was balancing my checkbook and it came out even. Even, I tell you! I LOVE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!! It almost makes up for not having any cereal in the house for a week.

Almost.

So I’m cheerful, and it’s because there are some things in life that I have complete control over. Complete control means I can fix things. Fixing things that have gone wrong makes me happy.

Now, here is one of my favorite videos for you all to watch, just for the sake of sharing!!!

Jaime: I love Gram’s scones.  She makes the best scones in the world.  When I get to my mom’s tonight I’m gonna be all like ‘bitch, get in the kitchen and make me some scones’.  But I won’t really say it like that.  And she’ll do it.
Mike: I’m sure she will.
Jaime: Yeah but it sucks ’cause you only get like 5 scones out of one batch.  *grumble*
Mike: You know what?  5 scones would be enough for most people, but not you.  Not you.

…

the following is an excerpt from a web cam conversation via MSN that Walter and I had some months ago.

Jaime:
you swallowed
Walter:
Did I?
Jaime:
yup
I saw
Walter:
I have a face, you know.
Jaime:
I know, I stare at it
Walter:
I’m not all neck.
Jaime:
look, I know already
what you are
I look at you
I see you
!!!!!!
Walter:
I’m a just a piece of neck to you. :(
Jaime:
no
I just snorted
SHUT UP

I’ve been having some serious underwear issues recently.

Remember back (like 4 months ago) when I was complaining that my pants hated me and my underwear laughed at me?  Well, if they were laughing then they’re rolling on the floor now.

I went out and bought new underwear and new pants a size up to accommodate my growing derriere.

I know it’s because I sit on my butt all day.  I know it’s because I eat and eat and eat and eat and eat.

(And eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat.)

And I don’t exercise.  Ever.  So I only have myself to blame.  But now I’m angry at myself.

When I was in high school (and even right out of high school) I used to pretend I hated my body.  To fit in, you know?  I don’t know who I was trying to fit in with, though, so don’t ask.  I loved my body!  But now?  Now I actually hate my body.  I would rather be pretending.

If food didn’t taste so damn good, I’d be a lot thinner.  I only eat because food is yummy.  I don’t eat because I’m hungry!  I’m always full!  And I’m always eating!  If there is food around, unless it’s gross, I’m going to eat it no matter what my current starvation status is.

If there was a meter on my body to show you what stages of hunger I’m in, the arrow would be default set to ‘full’.

I know I’m not huge.  I’m not even overweight.  But that doesn’t mean I don’t (or can’t) have body issues of my own.  I can’t stand how I look in form fitting clothes, let alone naked.  I’m constantly concerned about whether or not people can tell I’m sucking it in, or whether or not I’m sucking it in enough.

I won’t change my eating habits, and I don’t exercise, and I’m just ranting.

I’m cranky.

I’ve just realized that I look more disgusted than cranky in this picture but whatever.  I’m disgusted at my crankiness.

I was just sitting here at my desk, like any other day.  Eating a peanut butter and Fluff sandwich, like any other day.  And I looked in my mirror, just like any other day.

Yes, I have a mirror at my desk. And I’m constantly looking at it.  What?  Don’t judge me!

Anyhow, I noticed that Fluff makes my teeth look disgustingly yellow.  A whole lot more unwhite than usual.  It made me sad.

I have decided that from now on I am going to paint my teeth with Fluff.  Do you think it will work?

Upon reflection, it seems that for the first time ever I did make a peanut butter and Fluff sandwich and DID NOT get Fluff on my hands.  However I did get it on the back of my hand while eating it.  I wonder how I did that….?

I loved high school.  I wasn’t one of those kids that couldn’t wait to get out into the real world.  I loved being immersed in the social activity and the learning atmosphere.  And the social activity.

The worst thing about high school: gym class.  I was picked last or not picked at all, I didn’t want to try at any sport they made us play, and I “forgot” my gym clothes or faked sick all the time.  Yeah, I actually failed gym one quarter in the 8th grade…  I was that kid.

The best thing about high school: seeing a friend or that guy you like walk past your classroom door and asking the teacher for the bathroom pass ’cause you feel like trying to hunt them down (or stalk them, whichever the situation required of you).  You know those times, the ones when you never actually went into the bathroom and just walked a lap or two around the school, maybe stopping at your locker.  Twice.

Or better yet?  Coordinated bathroom breaks.  Meet at my locker at 10:38 if you can get convince your teacher that you have to pee so we can whisper and exchange notes or something equally non-classroomish**!

The hallway during class was the cool place to be.  It doesn’t count as part of my Hallway Awkwardness theory, because anyone walking the empty halls at the same time (unless you were bitter enemies) smiled or nodded with that escape from class camaraderie.  You know the one.

Reading the Twilight series totally takes me back to high school, because this is what I was thinking about while I was walking down the hall at work a few minutes ago.

**It should be a gramatical rule that adding ‘ish’ (and other such suffixes such as ‘ness’ and ‘age’) to the end of a word automatically makes it a valid word in spellcheck.
