Won't be around forever, girl

OH my goodness. How can I possibly be 24? When I was in high school, do you know what I was thinking about myself at 24? Maybe not married, not yet, but maybe in a serious relationship. Definitely done with college and powering full steam ahead in my set career, moved out of Florida and etc etc. Lol I guess one out of four ain't bad. And I'm not disappointed with how my life post-high school has gone, not at all; I guess what I mean is, back then, 24 seemed so much more distant and grown up than what I actually am. HOW CAN I POSSIBLY BE CONSIDERED AN ADULT. I still live with my parents! I have no idea what a health insurance deductible is! MY BED IS NEVER MADE.

Ah, well. Panic about getting older aside, it's been a pretty good weekend! Trying to go out with friends last night was a bit of a clusterfuck, but we made good of the bad; we were late for a neat little planetarium show I wanted to see and therefore couldn't go inside, BUT a nice gentleman took us on the roof anyway and showed us through 3 massive telescopes the moon, Saturn, Sirius, and the nebula on Orion's belt, all of which was SUPER AWESOMESAUCE in case you were wondering. Then we headed over to a restaurant that I was really excited for, a Thai-Mex fusion, but they stopped serving 10 minutes before we got there, SIIIGH. Fortunately we knew another good restaurant in the area, so it worked out! Then there was drinking. LOTS OF DRINKING. So at least it ended well. :D

Today my parents and I went to Orlando to the Great American Pie Festival, where $10 gets you into the all you can eat pie buffet. Piiieee. If you can think it up, I probably had it. Omg. So good. Unfortunately it was all outside and almost unbearably hot (I know, it's April, I KNOW, MY RAGE, IT SIMMERS) so we didn't stay too long. Later we went to dinner at a Spanish tapas restaurant which was holy crap amaaaazing. Quail is awesome, btw. When we came home we had a Skype session with my sister, which was really nice because I miss her! I opened the present she sent me while we Skyping, which was pretty cool. A framed picture of us, vanilla rooibos tea from the Republic of Tea, and an assortment of ethnic food goodies from a store they have up in Chicago called World Market. DO YOU ENJOY HOW MY BIRTHDAY HAS CENTERED AROUND FOOD. I sure do. And thennn my parents gave me Tron on blu-ray (AHHHasjkdfla;jdka I am so excited to watch it you have no idea), $40 gift card to the ~mall, a full year's subscription to Flickr, and a pair of shoes of my choosing. I will keep you up to date and informed about said shoes.

Tomorrow I get to have the peppermint chocolate cake that my dad is making me. It has peppermint schnapps in it. And ganache. Omg. Sugar coma. This weekend. I cannot.

( OH YEAH THEN I GOT THESE STUPID FACES )

Also HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS to my fellow birthday buddies who are continuously awesome, kashmir1 and poppyjar. I hope it was super! ♥

And last, but certainly not least, thank you SO MUCH for all the messages, comments, and other birthday wishes! Your awesomeness is my happy place. ♥!!!

HERE IS THE DEFINITION OF A REALLY GOOD DAY:

arabella_hope coming to visit me! Her sister's boyfriend having free passes for us to park hop from Islands of Adventure to Universal Studios, WHICH WE DID. Holy crap, guys, I love rollercoasters. I screamed myself hoarse, hahaaaa, my throat is killing me. BUT I MADE ANG LAUGH, so that's gotta count for something, right? And then we stuffed ourselves with cotton candy and were judgey and saw the part of Islands of Adventure where they're gonna be opening up the Harry Potter section of the park (EEEEE!!!) and basically had such an awesome time omg.

AND THEN I COME BACK TO SEE THIS????



SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP ( BECAUSE MY VOICE IS WRECKED, HIGH PITCHED NOISES WERE EVEN MORE HIGH PITCHED )

I am so ruined for all other boys. So freaking ruined.

( Today we went to Cocoa Beach. )

SERIOUS AMOUNTS OF UNF, MR. PADALECKI. HOLY CRAAAAP if I randomly saw THAT walking around the airport, he wouldn't stand a chance. UNGGHH.

I've had these past two days off and tomorrow I have a closing shift! I've forgotten how much I enjoy sleeping in. WEEP.

(22 DAYS UNTIL S4 ON DVD. 31 DAYS UNTIL S5 ON MY TEE VEE. !!!!!!!)

( LET'S DISCUSS. )

My little sister is all graduated! I can't believe it! She had a speech to give and did awesome! And yesterday and today was PANIC CITY as we got ready for her open house. My parents have been COMPLETELY rearranging everything with today as their deadline, painted nearly every wall and put up new wainscoat in the dining room, got bunches of new furniture and knickknacks and everything. But everything is just BEAUTIFUL now after the remodel. And today we probably had about 50 people over for the party, so it was nice.

I really really don't want to go back to my apartment tomorrow night, sigh. God I hate my job. I need a new one. Please please let me find a new one.

SO, my parents are watching True Lies, pretty much I need to go join them now. <3

HEY BLOCKBUSTER. HEY. If you say you're gonna carry a movie starting today, THEN YOU SHOULD PROBABLY CARRY IT. I went. I did not find Ten Inch Hero. I AM SAD. :( I'll try again in a few days or go to another store, I guess.

Ohhhh my goodness, WHY did it take me so long to find Andrew Bird? OH MY GOODNESS. His voice kind of reminds me of the lead singer of The Shins, but I love SO MUCH all the variety he packs into his music. And, okay, well, I didn't FIND him, a coworker burned his latest CD for me, as well as Dr. Dog (ALSO AMAZING, OH WOW), and The Bees (haven't had too much of a chance to listen to them yet, but I like them lots so far!). I haven't found any new music in a long while, SO THIS IS ALL VERY EXCITING.



HELLO THERE SIR. I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT YOU'RE INVITING ME TO MOLEST YOU IN NUMEROUS FASHIONS. I suppose I can accept, but only if you invite one of your good friends along. And I do not mean Chad.

Batman went like this:

Eight theaters showing the midnight showing sold out before we could get tickets, but they opened up a theater for a 3:15am showing. Which we bought. Haha UH, it was interesting trying not to fall asleep because I had opened that day and 24 hours previous woke up at 3:45, SO. The WEIRDEST thing about it was walking out of the theater to see the sunrise ahahah. But yeah, BATMAN, OH GOD. Guys, I don't think I've ever seen a more tense movie ever. I swear it gave me ulcers. Maybe it was because I was so exhausted but it got to the point where everything just culminated and culminated and it was THAT PART, at the end, with the uh, decision that certain groups of people had to make, and I just curled up in my chair and was either going to start sobbing or run out of the theater because it was seriously too much, ha. But God, so good, SO GOOD. Heath Ledger, I'm sorry I laughed when I first found out you were playing the Joker, because you blew me out of the fucking water. Your talent will be missed. ♥

But ugh, God, the previews too. I'm pretty sure there was an orgasm or three during the Watchmen trailer. I'm so glad people are so hardcore about not just making movies, but making movies AWESOME, you know? I might really have to invest in the graphic novel. Oh JDM, JDM! You kill me with awesome. ALSO, that amazing amazing song in the trailer is "Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning" by Smashing Pumpkins (a remix of "The End Is The Beginning Is The End") and I'd totally upload it for y'all but I had to buy it off iTunes because I love it SO MUCH and iTunes is a stupidface that won't let anyone share music you've downloaded, so. ETA: JK, JK: Smashing Pumpkins - Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning.

Oh man, happy 26th birthday to THIS GUY:



ADORABLECKI. ♥ Wasn't it last year we heard about his being so drunk after his birthday that he crashed on Jensen's couch? LET'S SEE WHAT HE CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS YEAR, HAHA. ♥♥!!

OH MAN, the gym-going has significantly reduced muffin-topping on my new pants. THIS IS SRS HAPPYMAKING.

I CANNOT PHYSICALLY OPEN THIS WINDOW.

(Yep, still funny.)

Oh my goodness. Today was my Dad's last day of work, as he retired! He's been working with the City of Clearwater as an electrician for thirty years. Started almost out of high school with no college education and worked his way up to the top position in his department. He can fix anything, I'm not even joking. He was pretty emotional about it... I mean, he was seriously ready to leave the place, but after thirty years? He's built up so many relationships and camaraderies over the years, and everyone threw him this huge party and gave him two giftcards for $200 each to Home Depot (handyman!) and AAA. We kind of just... hugged each other and cried. Which made me even more upset, because I can't stand to see him crying, however rarely it happens. BUT THEN THERE WAS CAKE. And that made it all better. CONGRATS TO MY DADDEH. ♥

eeeEEEE I finally bought my plane ticket to winchestercon! $267! Not too shabby. OMG GUYS. I LOVE TRAVELING. LET'S GO TRAVELING ALL THE TIME OKAY.

JARED!!! FNA;LKJAOFJAS;DLKGA;OJDSF oh my GOD, FINE, I'LL GO SEE YOUR DAMN MOVIE OKAY. You don't want to hear the noises I'm making.

I want this BAG. OH MAN.

Beach tomorrow! :D :D

Last night's shift was SO fantastic, making up for the horribleness of Friday! BECAUSE, SEE, okay, there is guy! A coworker, who is SUPER AWESOME, and CLEAN, and no one understands how frustrated us girls get when the bar is a complete and utter mess, but he cleans it better than most girls! So I was stocking his bar, doing a few things extra for him and whatnot, no big, but he gave me a MUG award pin, and YOU GUYS. He is such an utter SWEETHEART it really makes me grin like an idiot. He was there tonight for a while as well, and this couple came in and ordered, and the guy went off to the bathroom and the girl asked, "Hey, aren't you going to pay?" and he was just like, "UH, no, I'm in the bathroom." And after they left, he was like, "Wow, that guy was a dick! I would always make sure to pick up the tab, you know?" And I was like, "...HEE, YEAH." I don't think I'm neccessarily attracted to him, just so utterly fascinated by such adorableness.

SHUT UP.

Tomorrow was my day off, but I had to pick up a shift for somebody, sigh. 7:30 to 2:30. Not looking forward to it. :((

YOU GUYS. THIS. MAKES. MY. NIGHT. A;LSJDFASL;JD JARED!! Omg they are such DORKS. They need to GET MARRIED have a BABIES and then they would all go over and play with UNCLE JENSEN and you guys the STUPID NOISES I AM MAKING. If only I could be half as lucky to find a guy like that. HNG!

Early bedtimes suck. :(((!

( OMFG GUYYSSSS. )

Hn. I won't be able to watch Lost until Saturday, or thereabouts, but... I'm kind of okay with it? I dunno! I'm not... really... feelin' the love any more. I mean, I'm interested, but my excitement has just kind of... dwindled. I just. Um. I think you'll have to take it up with the Winchesters. They've kind of taken over management. :>

So, there is such a thing as MILF, but what about FILF? Because there is this guy who always comes into work and I don't even know his name, just his drink (venti three pump no whip mocha frappuchino!), and he is so very very good looking, and he has this three-year-old daughter who is seriously the cutest thing I've ever seen, and seriously, FILF?? So hot! And a surfer! And divorced! And probably ten years older than me! OMG WHY. (Also FILF sounds like "filth"? SO GREAT.)

Pretty much I love staying up way past my bedtime and doing absolutely NOTHING. Ahahah yay.

Even though the concept of Christmas is kind of a joke down in Florida (cold? snow? what? huh?), Christmas it will soon be, so, cards!

[Poll #876786]

And vice versa. If I've missed someone and you want my address, let me know!


So, The Shins new album? AWESOME. Al;kjal;sdjkf. So many good albums have been released this year.

Would someone mind explaining these two pictures? Preferrably IN MINUTE DETAIL? AHAHAHAHAH WHAT.

My back is killing me. Being on dish last night (while working with The Ultimate Asshole and The Worst Shift Manager Ever, did I mention?) didn't help much.

Also, three-ish months ago I tried stopping my birth control to see if my period would finally start coming on it's own, but no dice. This is freaking ridiculous.
