livejournals

I have a livejournal account.  I actively wrote in it from 2001 to 2008.  I have 7 years of my life in there.  It’s fun to go back and read old entries.  Since my birthday is coming up i figured it might be cool to copy and paste my ‘birthday’ entry from each year.  ready?

2001:

happy birthday to me. well..TECHNICALLY you might say it was yesterday. but, i’ll say it’s today..since i haven’t gone to bed yet. my mom and dad got me a vcr. it’s cool. we went out to dinner to mr. b’s. yep, just me, mom, dad, austynn, christine, chris, and matt. it was good times… tomorrow me matt chris my mom and kathleen get to go to bingo. woowoo! i’m gonna win lotsa money!

went to cedar point yesterday. to sum it up:
power tower (up)
power tower (down)
magnum
rip chord
gemini
thunder canyon
thunder canyon
mantis
millenium force (i took a nap on the bench)
millenium force (took another one)
raptor
disastor transport
the rocking boat.

so, no i didn’t go on it. do i regret it? no.
the worst part about cedar point? the hot weather. babies.
the best part? the laughing. the rip chord. thunder canyon too.

sean forbes is one talented lyricist. he just comes up with these lyrics out of nowhere. checkit out:
my friend
he’s depressed
he’s got his penis all dressed
and he’s ready to confess
that he pulls it til it’ll strech
then he takes his hand and caressed
which made me very IMPRESSED!
woo
and as I left
I made him a bet
that his dick would be a wreck
he said hell no way
Sean I do this everyday
I tie my dick to a brick
and let it fly away
now it’s 11 inches long
I call him Mister Wong
his fat like king kong
OH LET ME SING HIS SONG
mister wong mister wong
your’e one sexy dong
mister wong mister wong
I wanna caress you all night long
mister wong mister wong
oh no what went wrong?
now you’re all gone.

i wish i could write lyrics.

ok, i should go to bed. g’night!

oh yeah, and my theory about smoking and my killer hangovers is true. cuz…i am definitley not as hungover as i have been in the past. goodbye cigarettes!

2005:

‘omg’ can pretty much sum up last night.
omg omg omg omg omg.
holy i need to stop being a lush.

2006:

birthday was good. got $100 to best buy from the mathenys! hollerrr! and preston made me a cake.
ate some mongolian bbq….and now i just can’t wait to see zh:

2007:

last night was fucking insane
happy birthday devynn. it was the best ever!

and i didn’t update the whole month of july in 2008. so nothing there.

that wasn’t as entertaining as i hoped it’d be.  it kinda just proved that i’ve always loved the booze! awkward!

by the sea

I think it’s safe to say that I have watched “Sweeney Todd” over 10 times.  I love musicals.  But what REALLY gets me with this one….is one particular song/scene.  The “By The Sea” song.  I love the costumes and the colors and their manarisms! and the song! check it:

dwell

i am a dweller.

I think it’s probably safe to say that I am pretty much alway dwelling.

i’ll keep this update short because my keyboard is a piece of shit buuuut the point of it is that i need to stop dwelling. I find myself thinking back on things that has happened not so far back in the past (GOOD things, things that made me happy at the time) and remembering little (pretty much pointless) details that weren’t perfect.  and then I dwell on those stupid little details!  am I some kind of masochistic perfectionist?

This whole realization goes along with my whole new ‘live in the present and be positive’ attitude.

baby steps!

progressing

I just re-read my blogs all the way back to november.  After I stopped reading I began to wonder why I never have anything to write about anymore.  And I think i’ve figured it out.  I have nothing POSITIVE to write about. my old entries were always upbeat about the fun and genuinely good things happening.   and now when I sit down and try to think of something to write about my head just fills with all the negative stuff.  I dont feel any less happy now then when I was in amsterdam.  But why don’t I ever have any good stories to share?

These last few weeks I have been on this ’self improvement’ kick.  I am mainly just trying to boost my self confidence.  Also trying to be more social and stop dwelling on the things that bother me.  maybe as all this self-improvement unfolds I will find more happy and lighthearted things to blog about?  i hope.

until then, dont sweat the small stuff (and it’s ALL small stuff).

how we do

I wanted to post this vid! it’s so cute.  Cute song too! “microphone” by coconut records

I want to marry jason schwartzman (but I will settle for a jason schwartzman clone)

failest blogger of all time

ohhhh yeah…. I have a blog!

I’m a ‘blogger’ with nothing to blog about. Soooo bear with me.

I am still without a car.  Car shopping is difficult (especially when you are searching for a reliable car for under two grand). That’s all I have to say about that. I have been seeing car commercials for the Nissan Cube today.  Its the ugliest friggen thing i’ve ever seen and i WANT one! (yeah yeah BUY AmERICAN! i hear ya) but lolz look at it:

work is going good.  Little babies are pretty boring (especially if they are content babies) buuuut I keep telling myself it’ll be more fun in a few months when she is more personable. Ladies and gentlemen I introduce you to the tashanator (girl has some big feet):

this blog was so difficult! it was like pulling teeth!

i have bloggers block

30 day shred

long time no post!

I started ’shredding’ today! Sophia told me about this workout dvd (Jillian michaels 30 day shred). She said it was a good workout so i decided to give it a shot. It has 3 different levels. You do level 1 for 10 days and then level 2 and 3 for 10 days and you aparently can ‘lose up to 20 pounds’ (but that’s probably if you’re on some kind of crazy diet as well). I did my first day of level 1 today and YOWZA it was quite a workout! but it wasn’t boring and it wasn’t complicated. I was definitley sweating and huffing and puffing at the end of it so that means it did something right?! I’m anxious to see what kind of results I get after the 30 days! Here is a youtube so you can get an idea of what it’s like:

Not much of anything else to report!  The new job is going well,  Tasha is really cute and such an easy baby!  Basically it’s just easy money right now since she sleeps so much!

I am aiming to get a car by next weekend (goals ya’ll! goals!) we shall see.
