Chair #1 = Dentist 10:00 AM
I treat this as pass/fail cause either you have cavities or you don't.
Today I passed.
Score.
Remember when I never had cavities ever so this was never a question?
And then I go in and have like 4?
Yes, that sucked.
Thankfully this morning was the opposite. Though apparently I need to floss more.
Woops.
Chair #2 = Hair Dresser 1:00 PM
Hair is now red and blonde.
And chopped short.
Ish.
Rebellious nature intact until graduation.
Dark enough that my boyfriend didn't say anything, but red enough that my Mom did.
But of course she's used to it by now.
Her theory is that she's thankful because it's temporary not like tattoos or piercings.
Not that that will ever be a problem cause as anyone who knows me at all can tell you, I hate needles.
After the hair thing stopped by the farm and watched some NCIS: LA. Forgot how much I like that show, should get caught up.
Then supper with the boyfriend and his parents.
They went shopping and we watched Falling Down.
Yes, that's the actual title. Circa 1993.
Scale of Awesome is 4/10, I fell asleep. Has anyone else heard of this movie? Was it big way back when?
And when I say "way back when" I mean 20 years ago.
God he looks young.
Anyway, we followed that up with Dodgeball.
Scale of Awesome 9/10, I love this one, but I've also seen it like a thousand times.
It amuses me that they're married and playing enemies, in the bloopers he messes up all the time when she's around, it's hysterical.
Music:
Pour Me - Trick Pony
used to be my favorite song, haven't heard it in forever so i'm bringing it back.
out.

You could buy a house and run away from it.
You know you're having a weird day when your dentists emails you with an eBook question.
In the middle of a Monday.
I didn't even know how to handle that, like, wait what?
Directed them to the troubleshoot email on the website.
Then stared at my phone for another 5 minutes in confusion.
Today flew by fairly quickly. Training at the Commission in the morning, crazy crowd in the lab at noon and then a slowed down afternoon doing supplies and working Youth Services.
After work went out to see the boyfriend. Finally saw We're The Millers.
Was so excited for this one even before previews came out.
Scale of Awesome says 7/10, it was pretty amusing but not something I'd watch over and over. I will rent it when it comes out at the library though.
Sat outside for a while before heading back, which reminds me I'm missing the meteor shower but I'm too tired to go look.
Smo's here sleeping as I should be as well.
Quote of the night:
Men are like oranges, you never know what you're gonna peel.
He may be sweet, he may be sour.
Sounds vaguely dirty but really isn't.
And I'm out.
"If there's ever a Church of Sheldon this will be when it started."

closer to heaven above and closer to you...
Gotta love librarians.
When you get a room full of them it's quite the party.
See, the stereotype is that we're all super quite and like to shush people when the truth is we're the loudest ones of the bunch.
I don't think I've ever seen a librarian shush someone.
Maybe once as a joke.
Anyway, tonight was the grad party for the lucky ones of us who are done this spring and summer.
The rest of us have to tough it out until fall. For me first completing 9 more credits along with my 90 hour practicum at the Regional Center and then comps which is the week from hell.
Basically you write 4 dissertations and you have a week to complete it.
And there's no grades just pass/fail.
So I'll be taking the week off of work for that.
Along with all the time for the practicum because the Regional Center is only open during the week 8-5.
And I work 9-6 soooo I'll basically have to take like 4 weeks of vacation - at least. But I can't do it all at once cause I don't want to lose my job.
And I don't know if I even have that much vacation.
I guess we shall see.
Maybe I can work weekends and take weekdays off for a while.
I don't know, I'll talk to Superwoman about it and come up with a plan with Tom.
He'll be my Mr. Boss Man Sir for those 90 hours.
Where was I?
Right, the party, so I got to play bartender.
Obviously she knows my family.
The boyfriend would find that hysterical because he's convinced that I don't drink.
Although my brother thinks I don't either.
The truth is, I do, just not a lot.
Like I'll have one. Like every 3 months or so.
And that's usually only because I'm out with my sisters or him or it's some sort of family party.
I just don't see the point if it's not a social situation, you know?
Hence the build-up of liquor in my fridge.
But the party was great. She had a nacho bar along with animal crackers for the kiddos. Everyone brought their significant other (except David who brought his kid), minus me cause the boyfriend was busy fixing stuff. It actually flew by pretty quickly.
Kinda like the program.
I still feel like I just started and it's already gonna be over. Same with the GA duties, can't believe it's already been 2 semesters since I took over.
But I guess it has been a while. I did start in Spring of 2011.
And now I'll end in fall of 2013.
So it's kind of backwards but that's okay.
We talked hoods today.
Annette brought hers, gonna have to figure out how to order that and robes and all that.
And figure out exactly where I'm going. But I'm guessing the Library Goddess knows all about it. She's been doing it for years.
And she is going over there in the fall.
As is my boss and the Cool Aunt.
Superwoman claims the three of them can carpool and talk about me.
Not allowed.
Anyway, the party was fun. The usual gang of course. I really like these guys. I'll be sad when it's over but I'm sure I'll see them all over. One of them works down the street and stops by the library every once in a while.
Apparently she stopped by a couple of weeks ago and asked if I was there and I wasn't.
Which is rare.
So she turned around and walked out.
"I probably should have checked out a book or something..."
Geez library student.
It's okay.
Speaking of books, so I'm still stalling on finishing Silver Linings Playbook.
I literally have 20 pages left and my coworkers laugh cause I've had 20 pages left for like 2 weeks.
BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO END!
I love it.
AND! I got the DVD today so I'm gonna watch it tonight.
Probably fall asleep in the process because it is after midnight - I really need to stop doing this - but that's okay cause I already know how it ends.
But it's been so long since we saw it in theaters that I want to compare and contrast with what's in the book and decide which one I like best.
Cause BossLady asked and I couldn't answer completely.
Even though the characters are different I still see them as the actors that played them.
Which is backwards cause if you read the book first then you get images in your mind and then the movie comes out and you're pissed cause they don't match up.
Like everyone was mad when Tom Cruise got cast at Jack Reacher cause he was nothing like what's in the book, however, Tom Cruise bought the rights to the character so he got to play him.
Apparently he does that with a lot of characters.
But I'm confused, does that effect the writer of the novels?
I don't know quite how that works.
I'll look it up tomorrow.
Alright, I need to konk out but yes today was good.
Slept in 'til 1, went to the dentist at 2, NO CAVATIES! It was a chick dentist this time. She told me my teeth looked "super" and that I was good to go.
I cheered.
You know me and my experiences at the dentist.
Go here
After that I came home, watched some SVU - gotta love TV marathons - then headed over to the party.
After which I came home, watched some DDD - which would be even better if I was a chef and could recreate the recipes - and now I'm out.
Music: Going back to a classic.
Cowboy Take Me Away - Dixie Chicks
thinking about doing a week of my favorites. in which case i'd have to repost goodbye earl. along with many others.
hmmm....
Carter is sleeping but he's all twitchy.
Wonder what he's dreaming about....

cause somewhere in the crowd there's you...
I was totally productive today.
Even on my day off.
You'd be proud.
Picked up the boyfriend's car from the train station - Oldest Sister drove me and gave me a cookie for breakfast.
Set up a dentist's appointment for May - you know how much I hate those with my history.
But so far, not famous at this office.
At least not to my knowledge.
So that's something.
Go here: Famous @ the Dentist Office
Got Arby's for lunch.
Took a nap.
Okay, so I wasn't totally productive.
Watched like 3 discs of SVU season 13?
I think?
I don't know I've gotten them all through ILL but I've had this one requested since October. So it's whatever the latest season on DVD is.
Ya, 13.
I figured I'd hate it cause it doesn't have Stabler, but the new ones aren't so bad.
I would, however, protest if Benson quit.
Munch isn't in it as much. Did you know Richard Belzer's played that character in like 4 TV series?
Wow, more than four if you count cameo's.... John Munch on IMDB
Anyway, after my nap and SVU break I did a ton of homework.
Mostly for Diversity in Libraries.
Frustrating as it was.
We're in groups of 4 and we each had to come up with 5 African-American books, which we did last week, but today we had to look them up in these specific library catalogs to see if they own them - I had NY and Springfield - however in my libraries, unlike the others, they catalog the editions separately (which technically you're supposed to do because people look for certain editions of things) so I had to look in like 3 places and add everything together while everyone else had like 1 place and that's it.
Anyway, she didn't say if we were supposed to add up each edition or just do the 1 edition our group member picked or if we were supposed to add in the different formats and all that, just blah.
Whatever, it's done. And I'm content with it.
I think.
I'm content that it's done.
Let's go with that.
Now it's back to SVU.
I would do more homework but I'll actually have time to do that during the week since the boyfriend is in Seattle.
Next homework assignment is due on the 20th for Internet Reference, and then like the 9th or 10th of May for the final assignment. In Diversity next week we're discussion boarding - can I use that as a verb? - about this collection assignment and then we present our posters. I did mine on Diversity in Young Adult Programming.
But I have no idea how to present that on Blackboard Collaborate so I'll have to figure that out at some point. But that's the final for Diversity.
And then I'll be done until June when I take Foundations - 1 credit class I can finish in a day - and Library Systems which only lasts through June.
So I'll be free for camp, huzzah!
Speaking of camp, huzzah! We have our first meeting of 2013 tomorrow so I'll be headed out to G-Town after work.
Tomorrow's gonna be interesting because I have volunteers coming in from 9-1, then I'm off and headed to the meeting which is at 2:30, then I'm stopping by the farm because they're burning ground - which I'm sad I can't make it to cause I'm working instead.
Think I mentioned this, my siblings and I own land and are burning it to the ground to start over. We did that when we first got it too. The boys enjoyed smacking the fire with big flopper sticks and riding around it on four wheelers.
And I think there was beer and snacks involved at some point.
Can you say "redneck"?
Anyway, I'm bummed, but I can't exactly miss work cause they're my volunteers.
Well, they're UNL volunteers, but I'm in charge of them for the morning. They're going to be cleaning the computer lab - cause that gets done never - wiping down tables and chairs on 4th floor - cause that gets done never - dusting the reference shelves - cause that gets done never - and then whatever else my coworkers suggest that also never gets done.
Theme sensed?
Yeah.
So that'll be an interesting morning, and then I'm pumped for the camp meeting. It'll be the core group most likely aka myself, Obi-Wan, the Music Mentor (i'm hoping anyway), Pastor Blackstone, and Scuba Steve O, and maybe Josh.
One of these things is not like the other, I know.
But Josh actually is a nickname.
I think Obi-Wan and I are the only ones who call him Josh, everyone else calls him Pastor.
But he's not our Pastor so it's allowed.
I just remember showing up at teen camp after Obi and I went grocery shopping and he was there and I was like, "hey josh!" and he was like "FINALLY someone who doesn't call me Pastor!"
I'm stoked for camp already. Application sheets were made and will be approved at the meeting along with the budget, theme, menu and all that. If our Head Chef can make it that is.
Anyway, I should stop talking about camp now because you know if you get me started it's never ending so I'm going to put the computer down and back away slowly...
after these anyway:
i'm thinking soundtracks...
Super Trouper - Donna & the Dynamos
love 2:34-2:35's "look, look, look"
didn't realize how many abba songs i actually knew until i watched this movie and went, "but they didn't sing that or that..."
i blame my father.
We Built This City/We're Not Gonna Take It - Rock of Ages
i know you're supposed to root for the rockers but i like Catherine Zeta-Jones so much more than Russell Brand.
it was hysterical at like 0:51 the boyfriend's like "oh my god, that's Sebastian Bach!" to which i replied "oh my god, how do you know Sebastian Bach?!" so now i love him even more.
and that's i got for today.
i know, another pre-midnight post. holy crap tag in use.
Even on my day off.

"You just killed a helicopter with a car." "I was out of bullets."
On to Live Free or Die Hard.
aka Die Hard 4.0
aka my favorite of the series so far.
Bruce Willis likes it better than 2 or 3 as the sequel.
Watched an exclusive interview between Bruce and Kevin Smith.
He plays Warlock but you probably know him from Clerks.
or Jay and Silent Bob.
He's highly entertaining, but he pointed out that Bruce has done a Die Hard movie in the 80's, 90's the 00's and now the 10's.
The boyfriend is convinced Willis is gonna be in a wheelchair for the next movie.
So yes, finishing up my marathon. Watched 1 last night and started number 2 - fell asleep so finished that one and number 3 this morning. Now I'm on 4 but can't watch 5 cause it's still in theaters, but I've rambled about that one already anyway go here: You asked for a large bag of hair on the way to Taganskaya Courthouse.
Just starting this one, he's currently picking up Matt Farrell - I love Justin Long, another one of my top favorites mentioned yesterday.
And now his apartment's being blown to pieces.
I do like all 5 but this is my favorite. Mostly because of the actors involved - Justin Long, Timothy Olyphant, Mary Elizabeth Winstead (who makes an appearance in number 5) - and I like the whole government fire sale aspect to it.
The boyfriend likes the 2nd one best. My favorite scenes in that movie are the ones with his wife on the plane cause of her back and forth with the reporter who has a restraining order against her (after she punched him in the 1st movie.)
I've only seen it twice, along with number 3.
Which I also like a lot because of the Simon Says stuff along with Samuel L. Jackson as Zeus.
Here are a few of my favorites from this one:
Matt Farrell: [to Lucy] Wow, I know that tone. It's just weird hearing it come from someone... with hair.
Just one of the many reasons I love it.
Today was good.
Aside from the all the Die Hard I mean, went in to work for a couple of hours. Was swamped the first and dead the next. But was good bonding time with Girlscout.
We talked pets.
Showed her the picture of Carter with the snowpeople.
Cause he's like monstrous in comparison.
And he sleeps on my stomach.
It would be adorable if it wasn't killing my back.
He's currently decked out beside me.
But anyway, so yes, slept in, watched Die Hard's 2 and 3, went to work, went grocery shopping.
Came home, unpacked groceries, ate supper, now on to Die Hard 4.
And that was my day.
Tomorrow will be much different I'm sure. Back to the regular 9-6, plus gotta call the dentist to set up an appointment.
I actually started flossing, aren't you proud?
Although by "started" I mean like twice.
This week.
But that's better than nothing.
I'll start doing it until the appointment and then quit again until next time.
And there's a TAB meeting.
Get to plan out logistics for SR events and the kickoff party.
Yeehaw.
Alright, on to the music, then back to the movie.
Just a Fool - Christina Aguilera Feat. Blake Shelton
love this song.
and that it debuted on the voice.
which starts next week, get ready.
stoked.
love her.
will of course miss Xtina and Cee-Lo, but I've always loved Shakira. and Usher is alright I guess, so we'll see how this goes.

Now I'm on 4 but can't watch 5 cause it's still in theaters, but I've rambled about that one already anyway go here: You asked for a large bag of hair on the way to Taganskaya Courthouse.
Just starting this one, he's currently picking up Matt Farrell - I love Justin Long, another one of my top favorites mentioned yesterday.
And now his apartment's being blown to pieces.
I do like all 5 but this is my favorite. Mostly because of the actors involved - Justin Long, Timothy Olyphant, Mary Elizabeth Winstead (who makes an appearance in number 5) - and I like the whole government fire sale aspect to it.
The boyfriend likes the 2nd one best. My favorite scenes in that movie are the ones with his wife on the plane cause of her back and forth with the reporter who has a restraining order against her (after she punched him in the 1st movie.)
Richard Thornburg: [sits down and sees Holly looking at him]
Stewardess!
Stewardess: Mr. Thornburg, you cannot monopolize my time.
Richard Thornburg: You cannot put me near that woman.
Stewardess: Excuse me?
Holly McClane: He means he's filed a restraining order
against me. I'm not allowed within 50 feet of him.
Richard Thornburg: 50 yards. So by keeping me in the section
you are violating a court order. I can sue you and this airline. That woman
assaulted me and she humiliated me in public.
Stewardess: [walks over to Holly and whispers] What did you
do?
Holly McClane: Knocked out two of his teeth.
Stewardess: Would you like some champagne?
I've only seen it twice, along with number 3.
Which I also like a lot because of the Simon Says stuff along with Samuel L. Jackson as Zeus.
Zeus: Why you keep calling me Jésus? I look Puerto Rican to
you?
John McClane: Guy back there called you Jésus.
Zeus: He didn't say Jésus. He said, "Hey, Zeus!"
My name is Zeus.
John McClane: Zeus?
Zeus: Yeah, Zeus! As in, father of Apollo? Mt. Olympus?
Don't fuck with me or I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass? Zeus! You got a
problem with that?
John McClane: No, I don't have a problem with that.
[McClane and Zeus are speeding through Central Park]
Zeus: Are you aiming for these people?
John McClane: No. Well, maybe that mime.
Here are a few of my favorites from this one:
Matt Farrell: Awww, great! There goes the cell phone.
John McClane: They knocked the satellites out of the skies,
now?
Matt Farrell: No, your battery ran out.
The Warlock: [to Matt] Why did you bring a cop to my command
center?
John McClane: [laughs] Command center? It's a basement.
The Warlock: [angrily] Who is this man?
[standing next to a stand-up cardboard cut-out of Boba Fett]
The Warlock: What, like, you a big fan of the Fett?
John McClane: No. I was always more of a Star Wars guy.
Thomas Gabriel: I can't talk this guy. You talk to him. See
if you can get him to focus.
[hands cell phone to Lucy]
Lucy McClane: Dad?
John McClane: Hi, baby.
Lucy McClane: Now there are only five of them.
[to terrorists over radio]
John McClane: Hey, Metro, how's your day goin' over there?
Yeah, you gotta be pretty, uh, crazy over there, what with all those 5-87's,
huh?
Mai Lihn: Yes, sir, we've had to dispatch all units.
John McClane: Yeah, you had to dispatch all units for all
the naked people walkin' around?
[after the presidential montage]
Casper: That was creepy.
Trey: I tried to find more Nixon.
Matt Farrell: [to Lucy] Wow, I know that tone. It's just weird hearing it come from someone... with hair.
Just one of the many reasons I love it.
Today was good.
Aside from the all the Die Hard I mean, went in to work for a couple of hours. Was swamped the first and dead the next. But was good bonding time with Girlscout.
We talked pets.
Showed her the picture of Carter with the snowpeople.
Cause he's like monstrous in comparison.
And he sleeps on my stomach.
It would be adorable if it wasn't killing my back.
He's currently decked out beside me.
But anyway, so yes, slept in, watched Die Hard's 2 and 3, went to work, went grocery shopping.
Came home, unpacked groceries, ate supper, now on to Die Hard 4.
And that was my day.
Tomorrow will be much different I'm sure. Back to the regular 9-6, plus gotta call the dentist to set up an appointment.
I actually started flossing, aren't you proud?
Although by "started" I mean like twice.
This week.
But that's better than nothing.
I'll start doing it until the appointment and then quit again until next time.
And there's a TAB meeting.
Get to plan out logistics for SR events and the kickoff party.
Yeehaw.
Alright, on to the music, then back to the movie.
Just a Fool - Christina Aguilera Feat. Blake Shelton
love this song.
and that it debuted on the voice.
which starts next week, get ready.
stoked.
love her.
will of course miss Xtina and Cee-Lo, but I've always loved Shakira. and Usher is alright I guess, so we'll see how this goes.

caught in a mudslide, eaten by a lion, got run over by a crappy purple Scion
"Thank God it's not flip flop Friday."
You know when your supervisor calls you in the morning and you look at the clock and freak out, thinking you're supposed to be at work and totally forgot or slept through your alarm?
That was me this morning. I saw Girlscout's name on the caller ID and like jumped up off the couch, ready to run to my closet.
Turns out she was looking for someone to switch days with a different coworker who couldn't make it in today.
However, I had a dentist appointment and a bunch of errands to run so that killed that.
Surprisingly, I survived the dentist.
It is not my favorite place to visit, mostly cause I have a crazy history with them.
Like literally, the only memories I have from visiting the dentist are all horrible.
Or awkward.
Like the time the new dentist asked me if I was married to my brother.
Well, he didn't phrase it like that, it was more like my brother was there the week before and he's like,
"Is he your husband?"
"Um, gross."
"Brother, got it."
But he was new.
Cause my old one got arrested.
And my orthodontist committed suicide.
Didn't think my teeth were that bad.
But I'm famous at the old dentist's office. He was gonna pull a tooth but it was adhered to the bone so he ended up cutting it out in four pieces. Which would have been bad enough except that when he put the numbing stuff on I felt like I was gonna pass out so I ran out to my mom in the lobby, smacked my head on the desk and konked out.
Woke up in his arms, apparently he was freaked.
Not exactly something that happens to him every day.
Which is the reason why I'm number 3 in the top 5 highlights list.
And the only reason I know that is the last time I went in to that office I was talking to the receptionist and she was like, "should we put a big red x on the floor in front of the desk?" and the girl standing next to her looks up at me and goes "that was you?!"
Anyway, so there was that time.
And of course braces were no fun, so there's that memory.
What else?
The first time I visited this new dentist I went in and they said I had 4 cavities. Though I'm pretty sure there ended up being 5 of them filled.
And the only reason I got through it was the nitrous being pumped into my nose. Though I'm pretty sure it was more of a mental thing than a physical thing.
Which is fine by me cause I survived.
Much like today, though of course I need to start actually flossing flossing, not just doing it when I force myself to cause I have an appointment coming up.
But my teeth have gotten better and I didn't have any new cavities so I'm calling it a victory.
"Nothing says spending Friday nights alone like a calculator watch."
After the appointment, since I was on that side of town anyway - and how weird is that to say, that side of town? I grew up in small town Nebraska, population 2500, there were no sides.
Though technically I was a farm girl outside of town, but it still counts.
But still feels weird that it takes so long to get to work and back even though I'm in the same city.
Where was I going with this?
Oh yeah, camera, I was on that side of town so I stopped in at Best Buy to get my new camera. Which I've been wanting to do for a while, but haven't had a day off off where I had the opportunity in a while. Most of my days off are either spent in class, doing homework, visiting the boyfriend, or going to the farmhouse. It was nice to stick around here and be able to run errands, take a nap and watch some of those library DVDs I have out that are due soon.
Anyway, the camera is all fancy and was on sale. It's got the same features as the bigger ones but it's still compact and I can carry it in my pocket.
Well, my coat pocket, it's not that compact.
But I'm excited. I wanted to get a new one for Vegas because my old one is literally old doesn't have that great of quality. Plus this one has the photo burst option so I can take like five with one press of a button. Figured it will be good to capture some night life or entertainment in Vegas. I'm stoked.
Even more stoked than I already was.
"Nothing like crying into a bag of Doritos on a Friday night."
After buying the camera - and the new Avengers movie - I got some groceries, did some laundry, started season one of Grimm - one of my many library dvd's - and took a nap.
Which was fantastic.
As is Grimm. I always meant to watch that one but never got around to it. Glad I waited 'til the DVD to get out cause I'd be totally lost without the first episode.
As is Grimm. I always meant to watch that one but never got around to it. Glad I waited 'til the DVD to get out cause I'd be totally lost without the first episode.
Oh, and somewhere in there I got gas and went to the carwash. Which my car was in desperate need of.
It's so nice to be able to wash the thing and then not have to drive on gravel roads to get home immediately after.
Cause that just kills the whole clean thing.
So the whole day off was pretty great, though I'm especially partial to the nap section of it, since I've been in dire need of an afternoon nap since the last time I had one.
I know, I'm old.
I'm feeling it.
But then I go to work and am told repeatedly how young I am for this job and then I'm okay.
Tomorrow I'm back at work, then heading out to see the boyfriend. Oh, and the Husker game is tomorrow night too, which I forgot until now so I'll have to DVR it. Though I'm assuming we'll do something similar to last time and go out to eat and watch it. Cause that was fun.
Alright, music for the night and then I'm out.
Carter is already sleeping and is stretched out so much that he's claimed an entire couch cushion. Did I mention he's a big fat Garfield-like cat? Perhaps I'll take a picture with my brand spanking new camera.

love the melody to this one. i have no idea what's going on at 4:06-:07 but it's hysterical.

but i've got friends that love me and they know just where i stand
Website for class is done!!
It's due at 10:00 AM, and it is currently 3:30 AM on the dot.
Yes, this post will say it's 11:50 PM but it says that often and every time it does I'm full of crap.
Just throwing that out there.
Anyway, I'm super pumped cause I'm finished with this giant giant giant website assignment for Info Tech class and as soon as this is posted there will be much victory dancing before I literally fall over and sleep.
Or die.
Either is possible at this point. I'm barely sitting up as it is.
But I'll come up with the energy to victory dance.
There's always energy stored somewhere for a victory dance.
I've been doing a lot of dancing lately, at work especially.
Which I didn't notice until it was pointed out to me.
Like literally, BossLady was talking about this culture event thing that I was supposed to go help out at and we were set up in a corner and she was like, "but you're big on gestures and dancing so you'll draw them in."
I went, I have no idea what you're talking about.
I do not.
At least, not that often.
But yes, apparently I do.
I blame my family.
Isn't that what most people do when accused of being quirky?
They blame their family because they're the only people who can't run screaming in the other direction?
They're stuck with you for life.
Anyway, Everts women do a lot of broad hand gestures.
Broad hand gestures and shrieks for joy when we win a card game/drink an adult beverage/arrive at a destination without getting lost/embarrass the children present - we get kicked out of churches and pizza joints but we go out in style.
Oh, don't give me that look, it wasn't me that got kicked out of the church. Though I did laugh about it when I was informed.
I don't remember where I was or where I was going so I'll start over.
Well, not over but yeah, whatever. You get it.
Did I mention I'm half asleep at this point. It's like once I hit submit all the energy just floated away.
But like I said, victory dancing will bring it back and last for probably about 5 seconds before I pass out and wake up on the living room floor.
Remind me to set my alarm, can't be late for the dentist.
Blah, dentists.
I'm sure there will be more on that tomorrow after the appointment.
I don't remember where their office is located, I'll have to look it up.
Think I've repressed it that much that I don't even know how to get there.
Nah, he wasn't awful I'm just hoping they don't do that gum measuring thing every time I go in and that was only cause it was my first time there.
Cause that was suck-ish.
And I haven't cut down on the sugar or pop or started flossing which makes me an awful person, I'm sure.
But I can't live without Diet Dr. Pepper. Every year I want Santa to bring me a lifetime supply but he never does. Maybe that will change if I start flossing.
I had a bunch of stuff to say about today but for the life of me I can't remember what it was.
Other than the fact I had to text Queen of the Known Universe cause I left my Star Wars thermos somewhere in the building and I didn't want someone walking off with it. You hit a button and Han Solo talks. He predicts me day. Like I'll ask, "what's today look like for us, Han?" and he'll reply "I've got a bad feeling about this..."
and then I groan and take a sip of the coffee/tea/whatever hot liquid seems to be inside it at the time.
Not the reason she gave me her number, but the real reason is more of a long story that will remain unexplained cause I don't want either of us to get yelled at.
Ha.
3:45 AM
Holy crap I need sleep.
Maybe if I fall asleep in the dentist chair I won't notice all the horrible things taking place.
Alright, going to bed now.
I leave you with this.

lovin' you is fun
Another night spent with the boyfriend means I'm cramming for homework but I don't care, he's worth it, and I'll get it done. It's not due 'til Friday and I've got tomorrow night and I mean all night since the only thing I have on Friday is a dentist appointment at 11AM.
And of course I haven't been flossing even though I should have been but I'm lazy and I don't like to floss.
It's just weird.
And I'm building a website - I'll turn on my inner nerd and get it done.
I'm an information professional, I got this.
I said proudly yet knowing I'll be flailing - much like today.
Okay, so I'm the volunteer coordinator at our branch and as of last week I had like 7 volunteers total.
I got 2 applications earlier this week, then this morning I had 3 patrons in a row come up and talk to me about it. So that makes what like 12?
Head math on the fly.
So I was like, okay, I'll find stuff for them to do.
Then I get back from lunch and they hand me 2 more applications that came in while I was gone.
For an hour, I was gone for an hour and 2 more came in.
AND THEN!!!
I'm up on second floor when I get a phone call from yet another chick asking about volunteer hours and I'm like AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I don't have enough stuff for all these people to do.
My regulars shelve.
That's good, I love that they can shelve and they're self-sufficient.
The thing about new people is that there's a whole training process and you have to have time to train them and then things for them to do.
I do not have that much stuff so I had to reject the 2 that came in over lunch and the 1 on the phone this afternoon because seriously? 5 in one week?
When I had 7 total?
What's in the water around here, seriously?
Anyway, they all seem competent enough that I won't have to worry about them, but finding things for them to do is kind of a challenge. Because my regulars are so good at what they do they don't really need backups. So I'm basically flailing for ideas. Some of which I've gotten from coworkers throughout the day, which I'm grateful for. Others of which I picked up from literally walking all over the building with a piece of paper and a pencil just writing down any possibility.
There's a lot of cleaning-related stuff that needs to be done.
Which is good, and some inputting data stuff, with some sorting of periodicals, aaaannnndddd now I'm blanking.
But I have a list.
Which is my lifeline.
Which is actually true for a lot of lists as of lately.
Anyway, 2 of them new 3 are coming in to train tomorrow, so list in hand I'll hopefully be able to get through it.
This is of course after our morning staff meeting to which I'm bringing my kickin' iPad cause it's all about ebooks.
Well, a portion of the meeting will be about ebooks, I'm hoping the rest would be as severely depressing as our last staff meeting.
But that's in the past.
I think we're good now.
And if not I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
Anyway, where was I going with this again?
Oh right, flail-age.
Right now I'm going to post this and then work on that website until I fall asleep.
Then tomorrow I'll have work and then come home immediately to finish the thing and get it posted by 10AM Friday morning.
Maybe if I'm up super late I can post-pone the dentist appointment even longer.
I just have a bad track record with dentists. I pass out in their offices and wake up in their arms, they mistake me for my brother's wife which is super awkward, I get high on nitrous just so they can fill 4 cavities, etc.
I'm not looking forward to yet another appointment.
But whatever, post this, website next, sleep eventually, then work, then more website and discussion boards, then hopefully sleep at a reasonable hour though I'm guessing not, then the poking and prodding of sterilized equipment and finally after that is an afternoon off.
On which I will probably make up for all the missed sleep.
But, the faster I get started now, the more I'll get done - or so I say - so moving on.

psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est...
Oh Leadership/Management how I love thee.
Though I'm still blaming her for the months I tied everything to Shackleton.
And still do on occasion.
But you've made up for it because I've literally copy/pasted all of my own reference work - which is allowed because I wrote it and I researched it and I created the charts - basically took the demographics powerpoint and turned it into a community analysis paper that's 11 pages - and I was worried about 7, geez. Now all that's left is to input article quotations and specific library statistics that I'll ask one of my bosses for tomorrow. Actually I already emailed her, hopefully she'll know what I'm talking about.
So that was handy as I only really had to create like 2 more graphics and then used all the info from the presentation and turned the speech I was going to give into the actual paper including why it's important to keep these specific demographics in mind when considering the collection and library budget and programs, etc.
Anyway, as it is now 11:45 I am going to finish the rest tomorrow. Hopefully it won't take too long before I can submit it and then be done with it.
Then I'll be good until next week and won't have to freak about leaving the reception early to go home and do homework.
Cause that kind of kills the fun.
Called my dad today cause his birthday was yesterday - which I remembered yesterday but got swamped with homework so I called today instead - after that I called Oldest Sister as today was her birthday.
Invited me to some makeup party thing.
To which I clearly said no, cause that's really not my thing and I also have a huge assignment that I'm working on.
Then she came back with home makeup is healthy cause it blocks out the sun and as our immediate family is plagued with skin cancer apparently I should now start wearing makeup so that I will not get it on my face.
Interesting technique.
See what I meant about devious family?
Speaking of devious, I set up an appointment with the dentist. Yes, they finally called my cellphone instead of the work phone.
They want me to go there sometime in September. Does it make me a bad person that I scheduled it for the end of the month so that I have time to start flossing like I should have started 6 months ago?
It takes forever!
And it's awkward and weird and I just forget about it in the first place.
Whatever, I'll start eventually. I got time.
I need to stop drinking so much pop.
Today I went with diet coke, does that count?
Isn't there less sugar in that?
So yes, work, then homework, got to show a volunteer the IT department today. He volunteered for 4 hours and helped answer computer questions. I felt bad cause it was super quiet when he was there. Oh well, he's done. As are all three of my GoPo volunteers to all I have left are the regulars and they know what they're doing. Woohoo!
Aside from that it was all homework.
And I should crash cause tomorrow will probably be yet another late night.

Though I'm still blaming her for the months I tied everything to Shackleton.
And still do on occasion.
But you've made up for it because I've literally copy/pasted all of my own reference work - which is allowed because I wrote it and I researched it and I created the charts - basically took the demographics powerpoint and turned it into a community analysis paper that's 11 pages - and I was worried about 7, geez. Now all that's left is to input article quotations and specific library statistics that I'll ask one of my bosses for tomorrow. Actually I already emailed her, hopefully she'll know what I'm talking about.
So that was handy as I only really had to create like 2 more graphics and then used all the info from the presentation and turned the speech I was going to give into the actual paper including why it's important to keep these specific demographics in mind when considering the collection and library budget and programs, etc.
Anyway, as it is now 11:45 I am going to finish the rest tomorrow. Hopefully it won't take too long before I can submit it and then be done with it.
Then I'll be good until next week and won't have to freak about leaving the reception early to go home and do homework.
Cause that kind of kills the fun.
Called my dad today cause his birthday was yesterday - which I remembered yesterday but got swamped with homework so I called today instead - after that I called Oldest Sister as today was her birthday.
Invited me to some makeup party thing.
To which I clearly said no, cause that's really not my thing and I also have a huge assignment that I'm working on.
Then she came back with home makeup is healthy cause it blocks out the sun and as our immediate family is plagued with skin cancer apparently I should now start wearing makeup so that I will not get it on my face.
Interesting technique.
See what I meant about devious family?
Speaking of devious, I set up an appointment with the dentist. Yes, they finally called my cellphone instead of the work phone.
They want me to go there sometime in September. Does it make me a bad person that I scheduled it for the end of the month so that I have time to start flossing like I should have started 6 months ago?
It takes forever!

2 buddhas and a bonzai
Was kind of a weirdass day.
It started with a pack of cookies and ended with a bag of catfood and some leftover sushi.
Basically we never have snack-age in the backroom. Well, our backroom that is. There are plenty of snacks throughout the other back rooms so I brought cookies.
Cause I'm an enabler like that.
The morning flew by but that's only because I went to lunch from 11:45-12:45, and when I say I went to lunch I mean I grabbed lunch from the place across the street and drove across town to a different branch where we were supposed to meet at 1PM. The plan was to eat on the way and then go in, but it took shorter than I thought - construction is a mess there - so I ended up eating and staying in the car until like 12:50 listening to the awesomeness that is Kristen Johnston's autobiography "Guts" which chronicles her drug addictions and recovery and life in comedy and all that.
I know, yet another celebrity drug horror story and it actually reminds me a bit of Carrie Fisher's "Wishful Drinking" which I also loved the audio of.
There's something about listening to the author's themselves reading the books they slaved over.
Anyway, it's hysterical because she's hysterical and it's open and honest and really I had no idea that she was hooked on Morphine and all that, but then she was on Anderson Cooper after the olympics reading her faux-obituary and since I loved her on 3rd Rock I figured I'd look into it.
Definitely worth it. On disc three and still loving it.
Okay, so after lunch with the meeting. Us TAB leader-folk decided to get together before the actual TAM - scroll to yesterday and you'll get the abbreviation - to talk about our Hunger Games party. Basically we're getting all of our kids together at a park to celebrate the awesomeness that is the Hunger Games by competing in random games and all that, should be fun I'm excited for it.
After our pow-wow was the actual meeting, mostly Summer Reading stuff - booklets, programs and the sadness that was the lone bunny at the home branch but that's a longer story - then I headed back to the work branch to finish off the day, taking down our artwork covering the ELL room window and working two consecutive hours with the Queen of the Known Universe. We were in shock, mostly because yesterday we decided they never stick us together because they know we'll probably take over the library in some sort of hostile manner.
But we're better than hostile, we're sneaky, and came up with our plan during hour 2 of our afternoon.
After closing up the lab I headed out to meet the sisters for sushi. I was there first - think that's a first for our dinners but there's usually some element of carpool - we talked Vegas, camp, significant others and tiny children.
Some highlights include:
-"2 Buddhas and a Bonzai" - so my boyfriend thinks that I don't drink. Which I guess lately, I haven't so much. Not that I keep track, but we do lean toward an adult beverage when we do our monthly dinners. This time it was sushi so we tried their fruity drinks and they turned out pretty well.
-"Salmon in the coffee aisle" - I hate Hyvee. Well, not the chain, just the one in particular, but apparently even Oldest Sister disagrees with their customer service. My angst revolves around their organizational system, okay so they don't have salmon in the coffee aisle, but they might as well.
-"What happened in there?"
-"I don't know, but it hurt." - as I was told by my mother as I cringed in fear, "if your 6 year old nephew can get his cavities filled you can get your cavities filled" So my nephew had cavities that needed filled and as his mother's wonderful pain-free theory of ignorance is bliss resounds when it comes to getting your cavities filled she didn't tell him about the shots. Famous story in our family - which I told on here a while ago during the "on nitrus" post is that the dentist told her that she was being pinched and that's what hurt, my brother then explained, "it's not a pinch you idiot it's a shot" and changed her dentist visits forever. I told this story to my dentist after he told me I'd "feel a slight pinch" and then he changed it to "okay, it's not a pinch".
The catfood that this day ended with actually came about after supper, apparently when I picked up Carter from the farmhouse I grabbed the tub of food, but neglected to grab the bag of food which must have been somewhere in the general vicinity. So Mom brought it to the zoo today - the family went while I was at work, which I'm fine with. Now the only thing that comes to mind when I think of the zoo is the lonely bunny at the home branch, smooth. Long story. Anyway, so she brought it to the zoo and gave it to Oldest Sister who stuck me with it after dinner.
So I got to carry that up the stairs along with my sushi leftover that I will probably pull out immediately following this post.
For some reason leftover sushi always tastes better after midnight.
Alright, I'll leave you with this clip of Kristen reading the epilogue to her book. I really do recommend it, I'll wait 'til I finish to give it an accurate Scale of Awesome rating. But if you like comedy, strong women and tales of unfortunate events then this is the book for you.
rock solid.
killed my pre-11:50 postings, bummer.

Thoughts from my Nitrous-addled brain…plus the GCB
Apparently, if my six-year-old nephew can get cavities filled I can get cavities filled.
Or so said my mother in her pep talk on the way to the dentist this morning.
Made me feel semi-pathetic but it worked. I can get cavities filled. As long as there is nitrous involved.
Dude, that stuff is wicked awesome. And I was on it for over an hour so there were a lot of random thoughts that went through my mind.
Thoughts that came to mind while I was on Nitrous:
-Dude. What if like people didn’t have noses. That would suck. Then we’d always have to breathe through our mouths. And then if something happened to your mouth you couldn't breathe. And then you'd be dead. All cause you had no nose.
-Dude. If I flinch is he going to slice off my tongue?
-Dude. That freakin’ repurposing project is this week. How am I gonna finish all those crafts, pilfer a mass amount of withdrawn books, and act semi-crafty in front of the kids? Granted I’ve started on some but they are questionable. But that’s what Squirt and Mentor are for.
-Dude. How awful of an editor am I? I’ve had her stories for over two months and they’re still not finished. How did I used to have time to do all this stuff plus write my own before? Oh right, that was college. Who studied in college? Joe Studley doesn’t like it when I say I guessed or rambled about stuff and got a 4.0 for two semesters.
-Dude. I’m running out of time on my DVR. I need to watch some of those shows so I can delete them and add more.
-Dude. I have so many useless fact books checked out that I should probably make an attempt at reading. Or the one Wordie gave me. A year ago. That’s still sitting on my endtable. But I don’t read books I check out from the library. I think they’re a good idea, so I check them out. And then ultimately I get distracted. However, if I buy the book then I don’t have to worry about due dates or if I’m in the mood to read in this three week period. And then I read.
-Dude. I’m gonna take a monster nap after this.
-Dude. My freakin’ curtains have yet to be hung up in the living room. I hate napping in the light.
-Dude. How does this crap stay in your mouth? If I eat something is it gonna come out. I will puke. Or pass out. Or puke and then pass out.
-Dude. Puking and passing out is not pleasant.
There were a few more Dude’s, but I’ll move on, you get the point.
My dentist rocks. And my hygenist sits with me to make sure I don't pass out.
And they let me wear headphones. Though no singing, sorry Sensei. I was competent enough to control that.
And it wasn't so bad. I made them laugh when I told them my sibling's story. Basically Second Sister was like,
"why does the dentist pinch you when you have a cavity?" and my brother was like,
"that's not a pinch you idiot that's a shot."
and she didn't believe him so he said to keep her eyes open when she's there, then she saw the needle and hated my brother for that.
So after the joy that was nitrous and the fact that I couldn't feel anything or swallow anything for like hours I took a nap. It was wicked awesome. Except it's light out so I really need to hang up these curtains. They've been sitting on my foosball table for like a year.
After my wicked awesome nap with my cat I caught up on some DVR. I don't think he knows what to do when I'm home during the day. He just stares at me. Or bites me cause I'm on his couch.
Anyway, DVR. So I watched Missing. Fantastic. Ashley Judd is a badass. Which I don't think I've said since Double Jeopardy.
Caught up on Bones, it was very creepy at the beginning which was exciting cause it's always so comedic and that's a change of pace. Reminded me of the Gormagon episodes, which were awesome. But then this one ended randomly - it was like is this a cliffhanger or not? Cause I mean are they going to pursue him next episode or is this just another one of those they'll come back to later. There was no big moment at the end to explain. I wish it was a bigger cliffhanger, you know? Something that would make me start watching it live time again? It's not as exciting anymore now that they're finally together. Sorry, ramble-nation.
The GCB is fabulous. I'm in love with it already and there's only been two episodes. BUT IT'S SO FUNNY!
Leslie Bibb is great as ever it's good to see her back in a starring role, Kristin Chenowith is always fantastic, plus you throw in a bunch of other actresses that I know from all these other shows and it's like I KNOW YOU! But how the hell do I know you? Like the chick that plays Heather, took me until the second episode to realize what she was from. I just kept seeing her dancing and hanging out of a limo. And then it hit me, VEGAS VACATION!
Anyway, I love it because it's original and it has fantastic one-liners.
Here are a few of my favorites:
-My bible's in my other purse.
-Why would anyone in their right mind leave Dallas for southern California? We’ve got the same weather without the liberals!
-She’s a yo-yo’er, right now the yo is up.
-Oh darlin’ you were a bitch with teeth.
-You reap what you sow – that’s Texan for karma.
-Onward you christian soldier.
-Got a job at a booby bar. - think that's my favorite cause she says it so blase in her opening narrative
-My husband just died, I’m still mourning the bastard for god’s sake!
-...or I’m gonna move me and the kids to a refrigerator box under the interstate, understood?
-As long as it’s the I-20, nobody we know ever rides that road.
-God she’s such a Pharisee.
-Well, someone’s been reading her New Testament.
-No I just googled hypocrisy.
-You have two guns? Mother what are you afraid of?
-*pulls out a shotgun* Not a damn thing.
So yes, you should watch it. It's fantastic. And now I'm stoked for Scandal. Though it doesn't start until like Mid-April.
Alright, DVR is updated, homework is done and posted, tomorrow is 9-6 so I'm out!

Jaywalking, Coworkers, Margaritas, Hunger Games, Dentists, and Sketch & Edit
Things I've learned over the past couple of days:
-When you decide to jaywalk, make sure no one you know is approaching in a large vehicle.
Slim Shady and I walked to work from the parking lot this morning and walked across the road as no one was coming. Suddenly there's a big silver vehicle headed in our direction and the second we make it to the other side there's this big HOOONK! Yep. Superwoman.
Crap.
So I guess I should change that to, if you're going to jaywalk make sure not to do it in front of your supervisor. She will give you crap.
-It's good to work with a group of people who get your references. My coworkers rock, I can pull out lines like "You changed it to Latrine?" and reference the "Hug and roll" technique and they know exactly what I'm talking about. They're fantastic. I'm loving this new supervisor even more. She knows Men in Tights and Holy Grail. Impressive. Plus she's gonna hit up The Hunger Games with us.
-The jalapeno resides in the foam. Or so it seems when that's the first thing of the margarita you taste and it kicks you in the ass. Jalapeno margaritas rock. Though Slim Shady does not agree. I told her we were going there tonight to which she replied,
"Are you going to order a disgusting margarita?"
"Maybe I should ask for one and see what they bring me."
"A jalapeno margarita."
Thanks Slim Shady, you rock...no faith in the jalapeno margaritas man, ouch.
-Making a Hunger Games booklist is fun, until it comes to describing them and you haven't read the majority of them. But that's what reviews are for. And granted you don't need to describe them, but I think it's more useful cause then they know why it's similar. I got to do a read-a-like display on it today at work - got to make a sign and everything - and they'll officially advertise the list closer to the movie. I'll give you the link. Stoked for the movie, already bought the tickets.
The boyfriend is currently giving me advice about the dentist. Everyone I've talked to today is just making it worse, I'm freakin' out! I don't do well at dentists okay. I have qualified professionals to back me up when I say that! I'm freakin' famous at the old office! Even based a freakin' Sketch and Edit on the thing.
Maybe I'll repost it. It's been so long since I've finished one of those that it's getting ridiculous. Perhaps if I bring them back it will give me motivation.
I do have a bunch of unfinished ones, but they're missing something. You know? Like this one. I'm not happy with it, and want to go back and change things, which I will in the future. But here's what it is for now.
Sketch and Edit Sit in the Waiting Room originally posted here
E – “I hate waiting rooms. They always make me feel so nervous.”
S – “Remind me why I’m here again.”
E – “Every time I go to the dentist something always goes wrong.”
S – “And I’m here because…”
E – “I need the moral support. You should know I’m famous here for bad things happening. Didn’t you notice the hygienists laughing and giving me funny looks when I checked in?”
S – “I just figured that was a normal reaction for people around you. Why are you famous at your dentist’s office?”
E – “Just traumatic events… I kicked him once.”
S – “The dentist?”
E – “No, Janet Reno, yes the dentist!”
S – “What happened?”
E – “He told me all he needed to do was pull out one of my baby teeth and it wouldn’t take long but ended up cutting it into four pieces.”
S – “Ouch, but that’s not that bad.”
E – “And I passed out, it was embarrassing.”
S – “Lots of people pass out at their dentist’s.”
E – “Do they also freak out over having too much Novacaine, run to the lobby, smack their heads on the main desk, conk out cold and then wake up in their dentist’s arms?”
S – “All that here?”
E – “Yeah, last time I was here they asked if they should put a big red x in front of the desk. Apparently I made number three on their list of top five highlights in this office. I bet it’s down to number four now though since he got arrested this summer.”
S – “What?”
E – “Thought you might like that one. He was giving illegal prescriptions over the phone of something like that.”
S – “Your dentist is a felon?!”
E – “Say it again but louder, I don’t think the mailman heard you. And my orthodontist committed suicide a while ago too.”
S – “Are your teeth really that bad?” *Edit glares* “So, basically I’m here to…?”
E – “Keep me from getting violent and/or passing out in the lobby…or just generally embarrassing myself.”
S – “Sounds like a full-time job.”
Dentist – “We’re ready for you now.” *leaves*
S – “Was that the felon?”
E – “Yes.”
S – “Aw, no felons have the right to be that good looking…”
E – “Slow down there cowgirl. I’ll be back soon…hopefully.”
S – “Okay, I’ll just be here, building up my tolerance for heedless celebrity gossip. Look, it’s Brad and Jennifer!”
E – “I always was Team Aniston. I bet if you dig deep enough in those piles you’ll find some about Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley…” *leaves, comes back twenty minutes later to find a red-marker-colored taped ‘x’ in front of the desk* “Oh, You’re dead.” *Sketch smiles and makes a run for it*
Oh my god, so sad it's been so long that when I went to find it I realized I had like 5 sitting at the bottom that I've completely forgotten about altogether. And they actually don't suck! Like this one.
So that's exciting and depressing at the same time. Exciting because they don't suck, but depressing because I've changed so much that I don't even have time to write anymore.
I'm supposed to be editing two stories for a friend, granted I'm almost done with one of them, but I've had them for like 2 months. Worst editor ever.
Where was I before all this?
Dentist.
Right.
Fantastic.
Appointment to get cavaties filled tomorrow. Mom is taking me cause they're getting me all drugged up. Am taking my headphones, I'll try to remember not to sing. Or do anything embarrassing. But if you're drugged up you really don't care about that anyway.
Alright, out for the night. Not gonna be fun tomorrow cause after all that - I'll sleep it off hopefully - I get to do all my homework and get it posted as it's due at some point this weekend, I should probably figure out what date exactly. But it's just reading articles and posting my opinion. But first sleep will be required to think properly. Both now and after the appointment.

-When you decide to jaywalk, make sure no one you know is approaching in a large vehicle.
Slim Shady and I walked to work from the parking lot this morning and walked across the road as no one was coming. Suddenly there's a big silver vehicle headed in our direction and the second we make it to the other side there's this big HOOONK! Yep. Superwoman.
Crap.
So I guess I should change that to, if you're going to jaywalk make sure not to do it in front of your supervisor. She will give you crap.
-It's good to work with a group of people who get your references. My coworkers rock, I can pull out lines like "You changed it to Latrine?" and reference the "Hug and roll" technique and they know exactly what I'm talking about. They're fantastic. I'm loving this new supervisor even more. She knows Men in Tights and Holy Grail. Impressive. Plus she's gonna hit up The Hunger Games with us.
-The jalapeno resides in the foam. Or so it seems when that's the first thing of the margarita you taste and it kicks you in the ass. Jalapeno margaritas rock. Though Slim Shady does not agree. I told her we were going there tonight to which she replied,
"Are you going to order a disgusting margarita?"
"Maybe I should ask for one and see what they bring me."
"A jalapeno margarita."
Thanks Slim Shady, you rock...no faith in the jalapeno margaritas man, ouch.
-Making a Hunger Games booklist is fun, until it comes to describing them and you haven't read the majority of them. But that's what reviews are for. And granted you don't need to describe them, but I think it's more useful cause then they know why it's similar. I got to do a read-a-like display on it today at work - got to make a sign and everything - and they'll officially advertise the list closer to the movie. I'll give you the link. Stoked for the movie, already bought the tickets.
The boyfriend is currently giving me advice about the dentist. Everyone I've talked to today is just making it worse, I'm freakin' out! I don't do well at dentists okay. I have qualified professionals to back me up when I say that! I'm freakin' famous at the old office! Even based a freakin' Sketch and Edit on the thing.
Maybe I'll repost it. It's been so long since I've finished one of those that it's getting ridiculous. Perhaps if I bring them back it will give me motivation.
I do have a bunch of unfinished ones, but they're missing something. You know? Like this one. I'm not happy with it, and want to go back and change things, which I will in the future. But here's what it is for now.
Sketch and Edit Sit in the Waiting Room originally posted here
E – “I hate waiting rooms. They always make me feel so nervous.”
S – “Remind me why I’m here again.”
E – “Every time I go to the dentist something always goes wrong.”
S – “And I’m here because…”
E – “I need the moral support. You should know I’m famous here for bad things happening. Didn’t you notice the hygienists laughing and giving me funny looks when I checked in?”
S – “I just figured that was a normal reaction for people around you. Why are you famous at your dentist’s office?”
E – “Just traumatic events… I kicked him once.”
S – “The dentist?”
E – “No, Janet Reno, yes the dentist!”
S – “What happened?”
E – “He told me all he needed to do was pull out one of my baby teeth and it wouldn’t take long but ended up cutting it into four pieces.”
S – “Ouch, but that’s not that bad.”
E – “And I passed out, it was embarrassing.”
S – “Lots of people pass out at their dentist’s.”
E – “Do they also freak out over having too much Novacaine, run to the lobby, smack their heads on the main desk, conk out cold and then wake up in their dentist’s arms?”
S – “All that here?”
E – “Yeah, last time I was here they asked if they should put a big red x in front of the desk. Apparently I made number three on their list of top five highlights in this office. I bet it’s down to number four now though since he got arrested this summer.”
S – “What?”
E – “Thought you might like that one. He was giving illegal prescriptions over the phone of something like that.”
S – “Your dentist is a felon?!”
E – “Say it again but louder, I don’t think the mailman heard you. And my orthodontist committed suicide a while ago too.”
S – “Are your teeth really that bad?” *Edit glares* “So, basically I’m here to…?”
E – “Keep me from getting violent and/or passing out in the lobby…or just generally embarrassing myself.”
S – “Sounds like a full-time job.”
Dentist – “We’re ready for you now.” *leaves*
S – “Was that the felon?”
E – “Yes.”
S – “Aw, no felons have the right to be that good looking…”
E – “Slow down there cowgirl. I’ll be back soon…hopefully.”
S – “Okay, I’ll just be here, building up my tolerance for heedless celebrity gossip. Look, it’s Brad and Jennifer!”

Chocolate Fixes Everything
Queen of the Known Universe is really the queen.
We had this massive update of our ILS system last night and it has some glitches. So there were a lot of frantic moments, mostly this morning.
So, when our Assistant Director comes down to check on us and asks how it’s going she says something to the effect of, “you know what would make it better? Chocolate.”
Jokingly of course.
He goes to lunch.
Comes back with bags of chocolate.
For serious.
Made my day.
I totally busted out laughing cause it was oh my god, he actually brought us chocolate!
And it helped man. We were stoked. Chocolate really does fix all.
I figured that out in high school. An old friend of mine and myself had this theory that just kept getting expanded on.
Originally it was chocolate fixes all. Then it was chocolate and Moulin Rouge fixes all. Then it was chocolate, Moulin Rouge, and apple juice fixes all. And I think it ended with chocolate, Moulin Rouge, apple juice and Carrie’s broken chair fixes all.
Yes I had a broken chair.
And it was awesome.
It was a recliner that stabbed you if you walked by too closely cause the footrest was broken.
My parents hated it cause I brought it home with me from the dorms.
Shortly after I moved out it mysteriously disappeared.
Hmmm…much like my Titans hat that I wore every day…
I’m lucky I escaped with my tearaways! Though I’m sure people are proud that I rarely wear them anymore. As I don’t really have a chance.
Didn’t we just have this conversation? I’m a workaholic? Right? Yeah, we figured that out a couple days ago.
Not that it wasn’t apparent before then.
But this whole chocolate thing is killing my good behavior for the dentist. Apparently I drink too much pop and chew too much gum. Now Mom wants to buy me a water pik, whatever that is, but it would probably be useful. Then maybe I wouldn't have to give up the pop and gum. Cause that's clearly not happening.
Tonight was fun. Had sushi and a movie with Oldest Sister and family. We watched Tower Heist - which I took the kids to see in theaters - and it had alternate endings. They were both good and should have been added, cause you could have the original and both the additions. They should have them.
Oh well, guess more people will have to watch the DVD to see them.
"If you get shot in your head, it's over. If you get shot in your face, the bullet will go through your cheek and come out the other side!"
We still died, actually Squirt and I kept going, it's almost to the best part, sh it's coming up!
Then the maid went rogue, ran into the FBI guy with the cart and said into the radio, "he was allergic to chocolate, i had to beat him" and we both died.
Best part of the whole movie, though the whole thing is good.
It's hard to have a bad movie when you have so many good actors in it. Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck, Gabourey Sidibe, Alan Alda, even Téa Leoni was pretty badass in it. Though the last movie I saw with her in it was Fun With Dick and Jane...which wasn't too fantastic.
Guess what?!
I get to sleep in tomorrow! So don't call me tomorrow morning! Cause I'm sleeping passed noon.
I'm still exhausted. Girlscout says maybe I have mono. I went NOOO!! Don't even say it!!!
I had that once before and it was not cool.
But I'm tired all the time. Oldest Sister says I just haven't caught up on sleep yet. Which is true, I haven't been sleeping much lately.
Tonight I will. Gonna put in some Charlie's Angels season one and crash with my big fat cat.
I'm still counting car crashes, I bet I can reach double digits by disc 4!

Give up the funk
Today mostly sucked.
I'm having a bit of a "life sucks and then you die" kind of day.
Went to the dentist at 8AM.
Blah.
First time there as I usually go to their other office - it was closer to my hometown and I know everyone and all that.
I have never had a cavity in my life. Now apparently I have four.
They run a bunch of different tests at this one, measuring gums and doing something with lasers. Made me late to work, though I had given my boss notice in advance.
I have to go back next week to get them filled.
So, because I'm apparently a total pathetic loser I called my mom freaking out, and she's gonna take me.
But you don't understand, the last time they had to numb me for something I woke up in the dentists arms...go here: Sketch and Edit Sit in the Waiting Room
Not exactly one of my finer moments, but it did make their top five.
And I know this sounds trivial for you, cavities and all that, but anything that involves needles, or even the thought of them makes me pass out. Or at least freak out, hit my head on a desk, konk out for a few minutes then wake up in my dentists arms.
So I told him that. He said he'd give me that laughing gas stuff instead.
John Boy said I needed to take a recorder with me in case I said something worthy of blackmail.
Anyway, the fact that I was emotional and anything could set me off made me avoid coworkers and stay away from conversations and all that.
That just put me in a funk for the rest of the day, but I have great coworkers so it didn't last long.
Plus an old high school friend stopped by so I was alright by mid-afternoon.
It was just one of those days you know?
But I was productive after work, finished my takehome quiz, added to my group wiki, next step is to read some articles and post on a discussion board, then comment on 2 other peoples's posts. Should be interesting.
And I finally got to talk to Sketch about anything and everything. Which was way overdue.
At the moment I am literally about to pass out, feeling light-headed and all that so I'll post this and be off.
As I was in one for most of the day - though still had that damn billy ocean song stuck in my head - here are some great funk numbers to jam to.

"But I don't feel like dancin, no sir, no dancin' today."
Okay, I'm being lazy today and just hitting you with a music rec. You've read my rambles all week I feel like I should give you time off.
Although I did go to the dentist today, no cavities, yay for a perfect record. We got to discuss my big red x in front of the desk moment when I got to fill out the forms. One of the questions was if I have ever had a reaction to novacaine. I should have put yes in big red bold letters.
Here's the Scissor Sisters' "I don't feel like dancin" which clearly he does because he dances during the entire video. But whatever. And if you like this one I strongly recommend you check out "Take your mama" which is another one of my favorites.
My second sister got me hooked on them one summer when we were camping. The video is a little bizarre at times but I actually immensely enjoy it. I think the stop action thing is kinda cool, plus his purple outfit man, that's just awesome.
