When I'm not with you I lose my mind, give me a sign...

I don’t like the new blogger.

Everything is switched around.

Just when I got used to the old one.

It’s like Facebook, why you gotta keep changing. Just stick.

Like Timeline?

Seriously?

Lame.

And weird.

Just weird.

That’s not Facebook, it’s something completely different.

And it takes forever to load everything.

Sorry.

Rant of the day.

Everything else today was pretty good.

Except when it was bizarre.

But not all the bizarre was bad, some was cool.

But other parts of the bizarre were not so cool.

So yeah, pretty good.

That sums it up.

Today was pretty good.

No major problems and The Voice tonight was actually I think the first night in a long time that one of my favorites wasn’t kicked out.

Nice.

So, I’ve picked the final four, right now they each have two on their team, but my guess for the final is gonna be Tony Lucca for Team Adam, Juliet Simms for Team Cee-Lo, Lindsey Pavao for Team Xtina and Jermaine Paul for Team Blake.

That’s my guess.

Even though I’m secretly rooting for Katrina Parker.

She did pretty well tonight, I was shocked SHOCKED that Juliet wasn’t immediately saved, but I guess Jamar Rogers did well last night so he deserved it.

Okay, I’ve hit my Voice rambling limit, as most of you don’t watch it you’re welcome to skip those, though I do have to warn you that they’re gonna be weekly until this thing is over for the season.

Usually I have Castle to follow it but not this week, that’s okay, Adam Baldwin as a guest star makes up for it.

Oh my god, except I kept waiting for a Firefly reference! Seriously, wouldn’t “you’re damaging my calm” be a perfect line for his cop character?!

Okay, not work, not TV, what else is going on.

Um, nothing.

Which is AWESOME!

Did I mention how excited I am to be out of school until June?

Except next week is when camp really picks up so I gotta enjoy this while it lasts.

Like Thursday, day off, middle of the week, gonna sleep in, watch some movies I have checked out, then get some dinner with the sisters for my awesome sister-in-law’s birthday.

Stoked.

I enjoy my siblings, they amuse me. And feed me great one-liners.

And now draw me pretty pictures.

Second Sister attempted “Vikings” on the Draw Something app. That was I think my favorite so far.

I guessed it completely from the letters given to me cause it was like yellow-hat'd people under a boat.

It was awesome.

Should have taken a picture.

Not that any of mine are freakin’ fantastic, as I’m not an artist at all.

Well, drawing-wise anyway.

But I write.

Not this.

Well, I mean I write this too, but this isn’t my writing.

Okay, rephrase, this is not my serious writing.

Not that all my other writing is serious, okay let’s put it this way, this is crap.

It’s fun crap.

And people read it.

My other stuff, which people for some weird reason are convinced is good, I don’t share.

Unless it’s for a class assignment.

Or a Sketch and Edit.

Speaking of, I have a few new ones I could post on here, but I should send them to Sketch first as she would kill me for posting them on here first.

Geez, it’s been a while, I think my last one was like…hm, let me check.

And that was crap.

But it’s fun crap.

Much like this blog.

Which is why they’re on here.

Perhaps I will throw in some writing on Thursday. Make a day of it. After I sleep in. I’M JUST SO EXCITED!

Did I mention I’m not really a morning person.

But you probably figured that out already, I dare you to find one of these that’s posted before 8PM. Or 9 even.

Most of them are like 11:50PM.

Rock it.

What else?

Oh yeah, the Wordsmith came in to work today.

I totally froze.

Gave me an invitation to his graduation.

But it was funny cause he’s physically told me that hell will freeze over before he sets foot into the library.

Like, when he gave me an Xmas present he put it on my car instead of bringing it inside.

Scared the crap out of me in the process.

But still, so yeah, gave me the invitation and then basically ran like hell.

Cause you know, it was about to freeze over, if it hadn’t already.

Crazy.

Anything else?

Um.

Not especially.

 

Oh, my cat is crazy.

But that's nothing new.

String hoarder.

And some empty shelves.

Which will soon be gone.

Cause they're already to the N's in Biography for the shift, woohoo!

Okay, on to the music.

I’m thinking classic with a twist.  

Because it’s just that awesome.

Baby One More Time – Tony Lucca

You can laugh all you want man, but name one other American song that people world-wide can name by hearing just those first three notes.

I don't want no pickles, I don't want no honey, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny.

Ohh the joy that is family.

And actually it is a joy.

Joyful and triumphant.

Gonna say that at this moment life pretty much rocks.

Love my family, love my boyfriend, love my job, love that camp prep starts later this week - not so in love with my current homework assignment as assigning call numbers isn't exactly cake if you're not copy-cataloging, but in a couple weeks I'll be done with it, so I guess I could love that.

Today was good, this joyful eastertide.

There's a debate going on.

I'm kind of the queen of nicknames, or so I've been dubbed at least.

So I have nicknames for pretty much everyone that is important to me, family, coworkers, other friends, but no nickname for the boyfriend.

Other than "the boyfriend" which apparently doesn't count.

Though I say it does as he's the only boyfriend that matters.

Which makes it sound like there's more than one so let me rephrase.

Out of all that I've had he's the one that matters, how's that?

Anyway, according to my family he needs a nickname because "the boyfriend" can only go so far. And I don't see them calling him "babydoll" anytime soon, though that's more of a long story.

So here were some suggestions that came from the round table. Or square table. Rectangular table. of suggestions. yeah.

-The boyfriend submitted via text "So damn good looking" but says "Mr. Sexy" will do also.
My family's comeback to that was, "as long as Rick can call you that in public."

-Option two was "Stude" as it mixes his name with dude. Which just happens to be my nickname, long story.
To which he came back with "Stud as in Stud Muffin"
Though my family decided to stay away from muffins.

-My brother threw out "Mound of Useless Information" as he's good with trivia, but "King of "Useless Information" is already taken by my brother in law.
He didn't like that one so my brother in law said "He could be the Queen of Useless Information but that would be awkward for me."

The debate continues I'm sure more will arise.

Quotes of the day:

Second Sister: "I'm only playing Grapes to Pears." as a reply to Mom asking if we wanted to play "Apples to Oranges" which is what she calls "Apples to Apples"

Me: "I wanna build a boat out of a screen door!"
Sister-in-law: "It would be weird if someone knocked."
Second Sister: "Don't answer if they say landshark."
Oldest Sister: "That's a life lesson for you...Where in the world would you live that the basis of fixing a boat with a screen door is a logical choice? Maybe in the mob and you need to get rid of some bodies."
Me: "But close the door quick or you're screwed."
Oldest Sister: "We could really solve the world's problems this afternoon with some more alcohol."
Second Sister: "I'm turning it back to Fox News and that's all there is to it."
flex seal commercial, i think it would be awesome. just sayin'

Mom: "Have you guys ever had an implant?"
Everyone: "Just one?"
Me: "What to even them out?"
she was talking about teeth but we didn't see it that way. and no our answers were all no. completely out of the blue.

Mom: "Dad says to get the camera, we may not see you in a dress ever again." yes i wore one to church. but i now have multiple in my closet so i should wear them at some point.

So after church, dinner, helping the easter bunny with the eggs, watching the kids hunt, debating, Swamp People, Pirates 4, Narnia, pitch, more food and a new addiction the "draw something" app I made it back to the apartment unscathed.

As a present from my sister we all got Silly Songs With Larry on CD and it rocks I jammed the whole way home.

If you suffer from severe culture-deprivement Silly Songs With Larry is a segment of the show "Veggie Tales" in which Larry the cucumber sings a silly song.

And now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry. The part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song.

"Dance of the Cucumber"

"dance, dance, yeah!"

"Water Buffalo Song"

"you can't say everybody has a water buffalo when everyone does not have a water buffalo. we're going to get nasty letters saying where's my water buffalo? why don't i have a water buffalo? and are you prepared to deal with that? i don't think so just stop being so silly."
yes i recited that from memory, it's my favorite and an old friend of mine and i used to sing it repeatedly.

"The Hairbrush Song"

"oh where oh where oh where oh where oh where!!!!!"

"The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything"

"and i've never been to boston in the fall"

"I Love My Lips"

"she had a beard and it felt weird" "ohh, look at the time!"

"The Bunny Song"

rack shack and benny, he's the bad guy. the background singers make the song. seriously.

gonna have to get off vacation mode, long day tomorrow but i get to start it at the home branch for the first time in months. woohoo!

"I don't want no pickles, I don't want no honey, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny. I don't want a tissue when my nose is runny, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny. I don't want to tell you a joke that is funny, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny. I don't wanna play on a day that is sunny, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny..."
