on the edge of seventeen.

It's handy when you're aware of how much of a morning person you are not.

Something like setting an alarm days early because you know you'll forget day-of is quite helpful.

Though a bit confusing when you wake up to your phone alarm going off at 7AM and don't remember why you set it for 7 and not the usual 8.

Oh, meeting, right.

Last coffee with the Library Goddess.

As her GA anyway.

Stoked for tomorrow's party.

Basically we go to Mizzou even though it's online. So for graduation we can either drive there and walk the stage or they can mail us our diplomas. Since it's a far drive and not everyone is going over the Library Goddess is throwing the graduates a party at her house.

And since I'm her GA I get to go even though I don't graduate until December.

I get to pour margaritas, I'm excited. The same crew I'm sure. I love our gang, they're highly entertaining.

Digital Beef Derby Girls.

Black and white uniforms with a QR code on the back. Awesomeness.

Anyway, so today work was pure crapsuck.

The morning coffee was good but it was over early so I went over to work early and basically fell back asleep downstairs - but set an alarm so I'd wake up at 9 for work.

Note to self - never do that again. You will be dead on your feet until noon.

I was literally a walking zombie until lunch.

So the work day started off crappy cause all I wanted to do was sleep - it doesn't help that I keep going to bed at 2AM, that needs to change.

And then the work day ended crappy cause I got yelled at for something that's not my fault.

And there were still like 10 patrons in the library after closing and all I wanted to do was get the heck out of there and go see my boyfriend.

Which I did. We went out for supper and then watched Collateral.



We seem to be on a Tom Cruise kick. Saw Oblivion earlier this week, Jack Reacher on our anniversary, etc.

Not bad, scale of awesome rates it at about 6/10. Jamie Foxx was fantastic. And Tom Cruise had gray hair the whole movie, totally freaked me out. But he played it well.

And the boyfriend's Mom gave me a May Day basket. I feel special.

But he fixed it all, as always. I no longer feel crapish or suckish.

Anyway, after I got back I watched, well am watching Win Win.



It's pretty good actually. Normally I'm not a fan of Paul Giamatti, not that I don't like him, I just don't search out his movies, but he's not bad in this one.

The kid is brilliant - Alex Shaffer. He was actually a wrestling champion before he became an actor.

I knew the assistant coach from something and it was driving me nuts so I had to look it up. Bobby Cannavale. Will & Grace. That's right. Okay, we're good now.

Anyway, scale of awesome says about an 8/10 for this one.

Okay, yes, it is 2AM and yes I am not sleeping.

But in my defense I am off tomorrow and don't have to be up until my dentist appointment in the afternoon.

Of which I should double check my schedule so I can figure out what time exactly I need to be up.

Alright, on to the music:

Edge of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks


whoa, classic video.

though every time i hear the song i think of this:


oh, joan cusack. you are highly entertaining.

Cause Lord Knows I'm a Rolling Stone

"Wedding cake freezes, this we know."
"Runaway Bride" I love it. 7/10 on the Scale of Awesome. Maggie - Runaway Bride - Carpenter leaves grooms at the alter, so far there's been 3 with another wedding about to happen. Ike the New York reporter finds this story to hard to pass up so he completely bashes her and loses his job. In search of vindication he goes to meet her and prove that he was right, meanwhile finding out all about the true her and why she left all those men.
Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, Joan Cusack

I forgot that Christopher Meloni is one of the grooms.
I think I like them better together in this one than I do in Pretty Woman. It's like a reunited cast, seriously.
Plus Joan Cusack is hilarious. Sketch is a big fan of that family - mostly because of Gross Pointe Blank. "I'm taking down the office now!" Maybe that'll be next on my list tomorrow night.

"Cheer. Normal."

I love split shift. I can take naps, I can watch movies, I can run errands - this time I cleaned my apartment. I even spot-cleaned the place. Not that it needed it, although I'm clumsy and Carter is Carter. Carter hates the vacuum. Scares the crap out of him. Runs and hides.

Then watched some Scooby doo. They have this Mystery Incoporated series, it's actually pretty funny. Although it has Shaggy and Velma as a couple plus Daphne fawning all over Fred - which I guess is normal. Just weird to actually see them as teenagers and you know, people with lives other than purely focusing on mystery solving. Did it used to be that way and I was just too young to notice? I thought it was purely mystery stuff without all that relationship drama. Will have to look for the original series through interlibrary loan or something.

"I think I am profoundly and irreversibly screwed up."


Songs of the night: It's jam out time.

"Runaway Baby" - Bruno Mars

wasn't really a fan before but after listening to his whole album i'm loving it.

"Only You" - Josh Kelley

yes that's Katherine Heigl and yes they're married now. I think I posted that a while ago but just in case you didn't already know.


Tomorrow is coming faster than I thought it would which means I should sleep. Gonna pick up NCIS season 8 after work, huzzah!
