"two hours outside any city looks like Kentucky."

No matter how crazy life can be or how frustrating or how tiring or how whatever, my teens always make me feel better.

And I'm not saying that I'm tired or frustrated or whatever about the library, I love my job, love my life, love my boyfriend, love my family, etc.

I'm just saying, they cheer me up.

No matter what's going on.

Had our monthly meeting today, scavenger hunt is next week with the Cosplay party after that.

Cosplay as in costume party.

I'm guessing we'll have a bunch of anime kids and all that. Think one of mine is going as Doctor Who. Should be interesting.

Anyway, so we went over notes for the next few months, scheduled some more fun stuff. They want to be more involved and do more stuff so I've tried to do a meeting and an activity every month. This time they want to do a Reader's Theater kind of thing in which they'll act out something on the spot that's being read to them.

I'm thinking cheesy romance novels sound hilarious.

And then for the next one they're thinking game day - wii, board games, etc.

Aside from the meeting it wasn't a very eventful day. Spent the majority of it in the back room checking stuff in or stocking supplies.

Oh, I trained yet another new employee.

He's not ours but he's training here cause the branch he's actually supposed to work at also has 3 other new employees.

So there's no one around to train them there cause they're all new.

Well, most of them are new, think they still have 2 of the originals.

Anyway, so trained one of them on desk stuff, then had the TAB meeting and decorated the Young Adult area with all of their lovely artwork and bookmarks.

Then after work the boyfriend came up and we went to see Promised Land.

Written by Dave Eggers but adapted by Matt Damon and John Krasinski.

aka Jason Bourne and Jim from The Office.



Scale of Awesome says about 7/10. Interesting to see him in serious roles now instead of action stuff. Though he was all carpenter in this one like We Bought a Zoo.

It's basically about Matt Damon and his partner played by Frances McDormand. They're natural gas salespeople and arrive in this small town attempting to sway people to sign over their land to be drilled but this environmentalist shows up and all hell breaks lose.

It's interesting, good storyline and all that. Well-casted.

But it was nice to see something so different from what we usually watch. Due to timing constraints mostly cause there's only a few hours between when I get off work until when he has to leave here to get to work on time.

Alright, I should crash. Totally exhausted. And Carter's already sleeping and taking up half the couch.

More of 2012's greatest hits.

Gangnam Style - Psy

it's hard to beat the originator but i think i like mitt romney style better.

scroll down a few posts and you'll see it.

or just go here


Farming and I Grow It - ThePetersonFarmBros

since i can't post the original version of this one for reasons that will go unexplained - though if you've seen it then you understand - you get the parody instead.

and i enjoy it so you should watch it.


Locked Out of Heaven - Bruno Mars


the boyfriend was obsessed with this song while we were in vegas. still sings it from time to time.

legitimate pre-midnight post. holy crap tag in use.

Mitt-Bama Style

Okay, thing I forgot to mention in yesterday's post?

I listened to Mitt Romney Style whilst voting for Mitt Romney.

I'm aware that the song is supposed to deter people from voting for him, but I totally jammed to it whilst filling in the circles anyway.

For those of you who have yet to watch it....

WATCH THIS FIRST

Then go here:


this is by far my favorite video of the moment.

had to buy the song on itunes cause it was stuck in my head after watching it like 20 times.
notice all the references?

go behind the scenes here:


Mitt Romney Style is much more catchy than Obama Style:

yeah, no.


while not as impressive as that one attempted to be these actors could totally pass for obama and michelle

yeah, that's mostly dancing and that's all. but they're dead on appearance-wise.


okay, i take it back, this one's pretty good

hey, romney's shady.


I don't remember what I was actually going to talk about today. Had 3 go-po volunteers come in at the same time for training. That was interesting. What else? Um, oh, finished two major homework assignments. Which means I can actually take time to pack for Vegas either tomorrow or Friday. Depending on which night Oldest Sister is taking me shopping. For clothes to wear to Vegas. And then we'll buy more in Vegas. But I don't plan on gambling excessively so I should be fine. I mean, I will, just attempt to keep it under a hundred.

Alright, that's all I got for today. Glad I'm done with the assignments. Just gotta post to a discussion board later and that's it for the ones due before Vegas.

And you got the song, well songs, of the week so I'm out.

Notice the lack of Voice ramblings? Not really impressed with the artists on either of these teams aside from Trevin, Adriana and Mackenzie. Oh well, another episode tomorrow.

Vegas countdown 3 days and counting.

Out.

i need you now and i'll need you then.

Okay, so funny story.

Remember that makeup thing I'm supposed to go to tomorrow?

Totally lost the sheet with all her information on it so I'm screwed.

And I have massive amounts of homework so I can't go.

Which sounds lame, but it's true. If I don't get the stuff done then I'll end up doing it Friday night and it's due Saturday morning so if there's a problem I'm seriously screwed. And it's building websites which means a bunch of new software, joy.

I met up with the professor last night, but immediately following I got distracted so of course I didn't work more on it like I should. Then tonight the boyfriend was having a bad night so I headed out there 'til 11. Called Sketch on the way home cause she has having issues as well, apparently it's the time for it.

Great, just what I need.

We ran some errands, watched the Huskers lose to Penn State and then part of Titanic. We just got to the iceberg hitting the ship when he had to go to work.

But that's good, cause everything turns depressing from there on.

"I'll never let go, Jack." *lets go of hand and watched him sink. woops.* guessing spiritually not physically. poor jack.

Sad day for Jack.

Song of the day:



Clip of the day: 


yes, it's crappy but Second Sister told him to look it up on youtube, so I did.

love how the crowd goes wild when the actual psy comes out.


Long day tomorrow so I'm out. Get to go to some community festival just down the street for a few hours., Love my job.

oppan gangnam style

Should I be scared that someone got to my blog by doing a web search for "woman who don't swallow captions".

I think I should.

So tomorrow.

Well, technically later today as it is officially after midnight.

The little boy that used to steal my headbands put them on and call himself Tylah gets married tomorrow.

Which means we're officially getting old.

He's got the gray hair in his beard to prove it.

Which amuses me greatly.

It's been interesting to observe this relationship. Tweet was always a bit on the wild side - but in a good way - and she's very mature so now he's all grown up and stuff.

It's cute, they're cute.

But the problem with hanging out with a bunch of engaged people is that people ask when you're going to get engaged.

And his mother already told me that we're having three kids, as are his sister and brother. Cause she wants lots of grandkids.

Hysterical cause I told that to Juwanna tonight and she was like, "ha! you?! does she know you?!"

Me and needles aren't such great friends.

Even watching a birthing video made me run to the bathroom.

And had Juwanna running after me to make sure I was okay.

Someone brought that up at the class reunion and her response was, "that's why I don't know anything about babies, I ran after you!"

Was fun to see everybody tonight. Big shoutout to Tammi and the awesomeness that is her crew. Very impressive decorating job for only 12 hours. That building is gigantic, I remember that from when Second Sister had her reception there.

Having a lot of flashbacks, especially when on the phone with Smo while at the reception hall. Cause she went to that reception as well. That was a lot of fun. I love receptions. Good food, fun times with friends, our family is filled with dancers so they're always amusing to see out on the dance floor. Somehow we always end up in a giant circle with people going through the middle showing off their moves.

And then there's a lot of SNL Spartan Cheerleader dancing, which I blame on my cousins. They're the ones that performed it at a family reunion and then at the reception of yet another cousin's wedding.

We have a lot of us, there are 20 of us.

And only, oh geez, like 8 of us left that aren't married I think...I think.

But we're all approaching that age - with the exception of Kyle who just got his driver's license. So there will probably be a whole bunch of them within the next decade.

Apparently I'm all about weddings today.

But it's better than talking about the obnoxious dude that made me help him with computer stuff for all three of his sessions and just redo everything we did yesterday. Blah, whatever it's done. And I'm off tomorrow so if he goes in and requests me yet again he'll just have to figure it out himself.

We have plenty of great reference/computer people. I don't know why he keeps seeking me out, I already have enough stalkers, I don't need any more.

Alright, off the music and then I'm gonna crash cause fun day tomorrow. Golfing with G-Wigger and Obi-Wan. Should be fun in the morning, then the game is at 11, after that is the wedding and reception.

Tonight was just good, you know? Made up for all the crap I got stuck with today. And the boyfriend is wonderful to put up with all this wedding and kids talk. Actually he said he would be content with all of it so I was pleased. And he gave me his jacket which was another flashback cause in high school he had this bright orange sweatshirt that I'm pretty sure I wore for like a month straight.

Okay, really music now.

So, unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months you've probably already watched this but I'm going to post it anyway. It actually just exploded, I can't believe it's only been online for like 2 months and there are already over 172 billion views. Madness
