I have tomorrow off! Dude! The whole day! From both places! That never happens! Except when I have class...and I don't have class!! So guess how I'm gonna spend my day off?!?! Doing homework! For class!
Well, that's the plan at least. I'll probably throw in a marathon of SVU as well. I mean, you can only read about leadership and draw blueprints of libraries for so long before your head explodes.
Today was good. Got to sleep in this morning.
I actually got to talk to Second Sister today. Which is shocking as I haven't talked to her in like a month. This is usually because I'm always working or she's always working. And she'll leave a message and I won't get it until she's sleeping. And it's best not to wake up a pregnant woman. That I've learned.
She's as busy as ever, but at least she's not changing her child's name.
Me: "Why are you changing the baby's name?"
SS: "Because I'm pregnant and bored!"
but that was 1 kid ago. I'm proud to say I'm the first person to know about the last two kids - other than her husband of course. But me finding out this last one was mostly a fluke.
*I get in the car*
SS: "Are you wearing perfume?"
Me: "Are you pregnant?"
*looks away*
yep. two seconds. i rock.
But I never know what they're having. They keep that a secret. Maybe it'll be a boy and make the numbers even that way there's less pressure for me. Cause that ain't happening any time soon. There are currently 4 girls and 3 boys for grandkids. Maybe I should root for a boy. Hmm...
Talking to her was pretty much the highlight of the day, as it hasn't happened in forever. Also talked to Mom today, which has been a rarity lately as well, but they're harvesting so that's a valid excuse. Is that how you spell that? I haven't used it in a while. Rarity. Another word I don't use as often, "nab" which Glee-Loving Boss said the other day. I paused. It's a good word but no one uses it anymore. We should bring it back. The Nab taskforce. I'm all about taskforces. Maybe I should make nab stand for something to make it more effective. National Antidisestablishmentarianism Bonanza. I have no idea what it means but I can say it and that's all that matters.
After that it was just missing my adopted sister at the library. Dang lunch breaks always have bad timing. Oh well, I'll see her around, now that she actually is around.
I love my job, especially my coworkers. Of course today my Glee-Loving Boss was teasing me some more about flu shots, saying he and Joe Studley would each hold me down so I could get the shot.
It's on man, I gotta figure out something to get him back for yesterday's flyer.
Midwest Music for the night you get Texas and North Dakota. There, I've gotten the whole line of us. I think. Yeah. I did. Which means tomorrow is a free for all. Meaning I'll try to throw in something that's not Texas.
"Ohio (Come Back to Texas)" Bowling For Soup
willie nelson wants you back...
and jumping up a bit
"The Fargo Song" Jewel
she writes a song about pretty much every city she visits, you can find them on youtube.
here's another. i think i like this one better.
"The Kansas City Song" Jewel
"the paris of the plains"
And just because it was stuck in my head today:
"You Never Can Tell" Chuck Berry
aka the dance scene from Pulp Fiction
though i'm still singing all my ex's live in texas...

I'm the butler, I like to keep the kitchen tidy.
I love that someone typed "exploded babysitter" into google and got to my blog. That's fantastic. Also amusing, another person's search for "O Lord of Light" ended up with 2G's version. Hope we didn't scar them for life.
Wore my 2G shirt to work today. Well, tonight anyway. I usually wear jeans and a nice shirt if I'm headed to the main branch since I'm like a professional there. Or para-professional. Their words not mine. This is why I love camp. Got back to my roots and wore t-shirts and sport shorts the whole time. That's the actual me. I used to wear tear-aways, t-shirts and a backwards hat every day to school for years. This whole jeans and a nice shirt thing is like prom to me. Every day. Which is why it's nice to throw in a superhero shirt or funny reference one every once in a while when I'm just an Aide.
Besides, I've learned not to wear those shirts at the other branch. If they're going to stare at my chest I would rather them do it in silence and get it over with instead of staring and overwhelming me with conversation about the symbol emblazoned across my chest. That's just awkward.
Staff meeting this morning where my Koha Whisperer thing was made known. Now I'm just nervous they're going to ask me actual questions. Go to someone smart. I'm just a cronie. After that it was covering at the other branch while they had their staff meeting. Okay, I'm calling favorite cause at which branch does she bring pizza to a staff meeting? Yeah. But I got two pieces. Cause it's my branch too. And it was my lunch hour. And that branch is obsessed with all things bread. I blame Space Cadet. Her baking skills got us hooked. They're constantly finding recipes in books and trying to bribe her into making them. It's amusing. She says she'll slip me a few easy recipes that I won't burn down my apartment with. That should be interesting.
After all that fun it was lunch hour - yes a whole hour! that I didn't have to spend finding parking! - so I ran back to the apartment and watched Bonekickers - "like graveyard jenga down here" c'mon you knew that was coming - then went back for three hours and shelved in my bright orange shirt. Joe Studley said I needed to turn it down. It's that bright. I'm proud. Then dinner with Second Sister, got my leftovers in the fridge! I'm stoked for chicken tikka and rice at 3AM. Yes, small children sleep more than I do, get over it.
Then we hit up Barnes and Noble which...okay I used to make fun of it because it was a big bookstore and then they started selling all this other crap and I was like, "get that out of my bookstore!" Now I work at a library, so they can sell whatever they want. Anyway, so I go in, and okay, remember how I'm a nerd. And I got a raise. So what does a nerd do when they get a raise? They buy a wand. That lights up. And is awesome.
Yes a raise. It's interesting in these budget times but I'll take it. Another fun work thing - got my year evaluation! Which is amusing cause I still haven't gotten my 6 month one yet. Again, I'll take it. As long as he doesn't say that I suck. Which, I don't think I do. People are generally glad when I'm there. But I'm a nerd and make them laugh so maybe that's part of it.
Anyway, right, so in between the chicken tikka and the wand-buying was the driving from place to place and I pulled out of the parking lot following her and she's driving and suddenly pulls in the parking lot and starts waving all frantic and flailing. "Why are you following me?!" She was lost. And technically I live like less than a few miles from the place so I guess it would make more sense if I were to lead. So, I led, and got us on the right road and I'm calling Oldest Sister to see if she can meet us and I see Second Sister pass me in the lane next to me. I was like, "What?! She's in the wrong lane!" like chanting it, "She's in the wrong lane, she's in the wrong lane" all while being on the phone with Second Sister when we pull up to the stoplight and she turns...which makes me realize that it was me in the wrong lane. It's another one of those zombie moments, you know when you're driving on a road you take often but to a different destination and you're just used to driving to that place. Anyway, she turned but I was able to switch lanes and turn behind her. Meanwhile Oldest Sister was probably making fun of me the whole time.
OH! BTW - she has threatened to come to my apartment and steal a piece out of all my puzzles. That's just mean. I don't need any help from you to not finish the thing.
"Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?!"
"You don't need any help from me sir."
"That's right!"
name that movie. if you were at camp you'd be all over it.
I blamed my poor sense of direction on being on the phone. "I can only remain sane when not involved in actual conversation." quote of the day. true story.
It was a Lily Allen kind of day. Yes, I've posted a lot of hers since she's my favorite, here are a few new ones.
"The Fear" Live version at The Sound on BBC 2
"Smile" official video
awful. love 2:21. was she eating candy with the wrapper still on it? i totally have those headphones.
these are both two of her biggest hits, yes she's british but she's awesome. we like british people, they're cool and have fun accents.
"But he was your second husband. Your first husband also disappeared."
"But that was his job. He was an illusionist."
"But he never reappeared!"
"He wasn't a very good illusionist."
OUT!

Sushi for lunch + Fajitas/Margaritas for Supper = Best Food Day Ever
Today was mass craziness/awesomeness.
9-11 as an LA2 plus 11-12 as an Aide, then sushi with Second Sister and her kiddos - I have so many freaking leftovers it's insane - then stopped by work ON MY DAY OFF CAUSE I'M CRAZY! to do some Food Drive stuff. It actually worked out well because I got to get skit material. Now I can have the inspiration that I keep putting off. After that it was cleaning my apartment - couch included, then jalapeno margaritas!! with the cousins, then they came and hung out for a while and now I'm off to bed.
Sushi was fun, we ordered far too much but that's usual. Gotta love those leftovers. They're best at 2AM. We also hit up the candyshop as well. Little KJ was excited about his gummy spiders and BekBek had her Hello Kitty marshmallow thing so they were all over it.
Cleaning was an expedition. Seriously. I want the place clean so when I come back from camp it won't be nightmare-esque. But I was vacuuming and I'm like I should vacuum the couch. And yeah, don't think anyone has ever done that to this couch before. And I got it from Grams house and yeah. Found some interesting stuff. Lots of pens and spare change and all that, also some post-its, a magnetic O - Grams had this magnet board thing with all the letters that you could spell stuff out with - and then some sort of knitting thing that actually belonged to my cousin who I saw tonight! So that worked out well. She lived with Grams after I lived with her and I knew it wasn't mine so... yeah. But now it's clean! As is my apartment. For now. We'll see how long that lasts with my cat.
I love my family. Seriously. They're fantastic. We hit up our favorite mexican place and got some jalapeno margaritas for the table! minus those under 21, talked about lots of movie/tv stuff and all that and tomorrow!! we're gonna go see Harry Potter 7B in 3D! Huzzah! Cause I love it. And the Cool Aunt and Justooooone haven't seen it yet. So that's tomorrow. and Justooooone has a cape. That they bought. So we'll see if he's gonna be brave enough to wear it.
And yeah, they came over for a while and we watched a bunch of youtube clips while they played with my big fat cat. Harry Potter Musical clips on youtube are awesome. Darren Criss as Harry Potter is amusing.
But I'm gonna work in the morning, we're gonna meet up after that and go see Grams then watch Harry Potter 7A and then go see Harry Potter 7B in 3D. sorry, that's funny to me. I love it! "I've always to use that spell!"
song for the night then I'm out:
The video seems more like someone's drug-addled visions put on tape. But whatever.
This song was one of the first songs I ever uploaded onto iTunes. However, I didn't know the title. It was filed under SONG THAT IS ALWAYS STUCK IN MY HEAD. I'm pretty sure it would have stayed filed that way until Arizona senior year when I finally got tired of not knowing the title and had to google the lyrics. We were down there for a basketball tournament - btw, there is such a town as Corn On The Cob, Arizona. We gave Smo crap for it. We were driving to their high school and suddenly she was like "Did that sign say Corn On The Cob 6 Miles?!" We were like you're imagining things. Are you on something? Who would name a town Corn on the Cob? Seriously? And yeah, on the way back we saw the sign and had to take pictures under it. Corn On The Cob, Arizona. I don't remember where I was going with this. Oh, right, iTunes. Yeah, had to google it cause it was driving me nuts. But we're good now.

You're everything that everybody warned about...
How to describe the past 60 hours. Wait, how long ago was 3PM Thursday? I'm bad at math. I think it's around 60. Or maybe not, I'm too tired to count. Okay, how to describe approximately the past 60 hours...
I met a guy. I thought he was sane. We went out. And it turns out he's not. Actually he is. I think. Maybe it's me that's crazy. But since when does playing darts at a bar suddenly put you in a serious relationship? I'm still totally lost. I met him at 3. He asked me out at 4. My coworkers said don't do it, he's bad news bears at 5. We met up at 6. He started referring to himself as my boyfriend at like 9. Seriously?
We hung out and all that then he calls me like all day Friday even though I was at work so I couldn't answer and totally freaked out on me when I spent my night doing homework instead of seeing him again. But it was due at midnight! So then he wanted to hang out today but I already had plans aka class and going to the farm. Then stuff happened with him so he called me like 30 times before 10AM. I'm just still totally confused. Anyway, everyone I've talked to says to run for the hills and don't be nice about it. Which is really hard for me because I'm kind of a nice person. Well, not according to the BFF, she knows the real cynical and sarcastic me. But anyway, he's a nice guy and just because he has a past doesn't mean that it's going to like...I don't know where I'm going with this.
Anyway, the point is I'm single again. Or trying to be. But I don't think it's working. Cause I'm ending it over the phone. (I've known him like 60 hours, am I actually required to do this live? I was never good at that either.) The second sister won't let me see him anymore. I'm actually kind of fond of her "Intercom Breakup" theory. Like if he mysteriously shows up at your door you just do it over the intercom instead of letting him in. I think it could soon be all the rage - like the next major breakup trend.
Back to the whole phone thing, yeah, all we do is argue. He questions me about everything I say. We have nothing in common. We're kinda polar opposites actually. Scratch that, we are polar opposites and my family wouldn't approve. So no, my mother doesn't know, and no you can't tell her.
So I told him that all we do is argue and we don't have anything in common and my family wouldn't approve and that all these things are important to me so we couldn't work because we weren't working and yeah, guess what. We argued. More. So I hung up cause I was tired of it. He called 8 times before I could turn my phone off.
Apparently I'm it for him and he's like ready to settle down and ugh he said all this cheesy crap about how he was waiting for the right person and that all the waiting was worth it because he met me or something like that. It made me want to vomit. Literally. He makes me sick. Maybe I should tell him that next time he calls. But no, all the stress and frustration is literally making me sick. And giving my friends/family/coworkers anxiety. Monday is gonna be fun. Because I met him at work. And he knows I'll be there. Ugh. Guard!
And no, I'm not forgetting about the religious fortune teller's prediction about me finding my mate in the next few weeks - and neither are my coworkers. I'm taking a lot of crap for this. Taking a step back it is kind of amusing. Cabin Fever is going back to the "tell him you worship snakes" theory mentioned here My Life in Closed Captions: The girl with the captivating eyes + sick day + fi... Which basically scares away telemarketers, religious fanatics and creepy looking stalkers. I'm hoping.
Irony about reposting that link is that I've had quotes from Gilmore Girls floating around in my head since I met him and also that was about my first class and today was my last class. Which was good by the way. Kinda sad actually, I was just starting to get to know those people. And I was very TA today which was funny. The Prof had to kind of leave early so I helped out with evaluations and all that. I'll post the Goddess-isms tomorrow when I have my notebook.
"Like stop eating the paste kind of special?" The Gilmore Girls thing lately was about Paris going on a date. I actually love Paris's character. Now. In the beginning she was kind of a B word. I'm starting to censor myself again as camp is coming up soon, not to mention I work in a library filled with children. Anyway, she goes on this date with this guy named Jamie and people are like shocked. Which is kind of like me. Cause I don't really have time to date anymore. Cause I'm a workaholic. I love my work and I love my job and I love my coworkers. Plus camp is coming up, plus we're having play practice all the time, plus there's been family stuff, plus plus plus...blah. Anyway, I don't really date. Not that I've really dated dated since like college. And I don't think that counted. Which is more of a long story. What was I talking about? PARIS! Right, anyway, sorry it's past midnight I get rambly. Shutup Amber, I know you're thinking she's like this no matter the time.
Anyway, Paris has this line -
"I can instantly deduce that when someone hears the name 'Paris' in the same sentence with the word 'date,' jaws will drop, confused looks will cover faces, words like 'how' and 'why' and 'Quick, Bob, get the children in the minivan because the world is obviously coming to an end.' will immediately fly out of people's mouths."
Very similar to me. And it's just so nice because it ties back to the whole fortune teller thing with the end of the world. But that's just one of my many favorite quotes from that episode.
Now I'm feeling more like:
Paris: What if I fall for him but he doesn't like me?
Rory: You'll find someone else.
Paris: What if there is no one else?
Rory: Then you'll get some cats.
But I'm not falling. I've found it's physically impossible to fall for someone when you're still hung up on your ex.
Song for the past few days:
Lily Allen's "Knock 'em Out" one of my favorites, although all of hers are fantastic.
"Try desperately to think of the politest way to say - uhhhh..."
Another fun quote from that episode -
Paris: Get in the closet.
Rory: What? You're crazy.
Paris: If there's no one to compare me to, I might have a fighting chance.
Rory: When we get home, get a new therapist because the one you have isn't working.
Okay, that was a lot. But I have been gone for a while. Tomorrow means long day, but it'll be relaxing. So I guess it's not really long. Why do people say long day when every day is the same length? I'm gonna go to sleep now before I turn even more philosophical over cliches. That happens a lot when I'm half asleep. Also, words like "fork" "spoon" and "Doug" seem a lot funnier past 2AM.
I'm gonna go now. More tomorrow. Or later today. Yeah. Out.

It made me want to vomit. Literally. He makes me sick. Maybe I should tell him that next time he calls. But no, all the stress and frustration is literally making me sick. And giving my friends/family/coworkers anxiety. Monday is gonna be fun. Because I met him at work. And he knows I'll be there. Ugh. Guard!
And no, I'm not forgetting about the religious fortune teller's prediction about me finding my mate in the next few weeks - and neither are my coworkers. I'm taking a lot of crap for this. Taking a step back it is kind of amusing. Cabin Fever is going back to the "tell him you worship snakes" theory mentioned here My Life in Closed Captions: The girl with the captivating eyes + sick day + fi... Which basically scares away telemarketers, religious fanatics and creepy looking stalkers. I'm hoping.
Irony about reposting that link is that I've had quotes from Gilmore Girls floating around in my head since I met him and also that was about my first class and today was my last class. Which was good by the way. Kinda sad actually, I was just starting to get to know those people. And I was very TA today which was funny. The Prof had to kind of leave early so I helped out with evaluations and all that. I'll post the Goddess-isms tomorrow when I have my notebook.
"Like stop eating the paste kind of special?" The Gilmore Girls thing lately was about Paris going on a date. I actually love Paris's character. Now. In the beginning she was kind of a B word. I'm starting to censor myself again as camp is coming up soon, not to mention I work in a library filled with children. Anyway, she goes on this date with this guy named Jamie and people are like shocked. Which is kind of like me. Cause I don't really have time to date anymore. Cause I'm a workaholic. I love my work and I love my job and I love my coworkers. Plus camp is coming up, plus we're having play practice all the time, plus there's been family stuff, plus plus plus...blah. Anyway, I don't really date. Not that I've really dated dated since like college. And I don't think that counted. Which is more of a long story. What was I talking about? PARIS! Right, anyway, sorry it's past midnight I get rambly. Shutup Amber, I know you're thinking she's like this no matter the time.
Anyway, Paris has this line -
"I can instantly deduce that when someone hears the name 'Paris' in the same sentence with the word 'date,' jaws will drop, confused looks will cover faces, words like 'how' and 'why' and 'Quick, Bob, get the children in the minivan because the world is obviously coming to an end.' will immediately fly out of people's mouths."
Very similar to me. And it's just so nice because it ties back to the whole fortune teller thing with the end of the world. But that's just one of my many favorite quotes from that episode.
Now I'm feeling more like:
Paris: What if I fall for him but he doesn't like me?
Rory: You'll find someone else.
Paris: What if there is no one else?
Rory: Then you'll get some cats.
But I'm not falling. I've found it's physically impossible to fall for someone when you're still hung up on your ex.
Song for the past few days:
Lily Allen's "Knock 'em Out" one of my favorites, although all of hers are fantastic.
"Try desperately to think of the politest way to say - uhhhh..."
Another fun quote from that episode -
Paris: Get in the closet.
Rory: What? You're crazy.
Paris: If there's no one to compare me to, I might have a fighting chance.
Rory: When we get home, get a new therapist because the one you have isn't working.
Okay, that was a lot. But I have been gone for a while. Tomorrow means long day, but it'll be relaxing. So I guess it's not really long. Why do people say long day when every day is the same length? I'm gonna go to sleep now before I turn even more philosophical over cliches. That happens a lot when I'm half asleep. Also, words like "fork" "spoon" and "Doug" seem a lot funnier past 2AM.
I'm gonna go now. More tomorrow. Or later today. Yeah. Out.
