Jumping...thats what my brain does

One minute I'm daydreaming about summer, the next searching for blogs written by American Soldiers or trying to find a cool song I heard on a commercial. Don't bother to ask me what I'm thinking because I could probably give you 10 answers and you'll most likely be bored. I probably only concentrate when I need to.

Unattractive: Walking down the street watching a guy grope and fondle a girl's gluteus maximus. Not so cute. This wasn't like he was playfully resting his hand there, it looked like he was either scratching an itch for her or trying to shove his finger somewhere. Yah.

Nothing amusing has happened to me lately. Unless hitting your brand new car into a bunch of "decorative" logs in your parents' front yard or slaming into someone's rear end because you forgot to put your car in reverse is funny... I didn't really get angry about either one, but now the new Jetta feels a lot like the old one and I feel better about it. Maybe it's karma.

Bryan and I are moving into an efficiency type apartment next weekend. We're both really excited. Luckily, there is a seperate room big enough for my bed, so it won't be like we're eating, sleeping, lounging, and gaming in the same room. Yay. I need to purge my things and go into organization mode. I may have freaked Bryan out a little when I tried to explain that I'd LOVE if he brought his ENTIRE movie collection over to our new place, but that I'd really like it if they weren't exposed... I'm sure he understood that real well. I like stuff, I just don't like stuff in every nook and crevice. We'll be living in a teenie tinie place. I like -ie rather than -y.

Failed

Such a negative word, but true in this instance. I should have known better. I've already missed a few episodes of American Idol and can't stop shaking my head about the contestant who was supposedly a stripper in the past. I should have known American Idol, like so many other interests of mine would fall to the way side, so to speak.

I started my new job last Monday. So far, the woman training me has either been on vacation or at school. Basically, I've been reading a lot or idling hours away on the interwebs. Yesterday I learned a little about the databases I'll be using and that was kind of cool. The process doesn't seem as convoluting or irritating as the last invoicing position. So far I haven't wanted to bang my head against a wall. This, is a positive sign.

I swear...

this guy on American Idol looks freakishly like Justin Timberlake.

Dreaming of the lottery

Paying bills always depresses me and snaps me back to reality. On a better note, I start a new and promising job on Feb. 25 in Baltimore. I'm pretty excited about it because I had to pass a background check to make it. I guess there are no major ghosts in my past.

I watched this show today on A&E about flipping houses. It's such a risky business but I think if you weren't totally money hungry it'd be great. But, people just want more and more so end up making poor investments. It's frustrating to watch. I wish I had the capital to start a venture of some kind. I'd love to do something for myself, by myself. It'd be gratifying and fulfilling. Until then, I stick to the 9 to 5.

I have to constantly remind myself that I'm making moves or I become depressed and stuck. I know it's going to take a few years, but I'm going to make sacrifices and get out of the hole. Definitely.

Moving on.....

Since the writer's strike I stopped watching Grey's and Ugly Betty. So basically, I stopped watching television. Now, I don't even know if I missed new episodes or not. Then, the American Idol auditions came back on and I watched them. This year I may actually try to keep up with it instead of flipping the channel once the hilarious although degrading auditions are over. Some of the contestants are interesting and I want to see what America thinks. It'll be a sort of social experiment for me. See if I can predict who America will be most like to vote for based on media influence and common bias. I don't mean bias in just a negative way either. Towards the end I hope to form my own opinion on whether or not American Idol is based on talent or not. Hopefully talent.

Elladesya

The name of my WOW character is Elladesya and she is a Draenei Mage. Yayah. Or something. I can't believe I started playing this game and I hardly know anything about it, but Quests are fun! I guess it was only a matter of time considering I have a favorite game on Nintendo DS, Wii, PSP, PS2 and Xbox 360. What has become of me?!?

In other news, the fridge in the house is busted and that means a lot of expensive eating out. I just went grocery shopping before it broke, too. Joy and joyness. (I obviously enjoy making up words). Today I'm being cheap and eating Ramen for lunch and probably dinner.

I just wanna dance with my shirt off!

Why have I ignored the bliss of giving my ears and mind the best gift of all for so long?! Music, how it treats my soul. I remembered that after the first 3 seconds of playing a song be this band. Back when I lived alone if I wasn't watching a movie I had music blaring from the weak speaker on my laptop. Now, I have headphones on to drown out the noises of my coworkers talking about a cheating subcontractor in Tunisia. Sometimes I can't stand being in cubicles. There are offices in here...go there to talk.

Anyway, music always helped me through all kinds of things. I can't believe I have gone so long without buying new music or downloading MP3s. I need to fix my laptop and get back on the music train.

I miss having a random schedule because it just felt like I had more time even though I probably had less. Now, I am on such a set schedule I feel so drained! Get up a quarter to 8, drive to work, sit at work, get home half after 6 or so, make dinner, clean up, sit and watch a movie or play a video game, shower, bed (sex if I'm lucky/not tired!). Yeah, not much time for music listening in there. I need to charge my iPod and update the music on it....

I haven't updated lately because I've been busy with Desktop Tower Defense! No really, I've actually been pretty busy at work. Lots of advisors moving, new subcontractors to train. Also, I interviewed and have a new job lined up! Pending a background investigation, and as long as they don't discover my obsession with Nerds Candy, I should be cool. Once the actual background check is complete I'm thinking about telling my current job in the hopes that being honest will pay off in the end. Besides, they can hire someone new and give me plenty of time to train them. Ideally. I have quickly learned that professional contracting is rarely "ideal". It's chaotic and unpredictable at best.

The holidays are upon us and that generally puts me in a better mood. As in, I smile at the tree and then grimace at my laundry or cat or dirty dishes...whatever is the plague. I downloaded Wham!'s "Last Christmas" on my phone for a new ringtone. The song doesn't apply to me in the least because I'm Oh So Fortunate to be in love this holiday season, but maybe I just like George Michaels!
