We Can Keep Sleeping Together Though, Right?
Guy #1: Okay, so this news I have to tell you...
Guy #2: Yeah...
Guy #1: You're the first one I'm telling, so don't mention this to anyone yet -- I wanna be the one to break the news to everyone. It's big. And I don't want this to change anything between us or the guys -- I'm still the same James*. But it just feels right... I feel like it's time.
Guy #2, looking very uncomfortable: Uh, dude...
Guy #1: I know, you're gonna tell me I'm crazy. But I've actually been thinking about it for a long time [pulls velvet box out of jacket and opens it to reveal huge diamond ring].
Guy #2: Whoa, bro...
Guy #1: Dude... I'm gonna ask Danielle to marry me.
Guy #2: Oh, Jesus. Dude, that's awesome -- that's really great! Wonderful! I'm so happy for you!
Guy #1, accepting huge hug from guy #2: Wow, dude, you're really happy about this.
Guy #2: Bro, you have no idea what I thought you were gonna say.

Explains the Outcome of Their Last Gubernatorial Election
Student: I think social deviance is relative.
Professor: That's a good theory. Explain it.
Student: Well, if you're a New Yorker and a stranger goes up to you and says hi, you'd be like, 'Why the hell are you talking to me?' But if you're from California, you'd be like, 'Oh, hey, this stranger is saying hi to me!'
Professor: That's because everyone in California is perpetually on crack.

Overheard in New York...duh...where else would I get something that amusing...

well I was sitting, waiting, wishing you believed in superstitions then maybe you'd see the signs

What an adorable, and amusing, little girl!! Again...one of those amusing things from Overheard in New York. Oh, yeah...there are four more one-liners, too.

Ugh...it's so dark and dreary...it's a depressing day! Today, I have to go pay for my ticket...cuz I don't really think that I'll have time to do it tomorrow. ::sigh:: I really don't want to go pay that. It's not fair that I even got it. Oh, well...

Oh! I think that my baby brother is feeling a little better because he went to school this morning. Plus, by the time that I'd finished typing the post from early this morning and posted it, he was asleep. Poor kid.

I may have made it rain please forgive me my weakness caused you pain and this song's my sorry

Aww...my poor baby brother... I came on here to check my email, but decided to do this as well after hearing the pathetic sounding kid. His throat hurts...really badly. He's still awake (bedtime is 10:30p) and whimpering. He said something about "the pain won't go away." Poor kid. I'm pretty sure that he just has a bug of some sort, because I know he hasn't done anything to hurt himself. Plus, I think it's not as bad as he feels right now since I'm pretty sure that he's overtired and that always makes matters worse.

And...right now...I'm really confused as to whether or not I'm still getting married. I gave him the rings (engagement and promise) back...and he did put them back onto my fingers...but... I don't know, I just worry that my impulsive nature when we fight has made him less wanting to marry me. Yes, he told me not to worry...but I still am... Especially since this time I actually told someone very soon after giving back the rings that I wasn't getting married anymore. The other two (maybe three) times that I gave back the rings I didn't tell anyone that I'd done that. But the thing is...it was an impulsive decision (that I regretted immediately) to do that...and I want us to be able to work things out and eventually get married. I realize that we're pretty young to be making such a huge decision...but there are so many things that we both have similar views on and we're aware of the fact that marriage isn't some fairy tale ending where the bride and groom live happily ever after. Plus...we love each other and we want to make our marriage work... So...in order for us to do that...we have to fix what's wrong in our relationship... ::sigh:: We just aren't sure of how to go about that... We're pretty sure that our problems are a result of an underlying problem (communication)...we just aren't 100% sure of how to go about resolving that dilemma...

well I'm waiting here to take a fall and everything, everything's my fault

Grr...I'm grouchy and frustrated...mostly frustrated though... ::sigh:: Seriously, I think I was thinking about something all day long...and then when it came time for it to happen...nothing. It was like there was an on/off switch and suddenly the switch was flipped to 'off.' Yeah...it wasn't cool... And another thing frustrating me is that this certain someone always gets this whiny sounding voice when he believes the thing bothering me is his fault. Cuz y'know everything is his fault. Puh-leze. It just annoys me to no end when he gets like that. ::sigh:: Don't get me wrong, on occasion it is his fault...but the majority of the time it's not his fault and no matter what I say to him, he doesn't believe me. Of course, spilling my guts (in a slightly censored way) to the anonymity and vastness that is the internet isn't exactly the greatest response to the stressor. ::sigh::

Oh! and since the boy is always too tired for my liking...I've decided that we can't see one another after 11:00p anymore. Even on Saturdays because he has a morning class, so he's still tired on Saturday evenings. I'm sick of always feeling frustrated with him because I feel like I can't hold his attention for more than a few minutes. So...that could mean no seeing him on Tuesdays, Thursdays and possibly Wednesdays due to our respective school schedules. And just what I want...avoidance of him for nearly half the week... That's just going to result in a guy with one thing on his mind when he does finally see me. Not a good situation for either one of us...because eventually one is (or both are) going to feel lousy in the relationship... ::sigh::


**disclaimer: I am well aware of the fact that there are times that he doesn't get a whiny sounding tone...I was just frustrated and in need of some venting**

and with a broken wing she still sings she keeps an eye on the sky

I don't wanna do my homework...who wants to do it for me?

Meh...on a brighter note...I'm totally getting these cute boots!! Well...I will be after I order them anyway. I don't know for sure, but I may be watching the girls until 7:30p today. Yesterday when watching them I managed to break a storage container. But since I wasn't going to see their mom before I had to leave, I left a note for her. So...I don't know if she wants me to replace it or not yet. It's no big deal if I have to replace it, it's just the Gladware stuff (eh, maybe it's Ziploc...I don't know).

Yesterday...I pretty much spent all day with little children. And with the little boy...he wanted to play sword fight...and he was continuously chopping my legs off at the knees. But y'know...he was invincible cuz he was made of worms and they would regrow his chopped off body parts...so, naturally, he won the sword fight.

Anyway...I'm going to go work on my homework...nobody's offered to do it for me...so I must do it on my own... Oh! the sorrow...

I still don’t have the reason and you don’t have the time and it really makes me wonder if I ever gave a f*** about you

I just want to say this first: I am not picking on anyone. Having said that...I totally agree with what this article says. Some people are just too picky and it completely kills their chances of finding someone to have fun with, let alone fall in love with.

Hooray!!! Now there is a possible reason as to why I heart chocolate...



::sigh:: In a totally unrelated note...I hate sleepiness!!

[originally posted on my MySpace blog]

'cause I'm zero to sixty in three point five baby you got the keys shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive

My head hurts...and it won't go away...it's highly annoying...

But anyway...my mommy and I went to Office Depot and got more printer ink this afternoon...so I was able to get nearly everything printed for my classes that I needed to. The only things not printed are the two assignments that I haven't finished yet...so duh, I print those yet. I just have to color in a few of the images on my ideal self booklet before I put it together and turn it in...I decided to color stuff in because I didn't like the preset colors on some of the clipart so I used the b&w images instead. And I made some crap up for my genogram...because instead of normal things (like deceased, married, single, etc.) my teacher wanted us to put in who is happy, is successful, has financial problems, has trouble with the law...seriously, the woman is a fruit loop!!

::sigh:: Friday was my birthday...and some poopyheaded cop gave me a speeding ticket...in my driveway! I couldn't handle one more stressor that day...so it made me cry a bunch. Even though I wasn't really all that upset at getting a ticket. It was just the fact that I'm already stressed out excessively...and my head hurt so badly that it was a wonder that I wasn't already in tears from that...it was all just too much for me to handle at the time.

Okay...I have a (approximately) 1/4" stack of paper from the printer to sort out and put into the correct folders...so...ciao darling!!

it's my party and I'll cry if I want to cry if I want to cry if I want to you would cry too if it happened to you

So...hooray for not having the best birthday ever...

I have my least favorite class to go to Friday mornings...I always seem to do a good job of scheduling my least favorite class for the day that my birthday falls on. While I was babysitting two little girls, my head started to hurt...hooray for migraines... Then on my way home from there...I got a speeding ticket...the best part of getting a ticket was that I was already in my driveway when he "pulled" me over. Oh, and the way that the cop parked the car behind me, he pretty much had the only way onto and off of my street blocked off...only motorcycles could squeeze through. Plus...I apparently have an attitude problem...don't know what I did to get yelled at for that.

Seeing how I already had a migraine and I'm already stressed out majorly lately...just adding one more stress to the list caused me to start crying by the time that I got in the house...

singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

Wednesday One-Liners Have Rum in Their Sippy Cups
Excited 50-ish dad to toddler: Come over here, Jameson! Hey, Jameson, we're going to go get some beer! C'mon!
--Times Square

Overheard in New York...there were three more one-liners...but this one amused me the most.

Somehow...naming your kid after an Irish whiskey and then excitedly telling him that it's time to get beer...just seems totally wrong...

the remedy is the experience, this is a dangerous liaison I says the comedy is that it's serious

Yay!! No partial government shutdown for MI...just a 0.45% increase in taxes. Also, this guy should probably think before he opens his mouth to his wife #1 again. Not trying to be mean...but...Adam Sandler's daughter really isn't cute.

Blah-di-blah-di-blah...I'm bored and hungry...but we don't have any milk, so I can't have cereal...so now I don't know what to eat. Grrr... I'm too whiny...and I think that I just like to complain. Eh...I should be showering and reading the two chapters for my anthropology class...seeing how I have a test in there on Wednesday. Which reminds me, there's lecture after the test...so I should probably go to Blackboard and print out the slides. Ciao dahling!!
