We're Getting Old! (and a major mindfuck week)

Well...let's start with the good stuff. #1, last night was Aaron's wedding, which turned out to be really awesome. They had it down at McKennan park where they had this really pretty pagoda set up and everything. It was absolutely beautiful, and it also really helped that the weather cooperated. Even though we were afraid at the beginning that it would rain, but it just spit out a couple raindrops and was gone. Turned out to simply be a front moving through, and after it was gone, there wasn't a cloud anywhere. :)

Rachel looked stunning in her bridal gown too! It. Was. AMAZING!

Aaron looked pretty damn good too, but that was probably to be expected too. :P

Then came the reception, which also was pretty damn cool. We ended up sitting with some of Aaron's coworkers, which was somewhat humorous. All of them knew him for a few years at the most, while we were his next door neighbors growing up. Yes, I felt pretty special then. But anyways....food was pretty good too, but I think I was more interested in the fact that the reception was at the Pavilion more than anything else.

Got a few photos of them dancing also, which was sweet. I wish just a little bit that I had spent more time running around taking photos, but Mom grabbed the old one rather than the Kodak camera. The old camera needed some old photos deleted there, and the Kodak one has about 400, 500 photos of free space. But I was tired, and I was all dressed up in my new favorite dress, and I was in heels. I wasn't prepared for the whole running around thing.

But they did suck me into dancing once with Aaron. Which was nice, awesome in fact, and really fun. Howeverrr, I had no clue what I was doing! Gah...but oh well, he didn't mind. :P

#2. Now as for my irked moment of the day. I hate two things: people who purposefully go out of their way to make me look like an ass (even though they fail at it), and those who lie. Especially to me. And of course, Jackass is one of them....basically, he's it, but I guess that's to be expected. Thankfully, talking with Mr. Mead made me feel better. I enjoy talking vengeful torture towards Jackass, it's very soothing. :D

Ah, and before all is done, #3. The sad news: First, there was Ed McMahon. His death was saddening, but it wasn't TOO much of a surprise. The guy was old, and he had been dealing with health problems. But it was still sad. The next day, Farrah Fawcett passed away. Again, this was also difficult, mostly because of the legacy she left us. What I'd do to have her hair....wow.


But again, it was almost expected due to her battle with cancer. She was too young, even if she was 62...

AND then there was Michael Jackson, just 9 hours after Farrah passed away. Now THAT was a surprise. He was only 50, too....even though he was a nutcase, he was still one of the greatest performers out there.

Now today was another mindfuck--BILLY MAYS. Billy Mays of all people died!!! No way. Bad enough I had to hear it from Hadir via Facebook. :P But I saw it, and totally thought WTF! Seriously?! So of course I scramble to CNN to see, and yup. Holy shit. Usually they say that celebrity deaths come in threes. This is either a second round, or this is something much worse...I just hope more don't die, we don't need more of them dying.

#4. While we're covering my various emotions, I'm anxious and excited for the new episode of True Blood, and the rest of the season. Anxious, because the Queen is coming....dammit. And from what I've heard, she's the reason Bill is in Sookie's life, or at least made their meeting intentional. But whatever, Sookie could kiss my ass anyway. The excitement is just because it's a new episode. :P

Hotness: Hollywood Crushes

I'm doomed. Late last night, settling down for a couple hours of reading a book, I had the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien tuned in as usual. Now I wasn't going to pay attention to the show as I haven't seriously read a book as of late; more like I pick up the book (Don't Bargain with the Devil, if you must know) and wind up rereading one that I haven't touched in a few months. SO, I was going to actually read that night!

Pfft. Soooo didn't happen. Why didn't it?

Because when I'm listening to the guests that will appear, I hear Stephen Moyer is one of them. And then cue the silent screaming.


It totally ruined my concentration for the rest of the night. How could I read my silly little book when STEPHEN MOYER was going to be on?!

After the silent screaming, that's when I knew I'd found my new Hollywood crush. I don't know, I guess I hadn't expected this, but gosh....the moment he came out there, with that amazingly hot smile, that unexpected British accent....mmmm....and on top of that, the black hair. I'm a sucker for men with black hair. But throwing all of that together, and WOW.

Fuck Anna Paquin, I'll claim him for myself...

Or I'll take Sam if push comes to shove. Sam Trammell. Mmmmm now that's a hotness that can't be described....however the stubble is a MAJOR plus. :D


And if they don't know how to integrate a new character in just for Sam (me), well I could just stumble into town...I can pull off a pretty cute Papillon, how 'bout that? Yeah, just sleep on it. Sam deserves his happy ending too, you know. ;)

Changes

Nothing changed.

What a choice of words, nothing changed.

How ironic, nothing changed.

It's not like the context that the phrase was used could be saved much, either. Not when "Nothing changed" is preceded by a long ".........". With that, "Nothing changed" can in fact mean a multitude of things: the quotation marks (that have not been used till recently) weren't changed, his feelings for her haven't changed...his feelings for me haven't changed...

Or, the most likely (and most satisfying) conclusion: HE hasn't changed. Which would be a damn shame, after she so conveniently confided in me that she believes he is capable of learning and changing.

Yeah, nothing has changed, hasn't it.

Oh, the irony.

Esta Chovendo

Well it's not a bad rain, it's in fact sort of pretty for the afternoon. But we've had so much rain the past few days....weeks....There's a pattern though. When Jackass is out of the state, there's no rain. So we must make him stay out of the state, then all will be fine! Anyways, it's raining. And it's Father's Day. Nice way to spend Father's Day, huh. It's all right though, we're staying inside, where it's dry and a TV is near with the Nascar race on. At least it is when it's not raining too hard to obscure the satellite connection. Ah well.

So on Friday at Uno Tomato, there was this really nice lady that I recognized from school. We started talking and all, and I told her that I had just graduated from Lincoln. She was actually shocked and said that I looked too young to have graduated already. Awe, how sweet....however, today we went to Kowloon for lunch. The waitress there again had the same shocked expression and also said I looked too young to graduate. Twice I've been told this, and it's only been three days. I don't know whether to be scared or touched, but I usually feel pretty flattered. :)

And look at that, the sun has come out. It's like Mother Nature is going through mood swings or something....I can concur.

When Caffeiene Fails Me

After the past few days, I've started to realize something. I am VERY mellow when it comes to life. I don't seem to rush when I want to go someplace or do something, I'm just really chill about it. Yesterday I could see it, 'cause I never really got down and dirty to play with Logan and Tyler--now that's not all that different to any other time I'm around them, but with Aaron thrown into the mix, I used to join in the tackling when I was little. Definitely not the case now.

Then today, as I said before, my uncle Glen stopped by, with my cousin Brooke and a couple of the grandkids in tow. I was ESPECIALLY glad to see Brooke, as I haven't seen her in forever, but it was nice to see Tory and Peyton too. They were so well behaved and everything!! But of course, they're under 10, so they're bound to get a bit bored as time goes by--and also energized as they got used to me.

Oh boy. All that energy is not for me. I like kids, they're cute, but I can't play forever with them...I could really use a nap right now. But they were very well behaved, even though we couldn't exactly say the same of Junior...but oh well.

*Phew*. Yep, I'm so mellow I could be Mellow Yellow....or a pillow...wow, what a statement that is! Stupid, and it rhymed. Ahhh the creativity that comes out when one is tired...which is why I should really take a nap....

Waiting.

Today might be a good day. Mostly 'cause my uncle is coming to visit, and we NEVER get to see my uncle Glen! But Mom's got this hatred towards Minneapolis, so we never really go up to visit him... :/

Confidence level is up today too, for some reason. However I think I know why this is the case. Yesterday I got to see Aaron, my olddd neighbor Aaron. Who happens to have a wedding at the end of the week. Gah, his fiancee is so sweet, she's awesome! But it had been a while since I had last seen Aaron...so when he was nice enough to say that if I ever have guy trouble or anything, I could call him and he'd kick their ass for me. Which is really touching for me, really. I could use some muscle when it comes to Jackass. Ha, asshole doesn't know what's coming when Aaron's on his front doorstep...but anyways.

There's just not much going on lately. I'm waiting for my birthday so I could have a shot at getting Sims 3, still waiting for Shopko to come back and interview me, have to go to Aaron's wedding, and registration at USD is coming up on the 24th. So much waiting, gah. Like waiting right now for zee relatives to show up....yeahhhh....

And I stocked up on books. Primarily Up in Smoke and Sabrina Jeffries' newest book that is supposed to be out on Tuesday. Not now. Ahh I'm such a rebel... :P

They Don't Teach This in School...

When you love someone...truly love them, friend or lover, you lay your heart open to them. You give them a part of yourself that you give to no one else, and you let them inside a part of you that only they can hurt--you literally hand them the razor with a map of where to cut deepest and most painfully on your heart and soul. And when they do strike, it's crippling--like having your heart carved out. It leaves you naked and exposed, wondering what you did to make them want to hurt you so badly when all you did was love them. What is so wrong with you that no one can keep faith with you? That no one can love you? To have it happen once is bad enough...but to have it repeated? Who in their right mind would not be terrified of that?

Ended up re-reading Devil May Cry last night for a few hours and stumbled across that bit of wisdom. What is so hard about this that idiots like Jackass can't comprehend the pain they can inflict? Seriously...

I have to admit though, it's because of that sort of logic that I love Sherrilyn Kenyon. She's got it figured out, or at least knows how to pretend she does. But her books are awesome, not gonna lie.

For some reason I'm not very talkative today. Don't know if it's me living in my head for too long again, or drama is dragging me down. I just want it to end....

Also, I decided against reading Charlaine Harris's whole Sookie series. APPARENTLY she indulges in the one thing I can't stand: making two characters fall in love, then the relationship end in pieces and they end up elsewhere. Basically, Bill is around for the first 3 books. Forget it, I want him in EVERY one of those 9 books and upcoming ones, not in the first three. And on top of that, another guy shows up in the more recent books by the name of Quinn. Gayyyyyy, I spell my names Qhuinn. Now THAT is one hot name.....damn hot character too... ;)

However that doesn't deter me from Katie MacAlister. Similar writing style, but at least I know that Gabriel will be around at the end of the series, whenever that will be. And if I want more vampires like Bill....well, then I'll turn to Zeke and leave it at that.

Only other thing of entertainment recently is this new blog I came across, thanks to the Sims 3 on facebook. This guy took two homeless people with obscure traits and has been doing this experiment to see where Sims life takes them. And it turns out to be REALLY interesting. Alice and Kev, keep them in mind. Personally, I think Alice is adorable.
