is crazy.  After thanksgiving dinner, jimmy (that boy that screams) and i were fighting on the couch…. Something about me being a tool because i wouldn’t let him take my phone and text (probably wildly inappropriate comments) to the person i was texting. Before i knew it, he was kicking my legs over my head and i was suffocating because my airway was being blocked by…… well you should probably just see the picture.

This is especially painful just after eating thanksgiving dinner…. but don’t worry, i got him back… it’s hard to have control over everything when you are very full and laughing really hard and gasping for breath and you’re forced into a ball…. so i farted in his face.  accidentally.  I’m pretty sure his mouth was open.  I think i win.

As many of you know my Grandma is in a nursing home, and has been occasionally crazy for quite some time…. in case you’ve forgotten, you can check here or here. Yesterday i went to visit her first question for me was if i was seeing anybody to which my answer was not at the moment.  She pursed her lips and looked at my mom.  So, mom asked if that was ok with her.  After a long pause as she tried to find the words, her reply was, no i don’t like it, but i’m not seeing anybody either. oh grandma. you’re the best.

It’s gonna be crazy but in a good way

i just heard that the rubic’s cube has only 1 right answer, and 43 quintillion wrong ones….. i don’t even know what that number is!!!!!!!! crazy!

about this picture (taken to send to someone to show my haircut) 1. my giant sunglasses (which i found and did not buy) 2. you can see my reflection in the door behind me and apparently, i stand with my legs crossed.

when you take a big swig of really fizzy coke (that’s coke not soda for you silly southerners) and it makes your eyes water

the smell of crisp cool air first thing in the morning

sunsets from planes

goosebumps from really sappy movies

watching terribly cheesy movies with old friends and secretly loving them despite all the fun you make

learning people’s old nicknames

sleeping when it’s super cold and you get to hunker down and snuggle up

watching people pretend they like the stupid elementary crafts you make them so they don’t hurt your feelings

really smooth rocks

Having a conversation with someone stretch a whole day via text messages

how pretty i feel with freshly painted toenails even though no one is seeing them

front hugs (shhhh don’t tell SAGU)

I’ve realized that working at the Y has turned me into a 7 year old boy.  When I got home from work the other day, i emptied my pockets and had to laugh at their contents.  Through the course of the day i had accumulated:

• a toy car
• 3 checkers
• 4 leggos
• a wadded up piece of notebook paper
• a rock

if that’s not the definition of a little boy’s pockets, i don’t know what is.

I just remembered why i was kept to a maximum coffee input at trs….

I roughly drank a half gallon of coffee this morning…. and i am a mess….

I’m talking at a rate about triple my normal speed

I can’t get ideas out because my brain is going so much faster than my mouth that i’m on to step 6 before i’ve said step 2 causing there to be gaps in my logic to people not prevy to the information zooming through my head

i’ve used the restroom 3 times in the last 2.5 hours…. that’s my usual output per day

I have a really hard time not reacting when i overhear other people’s conversatin…. this is no good when you don’t want people realizing that you’re listening in….. today i overhead a girl on her phone… and my ear tuned in just in time to hear her say…. just shove it up your butt and i’ll check on you in a little bit….. WHAT??? HOW CAN I BE EXCPECTED NOT TO REACT TO THAT??!!!

tomorrow i will only have my normal 1.5 to 2 cups…. no more 2 pots for me…. i learned my lesson…. for now,.

i’ve been failing with the self control the last couple of days….

yesterday i watched white christmas….. twice…. well sorta…. the first time i watched it… but i was doing other things…making snowflakes… so i mostly watched it.  The second time, I was talking to a friend on facebook and he was watching white christmas and quoting lines to me… and i couldn’t keep up, and i didn’t want to be beaten… so i put it back on and fast forwarded to about where he was so i could beat him to the punch on some lines.  I think he still beat me.  He can pretty much quote the movie verbatim….. I can’t.  But he watches is periodically throughout the year… not just the christmas season.  BUT he’s never EVER seen Holiday Inn…. So I can’t really admit total defeat.  I’d kill at that one.   Am I rambling??? Oh yeah… on the the second part of my lack of self control…. I’m finishing up my second pot of coffee this morning…. with no food in my belly.  I haven’t had this much coffee in the morning since working at TR’s… and i would just keep filling my cup and not pay attention to how much a drank…. I’m super jittery…. it’s kinda fun tho.  I’m apologizing in advance to anyone who has to be around me today…. it might be annoying… I’m just saying…. OOOOO gotta go, coffee JUST kicked in. YIKES

ok…. so i cut it…. and i couldn’t really see the back… because i thought about it after i started that i don’t actually have a mirror to see the back….. soooooooooo my friend edith came over to clean it up for me…  =) I pretty much freaking love it…. but it’s late… who knows. lol… it could be crazy gross and i don’t know it

this is edith… she’s my sylist. =) we had fun…. she insists that i say horrible picture of her…. i respectfully disagree

ok…. she made us take a new one of us… here she is

I’ve not really done anything today…. i’ve been thinking about it for a couple of hours… and i think i’m going to try and cut my own hair…. just for fun.  if i go through with it, i’ll show you pics. haha. i think i’ll cut conservatively in case i make it really awful…. that way i can get it fixed by someone that knows what they’re doing without chopping it ridiculously short.
