1- Play with your new cell phone.

2- Discover your cell phone takes videos.

3- Record your dog doing nothing.

4- Fall asleep watching Gilmore Girls.

5- Post said video on the internets for the hell of it.



6- Fall back asleep (hopefully!).



* fun not guaranteed.
** excitement even less so.

ETA - yes, it is sideways. Sorry about that. I didn't say I had my phone figured out yet.

ETA part 2 - Why does youtube not love my video? It is awesome. Stop making it not work. If it doesn't work, I apologize again :)

I stole this from oneechan19-

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you for your interest in my words.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself? Any old thing at all, the more trivial and fascinating, the better. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...they enjoy nose-picking on balmy summer evenings, and have a giant birthmark shaped like a wilderbeest on their right buttock."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear.

What comes to mind when you think of a pharmacist?

Another way to put it.. what is your opinion of pharmacists?

It isn't truly dire that you answer, I would definitely appreciate it.

jvgymnast tagged me to do this. List 10 things lately that made you happy and then tag 10 people to do the same. And I will just for kicks (in no particular order)...

- Peppermint ice cream returns!

- Suki smacking Patches in the head when he got too close. Finally!

- Watching Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice with my mom.

- Having two desks at work, and more job functions (Hooray, more responsibility! Yes.. I'm that weird.)

- Cuddling Patches. And Sean. Sometimes at the same time.

- Randomly being able to get zucchini bread at the grocery store.

- Holding Sean's new nephew, Aidan.

- Planting my bonsai tree seeds (I hope they grow..)

- Hanging out with oneechan19 and paradoxicalme. I hope I spelled that right this time.

- Buying even more books! Seriously.. my queue is getting huge...

I tag.. you. Cause you read this. HA!

In life news, my arm is reminding me that it got stabbed repeatedly with a needle yesterday in a effort to give blood, not once, but four times. So I will now retire to my couch and many shows on DVR.

Awww.. isn't that sweet? Now to go watch more Doctor Who...

You're the University of Washington!

A visionary for your area, you truly can see it all. At the
same time, you used to be prone to burning out and trying to do it all. You
have to remember that you're just one person, and can't be responsible for a
whole community. But this is a lesson you've managed to learn long ago and
now you rely on all sorts of people. Many of them really enjoy looking at you.
Even though it seems like an out-of-date phrase, you're a big fan of dubbing
things.

At least I'm in a good state!

So, earlier this week, paradoxicalme e-mails to invite me to a concert chiara607 couldn't make it too. It meant a chance to see oneechan19 (aka Carrie) and paradoxicalme (aka Liz), so I went. After standing in lines in the heat for about an hour and a half, we did finally get to see an actual concert, which was nice!

Let me start by saying, I didn't know any of the bands who were playing, except the last one a little bit. I went for the hell of it, and to see my friends. And cause it was free.

Here is the rundown of the bands -

Cobra Starship-
They were ok. I heard one of their songs later, and they are definately better recorded than live, which is a shame. Or maybe that is the heat and margarita combination making me sleepy... Hmmm... They had some funny song introductions though. "Here's a song about loving a girl so much, you don't want to lose her. So you tie her up in your basement."
For those of you who don't know who they are, they sang a song for Snakes on a Plane, along with some other people in the original.

Paul Wahl-
He was a rapper. And I would like to throw Paul into a Wall. How does rap go with the rest of these bands? I don't know. So I wandered around and got a lemonade for most of their set.

The Acadamy Is-
I was informed before the show that their lead singer William is a girl. And he kinda was. Skinny legs and tight pants, but a good singer. I actually liked this band, and intend to investigate them before any CD purchases are made. This would be known as the time when I actually paid attention. Partially cause there was a naked guy playing drums who changed colors with the lights. "He's blue!" we would scream.

Plus 44-
They had some good songs, and some of the band members are from Blink 182. But they all sort of ran together for me. I could tell they played well, but they needed more diversity in their songs to really have an impact, on me at least.

Fall Out Boy-
Ah, a screaming Carrie and Liz.... and several hundred girls below the age of 14... However, they were surprisingly good live. They put on a good show, lots of the extras, like lights, fire!, and a big screen in the background showing various things. They played well, both instruments and singing. I actually knew a few of their songs, so I finally got to sing along, yey! I heard some people calling them "Sell out Boy" at the actual concert (before they played), so I wondered why those people spent their money to go. The sad part is that I missed watching half of the show because I had heat exhaustion. Stupid day star.


So it was a good concert, and I am glad I went. Carrie lost her voice, which was funny in itself. Oh, and we got cut off several times while leaving by a pot smoking truck. How stupid are you to smoke pot in your truck? And then drive erratically? Wow. When you get arrested, don't call me cause I'll just be laughing my ass off.

Now I have to go for the celebration of Mothers.

I must pimp my friend's band -



or you can just go to www.myopicmecca.com

They are having a concert on June 4th, and I think you should go.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

Father said, "No".
I said, "Why can't we?"
And he said, "She needs rest. She needs to be on her own."

Despite how the lines look, it is a really good book written from the perspective of an autistic kid.

Since I had about ten books within an arm's reach of me, I actually had to decide between them. At least you didn't tell me to pick between all my books....

Usually by this time of year, it is warm out, but ya know, rainy and stuff like that. But no. We have snow.

Hey, that kinda rhymed at the end there.

No, I don't have a real update. Deal with it.

Tomorrow is the last day before I start my job.

Impending doom, anyone?


In happier news, I saw oneechan19 and paradoxicalme today. I hadn't seen either of them in a while, so that was nice. I also got to play cards with dreaghon's (aka Sean) family and play some cards. Always fun.

I'm starting to feel better breathing-wise, so that is good. Apparently the two inhalers are working somewhat, but I still have to stop and sit a lot.

Off to bed now... last night without a damn alarm clock going off.

I'm in Dallas now, we made it after a long and tiring day. Tomorrow I will have my first class and look at my future apartments and make sure they are nice.

More later... now.. sleep.

Apparently, it will make it show up, but it won't be good news. Not bad news either, but confusing news.. which is the worst news of all.

Checking your email 27 times a day, sometimes consecutively, will not make mail that is now there suddently arrive.

Or will it???
