the randomness that I call my life

Cheerfully depressed

Apparently several months have gone by without my ramblings.
I guess I've been busy. =p
The last few months have been pretty crazy.....had a lot going on. I can't believe it's already the end of April. I don't really think I have a lot to ramble about....but here's a rundown of some of the things I've learned so far this year:
*You MUST remember to make time for yourself
*Sometimes it's ok and a lot of fun to ditch responsibilities to go goof off with your best friend for an afternoon
*Reality tv in general sucks....and Hollywood writers should never go on strike again. Thankfully they came to their senses and we have new episodes of Lost and Desperate Housewives back ;)
*Even the best relationships need constant work
*There are certain physical activities that are a lot easier and much more enjoyable 170 pounds lighter ;)
*Salads are freakin awesome and much easier to eat everyday when you add fresh mushrooms, broccoli, snap peas and bell peppers (thanks Hillary and Dave) ;)
*Even when you think you have a lot of patience....you can always use more
*Mariah Carey songs can sound pretty awesome as emo/rock songs (thank you hottie David Cook....who I've decided is my new boyfriend, by the way) hehe
*My family and close friends really are the most important things in the world to me and I can't take that for granted
*Johnny Depp CAN get even hotter when he sings....even if he is slitting people's throats in the process (that's right....go rent Sweeney Todd)
*You don't always have to put up a front...it's ok to let your guard down and let people know you aren't ok
*The Foo Fighters are freakin awesome in concert...and Dave Grohl is dead sexy
*Dinners with Terry and Leeayn are never a let down ;)


Latest favorite movies:
*Sweeney Todd...obviously
*Enchanted....super cute movie and catchy songs
*Dan In Real Life....one of my new favorites!!! Super cute movie and an awesome soundtrack. Rent it if you haven't seen it!
*Juno...another super cute movie with an awesome soundtrack. Very clever.
*Once....yet another one with an awesome soundtrack. They won the best song Oscar this year for Falling Slowly

Most played songs on my non-existent Ipod ;):
*Once Soundtrack
*Dan In Real Life Soundtrack
*Juno Soundtrack
*Sweeney Todd Soundtrack (do we see a pattern here)
*Jason Castro from American Idol (cutie with the dreads) singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow
*Foo Fighters - Come Alive
*Iron and Wine - Boy with a Coin
*Spoon - The Underdog
*Vampire Weekend - M79
*Kate Nash - Foundations (Emmy....have you heard of her??? I love her cd)
*Ingrid Michaelson - The Way I Am
*Jack Johnson - If I Had Eyes
*John Mayer - Say
*The new Radiohead CD
*Janet Jackson - Feedback
*Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown - No Air

And just today the new Madonna cd was released. Of course I downloaded it....I am a huge fan of her last one, Confessions on a Dance Floor. If you are fan of that one you should definitely check out this one. It's pretty fantastic. =)

Nothing else too terribly exciting.......
Oh, I started a third job. You know....because I'm crazy. No, but really it's another easy, work from home thing. Addressing envelopes and postcards for a real estate company. Easy money.
Oh, and I also broke up with the boyfriend. It was fun for awhile, but he just got too needy and I don't do well with that. I really need my space. So he had to go. Unfortunately he acted like a 5 year old and it didn't end well....but whatever.

So I will leave you with a funny quote from Jim on The Office:
"Because right now, this is a job. If I advance any higher, this would be my career. And if this were my career, I'd have to throw myself in front of a train."

  • Now I feel I must blog, but don't hold your breath!

    Yes I have the Kate Nash album, my fav. is Pumpkin Soup! Have you heard the Hoosiers? I love them and the lead singer is cute too!

    As our Office characters have different names I have to guess who the quote is from, I think he was Tim in the original!
