Let down.

'Cause, duh.

I do not have a title for this entry.

It's nice to be excited about something again. I hope i'm not building myself up for let down here.

I come home in 10 days. 10 days!

I hope Ellen's been doing her research and we get to get tattoos when im home. Here is a list of things I want to do when i'm back in Lincoln (in no particular order):

1) Watch AG and eat Isles pizza with Cullen
2) Visit Mark at Yia Yias
3) Go to dads beer night on Tuesday
4) See Helen and Doug and Ellen and Amy and Jonathan and Jessica and Mat and Nathan and probably a million other people.
5) Visit Mat at Bison Witches.
6) O'Rourkes

I need to find a graduation gift for Amy. If anyone has any ideas, i need 'em. If you're reading this, im probably excited to see you too.

Stop me if you've heard this one before...

So, I went out with that boy last night. It was very fun. One drink turned into 5, and 6 hrs later we left with dinner plans for later this week.

Things I found out about him:
-He was a kitchen manager at a vegan restraunt in Hawaii.
-He has an automotive engineering degree from Western.
-He's dreamy.

Anyway, so here's the part that sounds oh-so familiar to my life. He currently lives with his ex-girlfriend. Sound like anyone else you know?

Such is life. I'm sure he'll be wooed (wooed? is that the proper spelling?) by how totally awesome I am and it wont matter anyway.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

I tried to ask a boy out for a drink yesterday and I got scared. I think this is probably the first time in a couple years that i've been scared to talk to a boy.

The Buzz house as been quite off for the last few days. I think my dad almost left my mom, but he came back this morning after a 2 day hiatus. No one's said a thing about it, and I don't know how to bring it up or if I even want to.

My cat is still the greatest cat to ever have lived.

I come home in 13 days!

Happy Earth Day!!

Some things i've been thinking about/noticing/appreciating:
1. To add an additional hashbrown at McDonalds during breakfast is only .50 cents. That is pretty awesome, because they are definitely the only thing worth eating at McDonalds, for breakfast. *

2. Apparently, yesterday was a WWE event and some of the presidential candidates videoed in, for some reason or another (trying to sway the vote of the neanderthal, I suppose?). Anyway, During Senator Clinton's video, she gave permission to call her Hil-Rod in honor of the event. Hil-Rod, you may have just swayed this neanderthal's vote.

3. My sister and I went to Walgreens the other night and while passing a van with a pro-life bumper sticker, she yelled out "You're an asshole!". It was pretty great.

4. There were 3 girls sitting at the bar at work last night celebrating a birthday, drinking wine and having dinner. It made me miss my girls a lot. A lot, a lot.

5. Last night I thought about that time that you and I slow danced in the hallway after we got back together. It was a nice memory.

6. Mat, there are no bartenders in Richland or Kalamazoo I enjoy talking to as much as you.

I think that's about it, for now. I think i'm going to have a 4 cheese lean pocket for lunch. Get excited!

*The egg McMuffin is also really great, sans the meat, but easily made at home.

I am so good at sandwiches.

No, seriously.

Sigh

I just finished the best sandwich i've ever made. Ever.

Check it:

A blend of fresh basil pesto and artichoke spread
Melted mozzarella
Sliced tomatoes
Lettuce
Sour Cream
All on toasted wheat.

Shit was bomb. And a glass of cabernet to guzzle down with it.

Perfect end to a long night of training and making other people money.

Im a workin' girl, and it ain't even on tha streeeeetz.

I officially got the job today at Food Dance. So, that's cool. I also! got my new J.Crew dress in the mail today. Let me lay it out for you:

Its so damn cute. Its in the color of: Sour Lemon. And it has pockets. It's really kind of depressing that the most exciting thing to happen to me this week is this new dress. But jesus, its cute.

I tried the veggie chicken patties tonight. Jury's still out. French frieds though? Totally delicious.

I got on the tredmill for the first time in probably, a year, yesterday. I got to the mile mark and kinda wanted to die. I think im going to start doing yoga, but don't really know which route I should take. My dad has a "golfing for yoga" dvd, but I don't know. I don't golf.

I need to find a tennis partner here. Do you think they have listings on craigs list?

Coding, html, blah blah blah

So, I went to Rockford last night which is just north of Grand Rapids, to have drinks with a friend and his co-workers. It was about the most eye-gouging experience i've had in awhile. Work talk is definitely not as much fun when you don't have a job. I need a job. Bad. I think im down to my last 20 bucks.

I have a second interview tomorrow afternoon for Food Dance, and I really, really, hope it goes well. I need to get out of the house. Like, in a bad way.

On a brighter note, baseball season is upon us, and in true fashion, the Tigers blow. But at least I can watch 152 of their games this season, so thats totally fucking sweet.

I think im running out of things to talk about. I got drunk last night, surprise surprise. And the night before. And probably tonight. When in Rome, right?

He pooped! He really pooped!

Thank god. He's actually started eating a little too, which is good.

I went around and applied at restraunts and bars today to find myself a job. I have an interview already tomorrow at this restraunt called Food Dance. Seems kinda funky, but we'll see. Kinda stoked about the interview already. It's probably because i'm so awesome. I'm really more interested in this bar called Waldo's thats right on the Western Michigan campus, and this english bar and restraunt that specializes in scotches. We'll see I guess.

I went to Best Buy today to find the new M. Ward/ Zooey Descanel (sp) collaboration, and to no surprise they didn't have it. So, I says to the guy, I says :

Me: "So, I know you're not supposed to answer this, but, uh, is there any local record store or anything where I can find smaller labels?"
Him: "Uhhhh, what?"
Me: "You know, more, I guess, underground music? Things that aren't on big name labels."
Him: "You could try that party store, I think they sell cd's."
Me: "...Thanks."

GAH I HATE IT HERE. They have to have something, right? RIGHT?
