Weddings

I went to a wedding this past weekend. It was a co-worker, I'm not super great friends with her but she's really nice and everything. I figured a few things out about weddings this weekend.

What I want at my wedding/reception
-a ceremony under a half hour long, preferably someplace beautiful and not in a church
-about 5 different kinds of never-ending cheesecakes, brownies, and cookies
-open bar, top shelf included if money allows
-current music or non-cheesy classics (except "Everything I Do"...that song must be included, no matter how cheesy)
-some kind of dancing around a circle thing...for some reason I really enjoy dancing in a circle. Damn you Hava Nagila dance!
-boquet throwing/garter tossing

What I don't want at my wedding/reception
-a really short aisle to walk down, if I'm finally gonna have a ton of people watching me, I want it to last for a few minutes
-a strapless dress with pearls...is EVERYONE doing that these days??
-play that funky music white boy, love shack, celebrate good times, the electric slide, you know the rest
-crying babies
-any kind of "if you want the bride and groom to kiss you have to sing" shit
-father daughter dance...am I uncomfortable with showing affection to family...yes
-more than 3 speeches
-to get drunk...or my husband to get drunk

Well that's it for now, and don't think I'm all wanting to get married anytime soon (yeah I know what you're thinking Andrew) I was just thinking about it for the future.

Oh yeah and I have a few pictures, which I will be posting as soon as I can steal Andrew's computer from him to do it, or as soon as I bring my camera to work so I can do it here.

Last thing....Andrew has a very important interview tomorrow so wish him luck, and I'm trying to have a new car by the end of the week so wish me luck too!!

I agree, traditional weddings are too over-rated... Besides, your too creative to have a typical wedding. When you have yours it will be great!

PS. Good luck with your car and Andrews interview!

The Deal with Kevin Spacey: Part 2

Image
I figure I better finish this captivating cliff hanger before 2013, so I'm writing this just under the wire. Starting from the end of the previous blog entry, here we go: A little over a year ago now, my best friend Angie posted a link to my Facebook page of a trailer for Kevin Spacey in  Richard III . The thing is, this was not a movie, it was a stage play. And the even better thing is, he was performing at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Mike and I had already moved away from Brooklyn at that time, but I had gone to BAM before, and it happened to be a quick walk from our old neighborhood. That got me thinking that it would not be difficult to get there. I looked on the BAM website, and saw that tickets were affordable. Also, Bank of America members (which, regrettably, I am) got early access to tickets. I believe the tickets went on sale in early November 2011. I called BAM the minute the box office opened that day, and ordered 2 tickets for Mike and I to attend in February ...

Silence is Golden

So I can talk. Maybe not as eloquently as I type, but I have no trouble striking up conversations with people. However, talking is not the same as expressing emotions through words, which I have a very hard time doing. I feel like it's very hard for me to say how I feel to people, for fear of getting put down, and sometimes, for fear of hurting others' feelings. Now when Andrew and I were in the process of our horrendously emotional breakup, I was crying a lot, but not saying much at all. So Andrew was confused and tried to get me to emote by constantly asking me how I was feeling, which wasn't helping the matter at all. Well Andrew has just broken up with the girl he went out with after me (BEFORE I started dating Mike, I may add). She's very hurt and keeps wondering what things she could have done to change how he felt and why he didn't tell her much of a reason why he didn't want to be with her. This makes me feel guilty for never telling Andrew anyth...

Hmm I see a trend with who in Hollywood I am attracted to: (besides Hugh Jackman, who is just, in general, the perfect man) Colin Farrell James Spader Sean Penn Olivier Martinez Michael Madsen Russell Crowe The Rock Edward Norton Justin Theroux In case you can't guess....they've all played some real badasses and/or are badasses in real life. I guess I'm just one of those people...you know, the girls who go for the bad guy. Not all the time, but I've noticed I am dramatically more attracted to someone in a movie when they become "bad". Say for instance....Sam Rockwell in Charlie's Angels (I know, bad film, whatever, but it's the perfect example) I could care less about him until the scene where he starts dancing and smoking a cigarette......so hot. Maybe I'm like the people in Crash.....maybe I just get off on violence. I don't think so though, I think I just like the power in people. Power is hot. So is a disregard for the ...
