A Leg Grows in C Minor

#1: I am sick. I thought it was allergies but now I am beginning to think otherwise. You know how sick people are usually...tired? Yeah it's definitely not good to be working the 1am-9am shift tonight. ZZzzzzz...... #2: I am good at my job. The big big big boss checked over some of my sleep scoring the other day and was very impressed, saying "I heard a rumor you were good" and even gave me a high five. This was before he accused me of sexual harrassment. Ha. #3: I am sick of both my computer and my car. If anyone would like to give me a free new computer or car, you are very welcome to do so. #4: I am afraid I won't get to go on what could be one of the coolest vacations of my life because my lovely boyfriend keeps forgetting to tell me what day and time his flight is. I know he's getting around to finding out about it, and the trip is not til august, but I like to plan these things ahead of time, possibly even getting a flight that's not horrendously expensi...

I went running tonight. I don't go running. Ever. The last time I went running it was up a big hill at Geneseo and I almost stopped after about 5 minutes. This time it was better, along with my coach (guess who), I ran 2.4 miles or something. Apparently you're supposed to breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. I'm not a fan of breathing in through my nose, I think I have bad lungs or something and breathing through my nose is hard for me to do. I was trying though, I really was. All in all it was a pretty good workout, but I still like swimming better. And on a side note, just so people don't think Andrew is a crazy commitment phobic guy, when I said he "freaked out" about that show, he really didn't. I'm having my own issues right now, probably because I am beginning to feel like I'm starting my grownup life, and these issues revolve around me talking and thinking too much about marriage and babies and houses and stuff like that....

So my dad is a hippie. Full out, drug growing (though not anymore I swear...I don't want anymore helicopters in my yard), long hair wearing, original Woodstock attending, police hating hippie. I think all of my friends and acquaintances can back me up on that one. I am not a hippie, however I just took a personality test (I can't stop with these stupid tests now) and this is what it told me (with a side picture of a hippie guy looking oddly like my father holding a flower): You are a Guru! (Submissive Extroverted Abstract Feeler) You are a GURU (SEAF)— kind, knowing, giving. Like Buddha of old, you can be a persuasive speaker, and you use your creative talents to further the objectives of your heart instead of your mind. But be careful that your friends don't take advantage of your relaxed nature. Above all, you like going with the flow. That's cool. Oh yeah, you like to talk a lot. That's cool, too. Whatever. Then if that isn't bad enough (and mostly just like ...

Before I start this post and I get berated by people saying that what I'm about to say means nothing because IQ is a stupid test and online tests are even stupider...I know. I know it all. I am only saying these things because they make me feel good about myself, regardless. That said: I was bored tonight and took a wonderful spark.com trip in which I took many tests (one of which said they were 20% certain I was a girl...hmm....that seems pretty low....) Anyway I took an "unintelligence test" which told me I was 75% smarter than all others in my gender and age group that took the test, and much more observational as well (noticing traffic lights, things of that nature). However it said I had no sense of humor and no morals...hmm. After my confidence boost with that test I decided to take the actual IQ test that the site offered. I know, I know, it's not real, blah blah. But I find it interesting that I took a totally different online IQ test when I was about 17 and g...

So from freshman year of college up until I graduated, I worked at Brodie, the Performing Arts building. I was a work-study student for the two best bosses in the entire world, Pat and Lori. After being there for 4 years I got to know all the professors in the music/theatre department and some of the acting/singing/whatever students. The reason I applied for that job in the first place is because I secretly long to be an actress, however I have a hard time with failure. I haven't acted in anything since I was in high school. I could have gone out for parts in college plays, but I'd tell myself "I'm scared of Dr. Blood" or "Dr. Brown is weird to women and I hate him anyway". The real reason I didn't go out for parts is that I was too afraid of getting shot down. I want to keep up the belief that I could be an amazing actress if I want to be, but I merely choose not to use my wonderous talents. That's much better to think of than the alternat...

I got to thinking about laughter earlier. I'm not really sure why exactly, oh wait yes now I remember. I was watching Queer Eye for the Straight Guy by myself and it was actually making me laugh out loud. So I thought....I don't usually laugh this much when I'm by myself, laughter is one of those things you do more in front of others than by yourself (well at least for me). So I thought....why is this making me laugh so much, and when else have I just laughed by myself (to be laughing when alone something must be REALLY funny)? Then I think of Whose Line is it Anyway, which isn't funny all the time but has reedeeming qualities. I laugh soooo hard at that show, but only certain skits. Anyway, to make a long story short....I was thinking that everyone has some kind of humor that makes them laugh the most. For me, as mean as this may sound, it's people making fun of other people. Not in a mean way per se, but....for example today on the show the queer eye guys w...

And growin' on up...I'm gonna be moving out AND living with a boy. How crazy is that? It's been a whirlwind week, I'll say that much. Wednesday I got off work at 6 am, went to Andrew's house to sleep for a little bit while he went to work, then he got home and at 1:00 pm we went to look at apartments. Here's the rundown: 1: Clearview Farms: looked at two bedroom townhouses....not sure why though because that's waaaay too much space for us little people. Liked the loft look though, pretty cool. 2: Riverton Knolls: A bit haughty-taughty (wtf, is that even a word? Well you know what I mean). I did like it though, it has like 3 swimming pools and a tennis court, a little pond with ducks, and blah blah. The awesome thing is that you get a washing machine and a dryer in your apartment, not the building, the apartment. The crappy thing is that we could only afford one bedroom and we needed a bit more space. 3: Westbrooke Commons: It was just....okay....
