A Leg Grows in C Minor

I think I just made an adjective into a noun then made another noun from the previous noun in one hyphenated word. Interesting. -- I know what you're thinking, I am crazy sleep deprived blogging girl again, and I've had caffeine. -- Yes, yes I am crazy odd vocabulary using sleep deprived girl, but no, I didn't have much caffeine tonight (just some hot cocoa 4 hours ago) I went to Mike's tonight to eat a wonderfully made dinner courtesy of Alex and to play what ended up being a very odd game of Monopoly. I had to leave for work shortly after the Monopoly game was over and when I started to drive away I fell into this contemplative mood. It was as if every little thing had meaning. Maybe it was the song on the radio, maybe it was the time of night, maybe it was the weather, maybe it's my time of the month to be contemplative, I don't know. I drove on the overpass of 490 on Monroe and watched as four orange "Don't Walk" signs flashed in unison. ...

So I forgot completely to write about going home to Geneva to hang out with Joe and Sue, so I'll briefly sum up the high points and post some pics. High Points -Going to Friendlys and getting an awesome burger and sundae -Dance Party involving Joe and I -Watching UTube videos -Seeing Lisa be crazy -Seeing Carmen and friends -Sue being drunk and disorderly -Joe and I "sleeping together" Here's a few pics: The reason the rest of these pictures will feature me looking odd Check Check Check Oh yes, another one of Erica being strange Last one, I swear! And I just really liked this picture Then this weekend was the weekend of Mike. Friday he hosted his Geva Improv show, and did a wonderful job. I still can't get over the fact that I'm dating a performer, evidenced in me telling everyone I saw there "yeah my boyfriend is in the show". I didn't get any pictures of him hosting, well not with my camera, but if you're REALLY interested in stalking hi...

this one is for Michaelangelo: Inara Congratulations! You scored 29! Inara: "So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress?" Your Firefly knowledge is excellent. You are more than just a passenger on this ship. You've got a major investment in it.. perhaps more than one but we won't ask you to reveal your secrets. Unfortunately you still have a few holes to patch up. Don't cry though, help is just a click away!

On Grey's Anatomy sunday night, one of the patients that was admitted was a woman who had spontaneous orgasms. Now I'm a big fan of that show, but more because of the relationships between people than the actual "true to life" aspects of it. (a bomb was IN a patient...come on how often does that happen) So I was like "whatever they made up a really cool sounding condition" which they never even explained, giving me more credence to my disbelief that a disorder like that actually exists. Not so. Alex (girl at work) was intrigued by this and it not being quite so busy today, we decided to see if there was any truth to it. This is what we found first, from an urban legend site: Three clinical psychiatrists had a paper in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry entitled "Unusual Side Effects of Clomipramine Associated with Yawning", describing 4 patients who, while taking the the anti-depressant drug Clomipramine (brand name Anafranil) reported the unusu...

We had an Italian lady in our lab this morning. I knew this not based on her name, but based on the fact that she was the loudest, most talkative person we've had in the lab since....the last Italian lady. She wore a lot of makeup, did her hair up with hairspray, and was very expressive, oh and she ate a ton for breakfast. AND this was at 4:45 AM. Now it could be tricky, because Jewish women tend to be similar, but I know an Italian when I see one. Instead of recoiling about the fact that stereotypical people are alive and well in our society, I find it kind of nice to see people like that. Maybe just because I'm Italian and I find it fun to be a part of a stereotype, even though I doubt I'm stereotypical (besides the outgoing and loving food thing....and being proud to be Italian, which God knows is rampant in the culture). Anyway, what I'm saying is....actually I don't really know what I'm saying, I'm half cocked off of sleep deprivation and I'm ...

.....ya know, I don't feel really, truly, awkward very often, but right now, it's on. Andrew and girl # 38 of the "after Erica" girls are in the den, which is now his bedroom. There is no door, so I can't be mad at them for being in there, but I KNOW they want me to not be in the living room where I am right now but I'm a stubborn girl when I want to be, and I fucking want to be in the living room right now so that's where I am. They can whisper and giggle and groan when I turn on my computer music all they want. I'm also putting up a fight because I don't see how he can bring over anyone he wants whenever he wants and expect me to just go somewhere without any previous knowledge of this person coming over. PLUS I'm not allowed to bring Mike over. Well, to be fair, I'm allowed, but if Andrew is home he will "punch him and then kick him while he's down." Well....Andrew is always home when I am home. So screw him right n...

...to about 10 years ago....Erica was the cutest little kid you'll ever see. And skipping forward to today again, Erica was very bored and wanted to try out her parents' scanner. Enjoy! An artist at a young age! A model at a young age! (that pic was put up in a restaurant actually) Ole Blue Eyes Nope, the eyes were just confused for a few years Funniest picture....ever. And the man I respect the most in the entire world. My grandpa. (picture taken in the army)
