Ok, so ever sincd I've been reading

delia 's blog, I've been really into the idea of donating blood.

I'm not squeemish about blood, and really, would love to be a phlebotomist [but I heard they don't really make alot of money around here, and i'm already in school ATM so I can't do it :( ] so I figured I should really be at least donating, right?

So a couple of weeks ago, I did a little of the leg work of looking up where I could get it drawn. I've donated before, but it was when I was at school, so I didn't really know how to do it other than just show up.

My coworker, who I found out is really into donating, was trying to get my boss to donate. And she said she couldn't because she had a tattoo. And the nosy person I am interjected "That's not true! I have tattoos, and they let me donate!" so, in anycase, I work at a college, and he told me there was a donation van today, so we signed up, and walked over, and he was low on iron, but I was ok (I was sooo scared waiting, because normally, I'm low on iron) so I got to give blood.

Which makes me happy. And hyper. Really super hyper!

La la la la. That is all. :D

I dunno, nothing much to update.

I spent most of my day playing Galga with Lovey. Playing the game, we kinda reverted to our teenaged selves... and it was nice. I mean, not that we're totally different people now, but you know how when you don't know anything, you don't know anything's wrong? It was nice to ignore all the problems with our life for a little while.

I got emotional, and I think It's because of the shitty eating I was doing.

I'm like, trying to diet for the first time in my life, and I'm amazed at how obviously linked my mood is to my daily diet. I eat shit, I feel like shit, I act like a shit. I eat well... well I"m still a shit, but at least not as much as normal, ha ha.

In any case, I had fun, playing video games and watching Family Guy and being immature. :P

I am a relatively fast crocheter. And in February, Lovey bought some cotton yarn and asked me, for her birthday, to make her a bag that she could take with her to disneyland.

We always have issues with bags being uncomfortable, or too big, or not big enough, when we're walking around the park, so this is really a good idea. And I don't know if I made her a good one or not, but I have to talk a little about this bag and it's terrible rule over my life.

In december, I made an entire blanket in 2 days. So it's not like asking me to make a little bag is really all that much to ask. But I got busy, and I got scared and I got moving, and things just went kinda CRAZY, and before i knew it, it was Lovey's 25th birthday and I was about 1/3 the way done.

The thing with Lovey is, she knows this is how I get- and she forgives me. (Perhaps a little too easily) and because she WASN'T breathing down my neck about her (two and a half months) late birthday present, I really didn't put alot of effort into getting it complete.

In my neurosis, though, is the thought that I cannot create something for me, unless my other tasks are done- and a bag promised months ago is definitely an undone task. So in the past few months, my crochet, which usually means at least two to three noteworth bags or hats every few months, and a few dolls/animals/smaller projects as well, has been at a complete stand still.

And I'm not gonna go out and call myself artistic (because it feels like a lie) but maybe creatively effected would be a fair term. What I mean is... I don't have to be doing something life changing, I don't have to be making people weep.. but I kinda go a little more nutso than usual if I'm not self expressing. And Yarn has been the best medium for self expression yet... so because I had a self imposed ban on it, the last few months have been unneccesarily harder than normal.

In any case, the bag of doom is finally complete. And while I was much too lazy to actually take pictures, Lovey was gracious enough to text me a picture of the new bag, which I actually caught her using last night. (Alot of my projects are totally goofy and therefore go unused. It's always a delight when something I made is actually what some one wants)

Here is said bag of doom:

And now that thie bag of doom is done, it has been transformed into the bag of freedom, because... if I ever get home in time to start something, I am completely free to create whatever my heart desires..

Right now, I think my heart desires a Jedi Knight, or perhaps Jabba The Hut.. I'm much to lazy to make my favorites- chewy or r2d2 though.. We'll see what comes of my crafty freedom... if not now, then when School frees me for the summer.

Blame It- (Lyrics)- Jamie Foxx Feat. T-Pain

This song is catchy and fun and straight up, seriously no shit, about date rape.

I'm sorry, I'm sensitive (I'll give you one guess why) but I can't help it! Every time I think about these lyrics ("I hear you sayin' what you won't do/But you know we're probly gon do") I can't help but think "What the FUCK do you think you're saying?" Because to me, what this song says is "If a girl is throwing up drunk, and she comes on to you... it's totally fair game"

That being said, this song is really really catchy. I just wish it had a better message.

Love Story - Taylor Swift

I was gonna write something funny here. I just don't have anything to say other than... really? I mean, one, I know that you met "when you were still young." Not just because you're taylor swift and have never been anything but young, but because you reference things that only high school sophmore's read- Romeo and Juliet and The Scarlett Letter. Please. I have already been traumatized by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Shakespeare. Please don't make me re-live it.

My Life Would Suck Without You - ( Lyrics) - Kelly Clarkson

My Life would suck with out you, too, Kelly. But please, re think some of your lyrics. Honestly, I really, really think this song is great- except for the title! Life usually sucks... it feels like such an injustice that your voice is being wasted on something so anti-poetic as the word "Suck"

</end word snobbery (...for now... maybe)

Just Dance/Love Game/ Poker Face- Lady Gaga

Listen, Lady... I love you! but my GOD you're everywhere! Haven't you heard? Absence makes the heart grow fonder. So please... let some one else have just a little air time.

Gives You Hell - All American Rejects (Lyrics)

I wake up every morning, With this song Blaring in my Face
It's always out of place
Especially when I'm working at my 9-5 pace
I like the way it tastes

To put food on my plate
But this song is hell, Yes it gives me Hell
When you Sing That Way
It gives me hell, god it gives me Hell

And truth be told I'd miss you
But truth be told I'm dying

When I hear this song
It gives me hell, Yes it gives me Hell
Every time it's played
It makes me ill, and it gives me Hell

If I found a Band that had a Plan and could sing well,
I'd be happy, and the Rejects'd be screwed for giving me Hell.

I had a few ideas about what I want to post about. But for some reason, I always feel like I should like, do something significant for my first post. Unfortunately, there seems to be very little that IS significant about me, which leaves me in kinda a rut as far as this wishing I had something interesting to start out with.

So, Instead of writing a long introductory post or a bunch of surveys that no one in their right mind would want to read, I'll just start out with my attempt at A Day In my Life.

If you're from live journal, you might already know about this. What you do is you take pictures of your entire day and then post them- along with snarky/pithy comments in order to show the world 1) what an exhibitionist you are b) how incredibly cool and interesting and intelligent you are and 3) (I assume) why you're always complaining about how bored you are.

Because I am technologically and photogenically challenged, I used my cell phone to take like 40ish pictures documenting my incredibly normal Sunday.

Enjoy

*****EDIT****Oh... by the way... I have tried ALOT to get this formatted to go under a cut. but today it's just not agreeing with me. I'll work on it later

A DAY IN MY "Life"

MAy 17th, 2009

I woke up at an embarassingly late hour.. What do you expect though? If there's one flaw I'll admit to, it's being lazy (consequently, I will admit to many, many other flaws)( Read more... )

Lovey and my niece, Bree was over (one of the reasons I was awake so late the night before) But was too quick for me, so I didn't get a bed head picture of her. Damn those fast moving teenagers!

Lovey, on the otherhand, was too deliriously asleep to object to my snapshot.

So, I might be a little on the showy side sometimes... but even I have my limits, and bathroom stuff? NOT something I assume you'd even WANT to see!

So here's a before and After shower pic:

Ick... Now that I see those... I think I should have made them a little bit smaller... and darker... and blurrier... and maybe not taken those at all.

I lost my wallet the night before, and then remembered this morning that I left it in Kyle, My car. So I went down to get it.

I take a lot of heat for R2D2 and C-3PO... but I think my keys are awesome :)

Ciggie Break.

We decided that we were gonna take Bree to Pasadena. Why? Because Pasadena is pretty! and on the way home-ish for Bree- which is a plus when it takes 2 hours to drop her off! So, we used the interwebz to get directions (And maybe spend half an hour on phonezoo.)

Lovey Looking up directions

Me wasting time on phonezoo.

In the car! I love when Lovey drives. Not only does it give me time to take pictures... I get to dress up with whatever I find in the back of Kyle!

This is my lady gaga look for the day. (To me Big Sunglasses + Big Hat = Lady Gaga. Correct me if I'm wrong)

Blurry Time Check

Dork that I am, I took this picture in the car on the Burbank freeway.

This is the ABC building. If I had waited about 2 seconds longer, I would have gotten an awesome view of the cool Disney Animation building. But I'm just not that smart/patient/talented.

Out of the car and looking lovely in the parking garage..

I don't know exactly what these were for, but I love butterflies, so I took a picture!

We walked around for a while, and ended up using the Bathroom in Gelson's Market. I should have bought something to get validated there- it was 4.50 for parking, and we were only there for a few hours!

At this point, Lovey and Bree are ready to kill me after all my picture taking.

I don't know... I just think Pasadena is pretty. Too bad is so far away from civilzation though :(

I dragged the girls into the Antique Mall (one of my favorite past times) and found TWO star wars books I wanted. (I didn't get either. Not only am I broke, I don't have room for more books *sadly*)

EWOKS!!!!!!!!!
(wow.... how am I just NOW realizing what a dork I am?)

We leave the Parking Garage and I do a Time Check.

We stop for a snack

and on our way home, some lunch

We're on our way to drop off Bree in Corona, which is a boring drive. Not much to once you get into the OC and the Inland Empire :(

That's pretty much the view for 50/ 60 miles :(

Yet another shitty time check

We get to Bree's house.

And I get to see B, Bree's Younger Brother. I used to be their baby sitter once upon a time. I can't believe how much he's grown (especially in that shaggy hair department! Why do boys think this looks good??

Bree shows us her awesome promotion dress. Pretty cute!

We hang out for a while, and gab about stuff. I tried taking some pictures, but they all turned out too dark. Forgive my horrible picture taking!

Time Check as we get in the car to leave.

Kyle is Hungry! Time for some unleaded supper!

Again, there is nothing interesting about car rides.

We get home in time to catch the season finale of Family Guy!

Final Time Check. I forgot to get one before I fell asleep. It' was probably embarassingly early... I think 11 o'clock. I fell asleep with the TV on (lame)
