Crazy week

What a crazy week I've had! From Saturday to Saturday it's been just wacky! I met many new, amazing and wonderful people. I got to see a fabulous concert, although I was near an obnoxious drunk guy. I got fabulous prizes in the mail, personally delivered and from UPS! (thank you Tammy, Karen, Janine, Steve and Roger!) I had a fabulous Friday evening laughing with the girls, and yeah... being near the computer when drunk isn't quite a good thing. My apartment is cleaner than it has ever been...ever! And now I know why keeping crap piled on the kitchen counter is a GOOD thing. Stupid cat is now pouncing up on the counter and eating the paper towels. And the strangest and craziest part of the week is the return of dark things from the past. If my life were a TV show all the viewers would be shouting at the TV saying, "NO! Don't look back!"
See... this friend from High School has popped back into existence. I thought she was gone forever, but Melissa sucked her back out of the abyss she's been in. And now she seems to be trying to return to the whole friendship we had. My life has been just fine without her in it, possibly better off without her in it. She claims she's grown up but she hasn't one bit.
OK, Jennifer... if you EVER find this blog.... try to remember this one little piece of advice I have for you. Sure there's a thrill in "the chase" but there's also a fine line between chasing someone who wants to be chased and stalking a person who doesn't want to be chased by you. Not to mention that fine line you really should never cross that leads to a lawsuit and restraining order for harrassment. If you haven't learned that by now, you haven't actually "grown up". I suggest you pause and take a long hard look at things before saying those words.

Lord of the Rings: Two Towers

Yes, that's right on Wednesday I braved the crowds with a new dear friend (don't know if he's got a website or not so no link there) and saw the Two Towers. I feel it was better than the first. Definately more action packed and Golum is the coolest. But the thing that made certain parts more amusing than they probably should have been is that I read The Secret Diaries of the characters. Some girl with WAAAAAAY too much spare time on her hands created that fabulously funny piece of writing. And if you read that and then go see the movie (or watch the original movie again) you'll be giggling and snickering all night long. My favorite quote from the Diaries is below.

Sam's my fancy!

See... I told you

See, we just needed some time to get things sorted. The Archives are all better now... You can now browse freely and see all the brilliant things I've ever posted here. ENJOY!

Grrr Arguh

It seems the whole archive thing is just not working. I wish I knew what the deal was with it. I apologize to all who are looking to read the early posts or find that one brilliant thing I said way back in August.

Give me time to work on it. I should get it sorted out eventually.

Ouch

My dear sweet friend totally hated the movie I got passes for last night. The movie is called Old School. I can't belive she hated the movie that much. Then again, I am the girl who totally loves Dude, Where's My Car? The movie was bad....yes. But it was so damned funny! It was completely stupid funny. I had a great time.
Yes, Jeremy Piven is much better suited to be one of the frat pledges than to be the Dean of the University. Yes, the young kid Vincent Vaughn carried around would have told Mom right away what was going on... but ya know... there's that wonderful thing called Suspension of Disbelief that helps you to enjoy the movie you are watching. I pushed those nasty little doubts aside and laughed my ass off.
The movie opens in February by the way.

Another Quiz

If you were a Greek Goddess...who would you be?

See which Greek Goddess you are.

That's who I ended up being... far too revealing if you ask me...

Nothing is less attractive...

So last night was the big Alanis Morissette concert. It was a fundraiser thing for La Rabida Children's Hospital. I got tickets and took a sweet friend, who I belive has no website. The evening started off wonderfully. We met up and went over to Daley Plaza where there is this Christkindlmarket happening. It's the coolest. It's a little German village of shops and food and gloegg which if you don't care much for wine, you're not really going to like it. But it comes in a cute little souvenir mug. The shops sell Christmas ornaments and lacey stuff and neat German things. So we each got a brat and a mug of gloegg and sat at a table with a nice little group of people who were incredibly funny.
Then it was off to be angry angst crazed women at the Chicago Theater with Alanis. We had fabulous seats about 5 rows from the stage. Tonic was the opening act, and I have a friend who I think would love that CD. I thought they were pretty good. Alanis came on and she totally rocked. The two seats to my left were open until just moments before Alanis came on. And the people who occupied the seats were Obnoxious Drunk Guy and Slutty Girl. Now ODG could barely stand, and he immediately poured beer down my leg and all over my shoe. SG also was drunk and she did that slutty dance where you roll your head around flipping your hair all over and wiggling your breasts around. Now, ODG was SO INTO HER, that she didn't need to do all that flipping and wiggling. And he couldn't keep his arms INSIDE his seating area. He kept elbowing me in the side and pushing me I was ready to take his beer cup and shove it up his ass. But, I was able to control myself and he survived without a plastic beer cup in his anus. Now ODG has this little disposable camera and he's so proud of having snuck it in. The people behind ODG and SG are all like, "How did you get that in the door? They made me check mine at the coat check." and such. There's a security guy standing RIGHT NEXT to ODG and he is pointing this camera up at the ceiling. I'm mentally telling the security guy to take the camera way and kick ODG and SG out, but he just frowned at them and told him "put it away or I'll take it away" so ODG slipped it in his pocket. Then ODG and the Giggley Drunk Women behind him start talking about Alanis and her song "You Oughta Know" and how it was written for Matthew Perry from Friends. Now we all know this is NOT TRUE. She wrote the song for Dave Coulier who played Joey Gladstone on Full House (you know the show that launched The Olsen Twins career). So I can't let ODG go on giving out incorrect trivial information. I turn to the people behind me and say, "It wasn't Matthew Perry from Friends, it was Joey on Full House. The funny guy with the blond hair." And they're like, 'Ohhh.. right." and I'm thinking, "Of course I'm right, I'm not drunk."
So Alanis comes on and ODG starts flailing around and hopping out into the aisle and taking pictures and shouting obnoxiously. All the people in our area were staring at him disgustedly. Oh, I forgot to mention. Not only was he unattractivly drunk, but he also had his little sweater tucked in to the FRONT of his pants only. Yeah, ODG had gone through all the trouble to tuck in his sweater, not only is he Obnoxious Drunk Guy but now he's Sweater Boy too... So he's bouncing all over, spilling more beer on the floor. SG is flipping and wiggling, the two start rubbing against each other. My friend and I are looking at each other and thinking the same thing, nothing is less attractive than sloppy drunk people. Security pushes them back to their seats out of the aisle. He dramatically takes off the sweater revealing his nasty beer belly and revolting hawaiian shirt under the sweater.
Then they see him take a picture and they start bugging him and he gets more obnoxious. Then one security guy comes along and tries to take him outside to check his camera. And oneof the GDW says, "He's with me" as if that means something important. If I were that security guy I'd have told her, "He's breaking the rules, and if he's with you then you're both getting ejected." But I don't think he said that... although he should have. Well, I guess they only took ODG's camera away cuz he returned. But not for long. He got tired of being watched by the security guys and left before Alanis's final encore. But, he forgot his sweater.
And after the show was complete, I discover ODG not only poured his beer down my leg but he also poured it on my coat. So I got to walk the streets of Chicago reeking of beer as my friend and I went off to a party she had been invited to. She attends church at Holy Name Cathedral and they were having some kinda Young Adult party thing going on at some building I've never been to before. It was surprisingly lots of fun, and not at all churchy as I feared when I walked in the door. Although I should have realized that with it being a Catholic thing, it wouldn't be all that churchy. It's been so long since I had attended any church events that I forgot how not churchy the Catholic events can be. So I met some new people, and over the next week if I run into them I'll most certainly remember their names (can't guarantee anything after that) so it was a good evening. I had fun and laughed a lot.
