words, words, words

I love words, I can't spell to save my life and I usually butcher the pronunciation - but I like the vast amount of words - how each word is individual, each with it's own meaning and I like how some words form in the mouth and they're just fun to spit out. I like putting words together to form a sentence that speaks volumes. Sadly that's all I'm good at writing, individual sentences. Can't put them together and any editor/English freak would hate me but sometimes I crank out a good facebook status. :-)

No matter how much I love words, I definitely need to learn to filter my mouth. I constantly suffer from foot in mouth syndrome, often not realizing I've had an episode until hours or days, or weeks later. I especially fail to think when I'm excited or happy, it's like my brain shuts down and stupid remarks fall out without being processed. Even worse my memory is horrible so I often don't remember what I said - so when somebody makes an offhanded remark about what I said 'I'm like, woah my words are powerful enough to be noted' and 'crap I totally didn't mean it like that'. I'm sarcastic and opinionated and blunt. My hurtful remarks have diminished considerably but I still need to watch my words and actions, I don't want somebody to be hurt when I didn't mean it the way the they took it.

Probably more than an Obsession

Ok I admit it, I love Veronica Mars. My sisters would say obsessed - I prefer intense liking, and I like to believe it's perfectly normal to relinquish sleep in order to stare at a screen - and watch a few episode during the day as well. I might have a problem. :P


I'm not sure what aspect makes it so great, simply put it's a serious about a modern day Nancy Drew, with more drama, danger, love, attitude, and technology. But it's so much more complex then the 'simply put' version. It's mini mystery's wrapped up in a huge murder mystery with multiple suspects and tons of clues that consistently keep you guessing (the first season more then the other two) and with clever writers who end an episode at a suspenseful climax you have to watch another episode and then another. This bundled with an amazing cast playing dynamic characters that undergo transformation throughout the series and writing that is lol hilarious and past and current cultral references, and fantastic relationships between the characters makes a fantastic series. Actually I can't describe what makes it so addicting. It just is.

p.s. If you should began to watch Veronica Mars I should warn you that it is addicting - but there are only three seasons. Also, there are only three seasons!!!!!!! It will leave you wanting - and it's currently on Neflix's instant play :-D

Attack of the Big Green Monster

I have a serious problem with envy. I always feel like the grass is greener on the other side. Even when I’ve been on the other side and I know that the grass is wilted. And when I actually think about it I remember all the benefits of being right where I am and all the downsides to being there. But still I feel envious. I wish it was possible to have the best of both worlds. Or like you could customize your life – I’d like a meaningful job that I love, with great pay, under 40hrs a week, with a four year degree, and coworkers I can get along with – I’d like to live in the middle of no where, but have the convenience of living in a city, and a private road. Sadly life is not made to order so I’m stuck with having to learn to love what I got and enjoy it while it last, because soon I’ll be wishing I was right where I am now.

2 week Hiatus

So I have an excuse for my absence, as I do for everything. I was in NYC for a week and then New Hampshire. I ended up having to skip church and Winter Jam because mom wanted to leave Sunday morning. And she didn’t find out about it until Saturday night. So I was pretty mad because I had plans for that week.

So we get to NYC and the hotel looks really nice – until we get to our room. It was ridiculously small and just ew – and they didn’t even have internet! (oh well they did, you just had to pay 15 bucks for the day). So I really couldn’t blog about my adventures (or the lack of) in NYC. But to recap, I woke up, walked to work, worked, walked back, ate dinner, watched charmed, went to bed. Then just when I thought I couldn’t stand another second the lady we were working under wanted us to go to Long Island to work. This hotel was soooo much nicer – they had internet and breakfast in the morning, and the beds were soft and – oooo so much nicer. And I could have blogged then – and I tired I really did – but my emotions were all over the place, I was frustrated, annoyed, indifferent, amused, blessed, and I’d start to write something then decide to write about something else, then go back so really I was all confused and watched Veronica Mars instead.

Then Mom realized that we didn’t have any work for the next week so she decided we were going to New Hampshire. So I got to see my babies and my sisters!!! I mostly had a good time there. They’re all getting so big!!!

And now I’m home. I finally get to sleep in my own comfy bed. I can finally run. I can drive! And I can blog. :-)
