Wow what a creative title I came up with. I've been sitting here for the last couple of minutes tryign to come up with somethign and this is the best I could come up with. The extremely boring title will have to do
Concert. Ginger, Kelly, Erica and myself went to see Kelly Clarkson at Elliot Hall of Music. It was awesome...so much fun! We would always sing along to "breakaway" and "since u been gone" at work so when we saw she was coming to town we had to go. There were so many little girls there. A lot of college aged girls too though, so we didnt feel all that out of place...haha. Kelly can rock! Her voice is awesome and she sang a new song from her next album, it was really good...looking forward to it coming out.
Friends. I got to see lots of my buddies this weekend. Spent Friday night w/ Ginger, Kelly and Erica. It was good to see them all. I miss how ginger and I come up w/these elaborate silly stories about things. For instance, we weren't quite sure if we had a fourth person going w/us. So ginger and i come up w/this story about how we will have to tak her cat as our fourth person but that they'd probably tell us no animals allowed. However I DID NOT see any "no animals allowed" signs, just no digital cameras or professional photography. After I hung out w/Lexie and she gave me these personality tests and then we killed red spiders at 2 a.m. Good times! I also got to see my sister who is also my friend. We went to lunch on saturday and just chatted about stuff. It was nice. Tried to hang out w/Kurt but he worked the whole weekend. I also talked w/Lisa (who is Alexa's friend) for a loooong time just hanging out in starbucks wasting time. I enjoyed it.
Scotty's. Ok so we used to go to Scotty's for dinner or lunch like at least once a week for a good few months this past winter/spring. Then we got tired of it, probably gained some weight from it, and probably gave way more of our paychecks to them then we needed to. So we stopped going. Anyway, Lisa, Lexie and I went to dinner there and it was goooooooood! I miss the monty's frisco and waffle fries.
etc. Whenever I go back to visit my old home I realize how much I miss it. I miss my friends mostly. It's always so good to see everyone. I just feel so comfortable when I'm back there. I know where everything is. It seems I can go most places and at least recognize, if not know people just from being around the area for such a long time.
Ok that's it.... Peace

Yay for Presents!
So I bought myself a present today! Since being promoted I have some spending money which is awesome! Anyway, my Ipod has been my best friend lately (not really but I've been using it ALOT). So I decdied I wanted an FM transmitter for it so I could listen to all my songs when driving. I can't wait to try it out. Tomorrow I'm driving down to indy/home for Abby's bachelorette party! Can't wait, I'll get to see Abby, Lexie, Kelly, Hillary and Heather! CAN'T WAIT! I've worked nine days in a row so I could have these two days off. Um lets see what else is going on... talked to Lexie yesterday for the first time since her trip. It was nice chatting w/her. Talked to Kurt last night too...nice chatting w/him since we havent talked in a while. Christine is going to the Clay Aiken concert tonight...i'm jealous! BUT I get to go see Kelly Clarkson exactly 2 weeks from today! Well time for work...can't wait till tonight is done with b/c then I get to go home and see my family and friends!
One More Thing! I think I am falling apart...Last night I sat w/an ice pack on my shoulder and two burn gel packs on my chest and left wrist. My shoulder is doing some funky things and hopefully will be all better soon. I burned myself w/200 degree water last night and it hurt like HELL! I have to say I was quite impressed w/the burn gel stuff b/c it made it feel a lot better. Ok, hopefully next time I update I won't have some other injury to report.
Peace

Bad Drivers Really Set Me Off!
So, now that I live in a new town and have been traveling back and forth b/ween my new home and old home I've been experiencing lots of shitty drivers on the way. Each time I am travelling back and forth (about two and a half hours each way) I find myself cursing in between all the singing I do to pass the time. My cursing is in reaction to all the shitty drivers I encounter! I definitely have mild to moderate road rage... I think i get it from my dad. Now I will never be one of those crazy people who try to run bad drivers off the road b/c I get so angry w/them or pull out a gun and start shooting at them (wait I don't own a gun, I do own some bullets however... but now I'm just digressing) like some crazy man did in a made for tv movie w/road rage. However, I do swear at them at the top of my lungs hoping they'll see me in their mirror, flip them the bird, and give them dirty looks and finally I pass them when I've had enough. So here's a few experiences I've had travelling back and forth that really, really pissed me off:
- One day I am driving through this little town making all these turns and zig-zags and this man on a motorcycle is in front of me going seriously 20 mph when the speed limit is 30. I am starting to get mad b/c I hate driving through this town b/c of all the turns and zig-zags and stop lights. Anyway he is looking at everyting but the damn road! After about 10 minutes of following him and yelling he decides to slowly and w/out warning turn to the right on to this small side street. I have to slam by brakes on b/c it took him serioulsy 3 days to make the turn! Soon as he finally turned I sped away and continued singing along to Kelly Clarkson...everything was good again.
- Most of my driving while travelling b/ween homes is through farmland...YAY. There's nothing like the smell of fresh manure and tractors out numbering cars on the road. These tractors piss me off too. They also drive super slow and hold up traffic. I can't stand when traffic is held up b/c there's a tractor on the road and it's in a no passing zone. Then you have the people who won't pass them once we are in a passing zone. Yes, passing can be scary, but we are out in the middle of no where so there's usually plenty of oppurtunities to pass...unless there's tractors going in both directions holding up traffic. Anyway, this gets me evertyime!
-Finally this isn't really about a bad driver just a cocky driver whos ego can be measured by all the stupid bumpers stickers he has on the back of his "pimped out" eclipse. I saw this driving through the town I hate to drive through. First it made me mad at how oblivious this perosn was, then I just laughed. I am driving behind this Eclipse and he has one of those stupid calvin from calvin and hobbes stickers on it peeing on some rival car's company name. He also had some bumper sticker saying something along the lines of size matters, and finally he had a bumper sticker that said soemthing to the affect of "no fat girls allowed b/c my car bottoms out easily". I was like man if only I could see this stud! Sure enough he stops and parks in front of a building AND we get a red light. I'm thinking "Yes I get to see this cocky bastard...if he ever gets his ass out of his tinted, spoilered, decaled, hot car" Finally, he lifts himself out and what do you know!? he himself is tubby bordering on fat! I was like come on! You put that bumper sticker on your car and YOU are fat! I so wanted to yell something at him about himself being fat, but I didn't. I didn't have the guts to do it.
Anyway, yea those are a few of my enounters w/bad drivers

Columbus Ohio
I just got back from W Laf tonight. Drove home w/the windows down and sun roof open singing to Madonna It was good times. Went down there on friday to head to Columbus w/Lexie to see Tegan and Sara. We were so excited that they were finally coming to the midwest that we bought our tickets as soon as they mentioned somewhere remotely close to us. Turns out like a day later they announced they were coming to Indy which would have been only an hour drive for us rather than a three and a half hour drive. Oh well...it was Flippin awesome! The drive there was pretty easy. Lasy year we went to theRufus/Ben Folds show in Illinios. Today we were saying that every year we need to go to a show that is far away and make it a tradition.
So anyway, The venue was very close to the ohio state campus. The campus from what we saw was pretty nice...seems like a cool college town.
Ok, about the show....like i already said, it was a rockin good time! The newport music hall had this cool feel to it. We were pretty close to the stage and for the most part had a good view. Little Brazil and Communique opened for them. We had never heard of either of the bands but were really impressed w/them. After the show they were all out front by the merchandise and we talked to them. They were cool guys! The keyboardist from Communique is really dang cute! We got our picture taken w/him and the lead singer : )
So it was finally time for Tegan and Sara to come on and the crowd pretty much went crazy. It was exciting. I commented to Lexie how good their voices were live...I was impressed. They sang stuff from "So Jealous" and some of their old stuff too. It was all good. For their encore they sang the first song I ever heard of theirs/all time favorite song of theirs "My Number". It made me smile real big when I heard that song. The show was great! BUT THE NIGHT WASN'T OVER YET...
We walked outside and decided to walk down the back alley and lo and behold there was the tour bus...so we waited around for about 15-20 minutes to see if they'd make an appearance. We just passed the time chit chatting trying to decide if we'd see them or not. I happen to be looking down the alley and I say to alexa "dude there they are..." sure enough there was Tegan and Sara making their way over. So we are like "let's go!" and we walk up and all of a sudden I got way starstruck. I've never really met anyone "famous" before. We told them that the show was great! We asked if we could take our picture w/them and they were awesome and said sure. So we have this kick ass picture of us w/them. We also had them sign our posters too. Then we left so everyone else could see them. In the midst of everyone approaching them, some fan burnt Tegan on the arm w/her cigarette.
Well that's all. I'm glad we finally got to see Tegan and Sara Lexie! Oh and one last thing...Sara has a sweet hairstyle!

hmm...
Can't really think of an exciting title so I'll just leave it at that. So what have I been up to? Not a whole lot other than work. It's a good thing I love my job! Our third store opened last week and so far so good! I'm happy to finally be in a permanent place. All our new partners are awesome and I think we are going to have a kick-ass store!
So the other night I am in my room and glance down at my phone and what do i see!? It is roaming....ROAMING! I DO NOT live out in the middle of no where... there's a walmart, starbucks, lowes and other various businesses all w/in a half a mile of my home...so why am I not getting any signal? It's odd too b/c I've lived here now for 6 weeks and I haven't had this problem until the other day. It's quite frustrating. Tomorrow I will be going to the Sprint Store to resolve this.
What else...hmmm. Talked to Neil the other day. Yay! I miss him. Got a wedding invitation in the mail from my old roomie Julie (aka Teddy)! Yay for her and Ben getting married!
One more thing. I joined myspace the other day. Just like facebook it is pretty addicting. Originally I was only going to accept people who were actually my friends but since I don't know anyone up here I figured I'd accept anyone who wants to be my "friend". Everytime I check it I have new friend requests and new messages from people. I'm pretty hesitant to actually meet someone from the internet though...who knows....we'll see.
That's all for now....peace

Hiya
Just listening to some music and I thought I'd update. I'm listening to Howie Day right now. There's something about his voice that I love. Him and Coldplay are in heavy rotation in my itunes right now.
Anyway, what's new? Had two days off in a row again so I went back to Wlaf and took care of some apartment stuff and visited w/my friends of course! I really miss being around them. Chatted w/Lexie while I did some apartment stuff then we went to dinner w/Hill and Becky. It was good times just hanging out.
After that I went home to see my family and my best friend Kel. Had a really great time at home seeing all of them. It was pretty cool Kelly and I sat outside on Friday night talking about life until 2 a.m. Having conversations about life every so often w/someone important to you is nice. It was a good convo. At one point we were talking about highschool which got me thinking that she's the person I've been friends w/the longest since moving to IN. We've been friends for 8 years now. That's pretty awesome. I'm glad we got to hangout kel! Hope everything w/your knee is alright though!
So recently it seems like everyone is trying to set me up. I say bring it on! A different date every night until I find the right one!
Finally a shout out to a certain someone for making progess w/her crush today! I am definitely a smidge jealous b/c he sounds like a super great person from what I've heard.
Cheers

I'm in LOVE
I'm in love with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Up here in michiana they rerun Oprah episodes at night which is great. I can catch them at night if I miss oprah during the daytime. Anyway, tonight they re-aired the episode where tom cruise acts like a freak on national television. Well that's what I thought until I actually saw the episode. He's not a freak....he's totally in love! Hillary and Alexa saw the original airing and said that Tom and Katie's love for each other was infectious. I'll admit I was like "um ok suuuree." But they were right, it is completely infectous. It made me feel good just watching them. Tom talks about how he is a romantic and likes taking the woman he loves on the back of his motorcycle, scuba diving, and of course showering her with flowers. I want that! Well that's about it..... Cheers
