2010.

Can I just go ahead and make a blankey comment that 2010 was and has been one of the worst years of my life.  I would say out of the 10 months of this year I have been seriously sad in about 8 of them, or more.  It has been an incredibly difficult year. 

On a completely different now, I am so Glee-tardedly excited for this week's episode of Glee!  I love the Rocky Horror Picture Show, as well as Glee, and pretty much anything that includes singing and dancing. 

I propose a challenge to the blog (since no one said no challenges):

Everyone blog about their bucket list.  It doesn't have to be complete, honestly, I am not really sure they ever are. . .

Here's my bucket list in progress:

1. Go skydiving.
2. See a Broadway musical live.
3. Get my cyclist endorsement AND go on a trip via motorcycle.
4. Have a baby (out of my vagina).
5. Visit Germany.
6. Run a marathon.

I feel like I am forgetting something obvious. . . meh, I'll think of it later.

Oh- update of my weird/douche roomie. . . I took out the recycling last week to find the containers for a jumprope, two free weights (2lbs. is my guess), and those hand squeezer thingies.  Which I have never really understood, honestly.  So you want your grip to be better?  Why exactly?  Here are some of my guesses as to who someone would want a "stronger grip":

1. Masturbation. . . either for choking it, or yourself during the act
2. Amusement park rides (no one wants to fall out!)
3. Better success rate at attempting to rape things that move (animals, humans, exhaust pipes)
4. To be able to threaten someone with a hand shake (you know, like shen a guy meets another better looking guy)
5. For cowboy purposes (i.e.- roping, etc.)

Any other ideas?

I need more coffee in my life...

I was kindly reminded (re: threatened) by Jeff to post on this (or he would publicly humiliate me by Tuesday)...so here it is :)

Not too much on my end. I am currently hanging out with Kona while we watch "Criminal Minds" and wait for the brownies to cool. He's not paying attention to the TV as much as the duck carcass that he's knawing on, but he does occassionally nip at my hoodie when he realizes I'm not paying enough attention to him. Oh, and though I had to tweak this brownie recipe a little bit as well, they actually turned out edible...unlike that last mess I conjured up at Jeff's house for MNF 2 weeks ago.

My Dad's memorial is this Saturday. I'm speaking at it, and have to write that still. As I was drifting off to sleep last night I was thinking of what I wanted to say and how I wanted to say it...and I remember thinking in my half-awakeness that I needed to actually wake up and write it, but the other half of my awakeness thought that I already was, so when I officially awoke this morning I realized that I hadn't actually preserved any of my thoughts on paper. I think I still have most of it in my brain though; I've been thinking about it now for almost 3 weeks. :/

Turtle is still being sufficiently weird. He hasn't come to see me hardly at all in the last couple of weeks...which is a little odd because he was coming here a lot for a minute there, but also kind of not weird because he has stuff going on over his way. But he also will not respond to my texts for hours at a time, which is incredibly out of the ordinary. Also, he never told me whether he was coming on Saturday or not...and though I suppose I can't hold it against him if he doesn't come, I won't be able to help that I will be upset because it will hurt my feelings.

The football season so far has been making me happy. The games have kept me entertained, yet with minimal need to give my undivided attention to the tube. I'm with Jeff though - mid-MNF pizza is killer. Geoff and I might have to go back to Chinese, or maybe swing it over to Jimmy Johns or something and see how it works out. (Geoff, will you have a car again by Monday!?)

I need to get school things figured out soon...so that I can get registered in time for January classes. I am still awaiting to hear about unemployment things, though I am trying to keep my hopes up.* The first time I had to call, it just said that "they couldn't issue me a check at this time" and this last time I called it said "a check should be issued to you in the next 10 days," so I'm hoping that it works next time! Hoez gotta get paid!

Umm...I don't really know what else to say at the moment. If something else strikes me in the next few, I'll be sure to holler. :)

*As much as someone as cynical as myself can keep my hopes up. :)

Hola

Good Morning.

Lions will go 12-4 and win the Super Bowl. Suh will sack Peyton Manning and cause a fumble, which will be returned for a touchdown as time expires.

Out.

Lack of wisdom

Not just in my teeth, in general.

First, Abby, you're not allowed to write anymore, it makes me miss you. And Asian Ninja Turtles remind me of Pat...amazing how it kinda went full circle there. I can say for sure that I would not like this gentleman, so feel free to leave out the apologies next time you spew hatred about him. He clearly deserves it.

I'd like everyone to know, also, that I love Wednesday Night bowling. Just love it. It's one of the biggest disadvantages to having a job where I'm gone all the time. Someone has to pay 25 cents for one tiny bite-size Laffy Taffy that is 8 years old...and I'm more than happy to, because each time I get a piece, I'm a winner.

MSU vs. UM this Saturday, both 5-0, biggest matchup in a loooooon time, but almost every single person I know has some plans this weekend. So, if you want to join Me, Opie, and LeeAnn...plz do.

Abby, is it safe to say that I can delete one of your profiles from the blog? I have both your gmail address and your yahoo...let me know.

Song of the night: Jason Mraz - 0% Interest.

Oh, happy birth ALAN!!!

That's all. Long day tomorrow.

Hai Gaiz!

I finally join you from the cesspools known as the internet! I bring you this: http://www.weregeek.com/2006/11/27/
Read and enjoy!

But seriously, hows it going? Been ages.
