(Truth be told, I wrote them down on a piece of paper, have misplaced the paper, and am too lazy to figure them all out again.....THERE. Happy now? Don't judge...)
Anywaaaays...
I'm really hoping that I get a job soon? Why, you ask? Because I'm turning into a crazy person. It's not like I have a husband or kids...so I really am not all that productive. Don't get me wrong...I'm not as lazy as you may think. I do actually clean and such...and apply for a zillion jobs a week...and help others at certain times...but seriously...come on. I often wonder if this whole thing is a learning experience. When I have a job, I'm a workaholic. I'll go in early, stay late, and work through lunches half (or more than half) of the time. So maybe this is just some sort of cosmic happening that's saying, "SISTER...GET a LIFE!" *shrugs* We shall see. But at any cost, the holidays are approaching, and I would love to get my loved ones more than raisins and croutons. Why raisins and croutons? NO IDEA. Those are the two random things that popped into my head...I really don't like either of them, either. WEIRD. See...turning into a crazy person.
Some random things...
1.) I really do need a job...because I've learned something else about myself. I'm a makeup/skincare snob. Yes...*sigh* It's true. I don't know how this happened...I was a tomboy'ish girl for most of my life....not butch or anything...just very much into sports and no frills...and got along with guys better than girls for the most part. Then, as previously stated, I spent the majority of my adolescence with older guys...and I think they probably appreciated the fact that I wasn't a super-girly/makeup and hair-obsessed senseless chatterer. (However, I WAS super-sarcastic *supposedly*, but no one can say that I didn't hold my own with them either...lol) I went along for the fishing and hunting and shooting...so was my life, and I loved it :) But anyway....moving on. So....I didn't get this way until a few years ago...but I think Sephora/Ulta could be my undoing. If you wanted to tempt me, that's the way you could do it. I'm an uber-loyal BE Girl (Bare Escentuals, if you're not familiar)...and I find myself gravitating towards more and more brands....my most recent faves are Lorac and Too Faced...Smashbox is good too....But before you judge me for being TOO snotty, also know that I have sensitive skin, and apparently some of the cheaper stuff has decided it's going to start breaking me out in hives. *shrugs* Fabulous. So anyway...I need a job...to help feed my addiction. It's bad when your dreams revolve around a vampire and makeup. Just sayin...
2.) I really miss my friends...my super-loyal friends...the ones that you may only see every year or two, but as soon as you're together, it's like NOTHING has changed. Phone calls are fine, but it's just not the same. Sure, I have a few WONDERFUL friends that I LOVE here in SC (KK, don't think that I'd forgotten you)....but sometimes, it's just necessary to let loose with those people that you've known since before you were the person you are. That probably doesn't make sense at all....but hopefully you get my drift on that one. But anyway...this weekend, I'm having the fabulous opportunity of seeing at least 3 of my best/oldest friends :) Well, actually, they ARE my 3 best and oldest friends....known Hoov and Janet since I was 6 and Kirsten since I was 8 (but who KNOWS who you might see when back in the old hometown? yeeesh...not excited about that part) Going up to PA for my yearly visit....to help my friend, Janet, with her booooooooth and stopping along the way to pick up Kirsten for the rest of the trip up....so road trip with KiKi and staying with Hoov and Janet. Life is fab :) (for those of you who can't understand WHY I'm going when I don't have a job....understandable...but arrangements were already made pre-unemployed suckiness that is my life.) So I'm excited...yay :)
3.) New Moon Countdown....44 days and a few hours. DunDunDUUUUUUN. Can you stand it? I can't. But I feel like we're in the homestretch now, Twilighters! We'll get New Moon in November, I imagine it'll be out on DVD in March or so, and then Eclipse in June. So don't give up hope! I love all of the merchandising, though. Seriously...apparently, if you just slap the word "Twilight" on something, it'll sell. I should go into business. I bet if I made something as ridiculous as a Twilight toilet scrubber, SOMEONE would buy it. My friend, Melissa, sent me this picture message the other night of a lifesized cardboard cut-out of Edward Cullen, and I about died. Don't get me wrong...I've seen them available for purchase before...but actually seeing the picture of it set up in the store, wearing an employee name badge around his neck...PRICELESS. (I must also admit that I'm a little scared by the number of tween girls that probably practice their kissing on said cut-outs that they've made their parents buy them, but I digress...) She also told me that Bath and Body Works is apparently coming out with a new fragrance....Twilight Woods. I'm sure it has absolutely no affiliation with the movie/books, but they've ingeniously named it to appeal to the masses. (Seriously, I bet they sell out of it this Christmas season) I've also seen the DuWop Twilight Venom that you can buy....it cracks me up. This actually IS affiliated with the movie, and it's this weird lip stain stuff. Apparently, you have to shake it up (and it's apparently supposed to signify the blending of the human and vampire worlds....no lie....rofl), and then apply to your lips. It's had really mixed reviews that make me laugh. For the most part, I've read that it'll burn your lips off (the red is apparently cinnamon)....but I have also read reviews by young girls that have Twilight sleepovers/fashion shows where they dress up in all of their Twilight clothes, watch the movies, obsess over it all, and then put the Lip Venom on each other....apparently, it's ok if it burns your lips off...as long as it's Twilight. See...here is where I get really concerned about all the 10 year-olds and their craziness. (I know, it's bad enough that I'm almost 25, but I console myself with the fact that I'm by FAR not the oldest of the age categories that like the stuff....though I must admit that I STILL get the heebie jeebies by all of the old women that ask Taylor Lautner to sign their thongs...SICK....*gags* Poor kid...traumatized for life...) I know a lady that took her 8-year old to see it....she saw it first and then took her daughter, because it's "basically Christian". Umm, no. Although I think it has some positive attributes, I don't think it's appropriate for 8-year-olds who don't understand the concepts in the book, and I certainly don't think it's "basically Christian." Oh yeah....remember that time when Jesus told the people to read Twilight? No? Hmmm....guess you're not going to Heaven. *insert sarcasm here*
I think I've babbled long enough....I will, however, warn you that the closer we get to New Moon, the crazier I may become. I was even thinking about posting at least one Twilight/New Moon/Cast pic every day (or at least every entry), but we'll see....
Also, I've decided to copy KK and start another blog...this one will be for my crazy Entertainment'ish stuff/random thoughts, and the other one will be of a more serious nature....
The new one has already been created at: http://becauseofhisinfinitegrace.blogspot.com/
But there's nothing there yet...I'll be getting to it soon, though :)
Anyway...here's a fun pic that I found yesterday....
It's from this year's Comic-Con...and given Rob's facial expression and Taylor's laughter, I would LOVE to know the question that was asked/comment that was made that was able to procure such a wonderful picture. Love it!
Well I hope you have a safe and uber fabulous time with some old but great friends. I will try not to be offended but hey I know I am the honorable one who gets to scream with you opening night...WOOHOO!!!!
