charlie gave me a cookie bouquet for christmas today... it's so cute. i think i got it because he hounds on me to do graphics stuff for him, even thought i'm not a graphics person. i always do it, with just a little bit of crap. he is fun to tease. the bouquet has bears and trees and christmas tree ordiments in a red bucket. it's so cute, and so thoughtful! yeah! presents! … [Read more...]

so apparently mar and i are going to bury the hatchet. it is christmas. i guess i shouldn't be mad anymore. i mean really. she is my sister, right? she sent me an aim asking me if i had someone to shop with on the 26th. we always go shopping on the 26th.

NOT. i told her i had been waiting for her to ask me. she asked why i haden't asked. i said i was a loser... but thats not true. i was waiting for her to do it. it's her … [Read more...]

i always thought it was cool that men could just pull over, put their dick in a bottle and pee... right there in the car. i mean really. do you know how many gross bathrooms we women pee in every year because bottle pee'ing really isn't an option for us. there has been many a road trip that i've been on where i wished i didn't have to go in the rest stop... but i never thought about what happened to these bottles after the men pee in them. had you? apparently, men all over the country are … [Read more...]

my vice president decided that she couldn't handle the pressure anymore and has gone out on sick leave. this is the woman who got me this job... and was working to get a in range progression for me (in laymen terms a raise). honestly, i'm a bit saddened by this. i don't think the muckety mucks at this university appreciated what they had, or they took advantage of it. either way, it sucks. lately i've been in this "friend" limbo at work. apparently, my level is too high to be friends with … [Read more...]

let me preface this by saying that i didn't watch all the average joe's, just some of them. the more i watched, the more i thought... hey maybe this girl isn't just another one of those pretty girls that makes the rest of us look bad. when they put her in the "fat" suit, i was thinking, maybe she can see how superficial she is... i thought it had worked. let me just say, i was wrong. this uber romantic boy, with a good heart and a smile that lights up the room, was let go why? because … [Read more...]

i'm dying to spill about my weekend with the boy, but i'd really like to give it the time to do the story justice. i don't know if that is going to happen before i go home tonight. i hope it does, but i just don't think so. work is finally starting to be busy. THANK GOD. i'd been so tired of coming to work and doing nothing. now, i've got little projects, and a launch on the way. YEAH WORK! anyway, watch for some boy comments later on tonight. i've got a ton to say. … [Read more...]
