thank you chelsie for making me watch old gregg! soft creamy beige

herro. i am trying to think of what we did yesterday. it was date night so we went to eat at this mexican place down the way. last time we went we had to wait forever to get eeevvvverything. we are both so passive that we just let it go and waited. when they finally brought whatever we were waiting for at the moment, apologetically mind you, we just laughed and said "awww man, it aint no big thang, haha its okay!". when really we were thirsty and hungry and cranky. it was really good though so we went back. this time i had trouble remembering what i got last time that i loved so much and the server didnt understand just i just really wanted something covered in cheese. bring me a shoe covered in cheese and i will eat it. moving on....we were going to see a movie but every theater was packed and the thought of seeing any of the movies that are out right now make me sick. save ironman. egad, that was a great movie. i would see it again. right now. i think after than we came home. let me get confirmation on that.........................................................................................................................................nope, we went to world market. it was treatie heaven. i got strawbery and litchi gummies, almond crush pocky, 2 coffee mugs, and a pot scrubber. jt got a mix and match 6-pack, 1 of which is mine. a girly pear cider. THEN we went home. we read, watched "old gregg" a million times, drank kool-aid, and read some more. i got a wild hair to watch "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" and since my copy is lost, we went to target to get another. they didnt have it so we went to walmart. walmart didnt have it but they did have an amazing $5 bin going on. we picked out the best of the worst (13 going o n30, my cousin vinny, first blood, the secret window, and meet joe black). the checkouts were backed up so we put them back and left. THEN we went to sonic and got a cup of ice and some food. back home, watched old gregg, did many old gregg impressions, read some more, went to bed.

today i think we are going to grocery shop, mail something, go to the lake and walk, find my movie, read some more, and maybe i will finish my tote bag. i will let you know.

i have nothing else to do but update this thing. i know i have at least 3 people reading so that is enough for me to be on this thing twice a day.

work was actually bearable yesterday. i worked with 2 people that can tolerate me and i think may like me. i felt a little less uncomfortable. there are 2 or 3 people that i feel sad around and i wish they would lay off but i think they will get over it when they see my awesomeness will overpower. moving on. i came home and could not sleep at all. maybe because i drank a giant sweet tea (we have sweet tea now, kill me) and a lemon cookie. i was starving and hoping that jt made something for dinner but he didn't. there is nothing in the house that does not require cooking so i am guessing he just went hungry. plus i told him if he made a mess in the kitchen to clean it up. when i was leaving i said "if you feel squirrely, put the silverware away." he said okay so i said "if you feel even squirrelier, put aaaaalllll of the dishes away" and his reply was, "i think the silverware squirrel will vistit but i don't know about the dish squirrel". hilarious.

i am hungry right now but too lazy to cook anything. you can only eat baked potatoes so many days in a row. i think it is grocery store day. not that i am looking forward to it. i AM looking forward to getting my fabric in the mail today or tomorrow. i am making a quilt in "ugly" shades of green and burnt orange. it will look great, trust me. i think i am actually take my time with it and use the right materials. i may even keep it! we'll see. i want to make something right now.

COME ON!

what was with all of the phone forwards this morning? HOPE RENEE! i know one was you, you forward lover! something about forwarding it to 9 people and then, when you turn your phone off and back on, your background turns into a CASTLE! what the? anything that can do that cant be good for the phone. plus my background is mr. angry napper. hilarious. uhg, i am watching the binge drinking episode of 30 days on hulu. i swear, if i saw the daughter i would punch her. actually i would just say "YOU ARE NOT IMPRESSIVE!". the phrase that i like to say to at least 2 people a day. drunk people get on my nerves like no other. see, now i am mad and this is turning into an angry post.

i am going to talk more about music for a second. i think that the reason my taste in music changed so much is because i went from liking and almost music that talked about being alienated, lonely, unhappy...music that made me thing "hey everything is just as bad as i think it is" to needing something that made me happier and better about life in general. that is just how it is for me, not how it is for everyone. i could go on but i am cleaning up a storm and i really dont want to stop. i know i will not want to clean on my awesome 3 day weekend! anyone want to come to asheville to hang out with me!?!??!?!?!?!!?!!?

i loved my time here, didn't know till i was gone

oh my. i would like to reflect on the first time i saw the avett brothers live. i had just moved to kingsport and it was the first time i was living completely alone. i hated staying there even though the apartment was everything i wanted. i always felt alone and never at home. i would always go to big stone and hang out with anyone that would. ANYWAY, i was coming from big stone one night and every road to my building was blocked. i was on the verge of tears so i just parked randomly and went to see what the heck was going on. it was the free thursday night outside concert shindig in the middle of downtown. i heard the tell-tale whistling into of "at the beach" and i felt so happy. i got closer and realized that it was neither a cover nor a stereo, it was really them! i laughed and screamed without feeling embarrassed at all. it was mostly older people in camping chairs and about 2 dozen younger people in front who knew who they were. it was the tail end of the show but it was the best 15 minutes i have ever spent in kingsport. they played november blue and i teared up and actually had to sit down, it was amazing. i could not have been happier. i went to the soul sucking apartment and though i still didnt feel at home, i didnt hate my situation as much.
the reason i thought of that time was hearing the live version of november blue on pandora. my live volume 2 cd wont play the last half for some reason. i hadnt heard it in a while is the point of that.
after i sent the mixed cd out i thought about how much my taste in music has changed in the past few years. i remember being in middle school and high school thinking that i had such diverse taste in music but i really only liked a certain style. i would always say "i like everything but bluegrass!" which was really not true at all. if that person i was knew that i love a banjo...hilarious. i still like the things i did in the past, i just like more traditional things i guess. i dont know. i like what i like and i dont want to be judge on what i like. not that i dont judge the crap out of people. i like to make fun of the newer music and radio crap but i will admit (most of the time) that it is my opinion and not fact. people are protective of their music. phew. as long as you dont listen to fall out boy i am okay.

do i hear......

Ray Lamontagne has a song on this soundtrack? what was he thinking? "be here now" was going to be on the lil mix cd i sent out. phew.

this movie is killing me. i am a sucker for romantic comedies but the last 2 i have seen, ps i love you and this one, are terrible. not that i was expecting a movie that would change my life and i would go out and buy it. my favorite line so far is when the leading man asks about her needs and she says something to the effect that she has no needs, she is jesus.
