Hungover today and more drinkin' tonight
So I'm actually contemplating going out, as much as I don't want to. I'd rather stay home with J (yes, I'm not going to refer to him as "Q.T." anymore) and watch movies and get wasted (I'm such a lady lol).

Fun day at work...
Ok going to take another break lol. BRB
Tuesday, January 25, 2005
Been busy lately
- Work and school...work is ok, can't complain, doesn't help. School is great. Lots of reading this semester. Not too many books, but I'm already in the hole from buying the few that I did. My photography professor is one of the most amazing men I've ever laid my eyes on. It's going to be hard to concentrate in that class. *sigh*...he's dreamy. Anyway:
- "Q.T." McNotSoNewGuy came over on the 19th and hung out with me and my crazy roommates and neighbor watching Lost. Then, ya know, we hung out alone for awhile.
- Started school on the 20th, but I've already mentioned how school is going, so moving right along:
- Had this past weekend off to do bridesmaid stuff...IN THE BLIZZARD! Picked out a dress for the wedding and bounced...took almost an hour to get home from Morris Park, when it is about a 15 minute ride...Sharon, Sara, Alia, her beaker, I mean, boyfriend, Don, and Dana were in my house when I got there. They were all laid up on the couches, watching movies and eating. Of course, I was the first one to crack a brew. That was at 2pm and I didn't stop drinking until about 2am. "Q.T." came over around 8pm (did I mention that it was snowing like no one's business outside? I mean he drives a Jeep, but damn) and watched movies and TV with us, played UNO, then we cuddled for awhile and went to sleep. Had the most amazing time with him. My roomies all love him, think he's fantastic and completely insane for tolerating our crazy tendencies everytime he comes over. He doesn't let me lift a finger and will str8 up, get up and get everyone beer or whatever from the kitchen. He's great...moving along:
- Went shopping on Sunday with Sharon & Sara, ate @ Applebee's and went home to watch football and drink beer...go Patriots!!! woohoo!!
- Monday, school and work. Had to deal with some drama since I wasn't in this past weekend, but I dealt and just chilled until 12a, came home, watched Law & Order until 2am, went to sleep and woke up @ 7am to go to class today. Photography around 9a and Cpu & Culture @ 11:50a. Then came home to contemplate my dire need for dinero. I get paid on Thursday, so it's all good, but I have to buy MAD shit for Photography class and it's going to cost me 2 arms and a leg. *sigh* some more...
- But the plus side is that "Q.T." might come over tonight if he can grade midterms early enough. We shall see...
Ciao!

A quote...

Sooo...
Being the kind of girl that I am, I won't be calling "Q.T."...I'll let him call me. But hopefully, he'll call early in the week so that I can see him before we both start school. I didn't ask him when he starts, though I imagine it'll be this week, like me. Anyway--the more I talk about him, the more I realize that, as usual, I'm putting my foot in my mouth because nothing I get myself involved in ever works out, but I'm hopeful. He brought a Livestrong bracelet to my house when he picked me up on Wednesday. I lost mine (and was sooooooo upset about it) the first time we hung out at the end of December...well I didn't lose it while I was with him, but earlier that day or even the day before while I was in Brooklyn. Anyway, so yea, I was all giggly that he remembered. And I made him the CD I promised him the last time we hung out and played pool and he really liked it. So we're off to a good start. But neither of us are looking for anything serious...well, I'm not closed off to the idea, but I'm not screaming for a boyfriend after 3 weeks of dating either. So we'll see...
Ciao!
Ugh...Personnel issues...
Friday night...
- Hung out with "Q.T. McNewGuy" this past Wednesday. OMG he is so fabulous. I like him alot and according to well placed sources (i.e. the fiance of the friend that hooked us up a.k.a. "Q.T."'s best friend), he likes me too. I was told other things as well, but I'd rather keep some secrets for myself ;-). "Q.T." told me some interesting things about himself, again, things I'll keep to myself ha ha!! But, I've found a dude that not only doesn't mind reality tv, but LIKES it (well, some of it). We watched movies at my house, but more importantly, watched the 1st episode of the "Surreal Life" with Mini-Me and that washed-up, doped out has been, first winner of "America's Next Top Model". If you haven't seen it, please see it at some point when VH1 re-runs it. Mini-Me gets drunk and naked and I almost pissed on myself watching it with "Q.T." & my roommate.
- Work is going well. I love my new responsibilities. Hate my hours though, but I'll get around that eventually. Either that or I'll make someone a night owl ...
- My parents are officially home owners. They closed on their townhouse today and move in next week. I cannot possibly express my joy in words!!
- School starts on the 20th, and I'm super-excited. "Q.T" registered for grad school, so I guess...well, I suppose we'll have to work out a way to hang out.
Ok, I'm sure there is stuff that I'm forgetting, but I think these pills are kicking in. I wanna get to work by 10am tomorrow so I can leave at 10pm, so I gotta get to bed.
Ciao!

Nothing much to report...
School starts on the 20th! I am excited. Last semester seemed to have flown by, but that's pretty much only because I spent so much time at home. I'll miss having random days off, but I have to do what I have to do!
I'm sure I'll be bored later, so I'll post something else soon...

Details...
I WIILL say this though: Played pool (I lost...but I wasn't TOO far behind!!), went to 2 bars, laughed alot and had a really good time. No need for details beyond that. Our schedules are going to be super hectic for the next few months (b/c I'll be in school and working and he'll be working during the day and going to grad school at night)...so I don't even know when we're going to hang out again. I may have to corrupt him and make him go out on a ... weeknight!!!! Lol.
p.s. Go here. Funny as allllllll hell

You know what I haven't said in awhile...
Another random "get to know me" Q&A
IF YOU COULD BUILD A HOUSE ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Hawaii. I’ve never been there but it sure looks beautiful in pictures!
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ARTICLE OF CLOTHING? Hmm…all of my shoes!
FAVORITE PHYSICAL FEATURE OF THE OPPOSITE (or TARGET) SEX? I like how this question is phrased. Hmmm…my favorite feature on a man is his lips…more intimately…the dents from his pelvic bone. Favorite feature of a woman would have to be the dip between her back and her butt.
THE LAST CD YOU BOUGHT? Shit…I haven’t bought a CD in a while. Um…dang. I would have to say Puddle of Mud…but I could be wrong.
WHERE'S YOUR LEAST FAVORITE PLACE TO BE? Work! Natch!
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO BE MASSAGED? All over.
WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT, STRONG IN MIND OR STRONG IN BODY? Strong in mind, without a doubt.
WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING? 11am if I don’t have to work that day. 10am if I do. Lol…probably 10am for school.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE KITCHEN APPLIANCE? I don’t like cooking, but since I have to eat SOMEHOW, I guess the George Foreman grill.
WHAT MAKES YOU REALLY ANGRY? Blatant ignorance and inconsideration.
IF YOU COULD PLAY ANY INSTRUMENT, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Piano or electric guitar.
FAVORITE COLOR? I have a few. Black, b/c it’s slimming…and I like pink too…and blue…lol.
WHICH DO YOU PREFER, SPORTS CAR OR SUV? Both…sports car in the summer and SUV in the winter.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN AFTERLIFE? Not really, but haven’t given it an exorbitant amount of thought.
FAVORITE CHILDREN'S BOOK? Um…damn. Cinderella is the safe answer, but I was into some weird books when I was younger. Christopher Pike shit. I started reading at an early age.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON? Fall and spring. Not too cold, not too hot.
IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE? The ability to heal the pain of others.
IF YOU HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT IS IT? Shit. I’ve got 7. Here goes:
- Neck: Ohm symbol, tribal and fire
- Right shoulder blade: “My brother’s keeper”
- Left arm: Kanji for ‘beautiful’
- Left thigh: A dove
- Left ankle: A phoenix with red tipped feathers (to symbolize the pyre)
- Left breast: Japanese symbol for heart
- Right breast: Japanese symbol for serenity
CAN YOU JUGGLE? My response to this involved 2 balls, but you readers have dirty minds, so I won't answer!
THE ONE PERSON FROM YOUR PAST YOU WISH YOU COULD GO BACK AND TALK
TO? No one. No regrets.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE DAY? My birthday.
WHAT'S IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR? The better question is: “What is NOT in the trunk of your car?” because my answer would be shorter. For space’s sake, I’ll recount what I saw when last I looked: A shower curtain, paints, brushes, an easel, a pair of sweatpants, about 4 jackets, 2 sweaters…you get the idea.
WHICH DO YOU PREFER, SUSHI OR HAMBURGER? Ugh, no contest…SUSHI!!!!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CARTOON? SOUTH PARK!!!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEAL? Anything my Mom cooks…or SUSHI!!!
IF YOU COULD ONLY CHOOSE ONE FANTASY SERVANT, WHO WOULD IT BE (CHAUFFEUR/GARDENER/COOK/MASSEUSE/OTHER)? Well, in a few years, this will be reality, but I’d have to say, a masseuse…or masseur!! Ooohhhhhhhh
Blah blah blah...
Usually, when I talk about something it gets fucked up. Like the whole E thing. Oh boy, was that just a mess. Well, not a mess so much, but more of a disappointment. I talked that up way too much and he ended up being a flake. BUT! I will say, that since my cousin and her fiance hooked us up, "Q.T. McNewGuy" and I might fair a little better. He just happens to be one of the most polite and kind people I've ever met. Chivalrous like you wouldn't believe! And did I mention that his body is bananas to the point that my cousin's fiance pulled me to the side @ Slate the night I met him and was like "Yo, he has a six pack, too"...I was like "OMG, I don't care about that!"...and I don't. I mean, it's HOT to look @ a dude with a banging body, but that doesn't factor into whether I dig him or not. Not to compare, but E was wicked skinny, I mean, NO body, and I liked him. The drunk surgeon had a smokin' body too, but he turned me off b/c the 1st time we met up, I brought my supervisor @ the time and Twin to the bar he was at with his friends, and he was WASTED. NOT a good first impression. I never called him again. So, I mention all of that to say that appearance is not a factor when deciding whether or not I want to date someone. It HELPS, but it is not CRUCIAL! So, it HELPS that he is gorgeous and has a ridiculously hot body...AND he is smart and sweet and funny. I think I'm a little excited about our date tomorrow. I was a little tipsy at Slate the first time we met, but I guess I made a good impression because he called me a week later to hang out...and that night was fun. So the 2nd date is important lol. I might just get my hurrrr did! Lol
Ciao!

Today is a good day...
Tuesday, January 04, 2005
Ugh...
Diet is going well, end of the second day. Lots of protein and no caffeine! I mean it! NO COFFEE. And I've had soooo much energy. I'm eating smaller meals more often throughout the day. No juice, no alcohol (gasp!)..."Q.T" knows that I can't drink for the next 6 weeks, so hopefully, he'll plan something nonalcoholic for us to do on Friday...we'll see!
Ciao!

New Year's Eve / New Year's Day pictures
This is the firehouse in which the party was held:

CFD!!:

Me, cheesing...:

Me in my roomie's fiance's helmet:

Me, riding shotgun...well we didn't move anywhere, but still...:

This is the party aftermath, January 1st:

Me, on the fire pole:

Me, in cutie fireman's hat:

Fuckin' email...
Other than that interesting tidbit, nothing else to report. I watched "Garden State" last night @ my neighbor's house, and I must say, I was impressed. Definitely one to pick up @ Best Buy. Very good movie. It has an indie feel to it, but very well done. After that, I came home and relaxed. I downloaded a bunch of Foo Fighters stuff and watched TV. Caught "Runaway Bride" on TBS. I don't think it got good reviews, but I thought it was cute. And Julia Roberts is hot. Anyhoo--nothing else is going on at the moment, but since today is my first full day as supervisor, I'm sure I'll have some shit to gossip about later!
Ciao!
Foo Fighters - Tired of You
I can be your bearer of bad news
Sick and uninspired by the diamonds in your fire
Burning like a flame inside of you
Is this just desire or the truth
So shame on me for the ruse
Shame on me for the blues
Another one returned that I'll never use
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
Hanging on this wire
Waiting for the day where I'll have to choose
Cursed by love so dire
One more boy for hire
One more boy to lend a hand to you
Is this just desire or the truth
So shame on me for the ruse
Shame on me for the blues
Another one returned that I'll never use
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired of you
I can be your liar
I can be your bearer of bad news
Sick and uninspired by the diamonds in your fire
Burning like a flame inside of you
Is this just desire or the truth
So shame on me for the ruse
Shame on me for the blues
Another one returned that I'll never use
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
I won't go getting tired of you
I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired of you
