NO DON’T BE SAD!!! This is a really really happy day! This is the last post on this blog site… and it’s probably gonna suck so don’t get too excited about it- but DO get excited about my new site!!! It has all the same old posts (I imported them) and a sick new design. The best part?? It’s at my own domain!!! YAYYYY!
Time For Some Crazy New Shit
So I hate to say this but stop following this feed =( and start following the new blog feed right now! =) It’s the same me only… *brighter*- and maybe a little more organized and accomplished. It’s official y’all. It’s officially official.
Help me Help me Help me!!! It’s my new blog site. I think I finally found a theme I love and I want your input.CHECK OUT MY NEW BLOG PULEASE
Ok. I’m obviously not really posting stuff there yet but I realllly wanna start asap. But I really wanted y’alls opinion first. Yay. I’m nervous and excited. Ok gotta go get ready and go out! Have an awesome weekend!!!!
I’ve had so much going on and on my mind recently. Let’s do it in bullet points.
BFF hates me. I haven’t talked to her in almost 2 weeks. Uber long story- as far as I can tell it all stems from hockey. Seriously. One minute I’m happy go lucky getting super into Caps hockey and loving all over it; the next minute BFF is pissed as hell at me for going to a game and I’m confused like whoa wondering what I did wrong. I def thought she would have called by now so I would say this is looking really bad. I could write a really long post all about the fight and what’s been going on since then- and I did I just didn’t publish it. It was just too much. I can’t believe it’s come to this. I never ever thought my best friend would disown me based on her belief that I’m a bandwagon fan. It’s totally unreal. I have no idea what to do.
On that note- Caps choked in game 7 vs the Penguins. I was there. It was awful. Gut-wrenching. I could go on forever about how bad it was. All the stress and buildup of the playoffs ended in the Caps just basically not showing up for the most important game thus far. It ended in tears; literally for me. It was uplifting to cheer on our team and show our love and support though even after they totally bombed the game. I can’t wait for next season. When does bandwagon fan just become fan? Just curious.
After the game I had the best night of my life. Best. Night. Ever. Hands down. It was insane and didn’t end till 5:30 am. I could write a whole post about this too. I probably will soon. Small snippet- I go to smoke a cigarette and find myself face to face with Ovechkin. Seriously. I froze at the top of the steps basically blocking the entrance and gaped at him. I still had my Caps hat on b/c my hair was atrocious and he glanced at it and then goes, “Hey, sorry about the game.” I swoon and try to compose myself. I could think of nothing better to say than, “You don’t have to apologize!!” That’s it. Thank God I didn’t blurt out some of the other stuff that was running full speed through my brain like, “I love you!” or “Holy fuck you’re hot” or “Love Hot Sex Want Amazing Wow Omg” Etc. Then I realized I was still gaping and swooning and blocking the entrance so I moved aside- totally stunned. From there it only got better. Not in the “love hot sex want” category- sadly; but it was in the “my life fucking rocks” category. Oh and I got so wasted I left my phone at the bar. Go me. I still don’t have it… trying not to freak out. Totally worth it.
I lost my voice from screaming at the game. It still hasn’t come back to me. I sound like shit. Staying up till 5:30 am did not help my voice at all. I’m hoping I sound more raspy sexy than man-ish. The lack of voice would have interfered with my awesome night but alcohol came to the rescue! Yaaayyy alcohol!
I just got a new boss. It’s a woman. Fml. She starts on Monday and my life as I know it may be over. Sigh.
Kenny Chesney concert coming up on the 22nd!! I’m sooo excited! Kenny concerts are thebomb.com.
Fringe is over for now =( the last episode was incredible with a capital I. I loove the direction the show is going! If you don’t watch Fringe- you need to jump on the bandwagon now. You wont regret it.
My alleged allergies are killing me. Alleged b/c I’ve never had allergies before but this year I seem to have developed them- bad. Allergies are AWFUL. How do people put up with this shit?!? Ughhh!
I ordered the hottest lbd from bebe.com on Monday night. Check. It. Out. Payed way too much for it. Don’t even care. I can’t wait to wear the hell out of it.
HOTNESS
There’s more but that’s all I got for now. Promise to write on a much more consistent basis. =) Yay for Friday tomorrow!
Where the heck do I start? I have so much to do right now that blogging may actually be a crime but it’s been way too long. I seriously can’t hold everything in anymore and I’m gonna start forgetting key things if I don’t get at least some of it down in writing. Some things I’m going to have to be a bit vague about for the sake of peoples privacy and for that I’m sorry.
Let’s start with the most (long-term) exciting thing going on in my life… It’s an awesome freelance job opportunity! When I say awesome I mean completely right up my ally. I am so pumped about this and have a meeting regarding said activities on Wednesday =). YAY for a big breathe of fresh work air!! I know that’s ridiculously nondescript but I don’t feel comfortable saying much more right now. So cross your fingers for me. I’ll obviously still keep the job I have now so this is just for fun, experience and resume building- which is always a good thing.
The most short-term exciting thing going on right now? The Washington Capitals!!! We are kicking New York Rangers ass!! The series is tied at 3-3 right now meaning there is one. game. left. Tuesday (tomorrow) is the end-all, be-all, everything-rides-on-this-all final game in the series and it’s being played here, in DC. Wanna know what I’m doing tomorrow night? Ohhh ya know just chillin AT THE CAPS GAME!!! I’m so excited I literally might die. I’ve never been to a Caps game before and now I get to see them in the playoffs in a super crucial game. My hearts beating double time.
I was watching the Caps game Sunday at a bar in Arlington and met a guy who works for the Caps (convenient eh?). He asked me if I wanted to go with him (free) and I was about to say, “HELLS YES” when BFF put her foot down, hard. She’s been a huge Caps fan for forever. Capitals hockey to her is like Redskins football to me… she would kill me if I went and she didn’t get to. I know this b/c she told me this. And I understand, b/c if it was the Redskins and she was going without me… I’d more than freak. So we worked out a deal where he gave us a free ticket and we split the cost of the other. He also gave me his 30% discount at the Caps merchandise store upstairs so I got jerseys for way less than anyone really ever should =). I’m glowing like I’m pregnant and planned it.
Shit ok, shit. I gtg I’m being beckoned. I’ll write more tonight I have a lot more to talk about.
This is either the stupidest thing I’ve ever done or the smartest. Can’t tell yet. I’ve decided that WordPress.com (though it has been very good to me and introduced me to blogging for which I will forever be thankful) is too restrictive and it’s come to a point where I feel like I am not under creative control of my blog. Control (and now creative control) is my #1 love and I have to have it. Therefor… even though html, css, ftp, dns, bla, bla, bla, and anything related to web design jargon is basically alien to me… I’ve decided to take control of my blog and start hosting my own site.
GASP! I know. But… you don’t know what you’re doing! I know. But, but… how are you going to host your own site if you aren’t fluent in web design? I have absolutely no idea. But I do know that I just spent $100 for a full year of it. So, if I ever had a good reason to learn… this would be it.
Honestly I am freaking out a little bit b/c I don’t want to lose all my previous posts and comments and fuck everything up royally (that would be worst case scenario), but I have a good feeling about this (and that’s not just the xanax talking). I’ve been wanting to learn and do this for a while now and I’m confidant that I will. So I just did it. I’m trying not to think of the cute clothes I could have bought with that $100 and instead think of how this is going to challenge me intellectually and creatively and how much I’ll gain from that (which wouldn’t have come from purchasing clothes). I am super excited.
Bed for now. Tomorrow my work begins. But don’t give up on my blog! (That’s another one of my fears) I’ll still be writing here until I’ve gotten the basics down and I’ll import everything to my new sight asap. Any helpful tips would be highly appreciated. The only local web design ‘friend’ I have is my brothers ex-girlfriend… so I can’t really go to her for help. Even if he said I could ask her I wouldn’t do it; after the way she fucked with my brother… I’d rather not talk to that self-righteous bitch again, esp to ask for her help. Nope, that bridge has long been burned. So I’m on my own.
Wish me luck or give me pointers. I think the new 20somethinginsight is going to be fucking fabulous. I can’t wait to get started!
PS- Tomorrow I’ve got some interesting things to talk about… Ta-Ta for now! =)
So it seems I’m not the only one with Mr. Chris Cooley on the brain. Check it out… seriously, watch it. Watch all of it. And get excited. Best part? Either the picture over the mantle in the beginning (seriously who does that? It’s awesome. I’m def gonna have one when I get married) or the part where he talks about being white; priceless.
I’m speechless. And honestly I feel a little more than silly writing about this. So haters, wipe that judging face off your head b/c aside from speechless; I’m also ecstatic. I’m happier than a Michael Vick pup adopted by a loving family. I’m over the rainbow (no gold in sight yet, but still… being over a rainbow is pretty awesome. The skittles here taste amazing). “Why?” You ask. I’ll tell you why: Tanner Cooley read my blog.
I dunno about you, but it never occurred to me while writing all of my previous posts that anyone and everyone had access to them. I mean, I knew I made my blog open to public search so yeah I guess I knew anyone could read it… and I wanted anyone and everyone to read it. I guess I just never thought that my little blog would pop up on Tanner’s search engine and that he would actually click on the link and read it. But that’s exactly what happened. I’m feeling totally major right now. Tanner, I hope this doesn’t embarrass you… but I’m about to brag on you for a sec. Sorry in advance if you blush; I’m sure you’re an adorable blusher.
Tanner Cooley is Chris Cooley’s younger bro. He lives in the area with his hot lil wife, Kirsten, whom he met while living and going to school in Utah. Tanner is a super blogger. He basically runs The Official Blog of Chris Cooley and he completely runs The Eastern Motors Blog. If you aren’t from around here I doubt you’ll understand the significance of Eastern Motors. If you are from here then you know: At Eastern Motors… Your Jobs Your Credit. Redskins star in hilarious Eastern Motors commercials and get awesome deals on sick cars. Being the Eastern Motors blogger is a really sweet ass job and Tanner is an amazing blogger/writer. Him and his wife also have their own family blog, The Cooley’s, which Kirsten seems to pretty much run but Tanner’s written some posts as well. I obviously did some serious research. He’s a busy busy blogging boy.
Tanner didn’t just read my blog; he actually liked it. He liked it enough to comment on it. I got an email last night on my blackberry about a new comment on my blog but I didn’t check it out right away… I was watching Chelsea Lately. That girl’s hilarious. After the show when I realized nothing good was on TV anymore, I opened the new comment email. Then I almost had a premature heart attack when I saw who the comment was from. I am not ashamed. You would have done the same thing and you know it.
Think about it… How many times have I written about Chris Cooley? Multiple. What is usually the topic of discussion in Chris Cooley posts? My dreams… and how he’s always in them. What do I sound like when you read all my Chris Cooley posts? An obsessed, star-struck Redskins fanatic: Aka the girl version of a tool or maybe something not as harsh as a tool but along the lines of a groupie or schmuck. Schmuck works. I sound like a schmuck. A cute schmuck… but a schmuck all the same.
I don’t even read the comment in the email. I have to see what post he commented on and I’m too flustered to realize that all that info is in the email. I dash to my computer and pull up WordPress. The comment is on Dreams & Reality from March 16. I quickly re-read the whole post to make sure I didn’t write anything completely humiliating. It’s not too too bad. So I read the comment: Tanner loves my writing (say wha?!?), yeah, not done. He also thinks I’m very funny (think of the most smug look you can imagine… and now imagine that look on my face). I wish I could think of a better way to say this… but I cant: I’m on cloud 9.
He also read other posts b/c he’s glad I liked the shorts. I love the shorts. And the hat (1st pic). And the sweatpants. And the Cooley’s for being as cool as I knew they probably were. And thank you Tanner for reading and commenting. You made me smile big time. =) I might still be smiling… but I’m not going to confirm that b/c I don’t wanna sound like a schmuck.
One more thing… Thank you God that my Chris Cooley dreams are never sexual. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Phew. Bullet dodged: Matrix style.
It’s official… no more cubicle! I’m sitting in my new office =) and no I don’t have a window. But I can see through the glass into the office across the hall and it has a window right in my view. So I can just look out that window, so it’s like I have a window. At least my plants are getting sunlight. They’re super happy about it. I actually only have one plant right now, the other died. But I will be getting many more. Maybe even a palm tree. Who knows.
I definitely need to do some organizing and decorating. The walls are pale white and ice cold I’m SO excited. I’m also thinking about new furniture… in a deep cherry wood, and maybe a filing cabinet or a bookshelf or something. I just got all my junk in here so I know it looks a wreck but it’s my wreck, and I love it.
Why do I care about the people who bought houses they can’t afford and spent money they don’t have? I wouldn’t give them a dollar if they asked for it in person… why are you trying to take my money and give it to other people to spend???!? I’m trying to SAVE thank you very much.
Our President must be on massive amounts of anti-anxiety meds.
It’s not his fault. He inherited this shit debt. Obvious answer to ridiculous debt: Spend a shit ton of money (that we don’t have)… WTF is he gonna say in 4 years? “It’s not my fault… this was all your idea?”
“Hippie” leadership makes me wanna throw a Wii controller at Obama’s head the TV.
Please God stop saying, “Create millions of jobs”.
Why does Obama think that the world is a bowl full of cherries? We CANT all get along. It will never ever happen. You sound stupid.
Notice how he doesn’t answer the question… he just goes on a tangent of things that seeeem to be related to the question but aren’t at all.
I didn’t realize the brainwashing effect that GW Bush had over Washington. Now that Obama is in office, “the last 8 years” has become more like a Cult… Who writes this shit? Does Obama realize that doing the complete opposite of whatever Bush would do does NOT mean you’re doing the right/smart thing??? “Bush would hate it” is NOT a good reason to push a bill through Congress asap.
Obama sounds like a Cult leader. A stuttering Cult leader.
People with bad credit are not victims of bad Government… they’re victims of their own irresponsible spending. Since when is it the Government’s job to kiss it and make it better? How does taking from the rich and giving to the stupid fix anything?
This is going to be the next civil war. Seriously people. No joke.
“What we need… is more credit” WHAT!? What we need is a Schoolhouse Rock video about responsible spending and saving. Credit is NOT the answer. Helllllllllo even greater depression.
Go fix Chicago and then get back to me.
A South Carolina High School built in the 1800’s? “Kids still learn here. It’s next to the train tracks and they have to wait for trains to pass to continue teaching.” Um ok… sooooo what’s your point? Historical buildings should be torn down? Kids cant learn in buildings more than 20 years old? We shouldn’t use trains anymore? Why isn’t the county down there putting money into their school systems like ours is? Why can’t Democrats take responsibility for anything?
The Government is there to GOVERN the Nation. Not CHANGE THE NATION.
“Old habits are hard to break”. If Obama didn’t suggest it, it’s an “old habit”. It’s not cool. This Government only does what’s cool.
It’s starting to sound like Obama (not Congress, the House) runs the United States of America. Jesus Christ we’re doomed. Maybe Germany will bail us out in a few years. Now that would be irony.
“Eternal optimist”… Me too… Does that make me a good National leader????
More questions now than I had before. I wish I could call Obama directly and say,”I know what you’re trying to do. And it’s stupid. It’s not going to work so STOP it. I think you’re more suited for legalizing marijuana; NOT saving the world. Two years ago I didn’t believe the world was going to end in 2012… now, thanks to you, I can totally see that happening. You’re ruining half of America’s life. Screw the other half, they ruined there own lives. You cant make everyone happy. A good re-election strategy is to keep the wealthy happy. Just so you know. God help us (and NO by God I do NOT mean you).”
10:48 PM. The Russian just texted me back… twice. He wants to get together for coffee after work tomorrow or whenever I’m available. Putting aside the cliche-ness of getting together for coffee, I’d call this complete success. No guy facebook stalks a girl, sends her a message and then texts her back wanting to hang out to talk about one of her friends. (If this happens though I will definitely be blogging about it.) So I guess I’m excited.
I dunno, guys don’t really excite me anymore it’s just not as fun as it used to be. I haven’t even texted him back yet. It’s like no guy is good enough. Isn’t that sad? Like I’m Arphrodite or something (aspiring maybe?). I have got to get famous boy out of my head asap. I’ve done really good and haven’t texted him in over a month but I guess I’ve gotta come to terms with the fact that he’s just not that into me. I haven’t had to deal with that since I was like 15. And all those boys I used to “love” are now mediocre 27 year-olds who would love to date me and are pretty chubby to be honest with you.
But famous boy… he was like, it. Ya know? Fuckin Fuck man. This sucks. It’s so me… (high whiny voice) “But I want the one I cant haaaaaave!!!”
NO DON’T BE SAD!!! This is a really really happy day! This is the last post on this blog site… and it’s probably gonna suck so don’t get too excited about it- but DO get excited about my new site!!! It has all the same old posts (I imported them) and a sick new design. The best part?? It’s at my own domain!!! YAYYYY!
I’m SO excited. I’m also thinking about new furniture… in a deep cherry wood, and maybe a filing cabinet or a bookshelf or something. I just got all my junk in here so I know it looks a wreck but it’s my wreck, and I love it.
