My Brain in Bullet Points

Posted by me on March 17, 2009

  • This morning my mom’s decorator was at our house. I used to work in her design shop so we kinda go way back. She said I look fab and should consider modeling. I pointed out that although my heels are 5 inches, I’m still only 5′4 in real life. She made a little pish posh sound and said there was a niche out there for me, like hair or face modeling or something. Then she said I better get on it before I get too old. Great. That’s just great. I was beaming and now all I can think about is how in a few years I may turn into a prune.
  • Last night I reached for my water and almost knocked it over but I thought I had saved it. Fail. A minute later my clock starts acting possessed and playing random radio music really loud. None of the buttons work, my clock is dripping water and is slightly sparking. I had to unplug it to kill it.
  • My perfect lil dog’s breath is starting to smell bad =( He licked my nose last night and I smelled poo for 30 minutes straight. This makes me very sad. Does brushing their teeth make a difference? He’s only 3 years old!
  • I realized I have zero “grown up stuff” to decorate my new office with. I don’t even know what “grown up stuff” really is. I just know what it’s not. Like, it’s not a collage of pictures of me and my friends at different parties along with concert tickets and sporting event tickets, it’s not a framed poster of Hawaiian pipeline, and it’s not an awesome picture of me pretending to be the girls next door that I printed from face in hole… So far I have a calendar up… that’s literally it.
  • I’m going to make a Fuckit List. And I’m really pumped about it. I’ll post it as I come up with it and then post the whole thing. #1. Rush hour traffic; fuckit. #2. Boyfriend; fuckit. It’s awesome you guys should def make one.

Planets and Arkansas Come Together

Posted by me on January 6, 2009

2:00 in the afternoon. Yet to really do much of anything at work despite the voice in my head telling me I should really buckle down and just do it. Well that’s false, I’ve done a lot at work, it’s just not work related. I’ve read countless blogs, played online games, and debated whether or not I feel like writing a post today. Evidently I do. I also read my horoscope for January and never really noticed how scientific horoscopes try to be. Example:

Your life is changing quite dramatically for the better, dear Gemini. Jupiter, planet of happiness, expansion, and good fortune, will now move into Aquarius for the first time since 1997 on January 5. Jupiter will stay in this sign for a year, until January 18, 2010.

Now that Jupiter will be in fellow air sign Aquarius, you will have more support from Jupiter than you’ve had in a very long time. The difference will soon become deliciously obvious as you go through your New Year – everything will be so much easier for you to achieve because the environment around you will be so much more supportive. You’ve labored through the trenches, but finally you’ll get help from VIPs and influential friends and you’ll be able to achieve your aims. In short, you are about to enter a much sweeter, softer phase.


the universe will send you a very positive, friendly eclipse, also in Aquarius, on January 26. This eclipse will open a door very wide in this very same area that we’ve been discussing: communication, travel, commerce, pursuits for higher education, the courts, and so forth.

This solar eclipse will fall very close to Jupiter, and also on that day, Mercury, your ruler, will conjoin Venus, a planet not only associated with pleasure, but also with money. One way or another, you seem to benefit financially from all that will be going on in this realm.

Well I feel super important. I even noticed while reading that the difference will soon be deliciously obvious and that the universe is going to send me a friendly eclipse that the crinkle I get between my eyebrows when I’m stressed or worried or bored or concentrating slowly faded and I smiled. Yes I smiled because I adore the use of the word delicious and because I always knew the universe knew how important I was. Now an eclipse to prove it. I hope it’s as bad ass as the Twilight book because if it’s not I’m afraid that I am going to be sorely dissapointed on January 26th. Which is a MONDAY btw. Does anything good/cool/amazing ever happen on Mondays? After football season I mean. No it does not. This brings the worry wrinkle back.

I just took a quiz for fun at Find Your Spot. A website that matches you with compatible cities should you want to move somewhere. Guess what my top 5 were?

1. Las Vegas, Nevada ~ The entertainment capital of the world.

2. Honolulu, Hawaii ~ America’s Tropical Paradise.

3. Baton Rouge, Louisiana ~ The Cajun Capital.

4. Little Rock, Arkansas ~ Where America Comes Together.  (I shit you not)

5. Charleston, South Carolina ~ Cosmopolitan Southern City.

They give you 25 top cities but I thought 5 gave you a good gist of things. I couldn’t get over the fact that Vegas was number one until I was writing them out and realized that Little Rock’s Slogan is Where America Comes Together. Do we all share a cigarette after too? And why the Fuck would anyone wanna move to Arkansas anyways??? So I click on Arkansas b/c I can’t believe it made the top 5.

Did you know that all maybelline products are made there? I did not. Did you know that Little Rock is where they shot Gone With The Wind? I should have known that but still, no I did not. The rest of the “Move to Arkansas you’ll love it” page talks about the pretty trees and skyline and how modern yet classic the city is. Interesting, I didn’t know that either. Nor do I really care. You border Mississippi, Arkansas! You’re dead to me. You are the rat and Mississippi is the sewer. You can both rot in the southernmost pits of hell for all I care.

Georgia however, Georgia I love. I was very surprised not to find Atlanta on my list. Maybe it’s destiny that it’s not there. Destiny is an awful word. Maybe it’s better that it’s not there. Too many ex’s in Atlanta anyways. Wouldn’t wanna run into any of them. Really I wouldn’t. I cringe at the thought and my crinkle is back again. I’m sick of gchating. I just want to move to #2 but it’s too far away. I wish I was Hawaiian. Then I’d look ethnic too. I’ve always wanted to look ethnic.

I See You’ve Already Met The Twins

Posted by me on November 11, 2008

ima1ges1

I was reading someone Else’s blog and found their latest post really interesting. So I’m stealing the idea. Yes, I am an idea thief (as well as the devil).

I’ve always been very into Star Signs and Astrology. Mostly because I think I am the Cooolest sign there is (Gemini) and the Gemini description and characteristics completely suit me. I am the epitome of a Gemini. And I love it.

What’s it like to be and date a Gemini? I’m SO glad you asked! Let me tell you ;-) I stole this from an article someone wrote about dating (and breaking up with) a Gemini. It’s awesome so I’m quoting it.

One of the things about dating a Gemini is they look around a lot on a date. This is while you’re talking, I mean. Don’t be confused: they’re looking for someone more interesting than you. And you shouldn’t take it personally, because it has nothing to do with you. Even if you are the most interesting person on the planet, they’ll still need to check every minute to make sure. It’s your job not to smack them or get emotional about this, sheesh.

Damn, that is so true. AND I just figured out how to type in color!!!! YESSS! So excited haha. Ok more article…

That’s not what did us in though. It was superficiality vs depth.

Gemini lives on the surface, very much like a butterfly flitting, and this is how it should be. Should a butterfly only flap their wings half as often? Of course not.

I am perfectly aware of my superficiality. Now on to random Gemini quotes and thoughts.

Nothing scares a Gemini more than commitment and they
tend to like variety more than sharing deep emotions with
others.

Things You’ll Need for a Gemini date:

* Ball Game Tickets
* Concert Tickets
* Dinner Reservations
* Sporting-event Tickets

That’s so true too!! The way to my heart is definitely paved with tickets and reservations. Bravo.

Understand that Geminis are freedom-loving and will not be forced into a traditional role. It may take time for your date to even appear truly interested in you.

Are you starting to get the Gemini Qualities?

Keep in mind that Geminis see all sides of an argument. They are quick-witted and curious, although they may seem baffling or illogical. Get used to it!

Be creative and have fun! The worst thing you can do to a Gemini is be boring.

images

And I think I’ll end with this one, It’s a little long but my it’s my favorite article about Gemini’s

Curious Gemini loves secrets, but you don’t really stay with any subject long enough to dig into its deepest mysteries, and that includes the subject of yourself. As Mercury’s first child, you already know that one of your strengths is quick-wittedness. You’ve been talking your way into and out of trouble since you were a toddler. Great promoters like Donald Trump, talkers like Bob Hope, politicians like Mario Cuomo and tale-spinners like Dashiell Hammett are examples of Gemini glibness.

Your magical ability to switch selves when the need arises is a real power tool. Those who’ve seen Gemini do this are amazed. If one part of you becomes depressed, disillusioned or ill, you just get rather quiet and withdrawn for a bit, and then, voila! A little while later, you are spotted back in action, smiling and fully functional. If questioned about the former negative condition, you may look blank for a moment, as if trying to remember, before answering: “Oh, that. I’m fine now, thanks.” If we all had another self to slip into when life got tedious or troublesome, we’d all stay as young of body and mind as Gemini does.

Another secret strength is your perceptiveness. Many Gems have telepathic powers, and nearly all have the ability to size up a situation instantly, taking in information at a lightning pace and adding up the factors to attain an instant, and accurate, assessment even of unfamiliar circumstances and conditions. This talent, along with your ability to see everyone’s point of view, gives you the advantage in sales and public relations positions. You’re quite psychic. You must tune in and tap this inner power that the planets are making available to you, however.

The flexible willow withstands the storm, while the mighty oak is broken by the high winds. Your adaptability is one of your greatest secret strengths, just as changing conditions in the job and financial areas of your life have kept you hopping.

It must be admitted that some of the world’s great con artists are born under the sign of Gemini. Another strength is the power of the fast getaway. Your ex-lovers will attest to your ability to dematerialize. And when you think about it, who needs brawn when you can disappear into thin air?

Your genuine love of learning may be your greatest secret strength of all. Because you remain fascinated by all there is to know, you simply forget to grow old and stiff. “Set in your ways” is a concept alien to Gemini. What in youth was a troublesome restlessness (some called you unreliable) becomes a magnificent resilience in age. You retain your mental faculties and are a treasure to your loved ones as you grow older.

If your adversary is a Gemini, cultivate the ability to outwait or outlast them. In negotiations, the stall routine will drive them wild. Let them talk until they have exhausted their ability to concentrate on the subject at hand, and then make your move. In business competitions, they are great at promoting new ideas, selling and advertising, but their management style is sometimes their undoing – they’ve been known to over borrow and overextend themselves, with too many irons in the fire and a tendency to try to handle everything personally, instead of delegating to experts.

If you’re competing for the attention of a love interest, try calling the object of your affection on an evening when you know a date with Gemini is scheduled. If your love answers, you’ll know that Gemini’s tardiness gives you a chance to move in sympathetically and win the day.

Geminis slip easily through the fingers of those who try to capture or ensnare them. Never count them out, no matter how down they are. The recuperative and the bounce-back ability of Gemini is limitless. If you make the mistake of taking the victory for granted after you’ve won a few battles, you are in for a surprise. Their learning ability is also limitless. You only get to use a trick once, because Gemini catches on and will catch you the next time. Remember that Mercury, for all its slippery inconstancy, is an elemental substance – it retains its basic nature under any conditions.

So if you didnt know me yet. Now you have to have a pretty good idea. That was fun, now I have to get back to work

I’m a hot mess

Posted by me on October 31, 2008

From reading other peoples blogs I’ve realized that not only am I all over the place (adult ADD is such a bitch) but I’m also not that interesting about 90% of the time. Damn. Time for a change obviously. I’ve decided I’m going to have to go against my rule of not talking about boys on my blog. Boys make life interesting, haha. and rules were made to be broken ;-)

Today is my favorite holiday.. HALLOWEEN!! I’m sure there will be lots of stories to tell after tonight and tomorrow night. My costume is below. I’m so excited!

You have the right to remain silent

You have the right to remain silent

Today is the last day of Hurricane season (or tomorrow…) so thats the random fact of the day.

In case you were curious… Hurricane names.

Posted by me on September 3, 2008

I just read my post about hurricane names and last night I did a bunch of research on it. I dont know why, HUrricanes are really cool to me. and im thinking of moving to key west so i was looking at their history. So, there has never been a Hurricane Heather, ever. There are 6 lists of 21 names that they recycle every six years, so this years list (like hurricane Hanna) wont be used again for 6 more years. UNLESS the hurricane is so damaging and costly that it would be considered in bad taste to reuse the name because of peoples bad memories of the storm. like Katrina… that name is now retired. there are 67 hurricane names that are now retired. SO im excited b/c im hoping Hanna is gonna be HUGE. Go on Hanna, be catastrophic. Then maybe it will be my turn when they replace the girl H name. I know thats awful but I just want a Hurricane named after me, is that so wrong? and if Hanna was really bad it would completely ruin my families beach trip next week, so that kinda sucks. but whatev, ok back to work.
