Remember that time I was the shittiest lj user &/or friend ever?
It was called college.
Woops.

But hey, winter break is just around the corner!

My life is interesting at the moment, I think. There're classes in it, which consume a lot of my time with their tedious work and studying. There're naps in it, which consume all the rest. There's a boy in it, and he's great and sweet and cute and comfy but far away and busy a lot of the time and I think I might be head over heels and it's scary and exciting.

Hi everybody. Apartment life is great. And wonderful. And keeping me busy.

We moved in the 23rd of August and had that full week to just move in and set up and get settled in. Then classes started last week on the 31st. I'm slightly behind on reading already and that makes me sad. ...I spend way too much time on the internet and watching tv (surprise, surprise).

But the apartment is so wonderful!!! It's huge (like the kitchen is bigger than mine at home) and the living room and the balcony are great with all the windows. The bedrooms are a little cramped but we can deal. Susie decorated our room by covering one wall with black construction paper and then pages out of calendars with gorgeous landscapes from Ireland, Italy, and the like. It looks so pretty. Don't remember if I mentioned this before (I probably did?) but our (Kathryn, Caitlin, Susie, me) apartment is second floor on the corner of our building and our guy friends (Matt, George, Brady, Tory) are also on second floor and in the corner of their building, which is right across a little courtyard a few yards away. We're super excited to make a tin-can-string phone. :P But till then we've just been going out and yelling and waving to each other, haha. Also they put up their Burger King king mask on the balcony light that faces us. The other girls won't let me put mine up on ours to have a king staring contest because they're so creepy, lmao. There's a picnic table and a grill in the space between the buildings too. I haven't been to the pool + volleyball court or our gym yet but I'm excited to check them out on some weekend, haha. This place is so perfect and everything I could have hoped for.

We had a D2 reunion dinner the first week at this Greek restaurant Plato's nearby and then went to see the other girls' (Morgan, Alex, Telisha, Giuls) apartment. And last night Matt made dinner (lasagna plus brownies) and invited us over. We should return the favor soon I guess (but Susie did make a huge dinner for everybody sometime the first week that I missed while I was at work).
We've also been making new friends here. Our friend Jeff knows the guys who live directly above us so we've partied with them a couple times and baked them a cake and stuff. And our friend Sarah's boyfriend lives in the next building so she's had us over there to visit and meet all their friends and hang out a couple times too. It's been really fun. Also one day this weekend we had like three options of parties we were invited to and were all proud and pleased with ourselves for being so requested and for party hopping even though we only made it to two, hahaha. Ahhh I hope this is as a great a year as it looks like it's going to be. :D


P.S. Every couple days I've been checking my flist here so I haven't been completely MIA even though you didn't know that. :P Don't be offended by my lack of comments, I just have no time! Okay now I have to go do homework. Peace.

Hi.

My computer went crazy last week and would freeze every time I turned it on unless it was in safe mode. We ran basically every scan or check we could find, plus tried deleting/uninstalling Norton and the Liveupdate crap that is all expired and I'm not going to pay for it so why let it pop up every 20 minutes telling me to update it, right? So eventually it got fixed at like 4 in the morning one night. But then my beloved Firefox wouldn't work and I had to use IE for like a week straight and I swear it was even slower than normal with the dial-up. FINALLY last night at 3 or 4 in the morning (yeah thanks for screwing up my sleep schedule so close to school starting...I swear I was doing a lot better this summer) my mom and I made our way to an actually helpful page telling us how to fix it and blah blah firewalls blah blah. Moral of the story is I'm finally back using the internet how I want to. :) And didn't lose all my bookmarks...I was about to freak out if I was going to have to un+reinstall Firefox as a blank slate.

I've also been downloading tons and tons of youtube videos on one of those converting sites. Hooray for free mp3s. But only for the concerts so I can learn songs better. I also have a huge list of more artists to get later...

P.S. This is my fucking favorite new song of the moment. Love it. I'm really excited to go see The White Tie Affair and All Time Low at Six Flags later this month! I still have to figure out who I'm inviting/if anyone from school other than Kathryn actually likes ATL (I think Morgan does) and how we're getting there...I should do that soon.
P.P.S. Seeing Flo Rida there with my sister last week was fun too! I'll update about these things next week because I've given up on any pictures until I'm officially MOVED INTO OUR APARTMENT on the 23rd! Ahhhh I'm so freaking excited!

A little while ago I went with Kathryn and Caitlin on IKEA and Target trips to buy things for our kitchen and everything. It was so much fun. It's too bad Susie lives in Massachusetts so we won't be able to go shopping together for our bathroom and stuff until she comes down for move in. But on that day we also went and sneaked and saw the apartment! I mean not the inside, but we parked and looked around the outside and the courtyard and saw our cute balcony and everything. I want to be there nowwww. omg only six days.

I feel kind of shitty about all the stuff I didn't accomplish this summer in cleaning up the house like I wanted because the babysitting takes up so much time. But then I realize I am the only one who did anything really out of all of us, so good for me. I just really want to get this last bunch of old clothes washed and give them to Value Village and not bother with an unsuccessful yard sale. But there's always an obstacle. And the living at two houses thing got old the first two weeks I was home...I'm really over it and its barrier to getting anything done ever.

I wish photobucket was a fucking person so I could motherfucking murder it.
Okay I take that back. I think it usually behaved itself on campus on my computer.
I wish these work computers were fucking people so I could motherfucking murder them.
Is it really so much to ask to upload some simple pictures so that I can post them without freezing on BOTH Firefox AND Internet Explorer?! Really?!
GAHHHH AN HOUR AN A HALF WASTED. I am so sick of restarting everything!

Some one cheer me up because this is shitty.

Oooh, things that should have been posted the other day but I wasn't online:

lolololol
Long story but I stumbled onto this article:
http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/i-heart-dc/this-wapo-article-about-columbia-heights-makes-me-want-to-throw-up/
which is about hating on this article, which I then went into the living room to get the paper and read because I just had to see what the uproar was about for myself:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/03/AR2009080302815.html

My favorite comment from BYT is the first girl who said the article made her post-quasi-throw up in her mouth. So true. They're all right, it's so shitty! And the one guys says the girl who was interviewed told him the writer never told her what the article was really about or used the word "hipster" once...jeez. (My second favorite comment is the one about getting mugged at the Beltway Plaza Target instead...ahh, home sweet home. P.S. Weird fun story of today: When I went across the street to the Wendy's there to get lunch earlier today I saw my cousin's dad! It was such a surprise. He's cool, though, everybody likes him.)
Anyway, off the terrible writing/reporting and onto the fuckers who are trying to dis Target! No. Just no. Target is wonderful and amazing in every way. Why would you notwant fantastic matching sets of everything? And it is cheap and great, especially when you shop the clearance racks, aka my favorite thing to do.
Also, the whole thing about the guy eating at Ruby Tuesday's because it's ironic and stupid...I thought I was going to post-quasi-throw up in my mouth too. Shutthefuckupyou'reeatingfoodandyou'renotascoolasyouthinkyouare.

Okay it's now 6:59 so I'm going to close up and head off to the Metro and go to my friend Jeff's internship's last-day-everyone-celebrates-and-gets-drunk party. :D Will read flist later, I planned to but then photobucket happened. :( See you guys!

Lit at Santa Fe [3/28/09]
( Pictures )
The opening band was Hotspur and they sounded okay from my seat waiting for the slowest food ever to get to the table and our waitress to never come back with the check. But I was really antsy so we hurried to the stage as soon as we paid, caught the end of their act, and I got up front for Lit to come on. The concert was so great, and they were really energetic. Plus since they could see me singing along I got picks from Jeremy and Kevin. Some d-bag in the crowd threw a bottle that hit A. Jay and it bounced off him and was about to hit me when I caught it. So that was scary. But he held my hand some. :)

Fbook

I hope you all have been enjoying my spree of concerts + celebrity lectures + comedians entries/pics. (I told you I do fun things.) Don't relax so easily, though...I still have more to do. But I figure it's time for a break.

All I want in the world right now is for this Lifehouse album to end. Fuck. I got a lot of music from Matt when he let me use his external hard drive to switch all my stuff from my old computer to the laptop last year. A lot of it has just sat here and I haven't really tried listening to much because I always forget to put music on in my daily life, haha. But now I'm giving everything a chance before I decide whether to keep it or delete. He had four Lifehouse albums. Four. My ears. They're so tired. But this song isn't so bad. I think I kind of like this one.

Somethings I've saved but haven't gotten around to doing till now:

Music Meme from inkmetaphor:
Pick an artist, and using ONLY SONG TITLES from only that artist, cleverly (preferably) answer these questions. If I tagged you it's because I'm interested to see what you come up with. I don't feel like tagging, do it if you want.

That didn't altogether work as well as I was hoping it would. Oh well, some were still good. And it gave me an excuse to listen to Say Anything. ♥ :P

Also we've had some comedians and bands/artists come.

Johnny Walker [11/6/08]
( Pictures )
I know he was really funny. I can't exactly remember his style or the material right now (except for something about a whale and of course Johnny Walker Red because I remember drawing those things)...but I'm about to go to his website again because I know he had a bunch of songs and skits up there and I loved him/them. ♥

Heath McNease [2/19/09]
( Pictures )
He was freaking adorable. He's from Georgia, I think, and is an "acoustic rapper." He did everything from sing pretty acoustic songs to rapping about Nintendo to singing Britney Spears to free-styling about random objects he asked us in the audience to hold up, including some girl's shoe, this guy's Metro SmarTrip card, and my McChicken wrapper, lmao. He was great, I loved it.

Matt Wertz [4/14/09]
( Pictures )
He did a lovely acoustic set and sounded great. I hadn't heard of him beofre but I need to download his stuff now/steal it from Kathryn, it's so pretty. The opening guy was not so much. :\

Tim Meadows [4/20/09]
( Pictures )
This turned out to be less of a stand-up routine and more of a talking about his sex & relationships and ex-wife kind of thing...I don't know...weird. But then he brought two guys from Second City with him!! I was so excited. The improv was good. :)

Zach Galifianakis [4/27/09]
We weren't allowed to take pictures during this one. :\
I had such high hopes because I've been a fan since he was on Tru Calling. And I'd seen him do stand-up (or I guess sit-down because I remember he was at a piano :P ) on one of the late night shows before. But he wasn't very good. And what I mean by that is he was fucking trippin' balls and stoned out of his mind or something. It was kind of all very uncomfortable and he kept rubbing his face like he was exhausted. I dunno. I mean I didn't hate everything, there were some good parts. But a lot was not. :\ I was so sad. I wanted so much to love him even more.

If you'd rather look at little thumbnails than let these load, you can always go to Fbook.

So Maryland is a really great school and SEE (Student Entertainment Events) likes to get people to come talk to us and it's awesome. In the past two years we've had:

Tim Gunn [11/13/08]
( Pictures )
He was really funny and even though I never really watched "Project Runway" (no cable at home but I've seen it at school sometimes when Kathryn and Caitlin have it on) I loved hearing him talk. He was a fun guest and had good answers for the audience.

Dan Savage - sex comlumnist [2/11/09]
( Pictures )
He was so fantastic. I hadn't even heard of him before but my friend Susie and I decided we should go since we like free things and there was a lot of buzz about this. I'm so glad we went. He's such a nice guy and was hilarious. There was one d-bag in the audience who tried to be obnoxious with his questions, but overall people were genuinely looking for answers and asking about his life, haha.

Chef Duff Goldman from "Ace of Cakes" [4/1/09]
( Pictures )
I never watched this show until I came here either (same reason) but the cakes are always SO impressive. This one was no exception, even though we were not any of the lucky few who got to stay and eat a piece. But Duff was a really good guest too! He told us all about how he got his start as a graffiti artist/vandal and then went into cakes, lmao.

Bob Saget, Jamie Kennedy, & Jeff Ross at UMCP [10/25/07]
( Pictures )
Jeff Ross was by far the best comic of the night. He was so good. Jamie Kennedy was coked up and not funny. Bob Saget was pretty good, I guess. I can't remember, I just know that Jeff was the best. But they were pretty good about taking pictures after the show for those of us who waited except that they were in a hurry.

Jim Gaffigan & Rich Brooks at UMBC [10/27/07]
( Pictures )
Yayyy, the second time I saw Jim (and Rich) live! I was so excited and they were still really good, of course. My friend Steve goes to UMBC so he got me student priced tickets and I got Russel to come with me again. Then after the show I met up with Anuj too.

Lewis Black, Greg Giraldo, & John Bowman at UMCP [10/23/08]
( Pictures )
John Bowman was really shitty. He wasn't very funny and he kept fidgeting and picking up and putting down that ukulele and never played a single note. Then after the show he walked past the like ten of us who waited around to the tour bus and didn't say anything. Greg Giraldo was fan-fucking-tastic! He was amazing, so funny. And then he was super nice after the show, as was Lewis Black who also had a really, reeeaally great set. Susie said and I definitely agreed that this was funnier than the last year's show. Anyway, they were both so great afterwards and stayed to take pictures and sign autographs for all of us there.

Stephen Lynch & Rod Cone at UMBC [10/25/08]
( Pictures )
This was honestly one of the most entertaining things I've ever seen. Stephen was soooo good! And the Rod Cone friend guy was pretty funny for the duets, and def drunk and great. They had some banter that was good enough to make you believe they were actually getting into a fight, until he comes back for the reconciliation and their duet of "Purple Rain" that was fucking gold and makes your realize it was all part of the act, haha. You can see this in the pictures.
Also, I got there early because Steve-o had sent me the website of their HC events and I saw this showcase at an art gallery called "The Creative Photograph in Archaeology" and got really excited about it because I'm a huge dork and was taking an archaeology course that semester too. :P So it was pouring rain and we trekked across the campus to the gallery and it ended up being a fancy shindig! oops. So we college kids show up in our wet jeans while other people are dressed nicely...but oh well. I mean we were still respectful and I liked all the photos. It was actually a whole lot of black-and-whites of Grecian ruins. The one that stands out the most as I write this nine months later is a close up that shows the dents and holes from canon fire.

Some Like it Hot at the radio station on campus at UMD on our first or second night there freshman year! So Chelsie, Kathryn, and I went to go see.

( Pictures )

Some Like it Hot at Fletchers in Baltimore with Chelsie, Kathryn, Connor, and Jami L. back in Summer 2007. :D

( Pictures )

I discovered a bunch of icons from GJ and fangirly pictures I had on my computer today! So I'm putting them all on photobucket along with new ones I get from now on, and I decided I'll just post them like this since it's not like I can upload them all and use them for real. And of course I'll credit when they're not made by me. So expect this kind of thing from now on, hopefully.

OHMYGOD So You Think You Can Dance the other night! The 100th birthday episode was so good! Ellen was pretty funny the day before...but also I don't see why she was there, haha. But I did love her stretching "nailers" so far, lmfao. And "Ramalama (Bang Bang)"...no words. It's always been my favorite group routine and holy shit to see Wade dancing it was so great! ♥ I am really upset that Janette went home though; she was sooo good and cute and I think she should have gone farther. :(

Today has also been a great day for tv. So I haven't watched Stargate in like two years because I don't have time (and wouldn't have been allowed to anyway :\ ). But I looked at the tv guide today and saw Atlantis was on...I'd already missed the first 40 minutes but I couldn't help myself...and then who played Kaylee on Firefly was on it! I'm so completely out of the loop on this show right now so I didn't let myself watch too much though...Yeah I'm a huge dork and I'm crazy. But that got me really excited. And then this evening I stumbled upon an episode of Castle which I didn't even watch during the Fall when it was actually on, but Nathan Fillion!! It was like a Firefly overload today, and I only JUST saw the series because I borrowed my friend Graham's DVDs this summer. Guh. I need to see Serenity now. Okay I'm going to try and stop talking so much about dorky tv things now.

*Okay one more thing: I forgot it was Saturday and was just so confused about why Tracy Morgan would be doing some weird opening skit for Conan.

I tried to get a haircut yesterday but it didn't work... I mean, I made my sister cut my hair but we ran out of time for finishing it up before I had to go to work. And it still looks unfinished and choppy. I'll post before and after shots once it's done for real.

Stole this from tabby_renee. I think it's really neat! Although I saw the picture of the Sphynx cat and it's kind of ugly. But I liked learning about my last name. ♥

Surname:
Origin: (Origin Scottish) Gurtduine, Gaelic, a fierce man; Gwrddyn, Welsh, a strong man; Cawrdyn, Welsh, a hero, a giant. Some have derived the Gordons from Gordinia, in Thessaly; others say they are descendants of the Gorduni mentioned by C�sar in his Commentaries.

3 Things You Didn't Know:

1. Your personal power animal is the Sphynx Cat
2. Your 'Numerology' number is 5. If it wasn't bulls**t, it would mean that you are adventurous, mercurial, and sensual. You seek growth through adventure and different life experiences. Although you are a critical thinker, you can sometimes over-ponder an issue.
3. According to the US Census Bureau°, 0.163% of US residents have the first name 'Jessie' and 0.064% have the surname 'Gordon'. The US has around 300 million residents, so we guesstimate there are 313 Americans who go by the name 'Jessie Gordon'.



EDIT Shit, code. What are you good for if you're only going to give the animal picture and none of the cool info?! Fixed the entry. /EDIT

Umm. What?

http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b101449_sources_michael_cera_joins_arrested.html

Why did I not know about this sooner? I've been thinking Michael Cera was a little bitch for about 5 months longer than I should have! Sorry, Michael. I guess I need to stay more up-to-date on my celebrity news...

P.S. I wish I still had my AD icons from GJ. :(

In other news, I also just downsized my school email account from 411 to 122 messages / 66.61 to 37.51 MB. If only I could clear out the junk in my house like this, haha. But really, though, the other day I washed three loads of the old clothes I sorted a while ago. But there's still that much and maybe a little more to do. I don't even want to deal with trying to have a yard sale because I don't think anyone will stop/it won't be worth it. I just want to donate it all to the Value Village. I even made a list of all the sizes and everything that I've done so far for them.

I'm inching closer and closer to being caught up with pictures and being able to post new ones too. I've done some old concert entries and backdated them back to like January of '08 when I think I was trying to do this the first time, haha. Not finished yet, but getting closer. Andddd I'm doing more things and creating 'share sites' on my Shutterfly account. I'm actually doing things that are cute and that I might share some time when it's all finished, not just creating them for the free prints I get in return (which I'm really loving, though).

Maybe this will make up for effing photobucket stopping halfway through my upload yesterday so I don't get to update about the concert still. >:(

( oh hey )

"I bargain-hunt like I'm a cheetah and bargains are my gazelle meals."

On Saturday I went on my first real thrift store shopping trip. There's this big, huge Value Village near my house and I know I've been in it before but that might have been to drop stuff off...I don't really remember, it was a few years ago. But the other day I went for real to look for things 'cause they were having a holiday special and everything was 50% off. I learned that I really like thrift stores and that I might want to live in one. But not as much as I want to live in Target.
Also I felt like I was cheating on Tommy by going by myself because he was supposed to take me for my first thrift store shopping since he's a veteran at it. :P
I ended up getting a new-looking pair of flats from Target, something I'll use as a make-up bag, a sweet early-90's-looking kid's wallet, and a set of four teeny tiny beer-mug shaped shot glasses that are the cutest things ever all for $7.01. I'm in love.
Also I spent forever looking through the books but didn't find anything I wanted until I got to the kids' section, haha. Then I saw a bunch of different Animorphs books. omg. They were my favorite things circa 1999/4th grade. I actually contemplated buying them and then re-donating them when I was finished since I don't really need them sitting around. Then I remembered there are these establishments called "libraries" that will let me do that for free. So that's my new mission for the rest of the summer.

Update about the rest of my weekend probably tomorrow when I can upload pictures at work. Dial-up at home is a sad, sad thing.

Also, because facebook now lets you have 200 pictures to an album instead of just 60, I spent like 5 hours reorganizing and combining mine yesterday. I cut my albums from 34 down to 20. You don't have to tell me that was a waste of time and I'm crazy...I know.

Still reading even more tfln and Shakespeare, but only because it's cloudy out so I'm not outside. And I'm babysitting the crazies while my mom is out so I have to stay in anyway.

The summer sun is like a warm, cozy light-blanket. I want to lie in it all day. I'm sort of almost golden right now and loving it. The breeze is nice, too.

Sometimes I love my job. Times like when Jackie and I watch online movies or watch Ellen's commencement speech to Tulane University when the movies aren't good enough quality. And then she takes a nap and I get on the internet all day because the phones are slow and I get to wait to call kids till next week (don't judge us, they weren't ready for driving kids or anything; this stack was all no licenses or not enough hours anyway). And Mr Bell lets everyone have off yesterday and today for Independence Day, but really yesterday only because he's a greedy, stingy old man and won't have to pay us that way. It's fun.

I'm not fit to care for psychiatric patients. It's too bad my aunt Debbie's crazy too so I have to babysit both of them, instead of her taking care of my grandma.

I accidentally read tfln for like six hours last night. I made it through 100 pages...I wish I was kidding about that.
I'm shocked I didn't dream about drinking and texting. Although I did dream a little about gettin' it on in one scene. But most of my dream last night was kind of epic. It was the first day of school and all my classes were kind of weird, like the one where we looked at honeycombs, but the buildings were really fancy and new—not like hightechmodernindustrialnew, just newly built but decorated with lots of orangey tones and made to look...like some kind of set I can't describe. I liked it, though. And then there were people in crazy giant 80s hair wigs and then this other character who was probably my love interest and I had to fight something supernatural that I'm not sure about but may have been taking over the school. I think I got a sort of JDatE vibe but not really at all. I should probably write a shitty "saga" about it and make millions. Don't worry, though. I won't and no one sparkled or was a stalker.

I also read Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors last night in an hour and a half, maaayyybe two hours because of this site and it's greatness. I wonder why that didn't make it into the dream.

I need a shower.
