Sometimes I find myself more amusing than those around me.
Example: I have a dog who enjoys running out the door ever chance she gets and when I say run...I mean really run. We usually spend about 10-20 minutes trying to get her back into the house because she finds it entertaining to see us dash after her. So you can only imagine that we do whatever possible to keep her from running out. Well, today, my mom had to take a few trash bags outside and requested that I distract our precious puppy from the fact that a window of opportunity (to her freedom) would open. So, I promptly lock both of the elbow joints with both arms sticking straight out in front of me, sporting "spirit fingers" and wave both hands in front of the dogs face while screaming in a creepy Michael Jackson-esque voice, "I'M A DISTRACTION! I'M A DISTRACTION". Of course the dog was not amused. In fact she was quite bored with my act. So much so, that she just walked away. I, on the other hand, found my act quite funny.

Well HELLLOOO X3 Rant!
When a director/writer/producer agrees to do a comic book movie, he acknowledges certain facts and subconsciously consents to do certain things. One of these things is NOT CHANGE THE OVERALL STORY OF THE COMIC BOOK THAT YOU ARE ADAPTING TO FILM. Meaning that you will not..
1. Kill off any main characters that normally make recurring appearances within the comic book series
2. Create love interests that would be considered just tacky in the comic book world
3. Pull story lines out of your butt
WARNING MAY CONTAIN X3 SPOILERS
Keeping this in mind...WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD BRETT RATNER KILL OFF 3 MAIN XMEN CHARACTERS? WHY?! You just can't do that. He's pretty much made it impossible for any director to do a fourth movie now. Thanks Brett. You really gave the fans what they were dying to see: their favorite characters die before their very eyes!

Adjective: Entertainingly and strikingly clever or original in concept, design, or performance
I could definitely spend a good hour explaining to my loyal audience why X3 caused a giant ball of furry to grow inside of me but it is too early in the morning for rants and I think a good night's sleep will help me think of more reasons why Brett Ratner will pay for his more recent mistake in the most painful of ways. MUHAHAHA!! (Properly pronounced, "moo-haha")
On the most random of side notes:
How does one become witty? Is this a trait that one just acquires or is there some sort of wit school that one attends? If so, does Jeff Goldblum teach a class? Is it called, "Um, will there, uh, be any witty banter in this witty banter class?" 101? I feel as though only with Hannah and Natalie I am able to carry on long conversations that ONLY consist of witty banter. Is this because we are so witty that when were are together we create some sort of witty vortex of doom? Hm. In any case I do believe I am only witty around them. Just something to think about.

The last two days at work have taught me the following:
1. I am a moron who is not even capable to complete even the most remedial of jobs.
2. I only cause more work for those around me and thus should be locked in some sort of padded box.
3. Did I mention that I never do anything right? Yes? No? Well apparently I don't. I shouldn't touch things. They tend to explode.
On a slightly more entertaining note, I have found the phrase, "Earth babies, jump in my mouth! Do it." to be highly addictive.

Were I the Moor, I would not be Iago.
iTunes: "Baby, You Wouldn't Last A Minute On The Creek" by Chiodos
I am: [insert adjective here]
I finished my two hour final in exactly 24 minutes. Should I be worrying? Nah. That just means I'm super awesome! Right?
I must drag myself to church tomorrow, though I am not in the mood and know that I will definitely not be in the mood after working tomorrow, I know that missing a day of church without a decent excuse would put more of a damper on my spiritual life than I would like. ::Sigh::
Upon the suggestion of Andrew, I spent about 4 hours, blowing off some steam with a little Tomb Raider: Legend. No, I have not beaten it yet. I will. I will. Surprisingly I spent a good chunk of that time trying to get one of the "Gold Rewards" (for those non-gamers, that means I get upgraded to UBER FANTASTIC VIDEO GAMER if I am able to collect all of them in Tomb Raider) and when I was hit by a random blast of fire, which came out of no where BTW, and died you can only imagine how non-destressed (I made that word up tehehe) I was. At that point I threw the controller on the ground and said, "FINE EIDOS! I JUST WON'T PLAY YOUR STUPID GAME WITH IT'S STUPID 'RULES'" and that was that.
I'm disturbed that my posted have be whittled down to unrelated sentences and/or paragraphs.

Forbear to sleep the nights, and fast the days.
iTunes: "Animal I Have Become" by Three Days Grace
I am: a box
As school comes to a close this season I find myself attempting to reach my goal of reading every Shakespeare piece I can get my little hands on. I finally finished Richard III (finally! TAKE THAT MR. SHAKESPEARE!!). It was more difficult to read than I thought. The main character was extremely hard to relate to and every time I fell in love with a character, he would end up dying a few pages later. Gr, I say, gr. I plan on working on Merchant of Venice next but haven't been able to find the time to start it. Heck, I still have to beat Tomb Raider: Legend before the summer is up.
I completely understand that some people's defense mechanism consists of them being complete jerks to people, for their own personal reasons but, believe it or not, when you're a jerk to me, you WILL push me away. This is why I have decided to go apartment searching in Lawrence. ::Claps hands:: so congratulations You, You are succeeding at pushing me out of your life. Yay for You!!

O' that this too solid flesh would melt
iTunes: "Heard 'Em Say" by Kanye West (Featuring Adam Levine)
I am: choleric
In honor of this being X3 month (yes!) I have dyed my hair a slightly more reddish tone in attempt to be as cool as Famke Janssen. Unfortunately I was unable to find a color with the name "awesome x-men red" so I settled for "radiant red". I'd say I look pretty Jean Grey-ish. Now I just have to get my telepathic powers down and I'll be set.
I find it extremely sad that every time Jurassic Park is on Bravo I feel the need to glaze myself to the TV screen. I honestly think that I could reenact that entire movie word for word. Which reminds me...
I am determined to have the BEST Halloween costumer EVER this year. I've been throwing ideas around for quite some time but I'm not really satisfied with what I've got. I'm open to suggestions.
-Scully (from X-Files) and I would convince some random male friend (I'll probably bribe Andrew into doing this) to dress as Mulder.
-Mr. Pink aka A Reservoir Dog. I would then need to convince 4 other people to dress up as the remaining "dogs". Hehe.
-I dress up as Julianne Moore from LOST WORLD: JP2 and find some hopeless friend to dress up as Jeff Goldblum. We then lug around a stuffed T-Rex and claim to be saving the world from men who think they can play God.

Apple now controls my life
Normally I wouldn't encourage buying ANY album from iTunes (DARNNNN YOU ITUNES!!!) but this...this is the ONE exception I will make. I am proud to announce that the iTunes music store has release, "SCRUBS SOUNDTRACK VOL. 2". That's right people!! All the music that you have loved this past season and the season before can be found on this exclusive iTunes album. For a mere $9.99 you can hear such amazing songs as "In The Sun" by the AMAZING Joseph Arthur and "Section 9 (Light & Day/ Reach for the Sun)" by the Polyphonic Spree.

Coughing is fun!
So I'll just come out and say it, you guys suck. Yes, you guys who feel the need to leave Springfield to pursue, only the Lord knows what. Yes, Hannah..Natalie...and whoever else is leaving me in Springfield to fend for myself. Gr. I hate you all (but can I still stay in your apartment when I come and visit?). It makes me feel as though I should be moving to some exotic place that would better suit my talents. To be honest, I don't feel this overwhelming force calling me or pulling me in any sort of direction. If anything I feel as though my place is here in Springfield. I think if God intended me to leave Springfield I would know it and maybe he will call me some place other than here but for the moment…he is not. I think Andrew jokingly made me promise that Justin and I (being his only single friends now) that we would never leave Springfield and that we would never get married. I answered with a solemn, "Unless certain circumstances happen I will not leave Springfield." I then told him that I preferred to NOT be the local cat lady and thus would probably like to get married at some point in my life.
It’s funny, I don’t usually get an abundance of phone calls, ever, but since I’ve been sick and ultimately lost my voice, I’ve had more phone calls than normal. Usually, I get text messages galore (WHY?!!) but instead of just texting a simple sentence people feel the need to call and say the five or six words that clearly could not be expressed though a ten cent message. Which I have responded all throughout today with, “::cough cough:: I’m sorry but it really hurts to talk.” To which they respond, “Oh are you sick?” No, no I am not sick. Sometimes I like to tell people in a raspy and very unattractive voice, that it hurts to talk so that I may provoke an hour-long discussion about nothing. If you didn’t get the sarcasm there then well, I don’t know what to tell you.
Irony is awesome.
As you can imagine I am

No. This cannot be!
WHYYYYY???!! WHYYYY?!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH HOLLYWOOD?!!!
http://aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=23106
Who would think that this is a good idea?
"The script starts exactly where the last film left off. The body of SCAR, the slain predator from AVP, lies in a place of honor onboard the Predator Starship. The body convulses. Alien chestburster pops out. And then in a matter of seconds, it grows to nine feet tall, and we see the Predalien. 'Shiny, elongated alien head. A Predator fang-rimmed mouth. Alien jaws. Predator body. Alien tail.'"
I suffered through AVP 4 times and if it takes everything in me to make sure that AVP2 never sees the light of day then so be it!
I think I can hear Hannah and Natalie screaming far off in the distance.

It's all over your face
iTunes: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" by The Temptations
I am: somber
I am forcing myself to do this post because Hannah is under the impression that everyone has stopped blogging. Well take THIS HANNAH!
The Temptations Movie has got to be the best Mini Series ever. EVER. It must come on VH1 at least once a month (along with "What's Love Got To Do With It: The Tina Turner Story). Sadly I watch it every time it is on. I can pretty much reenact the entire movie for you. I even find myself quoting it. "You wish you could work it the way I do, but you can't! Because there is only one David Ruffin!" Only I replace "David Ruffin" with my name. It's funny because I also tend to quote "The Jacksons: An American Dream" (another excellent mini series that plays consistently once a month on VH1). I feel as cool as Angela Basset when I say, "I don't want chu'. I don't want chu'. I don't want chu' Mr. Jackson!!" I think quotes like that make me a better manager. Darn right they do!
I'd love to quote "What's Love Got To Do With It" but I can never remember any of the good lines, so I just take my shoe off and attack wife beaters with it instead. Oh Angela Basset, you're my hero!
Photography has got me down. Way down. I'm under the impression that I suck. Not just at photography but at life as well. Yay for Emo moments. The only thing keeping me going is the thought of watching "Behind the Music: Jim Croce".

"tats"
iTunes: "I can't do this" by Plumb
I am: Tired beyond reason
The idea of getting "another" tattoo keeps coming up but I keep shutting it down for very reasonable and respectable reasons. I'm completely conflicted about the whole situation. I mean, obviously this is something permanent so I don't want to do something I'll regret but on the other hand, what the fun of over thinking it? I'll just get a tattoo of a cartoon character on my butt and let this all be said and done.
I'm beginning to think that the employees at Best Buy have conspired against me. Ever since that whole shin-dig where one of the checkout girls torn up one of my gift certificates without using it (urg, I despise that story) resulting in me having to call customer service (urg, another terrible story), all Best Buy employees have been extremely rude to me. It's as if I have some how shaken the hive, irritating the queen bee thus resulting in my being stung by all of the mindless bee drones. I went in to Best Buy a few Wednesdays ago in hopes of picking up "The Stanley Kubrick Collection" or at least "Full Metal Jacket". Much to my surprise, when I attempted to locate an employee, who definitely would know how I could get a hold of this fantastic box set, there was none to be found. I must have searched for a little over 15 minutes only to find out that they were all in the cell phone section rearranging accessories. Then, we I prepared to check out (no, they did not have EITHER of my DVDs) I found myself treated to the wonderful attitude of, what one might assume, an overworked employee. It was fantastic.

Who?
I added a few more pictures to my flickr.com album. I'm starting to worry about having to buy a "Pro" account there because I've almost used up all my free space. Uck. That upsets me.
