A little delayed as I have been either busy, lazy, or upset, here is a link I've been meaning to post since Bloggingbrit told me about that special he watched on that one extreme motocross guy. The video clip is interesting, and I just want to say that I have seen Jimmy Fitzpatrick perform some tricks in person, my sister thought he was cute. We saw him at Speedway a few years/seasons back. Here's the link, watch the video when you can, Bloggingbrit.

Baseball Thunder
There has been something stuck in my head today, all day. I thought I'd post it. It's a scene from the movie Twilight and it's when the Cullen's are playing baseball during the thunderstorm. I love the scene, I love the song. I can't help but dance to it in the car when I hear it. Plus might I add that Edward and Emmett are adorable in this scene, like when they chest bump and run into each other in midair and lightning bolts come out of them and they fall down laughing. Emmett is in the dark shirt and light baseball cap turned sideways, and Edward is in the button up striped baseball jersey (I only mention that because I'm not sure if Bloggingbrit knows who is who). Haha it's a great scene. Here's a clip to watch. Enjoy!!

Ad of the Decade
Following on from Dewi's post about funny commercials, we had a tv show here on Sunday called Ad of the Decade which was a top twenty list of ad's (advertisments, commercials) as voted for by viewers of the tv station that was airing the show, ITV.
The commercial that Dewi likes so much was in the top twenty, but only at number 19. It was one place ahead of the Budweiser whassup commercial, which was one of the few american ones that made the list.
The winning ad was for a company that makes bread, Hovis. It was filmed in Liverpool and depicts a boy buying a loaf of bread, and on the way home he witnesses important scenes of the last 120 years, which is how long the company has been making bread for.
I found a website here that has recreated the list and has links to the ad's, in case you want to see them.

My Edward and my Jacob
Interesting day today. I ended up going to play a little hockey today after work. I knew my Edward was there, he bought my sticker. But as I was walking to the door to step out onto the ice, I saw my Jacob right in front of me. "Ohhhhhh no," I thought to myself. I think I actually said "what the fuck?" to myself aloud. I knew this was going to be a fun 2 hours trapped on the ice with both boys. No doubt due to my intense interest in Twilight and New Moon lately I was having a lot of trouble keeping away from my Jacob while my Edward was there with me. But he was in the middle of a pickup half-ice and I didn't fit right in there... and Jacob was alone on the other end of the ice... So I went to Jacob.
He hadn't come to our game the other night when he said he would be there, so that gave me reason to talk to him and question him. He was being his usual unusual self. I took the puck from him a few times, tried to get him to pass with me or something but he likes working alone sort of. I tried to tell him about my goal, and when he told me he still wouldn't have scored it made me realize he's had a few assists and a lot of "almost" goals, but I don't think he has any more than I do. I wanted to straight up call him Jacob, or Jake. I know he would understand exactly what I was referring to. It was in fact him that got me into it in the first place.
I didn't really talk to him much after that. Edward had an eye out for him. And Jacob for Edward. But I must be honest that it really made my evening having Jacob there. I mean, I love Edward, but doing all this reading, and my previous posts have mentioned that right now I'm sort of living a life like Bella. I was talking to someone last night and they called me [Dewi]bell... Bloggingbrit knows my first name, so just add "bell" to the end of it. Being called that made me smile a little bit.
I've already decided I'm on my quest for my own Edward, my own Jacob. A mix of the two. I like Jacob's look, his strength, his happiness and his warmth. The warmth especially. I also love Edwards loving and nurturing personality. Both boys are protective, but the fact that Edward disappears and leaves and takes all remnants of his presence with him, that bothers me a lot. I would end up hurt and in pain exactly like Bella if he had done that to me, I wouldn't be able to deal with it. At least Jacob always comes back to apologize, and he keeps his promises to stay, and be her friend.
When I was stopping by the snack bar to say hello to a classmate I saw in there, Jacob was coming out the single door and I had to squeeze right by him. I didn't realize he was coming out until I was chest-to-chest with him in the door jamb. If I had seen him exiting beforehand I would have waited so I wouldn't run into him with Edward standing so close by.
During the drive home, I realized I was wearing my "lucky" necklace. So far every time I've worn it to the rink something ironic, or exciting, or just something that put a smile on my face for more than a brief second happened. Of course it is a Quileute, Jacob Black symbol, which I believe I'm leaning more towards in the first place.
I'm getting a little sad though, even though my life this past month has been like a Twilight and New Moon nightmare in a good way I guess, because I'm coming to the end of my New Moon book. I'm afraid to finish it because I won't be able to afford to buy the 3rd book, Eclipse, until Saturday at the earliest, unless I get a lot of cash for Christmas. I know I will definitely finish the book before then, and I want to finish the book, but I will have nothing to being on afterward. And reading these books is the only thing that is keeping me upbeat, and looking forward to things, anything, hoping to run across more coincidences, so reading it is great! And I can't wait to start on the next book. But if I finish too early, I won't have anything left to do and nothing to keep me smiling and dreaming, at least nothing to actually read and keep my mind off things.
I have been afraid to go to sleep lately, because I'm afraid of those horrid dreams I get occasionally about whatever guy I'm with. Like Bella, I wake up feeling sick, I'm surprised I don't scream at night. But ever since I started reading and find myself becoming more like Bella, and I look forward to my more frequent dreamless nights. I wake up, sure I had dreams, but I cannot remember a single thing I probably dreamt about, and it feels good. Of course I'd love to dream pleasant things about Jacob, mine or the Quileute it doesn't matter, as long as it leaves me feeling good and smiling when I wake up. As for now, I'm enjoying my dreamless nights. I know what Bloggingbrit feels like now. And just so you know Brit, take advantage of your dreamless nights because you never know when you will begin to dream those nightmares.
Bottom line... I can't wait for the new semester to start. It's a new start, in new classes, with new people. It all starts in January, like Bella's new start in Forks.

GOOOAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!!
I scored my first goal tonight at my game!! It was exciting, it always is against this team. I got dog-piled on, trying to score in the second period. The other team had no goalie so they had a 6th player on the ice sorta acting like a goalie. The other guy also had my stick under his arm, holding me and I couldn't get free. The ref was yelling at the other guys to get the puck out because he was trying to cover it. Then he got a penalty for Delay of Game haha.
When I scored I was against the player-goalie, so it wasn't a real goal but it's in the records that I scored. At the end of the game, a goalie suddenly appeared in their end and I had a few scoring chances then. I had a lot during the game and everyone was trying to pass me the puck so I could score more. At least there is 1 for me in the records though. And it's funny because the pass I got it from, the assist, goes to my other half, my big brother, the next guy down. Bloggingbrit might be able to figure it out. He's the one I look up to so much. It's because of him that I am still playing hockey today. And what's funny, I scored from an assist from him, using his stick he gave to me. I had quite an audience too, my classmate, my co-worker and her son and mother, and my boyfriend, as well as our mutual friend and his wife, and I think he actually got my goal on video, because he was videoing his team (the one we were against) for lots of the game.
I also bought a necklace today that I have now deemed my lucky necklace. I don't really believe in luck, I think it's more of irony and coincidences that I believe in. It's a Twilight Saga: New Moon necklace from Nordstroms, made especially for "bp. at Nordstroms." I'm not entirely sure what "bp." stands for but whatever. It's Jacob's wolfpack tattoo medallion, with a few other charms, like a moon and a heart. But I wore it today and it was the best game I've played, aside from not being able to stop with my left foot (my dominant foot) because my skates were too sharp. Anyway, if you want to take a look or order it, here's a link.

My Twilight Jacket (Bella's Jacket)
I love my new jacket. The one I stayed up till 2 in the morning yesterday researching, I went out and surprisingly found it in large quantities (compared to my expectation of 0) in two stores at my mall!! I was so excited. One of the stores has some other things related to my jacket, will the other has other things but also related as well.
The BB Dakota Twilight Jacket is what I wanted and found. It's the jacket that Bella wore in the Twilight movie which I have become very intrigued with, the whole Twilight Saga. http://www.tillys.com/tillys/variants.aspx?prod=158810200&ctlg=020_Girls&cid=1066&source=1&size=
Here is it on me. It's definitely worth the $65 because it has fleece lining the inside of the canvas shell, and silk lining the sleeves. It's wonderfully warm and comfy.

Funniest-Commercial Commercial
It's funny this morning I noticed the commercial we have here for a show about the funniest commercials of the year. But while I have seen many of the previews for the commercials they were going to show, there was ONE commercial clip that I saw and I love that commercial, one of my favorites, yet I have never actually seen it on tv. Do you know why? Probably because it's a commercial made for the UK!! That Cadbury commercial haha. I tried to find the clip but it's not online, the clip of the commercial for the commercials that is. In fact when I first saw that clip I posted it on this blog, thanks to Bloggingbrit =]

Elf!! Pt. 2 haha
Ooh!! Ooh!! I forgot this funny part too. I'd really love to piss off those solicitors like that haha. Buddy the Elf is like my idol haha. Watch this...
Elf!!
All I want to do is watch Elf on USA but the WWE Live or whatever it is is on still!! This wrestling is so fake it's annoying to watch, they aren't even breaking a sweat... Oh good, that one guy just won so it should be over, but I will probably miss the first 5 minutes of Elf because this show went over its time slot so they will just skip ahead to the regularly scheduled program.
Oh yay, they aren't skipping ahead haha. So I'm not sure what to write but I couldn't stand looking at my last post because I miss the Matty Bear.
I got to chat to Bloggingbrit today which was very nice, he kept my mind occupied. He also told me about the winner of X Factor (American Idol basically in the US). When I watched the video of the kids winning song, the first thing I said was 'he's a cutie' haha. His name is Joe-somethingarather, I can't remember his last name. So now Bloggingbrit thinks I'm drooling over this guy because I looked him up on Wikipedia (even though I don't remember his name!!), and because I said he reminds me of Jacob Black from New Moon hehe. So then I ended up spending the rest of my time I had at home looking up pictures of Jacob Black. I'd love to live in the Twilight world, I think I'd rather deal with what Bella's going through than my own life. A little trade for a while might be fun. I'm going to say right now though that I'm for Team Jacob, though I can see why people are for Team Edward.
Enough of that. My toes are cold, I should probably get under some covers. I know everything is alright now between me and the boyfriend, but I'm still really shaken up, Bloggingbrit understands why a little bit. I'm hoping for no bad dreams tonight. I'd love to sleep like Bloggingbrit... dreamless.
Alright, Elf is finally on, and I'm changing to Christmas Vacation at 12:30. Hahaha wait, I gotta post this clip. It's one of the many funny moments in the movie, but this is definitely one I think everyone has dealt with when they were kids, or maybe even now!! Jack-In-The-Boxes...

I watched Top Gun...
Yesterday I spent the day at my boyfriend's apartment and Top Gun was on tv so he wanted to watch it. I hadn't really seen it before, but the second they showed the character "Iceman" I was like omg, that's Matty right there haha. You see, Matty is a friend of mine that I really do care a lot about. He's a Marine right now and I haven't gotten to see him in months. He sent me a picture the other day of him coming home from the desert with his unit and it made me miss him a lot. I was thinking about him while I was trying to nap on the couch yesterday while the boyfriend played Call of Duty when he (Matty) called me. I couldn't answer but It made me smile seeing him call.
Then when Top Gun came on, and I saw Iceman, I swear it's like a spitting image of Matty and I was like "awww" and I was looking at the young Tom Cruise and realized how much he looks and acts (in the movie) like my ex.
Anyway, the point is it made me miss Matty a lot. He is back home now, well, to the barracks at least, and I'd like to see him again sometime before he gets deployed in spring.

JG Chat
Alrighty, well this is my new post for the temporary one. Basically I was just so excited because Jonathan Goodwin sent me another message reminding me about his performance in L.A. next Thursday. This was his message...
I enjoyed the conversation haha. It was pretty amusing. And I thought I would share it with Bloggingbrit as well. =]
Hey [DewTheZamboni],
just wanted to give you a shout out about the Dirty Secret Club on the 17th...will you be able to make it?
I have been given a discount code, which is "secretcode" which will give you $5 off if you book online.
There have been 2 new acts added to the bill, both of which are totally awesome, the Platt Bros, and Rob Zabrecky.
JG x
When I got that message I looked and Jonathan was actually still logged in so I opened up the chat box and let him know I wanted to go with my boyfriend but I had been scheduled to work. Here are some funny bits of the conversation...

Coming to an end... School
I'm writing this post now for Bloggingbrit so he can stay updated on my life if he ever goes to the library again haha.
I'm working a lot these next few weeks. It's recommended that college students should not work more than 10 hours a week. Well for the next few weeks I'm working at least 20 hours per week. I wish I could give some of my hours to Bloggingbrit. Which reminds me I should wish him luck for any more interviews he may be having soon or any more applications he's putting in.
I worked closing tonight, and I get to open tomorrow morning but I only work till 4:30 so I have time to rest a little before my game that night.
My homework for the rest of the semester has been completed. It's not due until next Wednesday but I finished the last of it this morning so I feel good to have accomplished something important. I do still have to study for finals which are December 14th but the teachers haven't put out their study guides yet!! It's frustrating. I am in a get-a-head-start mode right now.
Monday after classes I plan to go to the boyfriends house and hopefully, though I'm not sure how I will be able to accomplish this, but spend the night. I don't have class the next morning but I have a study session for one of my classes in the afternoon so I might as well stay down there because it saves a trip haha. At least that is what I'm going to try to use to persuade my parents.
I've been trying to invite people to more of my games, but no one wants to go, or they have work, or a concert, or just don't want to go. It's sort of depressing. I play better knowing I have to impress people. But after all the confusion and frustration of too many Marines I asked my 3rd favorite Marine of all time to put me on the 3rd line, because I don't want to play on the same line with the usual other Marine that my 3rd favorite pairs me with, understand? No? Well it's long and complicated so I won't go into it.
With all that being said, I think Bloggingbrit has enough to read to know how my life is going for this weekend. Sleep tight =]

Sorted Out
Whoa crazy!! I checked on the blog to see if Bloggingbrit had posted anything new and I noticed I was signed in with my new gmail account (thanks to Bloggingbrit) instead of my usual msn email account, but I didn't change it!! This whole thing seems a little sketchy to me haha.
Anyway that's not why I wanted to post. I got my life a little more worked out now, and just going to be spending my time waiting around hoping Bloggingbrit will be on soon so I can ask how work and the work-hunt is going, thought it might be a little more difficult now because he is finally internet-less after all these weeks. Which means I don't know the next time I will talk to him. Hopefully he still is able to check our blog if not sign onto our usual messenger.
Classes end the end of next week, and then I only have 2 finals to take this semester and they are consecutive on the first morning of Finals Week. This was a fast semester or so it seems, then I get I think about 4 weeks off before the Spring 2010 semester starts.
Tomorrow marks 2 months since my Marine asked me to be his girlfriend and I'm pleased to say I'll be his girlfriend tomorrow still, but I'm not going to get to see him again until next Monday after my last class of the day because he's got to teach a bunch of guys and train them and work in the field with them. He does get to go home but he has to get up at 4:30am and has to stay till 9:00pm every night.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is on TV again tonight, twice in a row so I'm watching it again. I probably will end up seeing all 10 viewings of it, twice a night for 5 nights. Unless there is something else on that I really want to watch that hasn't been on in a while. Anyway, I'm going to close up my laptop for the night I think and cozy up in bed. Hope to hear from Bloggingbrit soon even if it's just a post on this blog we got going on here =]

Too much on my mind
it looks as though Bloggingbrit has been doing more posting lately. And I noticed the new Google search bar and the thing to follow the blog I think maybe he added... to make money -_-
And he might want to say it but too bad I'm going to say he's got a few days or temporary work I guess.. which is better than nothing. I really thought things were going to be good with that whole job interview thing. I'd hire him!! He knows that =]
And for the Google Wave or whatever it is, yeah I signed up with Bloggingbrit but it's confusing for me to use. It's confusing and the way things have been going in my life right now it's really best not to mess with my head when I can't even think straight as it is without trying to learn new programs. I've become so clumsy it's scary. And the sad thing is I'm beginning to feel like Bella... from Twilight... except I'm not being pulled towards the werewolf or the vampire. I'm being pulled between two Marine hockey players that resemble the vampire and the werewolf. I've already leaked too much information. Time to watch the encore presentation of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation... again.

Google Wave
I've finally got a Google Wave account, and I am enjoying trying out its features. As it's still only in Preview release there are some things that aren't available yet, and a few bugs that I've noticed too. I had 8 invitations available, so I gave Dewi an invite. I hope she will embrace it and use it often, but I won't be forgetting about this blog!
I still have 7 invites left... maybe I can sell them on ebay...

Unemployment
I have been unemployed for almost 3 months. I am trying hard to look for work, but it seems to be harder than ever to find a job in the current ecconomic climate (as people on the tv news always like to say).
I thought I got a job last Friday. I had applied some weeks back, waited, attended a preliminary interview, waited, took a telephone interview, waited, and then on Friday I attended a 4 hour interview at the company's premises. I answered questions, did a group discussion with other applicants, had a telephone role play with an 'angry customer', and finally a 'proper' interview where I had to say why i was suitable for the role and explain my experience and give examples of all the qualities and traits they were looking for. I thought it had gone quite well, maybe except for the last part as it's been about 6 years since I last did this kind of call centre work, and I was a little bit rusty. Anyway, after all that, I was told I wasn't what they were looking for, I didn't quite show the 'drive' they wanted to see in their employees. Grrrrrr!

Tripped Up
Somehow I ended up pulling on someones killing jersey I have that belongs to them. He let me hang onto it. I haven't worn it in a while, but I felt like wearing it tonight.
Things are pretty hectic in my life now, I feel like I'm losing control and everything is going downhill. As for Bloggingbrit last I heard was he seemed to be doing well with his job hunt. I hope someone hires him soon, if he didn't already get a job by now. It has been a few days since we really chatted. I've got so much on my mind I am becoming clumsy at work especially. I've smashed my same finger twice, two different methods, on two different days. I've run into just about everything with my head, shoulders, and hips. And today I added my eyebrow to the list. I nearly gouged out my own eyeball when I leaned under a fixture and I didn't notice an empty peg there and it jabbed me right in my eyebrow. Any lower and I would have killed my eye. Ironic too because it was on the fixture with all the sharp kitchen knives. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself.
I wasn't really meaning to go on a rant like that but it's probably a good idea to let people know that accidents and bodily injuries seem to be gaining on me so keep a good watch on me to make sure I don't get smashed by crazy hail like this morning, or get hit by a garbage truck or something.

Team Jacob
Jacob Black. That's my team. I'm turning into a Twilight nerd!! I've read the first book now in preparation for seeing the second movie. I could have just watched the first movie as we have it at home but the movies are never the same. So now I'm going to read New Moon (after seeing the movie haha) and I've found it's really addictive.
I used to chuckle at the people who were so obsessed with all the Twilight stuff but I've found the first book is actually really really good and as I mentioned, addicting. I have another reason why I happen to find myself drifting towards the whole scene because I'm close with someone who happens to resemble the character Jacob Black fairly closely, which I really can't complain about. Also, might I add that Robert Pattinson is not very attractive at all, and I really don't like something about Edward Cullen and his here-again gone-again moods. He's cold to the touch, Jacob is always warm and running a certain kind of fever.
Anyway it turns out tomorrow is Black Friday (haha, ironic.. you'll see why) and I plan on going to the mall and stopping by Hot Topic because I know they always have merchandise from the latest hit movies and Twilight especially so I'm going to buy myself a Jacob Black (on Black Friday!! hehe) poster. And maybe if they got a decent size wallet too, because I've been meaning to get a knew one. Ooh and I get paid tomorrow.
Speaking of paychecks and work, I've got to work all weekend, I have shitty hours, and I don't have time really to spend with anyone even if I wanted to. I'd rather work early in the morning, instead of the afternoon to closing, because when u work closing you can't really do much during your day. So lame!!

Long Distance Relationships
Long distance relationships don't work. They can't work. You can easily have long distance friends, but closer relationships need to include a physical element which just isn't possible when two people are kept seperate.
If there was a way for those two people to get together, even just occassionally, then maybe it could work out. I've not been lucky enough to test that out, so I can't really comment.

Bloody Ice
Today I watched my linemate get his face split open. We had just been serving a penalty together in the box and not even a minute after we got out, he got tripped along the boards and smacked his face on the ice. I just thought he fell like usual until I heard someone say there was blood then I turned and saw him lying face down, holding his face, and not getting up. I didn't see any blood until he finally got up and his face was covered in blood, there was blood on the ice in a big puddle and other smaller puddles. One of my friends that plays on Saturday and other days too was there and he went to help him out once he was off the ice in the locker room. When he came back out he had wiped his face off so there wasn't blood smeared everywhere, but it was dripping down his face like crazy. I jumped off the bench to go talk to him and he said he needed to go to the hospital. After the game I got a text and I brought home some of his gear that he had left at the rink and it's sitting in my room right now. He pretty much looked like this but the blood dripping down all sides of his face... 
My stomach sank when he looked at me like that. The guy behind me from the other team said "that's why you wear a cage" and I almost turned around and punched him in the face. No one messes with my boys. Especially none on my line. And especially my friend. He's at the hospital right now getting his face sewn back together. Mainly his eyebrow that took it big and his lip too.

I know what I'm doing winter break...
To my utter surprise, I got a very exciting email today while I was away at my lab. Jonathan Goodwin, a bald British escapologist that has a show on sometimes in the U.S. called "One Way Out" on the Discovery Channel. I have chatted to him multiple times on various occasions and I have been telling him if he ever does a show in Los Angeles I think it'd be really cool because I can go see it. Here is what the email said:
Hey [DewTheZamboni]**!!
Just an FYI that I am performing at an awesome variety show called "The Dirty Secret Club" on December 17th at the Hollywood and Highland Center. It would be great to see you there!! Info and tickets are available at www.dirtysecretclubla.eventbrite.com (I am the mystery guest)
Feel free to bring as many people as you like, I promise it will be a great night!!
Jonathan :)
**Name has been changed.
I thought it was so cool that he remembered me. I really plan on going to see it, and hopefully I will get to meet another bald guy in L.A. that remembers me from some website haha, that's a different story.
So there's the link if anyone is interested in going, It should be great!! I'd love to meet Jonathan. Bloggingbrit might find this a bit amusing maybe, I don't know.

Nothing to say..
I'm sorry I haven't posted much. I've had a lot of stuff going on, and after what I found today about my boyfriend, the drama is just escalating all around me. Between my boyfriend and his little "adventures" without me and the excuses he's making, to a friend on my team, to the two friends I hooked up and the guy is just being a complete asshole. Plus school and work getting extended hours. I just want to get out and be alone for a while, unless I can have someone with me that will keep me company, just one single person, who could entertain me at those moments late at night when everything is 100 times funnier.

Optical Illusion 1
I really like optical illusions, and I thought I had pretty much seen them all before, but then I saw this on Derren Brown's blog, so thought I would share it here.
This one is really good because when I followed the instructions and focused just on the green dot in the middle, and watched the yellow dots appear and disappear, I still didn't know what the illusion was supposed to be, lol.
See what you think. It's best if you play it full screen.
The blog post I found it from is this and full information about the effect can be found here.
I've called this post Optical Illusion 1 in case I decide to add others later.

New Car?
I know I'm overdue for a post I think. I've been busy lately, in fact I still need to finish a bit of homework before bed tonight!! And it's already 9!! I can do it tomorrow but I've got a game.
Sticktime and Pick-up was this morning, like usual. I played and felt really good about it. Had multiple scoring opportunities I took advantage of, and I was actually trusted to have the puck passed, get dropped back to, and be able to drop the puck back to someone else. It felt really good. I've made a lot of improvements since a year and a half ago I think.
On another note, the family truck has been having more and more problems lately. And it's very possible I'm getting my own new 2010 model car on Tuesday or Wednesday. I've decided on a Scion xD, in either white, dark metallic grey, or black pearl. I'll have to see what they look like in person but I guess my dad has already done some looking at the dealerships already. I'm excited. Very excited. Not to mention i have basically 4 days off this week, it's pretty awesome, that includes work AND school. Yay!!

Derek Acorah
A couple of hours ago I sat down to watch Michael Jackson: The Live Seance on television. I was expecting it to be bad tv, and it was. No, it was worse.
I am very skeptical about this sort of thing anyway, so when all the boxes are ticked (eg. choosing young, vulnerable, guliable, over-emotional Michael Jackson fans to take part), it's inevitable that the participants get completely taken in by Acorah. I'd like to think that most of the TV viewers can see through this charade, but psychics are big business so unfortunately I'm probably wrong.
If you're wondering what we learned from the seance, it was basically this...
1)Michael is getting used to the spirit world, happy to be with his grandparents.
2)Michael is unhappy about journalists telling lies.
3)David Gest is STILL the most incredibly annoying name-dropper on the planet.

Do Your Eyes Sit Wide
There has been this commercial i see on tv all the time and it's getting stuck in my head so I thought I'd share it. I think it's pretty cool actually.
I love the weather we are getting now. I know I was complaining to Bloggingbrit about it yesterday I think but it's all breezy and windy now and cooling down. It is finally starting to feel like Fall and it will be Halloween on Saturday anyway which is awesome. The wind is not crazy right now but it's supposed to get windier by tomorrow I think. And it's dry so my hair is having a good hair day haha. I didn't do much to it and it looks pretty good. Too bad the only people who will see it today is me and my work, grrr.

Shnikes!! 7 of them!!
Wow it's been almost 10 days since my last post!! And even longer for Bloggingbrit. I've been so busy lately with school and work and spending time with my friend. Today I spent my day off work doing all the homework I could and I'm clear for the weekend except to study for a Political Science test I have on Monday which I hope I will ace.
Something I just now found amusing... I was eating a mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and I unwrapped it from the foil and I noticed the cup was really thick. I started peeling off the wrappers, that's right, plural. Instead of the normal foil and paper wrapper, I got a foil and 7... that's right 7 paper wrappers!! Cool!! And seven is one of my favorite numbers. Maybe this is going to be a good week, aside from the horrible California drivers and traffic to and from school. =)
Oh and just want to make an early birthday shoutout to Tory Belleci from Mythbusters.. He will be 39 on Friday, October 30, 2009. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TORY!!

Couldn't think of a title
Haha, I just gotta say I loved Bloggingbrit's post. He was disappointed when it "didn't work" and then it did later. He's adorable.
I worked today over 5 hours and I didn't get a lunch break. Only a 10 min rest break. Hmph. And no one is online to talk to right now... well Bloggingbrit is, but he's asleep
I'll have to try that feature where it will publish your post at a set time. I didn't know it even existed.

Happy Birthday Blogger
Blogger is celebrating it's 10th birthday. Just thought I'd wish it many happy returns.
It's been a while since I've blogged here. I've been out of work for over a month so there really aren't any excuses.
I'm not at my happiest at the moment. Short of money with no signs of anyone wanting to employing me, and still recoving from flu which I've had for well over a week and it's depressing me! I don't believe in luck but maybe I should, I really need my luck to change!

Tired
I decided I should post, since it's been a week and Bloggingbrit is neglecting this..
I am physically exhausted.. Like I never fall asleep in class, I almost did soooo many times today. Me and Dmitriy were sitting there in class trying to keep each other awake, I don't know who was worse off, me or him.
I'm eating a bowl of Cocoa Puffs for dinner. Oh and a cupcake. I still want marzipan...
I'm not sure what else to write.

Whoops...
Yeah so I went to the doctors and I have a separated rib, I'm on 800mg of Ibuprofen three times a day. I also decided I'm going to start writing a story, and let certain people read it if they want. But the problem is I was bugging Bloggingbrit about suggesting character names, and then I go and leave my notebook at work... I'm a dumbass. I'm glad there wasn't anything personal or embarrassing in it like a diary or something. So I sent my boss a text telling him I'll pick it up tomorrow on the way home from school. Lame!!
There are a lot of good movies on tonight, most at the same time, so I don't know what to watch!! I'm on my second cup of tea too. Weeeeeee... plus my Ibuprofen =D

Separated Rib
I self-diagnosed myself on my rib injury. My friend was right, and the description fits me perfectly. this is what it says.
Apparently I have separated ribs. I'll find out for sure at the doctors tomorrow.
Separated Rib
A severe blow can cause a rib separation, in which the rib tears loose from the cartilage in the front.
You will feel severe pain, usually toward the front of the rib cage, and it will hurt to breathe. When you bend over or rotate your body, you may feel a “pop.” It will be particularly painful to go from a lying to a sitting position, so you may have trouble getting out of bed in the morning. If someone puts one hand on your back and the other on your breastbone and squeezes, you will feel tremendous pain.
The treatment is to use a rib belt. This is a strap of elastic, about eight inches wide, that goes around the rib cage. It stretches tight and closes in front. This compresses the rib cage so that it can’t expand too far. The belt holds the rib end in place until it heals and lessens the pain of everyday movements.
No matter how much you may want to, you can’t participate in sports when you have separated ribs. The resulting pain will be too much to allow you to continue.

Favorite Old Commercial
So I was thinking about this on the way home, while listening to "Freebird" that I really miss seeing the commercial where I really first liked it from. It was a tv ad for Bear Grylls promoting a new season of his show Man vs. Wild here (in the U.S.) on Discovery Channel. I always loved the commercial so I thought I'd post it here so Bloggingbrit can see... Don't worry, he keeps his clothes on!! Haha
At School...
My first post while at school this year, yay!! I finished my essay, so I don't have to worry about that. And I don't really have much else to worry about, oh yeah except my lab write up thing. I get to see Matty tomorrow, I'm excited about that, though I'm not sure what we are gonna do. I kinda want breakfast. Not now, tomorrow.
And I told Bloggingbrit when I was going to be online, and he knew but was not on, but he was on this morning before I left!! Meanie.

Don't Hide Things
What an interesting start. I won my first hockey game but ended up with bruised ribs, that's what I'm diagnosing myself with. And I just found out one of the guys I have been seeing should not be listed as "single" but rather "divorced." I texted him to play a "tell me a secret" game and I was just going to tell him something silly when he told me he used to be married. I knew he had been engaged before... he said he was afraid to tell me because he didn't want to freak me out. But it bothers me that he hid that from me, because I was trusting everything he had been telling me, and now I don't know what to think.
By the way, I'm going to be spending the final race of the season alone, no one can go with me. It's going to be a very lonely week. I wish Bloggingbrit was here =(

Cool!!
So I just found out that I had a special Jonathan Goodwin video that I didn't even know of. I was pulling out DVDs to watch tonight and I grabbed my Discovery Channel Shark Week: The Great Bites Collection and I finally read what was on it and I saw "How Not To Become Sharkbait" and I was like "OMG Jonathan is on that!!"
It was such a pleasant surprise. I have been wanting to see it for a while, turns out I had it all along!! =D
Bloggingbrit will chuckle I think when he reads this.
"I just had a shark between my legs!!" - Jonathan
"Is he screaming or is he laughing?" - Other guy

Quick Day
Many new things. I made a few new friends, and I finally talked to that Russian guy today. He is officially Russian, so cool!! It took a few class meetings and then today we were just non-stop chattering all through class, or at least looking at each other and rolling our eyes at the teacher. Back row buddies are amazing!! Haha. We exchanged contact info.
I worked as well, first time alone with my boss since those crazy dreams!! But it's all good, we had so much stuff to do. And when it was time to close I was cracking up because he kept screwing up the lines he was supposed to say over the microphone. I was down one of the aisles and was just cracking up. When I came back up to the front and he made a final announcement, he started laughing, saw me laughing, and he started laughing more. He had to turn away and try to focus, then he couldn't do it so he gave up.
I tripped a lot today. I fell backwards over a chair in the library and landed on the table in the study room. When I was walking with Brandon to class, I tripped walking up the stairs but caught myself and he was like "are you alright?" and I was like "yeah, it's not the first time I've fallen today" and then when I was at work, I think I was trying to avoid my boss running into me and I tripped over something else. Not to mention he thought it was funny when I couldn't move one of the endcaps because the wheels had a mind of their own.
I also discovered my first hockey game is this weekend and I don't even have my jersey yet. Ahh!! But I've got backup, so I should be good.
I miss Bloggingbrit. I haven't talked to him in almost a whole day but it feels longer. Even last night when I talked to him he made me go to sleep. I miss him. I love you!!

Beyond Scorchio
Well I had a pleasant run in with Freddie and Brandon this afternoon, totally accidental. I was ready to go home, I was on my way to the car, when I ran into them (at different places, but still ran into them both). When I got home I pretty much slept until now. I don't know if it's this horrible heat or just lagging since classes started again. Or both. I am definitely looking forward to this long Labor Day weekend. No school or work for most the days (I work 2 days in there)
Hopefully I'll be able to chat more to Bloggingbrit. Because of school, work, not work in his case, and the time difference, we haven't had much time to talk. So this weekend should be good.

Classes Have Begun
First day of school flew by surprisingly. I was so excited to see Freddie that when I saw him come out of the elevator I hopped out of my chair and hugged him tightly (I told you I was a huggy person, Bloggingbrit). And happy to see other friends like Desirae, Kyle, Ron, Kevin, Chris, and I made a new friend named Brandon. I'm planning on sitting next to him or behind him tomorrow in class. I want him to know I'm there as a friend and to help.
But lately what's been on my mind more and more has been Bloggingbrit. He knows why I think, I just wanna snuggle up against him, I'm jealous of Hollie and Flapjack... err, I don't know if those are/need codenames or not haha.
And I just want to leave a note reminding myself for future reminders that Bloggingbrit sounds like that one guy... from that place I go on the weekends... I figure if I say the actual thing it might get too many hits and then everyone will know me!! Ahh!!
Bloggingbrit, I want more pictures of you. You have hundreds of me, and I have like... 10 of you. And half of them are you when you were younger than I am now!! You have plenty of time to take some now that you're working less. Please please please, or send me a pen!! I love you!!

Physically Exhausted
I have decided I don't want to drive on base by myself anymore. I will ride with someone, but I don't want to drive... especially alone at night!! I had an all day date today which I enjoyed, but I didn't enjoy having to drive through the frickin warzone and passing loaded tanks at night on roads with no streetlights to get him back to the barracks. Not to mention I got very close to my ex's work, close enough to see the basic area, but thank goodness we turned off before I had to actually pass it. But I prefer my ex's barracks to this new guy. Too far outta the way.
Class starts tomorrow. I want to go, but I don't at the same time. It will give me something to do during the day, but my mom has been being a butthead these last two weeks and been getting me up super early every morning for no reason, so I'm gonna be dead tomorrow. And probably itchy still from the dang grass I was rolling in, trying to get my car keys back -_-
He remembered Bloggingbrit... I was telling him how I wished tomorrow was a holiday for us too here in the USA, and he remembered it was Bloggingbrit I was talking about and how I always talk to him before bed every night.
Well, that's all for now. The number I want for hockey is available, so I'm excited, and registration will only be about $442 instead of $500, but the jersey I need is $100, and I need 2, so the Captain said buy the one we wear most, and then buy a cheap one and have the numbers done for the one we only wear sometimes. I'm tired and should sleep, but I got a lot on my mind. I'm physically exhausted, it's one of those nights I want company, even to fall asleep with, but I can't have it. I won't get to talk to Bloggingbrit till the morning. I'm off

Registration, Hockey.
I'm so excited because I'm finally registering for hockey. And it's on a great team, I know the Captain and a few of the players already. I should be fun. He will be sending me a list of available numbers I can pick for my jerseys (we have two different colors) and I am really hopeful that my number is available. Season starts September 16th, which is not that far away.
Also classes start soon. I'm happy about having something productive to do now, just not looking forward to the lab I have to take this semester. Man it's gonna suck, I don't like labs. And this one is twice as long as the first lab I did.
Well, that's about all I have to say for now. Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment and then I'm visiting a friend before she moves. Wednesday I might have a date, and Friday I might have a date, and Saturday is finally gonna be spent at the tracks. Busy busy busy

New Gear
FedEx came this morning at 11:11am. Cool!! And it's been cloudy like a thunderstorm all day. I read in the forecast tomorrow we are supposed to get thunderstorms, I really want that, it'd be amazing!!
Nike Bauer Vapor XXXX Track Jacket front unzipped
Nike Bauer Vapor XXXX Track Jacket back logo
White and Royal Gear practice jersey (I got it in a large because the bigger the better for your pads underneath, and they are mighty cozy to sleep in)
Jofa t-shirt... I love this shirt, its super cozy and soft. I'm wearing it right now
Royal and Navy laces on my skates. The Navy part is the striping which you can't really see from here

Ok so I checked my order status this morning on all the hockey stuff I ordered Wednesday night, and I know they have a distribution center in San Diego, and I'm not far from there. I knew it wouldn't take that long because it was coming from there but when I looked at the report thing, I cracked up. They used to much extra gas hauling my order all over southern California. I took a screencap so I could show you, with all info leading to me being blurred out...
If you can enlarge it you can read it better.

But it was sent out yesterday and should be delivered today. But seeing "City of Industry" makes me want to go to Speedway now!!

Pen Please
Ok so I was a little harsh on that last post. Compared to another date I had, Jimmy is a sweety at heart. And he says he really likes me so I should give him a chance. He is rough on the outside, but I believe he's a good guy. For once I mean I didn't feel much jealousy when he had been talking about his girl friends he has. And I will say I enjoyed when he took my hands because I said I was cold, and put them on his thigh and rubbed my hands really fast with his hands to warm them up... And I like his truck.
But at the same time all I want is my best friend. And I want him to send me a pen!! He's got a whole box of them and can't let go of just one!! Grrr

Not Really Feelin' It
Well I went on my mini-date with Jimmy today. I had fun, so did he, but it didn't feel like a date. I've decided ice skating is a terrible date place unless the couple is already a couple... otherwise it's just kind of awkward at times. I hopped in his truck afterward (which smelled soooooo good... I love that 'new car' smell) and we drove to look for a place to eat. We ate at Wendy's, then he took me back to my car and we left.
I like him, but also I don't really feel a connection or anything. Nothing about him has made me feel like I could really really enjoy being his girlfriend. Maybe it's because I don't feel like I'm his type and he's mine. I definitely want to be his friend. But working to being his girlfriend might take a very long time for me.
On the other hand, I've been talking to another guy, Jason, and he happens to be coming into my town tomorrow so my mom said it's alright if I meet him. There is something about him that intrigues me, I'm not sure what it is, but he is very different than Jimmy. So sometime tomorrow we will meet up, get a smoothie maybe, and talk a walk. He's not as tall as Jimmy, I think he is Bloggingbrit's height (if he hasn't grown since the last time we talked about height) so I'm pleased that he's still taller than me. Oh, and he's 3 years younger than Jimmy, 4 years older than me. Jimmy just turned 26, he is about 6.5 years older than me. Still a year younger than the guy I had last summer (Bloggingbrit knows).
So at the moment I'm waiting for my toes to dry, I repainted them. Bloggingbrit will be up in about 2 hours, and I have clothes to put away still. Not too many though.
Hmm, I just got a text message from a number in my area code but the number isn't saved... I'm gonna wait and see who it is. Oh, it's Ryan, cool... Fireman from Redlands... Anyway, I should put away my clothes before Bloggingbrit wakes up so I can be all his.

Oreo Milkshake
Well, I met up to get my buddy some skates... as he drooled over all the goalie gear. Nick wasn't working, so sad. We hung out at the truck for a while, talked, then he wanted to go get a milkshake... like 1 milkshake or a malt with two straws, it was pretty adorable especially because he totally doesn't look like the type of guy to do that. We ended up just getting our own shakes anyway, but we sat and talked a bit. Tomorrow we go skating. I'm really excited, I think he is too.
And apparently he is impressed that I'm a confident driver. Like when he was following me from work yesterday he thought I was gonna drive all slow and stuff over the speed bumps but no, I plow right through them haha. And yeah, he watched me drive as he was following me and I think he thinks I'm "badass" for driving a big truck and for playing/liking hockey.....
He just really doesn't seem like the type of guy that would like me, it's odd. But I'm gonna take it slow. I'm very pleased with his height, and he drives a nice truck. We'll see how it goes. It seems like he likes me but he still is shy a little. Anyway, tomorrow will be fun I think. I have to pick up his skates in the morning because Todd will have them sharpened. And I'm gonna go to the gym tomorrow morning too... I'm gonna write out my plan right now...
6 or 7: Gym
Shower, wash hair, blowdry partially and style partially (I worry it won't dry in time, but it should be ok)
Eat
Head to pick up Jimmy's skates no later than 12:30pm
Skate 1:30-5:15

Mama Got Mad
So I kinda got in trouble with my mom today... but she is okay now that Dad has reassured her. I had been signed up for an online dating site and met a guy today for coffee. I told my mom and she flipped out and my dad came home and calmed her down. As you might already know (I know Bloggingbrit knows well) my mom is easily stressed and a hypochondriac sometimes... but she was reassured after I showed her his profile and all that. And she read mine and I think was pleased about what I had to say about myself and what I wanted.
He has a cute name, and is taller than me (big bonus!!) and he actually reminds me a little of my dad's friend Dane, one of the identical twins... I consider that a little bit of a plus too, but no one else but maybe Bloggingbrit would know that.
So he bought me coffee and we talked hockey (he loves hockey too like me) and then my mom called and made me come home right away. But he gave me a little half-hug when we left and it was totally a no pressure situation. =)
Bloggingbrit, I hope I get to tell you in person (or rather in our usually chatting place) before you read this. You'll be awake soon =)

Pitch-Off
In response to Bloggingbrits response to me, I present you with Anthony Sullivan. I enjoy following him on Twitter here because he is quite entertaining and I play his little contests he has late at night. And he posts amusing pictures too. Anyway, he worked alongside Billy Mays and when I saw him crying on the Pitchman special I couldn't help but burst into tears myself. So, I present you Anthony Sullivan and the Grater Plater (featured on an episode of Pitchmen)
Barry Scott
After watching the Billy Mays infomercial posted by DewTheZamboni, I was instantly reminded of Barry Scott. Barry does commercials for Cillit Bang (Dewi may know it as Easy-Off BAM)and he is the closest we get in Britain to Billy Mays...
...the main difference is that Billy seems to have been well respected, and Barry is simply just annoying!
Then, when looking up details of Barry Scott to post on here, I found out that he doesn't exist! He's simply a character played by an actor called Neil Burgess. That just makes him even more annoying! His only saving grace is his cameo role HERE.

Sounds
I went on this little Ghost Tour thing in my town because certain members of my family wanted to go... Well it was two hours of standing around, which I will be doing at work tomorrow... neat but also kind of boring. didn't finished till about 10:45 tonight... and it started at 8:30.
Now I'm in bed and I think the Marine base is having bombing practice... I hate the sound of it, it's just not nice. Once in a while you will hear a bomb or whatnot, but tonight its like at 10 explosions a minute. I will probably close my window as soon as I'm done with this post. It just sounds scary.
On a happy note I will be home all alone all day tomorrow from about 9 or 10am until I go to work. I hope Bloggingbrit reads this... he knows what that means. My family is going to the beach but can't take me because I wouldn't be home in time for work. Bloggingbrit... ;)

Orangeglow
I'm quite peeved that lately they have been changing some of Billy Mays' infomercials. Like I saw one just now for Orangeglow and they used the same commercial but didn't show any of Billy or use his voice and it bothers me. It's HIS commercial!!
That's the original... I couldn't find the edited clip online that I just saw on TV.
Also, I would like to wish Bloggingbrit good luck. You know I want the best for you, and you know I'm antsy to talk to you already!! Haha

Rrraaaaeeerrrrr
I'm going on a hike tomorrow. Get to use my new backpack finally. Probably will send most pics to Bloggingbrit afterwards. I'm not really sure what to post... oooh... I gotta show you this clip. I crack up everytime I see it. I spent all day on Monday watching theses little episode things.
I love the little hamster. All those UK version ones are adorable
I guess that's all I have to say....

My Thanks
Today I feel the need to thank some people. Bloggingbrit in particular has always been there for me whenever I need someone, no matter how many times I've annoyed him or made him mad. He has been there with me guy after guy, annoying moment after annoying moment. I luv him more than I think he knows, I just wish the stupid ocean wasn't in the way to prevent us from being together. He's my best friend.
Freddie has also been there for me. He's always got something to say to make me feel better, even though he can be a pest sometimes, he's never given me reason to get mad at him. I'll miss speech class with him. He really does mean well.
Taylor is a sweetheart as well. Sending me silly pictures when he walks by something that reminds him of me. He was the first person I texted when I woke up this morning and he was in awww. Everyone has said "but you looked so good on myspace/facebook!!" So just proves along with Bloggingbrit's comment about being annoyed for me that this was just so random and odd... no one was expecting it. Anyway, Taylor told me I should talk to his friend. He used to play hockey but now only watches it and stuff. And said he actually told him about me a couple of weeks ago. He thinks I should talk to this friend. I told him I wasn't ready for another relationship and he said he knows but still thinks we should talk. He's a pretty cool guy, at least that's what he said... then I just now got a text "ok, uno min we gotta move a helicopter" he doesn't even have to try to be funny and just about everything that comes out of his mouth (or phone I guess) makes me chuckle.
Christina has been a good friend too. Although we deal with situations in different ways she's always been there for me when I need someone to listen to me.
Emily has been a good friend as well. I won't get to see her at all much because he lives in Palos Verde, which is in L.A. I met her at the LA Kings Women's Workshop. It's fun to have a few girl friends who like the Kings and hockey so much. We can giggle over the players butts together.
Eliza I cannot forget because of what she did for me about Luke. If I could pick any one person to have as a roomie it'd be her. I like her a lot.
Chris, although flighty at times, was there for me when Mattia left me. I remember the text messages we sent to each other about it and he made me feel better, and shared with me things he felt and went through with his loss of a girlfriend that I knew he really really liked. He was thinking about marrying her. But I'm happy for him now. He has a girlfriend I have talked to once (by accident) when I was on Skype and Chris opened a group message with me, him, and his (current) girlfriend. And me and her picked on Chris till he left his own group he made. I approve of her =)
Anton has been a good friend as well. I've only known him about a year, and he is in the US somewhere now... but he was there for me when Mattia left, and has always been supportive. But lately his phone has problems so I haven't heard from him in over a month I think. I hope he's doing ok. He is Russian.
A few other honorable mentions would be Alyssa, Marcus, Filip, and Rob (Bobby) who is currently trapped over in one of the most dangerous places in Iraq right now, as they shut down his base he is at over there and can't come home. He was due back next month and wanted to see me. Now all I'm praying for is that he gets back safely. I miss talking to him and our weird sense of humor together.
I think that's all for this post. If you haven't read the post below I want you to read it. I left it up on my screen like all day. It made me feel really good, what Bloggingbrit said about me. He wrote it as I was just dumped and driving home... so maybe it was premonition that I needed to read something like that...
Which reminds me... I told my mom about the dream I had both this other day and when Chris was going through problems with his girlfriend. Bloggingbrit knows what I'm talking about. Anyway my mom said that my grandma gets that too sometimes, premonitions and not quite seeing the future, but you get the idea. My dad admitted he gets it too... So it runs in the family. I'm just bummed it always only deals with relationships gone wrong for me.
DewTheZamboni is out.

Chris, although flighty at times, was there for me when Mattia left me. I remember the text messages we sent to each other about it and he made me feel better, and shared with me things he felt and went through with his loss of a girlfriend that I knew he really really liked. He was thinking about marrying her. But I'm happy for him now. He has a girlfriend I have talked to once (by accident) when I was on Skype and Chris opened a group message with me, him, and his (current) girlfriend. And me and her picked on Chris till he left his own group he made. I approve of her =)
Anton has been a good friend as well. I've only known him about a year, and he is in the US somewhere now... but he was there for me when Mattia left, and has always been supportive. But lately his phone has problems so I haven't heard from him in over a month I think. I hope he's doing ok. He is Russian.
A few other honorable mentions would be Alyssa, Marcus, Filip, and Rob (Bobby) who is currently trapped over in one of the most dangerous places in Iraq right now, as they shut down his base he is at over there and can't come home. He was due back next month and wanted to see me. Now all I'm praying for is that he gets back safely. I miss talking to him and our weird sense of humor together.
I think that's all for this post. If you haven't read the post below I want you to read it. I left it up on my screen like all day. It made me feel really good, what Bloggingbrit said about me. He wrote it as I was just dumped and driving home... so maybe it was premonition that I needed to read something like that...
Which reminds me... I told my mom about the dream I had both this other day and when Chris was going through problems with his girlfriend. Bloggingbrit knows what I'm talking about. Anyway my mom said that my grandma gets that too sometimes, premonitions and not quite seeing the future, but you get the idea. My dad admitted he gets it too... So it runs in the family. I'm just bummed it always only deals with relationships gone wrong for me.
DewTheZamboni is out.

Fresno
I'm watching a tv documentary about drug use in Fresno, California. Specifically it's about people who use crystal meth. It's depressing to watch. I'm just happy to know that DewTheZamboni will never end up like any of the characters on this show. It's nice to be able to be so sure about something like that. Dewi is a great girl.

Underpaid
I got my paycheck today. It was less than I was expecting. Under $200. Yay,Dirty Jobs... That Bite is on tv now. I like the shark ones. I'm sad that Shark Week on Discovery Channel is coming to an end.
I'm not sure what to write exactly. I wanted to mention something about Bloggingbrit making me laugh today, but I can't remember what I was laughing about.... oh! Fingers... I think. Anyway I had a crummy day, and now I'm starting to get a headache. But I'm glad that Dirty Jobs is going to be on for a while, I miss this show. And lately nothing has been on TV.
I want to talk to Bloggingbrit some more. Like, I think we should have a sleepover and stay up all night talking. I was up till 2am last night so that's half of it, though I got home around 12 so it wasn't that long of a chat.

Someone's birthday
Just wanted to leave a little note here... Happy Birthday Bloggingbrit!! I'm glad you enjoyed your night, and your present from me (even though I don't really think it was from me)
Luv ya!!
Luv ya!!
Sunday, August 2, 2009
Grrrr
I have been leaving huge gaps between my posts in hopes Bloggingbrit would write, as he promised he wouldn't neglect this blog or his money making one, but I believe he is neglecting both... I am trying very hard not to use certain language especially if you're reading this right now mister... POST SOMETHING!!

Military Base Cherry Popped
So I spent my last day with the boyfriend before he goes to visit his family back home for 9 days. He leaves tomorrow (Wednesday) and returns August 6th (Thursday). I already miss him. I don't think we have gone this long away from each other since we met. He is taking my hockey skates, the ones I learned and loved, which now he uses when he skates. So he's taking those back home to use, he's spoiled with good, lite-weight sharp hockey skates that are his size. He won't even attempt rental skates now.
We had a nice morning together. He took me on base, drove me by wear he works and I could see some of his helicopters. We went down and walked on the pier at the beach, walked around some of the shops, including one interesting one I was tricked into going into, and we ate. Then he took me back to his barracks and showed me his room, I met one room mate, the other was sleeping and it was past noon haha. Then we went back to where we had met up, chilled and relaxed for a while if that's what you want to call it, and then we went home.
I'm looking forward to hockey tonight, it's the last clinic for a while as far as I know. I need to keep my mind off not seeing my boyfriend for a week. I'm happy for him because he is going home to see his family and friends, but I am sad that I can't be with him too. I think once he is actually out of the state I'll be better, because I know there is no way we can see each other, like right now I know he is here, and will be tomorrow for a certain time, so it makes me want to see him more. And he's not going to be here for his birthday. Which reminds me that I will probably go shopping for his birthday present maybe tomorrow.
Actually I just checked my work schedule, and tomorrow really is the only day I have to shop. Because I work Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, Friday I'm going to Orange County, and I work all day Saturday and Sunday, and then mid morning/afternoon shifts Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday and Friday I'm off, but the next Friday I'm going to Disneyland with Patrick, and Thursday is when he is coming home, I also have to make his cake that day.... so my plan for tomorrow is hit the mall and buy something for his birthday. I know what he wants, but I may also throw in a surprise too.... but only maybe.... I'll need to ask my consultant, Bloggingbrit, about the "maybe" part ;)

Accidental Double Date
I wanted to post because Bloggingbrit might be a little bit worried, though if he was worried I would have expected an email... hmph... I didn't go blind and drown...
In fact I was logged on MSN all day... constantly checking... I got home and right away had to shower and eat and leave for my figure skating class with Christina... Patrick showed up and I surprised Christina by not telling her Shane was going to be there too. But you know boys, always hungry, so we packed like sardines in Patrick's mustang and drove like 30 or more miles all the way to Carlsbad (beach) because Shane had to have a certain pizza. I bumped into my high school band teacher there, totally random as this pizzeria was like a hole in the wall place. Packed inside. The pizza Shane ordered for us all had only pesto, feta cheese, sun dried tomatoes, chicken, and artichoke hearts on it. It was a rather crumbly green pizza, but good. there was 1 piece left and no one wanted it... so I was force-fed by Patrick one bite, it was supposed to be an airplane like when you feed little kids. And Patrick and Shane shared the rest.
Then Shane decided he wanted to take us to this "cool place" and by the way he is a terrible direction-giver... he told Pat like 3 times "oh go left back there" like 200 yards later... So he takes us to this beach in Carlsbad and we walk down these random steps to the shore. We got up on a ledge and flies proceeded to attack us, Shane was flipping out, thought he was going crazy, so we sat on the steps away from the flies (which were on the piles of seaweed).
About 9pm we went back to the car and back to the rink were my truck was, I took Christina home and we blasted Hollywood Undead all the way home. She likes "Everywhere I Go" because of these select lyrics:
Everywhere I go
Bitches always know
That Charlie Scene has got a weenie
That he loves to show...
and the part that mentions when he gets drunk his d*** does all the thinking... Hmmm....
I happen to like the lyrics/sound of the chorus for "This Love, This Hate"
These lies are leading me astray
It's too much for me to stay
I don't wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
I seen you so please stay strong
I'll sing you one last song and then I'm gone
I don't wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
But you have to hear the actual music that goes with it... I'll try to post a clip with that part of the song. I just love the way it sounds, I don't know why.
P. S. Props to Bloggingbrit for teaching me that lil code alteration to get youtube videos to begin playing at a certain time =)

Blind
I'm bummed, the hike I was looking forward to has been cancelled due to the heat. Ugh... Instead I guess we are going to the beach (finally I get to go with my boyfriend, yay!!
My eyes got a little screwed up earlier, my left one was almost completely blind, I had a huge blind spot. Then my right eye started getting fuzzy and I couldn't even read words on anything. Not on text messages, not online, not on food boxes. It scared me a little bit. It happened for no reason, other than maybe it was the meds I'm on for a week. I'm ok now but it was really annoying when it was happening.

Surprise Blown Up Baby Undead
I have planned a romantic evening for tomorrow for me and the boyfriend. He doesn't know what it is yet, it's going to be a surprise.
I was looking through the TV Guide and noticed there were some things on that caught my interest, but all still kind of blah. Then I remembered one of my all time favorite movies since I was a little kid, "Honey, I Blew Up The Kid" the sequel to "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" is on the DVR. So I'm watching it. I love this movie =)
The baby Adam is so adorable. And I used to have a crush on Nick haha.
Also, I heard a song my sister was playing on her laptop today and I recognized it. When I went out with Patrick and we took Shane's car, there was a CD playing but I forgot the name of the band. I liked the way it sounded though. So when I heard the band playing I asked my sister who it was and it's Hollywood Undead. Their songs are really bad, very explicit, but the sound of the songs I really like for some reason. Here is one of my favorites....
"City" by Hollywood Undead
I also like "Pain," "Young," and "Everywhere I Go"..... but again bad lyrics

System Down
Myself and DewTheZamboni have had computer problems in work in the last week. It's not good when that happens as the days get longer and longer. Luckily for Dewi, it meant she couldn't process checks, and she could chat to me on her fancy cellphone as she wasn't busy.... unluckily for me, it just meant I had some very long days!
Hope it's fixed today.

Under Arrest
Oh man it's so hot here. I was driving Patrick back to his car and by 11:30am it was already 90 degrees F. By the time I got home (after breakfast and dropping him off), about 12:30, it said 102 F. So I just showered and I'm in jeans and my bra, that's it... Jeans because I have to leave for work in about 50 minutes and that's what I have to wear. It appears nice outside by looking through a window, but man, it's so hot.
Exciting news...
When I was saying goodbye to Patrick, we were hanging out on the back of his truck and we noticed this helicopter circling just north of us. Nothing new, I mean it's not unusual, until we hear the pilot... "Come out with your hands in the air!! A K-9 unit is on the way. Come out with your hands in the air!" Patrick and I looked at each other like "no way!!" because we had never seen it actually after somebody before. He got close to each other and watched, and hoped we would be on TV on the news or something haha.
I could so use a nice rain shower right now... hot or cold, I just want rain. But I'm looking forward to next weekend. A week from today I am going on a hike with my dad, some of his work friends, Patrick, and possibly some of his Marine friends. Mainly I'm excited because we will be walking through shallow water the whole time, except for parts where it's deep enough to swim. It's gonna feel so good.

Tonight
I haven't left a post in a while hoping that Bloggingbrit would... I hope he hasn't forgotten. He wasn't supposed to, since his money-making thing involved blogging as well. Hmm... Well I'm going to go see Harry Potter tonight with the boyfriend. I've got approval he can spend the night so I'm gonna fix up the couch for him later. Might do breakfast in the morning before I have to take him back to the barracks.
I got to unload a semi trailer at work today... well I personally didn't unload it, I was at the receiving end and got to stack boxes. I rather enjoyed it. I could do that every time I worked. Boss said if they are light and don't say "fragile" then I can just throw them to the back/top of the stack haha. You should have seen me trying to throw this one big box, ridiculously light, but i could fit inside it... with Bloggingbrit in there as well!!
I've still got a while before I have to go pick up my boyfriend. Like 5-6 hours. No one is home, and they didn't leave a note, so I don't know where they went. I guess I could call and find out... but I don't feel like it. I'm lazy today.

Ouch
Grandma is here visiting... I burnt the roof of my mouth pretty bad earlier when I made my lunch... I was too anxious to eat it and it was hot. I don't know what else to say. Lately things that have been coming out of my mouth have been causing mixed emotions with certain people.

A Tribute to Billy Mays
I have planned on watching the Billy Mays tribute... it's labelled as Pitchmen... and within the first 3 minutes I already started crying. This is going to be a long hour. I still can't believe he is gone, it's not soaking in. I see his products in stores, including the one I work in, and I still see all his commercials, and it makes me really sad to think there won't be any more products endorsed by Billy Mays.
I also keep getting Twitter messages on my phone from Billy's business partner and good friend as well as fellow pitchman Anthony Sullivan, and he is still sad about it. I sometimes with I could join him on the dock and think about him. I don't know why I feel like this, I just know I liked his show and I can't believe he is gone. He had a family, a great job, and was genuinely a good person. He went too young.

Another Night
Wow, another evening spent with Patrick, my Marine. I guess I had neglected to say he was a Marine in my last post but i put it as a tag. Whoops.
He came over for dinner, we watched a little bit of Pirates of the Caribbean before heading up to the jacuzzi around 8:30. The security cameras got a lil show that's for sure. But Patrick told me he hopes that this lasts... that is our relationship. He said he is always the one hooking up his friends but never finds someone for himself. Or if he does they don't like him for who he is, they like him for his body. I don't understand how people can do that. I love his personality, and the nice body just happens to be a bonus. He told me he hopes it lasts because he really likes me, which made me feel good. I know he's not going to just use me and he seems really genuine.
We sat on the steps of the jacuzzi, I was one step lower and was leaning back against him between his legs. He wrapped his legs around me tight and hugged me against his chest and pressed his face against mine... we started talking about fantasies though... like he asked me what I'd like to try. I won't share what was said, but it was funny.
We rinsed off in the shower at the pool together... we were afraid we were going to have to take it cold... but the water started heating up.
When we got back to the house we grabbed the new Friday the 13th movie which my sister rented and went up to my room to watch it. He took off his shirt so he was just in a black tank top and we snuggled up on my bed together and watched it. He is so cozy and he holds me close. I mean I had my head on his shoulder/chest and my hand was on his chest and we basically layered our legs from the bottom up, mine, his, mine, his, and I could keep my other hand on his leg wrapped around mine.
The movie ended around midnight but we had to wait for his friend to pick him up because he was on a date with my other friend. So we cuddled on my bed till then, I really enjoyed it =) I think Patrick is the best boyfriend I've ever had... I mean I haven't had many, believe me, but I like him the most. Yes, I like him more than that Italian guy you may have heard of.

4th of July
My 4th of July was amazing. Food, cake, drinks, fireworks, and Patrick. We played with the hockey foosball table. Ate. Walked around the park and neighborhood. Watched fireworks in the back of the truck. Patrick held my hand =)
After we came in and sat on the couch and we watched then end of Adventures in Babysitting with my parents, but they fell asleep and were snoring. They went to bed around 11pm and we put on a movie after. Patrick picked out Tremors and we put that on and curled up on the couch together. After the movie ended, he rolled over so we were facing each other on the couch and hugged me tight, touching my arm, kissing the side of my head, and our legs were all twisted up. He took my hand and kissed it, then slid it under his shirt and man does he have himself some abs =D After a little of that he was holding my hand on his chest, and he whispered to me if I would go out with him and be his girlfriend. Of course I said yes.
We put on another movie, I went and grabbed Ghost Town and I had my eyes closed, because Patrick was relaxing me, but I heard him chuckle at some of the funny parts on the movie. He was on his side up against me from behind and had his leg wrapped over mine so I was stroking his leg and then i could feel his head getting heavy against my head, then I hear snoring. I was like 'awww he fell asleep.' I gave his leg a squeeze and I felt his arm across my stomach kind of tighten on me and he woke up. He ended up not even leaving until 3am. I talked to Bloggingbrit online while I was waiting for Patrick to get back on base, I was afraid of him falling asleep.
So I'd say it was a good weekend =)

Fish
Patrick and Christina and I went to go buy fish with me... I got on a whim and wanted a new pet... so fish are easy and really cheap.
But I didn't want ordinary goldfish, so I got neon-somethin-a-rathers and a lil water frog... then Christina had to go home in a hurry so I dropped her off and then Patrick wanted food so we got food, and saw Transformers: Rise of the Fallen (It's really good!!) but Megan Fox is like the idol for all males -__-
When I got home to check on my fish... they were all dead, except the frog. But it was weird because the fish weren't floating, they were instead floating on end pointing straight up in the air (a bit like Bloggingbrit... ooohhh he's gonna hate me for that comment). So in the morning I'm going back over to the pet store to get cheap $0.13 gold fish, since my $1.99 each neon fish lasted like 4 hours. The gold fish last up to a year or two. Grrr.....
But I didn't want ordinary goldfish, so I got neon-somethin-a-rathers and a lil water frog... then Christina had to go home in a hurry so I dropped her off and then Patrick wanted food so we got food, and saw Transformers: Rise of the Fallen (It's really good!!) but Megan Fox is like the idol for all males -__-

Uhhhhh
Gah!! The stupid boys outside I banging around a scooter trying to break it into pieces and it's really obnoxious. They are really destructive. And I'm a little annoyed. It's 9:30 at night, no one should be making that much noise.... and why are they doing it right in front of my house?! Ugh... Perhaps my irritability is a good sign?
I'm watching the Discovery Channel, they are having a Pitchmen marathon and the season finale here at 10.
I am officially hired, I worked today 9am to 4:30pm and I go in tomorrow at 8am until 4:30pm but will more than likely leave a lot earlier.
My friend is coming up for the 4th of July on Saturday. It should be interesting especially with my nosey aunt being around. I also have a figure skating class tomorrow, which should be interesting especially for a hockey player... toe-pick!! If my friend goes he is going to maybe take some pictures, haha Bloggingbrit will have a good laugh at them if it happens. I just know I'm going to eat crap. Hmph. At least it's only a 30 minute lesson... and it's free!! We'll see what happens.
So I'm writing this post because I'm bored. I tried knitting, but for some reason after counting all day and forgetting how to make ribbing, I gave up because my purl stitches were just being retarded.
I ate 3 breadsticks and a half of a chicken for dinner. And I'm still hungry. I am also running out of things to write, and I know Bloggingbrit won't be up before I go to bed. And perhaps I may not even talk to him tomorrow, I should though, I mean when I get home from work and before I leave for the skating class... ok, well I'm not feeling too well now. I guess I will finish up with this and lay down, I feel yucky.... ughhhhh
I miss you Bloggingbrit!!

Heatwave
It's been a while since I last blogged. Sorry about that!
We're never happy about the weather here in the UK. More specifically, we enjoy complaining about it. It's like a universal ice-breaker that is understood by everyone. Even this morning in the lift to 5th floor of the office I work at, I made some comment about how hot it is, and how there should be some law against having to go to work when it's very warm outside. The guy in the lift (that's elevator to you, Dewthezamboni), replied with something equally silly. I recognise him from the office, but don't really know who he is or what he does.
I should be blogging more regularly again as I have a little project I've been working on, which requires me to blog. I promise I won't neglect this blog for the others I'm involved in!
Back to the weather. We've had our first ever heatwave warning issued, and the government have issued some guidlines on how to keep cool. Helpfully, the BBC website has condensed the information into a top ten list of ways to keep cool. Hope it helps!

Billy Mays of Oxiclean and Pitchmen is Dead
Breaking News, Billy Mays, from my show Pitchmen, and who does all the "As Seen On TV" things, is now dead. Why is everyone dying?! I didn't believe it when my dad called, and he was laughing about it. Finally this is someone who I can really really appreciate. Yeah Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, but he was also strange. I loved watching Billy Mays show and seeing him on TV and now he's gone, I don't know what to feel. Who is next? Mike Rowe? The Mythbusters? I sure hope not. Now I'm just really pissed off, why is all of Hollywood dying? Here is the article from ABC7 one of my local news stations based out of LA
http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/national_world&id=6888192
It's sad too because I recieved his last Twitter yesterday on my phone. I'm gonna save it. Don't let me delete it.

Bonfire, Guy in Skirt, Flocking
Crazy!! So I literally broke down in tears and almost went home. I had the humougous-est car we own, in tiny parking spots... no parking spaces open... my friend was not being helpful at all. I got there and no open fire pits and my friend wanted to crash someone elses and join in with "the really cute guys" but I was not about to do that. I told her I was going home and she can have the wood. But just at the last minute someone left and gave their fire pit to us and all their extra wood.
My friends didn't come. They couldn't find the place. I got there at 7:25 and circled until 8:30 trying to figure out what to do and where to park.
I was sooooooo stressed out. I was panicking... not so fun.
But whatever, the really gay guy wearing a skirt did Polynesian dancing, another friend almost fell backwards into the fire, I didn't eat anything when I was there. And as soon as my friends (the ones that weren't lost) finally got there.... all the girls flocked to them. I had to go over the them and ask if they needed any help in getting away from the girls. It's like they had never seen a male before!... gah... that's what happens when you have too many guy friends... one brought a friend though that we're trying to hook up with the planner of this big bonfire. It was decent at the end, but it would have been more fun if Bloggingbrit was there haha. I was thinking about him though...

Michael Jackson dies at age 50
Michael Jackson died today at the age of 50. It's sad when you first hear about it through Facebook. Bloggingbrit and I were having a debate over our sources, whether mine was accurate or his was... or whether he was in a coma or actually deceased (sounds better than dead). He was dead at the scene but they took him to UCLA Medical Center and tried to resuscitate him. They are saying it was a heart attack. (sources from ABC 7 News in LA, on tv)
I'm trying to stay out of it all, I know it's all over the news and everything but I really don't feel comfortable about it at all, and I'm not sure why. I had just finished preparing my dinner when they were showing his body being airlifted to the coroners place. I didn't like seeing that. It scares me... and I want to become a doctor someday too.
Not sure what else to say. It's been a very interesting week. I just want it to be over without anymore deaths, please. And no unfortunate surprises either.

The Hangover
I just saw The Hangover and I have to say it's the best movie I have ever seen. There are brief moments of nudity, so if you're sensitive of that be aware. Otherwise it's a hilarious movie. Stu was my favorite character, the best of them all in my opinion. Here is a clip of Stu's Song from The Hangover

Burned
Owwy. I was making snickerdoodle cookies, and I was taking the last tray out of the oven when the parchment paper started to slip off so I grabbed it and caught the edge of the freaking hot cookie sheet with my finger briefly. =( Bloggingbrit needs to kiss it better =D
I just turned on America's Got Talent, the first act I really saw was someone impersonating Obama, and in my opinion he really looked like him, except his hair was a tad bit too long.
My burnt finger feels funny... I hope I don't lose my fingerprint. My grandma doesn't have all of her fingerprints because she was burned pretty bad years back. I was never told about it, but when she had to do something for filing for bankruptcy, she didn't have a birth certificate, and so they were gonna do something with her fingerprints, but she didn't have them all!! Crazy!! She could get away with murder, because she is pretty much nonexistent on earth!!

I Grabbed Three
La di da di da. I'm not sure what to write, but I thought I'd write something. I'm getting paid to help build a deck and dig holes. Bloggingbrit help helping build a door and dig holes. Hey, I've got a brilliant idea, we should start our own construction company.
Well I was bored, and Mobsters wasn't loading on Myspace so I grabbed 3 DVDs to watch. Ghost Town is on right now, but I'm still bored. There was something funny from Airplane! that Bloggingbrit told me about a while back but I can't remember what it was, so I grabbed that and I'll probably out that on when I finish writing this. And if I'm still bored, I grabbed Jeff Dunham's Christmas Special. Well, I think I'll put on Airplane! now. =D

Promises and Hate
Can you believe it? Bloggingbrit told me he hates me. This was supposed to be OUR blog and yet how many posts has he done? Like, 10 at the most, maybe? Get your shit together and stop hating people. You say you've spent all this time fulfilling other people's requests, you know you can say NO to them right? You're not OBLIGATED to be so nice... obviously, you make girls cry!!

Don't make promises that you can't keep
By Daneen Skube
Tribune Media Services
Q: I work in an extremely frenzied industry and just lost a promotion because my boss said I wasn't courteous enough. Specifically, he told me I take too long to return calls, make people wait over 15 minutes when we have meetings, and don't follow through on what I promise. Isn't he being unrealistic to expect me to do these things when every day is chaos?
A: No, your boss is recognizing that trust, integrity and respectful behavior are the foundation of a successful career. People believe you possess these qualities only when they see you voting with your feet, i.e., doing what you say you will.
In our hectic business lives, it's easy to try to make people happy by promising everyone we will do everything. However, when it comes time to deliver, no one is willing to accept our good intentions as a substitute for performance.
Ironically, you're probably in hot water with your boss because you're a really nice person. Most of my clients who overextend themselves are some of the kindest people I know.
They're also people who feel chronically harried, underappreciated and overworked.
Promising too much, like any bad habit, can be changed. The next time someone asks you to commit yourself to a meeting, a project, or an action, ask yourself the following:
1. If everything goes wrong today, will I still be able to do what I just promised?
2. Do I have enough information to know I can deliver what's being asked?
3. Are there factors outside my control that may prevent me from performing?
4. Do I have previous commitments that will interfere with this request?
One trick I teach many of my clients who over-promise is to hedge commitments with factors you know might interfere with performance. For instance, if you have a meeting scheduled during a time of day that's hectic, make it clear you're tentatively planning to meet but may need to reschedule.
In addition, if you default on a commitment, don't expect that your apology will fix the trust you just broke. Your future ability to keep your word will work better than any charming words.
