Wicked

So if you care to find me
Look to the Western sky!
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who ground me
Take a message back from me!
Tell them how I am defying gravity
I'm flying high, defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!!

Love Love Love

You are the packing peanuts in the poorly packed cardboard box of my life.

There is this new game that I want to play. It's called Edward Fortyhands. You duct tape 40s to your hands and you can't take them off until they are empty. It's so ghetto. I love it. OC-you're up for it, right?

I love Tom Petty!!!

Went to the Tom Petty/Black Crowes concert on Sunday night...FABULOUS! If you ever get the chance to see Tom Petty live, jump at it. The entire set was made up of songs that everyone knew, so it was kind of one big hippie sing-along. I could go to that concert every day.

Only 11 days until the wedding!!! And only 10 days until I am officially Fifi's godmother!

Writing soooo many thank-you cards. This is not the most fun that I have had with the wedding.

Sgt. Bilko...if you are reading this, I am temporarily without my cell phone. I will call you when I get it back.

So much work to do and so little motivation to do it...maybe coffee and a ciggy will perk me up.

Soft Rock Mania!

Air Supply is playing at the Agoura Dinner Theater in October!!! Why oh why don't I know anyone who would go to it with me????

Also, how is it that Hoobastank is already playing state fairs???

Vintage

Ten years ago today I was getting ready for my first day of high school. KT and I went to good ol' LSE to pick out our locker and have our yearbook pictures taken. We walked there in the 100 degree heat because we weren't yet old enough to drive by ourselves. I went school clothes shopping with my mom. I think that I was still into some cheezy store at Eastpark back then. I was so very excited to finally start high school. I thought that it was the pinnacle of my whole life (in some ways, I guess I still do, but that's a whole other Oprah). I can't believe that it was ten whole years ago. That means that I have had my group of friends for a decade. I don't think that any of us ever thought that we liked each other enough to stay friends for this long. The weather out here doesn't change, but there is still something in my internal clock that feels like fall is the start of something new. I just wish my mom would take me shopping...

Cows

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born inCanada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state ofWashington- and her calves to their stalls, but they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give them all a cow.

(PS, I didn't write this...I copied it out of a forwarded email. I just thought it was really funny and true.)

Sonic Boom

This is not a good way to be woken up at 5 AM. I about jumped out of my skin. And of course I couldn't get back to sleep after I had been jarred awake like that. Glad the shuttle made it home though.

It has been a CRAPPY past few days. I think that I am having a breakdown. Fortunately, my work bridal shower is this afternoon and presents always make me feel better. And receptionist is turning 21 today, so drinks after work. If I can't feel like a normal human being, at least I can be crazy with drinks and presents.

Gonorrhea? In my finger?

So I woke up Monday morning and my right index finger was all swollen and painful. It's not bruised, but it hurts and I can't bend it very far. I probably injured myself in my sleep right? Well, because I am a hypochondriac and I am also not sure that there isn't a fatal finger disease that I don't know about, I asked my med school friend about it last night. Her response was that it could be gonorrhea. WTF??? Turns out that certain types of infections target joints and gonorrhea is one of them. Eeeeew! Good news is that I would have had to catch gonorrhea somewhere, and since I haven't been promiscuous in years and poor fiance doesn't have time to be promiscuous, I probably don't have gonorrhea. I really should stop asking her about disease possibilities though...it's freaking me out. There is a term for med students who diagnose themselves with every new disease that they learn about. I wonder if that term applies to the future doctor's friends...
