Because I know you've been waiting with bated breath

Friday I got off early and went to get my hair done. And, well, it looks the exact same. My lady tried to talk me into some long bangs but I declined--first off, my hair is curly and I feared that they wouldn't look nice unless I straightened my hair everyday and I just refuse to go through that torture for an hour every single morning. Not at my age. She always dyes what is supposed to be a medium brown, because that is closest to my natural color and all that we are really shooting for is the covering of gray, but it always has a reddish tint to it. I think I've just got a lot of red pigments in my hair that come out when it's dyed. Next time, I told her I want to go with DARK brown, almost black but not quite. Think Audrey Tautao or Sarah Silverman. That's right--I am emulating my current girl crushes. Gotta problem with that?

After I went and had a couple of drinks but that was sorta boring so I went home and hung out with Craig. Well, hung out while he played MiddleEarth and I watched What Not to Wear reruns.

Saturday we met the family out at the park for John's (My aunt E.I.'s boyfriend of 25 years)company picnic. he works for a liquor distributor and so the beer was free. Which means his daughters got completely shnockered and tried to get me to ditch Craig and go with them to a bar afterwards. I was good, though. I figured it was only polite to leave with the person I came with. So I went home and then left later to meet them. We went to a country bar and I sat my ass on a fucking haybail drinking beer watching everyone line dance. The girls were starting to irritate--they can be a little attention-whorish at times--and so I left at 11, went home, and slept.

Yesterday I actually subjected myself to the MTV Movie Awards, but only in support of my girl Sarah. I'm glad I did, if only for the shit she talked about Paris Hilton: "Maybe when she goes to jail, they can paint little penises on the bars to make her more comfortable. I would be concerned about her chipping a tooth though." the rest of the show was one gigantic fucking advertisement for the Transformers movie. Craig is very excited about its release, along with the release of the new toys, but I will be boycotting it out of principle. We hung in there until the end of the show, because it sort of seemed like Ms. Silverman disappeared halfway through and we wanted to see if our assumption that she had gone AWOL after seeing what a steaming pile of corporate marketing the whole thing was was correct, but she showed back up. I was pretty mad at myself for wasting such a large chunk of my life until Johnny Depp made a surprise appearance. I really thought he was too cool for such things but then I remembered that him being there really WAS cool, because it's all based on fan-votes and the guy is seriously cool to his fans. the guy could hardly speak because everyone was screaming so much. I was pissed that they were treating him like a piece of meat. He's so much more than that.

When it was over we discovered that we were missing the Democratic debates. it made us feel like really shitty Americans, so we stayed up to watch the last hour or so. I'll tell ya, hillary is a really well-spoken woman, but that Obama...let's just say he could leave his boots under my bed any old time he wanted.
