So, in the grand tradition of Sandra birthday celebrations/parties/get-togethers/etc, last night's attempt to dance my way into my 24th year was a total flop; everyone but my roommate ended up bailing for one reason or another. And the irony of the people who frequent Mod Nite more often than myself not coming last night, of all nights, is not lost ( Read more... )

I am three days away from being 24.

That's effing scary, people. I'm thisclose to being alive for a quarter of a century. Just the idea makes me vomit in my mouth a little bit. I am not nearly mature or responsible enough to be this old. What kind of 24 year old gets Pete's Dragon on DVD as a present and is absolutely ECSTATIC about it? Yeah, ( Read more... )

So, I was going to take a page from this this guy's book and try and come up with my own list of "Movies I've Seen Five Times." That is, until I realized how embarrassing my list would be; not only for the sheer volume of films, but also because of the quality of the films that would make that list. I can think of four Whoopi Goldberg comedies off ( Read more... )

1) Diablo Cody is the newest contributor to EW and I LOVE IT. I think Tina Fey has a new front runner for number 1 girl crush in my heart. Not only does she have frigging AWESOME tastes (Hi, Ellen Ripley AND Dorothy Gale?! Any list that consists of both of these kick-ass ladies is pretty much going to earn my adoration FOR LIFE,) but she ( Read more... )

It's the end of December! The time of year when everyone starts making their lists of their favourite things for the year. After reading numerous "Top movies of 2007" lists - including one Mr. Stephen King's - I decided to make a list of my own. Here are two lists I spent all day contemplating while I should have been packing. I'm awesome.

So, I realize livejournal hasn't been the priority it once was for me, but I just want all of you out there that still read this to know that I love you, and I hope you and your family have a very safe and happy holiday season. This time of year has the weird ability to make me simultaneously so joyous I could burst, and so sad that certain songs ( Read more... )

It's ridiculous how absolutely happy I am right now. Like, the goofy kind of happy. And all because It's A Wonderful Life is on TV ( Read more... )

I have officially decided that I really need to stop going to Zaphods. All my awesome memories of the place are fading and now all I associate the place with is sitting like a fuckin' sad sack on the stage, feeling depressed and sick to my stomach. Not exactly an ideal night out ( Read more... )

Best customer story ever: My brother told me today that a due came in looking for clear, liquid latex so he could make his own condoms. That's right, MAKE his own CONDOMS. Apparently he had molds and everything, he just needed the latex (GUH!) Once my brother composed himself long enough to tell the guy we don't have any, the dude left in quite the ( Read more... )

When you work at a place for long enough, you grow attached to the people you're working with. Especially when you work with them for long enough. The people I work with at Michael's are like a family to me, even the ones who drive me nuts. I've known most of them for years now and they all know me just as well. We laugh and fight and sorta hate ( Read more... )
