I need a "joyride" icon. Bueller?
Seriously, folks, hook me up. I'm a lazy bitch who can't be arsed to make her own damn icons after almost 5 years on Livejournal. You know you love me! *ducks all the tomatoes*
Oh, LJ. I am truly sorry for being such a fickle, absent biatch lately. I love you kids! ...but you can't compete with the fact that it has been fucking BEE-YOO-tiful lately, which means I've been out as much as humanly possible. Seriously, my day lately has been: go out running, go to work/shopping/working on the house/go out again in the evening AND ALSO GO OUT SOME MORE. I'm gonna lose like 10 pounds from all the walking and running and hiking I'm doing, I'M SO HAPPYYYYYYY.
...less happy is all the gas money I'm probably wasting by my joy-rides around town. Er. Whoops. Seriously, though, I know the good weather has been seducing others aside from me;
jou certainly does, anyway. We DO enable each other. It's terrible.
More so, I know I bitch about Ohio sometimes, but I will GUT YOU WITH THIS HERE CHOPSTICK if I hear someone try to tell me that it's not awfully beautiful when it wants to be. Shut up, yes, the highways are ugly, that's how this works. But you've never seen Oakwood or Sugarcreek or Hocking Hills or Athens, either, if you think it's all ugly as sin, so go away. Also, there is NOTHING that beats driving around in warm weather and sunshine past cute little farmhouses and corn fields with your windows down, blasting something like the Ramones or Eagles of Death Metal or (one of my personal favorites) the Lilo and Stitch soundtrack. (It's all Elvis and cute kids singing Hawaiian songs! ...I am such a sap.) That's something I'll really miss out West. I know Cali is super-congested, which means I'm probably screwed EVEN BEYOND the super-expensive gas. Oh, well. You'll all get to witness me having a crazy driving boner during my road trip in a few months, so that's okay.
Anyway, yes. Not been around much lately, have I? I guess I need to stop apologizing for that, because I can't say I'm sorry I've been so busy. The wedding is in less than four weeks, we're already talking to a realtor about the steps we need to take to sell the house, and I'm in training for my new job. Two Fall Out Boy concerts this month withstumphed, too. *dances*
Also! How AWESOME is the new Green Day song? Huh? Huh? Yeah, that's what I fucking thought. I've been sooo goddamned starved for these boys for what feels like ages now, and hearing Billie Joe's voice again is just wonderful. They sound so fucking GOOD. I'm going to blast it on the way back to work.
Speaking of work, PF Chang's is AWESOME. They somehow manage to strike the perfect balance between professionalism and casual, and the restaurant itself is lovely, with lots of open windows and two patios and lots of attractively curved artwork and pretty Oriental-style decorations. The people are awesome. Also, my life is SO HARD: Training has consisted of sitting down and trying almost everything on the menu in order to better be able to describe the menu to guests. MWUAHAHA.
I went birthday shopping on Friday withjou! I shall shortly be posting pictures of my shtuff, I promise, so feel free to skip that post when it happens. Heh. I'm happy, though. I went kind of crazy with the girly summery stuff. Whoops.
I have to be back at work in 20 minutes, by the way, so sorry this is poorly-organized and kind of random, but I felt like hollering at y'all since I've been kind of AWOL lately, and also, I really do apologize for how shitty I've been about commenting on journals lately. *hangs head* There have been several days where I've opened the computer, taken one look at LJ, said, "Fuck no," and went to do something else, for no particular reason. You may commence with the beatings at your leisure.
I'm sure there was something else but I have to go or I'll never be back to work on time. MUST FINISH TRAINING SO I CAN MAKE MONEY.
A few last important things:theory_of_chaos, you haven't received your CDs yet because I am a horrible shitty slow person who keeps failing to go to the post office. They're all done, written out and everything, and... not mailed because I suck. *dies forever* I'M SO SORRY!! But I love your mix, I've had it in my car as I'm driving around and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I promise I'll get that out to you tomorrow!!
revid, I FINALLY got the first issue of "Paste" and I LUB IT. Thank you again! My mother thoughtfully didn't throw it out with all the other crap when it came in the mail. *dies*
leighrowena and _somniac_, do not think that I will not come after you with knives and forks if you try to wimp out on posting all about your Vegas trips. SO AWESOME! My flist rules (even when I suck at keeping up with it, FAIL). Ha, they probably won't even see this, since they're still off painting the town. *kisses to them in absentia*
And now I really must go. Have a lovely evening, boys and girls! ♥
