In case you guys missed this in comments… Zach is too much.
Sing this to “CopaCabana”
her name was lyn p
she had a birthday
with filipino colored hair
and a tattoo under there
she sang to no doubt
and shoot the jager
and while she showed off like a star
tommy always tended bar
I was totally stir crazy last night. So I went to the mall to return a skirt at Target and then went to Robinson’s as they were having a boot sale. Well, actually, I went to get some new Isotoners because I lost one the day of my car accident. That was easy enough, so I had to troll the shoes. And I found a rad pair of boots. They’re 9 West Black Nenecas.
So I was done with that around 9.30 and not ready to go home. The Redhead was out with the boys for one of his friend’s birthday, so I headed to Lamp solo. And I try not to do that because I *always* get into trouble when I go by myself.
I get there and Russ is there and he isn’t working. So we talk and he provides a good buffer to all the other guys in the bar. But he and Ian left to go to a party. And then these random guys start talking to me. All right, I am doing okay until these total high maintenance guys sit down. And they were just snooty and stupid. So the guy sitting a bar stool over sees me rolling my eyes and tells me that he totally agrees. So I slide over to sit next to Ted. (Further away from the high maintenance dudes.) And Ted and I start talking. He’s from Philly, so we started talking about football. And whatever else. Next thing I know, he’s telling me how great I smell and how sexy I am.
All right, enough doom and gloom. I just sent out the Evite for my birthday party. Okay, so what if my birthday is 4 weeks away? A girl has to plan, you know?
I don’t have everyone’s email addy’s so if you didn’t get one and want in, let me know. Because who would pass up filipino food, cocktails, and karaoke? Not me. And you shouldn’t either.
Sigh. I spent about 3 hours dealing with the car stuff this morning. I took it to get looked at by a friend who runs a collision center. Pretty funny moment when we popped open the trunk and all the crap that was in there was all strewn about and what have you. You can ask Ryan how much crap I have in there since he saw it when he changed my tire a few weeks ago. *A lot* of crap. And I kept meaning to clean it out. It was actually something I wanted to do on Thanksgiving, but never happened because I stayed up all night with Travis and then I had to cook.
Anyways, I guess the asshole that hit me has a pretty shitty insurance company. My friend told me that it could take weeks if I actually ran the claim through them. Sigh. So I got my wonderful insurance company involved. And they were great and have already called the collision center to give them the authorization on everything. Hooray! I still have to pay my deductible, but my insurance company will reimburse me once they get paid from the other insurance company. I’ll let them duke it out.
So I went to get a rental car. And I got a 4 door Honda Accord. Smaller than my car, so it’s a little weird to drive. But hey, it has a CD player, so I am all good.
Okay, so nothing happened the way I planned it yesterday. Travis and I talked and I was debating on whether to go to the show or pick him up from the airport. I was wavering because I had already seen Ms. Melissa earlier this summer and wasn’t dying to see the other bands. After a short debate, I called him back and told him I would come get him. So I went home and took a walk and then my sister called me. She was heading to see Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and wanted to know if I would like to come with. I was down for a mindless chick flick to kill time before I had to get Travis.
So the movie was funny. In a cheesy chick flick kind of way. I don’t know if it was worth the $9.50. Maybe better to see it when it comes out on DVD.
Anyways, so I go pick up Travis and then we went to the Lamp. Super dead in there but that was fine because we got to talk and what have you. I totally missed him. I got a song in (Smashing Pumpkins’ “Disarm") and then we headed to F Street to get that bracelet that I wanted from the other night. And then I drove him back to his place and then I went home. When I got home, I called him and was a totally mushy girl and told him that he had to allow me a sappy moment because I needed to tell him that I had missed him. I should have just told him that when we were together, but I am lame like that. In any case, I was really glad I got to spend time with him.
And now I need to get to work. Have a great day!
Whew...just got back from getting my car looked at....over $3000 worth of damage. Lovely.
But I do have reasons to smile today....
1. I’ve been Moxied!!! If you’re still seeing my summery skin, change your settings to the default and you’ll see Hello Kitty all wintered up. She’s so sweet in her animal print coat. Joelle outdid herself again!
2. I should be going to see Auf Der Maur at Soma tonight. Nothing like a show to get me in a better mood. Cross your fingers it doesn’t sell out before I get there.
3. Travis comes home today. I missed him and even though I probably won’t see him tonight, just knowing he’s home makes me smile.
I hope everyone is finding reasons to smile today. And if you’re not finding reasons, look for some, because it can’t be that bad.
I was feeling really crappy last night. But I had made plans to go to dinner and get drinks with Russian Drew and Emmalee. So I went and that was a good thing. We went to Sushi Ono in Hillcrest. I had the Ahi Poke, which is the Hawaiian way of preparing raw tuna. Excellent. And then we headed to AC for cocktails. A few Surfers on Acid were in order. That was good, but I wasn’t really in a partying mood. So we went to F Street. And even that was just okay. Though I think I may go back and get a new pink and black studded cock ring/bracelet.
Anyways, we went home pretty early and I went to bed. And I woke up with a really stiff back. Duh, Lyn, you got into a car accident and you should be feeling crappy. And I still hadn’t heard back from the asshole that hit me. So I called his insurance company and he hadn’t even called them. Can we say, ASSHOLE all at once? So I made the claim myself and will be getting my car looked at on Monday. Then I am headed to the chiropractor this afternoon.
It’s just such a pain in the ass to have to deal with this stuff. But you know, I could be dead, so this is a much better alternative. I will stop whining now and get on with my day. Yeah.
