Daily Quiz
Seen at Whitter’s.
Which Mythological Form Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
Describe Yourself (in a hundred words or less)
Because you really want to know these things. Seen at Space Kitten.
I am: woman, hear me roar.
I know: you know everything - I know you didn’t mean it. Taking Back Sunday lyrics. I am a lyric girl, what can you do? If I hear a melody and actually read the lyrics, I’ll always be able to sing along. Sometimes very annoying since stuff at karaoke can be very lame.
I have: an unhealthy obsession for the radio. First it was sports talk (Jim Rome) and now it’s FM 94/9. But I am quickly becoming addicted to my Launchcast station.
I wish: that The Guy I Really Like and I could figure things out before I start to completely freak out.
I miss: my best friend, Patrick, who lives in Norway. I wish he was around so I didn’t have to deal with time zones when I call him. And I would love to be around to see his daughter grow up. But he’s lived there for 10 years now and the fact we are still friends just shows me our relationship is stronger than ever.
I hate: when I am being a whiny girl. Usually boy related. Damn them.
I fear: that I will never be content with being with just one guy. I mean, you get married and you’re supposed to have sex with the same person for the rest of your life? Right now, I can’t imagine. But if there’s someone out there that can make me not want to sleep with other guys, then it’s all good.
I hear: the clicking of keyboards and people on the phone with clients.
I search: for the next new place to visit.

Back in the saddle
So I am back. Nice to get away because I actually got stuff done while I was gone. I did 20 odd pages of my scrapbook this weekend. That’s awesome because I was so far behind. I’m on track to have everything caught up in the next few weeks, which is good because I only get busier as the end of the year approaches.
And I did go out last night. I skipped BSC and just went to the Lamp to hang with Boytoy. Had a few drinks, sang a couple of songs (Hole’s “Malibu” and Garbage’s “#1 Crush”.) Good times.
I didn’t have to work today, so I got up late and made breakfast and took a short walk (1.5 miles) and did errands. Now I’m off to to the gym and then (hopefully) to meet Emily for happy hour. My last few hours of freedom before getting back to the routine tomorrow.
Now where is that martini glass? Cheers.

Let It All Hang Out
I don’t know how I managed to get all worked up about this thing with The Guy I Really Like while I am here in Vegas supposedly trying to have fun. I mean, it’s been fun and I’ve been out and about and what have you, but I think not seeing him before I left made me really miss him while I’ve been gone.
So I talked to him yesterday before we left to go out. And I was already buzzed while we were talking, but after numerous Vanilla Vodka/Diet Cokes at the Monte Carlo, I called him while we were waiting to catch the shuttle back to the condo. And you know what happens when you drunk dial. All sorts of things came out of my mouth.
See, things are complicated because I knew there were a few things working against us to begin with. Like the fact he doesn’t live in San Diego. Or that he’s taking 15 units this semester. Oh, and he works two jobs and one of those jobs is with a really good friend of mine, who doesn’t know any of this is going on. Yeah.

Two Nights Worth Writing Home About
I made it to Vegas in one piece! Hooray!
But let me get back to Wednesday night, since I have to say that the Pinback show at the Belly Up was really good even if I didn’t get to hang with The Guy I Really Like. On Monday night when I went to FM 94/9’s CD listening party, I met Sara, the band’s rep from the record company. She’s from Chicago and seemed really nice. So I saw her at the show and we ended up hanging out for the night. Good times. Except we were hanging out in the reserved section with some VIP’s (read Halloran and Tom Delonge from Blink) when some sort of scuffle broke out and there was broken glass and people getting 86’d by security. That was not cool. Eh, it didn’t distract me from how good the band sounded. My favorite songs from their set were “AFK” and “Fortress”. Of course, the crowd went wild when they did “Penelope”. But that was to be expected since that is their most popular song.
Enough of that, you want to know about Vegas. We (Heather, Randy, and I) left for Vegas at 1pm and got here by 5.30pm - excellent time. And we all had a beer and then I left to go get groceries. I made fried rice and we grilled a few steaks and then it was off to the Nugget. After a couple of hours playing video poker and slots, we headed to the Horseshoe and played blackjack until about 2am.
So Heather’s man, Randy is super cool. I don’t always agree with her taste in men, but this one’s a winner. And all my apprehension about this trip dissolved somewhere between Barstow and Primm. I have had a great time so far!
And as an added bonus, I did get to talk to The Guy I Really Like. I feel kinda lame that I called him but I am glad I did. It just makes for a perfect ending to a stellar day.

.2 - at least it’s not my BAC
Besides not being jacked up to go to Vegas, I am also a bit disappointed at today’s weigh in. I’ve been doing Weight Watchers since the end of February (33 weeks thank you very much) and have never gained an ounce at official weigh in. That is, until today. A whopping .2 lbs. Yes, that’s point 2. I know, stop tripping, right? You don’t know me very well then, because I AM TOTALLY TRAUMATIZED. I beat myself up all the way home and then proceeded to eat a bunch of these tortilla chips that I swear are the reason why I gained that point two. (Damn you, Trader Joe’s Spicy Flax Tortilla Chips, you taste just like Doritos!) All I know is that after my episode with the tortilla chips, I need a drink.
And thank God, that will happen tonight. I am going to the sold-out Pinback CD release show at the Belly Up in Solana Beach. And maybe, just maybe, I will get to hang out with The Guy I Really Like.
And then I’ll be able to get over myself and get back on plan. Tomorrow is another day and I’m coming back thinner, damn it!
RFTC - I'm Not InvisibleVegas, Baby, Vegas
I am leaving for Vegas tomorrow. And I cannot muster up any enthusiasm about going. I know, what is wrong with me? It’s not like I am going with lame people, I’m going with Karaoke Heather. Today is her birthday and we usually go somewhere to celebrate. So we’re staying at my timeshare resort, which will be super nice. But I’m just not into it this time. She’s bringing her new man and I asked The Guy I Really Like to come with, but he couldn’t work out the logistics to go. And then Boytoy was going to meet us there, but now his dad is coming into town so there goes that idea. So just me, Heather and this dude she’s seeing. I don’t know if I am just really disappointed that The Guy I Really Like can’t go or if I am a little apprehensive about hanging out with Heather and this dude. I think it’s more that I really wanted to spend more time with The Guy I Really Like. Sigh.
Now I don’t doubt we’ll have fun, because we will. I can’t have a bad time with Heather. And I decided to bring the first season of Alias to watch since I missed that season and also my photos from this year since it’s October and I haven’t even started on my photo album. So I’ll be busy during the day. And we’re planning to go to House of Blues on Friday night. That’s always a good time. So I just need to quit my whining and pack and get the hell out of here. Yeah, that’s it.
