hello, lovely

Joe’s in town this weekend & part of next week, so I probably won’t be posting as much. Here are a couple of fun quizzes to tide you over

You Are Emerald Green

Deep and mysterious, it often seems like no one truly gets you. Inside, you are very emotional and moody - though you don’t let it show. People usually have a strong reaction to you… profound love or deep hate. But you can even get those who hate you to come around. There’s something naturally harmonious about you.

I wouldn’t know as I’ve never had beer, but.. here ya go:

You Are Bud Light

You’re not fussy when it comes to beer. If someone hands it to you, you’ll drink it. In fact, you don’t understand beer snobbery at all. It all tastes the same once you’re drunk! You’re an enthusiastic drinker, and you can often be found at your neighborhood bar. You’re pretty good at holding your liquor too - you’ve had lots of experience.

I have to say that I’m really excited that Geek in the Pink is Mraz’s new single. It’s my favorite song on the cd.

GEEK IN THE PINK
by Jason Mraz
Yo, Brotha A to z,
Yo, wussup B,
Yo, What time is it?

Ha-ha, It’s laundry day!

(do do do…)

Well let the geek in the pink take a stab at it
If you like the way I’m thinkin’ baby wink at it
I may be skinny at times but I’m fat fulla rhymes
Pass me the mic and I’m a grab at it
Isn’t it delicious crazy way that I’m kissin’
This baby listen to this don’t wanna miss it while it’s hittin’
Sometimes you gotta fit in to get in
But don’t ever quit cause soon I’m gonna let you in but see

I don’t care what you might think about me
You’ll get by without me if you want
Well,I could be the one to take you home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn’t be a let down
But sugar don’t forget what you already know
I could be the one to turn you on
We could be the talk across the town
Don’t judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away

Like the geek in the pink (do do do…)
Like the geek in the pink, yeah (do do do…)
The geek in the pink

Well my relationship fodder don’t mean to bother nobody
But Cupid’s automatic musta fired multiple shots at her
Because she fall in love too often that’s what the matter
At least I’m talkin’ about it keep a pattern of flattery and
She was starin’ through the doorframe,and
Eyeing me down like already a bad boyfriend
Well she can get her toys outta the drawer then
Cause I ain’t comin’ home I don’t need that attention, see

I don’t care what she might think about me
She’ll get by without me if she wants
Well, I could be the one to take her home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn’t be a let down
But sugar don’t forgetin’ what you already know
That I could be the one to turn you out
We could be the talk across the town
Don’t judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away

Hey baby look at me go
From zero to hero
You better take it from a geek like me
Well I can save you from unoriginal dum-dums
Who wouldn’t care if you com…plete him or not

So what I’ve got a short attention span
A coke in my hand
Because I’d rather have the afternoon, relaxin’ understand
My hip hop and flip-flops well it don’t stop with the light rock
My shot to mock you kinda puts me in the tight spot
The hype is nothing more than hoo-ha so I’m
Developing a language and I’m callin’ it my own
So take a peek into the speaker and you’ll see what I mean
That on the other side the grass is greener

I don’t care what you might think about me
You’ll get by without me if you want
I could be the one to take you home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn’t be a let down
But sugar don’t forgetin’ what you already know
I could be the one to turn you out
We could be the talk across the town
Don’t judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away
like the geek in the pink (do do do…)
I’m the geek in the pink ya’ll
geek is the color for fall
I’m the geek in the pink
so i’m the geek ya’ll
in the pink ya’ll
geek is the color for fall
i’m the geek in the pink

I lost 5 pounds, yall!! 5 pounds!! *squee*

Teresa and I have this erm.. “friend” at work. We’ll call her Bumblelina.

She’s kind of clumsy & she likes to get into some funny situations. We’re going to make a game out of this and post pictures of her whenever we feel like it on our blogs, so stay tuned.

Yall, I’ve had the Frappr Map over on the sidebar for the longest time, hoping someone would see it and stick their pin in it, but I guess not. Most of you, dear readers, must be like me - you either don’t pay attention to the sidebar, or you’re reading through Bloglines or some other such feed-reader. *lol*

Anyway, do me a favor & stick your pin in my Frappr Map! I’d love to see where you all are from!

Wow! We went driving today and it took all of like, 40-45 min. *lol* Maybe an hour, but Joe says no… it took about 10 min. Joe’s on crack, and his sense of time kind of sucks (and by “kind of,” I mean “really”).

So anyway… I drove around. On real streets. With real cars next to me. Going really fast. I made it up to 45mph, which is a personal best. *lol* My turning kind of sucked today, but that’ll just be something I have to practice. I see lots of turning in my future.

Okay, that was SO WEIRD.
Someone just drove through the parking lot blasting Gloria by Laura Branigan.

Who BLASTS Laura Branigan? *lol* My MOM didn’t even BLAST Laura Branigan when I was a kid & that’s almost all we listened to in the car!! *lol*

What in the hell makes someone blast their music/bass? I don’t get it… if it’s THAT loud, it doesn’t SOUND good because you can’t EFFING HEAR IT! I mean, yeah, you hear NOISE. but how in the hell do you hear what the music SOUNDS LIKE?! or even the WORDS?!

And why do you decide to start BLASTING IT AT 10pm LOUD ENOUGH THAT EVERYONE IN THE BUILDING CAN FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL IT?!?!

GOOOOOOOOOOOD. I hate my neighbors.

Friday Feast.

Appetizer
How many pillows and blankets do you sleep with?
Technically, 4 pillows. Two usually get pushed down behind the matress though, so I usually am only sleeping with two. Generally one of two blankets as well - my falling-apart purple peacock afghan or my falling-apart purple leopard comforter.

Soup
What are you currently “addicted” to?
Crossword puzzles, listening to Knitting Podcasts, knitting.

Salad
If you could make a small change to your current routine or schedule that would make you just a little bit happier, what would it be?
Get home earlier. Unfortunately with my current situation, it’s impossible… but I’d sure be happier.

Main Course
Which adjective do you find yourself using often?
hmm.. I don’t know. Probably [blank]-ass. As in, “That’s a big-ass sandwich!” or “What a stupid-ass thing to say!?”

Dessert
Have you ever picked up a hitchhiker?
I don’t drive, so I can’t say I have, but I wouldn’t. It’s awful, because they’re probably not all serial killers and crazy people, and some of them might really need my help, but… I’m just not taking that risk!
