I just want to let all the lesbians out there know if I can make the top ten, so can you!

Setting: A quiet night at home watching the Miss Universe Pagent with the family.

Carlene: Miss Philippines looks like a tranny.
Mom: What do you mean by tranny?
Carlene: Like a girl with a dick.

I'm burning up, burning up for your love...

It's been icky hot and I know its going to get worse. Dammit. I'm not a big fan of demon hot weather. I like sunny, but not sweaty. Breezy, not beastly. Delicious, not gross. You know?

On top of the heat, due to an electrician accidentally pulling the wires a bit, the complete upstairs of the house was going FUNKY. One side of the house didn't have any electricity. My side, the lights were a bit brighter than usual. So much in fact that bulbs blew out the moment I flicked on the switch to the bathroom and my bedroom. Oh, and my fan went CRAZY! Seriously! I walked into my room and it was full on blowing air... and continued to do so when I pressed the button to TURN IT OFF! Talk about scary! Oh and top of that, I had a Glade Plug-In in one of my walls and it was steaming! My room smelled like burnt lychee! Accck!

Luckily we had the electrician come over and he fixed it, which is good because I was scared just to be in my room for fear that something might just blow up on me. If a Glade Plug-In starts boiling, who knows what could happen to my camera battery charger!?

At work "Your mom" is a very popular retort.
"What are we going to do next?"
"Your mom."

"You're stupid."
"Your mom is stupid."

Etc.

When "your mom" isn't the best response:
"Guess who died?"
"Your mom."
"OH MY GOSH! WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!"

Are you just going to come here and go all Dawson on me every time I have a boyfriend?

Last night at 1am, the Dawson's Creek finale was showing on tv. Granted, I was tired and I need to be up the next day, but the temptation of Pacey and Dawson was much too strong to resist.

By 1:15, I was sobbing my eyes out for poor Jen.

1:30- I was still crying.

1:45- still going.

Basically, any time they showed Michelle Williams, I cried. And the waterworks went full force when she made the goodbye video for Amy and she says "Love to the tips of your fingers. And when you find that love, wherever you find it, whoever you choose, don't run away from it...but you don't have to chase after it either. You just be patient, and it'll come to you, I promise, and when you least expect it." And again when she said that she felt that she didn't belong and then Jack responds by saying "You do belong. You belong to me, Jen you are my soulmate."

My heart flutters when I think about it now. *sniff*

And in the end, Joey picked Pacey. Back then, I was uber excited because I was a Pacey girl. But now when I think about it, Joey was boring and whiny and Pacey totally deserved better. Dawson totally got the better end of the deal! But now that Joey is married to Tom Cruise in real life... HA!

Awww, I love reruns.

She's hot as a baker Cause I'm Naughty by Nature Not Cause I Hate Cha

During my first year at the Hotel, my co-worker Anny and I learned we had one thing in common... love of old school music. We're not talking about your momma's old school (althought I DO love me some K-Earth Oldies!) but old school OLD SKOOL. Lisa Lisa. Stevie B. The Jets. Stacy Q and her one song. That's the era of awesomeness I'm referring to. That year, there was a concert called the "FREESTYLE EXPLOSION" with Stevie B that we each had heard about, but since it was being held my birthday weekend and with me being a newbie with no seniority, plans for a life let alone a concert were pretty non-existant.

Fast forward 3 years.

Our friend Taua has friends who work for the Honda Center and always has tickets to concerts there... this time she doesn't want her tickets:
Taua: I have there tickets and I don't want to go. I don't even know who's going to be there.
Anny: What concert is this?
Taua: Something... explosion.
Anny: FREESTYLE EXPLOSION!?! I'M IN!!
Me: (with dog ears, running down the hall) I'M IN!!!!!!

That being said, the concert was pretty KICK ASS! Granted, I felt old. With a line up of Coolio, Naughty by Nature, Stevie B, Lisa Lisa, Young MC, Klymaxx... you can't help feeling old. Based on their popular hits, Anny and I were putting bets on how many songs they would be allowed to perform. Young MC- 1. Tone Loc I thought would have 2... but he had 4 songs I knew! Coolio suprisingly enough did 4 songs, 2 of which were recognizable. We also had bets as to who would finish the concert. I had Naughty by Nature. Anny had Coolio. Another surprise... we were both wrong! It was STEVIE B! And yes, he had a good number of hits! Spring Love. I Wanna Be the One. Dream About You. The Postman Song. All good songs... just slightly off key. It must have been the acoustics in the arena. Hmm.

Well since there was no way in holy hell I would have been able to sneak in my camera... I did have my poor quality camera phone to mark the occasion.

Stevie B... in a White Suit.

Lisa Lisa with her Backup Dancers.

Naughty by Nature Hip Hop Hooraying.

Ew. I really should get a better camera phone.

Nexttime, I'm hoping they get Surface, Atlantic Star, Candyman, and Sir Mix A Lot. That would be amazing and totally old school mix tape.

With Scooby Doo on Channel 2

Its funny, for the last year whenever I've been asked how old I was, I'd  never say "27" but instead reply "I'm turning 28."   I don't know why.  Perhaps it’s the feeling that 28 just seemed SO OLD ALREADY and I was mentally anticipating the actual age change.  Plus 27 doesn't seem like an exciting age… 28, that's 2 years from 30!  That just sounds daunting...

Now I'm 28.  Eek!

Just kidding.

Sorta.

What's been really nice is that all throughout my birthday whenever I was asked how old I was, my response was typically followed with a "NO!  You don't look it!" or "I was thinking 24… tops."  I even got a "I didn't even think you were allowed to drink" in which I think the person had abused his right to drink profusely when he came up with that quip.    Silly drunks.

My birthday itself was low-key… which was absolutely perfect.  Sushi, spa, and an oh so delicious dinner with family.  What more can a girl ask for!?  Work the next day  at 6am was hard to wake up for due to several glasses of wine that night, but definitely worth it when I found the office brightened with pink and red balloons, a little pink table set up with Hello Kitty napkins, plates, lots of food including my very own birthday cake!  :)  Who knew that my first Hello Kitty Birthday party would be at age 28?!

Hello Kitty will eternally make me feel young.

Baby I'm ready to go

The last few minutes of my day went by sooo sllllllooooooowwwwlllly.  Talk about a cruel joke. 

Above is a picture of a dirty plush kitty that was found in the lobby and someone thought it would be hilarious to put on my desk because everyone knows how I get all grossed out.  It was followed with many off-colored remarks from the guys who swear that they have never touched a dirty kitty.  Never. Gross in fact.

Under the kitty is a picture of Andrew's honey bear and Robert's honey bear.  I love the fact that if you lie it down, Robert's honey bear looks like it's about to do crunches.  Poor Andrew's honey bear lost its arms somehow.  Maybe Robert's bulk-up bear tore his arms off in a honey fight.  Insane.

I really do need a new camera phone...

Why is this so hard? That's what she said. Oh my God, what am I saying?

Although SNL is pretty much hit or miss with their skits... this was definitely a HIT. :D
