In which I dump my feeeeelings.
That one Wednesday where I was in the complainy-est mood of THEM ALL.
-I’m bored at work lately. I need to go out in the field. I need something to be happening. Or something to look forward to.
-I’m stressed because I have all of the busy in the world wrapped up into my Fall. And I’ve had to fucking strive to go to ONE mothereffing game in Blacksburg. Like, fights with the...

What We Love to Hate About College Football →
meredithbklyn:
2. Bowl-game halftime shows Say, that was a great first half! We’ll be back for the second half in twelve hours. Let’s just cease all football-related activity for half a day and send each school’s respective marching band out onto the field for an interminable mash-up of “America the Beautiful” and Katy Perry’s “Firework.” You want marching bands? Go rent Drumline. Otherwise,...

Watchbritneyspears:
And the 4th ‘Femme Fatale’ single is… CRIMINAL! Watch Britney reveal the exciting news last night backstage at the VMAs.
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Also, my boyfriend called this. Also-also, I wasn’t the one who made him listen to Britney.

My weekend in crappy phone pictures.
(My camera died when I was in Italy, so this is all I have.)
Thursday night: Britney Spears in Charlotte!!
It was amazing!! Obviously, I love her. We had floor seats and it was just…SO MUCH!!
Friday: Arrive in Asheville to our cabin on the banks of the French Broad for our cousin’s wedding. This was our front yard.
Saturday: The oldest cousin gets married!! So pretty!! They...

Things I've accomplished today
I drew this sweet MS Paint interpretation of an innovative (for SC) bridge construction technique. Giant falsework is my calling.
I also tried to explain online wedding registries to my father via email. That, my friends, is quite the challenge.
Oh, and, you know, printed out my BRITNEY tickets!!

Brenda Song is having a baby with Trace Cyrus. →
WTF, y’all. Also, this is brought to you via stalking J’s gchat status.
I especially enjoy the end where they say the couple wasn’t expecting it and don’t really know what the hell to do about it.

Where the shit is my boyfriend.
In related items: It makes me annoyed when I have boring work days and my friends have non-boring ones and they can’t keep me entertained.

Things that are difficult.
Being minorly involved in a wedding.
Hear me out:
-If you’re majorly involved (bridal party, immediate family, grandparent, etc.) then you obviously know exactly where you’re going to be and what to do.
-If you’re just a guest then you know what to do. Find your hotel room, show up to the ceremony, drink all of the drinks. Fabu.
-But, alas, my cousin is getting married this...

The "first" fried cheeseburger. →
They say it’s from Ohio. BUT. There is an AMAZING “restaurant” in Lander, Wyoming called The Dairy King where they make an abomination* called the Cheesewheel. THAT, my friends, is a deep fried cheeseburger.
Every Friday we had either pizza from Tony’s or Cheesewheels and poppers on the construction site at the Loop Road in Shoshone National Forest. Saturdays we fished...

Some hilarious co-worker emails.
Between me and the boss, RE: annual leave:
Me: I have put a request for annual leave in the G Drive folder. I will be leaving at noon next Thursday (for the BRITNEY SPEARS CONCERT!) and taking off Friday as well.
Boss: Oops…I did it again! Your leave is approved. (get it)

Thing that makes me feel mature.
One of the friends whom I will be visiting in DC for Labor Day calls me T-Dubs. This is short for “trainwreck.” He calls me this for a good reason. I have been known to be quite the blackout artist.
Pretty excited for all of the stories he’ll be telling the boy. Nice work, CP.

I’m pretty sure it’s impossible for me to go the entire day without putting my hair up. Makes no difference how long I spent doing my hair*. It will always end up in either a ponytail or one of those “rat’s nest” bun things that only looks good 1 out of 14 times you do it.
*Which, in the summer, is zero minutes. It gets washed and combed. And air dried. But in the SC...

Nationals Schedule | nationals.com: Schedule →
Guess who realized that she can go to a Nationals game when she’s in DC over Labor Day???
Amazing because 1) I’m kind of trying to see all of the MLB parks, 2) the boyfriend is pumped about it, and 3) they’re playing the Mets so it will really piss off my die hard Mets friend that I get to see his team.

True Confession Tuesday
Evidently this is what I look like when I’m smitten with a boy.
Please be aware that we were at Brew at the Zoo (you know, a beerfest at the zoo. duh.) and it had torrentially downpoured. I mean, we’re at a bar in this picture, but still…the hair, the bra busting out…all effects of the rain. Promise.

kimbaland:
I’m still upset angry about Panera changing their chicken noodle soup recipe.
OMG. this is real, isn’t it?? I thought it was different the last time I went, but maybe it was just because it was late and I was starving. WHY IS THE WORLD SO DIFFICULT???

joyengel:
Since the boy obviously waited to have sex until that May wedding night, Trig Trucker jet engine Track’s new wife must have some sort of insta-grow uterus. Maybe she can give Vanessa Minnello some pointers?
My number one reason for having absolutely no faith in Sarah Palin? Homegirl can’t even raise her children to respect her. How the hell is she going to be able to get a...

The boy just booked a ticket to join me in visiting my friends in DC for Labor Day weekend. So, we’re travelling together. (Not together, persay. He reminds me that some of us have to work on Fridays and therefore can’t leave at 11am during a workday for a boondoggle “vacation” where you get drunk with your sorority sisters and watch VT football. Psh.)
