September 3, 2008 Crystal humor, im cool, medium

seriously, I am so happy right now.

not like, ‘i-just-met-johnny-depp‘ happy. more like ‘i-finally feel-content’ happy.

today, i got ready in my VERY OWN bathroom. and NOBODY made me put my hair dryer away after I was done with it.

nobody.

it’s just hanging there attached to the outlet as we speak.

then i folded my laundry that i had left in the dryer overnight. i can do that now, because I don’t have to go down to an apartment complex laundry facility in the basement to wash my clothes. instead i can wash them just.down.the.hall.

THEN i went out through the attached garage.

i have NEVER in my entire life lived in a place with an attached garage. i had always assumed only rich people had these. apparently this is how the other half has been living.

THEN i noticed that FALL IS HERE! MY absolute favorite season! cold without snow. heaven.

you are not going to believe what happened next though.

i drove to work.

and it only took me 16 MINUTES.

people! that’s about 1 hour and 14 minutes LESS than the commute i used to do.

what the heck am i going to do with all this extra time? (blog?)

in conclusion, im pretty freaking happy right now.

(apologizes if this post makes you want to gag because im too happy, but seeing as how i can’t stop smiling i don’t really care).

bloggin bout blogs

September 1, 2008 Crystal im cool, short

so my very awesome new co-worker is about six seconds younger than me, which means she’s about 5 light years ahead of me in technology.

she’s been telling me about all sorts of cool things, (google reader, html) since i met her two months ago.

recently though, she changed me life when she pointed me toward THIS blog.

it’s written by a woman named penelope trunk. (i’m pretty sure she stole her name from my car).

it’s AMZAING!

seriously.

and i’ve linked to it on my blog roll (See right-hand column).

and i’ve found myself sending posts to people i know.

and then i just decided to write about it here.

and tell you guys to read it.

all of it.

every post.

go now.

because it rocks.

we’ll go ahead and call this a regularly appearing feature: random thoughts 2

August 27, 2008 Crystal humor, im cool, medium, random thoughts

So since I’ve been so, so bad at blogging lately, I’ve decided that a good way to post in the middle of the week is to do a list of random thoughts. without further adu (is that how you spell adu?) here is my second installment of random thoughts. (read first installment here.)

· I signed up for political text message updates from MSNBC, and they are seriously sending me 10 a day during the convention. I’m pretty sure my co-workers think I’m popular because my phone keeps lighting up, but really I’m just a nerd who’s finding out things like ‘Confirmed – Bill Clinton will not attend Barack Obama’s speech Thursday evening’ and ‘Anti -war protesters at Pepsi center-War vets w/bullhorns demand to give letter to BO. One police helicopter is circling. The air space is close otherwise.’

· I really, really don’t want to move this weekend. and when I do move, I may not have a bed for like a week. I’m too scared to ask my new roommate if I can sleep on her couch.

· Why can’t anyone invent a good sports bra? Either it goes over your head and provides awkward support that hinders your ability to breath, or it connects in that back and offers no support what so ever. someone at NASA should get on this.

· I’m actually liking my job, although I have this constant fear that I’m going to screw something up and ruin the world.

· My aunt sent me this video and you need to go watch it right this second. I tried to embed imbed put it in this post, but I couldn’t figure out how. don’t be lazy. click the link and watch it right now.

· I spent my last $3.20 at mcdonald’s yesterday. I totally bought three items off the dollar menu and then I felt guilty for spending my last $3.20 at McDonalds.

· Who do you think the next president will be?

· today I stood in line for 1 hour and 12 minutes just to get a free burrito at the new chipotle in crystal lake. what? I like free food, and remember. I just spent my last $3.20 at mcdonalds so it was either that or peanut butter and jelly at home.

· ok. seriously folks. i really don’t want to move AGAIN this weekend.

· how long do you think i can get by wearing flip-flops? late october at least, right?

· today was the first time someone asked me how old I was since my birthday. I confidently replied “25? yes. twenty. five.”

· my mom just got a black berry and now she reads my blog on it, so I feel like i should blog more. (hi mom!).

· if i ever get married, im totally eloping.

· seriously. hold me to this.

· I’m really glad God invented spell check.
