: ) enough said.

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).

are there D-list politicians?

September 1, 2008 Crystal go (candidate x), medium

i’m not going to pretend like I remember bill clinton playing his sax on arsenio hall.

but I’ve taken enough political science classes (see: crystal’s undergrad major) to know that it was a turning point not only in presidential elections, but also pop culture.

I picture millions of people saying: WHAT? presidents are PEO.PLE? they like TALK SHOWS? weird.

skip to 2008 and not only are presidential candidates people, they’re gossip blog fotter.

Perez hilton’s dishing about Sarah Palin having a pregnant 17-year-old daughter. clinton’s convention speech was mentioned on pop crunch. and edwards’ affair was EVERYWHERE.

isn’t that the kind of news reserved to add a little spunk to boring political web sites like time.com? or cnn?

im just sayin. maybe someone should look in to this whole internet/blog thing.

i think it’s going to be big.

it might even start changing how we elect our next president.

might.

rain, rain, go away

August 30, 2008 Crystal humor, medium

first of all, what the heck kind of name for a hurricane is Gustav?

really. 

gustav?

why couldn’t they go with something more fitting? like DESTRUCTOR. or maybe, BRINGER OF AWFULNESS.

you know, something with a little more bite to it. 

gustav sounds too nice. 

I wish I could say, “whatever dude. I live in Illinois. hurricanes don’t affect me. and how bad could they be? I mean rain? really. for crying out loud, this one is named Gustav.”

but i can’t. because my Aunt Gail, Uncle Randy and my two cousins Michelle and Elizabeth live in New Orleans. 

and so does my friend Lyndon. 

and they all have to pick up and leave town to avoid the stupid hurricane casually making its way to the golf cost. 

where the JUST HAD a hurricane three years ago. 

and from what i understand, they haven’t quite gotten everything back to normal from that. 

my family currently is driving up here to Illinois to stay with my grandma for awhile. photo albums, important documents and pets in tow. 

and im pretty scared for them. 

as for Lyndon, i’m not sure where’s he headed, but I’m scared for him too. 

so I’m going to go ahead and pray that Gustav takes a turn for the ocean and miraculously misses their town.

if you want, you can pray too.

and then maybe, this will all end up being a bunch of people overreacting. 

maybe.
