June 6, 2008 Crystal im cool, medium

so after watching an episode of scrubs where J.D. does a triathalon just minutes before he turns 30 — so he can cross it off his list of “things to do before turning 30” — i was, umm, inspired.

im 24 and three quarters (hi. my birthday is Aug. 23. feel free to send me vegan baked goods) and i figure now is as good a time as any to create of list of things to do before turning the big 3-0. (this way i have like FIVE years to get this stuff done).

1. visit hawaii

2. write a book (and get someone to pay me for it)

3. get a decent paying job (without selling my soul)

4. get a kitchen table

5. quit drinking soda. (hmmm. this sounds hard). quit drinking kool-aid. (yes! i’ve already done this!)

6. meet johnny depp. (wait. already did this too! sorry. actually i just wanted to bring that up one more time.)

7. not have a car payment.

8. grow my hair out past my shoulders (or make enough to buy hair extensions).

9. visit south dakota

10. pay off approx. 33 percent of my $45,670 worth of student loans.

11. or! win the lottery (and/or marry rich) and pay them ALL off!

12. get published in Time magazine (a “letter to the editor” totally counts here)

13. go skydiving (cliche, but who cares).

AND finally:

14. stop thinking 30 is old.

so there it is people. feel free to hold me accountable.

accomplishments today: 2.5

so, while ‘other’ people where oh umm, getting closer to the presidency, birthing or celebrating 38 years of life, i pretty much did nada today (sigh).

sure, sure, i baked some vegan chocolate chip cookies (which didn’t suck), finished up some dishes, tried to hang fabric over my wall-length mirrors (i say ‘tried’ because i had to give up on that when i decided it was a two-person job), went for a walk (complete with ankle weights), and watched TWO movies as well as a Living Single marathon on WE TV — i pretty much feel like a lump on my (super awesome) couch today.

you know, compared to these ‘other’ people.

don’t get me wrong, i do have a few things to show for my actions.

1. a new celebrity crush (antonio banderas).

2. stronger calves (but just barely)

and

3. clean dishes

but i just feel like i wasted away june 3, 2008.

im going to go ahead and justify it by pointing out that i will be working the next TEN days in a row.

but even so, i feel pretty lame.

and p.s. GO CANDIDATE X!

seriously.

i think i have enough faces. and books

June 1, 2008 Crystal im cool, medium

so, i currently have two facebook accounts (one for my undergrad at WIU and one for grad school at UofI-springfield), a myspace, a twitter account, this blog, a blog for work, and ummm another web-thing that requires upkeep.

so im thinking of deleting one of my facebook accounts.

also, i can’t keep the passwords straight.

but im scared. and i can’t decide which one to delete. western? or springfield?

the point is, if you randomly aren’t my friend on facebook any more, blame the abundance of passwords i have in my life.
