After recently getting stuck in a.... ahem... puddle? It has come to my attention that some friendships are much more adventurous than others. After reviewing the said friendship I have come to a conclusion and realization.
First Conclusion) Some friends should stay away from water, In ALL FORMS!
Why, well first because I shrink, and second because everytime it rains we either get lost, and then it hails, or we get to go swimming on 23rd street with said friends mustang...
Second Conclusion) You can say anything to that person, and even though it is complete jibberish, they know EXACTLY what you are trying to tell them.
Example: sand heating noodles, and thats all im going to say on the subject, oh yeah and macabre...... :D
Third Conclusion) You plan to go 2 days out of your way to do a couple things, in order to get to a destination..... and then if those plans fall through you are still going somewhere, maybe not as... shall we say glamourous, but you still plan to go somewhere, even if its camping in the back yard.
Example: Read third conclusion.....
Sometimes I think fate ends up throwing two people together that get along soooooooo well, that they can laugh about anything, and the whole thing, even a trip to the drugstore, turns out to be an adventure, and not a depress fest..... (lol even when said friends mustang is very sick... we still laugh with driving goggles....)

Destinations
While driving to a friends house the other night after dropping my mom off at work, I was sitting in the car at a red light, getting ready to turn left when the dumbest thing occurred to little old moi. Although the other people at the light were turning left, with me, we all essentially had different destinations, none of us were going the same place, and wrapped up inside of each of the cars, was in a way, a different world.
That got me thinking. Wouldn't it be super cool to start at one red light with the cars lined up to turn left, and follow where they all went on a high tech GPS? Watch what happened due to their driving actions? At the last minute say, one car decides to not turn right and cuts off another car by switching lanes, causing the guy who was cut off to slow down, causing him to be rear ended. Thinking that If the first car had of just turned right, there wouldn't have been an accident... Or say if the red mustang just decided to go home instead of down 22ND......
That lead me to another train of thought. If each and every car influences each and every other car, how much different is that to people? Will the way that I act around people, have a direct influence on their day, even the rest of their life? Can something that I do or say change how a person thinks, acts or behaves? How often to we say something in passing and never realize the profound or disasterous effect that it will have on a person...
Essentially the whole thought made me take one very large step back, and think, which, yes, I know, is a very very scary thing....

Sand Heating Noodles
Have you ever gone to say something and realized after you said it that it was not what you origionally ment? I, myself do it ALL the time... one minute we can be talking about say.... sewing, and the next I'll start going on about the really cool sand heating noodles that I bought today, to assist in the process of this crazy dress factory we have going on..... (uh whoevers idea this was, dude lol they have something coming :P) ...
I also find that when I'm tired, flusterd, or angry it gets worse. Its like some type of mental problem, (shut up I am aware of all the other "mental" problems that I have too)... similar to my moms calling of all the children and then the cats names, before she can find the right person. It just goes to show that although people have it together, sometimes, they dont....... hmmmm...
The other thing is pronounciation.... ever said something and then was like "oops, tee hee"... take the word massachusetts for instance.... Say that one wrong and youve got something coming.... or even the word buffet, its pronounced with a silent t, not like being buffetted by the wind....
All in all it just goes to show you how degraded our school system is.... wait hold on... forget it, totally lost where I was headed with that thought....
speaking of not knowing what your trying to say (hahahahahahahhahaha) I think that I am in desperate need of bed....
Ps for those of you who havnt figured out what sand heating noodles are, they just happen to be hand sewing needles...... now try to figure out how I mixed up that one, I still can't figure it out!

Past, Presents, and the Future of our Planet
I think we agree, the past is over -- George W. Bush
While visiting someones blog recently, I came accross this quote and I must say, of all the people to get something right, Old Georgie finally said something that made sense, and actually for once hit the preverbial nail on the head. (Now watch pigs will fly soon.)
I was thinking about the past recently, things I've done, places I've been, and mulling over the fact that, well what if I had done this instead. Or, Would this have gone better if I had not put whipped cream on his face when he fell asleep. Or even, why of all things should that have made a difference, does doing that make me a bad person?
And then I started thinking again. Why should any of that matter? Of course a person should grow from their mistakes, learn from situations, and potentially learn never EVER to repeat some things (like switching the sugar for salt on april fools day for dads coffee..... not good to do in the am, especially when you didnt realize that you made the coffee with instant sanka instead of the real stuff...) but why do we have to dwell on things. I mean even the word dwell makes me shudder, to me its absolutely DEPRESSING to be hung up on one thing for too long, I mean dude, it happened like ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh two months, even two and a half weeks ago! In my opinion either deal with it now, or just forget about it. If its not hurting anything, I say forget about it, get a sense of humor, it was a joke, or else not intended to offend you, and move on. I hate it when people are like, "so do you remember", and I'm like "yeah it was sunny that day and we went shopping and I got that outfit on sale and we had lunch at an awesome resteraunt."
and the person is like "yeah, then you blinked with your left eye and not your right and then accidentally took the candy I wanted from the tray of absolutely identical candies as we left the resteraunt."
0_O?
Ok first of all, Lol I know that is a bit over the top for an example, but you have to think, people are really like that! they get hung up on things and then won't forget about it. Personally I would like much more to just to remember the good things and forget about that time I threw up just after eating, at Montanas and we still don't know why, espically since I ran on a treadmill for 20 minutes, and was super energised later.......... hmm maybe I really was sick, I actually ran on a tred mill of my own free will...... In any case, The memory of humanity depresses me, think about it its not just you and me, ITS EVERYONE!
In your history class, you learn about all sorts of things, the emphasis put on the negative things, ex: the holocaust, all that super depressing stuff, but very little emphasis is put on some of the good things that happened in that time. Now some people are probably thinking k she is totally nuts, goood things happened then? but think about it. Oscar Schindler and his list, Anne Frank, The people in the resistance movement, The people who actually survived, escaped, yada yada yada!
In English... well thats just a depressing class moving on.....
But do you see my point? its humanities downfall that we look towards the negative, most of us are glass half empty not half full people.
I say why don;t we just stop thinking negative. Remember the good times, the really funny things that happened, like the Christmas video of dads bald spot, Lana pulling up her socks, and mom getting a peice of wrapping paper stuck on her bum and no one noticing or telling her for about an hour and a half. Not the fact that someone got one more present than me, or I got all used toys and they got new ones. Live for the present, like Melonie in Stephenie Meyer's book "The Host" said, "you never know how much time you will have". Instead of rushing hither and thither, why not stop and smell those perverbial roses, put some roots down, and send something other than an email forward as a form of communication!
(sorry people but a form of communication IS NOT A FORWARD!!!!) although I do enjoy reading some of them.......
Why not also think about the positive future! Other than "the world is going to hell in a handbasket" attitude why dont we think about other things like, that trip your planing to go on, meeting up with an old friend for coffee to catch up on the positive things, spending qualitiy time doing something with your family/children.
Hence forth I think the world would get much better if we all just thought a little more positive, the glass is half full type of mentality. And please please dont be afriad to laugh, becuase when you cant laugh not only is something wrong, but then I might have to come and tickle you until you do.
and when your positive, everything just seems so much......... brighter, better, wonderfuller, superdupererest..... lol you fill in the blank!
Oh i thought i should add this too... IF you MUST remember the bad things in the past at least be able to laugh at them with someone.... like the time i was poked in the ribs while makeing the closing announcement at work, and i got the giggles. That was embarrassing, but I can definatley laugh at that now...... although i could have held a grudge on Judy forever.... lol

Growed up
I remember a time, WAAAAAAAAAAAAY back about oh, two years ago, I thought i knew everything. Now, I definately know that I don't know everything, but I definately know a whole lot more than I did two years ago. For instance, I have come to the realization that staying up super late, then sleeping in late, is quite a stupid thing to do. Not only for the simple reason that I have a job and that when going to bed at three and then getting up to try and be functional for nine in the morning will not happen, but just because I have come to the realization that morning is an awsome time.
When I wake up, the light is usually pouring into my room through the overgrown trees in my backyard, this is about seven thirty or eight. The birds are singing (sometimes VERY loudly) and its usually nice and cool outside, making this one of my favorite times of the day. The other thing is that usually no one else is up, except my mom. Now when I say this is my favorite time of the day I don't actually mean I am one of those people who literally jumps out of bed in the morning, sings along with the birds, and dances as I get dressed, like Mary Poppins. (Sadly I must admit I do dance SOMETIMES when I get dressed, but usually when I'm getting ready for church in the evenings and I am fully awake and listening to something along the lines of Kirk Franklin.) To be quite frank those Mary (merry) people scare me..... a lot. When I get up in the morning I honestly just look around, kind of shuffle towards breakfast and some chai tea, and then, either read a book for a few minutes, or like now, check my email (well when I have the day off). I like waking up slowly, enjoying every moment of it.
I did used to think staying up late was super cool but I have discovered in my very old age, (heeheehee) that 1) when you have to work it just doesnt work
2)You end up feeling sleepy at the oddest times of the day
3)There REALLY is no point when the only thing you can do is play on the computer because everything else is closed, seeing as you live in a city where everything closes at 9 on weekdays and 6 on the weekend.
The only problem with this is when I do go somewhere and things are open late, and I don't get to bed before ten or eleven, I am a grouchy bag the next morning, and I need an afternoon nap. (That is if I don't fall asleep at the function the night before :P)

And for those of you who think I'm a grouchy bag anyways, keep your comments to yourself! I'm pretty sure I know who you are anyways so don't make it more obvious... I mean that in the nicest way possible.....

Proteins=Chicken and beautiful buts
Have you ever gotten something stuck in your head, that just wont come out? like for instance your sitting in church and the pastor says something and your mind IMMEDIATELY skips and jumps its way over to a completely different topic? ESPECIALLY when its a serious topic and your trying to concentrate, or even when he says something that is SO not funny but the way it came out sounds just halarious, and you sit there shaking, turning beet red with pent up laughter, thinking okok its not REALLY that funny, only to have to submit to a completely new round of shaking laughter? its worse when someone who is sitting beside you cant help but laugh either, because they are so tuned into your poor mushy brain that they know EXACTLY what your thinking! I honestly feel bad when this happens.... what must my poor pastor think? im sitting there looking like ive got the paulsy and ive choked on something, and hes preaching on evolution, or some other such topic.
i must say though... above all things that make people get the giggles at church, a very loud, or in some cases (especially from the yonger crowd) muffled noise emited at the exact moment when the preacher takes a breath, can usually garentee that the rest of the service will be filled with fits of silent laughter from those who hear it.

Fishy Smelling Wishes
So I started thinking and decided that i needed to keep everyone informed on my very very eventful life, which is so not true, at all...... and then i was thinking about how i just graduated and how I'm supposed to be living the dream, or whatever, and i realized ive been duped. Instead of Living the dream, i have been pushed (well not pushed but whatever) into the work force, that or my other choice is University or Colledge, YUCK! For now I'm done with school and much more into work. How long that will last who knows, what I do know though is everything that us grads were promised has yet to come true. Although pushed into the big wide world with everything I need to survive, (excuse me but i still dont get where calculus and Physics are supposed to fit into this......) I'm kinda bored. Its no wonder that people go through a mid life crisis! if this is all there is to the work force, I may as well retire and become a bum! lol cuz this whole work all the time thing, really really stinks.... maybe ill just live in my parents basement forever and sew.... lol I'm sure my parents would enjoy that... no I think what I would really like to do is expeirince a bit more of the work force, travel, and then get married and raise some kids. Which to me would be the best job of all.
