Since, I couldn't crawl to work why bother with...
This whole wanting to vomit thing isn’t going to work for me this new year’s eve. I am about 5 minutes from calling it quits and going to bed. Pregaming the night before new years- is NEVER a good idea. This is the most hungover I have been in ages- all from drinking rolling rock. It’s 6:30 pm and I DON’T feel well.
I am off to Finnerty's for happy hour!
see everyone there!
I suck at Oregon Trail:
Pamela is on the verge of death.Anna has typhoid fever.You have reached Big Blue River CrossingAli Gallion has dysentery.You have reached Fort KearneyAnna Boozer is annoyed at you.You have reached Chimney RockAli Gallion has typhoid fever.Todd has explosive diarrhea. Sorry Todd.
The below quotes are chronicles of my first...
This is one of those times where I wish I had commenting, it would be interesting to hear what people think of my 23-24 year old self. I was a very strong willed person at that time. I am still strong willed, just a bit funnier and dismissive. I don’t allow myself to sit and ruminate or get all emo.
“Funny thing, I have been sending B random thoughts, usually profound, and he...”
– Where did this girl go? I think if I met 23 year old self now, I would probably like her.
“B was trying to determine if I was dating anyone and I was like just myself. I...”
– God, guys still to this day think I am running all over town! (December 11th 2003) I wish! If I had the sex life that men think I seem to have, I would be a complete rockstar.
“He then asked me if I liked him and I was like yes, and he said the same. But I...”
– And the hits keep coming! It’s comedic gold! (December 26th 2003)
“I have a new gf who I am trying to help with her love life. She is such a...”
– Crazy BIATCH! I had to dump that almost as soon as I befriended it (ok, it took years, but I finally did it). Stupid, stupid 24 year old.
“You don’t have to sleep with a guy to get him to like you. And unfortunately...”
– Even at 24, I was so wise! This one still holds true.
“I don’t know what is going to happen with J at this point, I do like him, but I...”
– From my sweet, innocent, naive 24 year old (December 28th 2004) self via my old live journal. That was written at a time when I was so boy crazy I couldn’t keep my head straight, now I am mostly “boy-less”, okay, completely. But whateves, I have a cat. Side bar- J turned into...
Joe's man musk
has sent Lola spiraling into heat. Thanks alot, Joe. You put up with her incessant cat calling at 5 am.
Diddy and Ali are SO my parents.
Since Diddy and Ali are sans cable and internet, they decided to go on a man date and check out the “new” Radegast in the burg. I, also, sans internet and cable, crashed it. And what followed was a pleasant dinner and equally pleasant after dinner drinks. They should be happy I showed, cause it was totally a man date. The most ridiculous part of the night is by far where Ali...
God I love insurance.
In anticipation of my insurance kicking in on Jan 15, I made all of my doctor appointments. This will be the first time ever where I don’t have to pay to go to the doctor. Through my insurance, we don’t even have to bother with copays. It’s pretty awesome!
I am trapped in my office-
because a big Santa and 50 kids are single (singing, I swear to god, I go dyslexic whenever I try to post) jingle bells outside my door.
If by work....
you mean holiday party (yes ANOTHER ONE), that’s apparently what I am doing today. I am just here for the free food! I just lost a game of Sorry! to two of my coworkers. This sucks.
A Happy Holidays shout out to my new best friends...
I just wanted to write a quick thank you for bumping me up to first class last night. After the massive panic attack I had yesterday afternoon, those roomy seats, endless glasses of wine, and the first class smile really made my day. It was the best flight I have ever had and I wish it had never ended. I thought it was really unfortunate that I had bothered to eat dinner as you conveniently...
God I love my camcorder!
It is so on! On another note, if anyone has attempted to call or text me in the past four days- phone’s been off. Didn’t bother with it since I was in Indiana. I know that everyone loves to send mass “Happy X-MAS!!!!!!!!” text messages on holidays. I love that I get them from people who barely know me (b/c they got my number at a bar) or friends who have disappeared for...
Just wanted to clarify a previous comment. →
This wasn’t about any bloggers in particular, just more of a general comment, when realizing I no longer read 50% of my bloglines.
Strangest gift I have ever received. →
Now I have to figure out what to do with the whole case I received.
Two thoughts:
1. My sister just texted me “idk” about tomorrow’s shopping. I only know what this means from those cell phone commercials. 2. Also, in regards to my blog rss feeder- the best thing about breaking up with blog friends is you no longer have to read their blog. You can’t even begin to know how much it annoys me when people reference blog entries in their conversations. ...
What a long day!
I am drinking a corona and watching home alone 2 as I am home alone too. The rents are at a christmas party and I just returned from Sweeney Todd. What a creepy movie! I feel very unsettled, hence the corona. I am actually a little freaked out to be home alone. I realized something today. My mom talks a lot! We spent the day getting our hair did and pedicures. My toes look fabulous and...
Headed to walmart!
Jfk is horrible. I miss flying ata. Delta can suck it!
Ah! I am at lga and my flights out of jfk. Stupid mom! Thank god for taxis!
Or you can keep Caprica Six in your pocket always. →
Adam's Christmas wish →
Frankly I would rather have a life size of Caprica Six, she’s hot!
Tacky bars and things I do with my kid sister.
I am all dressed to go to club landing tonight since my plane lands at 10ish. It’s my sister’s 24th birthday and we are going clubbing. Clubbing in South Bend isn’t really clubbing. It’s more like a nice bar with a makeshift dance floor. The interesting story about the Landing is (I believe), it used to be a fancy restaurant on the water about 10 years ago. Then it...
Hey Amanda →
Do you hear that….do you hear that?
This made my day! →
Evaluating Charities →
I am actually NOT impressed by these two gentlemen. Maybe it’s my 7 years of philanthropic education/research/employment, but I find it somewhat humorous that in their research they found ” almost three-quarters said they would give more if charities spent less on administration.” but yet pay themselves on 65,000 a year. Program is expensive, you are providing a service. ...
“Oooh! What are we going to do on New Year’s? What will I do if I...”
– Ali being a dick over email. In my defense, all my friends do is talk about sports- what do they need me around for anyways. and they will most likely be talking about sports on NYE which is why I prefer to go to a party with more people than just ourselves. Sometimes when we are at happy hour, I...
Damnit-
Last New Year’s Eve is making this NYE impossible to top. If I wanted low key, I would stay in with my cat and chug wine alone.
“I am all over it, unfortunately, I haven’t been that successful. Anyone...”
– Email to crew about NYE.
No photos of blogger happy hour.
None of them are really appropriate to post here, except this one.
The perks of having a regular paycheck.
It’s amazing the things you can afford from having a regular paycheck. I have been broke for a number of years and haven’t been able to afford regular comforts that you people take for granted, such as taking a cab to the airport. No instead, I have suffered through the A train to the M60, a rough 2 hour commute. NO LONGER! I just booked my very first super shuttle ride for...
It's 5:30 and I am still at my desk...
because I am too exhausted to move and in desperate need of a glass of wine. and no one’s around to get one with me.
DO. NOT. WANT.
any more christmas parties!
Last night...
If you want to avoid a hangover, Todd, I am talking to you. Here’s my fail safe easy method. Step 1: Buy a 1 Liter and 1.5 Liter of Smart water. Step 2: Buy some emergen-C and some tylenol. Step 3: Drinking emergen-C, tylenol, and 1.5 Liter of Smart Water. Step 4: Go to bed. Step 5: Drink 1 Liter of Smart water and take another emergen-c in the morning. You are good to go! Yay! ...
Blogger happy hour is in an hour and I just got my...
The night does not bode well. at. all.

Funniest NY Times article title to ever show up in my google reader. I actually thought the article was about food.
giggity, giggity, alright.
My previous foul mood has dissipated a bit. In our office, we have roughly one cute coworker. After working here for 2 months, I finally had a convo with him. He’s a very funny guy.
My foul mood started with the A train...
and has sinced moved to on to three rants to my coworker. Blogger happy hour can’t come fast enough. Beer me now!
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to query,...
Now you what I spent my day doing and I am stumped. I have tried disseminating the records into smaller categories, but I think I am going to have to print the whole thing out and literally comb through it with a high lighter. And do this tonight at home while I do laundry. This is what happens when you have a “creative” job and people ask for your opinions on things. Okay, I...
