And it was rock...

Mon, 06 Jun 2005 01:17:40 GMT

I am so friggin' hot I can barely stand it. Today was our first hot & humid day. :P We don't have central air, and my dad hasn't put the window units in yet. So now I am sticky and gross. I will be taking a cool shower soon.

Ryan & I signed our Agreement of Sale papers for the house today. Another step towards getting it built. I got to pick out the kitchen cabinets & counter tops, and the marble top in the master bath. It's very exciting. :D

I just remembered I have to stay 2 hours late at work this week, Monday-Wednesday. The manager that DIDN'T hire me wants me to help work on a project. I should tell her to fuck off. :P

I just watched Angelina Jolie on Inside The Actor's Studio. I know they cut a lot out of it, but it was still wonderful. She's so honest. :) It was nice hearing her talk about her film roles and how she prepares for a movie.

Anyway...

my dreams

Sat, 04 Jun 2005 15:06:01 GMT

Oh my...I was having the most INSANE dreams about Jonathan Rhys Meyers* last night...I can't even describe them for the most part...all I know is that I kept making out with him like hardcore and it was SO hot. And it was like Velvet Goldmine Jonny...sigh...

Do dreams really come true? ;)

Friends

Fri, 03 Jun 2005 13:30:40 GMT

I just made a friends cut. :/ The first one I've done since I've been on here.

I apologize if I offend anyone.

Randomness

Wed, 01 Jun 2005 19:03:47 GMT

*sigh* I don't feel like working anymore today. It's too damn nice out.

Ryan & I are going to Great Adventure on the 24th. I'm psyched to ride KINGDA KA, the tallest & fastest coaster in the world! *eep*

I'm attempting to make a list of goals for myself.

-Lose at least 30 lbs.
-get a decent tan
-pay off at least one (or two) credit cards
-get a new job

That's for now. I'd like to have them mostly accomplished by the end of summer. End of August? Possibly. I could be halfway there by then.

I need new summer shoes and clothes. All my sandals are falling apart. I really want a pair of black pinstriped capri pants.

Have I mentioned I hate my job? *throws stuff*

Ooh, I forgot to mention that my best friend Jenna* set a date for her wedding! May 20, 2006. I'm so excited for her! She is working so hard on it and I know it's going to be a beautiful event. And lucky her is going to Australia* on her honeymoon! :D

Oh Lawd I had a traumatic experience driving into work today.

I hit a BIRD. A robin, to be exact. :O

The little sucker dive-bombed right in front of my car and got sucked under the wheel. I heard a *thump* and then feathers flew everywhere. I looked in my side view mirror and saw the poor little thing rolling down the road.
Sorry for the graphic detail. :X

I felt SO bad. :( Poor little guy. *sniffle*

A dilly of a pickle

Tue, 31 May 2005 02:50:50 GMT

Oh no karmalaa...what are we going to do?

Cinderella is playing in AC the SAME night as Duran Duran!!!

Cinderella is playing at the Taj Mahal and DD is at House of Blues.

What EVER will we do??? :X

Granted I love Cinderella but I am NOT paying money for Firehouse & Quiet Riot.

Duran Duran wins easy. Plus I'd get to hang with karmalaa and sugarchay. ;)

Holiday weekend

Tue, 31 May 2005 01:57:32 GMT

OK, quick weekend rundown. I'm so tired right now I can barely put a sentence together. :P

Friday was our trip to Atlantic City for the Billy Idol* show. We went with Ryan's sister-in-law's sister (make sense?) and her husband. This was the first time we had been to the Borgata and I was really impressed. I felt like I was in Vegas*. Anyway, Tina & I walked into the Event Center, got a glass of wine, then walked into the concert hall and 10 minutes later the show started. Nice. :) Billy was awesome! cherry_divinity you were right...his body is RIPPED! Totally hot. Steve Stevens was rippin' it up too. They played for 2 hours and did all the great songs..."White Wedding", "Rebel Yell", "Eyes Without a Face", "Flesh for Fantasy", "Sweet Sixteen", "Hot In the City"...plus he did a cover of "Who Are You" and "Heartbreak Hotel." I loved it. :) After the show we met up with the guys and went into a club in the hotel called The Mixx, which was fun. We got home around 2am, Ryan & I had some HOT sex :X and crashed.

Saturday afternoon we went to Ryan's nephew's first b-day party (WHY does a child's first b-day need a DJ and buffett?!) and that night we went to see Star Wars Episode III. I LOVED it. And can I say, Hayden Christensen is so unbelieveably HOT...Ugh, I was drooling all over the place. He's got those hot pouty lips. *drools* Overall though I really enjoyed the movie. It answers all the Star Wars questions.

Yesterday was a family bbq at my house, and today I FINALLY did some cleaning and we had more family over for MORE food. Sheesh. I did good though, I didn't overeat. *sigh*

Anyway, that's about it. Now I'm beat. :P

Give us NJ folks some credit...

Fri, 27 May 2005 19:54:31 GMT

We're not THE stupidest drivers...

Stupid drivers

...just the THIRD stupidest. :P

It's a nice day to start again...

Fri, 27 May 2005 16:56:13 GMT

Going to see Billy Idol* tonight!!! This will also be the first time I've been to the Borgata in Atlantic City, which is supposedly fabulous.

Is it weird I'm more looking forward to seeing Steve Stevens than Billy Idol? I've always dug him. His hair was so wicked back in the day. ;)

Tommorrow Ryan* & I are going to his nephew's 1st b-day party, and on Sunday my family is having a cook out. Thankfully the weather will be much improved. :)

Hope everyone has fun plans for the holiday!

Isn't the Bono* icon caboosylucy made for me super sexy?! :9

Fri, 27 May 2005 01:37:02 GMT

What an annoying evening I've had.

I had to go to the doctor's for a simple check up. Actually I had to get a prescription renewed but they wouldn't do it unless I had a visit with the doctor. Whatever.

My appointment was for 5:30. I didn't get into the exam room until 7 PM. This was after I went and complained to the nurse at the reception window, AND after I had been skipped over on the patient list.

I was done with the doctor in about 10 minutes. AFTER stepping on the scale and finding out how much I weigh. I'm not even going to say what it is because I'm embarrassed and disgusted. I need to lose at LEAST 30 pounds. No joke.

It's now 9:30 and I'm just eating Chinese Food. :S

Again on my tirade

This is exactly what the jackass Tom Cruise had to say.

Question:

Wed, 25 May 2005 16:52:29 GMT

Can anyone recommend a good vitamin or supplement for energy?

Just a rant.

Wed, 25 May 2005 13:19:17 GMT

OK, now I heard that Tom Cruise is bashing Brooke Shields, of all people.

I can't get to the article, but I guess he was slamming her for taking anti-depressants instead of seeking more holistic therapy, as I guess Scientologists such as himself would do. I feel bad for Brooke because apparently she suffered some horrible post-pardum depression, so bad she wanted to harm her child. This is something quite a few women go through and she is just bringing attention to it. WTF? Who is he to diagnose her? I am starting to dislike him more and more. Is he going through like a mid-life mental crisis or something? Ugh.

Ick, gross.

Tue, 24 May 2005 17:28:00 GMT

Why do photos/TV clips of Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes just make me want to VOMIT? He is slobbering all over her and it's really gross. Supposedly on Oprah he was jumping all over the chairs exclaiming how crazy he was over Katie. Ugh. Good for them if they're all happy and stuff, but sheesh.

Tue, 24 May 2005 14:56:51 GMT

Lord I feel like crap.

I really wish I was home in bed right now and not sitting at my desk.

My head is SO congested, and my nose is bright red from blowing it all night last night. I look like I was run over by a truck. :P My hair is gross as well. It has like no shape to it. I'm growing it out but it's driving me up the wall.

At least it's quiet in here today.

Mon, 23 May 2005 14:04:02 GMT

As you all know, the U2 show was last night.

UNBELIEVABLE.

I had such a fantastic time and left the venue in complete awe. Every song sounded perfect, the crowd sang SO loud, and the stage and lighting were amazing. BONO...my God. I am so impressed with his talent, his sense of humor, his stage presence...his humanity.

I was brought to tears several times during the show. The first, at the end of "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own". Even though I know Bono has sang this song dozens of times, you can still feel how it breaks his heart and how he misses his father.

At the end of "Running To Stand Still" they show the Declaration of Human Rights, which brought me to tears as well. More out of anger, because I know those Rights are still being violated in this world every day. Tears also came during "Pride (in the name of Love)" and "One".

Some of my fave moments/songs were "Elevation" (the crowd was loudly singing "Wooo hooo, wooooo hoooooo" and Bono smiled and said, "That's Philadelphia for you!"), "Sunday Bloody Sunday", and "The Fly", which felt like I was watching the ZOO TV tour.

One lucky girl in the front row was pulled up on stage by Bono during "Mysterious Ways" and danced with him, and then stayed up there as they went into "With or Without You" (which apparently they've only played once earlier on the tour), when he held her and sang to her. Damn lucky girl. ;)

Here is the set list:
(I think this is right)
City Of Blinding Lights
Vertigo
Elevation
Gloria
The Ocean
Beautiful Day
Miracle Drug
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Love and Peace or Else
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bullet The Blue Sky
Running To Stand Still
Pride (In The Name Of Love)
Where The Streets Have No Name
One

Zoo Station
The Fly
Mysterious Ways
With Or Without You

All Because Of You
Yahweh
40

Overall, an absolutely amazing experience. October won't get here soon enough.

(BTW cherry_divinity I hope my message didn't ramble too much...I was kind of overwhelmed. Hee!

Because I'm bored waiting for Ryan to get ready for U2***

Sun, 22 May 2005 21:28:16 GMT

Take the quiz: "Which Dead Rock Star Are You?"

Jeff Buckley
You are Jeff Buckley! You're influential to many young and old, and very talented. You have charisma and grace that sets you a part from many. You are beautiful! Oh, he died in 1997 from a drug-induced drowning in the Mississippi River.

I'm not easy on my knees...

Fri, 20 May 2005 02:19:37 GMT

How EXCITED am I???? Only TWO more days!!!!!

My first U2 show ever...Bono in person...it's going to be such an amazing experience. I've grown to love them so much over the last few years, so I know it's an experience I'll cherish. :)

Vegas photos!

Thu, 19 May 2005 16:07:52 GMT

Warning kids, there's quite a few under here! :)

One of the highlights of the trip for me was the Pussycat Dolls Lounge:

On the second day we were there Ryan & I rented a car and drove to Primm, which is about a half hour outside of Vegas. We rode the Desperado roller coaster and saw the Bonnie & Clyde car.

Ryan driving in the desert :)

The newest hotel there is the Wynn, and it is amazing. It was right across the street from TI.

You should have seen all the waterfalls!

This was a shoe store in the Esplande, I thought it was cool. :)

Our hotel, from Wynn:

My parents surprised me on my b-day and sent a bottle of champagne, and triple dipped chocolate strawberries!!! I started crying; it was so sweet!

Me & Ryan...he looks sick (as he was) and this is the only photo of me in which I don't look absolutely horrid! :P

The flamingos at the Flamingo ;)

And, for karmalaa, here is the Rainbow (yes, the one from Hollywood), under construction across the street from the Hard Rock.

I'm back baby!

Thu, 19 May 2005 03:01:02 GMT

Yes guys & dolls, I am home from Vegas!!!

We had a great time, although Ryan was sick for the whole trip. :(

I will post photos and give a more detailed description of the trip tomorrow (I'm off work, woo hoo!). It'll probably take me a while to go through everyone's journals, so bear with me. :)

Also it was nice to come home to such awesome mail!!! Thanks to zvezda and deco_tangent for the great b-day packages, and special thanks to caboosylucy for the GORGEOUS bracelets she made me!!! *smooches to you all*

Now only 3 days til U2!!!! :D

Tue, 10 May 2005 13:27:54 GMT

I've been up since 5am. WTF???

Excited about my trip I guess. I'll be passed out asleep on my desk by 3 o'clock. :P

Diet Coke with Lime tastes like it needs a splash of Captain's.

Viva Las Vegas!

Tue, 10 May 2005 01:12:17 GMT

I will be here in 2 days!!!

Woo hoo! I will be online tomorrow during the day, but after that I won't be around til next week! :D Ta ta darlings! ;)

Sun, 08 May 2005 22:43:51 GMT

My parents and I are outside laughing at some idiot who managed to get his boat grounded on the sand bar in the river across from us. It's extremely windy and the water is choppy. I don't know what dope decided it would be a good day to go out for a boat ride. :/ So now the DE State Police chopper is circling and a Marine Police boat is out there. Yep, tax dollars hard at work. :S

Ryan is getting tickets to see Billy Idol* for me and his sister-in-law's sister (get that? :S) She's an awesome girl and we dig all the same music, and we both are into funky hair cuts and make up. The show is Friday May 27 at the Borgata in Atlantic City. Woo hoo! FLESH for Fantasy!!! cherry_divinity I know you said he rocked so I'm psyched to see him. sugarchay you should come down for it!!! :D

OK, back outside to watch the drama unfold... :X

Also...JRM as Elvis tonight!!!!! SEX!!! :9

Sun, 08 May 2005 01:19:48 GMT

OK, technically I am now again a REDHEAD!!!

I got my hair done today...she did lots of foils in a honey blonde and then went over them in a BRIGHT red. I love it...it looks HOT! I will try to take pics soon!

BTW ilovecupcakes I thought of you when I was in the salon...they were playing The Smiths*. ;D

My mom* just made the yummiest dinner...crabs, clams, shrimp and Old Bay fries! And I've been drinking lots of Reisling*! Yummmmm!

Fri, 06 May 2005 23:26:41 GMT
