Lets see… what happened today?
I should leave work right now, but I wanted to write something. Plus traffic is going to be all crappy and I’m not ready to deal with it yet. It also looks good that I’m still here. Makes it seem like I’m working hard or something. haha. Today I researched airplane tickets to NY and hotel rates which was very cool. The hotel we’re going to stay at is SUPER nice. I’m very excited about that. I need to use html more in my journal ’cause I keep using caps to show emphasis and it looks funky. I need to use italics like a normal person.
So I’m trying to move on off of my JM addiction. Its getting crazy. I stopped watching the Any Given Thursday DVD while I work out ’cause its starting to not be cute anymore.
I’m actually kinda getting sick of the guy. I’m making myself sick of him. Yes, I’m a dork.
But its cool.. ’cause I need to move on to a new crush…
Oh and before I officially end my John Mayer addiction, he did a cover of Dave Matthew’s Band’s song “lover lay down” and I know its out there but I can’t get it to play and it’s killing me!! I LOVE that song and the fact that he did a cover of it is insane, and the fact that I can’t listen to it is just way worse. Grr. So if you have it send it to me pls!! email: valli_krd@yahoo.com danke!
“All I want for Christmas this year: I want a Cabbage Patch Kid. And I want a Keliko Vision. And I want world peace, but just for the parts of the world that are good, just the good parts of the world. And the other parts of the world? I just want like some kind of bowel disorder, that’s it, just like an irritable bowel syndrome, but certainly not war. I want a holster, but not a gun. What else do I want? What else do I want? I want a wallet, because I don’t ever want to spend money on a wallet. A wallet is a gift, really, if you think about it. I’m just saying these are some of the things I want for Christmas. And I also want somebody to meet me and I can meet them. And I want to meet someone who will, see this is the best part about it, I wanna meet someone tonight and I want to talk to them on phone the whole time and I wanna be like, “I gotta go play a show, but I’ll call you right after I get off stage, right after I get off stage.” And then I wanna talk to her the whole time, “I’m on the road, that’s the bus noise.” And then for Christmas, because we’ve only known each other for three weeks, I want her to give me something that makes absolutely no sense and has nothing to do with me as a person. “You couldn’t possibly have known, in the period of time you’ve know each other, what to buy me, and I think this gum-ball machine really proves that.” - John Mayer
Let’s see… It’s Saturday and I have nothing to do. Isn’t that wonderful? It’s 3:06 and I haven’t eaten anything yet, yay! Haha. Yes it’s bad but it just feels like even if you were to eat right for three meals a day with two snacks, and then worked out it still wouldn’t be enough. I feel like I have to skip something. On the other hand it’s not like I was really supremely hungry when I woke up today. I’ve been wanting to really test my hunger out to see what it feels like to be REALLY hungry. It’s this super primal feeling. It’s just so basic.
So I began my half-assed guitar training this morning and lets just say that I have a HUGE new found respect for anyone that plays the guitar. It’s insane. First off I can’t tune my guitar for shit. It’s horrible. But I did learn the C cord and G, I think. I played the french song, fara something. It was ok. It’s just going to take a lot of time to work up to a real song.
I get to leave work right after my Josh Groban cd finishes saving to my computer, which should be in a couple minutes. I’m super excited. I get to go home and chill out with my new guitar and try to play it. That should be fun, embarrassing and entertaining all at the same time. I’m looking forward to it. Plus I taped John Mayer on Conan O Brien last night so I need to watch that. Yay! Hmm… I should probably go to the store and buy some low fat, low carb goodies for tonights non-new-years festivities at my house. Yea that’ll be good. ![]()
I’ve come down with “john mayer disease”. I can’t stop talking, thinking and writing about the poor guy. This should really stop. I’m afraid that only way to be cured is to meet the guy and have the bubble personally burst by Mr. JM himself. Some magazine in New York wrote a blurb about how he bought a loft in SoHo and they gave his exact address. Everybody on the message boards were talking about it saying that it was wrong of them to post his address, ’cause now all the crazies will know where he lives. So of course being a “crazie” myself, I know the address and it just so happens that mi familia and I are planning a trip to the big apple in May, so of course I was trying to find all the hotels that are close to where he lives. hehe. Which is crazy yes, but you never know. I mean he’ll probably be on tour then or something, but it would be cool to just be walking down the street and bump into him. *dreamy sigh* They played his appearance on Saturday Night Live again this past Saturday, so I tivo’d it.
So let’s see. As would be expected I’d rather not be here right now. No I’d rather be at home in bed watching tv or something. Yep. So this is my futile attempt at trying to make the time fly by. This entry wouldn’t be complete without a rant about my brain dead coworker. She’s so annoying. I don’t think I’ve gone a day (when she’s here) without saying “god, I hate this woman” and then saying “okay, okay, hate is too strong a word, but it’s really freaking close” and then saying “I gotta get out of here”
That’s it! I’m SOOO going on the Dale Jr cruise next year. I went to Junior’s website to check it out and see if he updated his message of the week and he did, talked about his xmas, what he got, blah, blah, blah and then I went to check out the photo gallery. They had a bunch of photos from the cruise from this year and dude, oh my god, it’s soo funny. They had these “beach games” thingys with everybody from the ship, everybody was in a bathing suit and I didn’t see one person that would make me roll my eyes and feel crappy about my body, all of the women were “real women” if you know what I mean, so now I’m SUPER stoked about going next year. I don’t know why exactly but I dunno. From looking at those pictures I’m just not afraid of anything now.
I just know where I’d be when they’re doing those “beach games”, standing on the sidelines, wearing jeans, a shirt and sunglasses, with a fruity drink in hand, laughing at all the dorks who decided to make fools of themselves in front of my future husband. haha.
Of course the minute that I thought that I had dodged getting sick at xmas time for the first time in years I come down with a cold three days later. The day before we left for la la land, my throat started to hurt and then the next day I was a full blown sickie. Completely not fun. So I was sick through xmas and am now feeling 90% like a normal functioning human being. Xmas was cool. The cookies got tons of toys as usual. My gifts were the slow acting type this year because they didn’t have anything to do with Power Rangers, so the kids didn’t appreciate them until two days after they opened them. I got a new Swatch watch from me sister, plus a $50 gift certificate to Best Buy and “lip butters”. My mom got me an acoustic guitar, which I still haven’t opened and played around with yet but I will soon I promise. I gotta get the Lisa Loeb sheet music for “tails”, there’s this song called “sandalwood” that I wanna learn, really, really, really, badly.
Ok, I’m outtie… Gotta go buy “the Darkness” yay!!
“When you meet that perfect someone, all you do is screw day and night. I don’t mean to sound like a horny toad, but that’s the truth. Let’s just hope I don’t meet that perfect someone for a while, because then all I wanna do is sit around with Tivo, some ice cream, and just screw. …and I won’t be playing music for you guys.” - John Mayer
See.. I’m becoming a John Mayer fan, I’m posting quotes. I love reading all of his quotes. Especially this one because this is what we’re going to be doing when we find each other damnit.
Yep, so that sounded completely psycho stalkerish, but not really, because even if the guy for me isn’t John Mayer, the guy that I do end up with will want to do those exact same things, So it’s cool. ![]()
