My Quilt?

No, no, children--I'm not talking about any form of bedding whatsoever. I kind of (and by kind of I mean totally) stole this idea from a fellow blogger, Chelsea, and completely ganked it. I figured it would make a good post and that I need to hustle with these posts, as I have been slacking. And for those of you who have complained that I haven't written in awhile, I recognize that I've been slacking and everyone tells me that admitting you have a problem is the first step.

So here goes:

GOOD SQUARES
-I have kick ass (I need to stop swearing so much) family and friends who get me through every single day and I am beyond thankful for that.
-I have a pretty standard group of readers who read my blog and read about my shenanigans and that’s pretty awesome as well.
-I’m in grad school and doing well
-I’m currently manifesting old relationships as new ones and in turn talking to about 4 different boys. Text messages are a dime a dozen and dinner/drink invitations are plentiful. This, I totally place in a good square.
-I got buy one, get one coupons in the mail from Yankee Candle. No, I’m not 45 years old, I just have an insane obsession with candles. Just bought Eggnog and Christmas Wreath and I could not be more excited for the holidays.
-Tucker Max is writing a new book called “Assholes Finish First” and the “I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell” movie comes out in 09. I’ll be counting down the days!

RANDOM SQUARES THAT HAVE NO TYPE OF MEANING IN THE PATTERN OF THE QUILT
-LOST. One word, means so much.
-My “The Office” theme song ringtone is amazing and I find myself either humming along to it or dancing everytime it goes off
-Bagel King. I’ve never tasted a bagel so good as this one and the blended iced coffee is to die for. It’s a Sunday morning tradition around these parts.

BAD SQUARES
-Kind of broke. Kind of wish I got paid to write this blog.
-The fan piece of my laptop, I want to smash it. It makes this terrible buzzing noise anytime the laptop is on and it sounds like it’s going to airlift and fly away. I need to look into getting this fixed.
-I work too much and don’t get paid enough…the story of everyone’s lives, right?
-Homework. So over it.
-I have successfully put almost 17,000 miles on my brand new Corolla and I’ve only had it since March. Do the math. Not good.

So that’s my quilt. There ya have it. I’m pretty sure I could have made this another indecently long post, but I neglected to do that because I actually have homework. Which sucks, by the way. I’ll be sure to write about last night’s bar adventures soon…probably after I finish the stupid homework.

Long Awaited Return?

Yes, yes...I'm back by popular demand...well, sort of. Granted, there are probably only like, 5 people who read this and 1 or 2 that read it religiously and even then I think it's a stretch.

Nonetheless, I am back and jonesin' more than ever. I just kind of wanted to use the word 'jonesin' because I've never really used it before. I am, however, jonesin' for a passion fruit vodka and cran right about now, and in my neck of the hood, on Tuesday's it's "Two Dollar Tuesday's" a.k.a. almost every drink you can imagine (especially at my favorite watering hole in CT) for a mere $2.00. TALK...ABOUT...A...DEAL! Sadly, I'm missing this weekly occasion this Tuesday and, quite frankly, I believe I've been missing it too much lately. I mean, how can you pass up a deal so great as the one that is placed in front of me each and every Tuesday night. Just a thought but now I'm going to move on because it's going to get me even more engulfed in the idea of how much my life has evolved in one year. Oh, and not to mention, one of my favorite co-workers is at my favorite watering hole right now as I just found out through a text message, which makes me even more upset because he's a riot.

Moving on, this post is going to be a lot of random thought. Sometimes I wish I could write in that fluid, creative style that is just random thoughts with no punctuation, no transitions, nothing. The name of this particular style of writing escapes me at the current moment, but I wish I could write like that. I have a bunch of stuff I wanted to cover in this post, but I'm not so sure it'll happen.

So I think it's actually been a couple of weeks since I've written, but as they say "absence makes the heart grow fonder", so I'm hoping that's what you're feeling right now. I promise I'll have a lot more to say in future. In the meantime, be sure to check out John Mayer's blog because it's amazingly profound and I need to meet him (www.johnmayer.com/blog), Angelina Jolie's photo spread in the November issue of W Magazine and The Office this Thursday night at 9pm, I believe.

Keep it classy*
