Did You See Me Barreling Though A Bowling Alley Wall? Did You?
I think a man stocking bread at the commissary (grocery store) made fun of me today. I had just walked into the bread isle, and this 40-ish black man who was stocking bread looks at me and says "ohh yeah!" like the kool-aid man did in the commercials back in the day. I believe he did this due to the fact that he thought I was wearing a red shirt. I was clearly wearing a dark pink shirt. And he shouldn't of been saying anything since he was almost as large as I am.
The commissary was evacuated today due to a "fire drill". I wasn't in the store at the time, but my mom was, and when I left the BX, I saw everyone standing out in the parking lot. I don't think it was a fire drill. I think there was a small fire in one of the deli/bakery kitchens. It was really odd going back in the store with everyone else, and the person on the P.A. telling people to make sure they have the right cart, and everyone just basically got in the same position they were in before the fire drill started. One woman went right back to writing her check at the checkout lane, baggers continued bagging stuff. It was like for 10 minutes the store hit the pause button.

Hot Laptop
I walked in the "library room" where my dad keeps his computer and his work laptop, and I saw this:
I'm assuming dad was using it for some sort of wrist padding. When I go out tomorrow either I'm gong to buy:
A)Some more potholders
or
B)one of those wrist rests for dad.
I thanked Ed today for putting a link to my site, and this is what he said:
Hey Thanks "Connie" -
I did the website myself. Your site is definitely worthy of a link.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers-
Ed

I Sound Like Kramer Driving The Bus
We got stuck in "traffic" on the way home (with Bitsy in the car). My dad (whos' a volunteer firefighter) was at this fire call where this car was trying to turn into one of those junky antique stores, and this tractor trailer hit the car, caught on fire, and hit a house (I think it was this house in zuni that noone's lived in in years, I could be wrong though, we couldn't pass by the accident scene). You know, honestly, stuff like that happens like every four months. The road that we have to go to get to Wakefield is a long, boring road, and tractor trailers go though there all the time. I think my dad has to go on a call at least once every month in which a driver fell asleep at the wheel. It happens so many times out here, you just get used to it, its like going to buy milk or something.
I am getting so tired of going to these stores all the time:
I can't wait until I get a job. Or get the hell out of the 'kountry, one of the two. But I need to find a way. I was scheming about finding ways to get out of here in about a year on the way back (yes, you heard me back, we forgot to buy something at Wal-Mart) to Wal Mart. I thought about going back to school, but then I thought "I
Like A Head Bashed In With A Mallet
Hi,
I'm Sick.
I woke up at 1:20 a.m. from a bad dream, and I've been up since. Right now I have one of the worst headaches I've ever had, my neck hurts, and the area around my right eye hurts. I can't fall back asleep either. But this couldn't be the better morning for it though since I had to get up early anyway to take Bitsy to the groomer.
I think I'm going to go look at the links on Ed's site now, try to get my mind off of the pain.

"I"m Jellin' Like A Felon!"*
| "We got half of it taped at Loyola's video studio one night and then there was a power blackout," says DeGeneres. "The next day, they tore up the studio for the summer. I went into a depression for two weeks and laid in bed. When I came out of my depression, I joined the Marine Corps. The Marines were not like they told me it was going to be." -Vance DeGeneres, 1981 |
(something I wrote @ 9:10 this morning)
I think a really cool idea for a little independent film (or a play) would be the time Vance DeGeneres stayed in bed for two weeks after he was trying to make a comedy show (for cable access in New Orleans), and in the middle of a taping there was a blackout, and he lost everything, and the studio was demolished the next day The little film/play could be a 20 something year old Vance in bed going over things like what went wrong in his life, or maybe him talking to himself, saying things like "maybe I can go back to school.....", and maybe some scenes where friends would come over, and try to get Vance out of his funk. And maybe there would be a scene where his friends "hire" an escort, and the escort comes over (but who would open the door for Vance since he's in bed all the time? Maybe he as a roommate who opens doors for Vance, and he tries to cheer up Vance too) but all Vance does is act motionless around her, and she leaves in a huff.
* = ok, the title of this entry has nothing to do with Vance, but when I woke up this morning, and wrote that, I had that quote from that Dr. Scholl's ad in my head.
**Quote from article found here.
High School Fights
I remember this one time when I was a freshman in high school I was heading to my english classroom, and all of a sudden I saw this big crowd of people cheering something on, whooping and hollering about some crap. As I (and 100 other people) crept up the hallway some more, I realized that a fight had just been broken up in front of the library. (yes, a strange place to fight indeed) When I passed by the library doors, I saw hair weave everywhere. There must of been at least 20 pieces of braded weave on the floor.
On a completly different topic, Ed Helms has a new site up. It looks really really cool!
It spanks the ass of the site I made about him.
The cartoons on there are geuniely funny, too. None of this For-Better-Or-Worse-Oh-My-God-The-Dog-Died kind of stuff either.
And the pictures of Ed on there? (girlish giggle)

Super Fresh # 7 or 8
(Old paper journal entries)
May 20, 1996 (seventh grade)
Today they had this Honor Roll celebration, and guess who stood by me the whole time? Our good friend Mr. Ryan. But I decided when they stalk talking about tryouts for chorus, I'm going to sign up. It looks fun. Also on the bus today Josh said some things about Mr. Ryan, like "If Mr. Ryan and the rule about what to wear, he'd make us dye our hair black, wear ties, and wear corduroys. That was funny.
May 29, 1997 (eighth grade)
Brad Smith left today ( sad face ) . He gave me his address. He will be moving to his new house on my birthday. I might mail him a post card when I get to Alaska next month.
May 22, 1998 (ninth grade)
Yesterday at the Learning Foundation, R.W. let me see the new Syms yearbook, and Mr. Ryan, Mrs. Barkley, and Mrs.Brackbill was in it, and I photocopied it. Mr. Ryan looks so sad now.
I was walking down the hall alone, during lunch, and I passed by Senior Walton, and I gave him a long look, and he blushed and turned his head. He really hates me.
May 29, 1999 (tenth grade)
Twenty days of school left. Twenty days, and I'll never see James (Jim) [Senor] Walton ever again. Will this be good or bad? Well, obviously this will be good in the long-run, but I mean I'll really never see him ever again. It's like I'll run into him somewhere, like with Mr. Ryan. He likes living here. Senor didn't. He must get tired of things real easily. Like tired of living in Virginia. How did he end up here, anyway? ... I don't think he's happy anymore. You know, since he found out that I liked him.
May 28, 2000 (eleventh grade)
12:01 afternoon
Oh god help us all...its just gonna be me and Sarah [Justin's ex girlfriend] tonight (at the non-school approved 'field trip' to Chi-Chi's). But even worse, what if its Sarah Justin and me. Samantha's not going.
4:39 p.m.
Going out to eat with Sarah tonight. I asked Justin if he was going to the dinner, and he was like "Uh...No" He's not going 'cause I'm not going. I bet you that's why.
Everyone cried at rehearsal today. I wanted to cry, but I didn't want the seniors looking at me weird.
7:18 p.m.
The dinner got cancelled, and Mrs. Mayfield wrote Sarah up for doing the "field trip" without her permission.
May 26, 2001 (senior year)
12:27 afternoon
I was watching the Weather Channel downstairs (its been storming a lot lately), and they showed California on the map, and it wasn't raining, and it was 75 degrees in LA. I almost blurted out "I miss Vance". I got info yesterday on the new show Vance is producing. It's a FREAKIN' DATING SHOW! ... you know the kind with slutty girls and frat guys.
ARRRRGGGH!!
I passed out in my bed around 5:30 yesterday, and the next thing I knew it was ten o clock, and my mom was giving me a hug, and holding my hand.
May 29, 2002 (vocational school)
Something funny the cashier at Rite Aid put in my bag. This is so 1960-something. When the woman was putting this in my bad, she said something about Father's Day. I wonder what someone would say to her if they didn't have a dad?
11:15 p.m.
My computer died on me an hour ago. I don't know what happened. It sounds like the motor burned up in it. I don't know what to do, I unplugged the phone, so I can't call Hewlett Packard about it, or Melissa. I went downstairs and left a note for dad (and I tripped over Bitsy)
May 26, 2003 (unemployed)
12:13 a.m.
I wish a network would pick up the old Pee-Wee's Playhouses. I know one of the family channels (I think it was Fox Family Channel before it turned into ABC Family Channel) showed it a few years back, but I always missed it.
Every time I'd show people pictures of my room at school, they'd always go "You have a chairy!! Can you bring it to school tomorrow?!?!" (I never did)
At this "antique store" in Windsor they have this still in the box Pee Wee Ventriqulist dummy. They also have included with it a clamshell case version of "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" (which is very, very rare in its own right). The store is asking like $90.00 for it, but I know if they put it on Ebay, they'd probably be getting almost $200.00 for it.
12:23 a.m.
Ed always uses words like "unfortunately" in his e-mails. And what did he mean by "your support and encouragement is hugely appreciated?" Encouragement? I'm going to ask Melissa what that means later on today. Was he encouraging me to keep on working on the site?
"Wow! You Have A Lot Of Coins!"
I've been keeping a whole bunch of change since late 2001, and I evenutally put it in one of those big evian bottles:
Well, today I drove down the Food Lion where they have one of those CoinStar Machines. Guess how much I had in my big evian bottle:
I was shocked! I thought I only had around $8.00 in there. You know, I could buy Tripod Plus with that, but I would still need to find a way to pay the $9.95 a month before I get a job.

It's Sharing Time!
Remember elem. school when you saw someone in your class with a really cool pencil case, and you bought the same one two days later? Or if you saw a girl in class with lip balm, you brought your lipbalm to school?
Last year, I was begging for this girl's attention who had a weblog (and got me into the whole weblog thing) , I'd comment in her journal all the time, [I admit, they were stupid comments] I'd post the same quizzes she did, if she did a survey, I'd paste the same survey onto my blog, when she made a message board, I was like the first one to join. But then it hit me last summer : I am nothing like her. She's one of these prissy little girly-girls. I was myself on her message board, and nobody liked me because I wasn't their prissy little closed minded type. I finallly left the board, and I've only taken a glance at her blog around Christmas. But she didn't have to be a snotty bitch though. When she DID comment on my blog, it was something negative. (like this one time I was talking about how I signed up for free Kotex coupons or something, and she commented back with a "ew. who uses kotex?" )
Oh, and blogger's back on track again, so I fixed my layout finally. (everone :duh)
*edit* (off topic)
One of my suggestionswas on who would buy that.com!
Thank You, Professor Chaos
This is why we've been having problems. Something broke when Blogger was fixing stuff.
Scrounging Up Chance Change Since May, 2003
Welp, I have offically ran out of space at the site . I have $26.00 to my name right now, and Tripod plus (with the setup fee) is $23.95. But I really didn't want to blow the rest of my money (that I 'earned' during one day of temping earlier this month - I was let go due to the fact that A) They hired too many people and B)I couldn't do the work [it was accounting stuff, and I am not an accountant]) I hate asking mom and dad for tripod plus for an early Birthday present, because I don't want them looking at the site.
Back to my change scrounging around the house.
Day Three : Cows
Blogger's still haveing problems with their templates....so I guess I'm going to be stuck with this crappy design for two years.
Onto other things, that TDS special last night was "eh". It was good if you were deployed out to sea for six months, and you just came home, it was a good "catch me up", but for someone who had seen the segments more than once, you didn't really pay attention to it. I was reading this while it was on. I think that's the most I've seen Jon standing up in two years. Sometimes you forget how short he really is.
Mom wanted me to call this place that she saw in the paper, but even by me looking at it, I knew it was telemarketing, or a scam with a lot of paperwork. I mean look at this part of the ad:
(in caps)
In addition we offer a complete benefit package including:
Yeah right. I called the place this morning, and when the receptionist answered the phone, she said it was a marketing place. (hint hint). I left my number, but I'm not crossing my fingers for them to call back. I bet that beach house looks like a trailer from the 70's with a piss yellow stove, and a fridge that you have to defrost yourself. And maybe a new microwave.

Note To Little 14 Year Old In The Garfield Fans LJ Community:
I'm sure I wasn't the only one in reading this article to say "Dude, Reading Rainbow Is Still On?":
10:18 p.m. : Just Read V. Dissappointing Book...
Why why are they making a movie based on the Bridget Jones' sequel "The Edge Of Reason"? That book was awful! I was just thinking like yesterday " The Edge Of Reason was an 'eh' book, so I know they're not going to make a movie out of it"
"You Grew Up Before Ritalin, What Was That Like?"*
I'm this close to ringing blogger's stupid neck. The one time I really really need to fix my template, the template editor STILL isin't working.
(edit)
Ok, the template editor is now working again, but I looked at my HTML for a second, and realized that the HTML was from my "depressed yet?" march layout!
You know, I'm really getting tired of blogger's bullshit. But every other blog option out there is either:

It's Time To Rise And Shine!
The episode of Good Eats with the "Rise and Shine" morning show parody is painful to watch. Even "W" can't save it.
Aside from that one (and the one where Alton cooks on a boat-that boat kitchen was disgusting!) I love Good Eats. I never thought I'd be recording every episode of a cooking show. It's like a little comedy show, and a little bit of cooking too. I hope the show never leaves Food Network, but I know it will one day because Food Network only kisses Emeril's, Bobby Flay's, and Tyler Florence's butts. I know I've written about Emeril before during the "huzzay.org days", but I have to bring him up again. I don't like the Emeril Live show. I used to at the peak of its popularity in 2000, but it gets old hat after the sixth or seventh time you watch it. And why all the audience shots?
Remember Me?
Look at what I found at Wal-Mart today For $2.50:
I loved this cereal when I was five years old! I only had it once, I think. It was a very short-lived cereal, but look, its back! It doesn't look the same though, but the principal of ice cream cone cereal is back!
I also picked up some nair at Wal-Mart too. The Cucumber Melon kind only smells a little like rotten eggs now.
I could be wrong, but I think this comic-book guy look-a-like who works at Wal-Mart was being nice to me today. I could of taken it the wrong way though. I have nothing wrong with the comic book guy look-a-like people. Maybe I should go to Wal_Mart more often.

I Hope It Never Gets To "Elmo"
Terror Threat Level:
I never put silly stuff like this on my side bar, but I think this is going on my sidebar....
So I just watched the re-ran version on VH1 (I'm not watching VH1 for six months, I've watched wayy too much this past week.) of the movie NBC ran last week about Three's Company. I'm such a sap, I teared up a little at the end. That's just me. When I see people on TV cry, I start to cry.
Mom and I went out to the Hampton Target today. I saw a whole bunch of cabs around, and it was only 12 in the afternoon. I guess people are getting drunker and drunker earlier on Memorial Day Weekend.
I think I may have a talk with mom soon about me going out more. I need to go out and meet people I think. Go out to Williamsburg more often. Get a haircut.
Rock N' Roll Martian...Rock N' Roll Martian...
My commentary on a certian part of the MST3K episode (aired today) entitled Merlin's Shop Of Mystical Wonders (or something like that):
Ok, the movie was made in 1995. Everything else in the movie looked like 1995. Now I know the story with the monkey toy was supposed to take place in the 80's, but the parts where Merlin was looking for the monkey looked like 1995 ... what the ...?
That's The Ticket That's The Ticket, Well, Isin't That Special, Well Isin't that Special...
So, my old blog is back. I don't know if I'm going to be moving back or not. I have to think about it, I mean I have to tell all those people again that my blog moved back, but I only have five or six regular readers, I think. I may just put that re-direct code up on this page, and re-direct everyone back to the old blog. I just checked, and everyone has put up the new URL. I don't want them to change it again. But the banner does screw up the layout a little.

Looked Like She Just Walked Out Of A Food Lion Circa 1993!
I had turned my TV on to Sci-Fi so I could timer record MST3K tomorrow, and I saw Jennifer Aniston in a "Leprechaun" movie from 1993. That was just sad watching her having to help a guy shoot a leprechaun. Sad stuff.
Although I didn't watch one second of American Idol, I did download some Clay. There's going to be some butt kicked if he doesn't have a record coming out soon. I hope he's not going to be on some "Where Are They Now?" thing in a few years.
I Hate This Place
When I first moved here, I liked it here. I thought I didn't have to deal with "Hampton Stuff" anymore. ( if you had asked me a couple of years ago, what exact was "Hampton Stuff" I could of named you off every incident of "stuff", but I can't now). But now, after 2 1/2 years, I want to get out of the country. I'm sick of it here. I'm sick of these rednecks in their stupid trucks riding my ass all the time, and going around my car when its not a passing lane. I'm sick of the whole truck mentality. I'm tired of big honkin' trucks, and the monsters that drive them. They think they're so important, and they think they have the right to "wig out" over the most trival shit.
And its not just here in town. It's just this whole area. The paper sucks here (Daily Press) for a lack of words. The Feedback section is a bunch of boo-hooers who get offended by seeing a lady in a bikini advertising electric hair removal. In other towns people don't blink an eye. I want to move to a "don't blink an eye" place where there's culture. Like Williamsburg, maybe. I mean that place is in the area, but its half a world away from everything else here.
Did I Say "Bartending" enough?
If I ever trained to be a bartender (which my parents would never let me do in a million years, sadly) , and after I got my "degree" in bartending, I'd try to get a job bartending at some "family" restruant like Applebee's. That's gotta be so easy, especially in the "country bumpkin" one that my family and I go to. Noone wants "fancy" drinks like Skyy Blue Martinis, they just want beer. That would be so easy, just opening beer bottles all day.
Stupid VH1
So, VH1's schedule runneth over, and the "bad hair" thing (with Ed) didn't air. (or its coming on at like 3 or 4 a.m.) Try again @ 2:00 p.m and 8:00 pm. tomorrow.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I'm Envious Of People Who Have Kept Blogs For Over A Year...
I swear, this has to be the seventh time in the past year that I have had to move my blog. Let's count, shall we?
October. 2001 - April 2002 : on blogspot.
April, 2002 - June 2002 : used greymatter on netfirms. Got shut down.
June 2002 - July 2002 : blogspot.
July 2002 - November, 2002 : huzzay.org (until my friend ran out of funds)
November, 2002-January 2003 : blogspot (had to leave)
January, 2003 - May 2003 : that domain name. (shut down mysteriously)
Ok, six times.

"According To Legend" Is Never True
My mom wants me to go to community college if I don't get a job soon. I'm just not ready to go back to school. I don't want to go back to school. I hated school. I'd rather just do the temping thing for a year, and then see where that goes. But, the temp places ignore me. But I really don't want to go back to school. I did horrible in school. I can't write a paper worth shit, I never got into the "studying" thing. I hated being around people my age. It was just bad. I'm just not a school person.
This whole year has been a waste.
Video Game Consoles Need More Wood Paneling
Oh, right, I'm looking for a job....
I think looking for a job is one of the most hardest things I've ever had to do, honestly. (how sad is that?) I've been thinking about signing up with more temp places. But I don't know if that's allowed. I think Don Richard's has thrown my file out the window due to DECA letting me go on the second day.
On a different note, someone I went to high school with, Chris made a Pong Game. which remidnes me, I was thinking yesterday, I think Atari would make a killing if they brought back the 2600, with the old games and everything. I think it would sell pretty well with people trying to re-kindle their childhood days. I'd buy one, since my 2600 barley works 1/2 of the time.
"See! That's In Style Now!"
I guess its all coming back to me or something. I remember when I was a little kid, I used to talk while my mom was watching TV, and she finally got after me about it. (I think even my sister got after me about it once over at her house, I'm not sure). But now, ten years later, my mom is the one talking while we're trying to watch TV. I was watching an old "The Nanny" repeat on Lifetime this morning, and my mom came in, and started to go on and on and on about how the clothes Fran wore back then are in style now, and back then she was someone who didn't know style, or something. Real banal stuff. (I hope I used the word "banal" right) I finally just waited until she was done and I told her that I was going upstairs. She does with with everything I watch. Like shows on Food Network. A few times I've tried to watch "Good Eats" downstairs with her, and she just doesn't get it. She asks questions though the whole thing, etc, etc.
I still love her, and everything, and I guess this is what I get for talking during "Home Improvement" when I was 9 years old.

He Could Of Used A Comb
One of my friends brought up the VH1 "Awesomely Bad Hair" special a few days ago, and I was flipping though the channels tonkght, and I caught about 30 minutes of it, and guess who was in it:
It comes on again at 2:00 a.m. on May 23rd. (that's early early early Friday morning)
And No, I'm Not Going To Do A "Pity The Fool" Joke...
Today's Mr. T's birthday!
"Which Was Kind Of An Odd Pick Up Line"
I think my new layout may reak havoc on browsers that are used by "techy" people (Mozilla, Opera, etc...). I tweeked with a blogskins layout. I really don't like the blogskin site, because a lot of the layouts are just too teeny bop for my taste, and when a nice plain layout does come up, some 14 year old girl says its "ugly" just because its not pink, and it doesn' t have animie stuff on it.

I've Turned Into A Lump Of Coal...
This is the list of MST3K's that I've watched since (maybe) Thursday:
(not in order)
And little bits of:
If Ed Helms Mated With The Guy From The Mentos Commercial From 1994...
If Ed Helms were to become a male model, I think it would go a little something like this:
(wait for it..)
Or if Ed Helms' face mated with Mo Rocca's old glasses, and Vance DeGeneres' hair!
Comedy Central Kisses Butt...
I hate how Comedy Central now "ties in" Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn with Daily Show. I HATE HATE HATE that. I like TDS as a stand-alone show. And Comedy Central kisses the butt of all their new shows, by giving them products, dvd's, beach towels, etc, and all Daily Show gets is a pen.
I am kind of surprised that Daily Show hasn't tried to find a new home outside of Comedy Central. But where could they go? I can't think of another cable network that would buy TDS. Maybe Sci-Fi can do what they did with MST3K and buy TDS! Hee! That would be funny!
"Coming up on Sci-Fi : Star Trek, and after that: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"
Monday, May 19, 2003
And, No
they [Comedy Central] didn't show the "I'm a Correspondent" special tonight. I had the feeling that they wern't. I mean I didn't hear/see a peep about it expect on the TV schedule, and that gets changed all the time. I guess they thought it was a stupid idea to begin with, or they didn't finish filming it.
Maybe they'll show it next Monday for memorial day. I am a little dsappointed though.
Mitchell, We're Home. Put Your Shoes On
I've had a throbbing headache all day. I don't know if I'm going to watch the correspondent special tonight after all. I hope I can stay awake for it.

The Orange Couch
I actually saw an episode of "Rocko's Modern Life" the other day on Nickelodeon. I was shocked. Rocky was from Nickelodeon's "bad ass" days. I mean in one episode, there's a ride called "elevator from hell". I mean Nickelodeon can't do stuff like that anymore. "Clarissa Explains It All" was another one.Does anyone remember the episode where Clarissa was at a mall, and the mall was about to close, and she was trying on clothes in a dressing room, and she was in a hurry, and she accidentally left off this piece of lingerie, and she was trying to find a way to bring it back to the store. I'm not even going to get into Ren And Stimpy. Everyone knows how "bad ass" that show was. But near the end of its run, it started to get a little lame. I think it was because the original creator left (he had a tiff with Nickelodeon), and these writers started to write for the show. And it felt like in a couple of episodes, Ren and Stimpy wasn't even there! I remember this old man (forgot his name) would be in every episode. And he'd ramble about silly stuff. Like one time he said "Son Of A Bus Driver!"
Ok, I thought that was funny.
Call Barbie On Her Pink Phone
I was just looking through the paper in the want ads section, and there was an ad for Appointment Setters, and at the end of the ad it says "Call Barbie". I had to giggle at that. I know "Barbie" is "short" for Barbara, but why would you want to go by Barbie? If I was Barbara, I'd call myself "Babs". Babs sounds so 1951-ish.
Before I fell asleep last night, I felt this blster on my foot that I had gotten earlier in the day, and all of a suden I started to think about the "Sifl and Olly's" "word with Blister" segment: (this was when the copycats X&O hosted the show, and not Sifl and Olly):
(I had to make a transcript of this, since I can no longer find one anymore)
X : Let's Talk To Blist-ah! You wanna talk to Blist-ah?! Do you wanna? Do you wanna? Answer me! Answer me! Blister, come on!
O: Let's talk to Blist-ah! Let's talk to Blist-ah!
X: Hey Blister! Where's your dog? Huh?! Where's the dogg? G-G-Where's the dogg?
Blister: The dog? I ate him..heh...heh...I don't care.
O: That's Great!
X&O : You're one sick mother! You're one sick mother! You're one one one sick sick sick mother mother mother!!

I laughed so hard the first time I heard a clip of that back in 2000.
Why I Don't Apply For Jobs Online:*
* = I don't like signing up for companies such as monster.com, careerbuilder.com, or hotjobs.com for these same reasons. I'm just "old skool" when it comes to looking for a job. I'd rather look in the paper, and go to open houses.

Yes, My Friend...So The Real Question Is...Are You Daring?*
Has anyone noticed that Doritos flavors change a lot though the years? Like theres a lot of short-lived flavors. I remember when I was in 8th grade, there was a pizza hut flavor, and it was so good. Today at the store, I bought a bag of spricer natco because they were on sale, and I bet they were on sale because they're going to discontinue them soon. Why can't they stop making the "Cooler Ranch" flavor. I hate the smell of those. They remind me of this boy named Hurl that would sit behind me on the bus in middle school (or was it early high school?) and eat those on the way to school. It's not one of my favorite smells.
I swear, chips have the shortest shelf life. Like remember those fancy deli chips Lays came out with a few years ago? They had a chili flavor that was good.
Oh, and don't forget the chips that the Colin Quinn and Andy Dick look-a-like advertised in the early 90's.
* Paraphrased from the back of a Dorito's bag.
Some Hot Ed On Microphone Action!
Here are some pictures of Ed when he emcee'd the 2003 Beacon Awards in DC last month:
Pictures
I'll probably never put these on the Ed site, unless they take the pictures down soon.

Baby Deer With Small Eyes
I saw a baby deer today! I don't know why I'm so excited about this, but my dad and I were going down this unpaved road (dad likes taking all these backways whenever I'm with him), and I saw this baby deer come out of the woods, and he saw our car, freaked out, and ran away.
We scarred him for life....
And Yet Another Reason Why I Hate Going Out
I went to an auto parts store with my dad today, and this scraggily man in a pony tail with a beat up truck was trying to take back some windshield wipers. Just by looking at the man I could tell that he probaby either listened to A) The Country Station or B) the over-patoric 1069 T_h_e F_o_x station. Anyway, he got in the wrong line, and the man told him that he had to go to this line, and he muttered "yet another pain in the ass", I was about to say something, and my dad said "watch your mouth". I hate HATE people like that. They get angry over the stupidest shit. And then I saw him cussing at this girl who was working there. I wanted to go up to him and say:
"Why do you think you can act rude to her? She's just doing her job. You could be a little nicer."
What makes these people think they're so special? "Oh, I can't read past a 4th grade level, and I bought the wrong windshild wipers, and so I'm going to cuss out this girl. "
Someone I went to church and school with, Yuri Zubarev works at that auto parts store. I feel sorry for him. He hes to deal with people like that every day.
Clay Cony
I'm watching the Clay-Animated version of Conan now. It's so cute! But wasn't that bit where Conan sang irish to the two old irish people in the audience, wasn't that from the Ellen DeGenerse ep in January? Because I just watched that yesterday on tape, and Ellen was on a few min. later.
That would of rocked if Mr. Bill made a guest apperance. And hs dog spot.
I mean, where did they find those tiny trumpets? It probably took them two months just to find those.

"Oh, Wait. I'm A Robot. I Can't Say Kotex"
I've totally forgot the fact aht I've never seen a cigarette ad on TV. You just never think about it.
I'm Getting Girly
I've been watching a lot of those Lifetime movies this week. I guess in a few days I'll be turning into someone who sits in front of a couch at night with her gal pals drinking cosmos, chocolate haggan daaz (sp?) and bitching about our periods.
To Which I Replied To By Making A Trumpet Out Of My Mouth, And Saying "boo""TONIGHT: Michael Kinsley! Plus "Ad Nauseam" with Rob Corddry. "
I mean I love Rob too, but he's stomping all over Ed and Steve territory.
I don't think that's going to happen tonight. But it does feel goood to see Ed on TDS more than once a week.

"What A Horrible Place That Is!"
If comedian Jeremy Hotz got on stage, and read a phone book, I'd still laugh my rear off.
On the subject of other funny people, does anyone know the name of the guy who was in that Conan sketch last night (for us comedy central people, tonight) invovling LaBamba's hat? He was the guy with the black plastic glasses and the shaggy haircut.
And They Gave Us Mints Before It ... No, Wait, That Was The Sex Talk They Gave Us.
I remember when I was a senior in high school, in gov't class, they made each class go to the kiva (where the ROTC classes were held) and they showed us slides of people who were killed in drunk driving accidents. That's all we talked about for the next week. It was like :
"Did you see that guy who burned to death! He looked like a burnt marshmallow!!"
I don't think we were being mean, I just think we were shocked, really.
Hgh High School Ed
I had a dream around 7:30 this morning that I was going on a field trip with these high school kids (I was high school age too), and I think we were looking for the most unguarded place in America, and we found it in Mississippi, Ohio. (I'm pretty sure there's not a place named that in "real life"), and it was this K-Mart that was still being built. The building was brick, and the parking lot wasn't there yet, so the store was on this grassy hill, and all of us climbed the hill to the store, and all of a sudden, it was some sort of Daily Show expose, and I saw Rob Corddry, and maybe Matt Walsh. All of us, including the TDS people found an opening to get into the store, (like a little door that was open), and we all snuck in, and the place didn't look like a K-Mart still being built, it looked like an old, dusty basement from an historical old home, and the basement hadn't been touched since 1978. I remember we all walked around a little (there was nothing there, the doors were rusty and dirty), and everyone was trying to find a hidden passageway, and I was just trying to find a way to get out of there. I was walking around, and I saw Ed Helms walking around with this kid who was in my 12th grade Consumer Math class, Brian Phelps, and I remember Ed was a high schooler like the rest of us. He was wearing an orange shirt and a pair of jeans, and Ed and Brian were about to sneak into this tiny rusted doorway, and I told them not to do it, and they did anyway, and they climbed in, and closed the door. I finally found a way out, and I started to see all these other kids coming out, and this female security guard. I told her that Ed and Brian were missing, and I don't even remember giving a description of them, and I turned a corner, and there was Brian and Ed walking up a ramp. I think I squealed in delight, and I know I ran up to them, and tried to give both of them a hug at the same time, but I couldn't. So I gave Brian a hug first, and then I gave Ed a hug, and he felt real skinny, like there wasn't much there, like I was hugging a woman. I hugged Brian again, and I said, "you feel different, but you (referring to Ed) feel the same"

Something To A Live Journal Friend
"You don't like e_v_a_n_e_s_c_e_n_c_e* either? I keep on hearing that "wake me up" (or whatever its called) song on the radio, and that guy yelling "WAKE ME UP!! CAN'T WAKE ME UP!" just ruins the whole song for me.
and naming your album 'fallen' is just so original. Really, it is. [/saracasm]"
*name "masked" so fans don't find this on google.
What's This?
In the fashion of the old segment on the old Mr. Wizard shows shown on Nickelodeon in the earlu 90's back when Nickleodon was cool, I show you this, and say "what's this?" :
A few months ago, one of my sister's in-laws brought over a bunch of stuff that they no longer wanted, and put it in our basement, one of which was an old fisher price kitchen playset from the late 80's/early 90's. Flash forward to last week. My 1 year old nephew was playing with the kitchen playset for the first time, and I was opening up all the little doors on it to show him what was in there, and I found that little spice can of Marjoram. I looked at it, and said "Marjoram? What's that?" I then remembered that my mom used to have a sloo of these French's spices in the little tins when I was a little kid. No offense to mom, but I'm sure a lot of them were past their prime expiration date. Including the tin of Marjoram. (expiration date that was stamped on the bottom of the tin : 12 Feb 82)
This is what was on the back of the spice tin:
"Ya Could'a Waited!!"
This black lady at Wal Mart chewed me out today just because I accidently bumped her purse with my cart. I don't want to sound like a racist, but I'm sure if I was black, she wouldn't of chewed me out. I grabbed my mom and got the hell out of there.
Why the hell do people have to be so rude? I mean it was a harmless accident. I mean it's Wal-Mart for crissakes, you're bound the be bumped into. I'm sure five other people bumped into her while she was there, and she probably chrewed all of them out.
Now I'm going to be scared to use a cart in a store, for fear of middle-aged "I'm pissed off at the world" black ladies are going to chew me out.
Monday, May 12, 2003
and yes, I did edit that post about the knives in which I said "tasted" instead of "tried". My bad.
And Again, WTF?!
I've been watching this Lifetime movie about a girl with an eating disorder, and the whole time Lifetime has been showing commercials for Weight Loss Stuff!!
WTF?!
Knives Out Get The Mouse
I wonder if it would be "neater" to be an old man than an old woman. I mean the old man gets to go out walking with his dog at 7:38 in the morning, getting cofee and bringing it to his war/chess buddies who are already hanging out at the park waiting for him and his god.
Ok, maybe I'm just basing this all on commercials.
I think it would be neat to have a job where you sat and sharpened knifes all day, and after you were done sharpening the knives, you tasted tested them to see if they were sharp enough.

Fake Letter To Mum:
Dear Mom:
As much as I love you, please don't talk about the Survivor finale that aired tonight, tomorrow morning. I don't care. I will start to act uninterested, and you will get mad, so don't even bother talking about it with me. I could care less who won, the show was only great that first season back in 2000, and that's where the show should of stayed, back in 2000. So just wait until Lisa (my sister) comes over, and you and her can have an enlightening conversation about the show.
Thanks,
"Connie Vandelay"
Guy In Movie
I added a new Ed helms look-a-like last night, but I don't know the guy's name. (its the very last one on the page. Can anyone help me?

My First Record Player
My first (and only) record player was a tan and brown fisher price one I got when I was five in 1988. I played old Disney and Sesamie Street records on it, and that promotional McDonalds square record that was in the paper with the big mac song on it.
I Don't Think Anyone's Going To Be Crying When They Put This Soda To Sleep....
My review on the new o_r_a_n_g_e Mountian Dew was published on this site (its in the misses section). They offered me a t-shirt or a tote bag, but I know the T-shirt wouldn't of fitted me, and I don't need another bag, so I polietly declined.
Hello Kitty Makes Cookies And Pie
I made a frame by frame capture of this card, and I printed it up, and i made it into a little book, and I'm giving mom that on mother's day.
Breaking News And The Burger King Kids Club
I hate admitting this, but at least once a month, for even a nano second, I think about the Burger King Kids Club. I totally forgot about Lingo though. I think I had the Kid Vid action figure from Burger King when I was six or seven.
I went to bed before mom last night, and everytime I would try to fall asleep, I'd think about breaking news reports. I told someone almost two years ago that when a station goes into "breaking news" moade, and the TV goes black for a second before the breaking news logo, and the scary, dramatic music comes on, it scares me. For about 20 minutes last night, all I could hear was that dramatic music, and Peter Jennings' voice, and some female anchor's voice.

"We Reported It First!!" "We Reported It First!!" "We Reported It First!!" "We Reported It First!!"
There was a "severe strom" somewhehere in the area, so you know News Channel 3'serection could be seen all the way to I dunno, Maryland.
Super Fresh #6-ish
Another installment of old journal entries (most misspellings have stayed the same)
May 10, 1996 (seventh grade)
Josh and Nicole went to the teachers vs. the police volleyball game today, and they told me that Mr. Ryan played, and he was wearing shorts, and Josh said that Mr. Ryan had so much hair on his legs, he looked like a baboon, and he sucked playing. Sigh. But when I left school today, I saw Mr. RYan sitting in his classroom with a t-shirt on!
I think for some reason, Mr. Ryan likes me more now than he liked me in the beginning of the year. I remember he used to hate me though January though March, I guess. I don't know why. He started to talk to me more. That makes me really happy. I mean I smile all the way though reading and social studies class now. I remember a long time ago, I used to frown during class.
May 10, 1997 (eighth grade)
I got a new diary today. This one is falling apart. This journal has ojnly lasted for I guess six months. The first day was December 12, 1996. I remember I was pissed off at Mr. RYan. This journal was supposed to be "pissed off at Mr. Ryan", instead it turned out to be "yes, I still love and adore the ground Mr. Ryan walks on" But god, he still looks handsome.He has these gourgous brown eyes, and these shiny white teeth. And that dark short hair, and those strong looking arms. His wife is so lucky to have such a man. I hope one day I'll find a man like Mr. Ryan.
May 12, 1998 (ninth grade)
He's back. I wonder if he would ever tlak to me about liking him, and if he asked "why d
1) You looked like my dead fiencee'
2) Ok, I admit it. I'm a physo.
3) I have a thing for guys with big noses.
4.) I thought you were 15, and you were a student in B-7. I really did.
5.) I have a thing for guys who speak spanish.
6.) I like guys with sexy cars.
7) I like tennis players.
8.) I have a thing for older men.
9) ("The Old Standby") "I don't know! I just like you!"
10.) You're nice.
11.) I like guys with a first name like senor
12.) Nobody loves me. I need a man!
That's all I could think of now.
May 11, 1999 (tenth grade)
Darnice told me all this dirt about Senor Walton. (he is here today). Liek he njoyed the old Nentendo ngame "techbowl" when he was in college, and he would play it for half of the night, and him and his brother has a playstation, and Darnice says that she thinks that he wears the same brown and blue socks every day, and when he gets angry, he scrunches his nose up.
May 11, 2000 (eleventh grade)
10: 45 a.m.
You ever notice when you see an angry looking skanky chick, and she's all mad at her boyfriend, and she's all like "leave me alone!" to her trashy looking boyfriend, don't you feel like yelling "Shut up, you skanky bitch!". Well, I do. I so mean!
11:40 a.m.
Looky at what I wrote:
She was walking down Columbus avenue like she does everyday heading to work. She thought that she would see the same nameless that she sees everyday, but she feels as though she knows them personally. Then, down the way some she sees someone who looks ever-so-familar. She hadn't seen him at school five years ago, nor in college last sememster. "I see that man everynight and there he is walking down the street", she thought as they both see each other she yells out the mans name. He stops and smiles.
"yes?" he asks.
"hi"
He puts out a hand to be shaken. She puts her hand into his, thinking that it would be just an inational handshake, but he keeps on holding her hand. She gets nervous as she stares at his blue eyes that usually look green on television. She gets embarassed that she was wearing her work uniform. She lets go of his hand and runs away.
She thought that she saw him glance back, but she would never be sure.
9:01 p.m.
Vance cut his hair - it looked like he just walked out of the shower - yucky.
May 9, 2001 (senior year)
This morning, about five minutes before I left the house, I got stopped in my tracks with my Vance e-mails that used to be on my wall. I noticed two things instantly:
In the past four or five e-mails, Vance has hinted around or blantly (sp?) said that he was busy.
I always sound like a small child in these e-mails. I sound like a slow girl, who's around my actual age.Vance used to be nice (very nice) to me ... now its just "I'm really really busy" Also, why do I think Vance has some sort of attraction with me>? Why?! I remember a while back when Chaney said something along the lines of "I bet that turns Vance on having a 17 year old talk to him, or liking him"
May 17, 2002 (vocational school)
10:04 a.m.
I got to Walgreens this morning, and I finally got the much coveted Vanilla Coke. My god, it tastes so good. It tastes like ice cream. Too bad I got it at like 8:45 this morning, and now its going to be all hot by lunchtime. I wish I had more money; I would of bought two. They had like 75 of them sitting in a bin near the cash registers where the "As Seen On TV" stuff usually is. I keep on looking at it next to me, and saying to myself "I'ts getting h-h-otttt" I hope it has a longer shelf life than Crystal Pepsi. I was nine when that stuff came out. I remember my dad went to a grocery store (probably Super Fresh)and bought a two liter bottle of it for me and my mom a few nights after it came out. I'm really ticked that I don't remember the taste to it. The last time I saw it was 1996 at Super Fresh, and I wish I had bought it.
May 7, 2003 (unemployed)
4:21 p.m.
I had a dream this morning that I was at this grocery store that looked familar, but I can't put my finger on which one it was. I was at the refrigrated section, and I saw these cans of SPAM, and I really, really wanted some SPAM. I remember the SPAM was near the cheese, and I started to take a can off the shelf, and I realzied that all the SPAM cans were bent up in these shapes, and some of them were mislabled like the UPC code and the nutrion facts were just printed over and over again, instead of the word "SPAM" and the picture of the SPAMburger.
Having that dream made me want to buy some SPAM, but I never know what to do with it.
"111-1111. Hello? Lois? Drat!"
When you were yonger, did you ever memorize someone who you liked phone number, and whenever you saw an unplugged phone in your house,or you were bored at the thrift store, waiting for your mom, looking at the phones, did you ever dial the number?

And Kristy Probably Lives With Dawn Now
I was thinking, if the members of the Babysitter's Club book series were real, most of them would be turning thirty this year.
Other "if they were real" things:
But can't you imagine Dawn and Kristy together?
And Stacey probably lives in NY now.
Claudia probably went to community college due to her bad grades, but excelled in the art classes.
Mallory is probably still in graduate school.
Jessi probably doesn't want anythintg to do with them.
Mary Anne probably has three kids and is married to Logan.
And I Didn't Go Into Bath And Body Works!!
I went out to Patrick Henry Mall today to spend some of the $74.00 I got for working Friday.
I bought these shoes at Hot Topic:
Guess how much I paid for them? $6.99. They are a size 11 though, but they fit me just fine.
I also got this sticker, and the girl who worked there and I talked about nerds for a few minutes. She said she was glad she saw someone who loved nerds too:
I don't know where I'm going to put it though. I'd love to put it on my car, but my dad drives my car sometimes, and so does my mom. And anyways, I'd get asshole guys hoking their horns, saying "I'm a geek, baby!" as an assholian joke anyway.
I also saw some tapes that I wanted today. (South Park the Movie and a three volume version of some MST3K stuff), but I thought mom told me not to buy anything other than clothes with the money, so I didn't. I couldn't of afforded the MST3K stuff, but I could of gotten South Park the movie!

Chicken And Something?
I love that song Terrance and Phillip are singing during the "Ed Sullivan" clip during the "behind the blow" ep.
And while I'm on the subject, has comedy central ever shown "not without my anus" since 1998? I've been watching SP every week since 2000, and I've never seen the episode.
Like Oh My Gawd! He's So Cute!
Ed was mentioned on this teen magazine's website, Alloy:
"She Dials The Final 2, breaks a fingernail, and cusses a shit under her breath irrated at Suzannefor being in a location wiith a loser area code"*
I wonder how long a phone number lasts? Like does it last as long as you have the house. (almost everyone uses verizon, so I can't say "or does it change when you change phone companies?") I bet someone out in where I live in Wakefield has probably had the same phone number for 30 years now.
* : Karla, Microserfs
"Apply In Person"
I got my check today. And I only got paid for Friday (as I assumed), and when I talked to the woman who worked there "Sam", she was very sarcastic with me. I asked her if she has received my new resume, and she said yes, and I told her that I could do more things other than office work, as long as it wasn't working in a restaurant,and she said in a very sarcastic tone "thanks, 'Connie'" (of course she said my real name), like she wanted me to leave. I don't think I'm ever going back there again. I've already blown my chance with them. I'm waiting for a temp place in Williamsburg to call me now.
The whole way home, I was thinking "what went wrong?" When I was a senior in high school (two years ago), I thought I was going to succeed after high school. I thought I would be doing much much better than the people in my english class. They probably all have jobs though, even if it is McDonalds. One day in October, 2001, I went by this McDonalds near the high school, and three people working there were people in my English class. One was an assistant manager, I think. (she was dressed nicer than the other ones, and she had the second best grade in our class, I think, which was probably because she dressed nicer than them). I remember I thought I was doing so much better than them because I was in a so-called "business college". Fast forward to now. I'm the one stuck at home without a job, and they're probably still working at McDonalds. One girl (a girl I hated because she was a flat-out bitch, and she was mean to everyone), is probably the manager of Hardees, I mean she worked there since she was 15 years old.
I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't have a job by this time next year. My parents and everyone else in my family will probably hate me by then.
Everyone tells me to go back to school, but I have a hard time learning things. I have a short attention span, and I always forget a step along the way. The only thing I'm "good" at is being a daily show fan, and that sure as hell isn't going to get me a job.

New, Plain Layout
I was leafing though the Douglas Coupland book "Microserfs" and I thought it would be neat to have a plain layout for a month. See how long I can go without putting a crappy image up at the top or something.
"Mo Has Two Mommies"
Gardenburger Chik'n Grill and ribs taste ten times better than real meat.
I do want to get "back to work" soon. I filled out the contact form at one temp place in Williamsburg.
Ed Helms was on TDS last night. (I watched it this morning though). Boy was I happy to see him. And Mo did "Mark Your Calendar". I have no problem with him doing it, really. He's just as good as Ed at it, and it was nice to see Mo too. Hopefully Mo will be on more now, since his college tour probably ended recently.

I GOT TERMINATED!!
I thought I'd never be happy to type those words. I came home today feeling like crap from the drive, and what went on today, and my mom told me that Don Richards (the hiring place) called the house like 10 minutes after I left DECA to head home, and told me that my assigment was terminated. I am kind of upset that they called Don Richards like ten minutes after I left. But I couldn't do that every day. Sitting and looking at numbers all day, and doing math. When I called "Sam" (who works at Don Richards) about it, she said "Yeah! What was up with that!!" like DECA had been talking bad about me to her. My biggest fear is that they thought I was lazy. I mean I only took one break today, and I went to the restroom twice. Those were the only times I left my desk. They probably "fired" some other people too. These two women sitting next to my desk talked the whole time today. And the other two on the other side of me, wasn't getting it either.
I just hope I didn't leave anything....
But it is a little sad that I'm back at sqare one again. No job, no money (expect for the pittance I got for Friday, I'm sure I didn't get paid for today).

"You sure did! You made everyone else who is suffering through the worst economy in years feel like shit!"*
I couldn't wait to get into the Career Builder section of our paper today, and on the front page of it there's an article on how the newest college graduates are going to have a hard time finding a job, and there's this little article embedded into the article on how someone at Norfolk State has already gotten a job at the local tv station. Isin't that going to make all the college grads (and to a much much lesser extent vocational school grads such as I) feel like shit? Maybe its just me.

Please Don't Pick The Daises
(taken from a journal entry from March 17, 2003)
9:10 a.m.
I remember around this time at Syms [my middle school] this small patch of daffodils would grow, and on the way to the buses at the end of the day, some of the kids would pick some daffodils. I think the school finally had to mow them down. If I had a school, I'd grow a humongous field of daffodils, and just let the kids pick them and give them to their boyfriends/gilfriends. It's better than them giving their boyfriends/girlfriends something else....

I Hope There's A Swimsuit Competition
I was bored tonight, so I searched for Ed on the comedy central tv schedule, and I found this:
5/19/2003 1100 PM All Times ET/PT
TDS Presents I'm A Correspondent (ep#7203) [cc]
Ed Helms and Rob Corddry compete in a series of challenges to determine who keeps his job and who gets thrown off the show.
Show information
I'm pretty sure the special is just a joke, I mean they're not going to kick off a correspondent right before they start to gear up for the presidental elections or something, you know? I love Rob, but I'd have to root for Ed. They better not "kick" off Ed! I mean Ed used to be a lifeguard, Ed has hair, Ed looks sexay in a pair of tight red boxers....
If I Could Just Have A Computer, I'd Be OK
I didn't like work today. I mean the place is nice, and the people are nice, but we have to do MATH all day like little accountants. Math for eight hours, its like accounting math. We work for DECA (which runs all the commassaires on the bases in the US) and there was tons of errors in thier invoices, and they wern't matching up with their recepits, so we have to find the errors, and fix them. I did awful in accounting in high school and at Kee, so I'm going to give it until Thursday, and if I dont' get it then (we're not even sure if were going to be there for a month, it may even be two weeks) I may have to just quit. This woman that works there tried to help me, but I just coudn't get the hang of it. I'm awful at math. I think I may bring a couple of things to put on my desk to cheer me up next week.
I'm not going to lie to you, I was crying a little (basically out of confusion) when I left today, and then I saw a note from my dad with directions on how to get home. (he followed me there today, because I wasn't shure how to get there) That really made me cry. And then I felt a sharp pain in my stomach when I almost missed my exit on the interstate on the way home.

But I Had Witnesses Watch Me Sweep That Under The Rug!!
NOOOO!! They're showing the worst Ed Helms daily show story EVER!! AGAIN!! NOOO!! (its entitled "banned aid" in case you missed it)
The Shopping Centers God Forgot...
I got a temp job starting tomorrow. I'm not thrilled about it. (less than thrilled). It's all my nightmares come true. I have to get up at 5 a.m., its like an hour away, I have to take the interstate to get there. The place where it is is like half a world away from where I'm from.. All there is out there is shopping centers, its like a place you would pass on a road trip. I didn't see anyone stopping, just passing by. I predict these things will happen tomorrow:
I guess I should be heading off to bed soon, getting up at 11:00 to watch TDS and Family Guy, and then head back to bed.
"Teresa Speaking..."
I've come to the conclusion that at every temp agency/hiring place there is always going to be someone named Teresa working there.
