I'll blame this on the fact I'm tired -- how's that?

Everyone has been writing such profound posts lately that I think I must have exhausted all of my own profundity on commenting. So yeah, like after one comment, I'm toast. Therefore, you get more random thoughts. Lucky you!

I usually appreciate the surround sound system my downstairs neighbor rocks. I envy his ability to play loud music at all times. I do however have to take issue with the fact that this afternoon, that system is playing Shania Twain, who I hate with a fiery passion. I figure that his girlfriend walked in the door, turned on the stereo (and turned it UP) and now? Pure torture.

Is it wrong that I called one of the youth group boys to see if I could borrow some of his bling to complete my gangsta-themed Halloween costume? Is it more wrong that he has a ton of the stuff to loan me? Is it even more wrong that he’s the pastor’s son? I hope to have pictures of the costume, which I will post and you’ll see what I mean. Wrong.

I went and visited my friends’ brand new baby last night. Can I just tell you that that was six pounds of pure ADORABLE? What? Did you say something? I couldn’t hear you over the TICKING OF MY BIOLOGICAL CLOCK. I kid, I kid. I AM a kid. Therefore, not ready for a kid. Anyway, after I left (at like 7:30 – he went to sleep and apparently parents take the sleep when they can) I went to Dan’s, where I was only planning to stay for a minute. Or five hours, could be either. (I chose five hours, because when I got in my car and looked at the clock, I was horrified that I'd have to get up in entirely too short of a time). We sat on the couch and made surprise playlists for each other on iTunes and laughed our asses off at stuff that I laugh at some more when I think about it but won’t put down here, because it was most definitely a “You had to be there” situation. Oh the Dan is so amusing.

Off I go. Tomorrow I’m going to two Halloween parties and prior to that, going to see my aunt at the airport while she’s here for a layover. My mom called today because she’s making signs for us to hold up – this particular aunt is my mom’s youngest sister, who just graduated with her Ph.D, and she’s funny as hell. Clearly this is a situation that requires signs. My mom asked me what I wanted my sign to say and I told her “Congratumalations on your edumacation” – I hope she spells it right.

HI AMBER..HAPPY SUNDAY! i just finished a wonderful breakfast and thought of you. i had:
- omlette
- sausage patty
- hash browns
- piece of toast
- coffee

all in moderation of course. i can't wait for the day when you get to experience what many have already proclaimed to be the best french toast this side of the mississippi. of course i'm talking east of the mississippi.

You know, I haven't been to a good masquerade party in a very long time. I can't imagine what I'd dress up as, although I've always wanted to dress up as a priest (not necessarily on Halloween), and then go get drunk in an airport bar and hit on everyone, just to see the effect. Twisted.

Cheryl said...

I hope she spelled it right. She doesn't want the word nerds to come after her. Can't wait to see your costume. And I don't know who is being profound, but it isn't me.

Marissa said...

I can't wait to see pics of your halloween costume! Post them ASAP! And yes, that whole Shania thing...totally annoying. But getting ghetto bling from pastor's son...not wrong at all. Gotta get the goods where you can, right?! Hope your parties were fun and your sign was a hit! ;)

JillWrites said...

Your random thoughts are fine with me. I don't know who's being profound but it certainly isn't me. When in doubt, just make playlists. That's what I do.

Jenn Doll said...

Man, I am SUCH a douchebag! I'd been meaning to comment on your new profile picture for like the past decade and I STILL haven't! Well, until right now that is.

YOU LOOK FRIGGIN HOT! AY MAMI!

Shania - eeeekkkk! More scary than any Halloween costume...

Alice said...

heh i just realized i never commented on the last post, because when i got to dasi's comment about her brad & angie pic, i ran over there post haste and never looked back. oops.

i am also a closet shania fan. no cds of hers or anything, but i've been known to rock to to "man, i feel like a woman" in my car on more than 1 occasion... *ashamed*

Amanda said...
