A blast from the past...

or two actually. I've been pretty MIA getting ready for school and such, but I thought I'd post these two blogs I wrote while I was at home. On a happy note, within the next few weeks I should have PrincesaNet up and running in my apartment again so I'll finally be able to access the internet from the privacy of my own home instead of having creeps look over my shoulder! Now, on with the old posts!

Okay so this is going to be pretty bootleg because I’m blogging in Microsoft Word since I can’t get online on a plane. It is approximately 9:30 pm and I’ve been on the flight to Orange County for all of 20 minutes. And you know what happened? I dropped my fucking iPod. BEHIND ME. So that means I have approximately 3 hours and 55 minutes to fly with no music! Why don’t I ask the person behind me to pick it up you might ask? Well because I can’t see the person behind me but through the crack of the seat, all I can see is an arm filled with liver spots, signaling to me that they are probably too old to be bending all up under their seat to retrieve my iPod. And what’s more is I think they are having some weird body tremor issue because they keep hitting/kicking the back of my seat. And it’s really pissing me off. I’m already in a rather foul mood because I had a connecting flight which I hate. But what I hated most of all about my last flight is that I sat next to a couple. Now, although the CEO and I are venturing out into couplehood ourselves, it still a little annoying to be in that close of proximity to two people who are all booed up and you’re just trying to sqwunch (yes sqwunch is a word now) over in your seat and not feel like a creepy third wheel. All of this I could deal with honestly. My issue stemmed from when the lady spread a blanket over the two of them. No big deal, I had my sweatshirt on, it was a little chilly. Rhythmic motions under the blanket ending with the man making an odd, muffled, grunting noise, big deal. SICK! Look kudos to them for keeping their love alive or whatever, but airline seats are too close together for you to be whacking off your boyfriend or husband or whatever right next to me! And the grossest part of that is that I heard them mention that they had a connecting flight. So was that man just walking around with jizz in his pants until he made it to his destination? Yuck. Okay I’m still annoyed about my iPod. I need music. I don’t think I can make it all the way there without it. I might have to ask Grandma Moses back there to see if she can reach it. This blows. Oh wait, here’s something that blows even more. The lady just said the tvs are broken. Oh wait, breaking blowing news, the asshole in front of my just basically put his seat back in my lap. Literally so far back that he pushed the screen of my laptop down! ARGHGHGHGHGHGH!! FUCK FUCK FUCK. I’m so annoyed!! I want to shoot everyone right now. I suppose I’ll try to sleep or something…I can’t wait to get home. I would say this flight can’t get any worse, but I don’t want to tempt the fates…

Okay back for another round of bootleg blogging. This time is not because I’m on an airplane, but because I’m sitting in the Atlanta airport and I refuse to play for internet. Its 5:30 am (hooray red-eyes I suppose). I should be boarding my plane in the next 20 minutes or so. Well as per my last entry where I didn’t want to tempt the fates…The rest of my flight wasn’t too horrible. I really couldn’t make it without the music so I wrote a note to the guy 2 rows behind me and he ended up getting for me. Sweet, right? So I jammed a little and slept a lot and ended up in Orange County just before curfew thank God! So I’m feeling pretty good, saw my mommy right away, got my bag and we were waiting for my dad and my mom’s friend to come back around and pick us up. We were waiting for a pretty long time. Then I see my dear old dad shuffling on over to us. But he didn’t look so happy…why you might ask? Because the breaks on my mom’s friend’s car went out. Great, cool. So I’ve flying all night, all I’ve eaten since 11:45 am (East Coast time I might add) was a bag of gummy bears, witnessed a creep getting a handjob in my row, and had to put up with Grandma Moses’ body tremors and now you’re telling me that I can’t get home because this damn car has shoddy breaks?! End the end we had to call my sister to come and take us home. She was so mad and driving like a bat out of hell. But alas, I made it home. It was a pretty good trip I must say. I spent a lot of time with my parents, which was nice. I saw some friends from high school. Oh yeah! So they had the Obama/McCain thing at Saddleback Church which is like 4 minutes from my house. Of course I couldn’t get a ticket because the cheapest tickets were $500, but whatever. So Brooke and I drove by there so we could see what was going on. They had a lot of demonstrators with some pretty hilarious signs. One of my personal favorites was the one that said “Rick Warren is a lying whore!” I found that one so funny because it was professionally done. Like I wonder if dude went into FedEx Kinkos and was just like can you print up a few of these? But my all time favorite was the crappy looking cardboard sign that this grungy 20 something guy was holding. It said “Fuck Obama Fuck McCain & Fuck You.” But what made that sign priceless was that when I looked over to read it, he promptly gave me a very mean face and flipped me off with a passion that I hadn’t seen given to gesture in quite some time. Brooke and I cracked up laughing. Today I ate at In N Out with my parents. It was soooo yummy, but as I was watching my parents eat their Double Doubles, I felt compelled to eat meat. It might be a fleeting thing, but maybe it’s time. I don’t know yet. I mentioned this to the CEO and he offered to make me one of his “amazing” steaks. Apparently all the meat he makes is amazing. I suppose I’ll be the judge of that. I think he’s coming over tonight, but I’m not positive. That’d be nice. Okay this is starting to get a little less coherent and it’s almost time to get on the plane. I suppose I’ll post this when I get back to a free internet connection.

I'm like a bird...

I'm about to fly away!! I'm sitting in the airport waiting to fly home for a bit. I haven't been to California since December so I'm pretty excited to get there. My parents are so cute, they've been counting down for like the last week so it'll be fun to see them too. I feel like I don't have too much to update. I've gotten slightly off track with my running the past 2 days because the CEO stayed at my house Sunday night and last night. I feel like things are moving in a really positive direction for us. I suppose that goes without saying because the entire 9 months that we've known each other its all been really good. Sometimes it almost seems crazy that we're dating. Not like I'm all down and out on myself but its like seriously? You like me? That much? Its just such a different experience than it was with the...hmmm...I haven't come up with a name for him. LoL the gun slinger. Thats what I'm going to call him. Nope Ex Con. Yes I like that better. Anyway, things are so different with the CEO than they were with the Ex Con. He just makes me feel really good and happy and content. Last night he told me that he thinks I'm beautiful when I'm wearing my pajamas (not sexy ones by the way, a wife beater and flannel pants) because I'm just so relaxed and myself and he loves to see me like that. Yes, I'll hold while you're melting a little...How freaking adorable is he?!? Okay, I won't prattle on about the CEO anymore, surely there will be other posts about him. Hmmm...what else? I think that may be it. Looking forward to getting home cooked food and going to Souplantation when I'm at home. If I think of anything else to post before I get on the plane, I'll be back. Gotta head over to PrincesaRuns and update over there too. Lots of California love!

Home improvement...self improvement...Let's see how this goes

So I've been making some changes lately. I have decided (as per my previous post) that I need to do some more stuff to my apartment. The one year mark is approaching and its time for some change. I'm going to be redoing my kitchen, painting to be exact...if anyone has any suggestions on that, they'd be greatly appreciated. I realize its a little hard to paint around the red color scheme of my appliances so I might be getting a new microwave (one that has a timer on it, I might add!!). I also realize being an adult, I might need a place to sit and eat my dinner. That's where the fold up table comes in. Ikea has one pretty cheap and I like the fact that it wouldn't take up extra space. But being ever the princess that I am, I can't be happy with an already existing product. So I want the CEO to build one for me exactly like the Ikea one, except in reverse. I want it to fold up onto the wall instead of down, and I want a picture painted on the back so its like a piece of art on my wall when I'm not using it. Pretty clever, eh? I've also decided to put monorail lighting in my kitchen, preferably with a dimmer switch because I just think it looks cool. I'd like something like this (sorry for the giant picture, but thats just how they posted it...). I'm also going to be putting a ceiling fan in my bedroom. No picture for that...those are pretty standard. I'm also going to put some mirrors on the walls to help reflect the light and make my little spot a little brighter. There, I think thats about it. As for the self improvement front...I've decided to run a marathon!! Okay well not like a real marathon, but when you never exercise, 8K can seem like a marathon. That's right, I will be participating in the Timothy P. Susco Brain Aneurysm Race for Awareness. Its a cause that's pretty close to my heart for several reasons, so I'm doing it. The race is October 4th and I'll be out there running my little heart out. I started "training" this morning which was really just getting my ass up and going running. I did pretty good. LoL I didn't pass out, so thats a start. I did two miles today and I'll continue to do those same two miles until I get my time down. Then I'll start adding a bit more distance. I have about 8 weeks to get there, and I really think I can do it. An 8k in 8 weeks sounds about right. If any of you have any tips for getting in shape, I'd appreciate those! I'm off for now, but until next time...

Grrr I'm mad! And other thoughts too...

Okay this is getting ridiculous. I HAVE to get the internet back in my apartment. I don't mind coming to library or whatever, but sometimes you just need to look something up quickly, and I CAN'T! It's no one's fault but my own, but it still pisses me off nonetheless. Rarr, I'm mad! Okay I think I've gotten that out of my system now. I'm very excited to announce that my little Johnson had started her very own blog!! Read it, book mark it, love it-just like I do. Today I was cleaning my apartment and it dawned on me that I've lived there for almost a year. Crazy right? What's more crazy is that I still have no artwork on my walls. I'm just no good at picking that stuff out. At least I have an idea of what I want in my bedroom. Beautiful pictures of beautiful women I admire. Topping my list is the lovley Dorothy Dandridge, followed by Marilyn Monroe. If I could find some really great posters like these pictures

I would totally frame them and put them in my room. If anyone has any ideas about where to get some, let me know. Well I hate to cut this short, but sadly the library is about to close so I have to leave :( Damnit! I gotta work this out. Are you as annoyed by these half posts as I am? I'll be back in a few days...

Just a few thoughts

Okay so I'm at the library this afternoon, so I thought I'd do a little blogging. I'm a bit tired today, the CEO is throwing off my sleep schedule like you wouldn't believe! That's a story for a different day I suppose though. But yes, today the CEO and I were talking about iPods and playlists, etc and he was basically saying that my shuffle sucks. But thats only because he can't fully appreciate the beauty of a playlist that goes from Gin and Juice to Hit Me Baby One More Time to Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta My Hair. Hmph! I think my iPod plays that way because it reflects my randomness, like it knows me. My good friend Fanny Pack seems to think her iPod has its own personality as well, her name is Tina. Actually speaking of Fanny Pack, you should check out her blog, its pretty awesome and puts my crappy little ramblings to shame, but I love her so I will show her love. Anyway, I was thinking about iPods knowing you and such and when I was at the CEO's house this morning, his was on a heavy rotation of Snoop (yes, my lover) and Chrisette Michelle. Interesting mix right? And then he comments, I guess my iPod must know you're here :) I heart him just a little, can you tell? Anyway, all this has a point, I promise. So I've been thinking about music lately and what some of my favorites are. Now, I'm no hardcore thug, but from time to time, I enjoy a good street anthem. Those of you who know me well, know that I frequently wake up blaring I'm So Hood. My new current favorite is Put On by Jeezy and Kanye. How can you not love that song?? It makes me feel all hype and hard like I'm really cool and from the streets. And when it gets to Kanye's verse I rap along as if my oh so sheltered Orange County life truly parallelled his. Does that make me some kind of fake thug? I hope not...For your listening enjoyment, I will have that song on my page for a while. Crap, I actually want to write more, but I have to babysit tonight. Oh well. Be back eventually!!
