Random happenings
I am bad at keeping this journal updated. I often think, 'I should write about that.' But I forget.
...when I was coming back from a trip to Bellevue, I was talking on my phone to Douglass. Douglass is pregnant! YAY! She was telling me some of her possible baby names. One was "Sapphire." So I started coming up with my own. The first was "Shiny Rock." Then I passed a billboard that had a baby and an ice cream cone on it, and so my next choice became "Ice Cream Cone." Then I passed a sign for the town "Marion" and decided that's a cool name. I hope I don't drive much if I ever have kids, because they'll end up with some pretty stupid, random names!
Last weekend instead of going to California like originally planned, I went to Bellevue because Skybus (the airline I had plane tickets for) went bankrupt. It was fun hanging out with my mom, step dad, sister, nephew & assorted animals. It was not fun waking up so freaking early every morning. I am still catching up on sleep.

The Office finale was this week. While I was a tinsy bit disappointed in the lack of Jam engagement, I LOVED the ending. It was scream-worthy. And I did scream.
I saw Panic at the Disco with DeAnna last night. It was fun, except for the part where we stood in line to get in for an hour, then waited almost 3 more hours for Panic to go on. They sang my favorite song of theirs "Lying is the most fun..." And I discovered my phone has a video camera on it. I knew it had a picture camera, but I've had the thing for a year and just figured out there's a camcorder, too. It basically sucks, though. Of course.
I've been dating a bit lately. I went out with a guy who asked me to go home with him 15 minutes into our first drink. Then he told me I was the first girl he's been out with and that he was really nervous. Maybe I'm mean, but I declined a second date. I met a guy for lunch yesterday, and he was pretty cool. We talked for three hours, but it didn't feel that long. Time really flew! I think that's a good sign. I'm still pretty nervous at the thought of actually being in a relationship. I get suspicious when someone likes me. I think I have issues.
I'm beginning to move in less than a week. It'll be so awesome to be downtown so I can ride my bike to work. Gas is almost over $4 a gallon, and that's just so depressing. I remember right after I got my license when I was 16, my first tank of gas was $1.32 a gallon. It'll probably never be that again.
David Cook is in the final two on American Idol. YAY! Someone I actually like a lot didn't get voted off. Of course it probably helps that I bought a prepaid AT&T phone to send in text votes for him. I'm sure it's me alone keeping him in the competition. Now the question is do I really want him to win? I don't care at this point, because he'll obviously have a career (that album of his that I recommended a few entries back, Analog Heart, was pulled off Amazon the week it hit #1 and was beating Mariah Carey!), but does he really want to win and go through all the cheesiness? I'll probably vote for him anyway.
Sierra is still good. She hasn't thrown herself off the balcony from boredom yet. She went with me to Bellevue last weekend, and my mom's yippy dogs taught her to bark. That was awesome of them.
My one year anniversary at The Dispatch is coming up this Wednesday. Of course, I have the day off. So maybe I'll just celebrate it by myself...
