do people actually use this thing still?  first time i've been on here in years.

do you ever feel like the radio is taunting you?  or trying to tell you something?

jon heder (yes - the guy that played napolean dynamite) and ashlee simpson are going to be on saturday night live this saturday. should be interesting.

this is how things are supposed to be.

also, new icon.

i'm going to the u.p. with amber tomorrow for her cousin's wedding. this is probably the most i have ever needed a vacation.

i think it's true that when you find that certain someone, you just know. and i swear i am not crying wolf this time.

someone pinch me; i must be dreaming.
the nice guy is not finishing last for once.

if you have any bad news for me, this is the time. apparently, it's "shit on derda" week.

i don't think that there is a band angry enough to fit my mood right now; though, if you have some suggestions, i would love to hear them. (keep in mind that lyrics help, but they don't do it alone for me.)

i guessed a lot better than everyone else in the store ncaa brackets and won an ipod shuffle. anyone want to tell me how the hell to use it now?

emike - "derda, you're so crucial."
derda - "that may be the sweetest thing you've ever said to me."
emike - "that's not true. i called you snuggletush last week."

my man has a way with words.

almost done moving into the new place.

anyone care to join me in the hot tub?

if i don't quit listening to the new comeback kid in the car, i am going to get a speeding ticket.
