Dear sir or madam

Happy Halloweeeeen :)


And now for this love...



Enjoy the day!

I would just like to say that I am so unbelievably cozy right now, I can hardly tolerate it. The only thing that would make it better would be if I went and got a cup of tea or hot cocoa for myself, but this would interrupt the coziness.

My lava lamp is going full force.

Holy frick, is it raining now too? Eeeee

Celebrated Koko Bean's 20th birthday last night with a stop at the hookah bar. For future references: No on the watermelon, definite yes on the cherry. Opposite of my prediction. How crazy.

First award show of the season was tonight! The good ol' Emmys always provide such entertainment.

And now off to bed to begin yet another hectic week. Probably the story of my life for the next 40 years or so :)

Joey's Friend: "Is your sister a gangster like mine tries to be?"
Joey: "No, she's a hippie."
*silence*

I love my brother.

Oh, and because I haven't posted one of these in a while...

Here's a very happy, nerdy Zachary Quinto :)

Ashlee's engaged :D!!

We're all getting so old...

"Don't try to fake a Wisconsin accent. We don't have an accent. That will incite a riot and you will get your ass kicked." - Unknown Wisconsinite

Oh, I love Wisconsin.
I've been out of my mind... I actually was enjoying the somewhat cooler temperatures. I was all giddy and excited to throw on jeans and sweatshirt.
Wisconsin is a ridiculous state. It seems to take pride in its drunkenness, gluttony, and oblivious pride in its sports teams. It's embarrassing to see most Wisconsinites on TV, portraying the stereotype.
But I really love this state. If I didn't, would I have actually teared up at seeing the peaceful farmlands and beautiful forests as I flew over it after vacationing in Utah?
Basically, it is now an absolute truth that I will live in Wisconsin for the rest of my life. And if I do end up leaving it, I will never feel truly pleased with my surroundings again.
We get something of a peak of every season... Fall shows us every possible color a leaf can be, Winter is long and absolutely FREEZING, Spring is rainy and beautiful in its vegetation, and Summers in Wisconsin can be mind-numbingly hot with perfect days here and there for kids to play outside. I think I'm lucky :)

What a horrid, sappy entry.

Paul McCartney on Letterman!!!
Thank you Jesus :)

So, I may or may not be watching the Michael Jackson Memorial (which happens to be on pretty much every channel) and crying my eyes out.
Something about people crying while singing just kills me.

Oh God, they're singing "Will You Be There"... one of my favorite songs since I was itty bitty.
:(

Haha, imdb.
Michael Jackson's page: Up 93,650% in popularity this week.

Frickin' A.

Ughh, I'm heartbroken :(

Oh my God... yes, it comes in threes.

Ed McMahon died a few days ago... very sad, but the man was old and ill, and that's not incredible unusual.

Today, Farrah Fawcett died of cancer. She'd had it for a while, and it's always sad when someone can't fight it anymore. It's a tragedy.

Only hours ago, Michael Jackson died. I'm truly in shock... he was only 50! And say what you want about Michael the person, that man was such an amazing entertainer. Television stations keep showing quickly thrown-together programs about his life, and playing past interviews... this man was so gentle. He most certainly had mental and physical issues, there's no question... but he had such an innocent presence and way of speaking, it seemed so childlike.
I'm very aware that people die every day, young and old, famous or wallflower, but this is huge. I most definitely was, and still am, a fan. I'm so deeply saddened by this... I was listening to the radio on the way home from work today (which is where I found out), and his songs were playing on several stations. People were calling in between every song crying, some saying that a part of them had died. While it sounds a bit extreme and a bit hard for those under 35 to understand, this man affected and entertained people to a huge extent, even me, despite being born after the height of his fame.
I so badly want to cry about this, but I'm seriously in shock, and can't seem to. It's incredibly tragic :(.

California? For real?

Awww :)

Man, Charlie Chaplin was a handsome fellow back in the day.

Oh goody... my summer vacation started six hours ago and I've consumed it with writing LJ entries. Holla Summer.

Man. I don't know if this makes me extremely uncool or cool, but I absolutely love Simon and Garfunkel. Someone tell me here.
I got a major rep to protect and everything.

So, I know really awful things are happening to people all around.
People are suffering, people are broke, people are in pain...

Mimi's little Birdie passed away this evening; she was only about a year old.
I took care of her for five months or so, and I thought of her as a little pet of mine, too.

I can't stop crying :(

"Researchers say that two BILLION people could be infected if this turns into a pandemic!" WFRV News

Okay, Swine Flu... or H1N1, apologies...
YOU ARE A BAD COLD. THAT IS ALL.
Those who went untreated died, yes... those who had pre-existing conditions died, yes... as they would with the NORMAL flu.
Seriously, must they have one of these every single year? Last I checked, we survived SARS, anthrax... and basically everything in the last few years. But hey, for what it's worth, thank you, news, for distracting us from things that are incredibly important to our future.

Apologies. I'm just painfully sick of hearing about it.

Happy Trails!

EHHHH

LOL.

My title is NOT a lie!! I have to get up in about six hours, too :)

I am PAINFULLY excited! A little nervous about flying alone for the first time, but it'll all be a great experience. WOOO!!!

UTAHHH!!!
