Massive Update
I need to update. This I know. It's been too freaking long. I've just been so exhausted! (And part of me didn't want to knock my Meeting JC story off my main page. But away it must go.) I come home, eat dinner with my parents, check my email, and then fall asleep on the couch watching TV. My life is thrilling.
And if I'm not doing that, I'm out getting coffee, or I'm hunting down the "Blowin' Me Up" single in every CD store imaginable.
Let's see. The job is okay. Not that anyone from work would ever actually be reading this, but just in case, I think that's all I'll say. Other than the fact I really like a lot of the people I work with, and, ironically, that's causing me inner turmoil. I have turmoil! What to do, what to do?!
Has anything exciting happened in the Life of Me? Two weekends ago Jessica came home. We celebrated her 20th birthday with the four grandparents and my uncle. Good times.
Last weekend, Tammy came home. I spent Friday evening at Tammy's, along with her friend Lydia. It was really good to see them again. Lots of fun. Then Saturday I saw How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days with Aarti. It was cute. We tried out Bahama Breeze, which I never went to in Florida, and now we have one here. It was pretty cute. I anticipate it being a hoppin' place come summer. We'll have to wait and see on that, I suppose.
I bought John Mayer's "Any Given Thursday" (the CD version) yesterday. I love it. I also bought the "Blowin' Me Up" single. Mine only has two tracks, though, and the one at Amazon has six. So I think I might get that one, too. Must support "My homey, JC" as JoJo would have me calling him.
Speaking of JoJo, I called back yesterday to throw in a vote (since he's off the countdown), because his single was dropping. I talked to Natalie, and then she let me talk to JoJo. He's a funny dude. He answered my call almost immediately (apparently I was the first one he took), and I ended up being on the phone with him about 20 minutes. All in all, a good expenditure of my phone card minutes. Sucks to be on hold for an hour just to talk for two minutes.
He had me record a bunch of stuff, such as asking him what is up with his crazy hair, voting for JC, of course, talking about how COLD it is in Chicago... he tried to "guess" where I was from, asking all these cities. I kept saying "East of that... farther East... keep going.... WAY East..." It was funny. Then he had me record votes for TATU (they were coming into the studio, even though I had NO idea what song I was voting for) and Good Charlotte. At one point, he said something about getting good at being left-handed, and I said I wanted to be left-handed. He said it's easy. I just have to pretend to break my right arm and wear it in a sling for a few days. I'll get real good at the left-handed thing. I told him people might look at me funny, and he agreed and said that people look at him funny with his broken arm. In fact, the other day he caught a couple kids staring at him. I said "JoJo, they weren't staring at your arm, they were staring at your hair." (His hair is big and curly and brown and blond and reddish, all mixed together.) He laughed real loud. I'm usually pretty meek and polite on the phone and I don't think he expected me to be making fun of him. ;) It was fun, though. I think I'll call back randomly, maybe once a week or so, just to keep up with JoJo and Natalie. And then, of course, when a new single comes out, I'll get my votes in.
Which brings me to needing a new cell phone, preferably one with free nights and weekends. That'll help a lot. I've been looking. So far, it looks like Spring PCS is the best deal. I might go with them.
In other news, NICKY on Friday! I'm excited. First concert I've been to in a loooong time. Well, since Martina McBride this fall, I suppose. But it's the first concert I've been to as a fan since probably this summer with I-4. So, Nick Carter, here I come. Afterwards, we're trying to go to an afterparty at the White Star. Not sure how that all is working, but it should be fun, anyway.
For now, I need to go to bed. Long day ahead of me, and my feet are KILLING me. I was stupid and wore boots to work today. I've been in teller training, and I stand ALL DAY LONG. Which I did no problem at Disney, but I was wearing comfortable shoes. Today, not so much. I have to wear dress shoes every day, but I think tomorrow I'm going to go with something a bit flatter. Oh how I wish I could wear gym shoes to work.
