Ugh. I am exhausted and have been all week. It’s like my body has forgotten how to sleep or something. Aside from my overall grumpy demeanor with people, today I realized that I have black bags under my eyes – and that when I did my make-up this morning, I only did the bottom half of my face. Yes, I forgot to do the top half of my face. Duh me. I had taken off tomorrow and Monday from work so maybe my body will actually go to sleep and let me get some rest. I’m sure people would like a non-grumpy Jenn. Of course, the one good thing is really, I’m not as timid and my brain doesn’t fully connect to my mouth. The other morning someone asked me what to do with a mail crate at their desk and I turned around and told them to use it as a booster seat. I don’t do that stuff at work. Yes, I am sarcastic but I leave that for outside work. It’s probably better if I stay away from people until I get some sleep.
I’ve seen all the episodes of The IT Crowd now. And I want more. I ♥ this show. Seriously. When I watched the first episode, I thought it was going to suck but I kept watching and it was awesome. It really makes me want to embrace my inner geek and just jump into computers headfirst. Oh who am I kidding, you know I’m going to do it. Of course, I’m not going to ruin my black and white effect going on in my new bedroom but I have the entire family room to decorate and I’m thinking that my Star Trek: 2009 movie poster is going to look good out there. Hmm…and video games. *nods* Where was I though? Oh right, the TV show. Seriously, the show is funny. I really wish that I could know those two guys. Well, I don’t know because while I think they’re cool, I have this difficultly talking to the male species. I always have so much to say, then I get faced to a member of the male species and my brain goes blank and I make a complete ass of myself. Why? What is is about someone with XY chromosomes that makes my mind stop working?
Alright, I should work on some penpal letters and some e-mails before class tonight. Get stuff caught up and I can even watch an episodes of The IT Crowd again or find something else to watch.

Tomorrow is Wicked! Yay! I cannot wait to see this musical. I have been waiting ages to see this and finally, the day has come. I just hope I don’t start singing along because I did that to Phantom of the Opera when I finally got to see that. So here’s hoping I don’t start singing along to this. 
But over all, I am super excited. I’ve read the book and I’ve listened to the soundtrack and I do know that two are different but I think I actually like the musical better then the book. Though thinking about it, I might read the book again.
I’ve been working on thegrrlgeek.net and while I haven’t gotten much up there, I am having fun adding in the code. Okay, so I did not design the actual layout but as I am adding content, I do have to work with some of the code. If I didn’t have such a problem with creating graphics, I would have tried doing the entire layout by myself, but I completely suck when it comes to graphics. That has always been my downfall. The coding not so much. With a little reading and a little work…and some memorizing, the coding flows along easily. Anyways, I’ve been working on it though I do still have a lot more of my various writing pieces to get coded and then uploaded but I’ll work on that tomorrow when we get home from Wicked. Tonight…my brain is mush and not actually putting together solid thoughts. Which is actually kind of fun in an over tired haven’t really slept much or eaten much the last week type of way.

The stores are getting even more crazy if that is even possible. It took my longer to get from work to the mall area then it normally takes me to get home home at night and I only live five to ten minutes past the mall. Not that I was going to the mall. I cannot say that last time that I was in the mall. But still, it was the area that I was going. I could not believe the number of cars on the road and the number of people who were just driving like complete morons. Since I was going to dinner with Gretchen tonight at 6, I decided that it probably wasn’t even worth it to try and go home only to have to make my way back to Olive Garden. Instead, I stopped at Ulta to pick up more chocolate hand creame and the couple of things that my mom needed. It was crowded in there but I really think it was more people like me hitting the sales for stuff that we like then for people really shopping for anyone else. After that, I stopped at Barnes and Nobles to see if I could get the Star Bucks gift card I need for tomorrow night but since the Star Bucks is in Barnes and Nobles, they only do Barnes and Nobles gift cards. That was fine; I just decided to kill some time and wander around the store to see if there was anything that I might like to read on my week off. Probably not the best idea since I had my laptop with me and as I wasn’t leaving it in the car, I was carrying that bag around with me. After the first five minutes or so, the thing gets really heavy and I really wish I had left it at home. But someone said they were bringing a DVD to work and asked if I could bring it in the play it. And then they forgot the DVD. I did find two books to see if I like them and plan on reading them next week along with playing some computer games.
I didn’t spend to much time in the book store since I really am trying to limit the number of books I buy right now. By that point it was 5:20 and I just decided to go sit at Olive Garden until Gretchen got there. I am glad that I left early since it took me over twenty minutes to GET ACROSS THE DAMNED STREET. It drove me nuts. If I was so inclined, I could have walked across the street faster then it took me to move two feet in the parking lot. I still got there early though and when I texted Gretchen, she said go in and put my name in so we could get a table. They were not busy at all and so I got a table right away. I think the waitress felt sorry for me because I had to wait twenty minutes for Gretchen to get through traffic because she kept coming over and asking if I was okay and just randomly talking to me. It was nice actually. Dinner was not bad and while I do not like chocolate cake, we split chocolate cake and it was good. LOL.
Tomorrow I have to run to Star Bucks and WaWa to get two gifts cards and I do believe that I need to get my eye brows done. At least I do if they aren’t too crazy. With it being Christmas Eve, they might be packed. So I guess that means I am getting up early and hoping to beat the crowds out at the stores. Once we get home, I can play World of Warcraft and try to get my character to level 10 or higher. It’s weird being so low again but I deleted all my old characters. Yes, I know, that was stupid and crazy of me. But we shall see how I do. It can be fun and exciting. I do know we have dinner at Mel’s parents house tomorrow night though I’m not sure what time we need to be there so Steve is going to call our dad tomorrow morning and find out. And with that, I am freezing and sleepy so I think I’m going to go curl up in my bed and sleep for a bit.

Why could it not be Wednesday night? I’ve seen this movie five hundred times; including three times in the theater when it was first released but I still want to watch it. Between the cars and the music – I’m in heaven. And it just ended. But I didn’t get to see it from the beginning. God, I am sure a sucker for a fast car. And there is a Porsche. Dear God. I want one. Who or what do I have to do to get one? And I really do not mean that literally. Because that would go against all my personal beliefs and feelings and that is not something that I want to do. Blah. Must go drag myself away from the TV and to dream land.

Ohhh…the Christmas presents I bought myself came today. Yay! I may not have anyone else done except for Nathan but I did buy myself presents. How egotistical is that? In my defense – it is Nathan’s first Christmas and Aunt Jenn does have to start his book collection. What kind of Aunt would I be if I didn’t start him on books? I also want to start him with his first computer games and his first video games. But since he’s only a month old, I do think I have some time before I need to worry about that. Though, you can never start someone too young. Look at me. I’ve been on a computer since I was two. And I’m not addicted to it or anything. *pets computer lovingly* Anyways, I regress like normal. I am apparently a raccoon. Tomorrow night and Thursday morning, I am going to have to go out and buy gifts. It’s the only way to get this done. I should have done it tonight but I had therapy and just wanted to come home to my computer. To play WoW. Which I’m not doing because I’ve been texting Gretchen (and you so cannot text and play WoW at the same time) and reading Ironman fanfic. Change of plans for Wednesday night. Instead of going to Panera Bread like we had planned, we are going to Olive Garden where the pig out Christmas Feast will occur along with plenty of girl talk, exchanging of gifts and crying over desert. So if you’re in the Willow Grove area on Wednesday around six…you might want to avoid Olive Garden. Just saying. I wonder if they have WiFi. I could bring my laptop.

Thank goodness that this is a short week at work and that I’m off next week because I really feel like I have a tension headache going on. Not that I really have anything to be tense over but the back of my neck and behind my eyes is killing me. So…it’s time to take some Aleeve and play some WoW so I can kill some things. I know, my therapist would probably think that’s counter productive but he was the one walking around with a Grinch doll on his shoulder talking to it so I don’t want to hear a thing. Actually, the more I think about it, it might not be a tension headache – I might be hungry. Food would be good. Food is cooking. Food is something I can play with tonight. We’re having dinosaur shaped chicken nugget and french fries…someone will have her dinner walking all over the plate. Yes, I may be twenty-seven but I still play with my food and I’m not afraid to admit it. Afraid to admit just about everything else but if it’s trivial, then I will admit it. Admit that I like someone? Never.
I will say that traffic is horrible right now. It took me the whole thirty minutes to get from work to therapy – something which normally only takes 23 minutes. And it took me over ten minutes to go a distance that normally takes me two minutes even with rush hour traffic. Yeah. It was frickin wonderful out there. Tomorrow should be even better since I actually have to do my Christmas shopping; and Wednesday Gretchen and I are doing dinner…I may be ripping my hair out by Thursday. And dinner is done. Sweet!

There is just something about a snow day that wants to make you curl up and not move. Or run outside, lean your head back and act like a four year old trying to catch snow on their tongue. I’ve done both. LOL. This morning I got up to some snow on the ground but not too much and so I drug the brat out of his room and made him come grocery shopping with me. We now have food to eat…and it’s not snow! LoL. Never mind that I found food in the freezer that we could have eaten. Took some pictures as we were driving home – only at red lights since I have put into effect that I cannot talk on the cell phone and drive in good weather – forget snowy weather. On the way home we stopped at WaWa because its not like we had just left the grocery store or anything and got sandwiches for lunch…and I got Diet Orange Soda! I <3 orange soda. Once we got home, I spent twenty minutes fighting with the freezer to get the food away and then got to eat my lunch while watching Mythbusters. Sadly, after lunch, I had to write my essay for Legal Writing. I did finish it though so that is a good thing. I’ve been dreading having to write this and putting it off but its done. Now I no longer have to worry about writing it and instead can worry about having to write the next one. Yeah, so much fun. While I was writing that, I re-downloaded WoW because let’s face it, I’m just a hopeless geek who has her computer in her life and law school. Oh yeah, and facebook because apparently I’m addicted to that. So let’s see, I’m addicted to facebook, the Internet, new gadgets and looking at cute guys but not doing anything about it. Yup…so completely hopeless. Anyways, the rest of the night is going to be spent here on the computer either a) working on thegrrlgeek.net to get 7DayPrompt up, b) aimlessly looking at videos on YouTube and FunnyOrDie, c) playing WoW, d) playing TheSims3, or e) something else completely random. I will be warm though as since its snowing, I refuse to worry about what I’m wearing and am lying around in both a Hatboro-Horsham t-shirt and sweat pants and an over-sized hoodie. And if anyone has a problem with that, they can bite me. Though if they bite me, I’m going to bite them back!
In other news…errr…there was other news that I wanted to share but apparently I have lost my mind. I haven’t lost my Grinch doll though because he’s sitting here next to me on the couch. Madi though…she loves the heater more then she loves me. Little brat. And I’m out of orange soda. NNNNOOOO. Need more orange soda. Hmm…I could sled down to WaWa and get some more but then I’d have to walk back up the hill. No, not going to do that. Guess it’s Diet Iced Tea instead. Blah. Want orange soda. Mind has completely run away. It must be hiding from more essays but I promised it no more writing them tonight. And with that…I think I’m going over to livejournal because the more random and free my mind gets, the less I know what I’m typing.

Every night I take a little white pill.
Without the pill, functioning as a normal human is difficult.
Oh, I get along alright.
But I retreat into myself and shy away from human contact.
Without the pill I am only half there.
With the pill I almost seem normal.
Going out doesn’t hurt so much.
And people aren’t so scary.
Happy is an every day occurrence.
It doesn’t stop the constant chatter.
But focusing is a bit easier.
There will never be a day I don’t need the little white pill.
Even though I wish there would.

I cannot believe that September is almost over. Come Thursday, October will be here and only three months will remain until 2010. It seems like only yesterday, we were celebrating the beginning of 2009. Soon, the holiday season will be upon us and this year, I am hoping to celebrate in a fun and meaningful way. How, I am not too sure at this moment. But I will figure it out. To do this, beginning the first of October I will begin searching the Internet for fun holiday traditions, games, songs, stories, recipes, decorating ideas and just anything to do with the coming holidays. I am excited for what can be found. Here’s hoping I can find lots of good things.

Happy Sunday! It’s August 9th and in 22 days, I begin law school. It’s becoming a bit overwhelming in that I still have so much I need to get done. I have purchased all the books and notebooks that I will need for school so that is one less thing that I need to worry about. But there is still so much more that I need to do. And the biggest is de-clutter my bedroom and get rid of as much as I possibly can. It’s going to be a daunting task but one that I will do. I’ve been reading various de-cluttering articles and blogs and have some ideas as to where I need to start. Now it’s just getting my ass into gear and actually going up and working on it. I was tonight but I’m sleepy. And ready for bed. And will be wandering up there in a few minutes.
