Lipsynching better than Britney

So im sitting in the office right now, catching up with our lovely blog site, lipsynching to a mix i have on my ipod. Now normally I would just sing with the music but there are two other people in the same room as me and that would just be cruel and unusual punishment for them (Rach, you know what im talking about). I've been "pretend singing" along to a bunch of stuff (some David Gray, Ryan Adams, Fleetwood Mac, U2, and Tears of Fears just to name a few) and as i was doing that, I turned around and noticed Lauren, another girl i work with, looking at me with this expression of "what the fuck is she doing?" I aim to please, what can i say. Which gets me thinking. I beginning to feel/realize that one of my purposes on this planet is to confuse people beyond all recognition by the things i do and say. Now, I'm not saying this is a bad thing. I think confusing people is actually beneficial in some bizarre love triangle kinda way (name that reference!). I mean, if there wasnt that person to look at and say to yourself "man, they are completely crazy...but funny," life would be so boring. Maybe im doing others a favor by making myself look like a complete idiot most of the time, giving others the opportunity to act like an idiot themselves and just forget or care what others think about them. Its a role i think i have finally come to accept. Last night was when i had this little ephipany. I was out with Sean and Evan, my two best friends here in Jersey, at Denny's after a late night game of bowling (which i totally kicked ass at! i won the second game by 20 points, who would have thunk it? haha). I must have had way too much sugar yesterday or something but i was off the wall, talking in funny voices and laughing at everything and anything. Sean and Evan kept looking at me and laughing. And i started noticing something. As i continued to act like a total goofball, the two of them started to drop their guard and do the same exact thing. It was hilarious. And none of us cared one bit what the other people in Denny's thought of us first because yes, its midnight at Denny's, its not the cream of the crop who go there and secondly, because it was fun. So i guess what im saying is act like an idiot and total goof whenever you get the chance. Life is so much more fun when you stop worrying about others will think and do what makes you happy. Im not sure if any of that made sense but whatevs. I make people confused anyway by the things i do so might as well confuse all of you.

Man im bored.

I went skating for the first time yesterday morning in 4 full months. Lets just say my ass hurts...alot. I hadn't gotten my skates sharpened in over a year (the equiliancy of skating on butter knives) but while i was away my mom got them sharpened. So sharp skates + out of shape = trouble. When I havent done anything and have dull blades, I can usually do all my jumps no problem. But when i havent done anything and have sharp blades, well thats a horse of a different color (probably red, i dunno, ooh! or purple). Now i could skate just fine but doing jumps was hard. My body and muscles remembered how to do everything but man, skating with an edge after that long is hard, very hard. But i loved it, every minute of it. I had missed it so much and i felt like part of my life had been missing. So now im gonna try and skate 2/3 times a week so that i can get back to where i was before (wont take long though). Besides, skating is my passion and i dont think i could ever give it up. The one place i always feel completely at ease.

well thats that. I should probably get back to data entry. I have a THRILLING Eddie Bauer catolog to finish. TTFN all and miss you! only one more month until i can see you all! (Im jealous of all of you New Englanders and being so close to each other..hehe) love ya!

New England can come to you! I was thinking about visiting you within the next few weeks, of course I need to talk to dad and whatnot, but how does that sound?
