top ten songs that bring back memories (and the memories)
1) Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch-Good Vibrations first concert
2) Garth Brooks-Friends In Low Places hearing someone sing it for the first time at baton practice at Sherwood...and also, Ring Formal in college
3) TLC-No Scrubs Sarah and all them's airband performance...yeah, I think of airband more with this song than the ones I performed in!
4) Bette Midler-From A Distance singing it in elementary school chorus and doing sign language with it
5) Vanilla Ice-Havin' A Roni Kevin Eisenacher brought the CD to music one week in 6th grade and played this song and I still remember it
6) B-52's-Love Shack baton, with Tracie Browning dancing in front of everyone
7) Will Smith-Summertime every summer from middle school through college...it's not summer until I hear it
8) Gin Blossoms-Til I Hear It From You the first weekend I saw Empire Records...and watched a total of 5 times in 2 days
9) Bon Jovi-Always the video with Keri Russell
10) Backstreet Boys-Show Me The Meaning of Lonely the girl at the concert who fast danced to this slow song
this was kinda like pulling teeth, cuz I know there are a ton of songs that trigger memories for me but this is what I thought of now. OK, bedtime
good music
So we went to Arlington last night to see Dean play at Iota. It was good times. It was a night of "Songwriters in the Round", meaning there were 5 of them on stage and they took turns playing. Leah Morgan set the whole thing up. We saw her play at Jammin Java in January with Dean and she was good. I think she was better last night. We also heard for the first time Kyler England and Eric Hutchinson (and someone else whose name escapes me...Anais?). Those two were really good. I bought CDs (2 of Kyler's, one EP of Eric's). Eric was quite witty. He had shirts for sale that said "Eric Hutchinson is really good". He said the "Eric Hutchinson Sucks" shirts sold out. He played with Tony in December but I didn't go. But I had checked out his website. Here, look at this page on his shirts--I like the top where it says "Like Abercrombie. only cool." He also stressed that his website was "eric dash hutchinson dot com or eric hyphen hutchinson dot com or eric line hutchinson dot com". He said erichutchinson.com was taken and the guys a jerk (LOL).
Jamie and I were chatting with Dean after the show (and Cari joined when she came back from the bathroom). He's so the best. We asked him about Saturday (when he plays in Chestertown) cuz Cari wants to go, even though we leave for New Orleans Sunday bright and early. Jamie asked him how the other people performing were and he "so-so"ed his hand low, as to not really say it out loud. And he told us not to go. He did say if we hadn't come last night he woulda kicked our asses (or words to that effect). Then, he said something about Eric's CD, so I told him I got it. He asked to see it and just then Eric was walking by so Dean said "Hey, she wants you to sign her CD". So Dean found a pen and brilliantly opened the CD and Cari told Eric to write "Marianne's my favorite girl" (from the Adam Richman song). He did end up writing "To Marianne You're my favorite girl" and sign it. HAHAHAHAHAHA Notice, he wrote "you're", which made me super happy he isn't some dumbass who writes "your" because they don't know which is right. So we chatted with him for a few minutes and then we left.
OK, Amy, did you notice I said I got a CD of a girl singer? Are you happy? I have been looking for a girl I like and she was really good (you can listen at her website). Let me know if you like her music and I can make you copies of both CDs. On her website you can see who she has shared the stage with and it includes Melissa Etheridge! Yay...ps, anyone have a Melissa CD? Like the one with "Come To My Window"??????
OK, it's time for me to shower and then head to Target with Jamie...lata peeps

arrrrrr, i'm a pirate
Cari and I were acting silly like crazy. First of all, when they announced the teams, they said Liberty's coach's name. We heard "Cari Greene" so Cari gets up and says "excuse me, but I have to go down and coach my team." We looked it up and it turns out the coachs name does sound the same, though it's spelled "Carey Green"...and he's a man. (10 points--who is Liberty University's chancellor? Oh, it's so irritating) All night, I kept getting frustrated and saying "arrr" and then I liked to add the "i'm a pirate" and it was funny. BUt, seriously, that line Cari said about coaching, I still laugh now thinking of her saying it.
So we went bowling today. IT was a lot of fun. I REALLY want to bowl myself now. The adults didn't bowl at all. The kids did much better than we even expected. It was great...cept I think I was so loud cuz of how it was there that I gave myself a headache. And that won't be good for Dean tonight. I better go nap...lata...

I have to go to work at 3 and get water. My boss called last night and asked me to. The other boss must not have gotten any this week, like I thought she would (she was sick on Tuesday...). I think we're probably almost totally out. I put out one bottle Monday and there was only one full one left. People are really starting to go through it. We used to be able to go 2 weeks before we had to refill 5 of the bottles (we have 6). Now, in a week, we go through 4. It's insane. And it's not even like it's that hot outside yet. Must mean we have more members and people are working out more. I guess that's a good thing.
I have a Jennifer Love Hewitt song in my mind today. I don't remember if it was one of the TWO of hers I listened to yesterday but I listened to quite a lot of music afterwards so it's not like that was the last song I heard. CRAZY.

They didn't play Dean and I am bitter.
I love how in the game hearts, the computer says "Select a card to play" but if you select anything other than 2 of clubs, it says "You must lead with the 2 of clubs". Hello, why not just say originally "play the 2 of clubs"?
Talk to me!

Speaking of St. Patty's Day, I wore my shirt for it today. I have NOTHING to do Thursday so I decided to wear it today. It's so cute (Old Navy). Too bad it's only for one day a year.
I was in the K/1 class today and they are so cute. I am in there tomorrow and Monday too. Monday, we are going on a field trip--BOWLING!! I am sooooo excited.
I'm really hungry.
This station that I am listening for Dean on is very strange. They say they have Dave Matthews and Green Day and they played Ben Folds but some of this music is just plain weird. I have to make myself continue to listen so I can (hopefully) hear Dean.
Sad Mitch is at MD tonight and we couldn't get tix. Jamie has an away message on IM now that has 2 Mitch quotes. I am so jealous.
On a brighter note, the Penn State women's bball team is playing their 1st and 2nd rounds of the NCAA tournament at...MARYLAND!!!!! How did we luck out? We didn't get to see them play at all this year, due to snow. It must have been fate. So, we got tickets yesterday. They were $40 for 6 games (4 first round games Sunday and 2 second round Tuesday). I am oh so excited.
Sad Mario is out of American Idol. He was totally my favorite. I hope everything is alright.
Well, that's all for now...is someone going to comment? We'll see...

Here is an article that the American Council on Exercise did about Curves. Basically, it says we are good for women who would otherwise be inactive. And, it mentioned what I already knew--that we are the fastest growing franchise in U.S. history.
Mom, Cari and I are going to Montgomery Mall tomorrow. Will be looking for stuff we need on our trip to New Orleans. 2 weeks!!! I think I only want a pair of shoes. Something with a heel and straps, or a strap. I have searched the internet and found nothing that appeals to me. I did see a pair in the Target ad for the week and may end up going there (they are only $13--I like the color I linked here, which was not in the ad, but they also come in white, black, red and pink). I do need shorts but no one seems to have any I like. We'll see. I did get a swimsuit (top--color as shown and bottom--color royal). I haven't been in a pool in 10 years so it's going to be a big feat. The suit seems ok so I may conquer my lack-of-pool days. I looked at our hotel's site today and at pictures of the pool. Seems some rooms overlook the pool, which I am not sure about. Hopefully, not too many people will be down there when we are.
I will also be able to wear the suit at Capon this year...I thought about going in their pool the last few years but I either didn't have a suit with me or no one wanted to go with me. Oh, how I can't wait for Capon.
Jamie couldn't get us tickets to see Mitch when he's at Maryland this week--they were sold out. I wanted to see him...plus I had a good excuse to not have to go to my Curves staff meeting (which I found out about after I asked Jamie to get tickets!)...now I have to go. Dammit...
Well, it's off to finish watching Minority Report, which is on ABC now. I've seen it but it is a pretty well-made movie, I think. All the city scenes, of cars on roads and stuff is cool...

this is where the party ends
so it seems, my friends, that I am now entering back into the daily job world. there will be no more daily blog comments or IM, for those that talk to me there. So, no tears, please.
Got a call this afternoon from the aide in the special ed 2/3 class (that I love so much). I have been expecting this call for months, but I didn't realize I would get no warning. Her doctor wants her on bed rest...well, not exactly bed rest, but she can't work or drive. I wanted this MONTHS ago (ok, for real, I wanted this when she was hired nearly 2 years ago). Maybe, now, with me long-terming in this position TWICE they could hire me next year...we'll see. Anyway, this just means I won't be around during the day. Or on Mondays and Fridays until 8 (since I work at Curves then). I will still blog so please, still comment.
I am off to Curves now, to workout with mom...and also tell my boss I will have to change my Friday hours to 3:30 instead of 2. Wish me luck...
found this at fark. So interesting, because I was flipping through the channels the other night and came across Elimidate. I hadn't watched in a while and within 5 minutes (ok, probably less), I could totally tell it was scripted. This one girl was attacking everyone else and saying shit that didn't even seem like a cut down. Why would the people behind that show want to be a part of that? Is the money that worth it? If I was behind some show like that, I would not want anyone to know...

since when am I very lady-like?
when I talked to Parsons, yesterday, I told her I wanted meat. I was really craving some meat--hamburger meat. She told me that wasn't a very lady-like thing to say. I said "don't you ever just crave meat?" and she said yes but she doesn't say it out loud.
also,

I found my Footloose soundtrack today, which is funny since I watched the movie yesterday. I just uploaded it to iTunes. I am now adding Smashing Pumpkins "Siamese Dream", which I think is my favorite of their CDs. I forgot I had it. I bought it used not that long ago, from, I think, amazon. I only have that one and "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness". Oh yeah, and the box set, which I bought when it came out because I loved the box so much. It's on display in my room on a shelf. I haven't listened to the CDs in it in years.

Everyone should also go read my myspace journal--I wrote there last night after my shitty night at work and I don't feel like typing again. I think you can get there by clicking my link on the right to my profile and then clicking on the blog entry called "stuff shmuff". I can't direct link it here cuz you have to be a member to view...
Look what I found about Amy M!
I am currently drinking sparkling apple cider in a pink plastic Penn State cup with a pink straw. I'm so classy.

- seen Crossroads more than 5 times, and enjoyed nearly every minute of it.
- had a car that was hit by a snow plow and whose tire was stolen
- not cried during Titanic but cried during lame commercials
- couldn't stop laughing in the movie theater when the "Inconsiderate Cell Phone Man" commercial came on, before anything was spoken
- had a cream cheese and olive sandwich (Cari doesn't count)
- given my phone number to a bully who my mom called the principal on (and she's still my best friend 13 years later)
- seen Hayley Mills in an art museum
- crocheted an iPod cover
- gotten Mike Bryan's autograph
- won a national title in baton
boy, was that hard.
i found a meme. let's give it a try.
Cari, but it's not all exciting stuff. and I only do it cuz then I won't have to remember to tell her stuff when she gets home.
Soup - So far, which year of your life has been the most enjoyable?
probably senior year of college--that wasn't a specific year, per se, but it was a school year!
Salad - Name someone with whom you have lost touch but would like to reunite.
Meek
Main Course - What was the tastiest meal you had this past week?
Wednesday breakfast I made a strawberry/peach smoothie and had a croissant sandwich
Dessert - Using the letters in your favorite color, write words that describe your personality.
crap, this is really hard...

bubble necklaces are still made? i remember when i had them in 6th grade. Kurfay got me started with them. Wow, haven't heard that name in years. Wonder what she's up to.
Isn't this adorable? I wouldn't ever buy it but...did you know target.com sorts some womens stuff by color? what do you think of this? I could use a new watch. I want these--0there is also pink and black. I wonder how the light eminates well from this.
Capris suck--why don't they have shorts? The only ones they have are bermudas--which I saw somewhere else. Are bermuda shorts in this season? Makes me think of Kelly Kapowski.

Madlibs, anyone?
1. Carolyn 101, that book dad gave me for Christmas
2. Princess, the neighbor's dog
3. Jane magazine
4. Beyonce's CD with my messed up CD player (ok, that's 2 but come on!)
5. Fabio
and I'd leave them there and go home.
What would you bring to a deserted island and leave there?
found here
Seriously, though, if I was on a desert island, I would want with me:
- my iPod
- a tent (in case it rains)
- a deck of cards
- my pillow
- sunblock
- Matt Morris (that was a tough call)
I couldn't narrow it down to 5. Oh well...
La la la la la la la
this is funny but listening to it would totally be INAPPROPRIATE AT WORK (unless you have earphones--the picture itself isn't inappropriate, just the words).
It's off to the dentist today for Cari and me. Cross your fingers! I quite enjoy going and sitting in the waiting room. Sharon, who is like the asst, is hilarious so I just like listening to her (and talking with her sometimes). I don't, however, like the person who cleans our teeth. I think last time we were there, she didn't talk much so maybe she will be like that again. She is the one that called this week to remind us of the appts and just hearing her voice on the answering machine, I cringed. Cari likes to listen to music when she is back there but I feel weird doing that. I think I tried it once and Lisa still tried to talk to me. Hello, you are cleaning my teeth! I can't respond to you very well. I miss the old days when Dr. Crowe would clean our teeth. He's so funny. Wow, I dread the day we finally have to find another dentist (Dad even still comes down to Dr. Crowe--who is in Bethesda. Mom has been going to him since before we were born).

Happy 43rd Birthday, Jon Bon Jovi!
Had a job today. In my favorite special ed class. Boy are those boys making progress! It's so exciting to see them reading, and for one, identifying letters.
I found all my pictures today. All pictures I have. This included pictures from 2 years ago of the kids. Boy have they gotten big! How cute they were...and still are.
OK, it's That 70's Show time.

Emma: Manny, you're not even wearing pants.
I found online some old "Ask Laura"s. At first I could only find ones from after I graduated. Then, I just clicked on something and it took me to the exact one I want to view:
Dear Laura,
There is this girl who hangs out with my friends and me, and to put it bluntly...we can't stand her. Our reasoning for this isn't unfounded, but I'd rather not get into it. Anyway, she always invites herself wherever we go and butts in when we're doing something together. None of us have the guts to say anything to her, but we're all seething inside and waiting for her to get the hint. What should we do before there's a blowout?
~ Irritated and Annoyed
Dear Irritated,
This girl you speak of seems to have what I would call the "Pesky Kid-Brother Syndrome." Situations like the one you're experiencing are undoubtedly difficult to handle, especially if you guys don't like confrontations. Still, I'm going to have to say that you should have the gutsiest one in your group let this girl know that you're not her best friends. Even though it would really cause some awkwardness, I'm sure the"'blowout" that you seem to think is coming would be multitudes worse. After all, what do you have to lose if you don't like her in the first place?
Anyone remember the name of the above mentioned's boyfriend from back then? I was talking to Tiffany about it (when he came and confronted her in the hallway) and we can't remember his name.
Last night, I put all the pics in the book where I wanted them without sticking them down. I started taping them today (double stick tape is my friend!) and the book is looking so good. I managed to fit 6 pictures of people in shopping carts on one page! Of course, I cut the excess of the pictures off. Now I have another page with nothing...yet. Maybe Safe Sex Buckethead can go there. We'll see.
Happy March
School was finally in session today after a 5 day weekend. I don't have a job, however. I am taking Jodi to the dentist in about a half hour, though. I wonder how long it will be. I am taking my iPod and a book, How to Meet Cute Boys (it is a novel, not a how to guide!). I was looking at all my books I bought this weekend and it's funny that 4 of them have pink and green on the covers. I love pink and green together and everytime I see it, I point it out to Cari (who isn't big on the combo). I didn't even notice when I bought the books. Maybe I was drawn to them subconciously because of the colors. LOL
Talked to Tiffany online last night for an hour and a half! She's so fab. I miss her. We came up with a few more things for my book (I also emailed Parsons yesterday and asked if she could make me a Safe Sex Buckethead for it). I found so much "lost" college stuff in a box yesterday, including my dink and sophomore patch. I wish there was a way I could put this one paper in my book. Maybe it would fit across the inside cover and first page. I found the abstinence contract all of Leroy Hecta Jackson III, Esq.'s whores signed. I don't want to leave that in a box somewhere. I also found a certificate for being a Hood employee of the month. I totally don't remember that but yay!
In my looking through pictures for ones to add, I found 4 of my bulletin boards from sophomore year being 3rd floor rep. Man, did I rock the bulletin boards. No one in all my years there had as great of bulletin boards as me. And no one changed them monthly like I did. Not to brag or anything. And I totally forgot we had a "Megan's Quote Boat" on the bulletin board. Oh how I was prejudice towards her (well, besides Amy, who else on my floor was cool?)
OK, it's off to get dressed and eat a little something before I have to leave. Lata, gatas.
