I miss Dawson's Creek. And you know how I came to this conclusion? It wasn't because the former Love of My Life (LML) and I used to watch it on Friday nights after we came home from the bars. And because the only reason I couldn't watch it on Wednesdays was because LML wouldn't watch it at his place because his friends made fun of him. Even after we broke up, this was our ritual. An awkward ritual, considering I would still lay on his lap on the couch and he'd still run his fingers through my hair while we watched the show. But nonetheless and I digress.
I miss it because I watched Fringe last night. And I realized I'm still in love with Joshua Jackson. I loved Pacey. I had a crush on Charlie in Mighty Ducks I, II, and III. I want to be from Canada just so I can say "Hey Joshua I'm Canadian too, so maybe we should date and maybe get married." I also have secretly watched every movie (good or bad) he's been in. I haven't watched his newest one though. The horror movie one. I'll watch it soon though. I'll make Dean watch it with me. I still haven't paid him back for making me watch Belly. It was a horrible movie and had bad acting, but it had a great soundtrack!
But Fringe is awesome if you haven't watched it. I love JJ Abrams. Well I loved him for Alias--I couldn't get into Lost. I liked the X-Files every now and then. (Okay so I watched it for David Duchovny* who now has a sex addiction.) But anyway, it's awesome and you should watch it.
Also Congrats to D$ and her engagement! YEAH! And you better call me with details. :)
*When I just spell checked this, an alternative to Duchovny was Douching. I just thought that was HILARIOUS considering what's been going on with him!!!!

Adventures in Travelling.. .
Things you should avoid doing: Running through the airport in your new shoes.
Why would someone do that?? Oh because you had to sit on the runway with the plane off for 40 minutes BEFORE you could taxi to your gate and then had to literally sprint with all your luggage from B1 to B42. And barely made the flight. AWESOME. They were waiting for you though because they knew you and 5 other people had to make that connection. Now I have to wear big band aids on the back of my heel for the rest of the week. They are adorable shoes though. Even with the blood stain slightly on the back.
I'm in Miami this week for work. And it's HOT. And Humid. It gets pretty humid here in the summers, but nothing compares to this humidity. That is why I am never moving to Miami. I was sweating just walking the 4 blocks to the train. And my hair is now all wavy and poofy. It was sleek and straight before I left. Glad I took the time to do my hair this morning.
Last night I ventured out alone to eat at the Brewery next to my hotel. I know. I NEVER go out to eat by myself, but I was basically forced to since I was all alone. My goal was to just sit at the bar and eat and maybe some cute guy would come up and talk to me. Well when getting to the bar, there are only old men. And old men for some reason love me and they usually turn out to be creepy, dirty old men, so I am freaking out on where to sit. Then I see this girl sitting by herself and since there was no place to sit without sitting next to someone, I sit next to her. She happens to be from St. Paul, MN, and is there for work as well. What are the odds?!?
And yes, there was a creepy guy that kept looking at me that was sitting a chair away from me. I was lucky to have a normal person! Too bad the creepy guy couldn't have bought my meal! :)
I am still in the process of writing the post from the roadtrip. . . it will get done. . . sometime. . .

I knew it!!!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26205250/
Sorry no time for update yet, but I came across this article! HILARIOUS! I'm glad it's true and almost hate to admit that perhaps I've been victim to it. . . :)

14+ hours later. . .
And Brophy and I are still friends. . .
I'll write about our adventures once I get a chance! :)

I'm confused. . .
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26551009/
Basically (in case you don't want to read the article) it's saying how Ashton Kutcher's ex-girlfriend was murdered and they think they have the guy in custody that supposedly killed her.
Now the thing that has me thinking is the whole ex-girlfriend. See, I guess I'm perplexed at what makes a girlfriend. It says that this woman was killed in her apartment. And the night she was killed, Ashton was supposed to pick her up for an awards thing. He went to the door, she didn't answer, and he then walked around back and saw what he thought were wine stains on the floor and left. He was not the one that discovered her dead though. It was another friend of hers that did.
Now, I would hope if they were actually dating that my boyfriend knowing that we had a date especially for something say an awards show, would take more time in trying to locate me. I mean, if we had plans, I would hope that he would be the one to find me dead. He should know me well enough to know I'm not going to flake on something important to him. Now as a friend, it would make total sense in say thinking that maybe I forgot and then didn't call and let you know or something. And you would just go around the back and be like "Oh well!" That's a little bit more forgivable. However if you're my friend and you're supposed to go to something important with me and skip out. . . I would be pissed!! Perhaps I am the type though that if my friend said they are going to go to something with me and I go to pick them up and they aren't there, I would be calling them or calling a roommate or another common friend and be like WTF?? Because I wouldn't be taking just any friend to an awards show. I'd be taking either a boyfriend or a good guy friend that I know would be a blast. I just find it all around weird. But perhaps this is before everyone and their grandma had a cell phone so Ashton had no way of getting a hold of her. It was in 2000. I guess I'm quasi disappointed in the lack of effort Ashton had in finding the girl. Because if it were me, I'd be at the girlfriend/friend's house after the awards show and be like "Thanks for ditching me!" I also talk a big game, but I am completely a non-confrontational person and probably wouldn't do that, but I might tape a post-it note to his/her door.
I don't know if they are just trying to generate some media coverage for the killer by saying Ashton Kutcher's ex-girlfriend. Who apparently also killed several other women. I think he should be locked up for life. However, I also feel that if they are putting this in the media like they are, that it will be tough to find a jury that won't be partial. Which then irritates me because his victims might not get the justice they deserve if he was in fact the killer.
That is my Friday rant. . . Have a good weekend!!!!

Were you DYING in anticipation???
Things have been hectic here in A-Land.
I have work and my gramps had surgery on Tuesday. He's fine which is good. But I went and saw him in the afternoons and also Wednesday morning and this morning. He's being discharged this afternoon (well that's what they told me this morning) so that's good!
This weekend I'll be in IL visiting the family briefly and then am going to the Cardinals game! WAHOO! YEAH Busch Stadium! And really the only reason I am going to the game is because Brophy asked me to because it's Albert Pujols Bobblehead day. This is the only reason he wanted to go. I wanted to go because I hadn't been to the new Busch Stadium. His girlfriend was giving me a hard time about stealing him away this weekend, but we worked out a deal that she would pick up guys for me this weekend, and I would hang out with her boyfriend. haha!! And technically I didn't steal him away. We made these plans before he had even met her, let alone started dating her. And I jokingly told her as such. Have I mentioned how awesome his girlfriend is?!? Technically I've only met the girls Brophy has gone on like one date with, but I think this one is definitely a keeper!
Tonight is my first night of Kickball. And in case you were wondering, yes I am 12. :) And our team name is The 5th Grade Bullies. I thought it was appropriate. We're still trying to decide on shirts. I was thinking of the picture of the kid who played the one O'Doyle kid in Billy Madison. Remember "O'Doyle Rules!"
Oooh you might possibly be wondering how my Tuesday night went. It went well. Wine Rep actually showed up. We lost 2 games but won 1. :( We were in the SUN though for the 2 we lost. I got hit in the face (not hard) with the ball because I lost it in the sun. Nice. Wine Rep left right after the game, and when I asked why, he said it was because he needed to eat before his other volleyball game at 8:30. Not sure if I believe that considering the place we play at has awesome food and a full menu of more than just "bar" food. I'm thinking it might have a little more to do with Dean being there, but whatever. Not worth wasting my time thinking about his weirdness. Also, he hasn't called me all week. Oh well!
Anyway. . . so later Dean and I went and grabbed some food at another favorite bar place of ours. And while we're talking he says "so. . . this is going to sound weird, but Wine Rep is really good looking." And then high fives me and says "Good Job!" I cannot make this up people. The awkwardness that I felt at this moment is beyond words. Even my friend Sarah who feels Wine Rep is beyond HOT didn't even high five me after she met him. Dean then went on to say that I know he's not into guys and I said "well I've had my suspicions at times." And then he proceeded to tell me about his male whoreness over the weekend. We split soup and when he asked why I got two spoons I said, "I don't know where your mouth has been and really don't want to take any chances." Yes, I'm nice like that and I went there. I did try to ear muff him out but he wouldn't have any of it. Lovely. I'm glad that we're back to being friends and all, but seriously!! TMI. T. M. I.
I'll let you know how my weekend is. . . I'm sure it will be great! We're staying with one of my good college friends in St Louis--whose husband just so happens to be the brew meister for this little company called Anheiser Busch. Not sure if you've heard of them. I'll let you know how it is! :)

Did you chuckle too???
I don't usually talk politics in my blog. Maybe because for the most part, I don't like to talk politics because some people take it to the extreme and are super touchy about it. These are the same people you don't talk religion to. I will say that I do lean more towards the liberal side, and I do tend to vote with the Donkey. However, I will admit--I did not vote for John Kerry. Do not judge me. Had another Democratic hopeful won the candidacy, I would have voted for them in a heart beat. But not John Kerry. He got botox before a debate so he looked better on TV. This is wrong in my eyes. And I have an issue with partial birth abortions. My cousin was born at 25 weeks. I do believe it is a woman's right to choose, but I cannot accept partial birth abortions at this time. However, in the long scheme of things, abortion is a small matter in comparison to the larger things happening in this country.
Enough about politics. . . but the reason I even brought it up is because I love Jon Stewart and thought this was very interesting.
