so, just got back from seeing the new Indiana Jones movie, and let me tell you, harrison has STILL got it. (as if there was ever any doubt...shame on you who did!) he is as suave and charming as ever and better call me if things ever go south with calista.
the movie turned out to not be what i was expecting exactly, but i guess when you think about it it did follow basically the same pattern as the rest by having some other-worldy part play into it, and let me tell you, in this one, that is ESPECIALLY true. but i won't ruin anything for you. that's all i'm gonna say!
following in my dearly beloved harrison's footsteps, literally, is shia labeouf, who i might love just as much as harrison. he was also just as amazing and i will probably end up re-watching disturbia and transformers later just so i can have a little more shia in my life. expect big things from him, people! he's on his way to being the next harrison, though there, of course, could never be another <3.
in summation: harrison is still hot and kicking, shia is wonderful, and you need to go see the movie. (as if you weren't planning on it in the first place!) p.s. i know sara is going to incredibly agree with me on all of this. we're good like that. just ask about her tattoo :-p

karma is a-- well, you know.
as you may recall... a while back i had posted about how sucky and horrible the weather had been being in wilmington, that i later posted had done a complete 180º as it tends to and was suddenly absolutely gorgeous out. well, even though i did in some way take back what i had said in the first post with the second, i still think the damage was done...i had pissed off the weather gods.
in return, jersey has been nothing but cold, rainy, and dreary since i got here, after leaving the beautiful and warm climate of wilmington. how is this possible?! it is may! MAY! it's supposed to be spring in full bloom on its way to summer. it's about to be memorial day weekend for heaven's sake! and instead it is barely 60º in the "sun" and gets even colder at night.. we've had to have the heat going! absolutely ridiculous!
this has been bothering so because i'm worried it's starting to affect my mood...putting me in a constant state of doldrums and boredom as i have no desire to do anything in this terribleness. i think this is a legitimate something as i recall hearing about people in places like seattle or london where it rains more often than not. how depressing! it's supposed to be nicer for the rest of the week into the weekend, so we'll see how it goes. i've stopped listening to the meteorologists. i've decided they don't ever actually know what they're talking about.
so, just wanted to warn all of you not to make a similar mistake and complain about how crappy the weather might be because mother nature will take offense and start acting just like a-- well, you know.
after all, it can't rain forever. *starts singing* the sun'll come out tomorrow! (i hope)

the garden state's finest... except not really
http://m3.bestpicever.com/piles/?s=crazyjersey
these people give jersey a bad name. (insert, bon jovi's "you give love a bad name" subbing in jersey for love, here)
i swear less than 5% of the population is like this. please don't judge us based on these faux-tan, guido, over-gelled, gotti wannabes.
it's a serious problem that i promise we are handling. (insert, "don't call us, we'll hit you" mafia ad, here)

sara may be smarter than all of us
i sat around for a reasonable amount of time last night without any pants on.
idk what it was about last night, but when i got back from seeing iron man with cait and melinda (AMAZING, btw, everyone go see it!) and after we had sat for an hour and a half in cait's car in my driveway talking about why boys are stupid, girls are stupid, and how just people in general are stupid, all i wanted to do was get into my room and take my pants off.
now, i was wearing jeans, so for any of you know who know me know that that's kind of a big deal, so it may have been that. but i think even if i had been wearing my usual casual, comfy pants, those would have just has quickly been stripped.
i never understood what sara meant when she spoke of the freedom of running around in your underwear, because certainly any body image issues and insecurities would restrict the joys of said supposed freedom, but i certainly took pleasure in spending 10 minutes standing in front of the tv in the living room trying to set up the VCR at 12am with the overhead light on, blinds up, and neighbor's similarly uncovered windows a few feet away.
as i'm always one to opt for comfort over appearance, after discovering just how much i in fact like running around with no pants on, i might opt to do so more often! sara and i always say we seem to be rubbing off on each other in various and interesting ways, so as far as this goes... well done, sara!
and to whomever may have stolen my pants... well, i say you can just go on ahead and keep them!
note: this post was especially in green :-)

two birds with one stone!
remember those things i wanted to accomplish this summer? two of things were 1. find a job so that i could afford to 2. see the ridiculously large number of movies i wanted to from now until august. well, my friends, it seems i have found an amazingly simple solution to this problem... working at the movie theater.
now, some of you may know that i actually ventured down this road way back in the winter of 2005, almost did the summer of '06, thought about it the summer of '07, and here i am once again, in the summer of '08, and it looks like it's ripping tickets and selling popcorn for me, again!
granted, the only legitimate time i worked there in said winter of '05, i did end up quitting hardly a month later, but that was during senior year of hs and things were crazy and the hours and frequency of those hours was certainly more than i could handle with a full schedule that included AP history with crazy Savage.
now, in the summer, when i desperately need the money to pay off what seems like my never-ending credit card bill and get to see all those damned movies that are calling my name to sit in the theater and spend 90-120 minutes of life watching, it will certainly be enough for me to handle. plus, i have nearly 2 years of crazy aramark concessions under my belt, along with 6 months of waitressing, and ask any waitress and she'll tell you that once you've done that, you can pretty much do anything!
oh, i might have mentioned that the getting to see all those movies part was not me sneaking away when i was supposed to be sweeping to catch various parts of various ones, but that as an employee i am allowed two free passes a week for either me and a friend or myself twice. and i love my friends, but with the record number of movies i plan on attending in such a short amount of time, it might be more often than not that both those passes are getting used on numero uno here. sorry, guys. i still love you, though!
so, i foresee this all as a good thing that's going to work out. of course, i say that now, but there is always the possibility that in no time flat i'll be coming back here to rant about rude customers, ridiculous hours, and lazy co-workers (or maybe cute ones!), but let's hope not! (except the cute co-worker part :-P )
p.s. sara is gone, and it is so lonely without her! let's hope i'm doing filling in this gap without her justice!

a week without sundrop
All right. I'm leaving super early tomorrow morning and I'm going to Virginia. High up in the mountains where there is no cell phone reception or internet access. Participating in weird Christian rituals like singing with your hands in the air and praying out loud with the words Father God replacing all commas. Just kidding, it's kind of like a big Christian conference and I'm really excited about going.
That said, this is it. This is the week that, in one respect, I've been dreading for several months. It's kind of the precursor for Colombia. I'll be going this week without Sundrop. Not sure how it's going to go. BUT I'm drinking lots extra tonight to make up for it. Evidenced:
Here's my Johnny Depp's cheekbone's impression. It's also my karate/ninja impression.
And this is what I'll look like as the caffeine leaves my system sometime around Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. With headaches ensuing.
Until then, it's all yours Nicole. <3!!
cheers.

I'm sort of bouncing off the walls right now. And the only thing scarier than that face of mine is how dirty my mirror is. I swear it's from brushing my wet hair. Not from, like, sneezing or anything.
