There's not a whole lot I enjoy more than watching movies and analyzing them.
Leviathan
From my birth year so lets see how it stacks up. Hopefully, it does some justice. (I got a hangnail and it hurts pretty horribly). Oo it's all futuristic like we can actually have people sitting at the bottom of the ocean just because they have bitchin' suits. Day 87 of 90...it's always the 11th hour. at that depth they would have much smaller viewing holes on their masks or they'd all get. OO is he gonna die? stuffs fucking all up...ooo his heads gonna blow! aw...survival of the lamest. He is gonna have some serious brain trauma though with that kind of air loss. Hey that's the guy from home alone and he is still a dick. I love sci-fi. I think the doctor has gone crazy. Cabin fever or some shit. They are miles down and he is talking about being on the golf course. what? I hope the monster is a squid or something better like a mega-jelly. I hoe they don't slack. That'll bite them in the ass. Haha oh damn he's using gum to fix shit. That's bad.
oh here it comes...fell off the south ridge. now those are some big fake tube worms. I bet they are gonna lose her. or both of them. at least one of them. There's the soviet ship. There is no way there would be any sunlight down there. ah leviathan is the name of the ship. Since she found it first they are gonna lose her. no doubt about it (she actually survives-post movie Mav). oh wow what an ole computer system haha. why would he just go wondering off like a dumbass? That would be so cool to find a sunken ship. I like how the doctor is all into it now. He's had his mind tweeked. I would love to be there with that doctor trying to figure shit out. It's sad to me that a geologist would find no interest in figuring out where this ship came from....oo i bet they are gonna fuck....oh yea there is the cheesy sweet love music. (i'm such a damn clutts...I just spilled root beer all over myself) genetic alteration. OOOO ZOMBIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA!! ew fish mutant zombies. well its so bad that i can't stop watching. It has a dead space feel to it and with the mutated people and stuff...but this thing is much slower than the fast little bitches on dead space. oh thats somewhat ingenious. lets all float to the top. oh he sacrificed himself. it's like a weird fish guy.. aw its so stupid it got its head chopped off. the irony of having a fish as a pet at the bottom of the ocean....oh there isnt a hurricane at all.. congratulations you made it to the surface but now you are in the middle of the damn ocean. I hope it gets them from below OR that the helicopter people just kill them.... hahahaha it came to the surface and got them. ooo its trying to drown him. Well that was hilariously cheesy and gross. I think it's funny when movies from the eighties are being "futuristic" and its set in 2001 or 2006 and its completely unlike anything that we have. It's like something that would be decades if not hundreds of years in the future.
The Thing
This one promises a better movie being that it is newer. Oh haha, this is actually from 1982! so we will just see. I hope its as classically cheesy as it should be. The 80s were great for sci fi. It was like the hot fad.
What am I gonna make for dinner?
wolves are beautiful creatures.
Man, what a young Kurt Russell. handsome. I want a pretty husky dog. I will have one too. one day. and there is a stereotypical black guy. There is something to do with this dog that causes some sort of chaos. And such a cute puppy too. maybe the dog turns into a dude at night. or maybe its a genetically mutated dog that is smart. like Ein on Cowboy Bebop. It's amazing how the film quality improved over 10 years from the 70's to the eighties. It's almost like today when things aren't in (what's it called....) CG. I bet the dog was found in the ice. hm interesting. They are gonna get back and find all their buddies gone mad. NO they brought the weird "thing" back to the shop with them and it had been burned. I feel like its gonna be almost just like the movie I just watched but a little more cabin fever-y. The body thing doesnt even look real. Man, Kurt Russell is dreamy. His eyes are wild and he's got this shaggy hair in this movie. Mm, hunky! And he is kind of stoic in this movie and that gets me every time. YEA! Light that blunt! That's where it's at. That's the job I need. Aw I wouldn't want to let it just sit out with the other dogs. It knows. It's not a stupid dog. It gets it and it's worried. oh what the fuck! the dog is the thing. I knew it!! I wish all the other puppies didnt have to die because of it. Damn it man! walk faster!!!! NO! don't go in.
oh good.
I can't imagine how fucked up that would be if you were stoned. To find a mutated spider dog thing. Sickening. I'd probably puke. Oh he got the dog loving dude. It already transmuted into him. They gotta kill him. It copies their genetic makeup perfectly. No one can be trusted. It can infiltrate our world without us knowing unless we catch it happening. Like with all those dogs making noise. Oh it's a space ship. Nifty. Now that's sci fi folks! All in all this is already a much better movie than leviathan which was more so just disappointing and anti-climactic. Ok scientists there is a fine line between research and common sense (I don't know if those actually go together). They SHOULD just burn it!
That's really fake looking blood and a really hide looking character. Thats a creepy alien man. Props to the people who did this movie. What a disgusting life form. To have to go through that process. uck. THat can't be pleasant at all......y'all missed one!
Haha just took an hour break to talk to my bestie :)
OO it's good because everyone trusts MacCready but he may be the one who is actually the thing. This movie is actually very good and I think I'm going to give it my Movie of the Week! There is no telling who is the thing. Maybe it's all of them, but they don't know that they all are. I think people don't even know if they are or not. So they are trying to escape earth. Oh damn, that's fucked up.
Why does everyone go places alone? Hm, it's trying so hard but it just can't quite get it.
And then there was one.
What's next? I'd let you vote, but it's a blog, not a radio show.
I'm going for The Andromeda Strain
Fresh from 1971. Win. Diggin older sci fi movies. Those are the fucking best!
This is so weird. They aren't showing anything. Based on all the ufo scares from then. I bet this would have been super intense in its day. (The washer is making really strange noise. I heard a loud bang and a sudden clang. It's creepy). Man typewriters are trippy. They are freaking out on speed or some shit. Oh the 70s haha. What a fancy house for it. "I'll be safe as in your arms." Good line, very good. OO creepy big brother shit. This is why everyone was all superstitious and conspiracy theorists. The government just tapping into our phones and shit.
aw i had to put a bandaid on my pinky cause of that hang nail and now its weird to type. OH! titties! haha
this movie is so awesomely old school
So I'm tired. I'm going to play some LPB with my brothers.
Goodnight

Frog magnets and ergoBeads
I
love my coffee mug. I got it for
work. It’s red and blue (Hotty Toddy)
buts it’s got a small orange stripe and green stripe in the middle. There is another small green stripe at the
top. It holds my coffee. It was one dollar at the dollar tree. Win.
I
got a little solar monkey that dances in the sun. He dances a little in my desk light but in
the afternoon when the sun hits him (which it won’t today because it’s so
gloomy and rainy) he starts to dance; which is perfect because it’s like he is getting
excited about the end of the workday. He’s
so cute. He’s holding a banana in one
hand and making a peace sign with the other.
I
don’t know why I thought that once you got out of school there stopped being fire
alarms. It’s raining here and I just had
to walk down six floors and stand in it for ten minutes. Which compared to previous fire alarm
experience isn’t too bad. Once when I
was a freshman in college I had to stand outside in a towel for 45 minutes
because it was just after track practice and I was getting into the shower when
the alarm went off. Another time, I had
to cross behind out building and stand in the car garage because it was pouring
rain at 2:30 in the morning. That time
it took about an hour. I was a freshman
at Samford and they were very slow with their fire department and alarms. It was annoying, but I transferred after that
year so whatever. But I guess I just,
for some reason, thought it was a school thing.
A way for our superintendent to torture us or the foolish act of some
drunken frat boy with his idiot fratastic friends egging him on.
I
want to do some more sociology and psychology classes. I find people fascinating. They are so weird and different. I can’t wait to teach. I’m gonna take them outside and I think it
can be fun and I can make learning interesting.
Note time!
I
work with this girl or she is on my floor and we share a break room and she
will just talk to me which is whatever.
The problem is she mumbles horribly and then kind of trails off and
turns and walks away chuckling uncomfortably and I have no idea what she
said. She never waits for a response so
I just don’t say much of anything. But if
I did say something it was just be, “yeah, ha…” and it would be awkward because
she is awkward.
Work
is so lame. There is nothing for me to
do.
I
started volunteering at the animal shelter this weekend. It was pretty great. I was mainly just getting back into the swing
of everything. It’s pretty chill right
now though not being baby bird season. Saturday
was good I did kind of a normal, usual thing:
fed some birds, cleaned some pins.
But Sunday I got to feed the hawks and owls and I got to do the ducks
and geese by myself which was fun. The
ducks will let you pet them and they get really close and peck at the shiny
buttons on my pants. The goose
(Canadian) was a little twat jerk when I did him on Saturday with Daphne. When I did him by myself on Sunday though I
just sprayed him with the water hose and he quit honking and wouldn’t come at
me. I think he calmed down tremendously
and I was able to clean his pin, feed and water him all by myself using the
hose and a towel over my arm as a buffer.
Mainly I washed lots of dishes though.
It will be better in the summer, as in I’ll have more to do and with the
new volunteers I won’t have to do all the nasty crap like laundry and dishes
(WIN). Sunday I went to refill the bird
feeders and I slipped on a wet tree root and totally busted my ass. I scraped my arm all up and spilled mealworms
and bird seed all over me and down my shirt.
It was embarrassing but luckily no one was out there to see it
happen. I have so many bumps and
bruises. First the scrapes from falling
on the root and then (working backwards) I was at the apt with my darling
boyfriend and we were going to grill some porkchops that I decided, spur of the
moment, to get at the store. So he is
cleaning up the dishes and asks me to drag it outside. It’s one of those cheap ones you pour the
charcoal into. It’s a bigger one though
and my right foot trips on one of our computer cords and the grills runs up on
my leg and it gets kind of wedged on my calf and I have to pick the whole damn
thing up to get it off and the next morning I had a huge ass bruise. It’s all black and blue. Two days later and it’s still gnarly
looking. Then on Friday we were at my
brothers house playing LBP (carting and 2) (LOVE LBP!) and we were trying to
get these bubbles in this one level and you have to grapple and swing on these
moving things. It’s a fucking nightmare
and I am doing really good at the swinging and I get one really amazing swing
in and I ALMOST get the very top bubble (the only one left, I had swung my
boyfriend out to get two others, anyway) and I didn’t get it so I was like MAN
and I kind of put my fist down on the arm of the couch in an, “Oh shoot,” sort
of way and I didn’t realize that the arm of the cough was like solid wood and I
caught my wrist right in the crease and it hurt so bad. It didn’t bruise as much at first, but now it’s
turning a sickly yellow color. It’s
still super sore. I also spilled coffee
all down the front of me yesterday…way to go Mav.
On
a grislier note, my roommate is moving out.
Not my boyfriend, but the other guy who pisses me off because he does no
cleaning at all and always brings his bitchy girlfriend over who won’t even
look at us and when she is around he is meaner.
I want to just have the apt to ourselves, just me and my baby and Arda,
but my boyfriend insists on getting a roommate.
Yes the cheaper rent will be nicer but I just do not want a
roommate. I don’t know how some other
person is going to be. What if they are
all up in my business and didn’t let me have my me time? I’d go ape and they’d end up leaving. I can barely stand the one we got now. I told my boyfriend we should have
interviews. He laughed but I was
serious.
Seriously,
Mav

This is my title.
So movie of the week is for shizzle The Grey. It's got Liam Neeson. You need to make sure you give it a chance. It can be frustrating at times given the high mortality rate, but it has some very redeeming moments that really bring it full circle and make it worthwhile. I love the wolf psychology that is uncovered and delved into. Wolves are one of the most interesting, complicated and beautiful creatures I think. It did raise a few questions however. I want to write into mythbusters and get them to do the part where he puts a shotgun shell on the end of a sharpened stick and when you jab it into something it hurts and or kills the wolf. Maybe they have already done it. I don't have cable so I can't get all the new sodes (as in episodes, but of course I could have just said that instead of going this round about route). Haha the epidsode I'm watching they are doing the helium balloons to a lawn chair flight thing. And they all look like a bunch of testicles strung together.
I got some new crafty things! Some new ink wells in purple and teal. I look forward to using that. I also finally got a cheap 12 pack of watercolor pencils. I really like using colored pencils when I draw and I can't wait to try them. Finally, I got a hook and latch thing that's a happy face and a rainbow. I like those because they are really time consuming and they keep my mind busy. I also got a little glass votive to make a candle holder.
I don't have a huge amount of stuff to say. I think I may have gotten some sort of promotion at work but its not fully been discussed and I don't think it's like an unsaid just internal label thing. My boss said that something about me being the senior Q or something or other. And that the new girl is kind of usurping my role and I'm moving up in the world I suppose. (I'm a little off put by my fat roommate sitting naked in his room right now.)
Aw I want some baby ducks! I love ducks. I'm volunteering at the Wildlife Center and I get to feed all the baby birds. We have some ducks right now. That's where this was going. I look forward to this coming spring/summer when all the baby birds really start coming in full force. It will be so wonderful!

Pissed Away Fifty Dollars These Past Ten Days
I am completely utilizing my new planner. I love it!! My brother got it for me for Christmas. It works best when I use bright colors to mark things. I have about ten different color highlighters that I use. I love to pour over it and make it pretty and write down everything that I do. It's satisfying when I find that I marked off everything to do that day. I keep stickers paper-clipped on the back cover to put on those days to reward myself. Yesterday, I gave myself a little penguin because I completed everything I had down to do. I am over halfway done with everything I meant to do today, since I am blogging at this very moment....!!!!
INTENSITY!
It's been pretty slow at work. Everyone is at the big Steering Committee Meeting this week. The only people here are Kevin, Kathy, and myself. Stan might be here too, I can't tell. He is so quiet. I got a new cubicle and I have a nice window now. It's a "reduced" size cubicle, but I love it even more than the full size one I used to have. Probably because it is all mine. I brought my wall clock today and hung it up and brought my ninja bunny cord wraps. I have a black and a pink one. They are so darn cute. I don't even want to use my headphones so I can just have them hanging there looking adorable. It's nice that there is no one here. I am pretty much left in peace to do my work (or not do my work [for shame]), because the other people who are here are on the other side of the whole office and never have any reason to come over to me at all. So I'm getting a little spoiled this week. Next week it'll be back to work as usual I suppose. *sigh*
I've been thinking that I really want to get a fish for my office. I want a Betta (more properly known as the Siamese Fighting Fish) since they are solitary. I have been researching tanks that would work, because I want something that isn't going to make hardly any noise of course. It's debatable though as to whether I can even have one. I'll have to ask my bossy boss when everyone gets back next week. But I found this one tank and in the video it seemed to be really quiet and some of the reviews talked about how it was quiet. One woman even had it in her office. So it may be a possibility yet!
I'd also like to have a plant, but I am going to way for that until spring so I can get a nice pretty, healthy one. I've been looking at Feng shui to try and get that in my office, because I am big on comfort and want to feel at peace and sort of a home away from home at my office space. Let's face it, I spend nearly as much time here as at my actual home so I want to love it; if only a little.
My brother (I have two and this is the other from the one previously mentioned) has asked me to create him a drawing. I don't know if any of you follow me on Instagram (TympanicPulse) but I've been in a more geometric mood lately. My brother loves that sort of thing and wants me to do one so as soon as I get done with it (probably by the next time I blog) I will be sure to upload it on here along with its predecessors. Maybe I'll even put one in my cube! It's good to have artwork around, even more so if you did it yourself and are really proud of it (helps if it's good too then you will get lots of compliments to make your head swell, whoop whoop!). I think I will definitely do that. I'll have to write down to get wire hangers at Walmart this weekend (TO THE PLANNER!!).
So I've been sick for about the last 3 1/2 weeks. It's had varying degrees of miserableness, but mostly it's sucked. This week I've got the coughs and its horrible because I can't take any real medicine (if you don't know why, read previous post). Last night though when my boyfriend took me on a date (we went to P F Chang's. It was soooo good! I got the mandarine chicken and a small side of Sichuan green beans and mixed it and tons of spicy, sweet, tangy sauces and got to eat the rest of it for lunch!) and we were in the movie after dinner (we saw Taken 2, it was good but I'll be honest I wasn't raving afterwards or anything like after The Dark Knight Rises) I was coughing some and a couple times I coughed and got this sharp pain in my right side. It was only for a moment and then subsided, but it concerned me. It happened again when we were back at the apartment watching tv in bed and I coughed. And it happened once more today at lunch when I leaned forward to pet my most beautiful friend, Arda, but that time I wasn't coughing. Those are the only four times, but I think I should maybe so see the doctor because I would hate to have an irritated appendix or something and not do anything about it and it get worse. In fact I am going to call right now...
And at 8:30 in the morning I will be finding out just what is wrong with me. Hopefully nothing. They want me to fast in case I have to take any tests O_O I made it super bright and important in my journal. Let's pray there is no emergency surgery involved. If there is thought lets pray it goes well haha.
So my song of the day today I actually had as my song of the day on Facebook one day last week. It just rocks my socks off. Have a listen to I Miss the Misery by Halestorm. I heard this song on the radio and immediately fell in love with it.
Also the movie of the week is Les Misérables. This movie is phenomenal. Everyone should see it. Be aware that it is an operetta (which means they sing nearly the whole time, less than 100 words normally spoken). You get used to it, and the singing is wonderful, but it is something to be aware. It's not exactly the easiest movie to watch but it is so worth it. I loved it. I laughed and cried. All the actors did a wonderful. Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman go above and beyond. Really it's a must see on the big screen.
Believe it or not, I actually got some work done while typing on this.
Unbelievably,
Mav

I think I just heard a gunshot....
I have stretch marks!! How did this get past me? It's not like I'm fat or anything or pregnant or even really grossly, body builder muscular. I mean I have gained weight since high school, sure, but who the fuck hasn't? For the record, in high school I was too skinny really at 5'10" and 135 lbs. That's really small, definitely not in the bell curve of the spectrum, but more on the outer edges. It's not the end of the world of course because they are pretty much totally invisible unless I hike my leg up almost over my shoulder and shine the light just right (I guess in a way that's a blessing) but it irks me that I have them at all. I just barely have a bit of chub and everyone compliments my legs and ass. They are like my best feature and now they have been marred by these horrible trenches (well not my ass, they are just on my back inner thigh, but still marred!!). This calls for drastic measures as far as getting back into some sort of shape so as to avoid further complicating the problem. I've never been so upset about something so superficial and that makes me peeved at myself. But it's not a sin to want to look good, right? Just because I'm a forward thinking woman doesn't mean I have to wear clothes that don't fit and no makeup and my hair in a ponytail all the time. I'm not a feminist! (No offense to actual feminists because I know that's not what you are all like. I was just making a joke, but if you got offended by that statement anyway its probably because you are a feminist who dresses like a man and I say to you that you need to quit being a stereotype. Feminism is about being a woman. Embrace those womanly qualities like your breasts and ass and cut throat sense of manipulation and use it to put men in their place! But I digress....)
So I have been doing this blog officially for one year and one week. You will all be so excited to know that one of my New Years resolutions is to blog more. I have a planner that I got for Christmas and I plan to actually write it in if I have to. I'm interesting and the world deserves to know what I think.
I got arrested after Christmas for possession and now I have to do this stupid drug testing program for six months. Staying off the God-given plant isn't the problem, but I'm not allowed to have alcohol either and even the tiniest traces will show up and send me to jail. They told us to get rid of everything that has alcohol in it (body wash, toothpaste, mouthwash, hand sanitizer, etc) because it will show up on the test. So my darling boyfriend and I looked through all my toiletries last night and found everything that I use that has alcohol in it (any kind of alcohol at all, even if it was the last ingredient, I wouldn't risk my freedom on it) and I put them all in a box and tucked them away in the closet. So today I went to Walmart to find new (alcohol free) toothpaste, conditioner, and body lotion. (Damn, I forgot to look for perfume, but I doubt I would have found any, all of mine contained alcohol) I spent an hour in Walmart to find these three things. The toothpaste was the easiest. Basically a toothpaste with no mouthwash (e.g. scope). I got the Crest Complete. Then I tried to find the conditioner. Shampoos do not have alcohol in them, but all conditioner does (even the organic ones!) so I had to settle for a 2 in 1. I looked at several of these and apparently 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioners do not contain any alcohol. The biggest bitch of them all those was the lotion. Almost every single kind of lotion out there has some sort of alcohol (cetyl, stearyl, lanolin, you name it) except for one kind that was a whopping $15 per 4 oz tube (I tried to look up the name of it on the Walmart website but it didn't list it, [it starts with an A] in fact it didn't list any of the stuff that I bought, so your Walmart may have a wider variety of alcohol free products). So I felt at a loss. I did carry that tiny bottle around with me for about 15 minutes, but then I noticed the sun screen isle and thought maybe I could get some sort of sun tan lotion. I thought maybe in the kids brands there would be less alcohol, but this was not so, they may have even contained more. But finally I found some equate version of banana boat for kids that contained none but it wasn't so much lotion as just sunscreen. Then after putting away the ridiculously expensive shit and holding the sunscreen I saw the aloes and most of them were not lotion in anyway, but thin and all containing alcohol when to my luck and joy I saw a bottle called Ocean Potion: moisturizing aloe LOTION! and its got vitamins D3, A, E & C and antioxidants and tea tree oil. It also smells phenomenal. If I apply this regularly it should help with the aforementioned stretch marks as well. And at a very reasonable $5 for a 20.5 oz bottle I felt I had hit the jackpot. Luckily some of the things I already owned were alcohol free so for those of you going through the same thing I am I will tell you what is ok to use if you are going through crazy drug testing:
You can take the weed out of the hippie, but you can't take the hippie out of the girl.

So I have been doing this blog officially for one year and one week. You will all be so excited to know that one of my New Years resolutions is to blog more. I have a planner that I got for Christmas and I plan to actually write it in if I have to. I'm interesting and the world deserves to know what I think.
I got arrested after Christmas for possession and now I have to do this stupid drug testing program for six months. Staying off the God-given plant isn't the problem, but I'm not allowed to have alcohol either and even the tiniest traces will show up and send me to jail. They told us to get rid of everything that has alcohol in it (body wash, toothpaste, mouthwash, hand sanitizer, etc) because it will show up on the test. So my darling boyfriend and I looked through all my toiletries last night and found everything that I use that has alcohol in it (any kind of alcohol at all, even if it was the last ingredient, I wouldn't risk my freedom on it) and I put them all in a box and tucked them away in the closet. So today I went to Walmart to find new (alcohol free) toothpaste, conditioner, and body lotion. (Damn, I forgot to look for perfume, but I doubt I would have found any, all of mine contained alcohol) I spent an hour in Walmart to find these three things. The toothpaste was the easiest. Basically a toothpaste with no mouthwash (e.g. scope). I got the Crest Complete. Then I tried to find the conditioner. Shampoos do not have alcohol in them, but all conditioner does (even the organic ones!) so I had to settle for a 2 in 1. I looked at several of these and apparently 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioners do not contain any alcohol. The biggest bitch of them all those was the lotion. Almost every single kind of lotion out there has some sort of alcohol (cetyl, stearyl, lanolin, you name it) except for one kind that was a whopping $15 per 4 oz tube (I tried to look up the name of it on the Walmart website but it didn't list it, [it starts with an A] in fact it didn't list any of the stuff that I bought, so your Walmart may have a wider variety of alcohol free products). So I felt at a loss. I did carry that tiny bottle around with me for about 15 minutes, but then I noticed the sun screen isle and thought maybe I could get some sort of sun tan lotion. I thought maybe in the kids brands there would be less alcohol, but this was not so, they may have even contained more. But finally I found some equate version of banana boat for kids that contained none but it wasn't so much lotion as just sunscreen. Then after putting away the ridiculously expensive shit and holding the sunscreen I saw the aloes and most of them were not lotion in anyway, but thin and all containing alcohol when to my luck and joy I saw a bottle called Ocean Potion: moisturizing aloe LOTION! and its got vitamins D3, A, E & C and antioxidants and tea tree oil. It also smells phenomenal. If I apply this regularly it should help with the aforementioned stretch marks as well. And at a very reasonable $5 for a 20.5 oz bottle I felt I had hit the jackpot. Luckily some of the things I already owned were alcohol free so for those of you going through the same thing I am I will tell you what is ok to use if you are going through crazy drug testing:
- Lorel Go 360 Clean facewash (with the little scrubber): NOTE: I use the light blue topped bottle with the creamy kind for sensitive skin. I can't vouch for the other kinds, they could all have alcohol in them.
- Toothpastes that DO NOT contain any mouthwash type agent.
- Ocean Potion Moisturizing Aloe Lotion
- White Rain body washes
- Proactiv cleanser, but NOT the green tea moisturizer.
- Degree for men deodorant (that is the gel kind), but NOT the antiperspirant one (the one that is the white creamy bar)
- Crest mouthwash, but really any mouthwash that says alcohol free on the front. These are common.
Bottom line, if you have to be this conscious of the alcohol content in your toiletries then you should just go ahead and check the ingredients label of everything.
Overall, I feel like I will get through this testing program without any problems, now that I have acquired the necessary alcohol free items. And in case any of you were wondering since I am basically a saint and don't have so much as a parking ticket on my record I get to do the deferred course which is only six months as opposed to the full program which is 1-3 years. AND since I haven't partook in the God-given plant since New Years (don't judge, its a celebration!) then I am going to be clean even faster so I don't have to go to these terrible court sessions. That's the other perk to the deferred course. The regular course meets every Friday for Drug Court and it lasts from 9 AM until noon. I don't have that kind of time. I have a legit, demanding job. I only have to go for the next couple weeks while I get clean and while my status is still pending. So I wont have to go back to court until I graduate the program in July, unless I fail a drug test which wont happen because I took extra precautions with my toiletries and I wont have any trouble at all staying clean and I barely drank before so that will be super easy. I wonder what it's going to be like when I get totally clean and have absolutely no alcohol in my system? Will I feel different?
So since I kind of dished a lot of dirt about myself today the song of the day will reflect its juicy nature.
You can take the weed out of the hippie, but you can't take the hippie out of the girl.

Stoner Thoughts on Life's little Eccentricities Part 2
It's been really rainy out and I'm loving it. It's so quiet and peaceful. You can hear the geese honking. I'm sitting on my back porch smoking a ciggy. I would love to live in the city.
So Alive.
Good Flick.
I think that 71 degrees is the perfect temperature for my apartment. I'm completely comfortable.
My boyfriend is doing really good tonight in call of duty. I think it's just cooler to watch because I'm cookie crisp.
I wish I could explain what just occurred between myself and my roommate. We were discussing the end of the world and when the next year would be 12/12/12.
I made some homemade cookie biscuits. They are good. I would serve them at breakfast. Put syrup on them. Or molasses?!!
The amazing world of Gumball. Watch it.
How creepy would it be if the sun was a big smiling face just looking down at us.
Sometimes I daydream about living in the wilderness away from everyone and living off the land. Walking through the trees and shit. I think it'd be cool. It would be great just to be away from people. Get a couple dogs, have my Arda. Eat fresh grown veggies and hunt. Hell yea.
We're all just people.
Guys get man caves. I want a woman cave. But I think I'll call it something else. Maybe it will be my den. Personal den. It's gonna have dark room and a couch and my chair. And I think I need to have bookshelves of some sort. I would put my tv in there with my Xbox too. And I'll have a rug and a fishtank. It's where I'd do a lot of my crafty things.
Got a free razor in the mail. Sweet!

Stoner Thoughs on Life's little Eccentricities
I am just so much better at thinking out loud in a way that seems partially interesting when I'm stoned. People dis weed for some unknown reason. The one thing I dont like is that I get distracted.
I'm hungry.
Watch AFV is great. So funny. I have this necklace that I really like and I am wearing it now and I feel fancy. So I just wear it naked. Haha I originally wrote baked twice by accident but its true too hahahahaha. Fully reccoment watch the Hard Times of RJ Berger. It's fucking hilarious.
So I don't know if you've ever watched team oomizoomi on NickJr but it's not bad. But I always think its funny how they say something and then pause to wait for an answer lol like they are insane.
I like that little oomi car though.
I wish that I lived somewhere that we got a lot of snow so I could build a snowman and put funny things on it like an inner tube.
They have this thing called oomi goggles. And it's just you putting your hands up to your face and the little cartoons do it and I imagine them as really enthusiastic teen group leaders at a kids camp.
The show bubble guppies is weird. I can't imagine living underwater. Your stuff would always be weat and we would get cold. But on the show they are going camping and have a sleeping bag so I guess it would keep you warmer but you'd still get really cold. I like that little outside song though.
How did they get to outer space and are still underwater? is their whole universe inside the snow globe of some other dimension?
Since when are there bears on the dark side of the moon? Are they escaped NASA test subjects that somehow learned to thrive in the low gravity vacuum of the moon's surface.
Keep the balloon off the ground with a five year old while warm and toasty. Win.
I'm totally gonna build wicked forts with my kids.
I kind of look forward to getting where I need glasses because I think they will look really good on me. All hipster and shit.
I love That 70's Show. Hyde is dreamy.
I think I'll watch the Office next.
But Hyde can be a real twat because of how he gets Eric so good with burns. I like those special times where Red is proud of something Eric did.
I look like such a stoner right now.
