The Cubs are in first place, so I must watch every game for the rest of the season so I can make them win with my positive thoughts…watch Fever Pitch and welcome to my obsession. (btw, I’m watching the Cubs game, so my thoughts will be schizo at best!)
I went running yesterday. Well, more like jogging…who am I kidding, I jogged for a block then heaved a lung out onto Marine Drive…but preceded to fakerun-jogalk to Montrose Harbor, where I saw lots and lots of sailboats and dreamed of the day I would own one…and learn how to command one…or know someone who had one…but back to running…I was never an athlete. I played volleyball in high school for one year and found out that a 5’1″ Filipino was not going to be able to spike or block, so I turned to dancing, which I miss, but it was never like, run five miles and then we will do jazz runs across the floor. I have never been a good runner. Or athlete. So what made me want to run yesterday? Probably a lack of quality TV or sports on…and you ask if I ran today when the weather is beautiful and perfect? Hell no! There’s a cubs game on! (plus my quads still hurt, but that would just be complaining…)
Someone recently asked me when I think I will get married. I told them I wasn’t sure I ever would. They looked at me with sad puppy eyes and said, “Aw, don’t think that way…it’ll happen!” To which I proceeded to roll my eyes and explain (for the umpteenth time) that I was sure I would end up with someone of the opposite sex as a life partner, but I didn’t think I needed a piece of paper to justify that commitment. To which the person proceeded to again quip with puppy eyes, “Oh, you’re just being pessimistic. You just haven’t found the person you are going to marry yet.” To which I proceeded to poke out my eyes with the chopsticks I was holding and then took those chopsticks and shoved them into this person’s jugular…
then I snapped back into reality and discovered that my chow mein had arrived. “Would anyone like some chopsticks?” the waitress asked us. And thus, a story was born.
I downloaded music yesterday from iTunes (don’t worry, Mom, I had a gift card). The playlist is so completely random that I must list them here:
Colbie Caillat’s album
Rihanna’s “Shut Up and Drive” (got me running yesterday, didn’t it?)
Kayne West’s “Stronger”
Madonna/Timberlake’s “4-minutes”
Gavin DeGraw’s new album
The Last Goodnight’s new album
Ingrid Michaelson’s new album
My dog is looking at me right now from the couch wondering what the hell I am doing. A friend of mine asked me why I keep a blog of all my thoughts. I kinda think my friend looks at me like my dog does when I am spewing my guts online. My thoughts just go faster with a keyboard. I kept a blog when I was studying abroad in London, and I loved it. It was more to make ex-boyfriends who were online stalking me (pre-twitter) feel jealous of all the fun I was having without them, and also to update my family on my whereabouts in my “cultural” studies. Then when I came back, I decided that living in LA was enough to fill millions of pages of books, so why not digital intact them online? That way I could feel validated later on in life that I lived…since my thoughts were online. Now I blog because it is a healthy outlet for my sporadic thoughts of life as a twentysomething, and because people read it, and because its cool, and I can say things like, “oh, I am so writing that in my blog!” (its cool, people, it is!). Why do I blog? Because I like to write. I have something to say. And all my friends are sick of me talking about my unhealthy obsessions with TV dance shows and contemplative thoughts that borderline pessimism. But mostly I blog because it gives me something to do during commercial breaks of Cub games.
Things you may not know about me…which will constantly be updated so my future boyfriend can know what he is getting himself into BEFORE we’ve even met (!)…and are now listed in the About Me section:
I am obsessed with the History Channel, especially Digging for the Truth and Mega Disasters, which is hilarious because I hated both my history classes and my Earthquake class.
I have a weakness for Baskin/Robbins Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. Have been known to eat half the carton in one sitting.
I want to own a theatre company so my actress sister will always have a place to perform.
Ok, Cubs are up two in the fourth. I just saw this shirt and I should’ve bought it. It read, “Curse? What Curse? with a picture of a goat, and the back read “This is our year!”….but notice how it didnt have a date on what year…haha…I heart the Cubs.
OMG. I just logged off without publishing this post, and I thought I had lost it. Almost had a coronary there. Especially since I know this post is Pulitzer Prize worthy…hehe…and I forgot to spellcheck
