Today was my last shift at Applebees. When I walked in my coworker Jenna said, “Happy last day of work!” I felt like it was my birthday. Then my boss Phil, who slightly scares me, said that he would buy me a meal. Anything I wanted. Naturally I ordered the steak with shrimp and parmesan on top. When my shift was over I sat in a booth with Jenna, Jason, Melissa, and my roommate...
After watching four episodes of Grey's Anatomy...
Steph: Just one more!
Me: You guysss. We've watched so much TV today. Studies show that people who watch a lot of TV are less happy. Because we don't do anything, so we have no purpose. Or something.
Tiff: But we're not watching TV--these are DVDs.
Everyone: Yeah, seriously.
Tiff: And besides, we drove to Diary Queen and got Blizzards today.
Everyone: Yeah, good point.
TIff: And we walked from the car into church.
Everyone: Yeah, we sure did.
...needless to say, we're still watching Grey's Anatomy.
Tonight was spent driving around with Erin, Steph, Chris, and Ives. We got blizzards from Dairy Queen and milkshakes from Steak ‘n Shake. Then we jump-started Erin’s car, which had been sitting in the AutoZone parking lot for a week. Now I’m going to watch Grey’s Anatomy in bed with Steph and Erin. Goodnight.
It’s a rainy Wednesday morning, and I’m eating a bowl of Life cereal in bed. Eating something called “life” just seems like the best way to start the day, eh?
Yesterday was a pretty great day. I think today will be too.
Right now I’m in my living room. My roommate Stephanie just sent me a quick email from our bedroom (located down the hall and to the left). Her email from down the hall just made me really happy, so why not tumbl about it?

It’s official: I have put in my two weeks notice. Also, whenever I say it I think of that one Sandra Bullock movie.
Reason #112 why I love my life...
Tonight we made breakfast burritos at 10 o’clock, and then we sat on the kitchen floor and talked.
A facebook wall-to-wall conversation concerning...
me: last night i had a dream that michael j and i were best friends. no lie--he even asked me to go with him to get his shirts dry cleaned at kroger (??? it was a dream, okay). i was terribly depressed when i woke up to discover it wasn't true. not even a little bit.

What about you?
Saturdays, Saturdays.
My plans were to spend this Saturday afternoon by the pool, but it’s a dreary day here in Nashville. So instead I’ve decided to throw on my plaid pajama pants, heat up a frozen pizza, and watch the season finale of Lost in my bed.
B-dubs.
Denysha: Man, I wanna go to Buffalo Wild Wings.
Me: Me too!
Denysha: You know about Buffalo Wild Wings?
Me: Yeah, but I haven't been to B-dubs for years.
Denysha: You call it B-dubs!?
Me: Yeah...
Denysha: Whaaaaaat. How have we been been living together all this time and didn't know this about each other!
Guy I work with: Where are you from?
Me: Ohio.
Guy: No really, where?
Me: Ohio.
Guy [looks exasperated]: WHERE ARE YOU FROM.
Me: Oh....Italy?
Guy [is very pleased]: So you must know a good deal of Spanish, then. Because the Italian language is very similar to Spanish.
Me: Well...I don't speak Italian. I'm not really from Italy. I mean, my grandparents are.
Guy: But your parents are from Italy, right?
Me: No.
Guy: Oh. *walks away sadly*
