Some days, I am governed by my head, others days, I'm governed by my heart

I find a sense of irony when somebody who deleted me as a friend on facebook sends me a request to be connections on linkedin.

It's amazing how much longer the day is and how much more time there is to do stuff when you wake up before 10am.

I was hesitant for the longest time about getting a smartphone because I am known to drop and misplace my phone a lot.  And what was the first phone to officially last me the entire two years?

As much as I like my phone, most stores don't carry accessories for it, which can be annoying.

Chances are, if I wear a headband all day, my day ends with a bad headache.  And yet I never learn.

Some songs, no matter how much time passes, always remind you of certain memories and people.

There's something that is oddly satisfying (and kinda gross at the same time) about seeing all the guck a Biore nose strip after using it.

Most days, I hate taking a shower but once I'm in, I don't want to get out.

I fall into the narrow calves category, which might seem petty to complain about to most but when you can never find riding boots that aren't too baggy (and you refuse to wear leg warmers), it can be quite annoying having smaller than average calves.

Where do we begin? The rubbles of our sins.

Where are the answer that we need for the questions we're afraid to ask?

Just a hopeless romantic afraid to fall in love.

Some days, the hardest thing about getting out of bed is that it is warm under the covers.

Was forced to do windows 10.  Slowly adapting, but not thrilled.

Having doubts about a choice I haven't even made yet.  Indecisiveness sucks.

There comes a point most days where despite my best attempts, my brain has turned to mush and thinking hurts.

What's the point in registering with the Do Not Call List if they're not going to do their job?  Sick of getting calls offering me discounts on Viagra, among other stuff.

Jealous of people who can make $100 purchases without a second thought and I fret just making a $30 purchase on a single item.

I would like to think if I had a Wii, I'd be all about Just Dance and wouldn't considering it exercise because it's fun.  Maybe I should save up for one...

Some days, I get very excited when it becomes 9pm because I can go to bed without feeling like someone my parents' age.  Other days, it's 3:30am and I think 'Oh, I should probably start trying to fall asleep'

December 23rd is one of my favorite holidays

Food art is pointless to me.  It's only extra time between me and the food consumption.

While I am a fan of random holidays, it's gotten out of control.  Worse, it seems we have the same random holiday multiple times a year, which I find annoying.  Pick one day for your random holiday and stick to it.  Having middle child day, left hander's day and cat day at least once a month makes it lose its special-ness.

When it comes to toilet paper, I'm somewhat of a brand snob, because I hate getting anything other than the dollar tree toilet paper.  Why pay more than I have to, especially if the more expensive product isn't as good?

I hate that the power cord outlet on my computer is on the left side because it's always in the way.  It'd be better if it was in the back or right side.  Random, I know.

I had a rental car with a Wyoming license plate.  It made me think of an old Garfield clip where he basically says Wyoming doesn't really exist.

I've never really been into Star Wars.  I don't hate it, I just don't like it.

However, I'm totally game for the rumor of another Spaceballs movie.

 It saddens me that I can't make Steve Urkel references at work and have the kids understand.

February 26.  Fuller House debuts.  When I finally cave and get myself a Netflix account.

Jon Stewert/Stephen Colbert 2016.  Now needed more than ever.

I am unimpressed with the Harry Potter coloring book, was expecting more for the asking price.  Thanks, but no thanks.

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore. If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before

My personal motto for adulthood: fake it til you make it

Since Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have both moved onto to bigger and better things, I'm now campaigning for Jimmy Fallon/Justin Timberlake ticket.  Americans for History of Rap.

Crayola now makes adult coloring books.  A little late to the party, I'd say

Target has suede flares, vests and skirts/dresses.  Umm... no.

I like tulle skirts a lot.  I think I might have been a ballerina in another life.

I saw an ad in a store window looking for participants for a flash mob.  Isn't the whole purpose of a flash mob not to know when or where it's going to happen?

Heard a radio commercial mentioning an artist singing for the soundtrack of the new Bridget Jones movie. Hold on, what?

There is a guy who walks around the neighborhood with a tuba.  I am told this is normal.

Matilda and Hunger Games are amongst the movies in the ABC Family 13 Nights of Halloween.  Neither one is a Halloween movie (though Matilda rocks!)

I liked Maroon 5's first album.  Nothing since.

I can be practical to the point it's annoying

I'm excited for Adele's new album.  Something about self-discovery and self-worth?  My type of music!

And even when your hope is gone move along, move along just to make it through

The two biggest lies I will ever tell is that I have read the terms and conditions and that I am fine.

I don't drink, but I imagine I'd act very similar when I'm sleep deprived: overemotional and somebody who won't shut up.

The thing I hate most about romantic comedies is how quickly people fall in love and become a couple.  It can be depressing the rate people meet and get together when you're eternally single.

There is a kid at work named Elsa. She hates the movie Frozen.  Can't remember the last time I felt this bad for a kid because of her/his name.

Living in Northern VA means that everything political that happens in DC is considered local news.  This can get very frustrating when you just want to know about the crime spree in the next town over and have to weed through everything congress is doing to piss each other off.

I don't remember when Maryland, Virginia and DC started being referred to as the DMV, but I find it offensive.  Why would we want our region sharing a named with one of the nation's most despised state institutions.  I mean, I know DC should be used to it.

I have a lot of stuff, specifically clothing, books and art and craft supplies.

There is going to be a movie written by and starring Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer.  It's going to be magical.

I keep getting a side-ad on facebook from ModCloth for a unicorn nightlight.  It's so utterly pointless (haha, no it's not, it's a unicorn!) yet I keep thinking how cool it is.

I am coming to realize the truth in the phrase of life is what you make it.

However, I still hate and disagree with the phrase everything happens for a reason.

Punching in a dream

I like people watching.  Especially at bookstores/libraries.  it's interesting who ends up in what section.

I sometimes wish crayola markers could be purchased individually by color.  it seems overkill to have to buy a whole pack when really you just overused one killer and need it replaced. (my brown marker is out of ink).

Family feud is not worth watching if Steve Harvey isn't the host.

On a related note, some answers are just stupid and still some of there family members still clap and say "good answer, good answer", no it's not,  it's a terrible answer!

New guilty television pleasure: King of the Nerds.  Reality tv but with nerds.

Modcloth is really annoying me right now.  Stop showing me things I really want but you are out of stock of in my size!  I hate being teased like that!

Heard something about a New Kids on the Block, TLC and Nelly tour. had to double check that it's 2015

anytime I have Spaghetti-O's, I get the urge to sing Martina McBride's "This One's For The Girls"

I would be a really good personal organizer.

I enjoy naming my sims a bit too much.  I have Justin Case, Donna Tello, Allison Wonderland and Iggy Gwana just to name a few.  oh and Molly Whopper, because molly whopping.

life doesn't come with an instruction manual

problem: having and using multiple library cards.  almost returned a book to the completely wrong place.

I always feel conflicted when libraries and book stores put books within a series in alphabetical order.  It's hard to resist rearranging them in their series orders like I do with my person collections.

I am a broken record.

sometimes I think I want to be on the show What Not To Wear, but then I quickly realize I don't want to toss my current wardrobe completely and would feel guilty going to the high-end boutiques they often feature.  I feel guilty spending more than $30 on any one thing.

One fashion trend I really hate is the thinness and transparency of clothing.  I rather not show the world my under garments but apparently the fashion industry thinks I should on a subtle level.  Thanks, but no thanks.  That's a view I reserve for a few select people.

one of these days, I promise myself I will start messing around with make-up.

french braiding is a whole lot harder to do on yourself than it is another person.  I can't see the back of my own head.

I think the most important lesson I have learned in recent years is to trust my gut.

I have reactivated my VCCS account and am now enrolled in a summer course at NoVA.

Fair Lakes Shopping Center is funny.  Not only does it have a Target and Walmart literally 500 feet apart, it also has a Modells Sports and Sports Authority right next to other.  competition or convenience?

My three favorite flowers are daisies, cherry blossoms and dandelions.  I don't care if the last one technically is a weed.

Can't stop this now, not backing down

true story: when I play with street view on google, I can see trash in my brother's car

facebook suggested I play Candy Crush, as 27 of my friends play it and my first thought was "only 27?"

found out recently Johnny Depp is 50.  he's reallly good looking for 50

I saw a sign that said STOP THE TOLLS.  I misread it at first and read STOP THE TROLLS and was kinda confused

Perfect Score is my new guilty pleasure tv show.

I really miss having cable somedays, able to veg out to home decorating shows and cartoons 

I am moving to Northern VA within the week but still have a lot of packing to do.  procrastination is a skill I have not lost since college.

I got a new job that I am excited for and nervous about at the same time.  Same thing I've been doing for the past three but now going to be a site director, working with Prince William County instead of Newport News.

One of my internal debates is do I get a library card for Fairfax County even though I hope to be living in Prince William County by the time 2014 rolls around or not?  I love libraries: it saves me so much money on my reading addiction.

Whenever I hear the line from Defying Gravity "Something has changed within me Something is not the same" it makes me think of the song from Seasme Street "one of things is different, one of these things not the same"

I still have my Borders Perks key tag on my key tag ring.  I can't seem to get myself to take it off despite the store closing two years ago.

A few things happened this year that I have wanted for a long time and happened by being in the right place at the right time.  My APO family was revived and I got two new awesome littles and a full time job doing what I love.  now if only the romance factor would happen

computer gripes

huh, haven't had one of my random thoughts posts in six month

couple of weeks ago, my laptop of 7.5 years, Jim Henson, started smoking.

 I now have a new laptop after two weeks of having to rely on library computers.  still deciding on a name.

I don't like windows 7 (or 8).  I miss XP.

It's annoying having to remember all my favorites in my internet browser.  that's why they were on my bookmarks, so I wouldn't have to remember them.

I am also having to re-customize my laptop in other ways.  it's annoying as well.

new laptop is nice, works without having to jimmy the cord every five minutes, has a webcam and has a longer battery life.  I'll get over these complaints in the week.

Dark side of the garden

Saw a commercial for the ODU hockey team playing against the NoVA team.... NoVA has a sports team?

A black cat crossed my path this morning.  I'm not superstitious, but can't help but wonder - does it mean good luck or bad luck?

My apartment complex put in smoke detectors in the bedrooms last month.  I'm still getting used to there being something in the middle of my ceiling.

At work last Wednesday, the three of us started randomly quoting Kenan and Kel and GoodBurger.  we're a bunch of proud 90s kids.  meanwhile, the kids we work with kept giving us really weird looks.

At work today, I mentioned Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  my supervisor has never seen it and the other girl had never even heard of it.  I'm not sure how I feel about this.

I am at the point whenever a political commercial comes on tv or the radio, I mute it or change the station.  State and local elections are just as bad as the presidential.

had the recurring nightmare the other night after not having it a few years - the one where CNU changes their mind about me passing the capstone class and makes me retake the class.

Went to hallow-screem at Busch Gardens Sunday - I hate clowns.  really really hate clowns.
