Oh movies. :)

I don't know if you knew this, but Netflix and I are like this *crosses fingers*. Until I got my TV and DVD player here with me all I had was my computer and some internet I borrowed from the neighbors. I literally watched When Harry Met Sally three days in a row.

So if you're on Netflix you know how it asks you to rate movies you've seen and then it'll give you a list of movies they think you'll love. Nothing on the lists they usually give was working for me a couple days ago, so I did that rating thing. In the list of movies they offered there was this one indie flick called Keith.

I watched it.

Love at first sight.

It stars Jesse McCartney

 and Elizabeth Harnois. 

You probably know who Jesse McCartney is. He's the original Justin Beiber. Elizabeth Harnois, however, I had never heard of her. Apparently she's on One Tree Hill. But I don't really watch TV (and especially not shows like One Tree Hill) so I wouldn't have known had I not creeped all over her imdb.com page.

Yes, I admit it. I'm a creeper. But in a good way!

I also creeped Jesse McCartney's page, and I appreciated what I found. On some people's pages it says things like "dating some Russian supermodel (2004)" or "got engaged to the Queen of England (Jan 2006)" (ok, that's an exaggeration, but you get the idea) and then two months later it's over. On his, though, it's all about his music and the TV show he co-starred in for awhile. And he's, like, 23 or 24, normally the imdb pages for actors that age are smothered by that kind of junk!

While I'm at work my imagination likes to jump into overdrive so I don't go completely insane. The day after I watched this movie I had all these imagined situations where I was in L.A. for whatever reason sitting in some coffee shop with my comp waiting for a friend to finish, idk, whatever. I was singing along with the radio and Jesse McCartney happens to be there, hears me, and wants me to come with him to the recording studio so I can be on his new album or something. Pretty sure I'm the only person who does this. 

And of course I'm always the Joe Cool of meeting celebrities, never freaking out once. In my daydreams, at least. If I actually did meet someone famous I probably would be pretty low key while there. I'm not the type to have huge crushes on celebrities because, honestly, what's the point? However, I would definitely send an OMG text to my BFF the moment the situation was over.

Anywho, that's me. I'm weird. It's okay.

I also made the mistake of buying the movie on iTunes. Now there's no free way for me to burn it to disc and actually watch it on my television. Not for lack of trying, though.

Back home to my parent's house for the weekend! Unpacked all of my stuff today during the blizzard, working eight hours on Saturday. 

Cheers!

Yay and Grrr.

It's it weird that I'm stupidly excited about going from 4 followers to 7 in one day? I mean, there are people with hundreds of followers and after two years of writing this blog I finally have 7 followers! Of course, I also networked this blog to my Facebook so there are actually a lot of people who read it that I don't know about.

In any case, thank you thank you thank you to amyschmamey for the shout out and gettin' me three more! Totally made my day. :D

Now for the grr.

Have you looked at the weather radar lately? There's a HUGE blue splotch headed straight for Ohio starting with *drumroll please* Cincinnati.

Now, for most of the people I work with this is no big deal. They'll just stay home and sign on to their work computer from there and do their thing.

Then there's me. The poor girl who moved here two weeks ago, just got her final apartment on Saturday and hasn't had a chance to call the internet company to set anything up. So I, who does not get paid holidays or time off (that sounds weird grammatically) due to being a temporary employee with hourly pay gets to either brave the snow and ice and frigid temperatures tomorrow at 6:30am OR I get to forfeit eight hours of pay that I desperately need. OR I get to make up the time by working on Saturday. Assuming I have internet by Saturday. In either case, any high created by actually being mentioned in someone else's blog and gaining new people to become friends with has been blown up by this frustration.

However, to finish on a high note, I now have almost all of my stuff. I've about three more loads of dishes to do (everything is really gross after spending a year in the garage) and a bunch of boxes to dispose of and tons of organizing to do, but if I don't work tomorrow that will not be a problem.

Anywho, welcome new friends! I hope I don't bore you too badly and that you have a wonderful day!

Song of the Day

I'm not actually going to post a song every single day. Mostly because it'd probably be the same song over again, I tend to go back to things.

However, Sunday's song was "Rock of Ages (When the Road Seems Long)" by Sandra McCracken. This video is, unfortunately, not Sandra singing but you get the idea.
Rock of Ages

Monday's song was "Eet" by Regina Spektor.
Eet

Tuesday
Colors

That's it. Enjoy!

$%&# snow.

Ok. So, this morning I walk to church. It's literally right over there *points* so that was easy enough. Except it's cold. And wet. And I was on the verge of a panic attack because I'm going to this enormous church all by myself and have no one to sit with.

SO! Church went well, the sermon was good and very thought provoking. I filled out a "Connection Card" because I want to get involved in a small group. When I turned it in this very nice blonde woman gave me a welcome packet that included a CD, a little booklet with church info, and a piece of dark chocolate. "How can you go wrong with chocolate?" she says. "Well, I can't have chocolate," I reply. "I'll just give it to someone."

Hey, anyone want a piece of dark chocolate?

Go home and have quite the afternoon of phone calls with my bestie and the fiance and movie watching. Have a gloriously amazing headache, and the whole time it's snowing like crazy. This morning for church you could still see road. and grass. Not anymore!

Now, at 5:30 there's a young adult service for people in their 20s-30s that I wanted to go to, figuring I could meet and connect with some other Christians and make some new friends. It's also at the church so I'm thinking I can walk there, which is great considering there is now around four inches of snow on the ground. I get all bundled up and start walking over only to find the main entrance is blocked by an automated gate. Wonderful. The other entrance is a bit further away so I go to dig out my car.

Ten minutes or so later I'm driving uber carefully down the drive to the road. Make it to the main drag, head up the street, get stuck at a stop light in the left turning lane. I literally sat there at that light waiting for a good five minutes because the light decided no one wanted to turn left and never gave me a signal.

FINALLY I turn onto the correct road (after nearly getting in an accident because some really intelligent person ran the red light while my green arrow was on. Lovely.) and head down there to the building and found a parking lot devoid of people except for some poor girl whose car had slid into the curb and up onto the landscaping and getting trapped there by a bush. Two other cars had stopped and I watched as two guys and a girl lifted her Mini as she drove in reverse and get her out.

Once she was free I went over and asked if there was even church tonight, considering the parking lot was empty, and no one knew. But considering it was going on 5:40 and it was supposed to start at 5:30, it was most likely cancelled.

So I dug my car out and went through all of that for nothing.

And now I get to sit in my empty apartment and watch the millionth movie of the weekend.

The most wonderful time of the year.

To end on a happy note, I found a couch and a chair for completely free and my dad is coming down with Johnny on Wednesday with all of my stuff and we're also going to pick up the couch/chair and I can FINALLY get settled in! So excited, I actually really like this apartment a lot. :D

Have a great evening, y'all!

Yes.

I hope I meet people here soon.

That's all.
