This is not easy. It changes almost daily. Plus, you just can’t compare some movies to others.

Anyway, this is what I have so far:

And really, Pleasantville is technically a comedy, but I don’t want to put it on that list.

In addition, I can go to about 19 on my live action non-comedies list, but it’s really sketchy. Basically, I don’t know what I’m forgetting (and I’m sure I’m forgetting some), and I haven’t seen some movies in forever, so I really don’t know where they go on the scale. However, 11 through 19 on that list includes: Forrest Gump, American History X, Titanic, Chicago, Girl Interrupted, Gattaca, Minority Report, The Family Man, and Catch Me If You Can.

This will all change tomorrow.

And I am so chick-flicked out at the moment. If you haven’t seen it, it is a romantic comedy. Well, actually it’s about ten romantic comedies all tied up into one. After it was over, I felt the need to take a shower to scrub all the sap off.

I mean, normally, I like romantic comedies. And not to say I didn’t like this one, but geez. How many happy endings can one movie have?

I feel the need to watch Fight Club or something.

Yet, I suppose I will have to get used to it when I finally get a job.

Today, however, I had to get up early for a doctor’s appointment. Don’t worry. Nothing’s wrong with me. I just decided that maybe I need to have a check-up or something. Anyway, they failed to tell me when I made my appointment that they were going to stab my finger to check my iron levels. Yeah, I almost passed out. I was repeating to myself the whole time, “You’re fine. It doesn’t even look like a needle, see?” and I didn’t watch while it was being done. It didn’t hurt at all. But then that familiar woozy feeling came over me that screamed, “Someone just stabbed you with something needle-like!!” And my vision went all weird. The doctor asked if I was okay, and I tried to explain my fear of needles without falling out of my chair, but I think most of it came out as some weird psychobabble. Either way, she got me to put my head between my legs, and I was okay after a while. My iron levels, however, were perfectly fine.

I also have apparently shrunk. When I got weighed and measured, the doctor was like, “You’re exactly at 5 feet.” I cried out, “I’ve shrunk??” And the doctor said, “How tall did you think you were?” and I said “Five foot one!” because I have so been 5′1″ since like freshman year of high school. No one has ever argued this point with me. But she just kind of looked at me and wrote 5′0″ on my chart. Ugh. Maybe I wasn’t standing up straight enough. Or I’m shrinking.

I’m finally starting to get calls back from those millions of resumes I sent out. I have some sort of test thing tomorrow at one place (some accounting place) and an actual interview with another place on Thursday (data entry). I’m still hoping the administrative assistant job I applied for will come through, cause it had nice pay.

Money is much needed. Especially with the DVD-buying-frenzy I’ve been on lately. Very similar to the CD-buying-frenzy I was on in February. Except then I had a job.

Tomorrow looks to be a good day.

Friday night I ended up going out with some people to Kingston Alley. It was a pretty cool place; it was the first time I’d ever been there. I had a small sliver of their pizza to see what it tasted like (I wasn’t really hungry), and it was pretty good. They had a special on long island iced teas that night so that was also an added plus.

Saturday I got up early (well, early meaning I didn’t want to get out of bed before 2 pm) and hung out with Sharley. We spent most of the day catching up, grocery shopping, and playing the “Friends” trivia game.

When I got home, my electricity was out. Grr. I sat around for about twenty minutes to see if it was going to come back on anytime soon, but it didn’t. I spent this time doing stupid stuff such as trying to turn on lights and trying to charge my cell phone. I decided to find entertainment elsewhere.

I went to the the mall and got a new purse (the one I posted about a few days ago) and some desperately needed black sandals. Then I went and hung out with Ben for awhile. We were both incredibly tired from the night before, so after a few games of Tetris, we passed out.

Yeah, that’s about all that’s been going on. Sabrina left for Seattle last Monday, and as of Thursday she was in Vegas. I don’t know if she is still there or not. I wish she would call me!!

I’ve applied for about 10 different jobs now. I have yet to hear anything.

So, in the meantime, I’ve been doing such interesting things as…transforming my face!
http://www.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~morph/Transformer/

Here’s how I would look…

…if I were old:	…if I were Asian:
…if I were a man:	…if I were in a Botticelli painting:
…if I were in an anime:	…if I were drunk:

Scary, huh?

Also, here is the newest most addicting game ever: http://www.traum4tized.com/mosh/
My current top score is 50418.

Oh. And Warped Tour tickets.

Someone buy me this in black.

Where do I begin?

Ben and I left Knoxville around 2:00 on Saturday and drove to Atlanta with no problems. We had a little difficulty locating the hotel once we arrived, but found it quickly enough. We headed over to Gwinnett Arena around 7:00. The show was scheduled to begin at 8. I didn’t bother taking the stealth cam with me this time around. We went inside and went down to the floor. Hardly anyone was there yet, so we sat down against the wall towards the front.

Burning Brides came on at 8:00. They were good, much better than I was expecting. The lead singer told he had a surprise for us, and Josh came out and played drums on one song. Then James came out and played guitar on the next one. That was pretty cool. Anyway, I was fairly impressed by them, and I think a lot of other people were too.

A Perfect Circle came on at 9:30. I had an excellent view this time. We were standing on the left side of the stage, pretty close to Jeordie, and like the second “row” of people. I had a great view of Jeordie, James, and Maynard the entire time.

They opened with “Vanishing,” of course, with Maynard behind the screen. When the screen came down as they went into “Pet,” Maynard had a cardboard cutout of Arnold Schwarzenegger placed in front of him. He also had a sign that read “Maynard Dr.” on his microphone stand. Hehe.

I was very, very happy with the setlist for this show. Basically, every song that I didn’t get to hear in Indianapolis, they played in Atlanta. I actually think this show was possibly better than the one in Indy. Maynard was really getting into it. It was just awesome.

Here’s the setlist:
Vanishing
Pet
The Hollow
Magdalena
Weak and Powerless
Orestes
Blue
Thinking of You
Brena
A Stranger
The Package
3 Libras
The Nurse Who Loved Me
Gravity
A song that James sang
The Outsider
The Noose
Judith

Very awesome show.

Afterwards, I couldn’t remember where I parked, so we wandered around the parking lot for awhile. We finally found it, and then it took forever to get out.

Ben before the concert.	Ben after the concert.
Me after the concert.	Dinner!

The next day, we decided to go to the Mall of Georgia, which is like the largest mall in the south. We checked out of the hotel and went to get in the car. It wouldn’t start. We determined that it was the battery and got someone to jump us.

We got to the mall and walked around for a bit. Personally, I think I like Opry Mills better. Although the Mall of Georgia does have an Armani Exchange store (*drool*). It had a neat little outside area with a fountain that kids could play in and some other stuff.

When we got ready to leave (I actually didn’t spend any money), the car wouldn’t start again. Wonderful. The battery is officially dead. We start trying to figure out what to do. We go back into the mall and find a mall security guy and he gets someone to jump it for us.

We start driving down the road looking for an Autozone or Wal-Mart or something. We happen upon a Sam’s Club and decide to stop there. It was already getting kind of late and we were ready to get back on the road to Knoxville. We go into Sam’s, locate the kind of battery we need, and go to pay for it. Well, guess what? My Sam’s Club card had expired. Bleh. So, we get someone there to jump us off and continue our search.

We found a Wal-Mart down the road. We go in, buy a battery, come back out, determine we need a wrench, go back in, buy a wrench, come back out, and finally finally finally get the battery replaced. Finally. Ugh.

So then we get on I-85 to begin our journey back to Knoxville. And get stuck in traffic. For an hour and a half. I’m not lying. We went 14 miles in 1.5 hours. Oh, and did I mention it was raining through all of this?

We finally got back to Knoxville. And now I’m completely broke once again.

Today was Brina’s graduation. She’s leaving for Seattle on Monday, so today was the last time I am going to see her for awhile. I just feel like I’ve lost my best friend or something. I know that we have been living four hours apart for the past four years, but that was just a drive away if we really needed something. Now she’s going to be on the complete opposite side of the country.
Anyway, pictures are up.

I need to cheer up. I’m seeing APC tomorrow.

The Sims 2 finally has an official release date! It’s September 17. That seems like forever away. Especially since it was supposed to be out in March. I’ve already created like 10 Sims with Body Shop, including reasonable likenesses of me and my friends. So apparently now I have four months to tweak them.

I went out to dinner with Brina, Matt, and their families last night. Afterwards, we went back to Matt’s house. Brina and I attempted to play pool. Heh. I am so out of practice. Anyway, she had sunk all her balls and was working on the 8-ball while I still had yet to hit anything in. But I made an amazing comeback and somehow won. Apparently I remembered how to play about halfway through. We attempted to go out and do something after that, but we were all too tired. Anyway, I took some pictures, which I will probably put up when I get back to Knoxville tomorrow night.

Two more days till APC!!

The Sims 2 Body Shop was released yesterday. Yay! Now I can spend all my (neverending) free time creating Sims, so that I won’t have to waste time doing it when the game finally (never) comes out! Yay!

Ben and I went to see Van Helsing last night. Err… It wasn’t a horrible movie, but it wasn’t all that great either. Maybe wait for dvd. Or TV.

I’m in Clarksville for a few days. Going out to eat with Brina and Matt tonight. I get to see her new engagement ring!

Remember how I was looking for Zodiac wallets like a month or so ago? Well, they seem to be everywhere now. Except I still haven’t been able to find Scorpio!! Ugh. Claire’s had some that were absolutely perfect. Right colors, right size, everything. But no Scorpio. I asked the girl that was working if they had any more, and she said all they had were the ones that were out. I told her I was looking for Scorpio, and she said that she hadn’t seen any. Bleh.

I still haven’t sold my books back. I really need to get around to doing that. I did, however, turn in my keys at work and return my library books. And I also cleaned the living room. Now if I could just find that motivation to clean my bedroom… Nah.

I don’t know what I’m going to wear to the concert on Saturday. Maybe I will steal Brina’s shiny black pants again (assuming she hasn’t packed them already) and wear the same thing (minus the boots…my feet still hate me from the last concert). I mean, really, where else am I gonna wear that top? I don’t know. I’m super excited about this concert, though.

Today I did my annual I-have-no-job-but-summer-is-here-so-I’m-going-to-max-out-my-credit-card shopping. I went for black cargo capris and some black shoes. I came out with black cargo capris, three shirts, some jewelry, and some black shoes. I actually wanted another pair of shoes, but yeah…anyway.

A Perfect Circle in 5 days. :-O I cannot wait.

It felt really weird not to go to work today. I just didn’t know what to do with myself. I tried going to the park, but it was really, really, really hot, so I left after about 20 minutes. I went grocery shopping, but that didn’t take very long. I tried taking a long bath, but that got boring. I tried watching TV, but that got old. I tried reading a book, but it wasn’t holding my interest.

Bleh.

I guess I only have to put up with this endless boredom for a few more days. I will probably head to Clarksville on Wednesday, since Brina’s graduation is on Friday. Then to Atlanta for the weekend to see APC again! Yay!

Tomorrow I am going to attempt to sell back my books. I never got around to selling back last semester’s, so I have a ton that I need to get rid of. I’m hoping to get at least $100, but we will see. I need to remember to turn in my library books too.

Blogger redid their stuff, and now they have built-in comments. I doubt I will be switching, though. I’ve already had to reset my comments once; I don’t really feel like losing them all again.

Anyway, my attention span has just about run out for this post. Someone call me.

Oh, and, by the way, happy mother’s day to my mom and happy birthday to my brother Tim!

Today was my last day at work. I was working the last shift, so I got to do everything for the last time. No one came to the labs all night, so I didn’t really do much, but still. No more lab assistants.
Last night was the last episode of “Friends.” I cried my eyes out. It has been my favorite show for as long as I can remember. Now what am I going to do on Thursday nights? Watch “Joey”? That’s definitely not going to be the same. Don’t get me wrong. I was very happy that Ross and Rachel ended up together, but, let’s face it, everyone knew they would. There would have been some seriously pissed off people all across this country if they hadn’t.

I’m trying not to dwell on how screwed up this semester was. I’m trying to look more to the future. I just need to get a good job this summer and then go from there. I have no idea what I’m doing other than that. Just trying to take it one day at a time.

But I am really happy for other reasons. It’s good to be happy.

Heh. It’s a little freaky when your site is #4 on Google for “scorpios are evil” and #6 for “how to set a mousetrap.” Although, it seems a little odd to me that someone would actually be doing a search for “scorpios are evil.” Hmm. At least the mousetrap one makes more sense, although it clearly says in the little blurb that I do not know how to set one. I’m sure that now that I’ve said these phrases a few more times, I can expect more visitors doing these searches.

I’m hungry. I think I will go find food.

I just did some quick math.

I would have to get an A on my 365 final in order to PASS the class. With a D. I really don’t think that’s going to happen. What is the point in me even showing up for the final then?

This semester needs to be erased from my college career.

Throat still hurts, but that’s about it.

They are doing something with the plumbing in the apartment complex. And they have turned the water off. I have to be at work in a little over an hour and I can’t even take a shower or brush my teeth. I already feel gross enough being sick. Why do they have to add to it?

Anyway…happy Cinco de Mayo! Unfortunately, I will be studying all night. Although right now I really don’t see how that could possibly help me in CS365.

Okay, so yesterday I could barely move, which I figured was just me being sore from playing Twister this past weekend. So I took a long, hot bath to try to sooth my muscles. Except when I got out of the bath, I was really woozy and feeling faint. I laid down and tried to get some sleep, but I didn’t get much.

When I woke up this morning, I still felt bad. Still faint and a bit nauseated. But I made myself get up and study for my CS311 final that was at 12:30. As long as I didn’t stand up, I was fine. I went and took the test and came back. Still feel like crap. My throat is killing me (it better not be strep) and my muscles are still sore. I can’t tell if I have a fever. I would go buy a thermometer, but I really don’t feel like moving at all. I would say that I don’t feel overly warm, but not overly cool either, so I may have a slight one.

I hate being sick. Especially around finals. Hopefully it will only be like a 24-hour thing. Anyone want to come take care of me?

This weekend was pretty fun. Friday night I went out to Mellow Mushroom with some friends. Yummmm. I think I could live off Mellow Mushroom. If I end up moving, that will probably be the thing I miss the most. Of course, maybe I should move to Atlanta where Mellow Mushrooms are in abundance. Hehe.

Anyway, then Saturday night I went to a party at some friends’ house. I had a blast. I finally won a game of Egyptian Ratscrew (because I was sober) and lost Twister (because I was drunk…well, not entirely. The first game I got pushed over by someone who wasn’t even playing and I was really tired after that, plus just had no balance). So, anyway, Ben and I still have to do our Twister rematch. But sober this time. It needs to be fair.

I meant to bring my camera to the party, but I forgot it. I had a million things on my mind. I even had to turn around once on my way there and come back because I had left my cell phone. And I still forgot the camera. So no pictures. But I did have an absolute blast. And that’s all I’m going to say.

Finals are this week. Uggh. I have one tomorrow and two on Thursday. Uggh.
