Hate: Characters

#3:
And I'm not talking about fictional people on television or in movies. I'm talking about the kind of person who when spoken about is described by another as, "oh him? I know! He's such a character".
I'm all for whatever you want to do, you do, cause you only get one life and you have to make the most of it. But that doesn't mean I won't point and laugh and still judge you in my mind.

Case in point: today on my way into work, I sat next to one of these so-called characters on the train. Black alligator loafers, black slacks, black button down shirt, skinny tie, royal blue blazer, one sterling silver ring on his right middle finger, one turquoise stoned ring on his ring finger, all of his nails grown long and filed pointy (ewwwww), curly long hair tied back in a ponytail, and a black fedora (and not a cute trendy Justin Timberlake type fedora).
I'm sorry, but if you leave the house like that, I will judge you. That's just the way I am. I'm not going to say something to your face. I won't publicly give you a dirty look, but I will probably look at you a little too long and make assumptions in my head. Cause once you leave the house like that, you're just asking for it.
I was trying to figure out where someone goes at 9 in the morning on a weekday looking like that. Does he have an office job? I can't imagine it's too easy to type with those nails and just sit in a cubicle for 8-9 hours looking like you have better things to do like suck someone's blood or practice shooting fangs out of your jaw.
Could you be going to a job where you change into a uniform? Like a short order cook? Or Dunkin Donuts cashier? Or like Judge Reinhold's character in "Fast Times" where he tries to change out of the pirate outfit at the fast food joint? Again, the nails to me seem as though they'd be a health code violation when working with food.
Are you going on a job interview? If so, where? You can't possibly think someone's going to take you seriously with those nails, pony tail and fedora on a job interview. Unless it's maybe to be a host at a haunted house, or an MC at a goth circus.
I just can't think of too many places you could be going looking like that at 9 am. Visiting your mom? But if you're a vampire, maybe she is too, so therefore she's not awake yet. Although you've managed to leave the house during the day, so, I suppose anything's possible.

What a life that guy has.... he's such a character.

Now you really are a zombie.

Love: Documentary, "Young @ Heart"

#3:
I loved this documentary, "Young @ Heart", about the Young & Heart choir based in Northampton, MA, made up of senior citizens who sing contemporary rock and r&b music.
It was so heartwarming, funny, sad, and uplifting all at once.
Interesting people doing something interesting at an age where you think it's just all downhill from there. They prove that theory wrong.

Never again will I complain about getting old.

Never again will I think life sucks.

Love: THE SUN!!!

#2:
I LOVE THE SUN!!! Especially after an entire week of gloom and doom, it's so refreshing to finally see the sun make an appearance.
I'm so excited to wear sunglasses again.
I can't wait to feel its heat on my skin.

Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun...
thanks for finally popping out today!!

Hooray Sun!

Love: wasabi peas

#1:

I love wasabi peas.

They make me cry and they make me smile. Very few things can do that.

They look funny, completely unassuming. I'm still unsure as to what the white stuff is on the actual green pea itself.

BONUS: I don't think they have too many calories (I sure hope they don't, at least.)

And I think they're yummy, and healthier than potato chips, so they're a refreshing alternative snack.

GOOOOOO WASABI PEAS!

Hate: putting together someone else's first date

#2:
I've been with my hubby for the last ten years. My idea of an ideal date? Eating really good food (it can be anything), and drinking great beer or even just cheap beer at at least 2 establishments that are on my "love" list (one of them should have a jukebox). That's a great date for me. We talk, we eat A LOT, and we drink even more. It's fun, relaxed, and I thoroughly enjoy his company. If I didn't, I wouldn't have married him.
So if you ask me for a recommendation on a good place for a date, expect it to be a bar. And don't roll your eyes at me, because that's where I like to go and drinking is what I like to do. I mean if you're the one on the dating scene, shouldn't you have your own arsenal of places you like taking chicks? Why are you asking the married girl who shares an office with you?
Figure it out yourself buddy. And if you can't, I guess that's the reason you're still looking for Mrs. BOH-RING.

Hating right now: being bored at work

#1:
I hate being bored at work. There's really only so much Facebooking one girl can do. Not to mention I've googled everything from potential dinner recipes for tonight (and I most likely won't use any of them), to who Ryan Gosling is currently dating.
I've also searched other people's blogs, like my friend Vikii's, who's blog in turn, turned me onto other cool blogs.
I've also online window-shopped new jeans, designer stuff on sale at ruelala.com, ideeli.com, and one of my other faves giltgroupe.com.
I've also searched new releases to add to my queue on netflix.com.
I looked up the new Indian restaurant I love to see if they do a dinner buffet (they don't).
I've twittered.
I also went to get sushi and soup for lunch and I've already eaten them.
I've filled my Hello Kitty water bottle up three times already on the OTHER side of the office (so I had to walk there). I've gone to the bathroom a couple of times as the result of drinking too much water.
I mean, really, what is left for me to do that is NOT work related??
So I started a new blog.
Hello everybody, this blog is a result of my #1 thing I'm hating right now: being bored at work.
