When I wake up...it will be my birthday.

So leave me a comment. Sing me a song. Give me my birthday wish.

How much do my emoticons rock!

A Candy Crush?

So one of the best things that can happen when you have a crush who doesn’t like you back is to go get a new one. A cute boy at work gave me a piece of candy today, and I think that may have done it. Not that I’m over L5 – I’m just not going to obsess any more because its painfully obvious that he’s not liking me like I’m liking him. And really what can you do. Nothing but get a new crush. Now this was just one little piece of candy so it’s not serious. (Although he only had four pieces and gave me one, even though he wasn’t going to be able to get anymore for several hours.) But L5 doesn’t call, probably because he’s waiting for his L5 to call and that I realize is the cycle. Everybody likes the person to their right, it amazing that the human race can flourish the way it does.

Horoscopes Lie

I know you are all just dying to know how my super sexy hot Saturday night went. Pretty much how you would guess. Totally not super hot or sexy. Well I of course was as were my friends but the music was loud, the place was crowded and only one boy came up to talk us. He complimented one girl’s dress and my earrings. That was the extent of the flirting that went on all night. Unless of course you count the drunk boy getting out of the cab as we were leaving, but he still had a girlfriend in the car so I don’t think that counts. I was thinking about were we may have gone wrong. I was thinking it was the eyelashes. We ended up not putting them on because we were just to over it by the time we left the Flamingo BBQ. (Oh yes I said Flamingo BBQ—and it was as great as the title itself. Margarita machines, blow up boats filled with beer, a chocolate fountain, and a guacamole bowl the size of my head, not to mention a whole layout pulled pork and tiny hotdogs wrapped in bacon. Plus there were garden flamingos with party hats on and flamingo lights hanging over the pulled pork sandwiches. It was actually quite an impressive layout.) So as I was saying it could have been the lack of eyelashes or it could have been the loud music. And it wasn’t so much a singles event, not to say there weren’t single men, because there seemed to be, they just didn’t seem interested in mingling with the ladies, not just me and my friends but all of the ladies. But the night was not lost, the GoGos did play and were quite enjoyable and I there was a silent auction. I was outbid on the first two seasons of Popular but I did when three hours of indoor rock climbing. And the company was good fun, plus it just nice to get out once in a while and try something new. Plus now I’m all signed up for rock climbing and we all know that deer hunters like sporty girls right

I think it's going to be a fun day

So this is my horoscope for today

Quickie: Fulfill all your curiosities now, and try everything that has been intriguing you.

Overview: Your inner Goody Two-shoes takes a nap, which is perfect, because your inner wild child wants to come out and play. You've had enough with finishing what's on your plate and doing what's good for you. It's time for fun!

People it's Saturday and I'm tonight off to what could only be described as a Jdate extravaganza. The GoGos are playing, there's a casino, a silent auction. After all it is "One of Los Angeles magazine's "Top 10 Coolest Things to Do in July" for three years running, the Tenth Annual Justice Ball is your best chance to dress up, get down, and let go!"

People I'm so ready to dress up and get down. I'm straightening my hair, wearing my sexiest (aka only) black dress. Ooh and I'm wearing fake eyelashes (the good kind from Sephora, not the Halloween kind!) and I'm thinking pedicure for the summer toes. People I may even dance without drinking -- ha -- I kid. I can't do that without the T-Babe.

So L5 won't be there. But with this kind of extravaganza you just have to open yourself up the possibility of something new, something off the list. Please I take a list to the grocery store and its less that 50% of what's in the basket by the time I get to check out. And maybe it would be fun to have a real date instead of a real crush-- maybe just maybe.

I think I'm approaching Level 5

So I’ve been trying to write this blog for days now. I’ve just become obsessed and too distracted to write it anything down. So a lot of you realize this means one thing, I’ve met a boy and I have a crush. I’m kind of notorious for these crushes. I think I love having crushes, it makes the days between boyfriends a little more intesting. And I’m starting to realize I have levels of crushes.
Level 1 being the nice man at Whole Foods who buys his wife a pint of milk on his way home from work, even when its raining. Level 2 I’d have to actually have talked to the guy and he probably had some trait/interest/talent that I found very appealing. These two are more momentary crushes. I’d say a Level 3 would be a guy I’ve met who seems great, really want to go out with him maybe we go on a date and then something arbitrary happens and I’m over it. Level 4 requires a couple of dates then I realize why we aren’t quite right for each other. Then there’s Level 5. Level 5 I’m just head over heels, sure we must have some kind of future together. Any logistical problems like the fact he doesn’t realize how crazy I am for him or that he lives three states way don’t seem to be a factor in the practicality of having this level of a crush.
When I get these crushes (really at any of the levels) it’s all I talk about for days and days. And let me tell you I have very patient friends. They get calls and IMs from me on a moment by moment basis about whether he likes me, what I should do next, what they think he will do next, what do they think he means when he says – well pretty much anything. This is when it would help to like a guy who has a myspace page. It’s so much easier to stalk them and find out all their likes and dislikes and their friends likes and dislikes and what it means when he has friends with those likes and dislikes. You can see how this might snowball for me.
Really I can go right over the edge when it comes to Level 5 boys. I think its because I’m so excited about meeting “the one.” I’m always wondering if this is it, if I should remember every moment because in 20 years when we are looking back we’ll be able to talk about when we first met. In fact meeting people and trying to picture us ten years down the road seems to be a hobby with me. It could just be the amount of free time I have to think about all of this.
Anyway I can tell I really liked this boy because I got too nervous to say anything, my usual chatty cathy-ness was out the window. My mind was literally blank. No thoughts. Nothing witty or charming or even barely interesting to say. I made this boy explain the intricate details of what happens to his catch after he goes hunting. (mostly I was worried about having deer blood staining my kitchen counters). Really who asks about that!
So here I am at phase one of a Level 5 crush that seems to have little long-term promise. But you never know what the future holds.
After all there is this high school couple most of us know, they were sure they were meant for each other. The girl moved away in the middle of high school but that didn’t seem to stop them. The boy moved to her in college. And somehow have a fairly curvy road they ended up together.
So anyway that’s were I’m at, that’s were I’ve been, at a phase one level 5 obsession.
