Collide by Howie Day
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
But I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find, you and I collide
I'm quiet, you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
You somehow find, you and I collide
Don't stop here
I've lost my place
I'm close behind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find, you and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
If you haven't heard it, listen HERE

Family Guy
We were watching Family Guy on Sunday and this is a screencap of a scene:
The character of Chris (in this picture) has this huge zit that talks and tells him to do crazy things. And this was one of the things that zit made him do. I read the message boards and there are a lot of people who don't either get it or they think it's mean. I think it's hilarious and I'm sure he loved it. Alright, enough about Johnny boy for tonight...

just when you thought the hair was beyond help...
you see a beautiful picture like this:
It's from the website for the John Mayer Trio. Read the little bio to understand.
But holy crap, that boy in the middle is so pretty.

"I actually had a good time."
This is what Chris said to me as we were leaving the baseball game last night. My parents have season tickets to the Diamondbacks that they share with my cousin. They always give me & Chris tickets to one game a year and our game was last night. The game started off bad, then got good, then got real bad. I started yesterday with a headache and was not even sure if I wanted to go, but I rested before the game and felt good by the time we left for it. Chris does not like to sit and be bored and he was dreading going to the game, so for him to react like that was surprising as hell to me. I enjoyed myself too. Here are some fun things about the game:
- We had foot long hot dogs from a place at the ballpark called Big Dawgs. They were so yummy. We also drank lots of soda and Chris ate most of the cotton candy that he said he bought for me.
- We had lots of room, because the people who sit next to my parents did not come to the game. So we had 4 seats for 2 people. That's always nice.
- A guy about 2 rows up and across the aisle from us caught a fly ball with his bare hands and then gave it to a little kid sitting behind us.
- There was a guy who was a Giants fan a couple rows up from us and he kept saying, "Nice!" It was cracking me up and then I started saying it too.
- There was kid sitting right behind us with his mother and he saw the cotton candy guy and said, "Cotton candy has the word candy in it." It was like he realized that for the first time. It was so cute and so funny.
- I bought this toy bat that I continually hit Chris with throughout the end of the game.
- We left in the top of the 8th inning and as we were leaving, the Giants scored another run and by the time we got home, they had scored 4 more. Yikes!
All and all, it was fun and I was really glad that my headache had gone away. We really appreciate the tickets, Mom & Dad. Thanks.

ants
We have an ant problem. Over the last few days we have seen a few here and there and Chris has a few bits on his ankles and legs. We talked about needing to get some ant powder and we were going to get it this weekend. Well the ants had other ideas. We came home from the baseball game late last night (more on that later) and discovered a trail of ants that seemed to go on forever. From the box of cookies on the counter, across the counter, in front of the sink, down the cabinet, across the floor in front of the sliding door, over the microwave, across the base board in the dining room, across the entrance to the hallway, and across the base board in the living room. NEAT! Good thing I found a can of RAID in the cabinet. I sprayed everywhere and it has a surprisingly non offensive smell. It killed them all, at least I thought. I went to get ready for bed and then came back into the kitchen only to find more on the counter. BASTARDS. I hadn't sprayed the counter, but Chris had wiped it down and thought we got rid of them. Turns out they were hiding under some dirty dishes in the sink. Punks. I had to load up the dishwasher and rinse the sink really well. I also thought to spray down the trash can too because we had thrown away the food that had been on the counter and there were ants all over the package. That's some smart thinking. I ended up not getting to bed until after midnight and needless to say, I am very tired. Maybe that's why I fell up the stairs? I was trying very hard to keep my eyes open while I was driving too. That's special. Needless to say, I am going after work today to get the ant powder to kill those sons a ...

what's up with me tonight
I am chilling watching the Spurs just win the championship. I really didn't want them to win, but I guess since they beat the Suns, they should win. I am burning
this candle. So yummy. This afternoon, I got a wave of energy and started organizing my stuff for the office. Lets just say that energy wore out and it's all still all over the living room. I did go shopping and got some new bras (WOO HOO!) and got the things I needed from IKEA. I enjoy successful shopping trips. It was really hot, though (DUH!) and humid, which is not normal. Another storm rolled through tonight, but not nearly as cool as last nights. It rained around 6:45pm and has sprinkled a little on and off since. I need to go get something to eat...

lack of sleep
Today was the first day I actually had to be at work by 7am. And of course, there was a storm last night that kept me up. I think I slept like about 3 hours, if that. There was all sorts of lighting and thunder and it even rained a little bit. It was definitely an Arizona summer storm. It was a neat light show, though. So, needless to say, I am tired.
There are all sorts of wildfires burning right now. There is one that is not all that far from where we used to live (our old apartment). I can tell you that if we still lived there, we would be smelling smoke. It's really sad because a bunch of homes have been destroyed. People have these nice houses in the mountains and they are gone now. That's so sad.
I get off work in 1 hour! And I am going to get some bras and then go to IKEA to get some storage bins. I need to get organized in the computer room. We have the desks all set up, but I am still all a mess. I knew it would get to me eventually and it finally has. I think (I hope) the novelty of the new television has worn off a bit so that I can get something accomplished this weekend!

bras
What's the deal with my bras lately? I know this is a random subject, but this is really bothering me. In the last 2 weeks, I have had to throw away 3, count them, 3 bras. Two that the wires poked out the end and one yesterday that the wire broke in the middle. I am not happy. I know they are not meant to last forever, but do they all have to die at the same time? I guess I have no choice but to go buy new ones.

wrinkles
As most people know, I am not too keen on getting old. I think 30 is death. I also do not enjoy the physical signs of aging (isn't that from a commercial?). I use the Proactiv to get rid of my zits and I moisturize like there is no tomorrow - at least on my face. Just this morning, I pulled out two gray hairs. I have also noticed small wrinkles around my eyes. This does not please me in the slightest. I went looking for eye creams and found Eye Believe from philosophy. I ordered it. When I read "you need this product if: you are young and showing early signs of aging." That's me. Maybe I'm blowing it all out of proportion, but I will do anything to not have wrinkles. So far the plucking of the gray hairs has been working. But check back when my head is overtaken by them and I can't pluck them all. I guess it's dye time for me then.

meeting people online
I had a bad experience, therefore I may have a biased opinion on this subject. But I think one of the best things in life is that we can learn from other peoples experiences. I appreciate that and really do use that as a practice in my life. So, I feel as though I should share the story for those who don't know and as a reminder to those who do.
I was one year out of high school when I met Ryan in a chatroom for fans of the Dave Matthews Band. We chatted for a little bit on the first night and then ended up talking on the phone that same night for about 3 hours. We talked again on the phone the next few days and then decided to meet. I went to his apartment (that he shared with his dad and his sister) and picked him up. We went to a see a hypnotist that was performing at my college. It was fun and we got along really well. We kept talking and he slowly became a big part of my life. He was going through a rough time in his life and he dropped out of high school not soon after we met. He said he always wanted to be a DJ and he wanted to go the school to be one. I, being the nice person I am, helped him out so much. I drove him places. I got him a job were I worked. I helped him study for and get his GED. He and I just got closer and closer. We even experienced together one of the worst things that's ever happened to me. One night he called me because he had ridden his bike to work, but it was raining and he asked for a ride home. Cool. No problem. I did things like that for him all the time. But this night ended very differently. When we got to his apartment, we got his bike out of the trunk and we were standing by the car. I was standing on the drivers side with door open and he was standing on the passenger side and we were talking. This car drove by us once and then came back around again. One of the passengers got out and pulled a gun on us. I can still picture it like it happened yesterday. Before he pulled the gun, the guy told Ryan that he wanted to buy his bike from him. Ryan told him that it wasn't for sale. The guy then pulled the gun and said that he would take it then. The guy told us not to follow him either. We just stood there in total shock. I was so scared and didn't know what to do. We went to his apartment and Ryan's dad was home. We told him what happened and he called the police. The police came and took statements from both of us. I called my parents to come and pick me up because there was no way I could drive home. The police did search the area and found the bike just up the street. I knew then that the people in that car just did that to screw with us. They saw a chance and took it. They completely altered my life forever and they probably just laughed it off and haven't thought about it since. After this happened, the relationship with Ryan and I took a strange turn. We were closer than ever after sharing this event, but I did not know how I felt. Mind you, the whole time I was "friends" with Ryan, Chris (who is my husband now) and I were together. We had been together over 3 years at this point. Chris lived across the country, though. So we were still long distance. Chris was 1500 miles away and Ryan was right here. I loved Chris with all my heart and knew we would be together forever, but Ryan was right there. He gave me the attention that I was missing. To me, Ryan and my relationship was always just friends. He knew I had a boyfriend. But something strange happened not soon after the hold up. I was at Ryan's and I was laying on his bed reading something and he started rubbing my back. This was strange, but felt good. He started to lift my shirt and I freaked. This was the first such advance that he had done. We had hugged before, but I hug all my friends. When he did this, I sat up and explained to him that he knows I have a boyfriend and that we are practically engaged. He said that he didn't know that we were that serious. I left and was all sorts of confused. Had I led him on? We talked later that night and he was so mad at me. He seemed to think that I had been leading him on the whole time. He said he didn't know if he wanted to be friends with me. I really did not want to lose him as a friend, but I knew things had to change. Then I had to make an even more difficult call. I had to call Chris and explain to him what happened. He knew I had a friend Ryan, but I don't know how much I told him about everything. Even now, I don't remember. But I told Chris what happened and I told him it was up to him about what I should do. If he wanted me not to see Ryan again, then I would not. My relationship with Chris was far too important. He never said that. He wanted me to do what I needed to do. I just wanted an excuse anyway. Our relationship was strained though. I felt very guilty for having the relationship with Ryan. He was right. I had led him on more than I should have. We were both wrong, but I bore the guilt because he thought it was all my fault. It almost destroyed my relationship with Chris. But a few months later, Chris and I became engaged, meaning that I was gonna move to Ohio. I know that after going through this, we both were like, "I don't want to be apart anymore." My relationship with Ryan became almost non-existent. When I told him I was moving, he was upset. He quickly moved on though and met another girl online. He always talked about her and it seemed like he was rubbing it in my face. Trying to make me jealous. The last time we talked was a week before my wedding. I wanted to try to make things right between us, but he wasn't having it. I regret this relationship more than anything in my whole life. I risked my relationship with Chris on a boy I met online. I had one of the most traumatic experiences of my whole life. I also hurt someone that I cared about without really meaning to and it still seems unresolved. Now I know that there are people who have much worse experiences with meeting people online. People getting killed or kidnapped and things. But this was a year and a half of my life that I regret and it all started because we met online and then in real life. When we first met, if I had only known... I know that you can't ever know what will happen in any relationship, online or otherwise. But I just feel like people tend to be more careful with people they meet in real life than with those they meet online. You know your co-workers really well and some you consider friends, but do they have your address or home phone number? Not most of them. But posting on your blog that if random strangers email you, you will give them your address to mail you things. That's just nuts. You knew this was directed at you, Bright Star - or can I refer to you by your real name now since you wrote, "Y'all can know who I am. It's really fine." You know how I feel about all this. I am so glad that all your experiences so far have been positive, but just know that it's not the smartest thing to do and I just don't understand how you think it's ok. Does that little voice in your head not tell you it might not be such a good idea? Seriously? We only say this because we love you. I'll stop now. I've told my story. I can only hope that you don't ever have one to tell.

this is funny
Me: "Are you gonna wait up for me?"
Chris: "Yeah."
Me: "Aren't you gonna go to bed?"
Chris: "I don't know about that."
Me: "What about work tomorrow?"
Chris: "I don't know about that either."
Me: "You can't call in sick for a new tv."
Chris: "You haven't seen it."
Chris: "Yeah."
Me: "Aren't you gonna go to bed?"
Chris: "I don't know about that."
Me: "What about work tomorrow?"
Chris: "I don't know about that either."
Me: "You can't call in sick for a new tv."
Chris: "You haven't seen it."
You Learn
That was always one of my favorite songs. But it's 4 billion times better in this version. I am loving this!
jagged little pill acoustic
It came out yesterday and if you read the article I posted a few days ago, you would know that it was only available at Starbucks for like 6 weeks and then it will be on sale at "regular" stores. I am not a big Starbucks person, but you think that stopped me from going and getting it? Nope. I am listening to it as we speak. It's so freaking good. Now I really can't wait for the show. The tickets came in the mail yesterday! Beck - Have a great time! I am so jealous. I have to wait a whole month now. You will love it!
Yesterday, not only did we buy the tv, but we went to the mall and went to the Sanrio store. For those not in the know, Sanrio is the company that makes Hello Kitty and other characters. This store sells only Sanrio products and has tons of Hello Kitty stuff. I was in heaven. And even though it was sort of a pain that Chris was with me, he did keep me from spending tons of money there. I did buy a few little things. A couple pens, a key chain, some gardening gloves, a storage crate and some gum. Way cool. I love it. I told Chris if he ever needed a gift for me that anything in the store would work. So, it was actually at the mall that we went to Starbucks and bought the cd. I was actually planning on going to get it on Thursday, but when we walked by the Starbucks, I just ran it and bought it. No coffee, just the cd. The girl behind the counter did give me a second look when I said, "This is all for me." But whatever. She can bite me. I am not gonna drop that much money on coffee that I don't even want just to not feel weird or to avoid strange looks from the barista. Barista's are evil.
