And that's what losers do on Friday night.

Ooh! Take this. We'll find out how if you really are my friend. ;)

I think you can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat people they think don't matter.
People in the service industry, for example.
If you treat your waiter/waitress/bartender/cleaning lady/store clerk/gas station attendant/what-have-you like they are a total idiot...well, I already have my opinion of you.
It seems lately in my experience I have noticed this a lot. People being very unkind to cashiers and waiters and such. As a store clerk, I get very offended by this. Excuse me, but just because I am a store clerk does NOT mean that I have the IQ of a grapefruit.
I challenge you to an IQ test any day. Punk.
Anyway, this is my rant today, since I witnessed a guy being a royal pain in the derriere to the cashier today at the grocery store.
Oh! That brings me to another point.
Just because we're young, that does NOT mean we're idiots. It makes me want to scream when I tell someone the answer to a question they've just asked, and they seem hesitant to believe me...but when someone 20, 30 years older than me tells them the same damn thing, they believe them.
Hello? Didn't I just say that? Oh, I did? And so did she? Well, then, that means I was right, now doesn't it?
Argh!

Moral of today's story:
If you are not nice to the young people in the service industry, I will, without doubt, consider you an absolute ninny. I will scowl, I will shoot you a look, I will glare, and I might even snarl.
Because you, my friend, are a first-class nincompoop.

That's all.

Well, the radio show was actually relatively painless. The bishop was there (which I didn't plan on - I thought they said he would not be there!). He was very kind to me, and was excited to find that I go to Loras. He graduated from there 52 years ago. :) Anyway, the show went just peachy - the questions weren't too difficult, really. And I got the opportunity to talk about how awesome I think religious are - and how we need more of them - and how spending time with them is one of the coolest experiences a person could ever have.
Or something like that. :)

I also bought a new Jack Johnson CD. I am in love with his music. It's nothing new, really. I just rebelled against it for a while, since everyone liked it (I'm like that). It's so good, though!

And, my hair looks better. It's not quite where I'd like it to be, but it's better.
Any improvement is welcome.

That's all I've got for now. Just a quick update.

Over and out.

I cut my hair again tonight. I cut it last fall (I posted about it then, but I'm not in the mood to research and link it, so just believe me, or do your own research). It's about at my shoulders, and is curling nicely. That was the problem. The curls were dreadful. Hooray for letting my hair be itself again.

I saw a very interesting movie tonight. It was on the Oxygen channel (I know, I know, but just stay with me). It's on tomorrow night (Monday) at 7pm central, if anyone's interested. It was called "Banshee." There's really nothing moral about the movie, but it will make you think. The main character was actually a pretty sweet character - she's so fiesty. I love fiesty.

I have a new car.
Sort of.
My parents bought a new car, so I inherited theirs, since the JMJ-mobile is/was behaving quite poorly lately. I'm very excited for my new car. It's got a sunroof! And air conditioning! And doors that work!! Ah, it's very exciting!

Lyrics for the day are from Creed:
"Wash Away Those Years"

"Well I guess she closed her eyes
And just imagined everything's alright
But she could not hide her tears
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years
They were sent to wash away those years"

This song says what most cannot.

Well, I better sleep soon.
Radio show tomorrow.
Barf.

David Hasselhoff time.

Because he's so washed-up that it's funny.

I laugh seeing him do this Rhinestone Cowboy number, because my dad sings this song. (don't ask)

And this one...well, I laughed out loud. A lot. It's probably the closest I'll ever come to knowing what tripping on acid is like. Weeeird stuff going on here.

And um, Secret Agent Man. I don't have any words for this one.

Hell, just watch them all.

And while you're at it, you might as well watch this one. It ties it all together. Somehow.

Oh my. This is amazing. It's kind of long, but you won't regret reading it. I promise.

And her name is Gianna. Which makes my heart smile. :)

The #1 worst fear amongst people these days?
public speaking

And guess what I'm doing Monday?
public speaking

I get knots in my stomach thinking about it. Argh. I have to be on live radio (it's AM). On the bishop's show. I won't be on with the bishop, though. He's not going to be there. Me and a really important guy will be doing the show. I have to talk about the vocation camp that I'm not going to go to this year (because of Wicked...ha).
This is going to be dreadful.
Anyway, for any of you in the area, I'll be ok 1440 WROK from 10:30-11am on Monday, June 26.
Listen in and laugh at me when I sound like a goon.
Good grief. I feel like Moses, without an Aaron.

I just booked my tickets to see Wicked with my mom!!! Hoo hoo!!

I cannot wait!!

Wednesday, July 12th at 2pm in Chicago! And we're in the Orchestra section!!
Also, you know what this means... L RIDE!! I love riding the L. It's like, the ultimate best part of Chicago. Okay, maybe not quite, but I do love it. It's dirty, it's creepy, it's amazing. :)

Today the local Christian station was playing some pretty sweet music. And I heard a song by Matthew West that I absolutely love and haven't heard or thought of in a while. It was neat hearing it again, almost as if for the first time. Lyrics as follows:

"More" by Matthew West
Take a look at the mountain
Stretching a mile high
Take a look at the ocean
Far as your eye can see
And think of me

Take a look at the desert
Do you feel like a grain of sand?
I am with you wherever
Where you go is where I am
And I'm always thinking of you
Take a look around you
I'm spelling it out one by one

I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine and you shine for me too
I love you
Yesterday
And today
And tomorrow
I'll say it again and again
I love you more

Just a face in the city
Just a tear on a crowded street
But you are one in a million
And you belong to me
And I want you to know
I'm not letting go
Even when you come undone

Chorus

Shine for me
Shine for me
Shine on, shine on
Shine for me

Chorus


Ah, I love that song! It's so perfect! It's a great song because you can totally relate to it no matter how you're feeling. It's a great happy song, it's a great sad song, it's just a great song.

And by the way, my mom and I are looking to buy tickets to see Wicked in Chicago (finally), and I'm getting excited! Woot! I love Chicago, and I've been wanting to see Wicked for a while.

"I'm through accepting limits/Cause someone says they're so/Some things I cannot change/But til I try I'll never know!" (from "Defying Gravity")

Hoo ha!

Oh, and this day wouldn't be complete without a bit of this:
"Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui
Genitori genitoque
Laus et jubilatio
Salus, honor, virtus, quoque
Sit et benedictio
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.
Amen."

Happy Corpus Christi, y'all!


Okay, time for shenangians elsewhere.

If this doesn't make your eyes cross, I'm not sure what will.

I mean...I just don't understand their logic. Was death unforeseen in this instance?
And shouldn't society at large be shutting down all abortion *clinics* based on this logic?
It really leaves very little work for pro-lifers when the pro-aborts confound everyone, including themselves.



In other news, my roommate Melinda has beautiful eyes.

Okay so it's near midnight when I'm driving down my street, nearing my driveway. There's a police car in front of me, and the car coming toward me from the other direction is a black car with its lights off, going like 3 mph. The police car just kept driving, and I was completely creeped out! I sat in my car (once I pulled into my driveway, where this all basically took place) until this car was out of sight.
What a creeper!

I need to move to Mayberry.

Okay, so let's just start this off right:
Me: Hello, my name is Angela, and I have a music addiction.
Now you say: Hello, Angela.

So yesterday I had a rough day. The solution? Hit the music section at Target. Was it effective? Most definitely. I bought Jack Johnson's "In Between Dreams" and I am in love. I have listened to it over and over for I don't even know how long. It's so good! Ah! I love music!

But seriously, how can you not love music with lyrics like this:
"Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart/Why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard?"

"We're shocking but we're nothing/We're just moments, we're clever but we're clueless/We're just human, amusing and confusing/We're helping, rebuilding and we're growing"

"When your mind is a mess so is mine I can't sleep/Because it hurts when I think when my thoughts aren't at peace/With the plans that we make and the chances we take/They're not yours they're not mine/There are waves that can break/All the words that we said and the words that we mean/Because the world is awake so for somebody's sake/Now please close your eyes/Woman, please get some sleep"

"It's really too bad/He became a prisoner of his own past/He stabbed the moment in the back with a round thumbtack/That held up the list of things he got to do/It's really no good/He's moving on before he understood/He shot the future in the foot with every step he took/From the places that he's been because he forgot to look/He better staple it together and call it bad weather" (I LOVE that imagery!)

"But you can't stop nothing if you got no control/Of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know/That you don't know nothing but you don't need to know"

And the inspiration for what I'm doing as I write this:
"Maybe we could sleep in/I'll make you banana pancakes/Pretend like it's the weekend now/And we could pretend it all the time"

We didn't have any bananas in my house, so I'm rewriting it so it's "Strawberry Pancakes." Haha. Same difference, really. (?) I am making strawberry pancakes, having slept in, and I'm totally pretending it's the weekend. I haven't even thought of getting out of my pajamas yet. It's 1:30pm. :) Ahhh I love days off. And Jack Johnson.

I have been thinking of Henry David Thoreau's words -
"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation, and go to the grave with the song still in them."
I want to make my life the polar opposite of them. It's not working so well, but hey, as long as I keep at it, that's got to mean something...right?

"Another fall, and what a fall! Must you give up hope? No. Humble yourself and, through Mary, your Mother, have recourse to the merciful Love of Jesus. A miserere, and lift up your heart! And now begin again."
-St. Josemaria Escriva (um, wow.)

"Stand" by Rascal Flatts
You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless, like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright
You'll be alright

Chorus:
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend 'til you break
Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand, then you stand

Life's like a novel with the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon with only one way down
Take what you're given before it's gone
And start holdin' on, keep holdin' on

Repeat Chorus

Every time you get up and get back in the race
One more small piece of you starts to fall into place - yeah


I like that. It's a good song for me right now. It's amazing to me, how music, especially country music, nearly always has the right lyric for exactly what is on my heart. I don't know how the words of someone I've never met (and most likely never will) can be the words of my heart. So strange to me. And yet, so beautiful. It's the human experience in all its universality...

Oh humanity, and your frailty.

It's Friday. Weird, since it seems like it was just Monday. Time goes so fast, I swear.

The summer has been nice for the low-key side of me. For instance, last night I got off work, came home, had a nice dinner with the familia, then watched "Sense and Sensibility" (which I got from Netflix). It was grand, really. I want to live in a Jane Austen novel. I wish times were still like that. I understand that that eliminates indoor plumbing and a lot of rights for women (the whole inheritance thing was rough back then, thus the premise of "Sense and Sensibility"); however, I just think that if people treated each other like like they did back then in this day and age, things would be a lot better. We'd be happier...I'm sure of it.

Aaand the lyrics of today come from two of my absolute favorites: Jennifer Knapp and Keith Urban.
Jennifer first.
"Fall Down"
Judge me not ye saints
For my history may be tainted
But I'm sober enough to know blood when I see it
I've borne my share of stones
Most of them easily thrown
But who's to deny your water-shed side leading me home?

Ohhh what am I supposed to do about it now?
Past regrets and long laments, they find me somehow.
Oh what am I supposed to do about it now?
What have I to do but fall down?

To spy from far away
May seem that I'm one to betray
But O how I try
The Spirit to guide
The promise you made

Ohhh what am I supposed to do about it now?
Past regrets and long laments, they find me somehow
Oh what am I supposed to do about it now?
What have I to do but fall down?

Hold me up
Never let me go
Love me when I'm broken
And speak to me


Ahhhh good song. And next we have Keith:
"Nobody Drinks Alone"
You brought that bottle home in a paper sack
Drew the blinds and locked the doors
And there's nothing but empty there inside that glass
So you pour a little more
And there's no one there to judge you
At least that's what you tell yourself, but

Don't you know
Nobody drinks alone
Every demon, every ghost
From your past
And every memory you've held back
Follows you home
Nobody drinks alone

Wow. The power of lyrics.
Just...wow.


Okay, that's it for now! I'm out to Barnes and Nobles to get my yuppie Starbucks coffee fix. And for a full explanation of yuppie, and all the types of yuppification, check out our good friend, Wikipedia.

Now what's there not to love? Oh stereotypes. :)

Tonight's music is provided by our friend Michael Buble.

"And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
That this is not your dream
But you always believed in me

[...]

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home,
Oh, I miss you, you know."

Ahh, Michael. :)


So tonight I was just sitting around with my mom watching TV, and the phone rings. I'm informed that it's tiki torch night, and I need to be ready in 5 minutes. So I get myself ready, grab the margarita mix I got for my birthday, run outside to meet the girls, and we go off to get some tequila. Mmmm. In addition to the tequila we got some cigars. Then we ate some Italian sausage, sat outside on the patio, listened to Jack Johnson, drank margaritas, smoked cigars, and played "War" (don't ask). We finished "War," made some more margaritas, lit up another cigar (this time using the tiki torch to light them), and talked about life. We laughed, we pondered, we bonded. It was beautiful, really.
Thank God for the girls. :)

In the words of the great Rolling Stones:
"You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need."

So begins our journey through Rusty and my trip to Nashville. There are a lot of pictures of Rusty since it was my camera, and I was the one taking pictures. The trip should give you a pretty good idea of what it's like to be me and to be random. I didn't take as many pictures as I should have, but I think it'll suffice.

To begin: this is me. And I'm getting into the limo that we were taking to the airport. My neighbor across the street owns it. That's my neighbor's house in the background. Not the limo-owning neighbor...just a random neighbor.
This is Rusty getting into the limo. He's holding "Tommy Boy." The plan was to watch the movie on the way to the airport, and laugh at all the funny traveling moments. There are plenty to laugh at. It's probably one of the funniest movies to quote .... ever.
So then we're driving down I-90 on the way to Chicago, and we slow down to get through the tollbooth, and the WHEEL FLIES OFF THE FORSAKEN LIMO! I mean, went shooting off! It soared. No joke. Then the axel was grinding on the ground, and sparks were flying, and we came to a screeching halt, and there was smoke, and colorful language...dear dear dear.
This is Rusty with the tire, after my dad retrieved it from the side of the road after a police officer pulled up, informed us the tire was about a block back, and drove away. Thank you for protecting and serving, Officer. Gosh.
Anyway, as my dad was walking down to get the tire, the punks driving along the highway were getting pretty dang close to the car. And I'm thinking "Okay, perfect. We're stuck in an awkward spot, and all we really need is for someone to smash into the back of us, and send us sailing into traffic or the highway divider wall." So I get out and stare at the cars going by so they don't get so close (they could totally help it...they were punks). And then this car gets all close to me, like they wanted to take me out, so I throw my hands up and start yelling, and Rusty is laughing, not sure what to do. I guess they don't fight like this in Nebraska. City girls are always ready to open a can. :)

Turns out the emergency highway people don't really like it when you are walking down the highway in the left lane, going the wrong direction. Hmm. So my dad got picked up on his way to go get the tire that the policeman told us about. And this is him getting out of the vehicle. You can kinda sorta see his head getting out of the passenger side.
The driver of this vehicle...we called him "Hank", even though I have no idea what his real name is...was the kind of person that definitely hates his life. He needed a good hug, a good cup of joe, some chocolate and a good Keith Urban song. I mean, come on man...lighten up. He yelled at me for getting out of the car to put my coat on. And he yelled at my dad for being in the way of traffic (um, hi, if we could move the car...WE WOULD!) Get a grip, sir.

So then, despite our best efforts, we missed our flight. We were very happy about that, as you can tell by the picture.
Onward!

And we finally got on the airplane. There was much rejoicing.This is the view from my room. It was beautiful. Obviously.
And the chapel, which is breath-taking. I couldn't get enough of looking around at everything, in awe. It's beautiful.
And then we left St. Cecilia's. And we were walking down the street, and lo and behold, our friend Jack showed up. So we took a picture together. :)Continue on for more madness...

Rusty at the honky-tonk in Nashville. Those are our Grateful Dead drinks. I looked right at it and my voice got all quivery as I wondered aloud, "Where have you been all my life?" :)
This is me in front of the Grand Old Opry. I am obviously very excited to be there. Ha.
Rusty gazing lovingly at Tammy Wynette. Oh how dear she is to our hearts. ::Sighhhh::


Rusty being goofy looking at the Aquarium. That's the restaurant we went to for lunch. It was amazing. Nothing like Captain Morgan at noon. :)
And this concludes our trip! And what a trip it was.
Yes, a trip that will never be forgotten. Ever.

My loserness has been duly noted.

I'm sitting at home on Saturday night, having just visited the campground where my grandparents stay while they're in town (they're snowbirds), looking forward to watching a movie with my parents and retiring early tonight.
Wow. It's only been a few weeks since being at Loras.
Dear me.

The fun part of tonight was definitely when I got home from working for 8 hours, and my mom asked if I'd like to go out to eat (which is HUGE in my family...we don't go out...ever.). Then she said we were going to Dos Reales (okay, even when we do go out, we never go out for Mexican!). Then when we were there she said she was going to get a margarita (which never happens either...my mom doesn't believe in paying what restaurants ask for drinks), and then I got to get one too! Holy cats! Nothing like a surprise, free margarita! Hoorah!

Today at work I was helping an old lady put a heavy box in her trunk, when I closed the trunk on my finger. It bled right away...I must have really got it in there good. It was like the falling-up-the-stairs incident from the other day, where it shocked me, then I realized I was in pain a bit later. Anyway, that's two work-related injuries in the first week I've been back.
I'm thinking I'm not looking like a huge asset to the company. ;) I'm more of a liability!
(we just won't mention the time I broke the $800 crucifix...) Oops!

And the theme song of the week: Sugarland's "Baby Girl". Rusty and I hear this song nearly every time we're together, and we heard it at the honky-tonk on Music Row (when we were drinking our amazing Grateful Dead's). I just love these lyrics.

"Dear Mom and Dad,
Please send money, I'm so broke that it ain't funny
Well I don't need much, just enough to get me through
Please don't worry 'cause I'm alright
I'm playing here at the bar tonight
Well, this time I'm gonna make our dreams come true
Well I love you more than anything in the world,
Love,
Your Baby Girl"

And then there's the lyric that goes: "Remember me in ribbons and curls" - and um, hello...that's totally me. I still wear ribbons in my hair. Not as often, but I do. :)

And another set of lyrics from our studly Australian cowboy:
"Cause days go by
I can feel 'em flying like a hand out the window in the wind
And cars go by
Yeah it's all we've been given
So you better start livin' right now
Cause days go by

{...}

So take 'em by the hand
They're yours and mine
Take 'em by the hand
And live your life.
Take 'em by the hand
Don't let 'em all fly by.

I heart Keith Urban. :)

Oh man. I'm the biggest loser, ever. Today at work, I was redoing the bookshelves, and decided I needed one of those slot things that holds pamphlets/thin books without spines really well, so I went off in search of one. I couldn't find any, despite my best efforts, and was getting kind of frustrated. So I asked someone if they knew where to find one, and she found 7 of them! Hoorah! I was so excited that I tried to run up the concrete and metal stairs.
Yeah, that was a good idea.
I totally bit it...hard. Right there on the stairs. Slam. It was terribly embarrassing. So I got up as fast as I could, and ran away.
Then I realized "Hey, wait, your arms are really stinging!"
So I looked at them.
Yep, my right arm had some pretty awesome scrapes on it, and was starting to bleed. My left arm looked better, with just a minor scrape.
Then my co-worker asked me for help with a transaction.
So I'm standing there with her, with my scraped arms stinging, trying to figure out a situation at the register. That wasn't happening.
Then I realized "Hey, wait, your thumb hurts too!"
Yeah, it had a huge slice in it, and was bleeding, too.
I think I might have something wrong with my pain receptors...is it supposed to take that long to realize you're in pain?
Anyway...I went to the back office to get some stuff to doctor myself up with. But I couldn't find any. So I asked another co-worker if he could help me.
He laughed at me.
Then he helped me.
Then I went to find Tanya, who was the one who helped me find the shelving things in the first place. She laughed at me, too. She was like "Angela! I heard you fall, and I yelled to find out if you were okay!! Why did you not respond?!"
And I laughed, and said, "Um, well, I was embarrassed, so I ran away"
It was quite a laugh fest, as she bandaged me up.
Now, 7 band-aids and a lot of ointment later, I'm feeling better.
I look like a 6 year old who fell off her bike, but hey, I'm cool with that.

Oy vey. I'm the least graceful person I know.
