Once you've been tagged, you have to write a blog with 6 weird facts/things/habits about yourself, saying who tagged you. In the end you need to choose the 6 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs.

1. You know when you tie a straw wrapper into a knot and pull it taut, how if it makes a clean break, someone is thinking of you? I seriously, swear to God, believe it's true.

2. I have never ever ever given any of my friends a Christmas present on time. I have gifts for Kim and Katie sitting on my floor from Christmas 2004, right next to the ones from 2005 which i haven't even wrapped yet.

3. I don't like The Eagles. At all.

4. I still sleep with Flossie and Mr. Bear on my bed.

5. I really really like kissing guys with stubble even though it hurts afterwards.

6. When I was a kid, I had a superior fashion sense. I was particularly fond of the "plaid skirt over pink sweatpants with Princess Leia T-shirt" look

I tag...

Ok, sorry for the last post. That was kinda whiney.
So, here are the good things in my life right now: Have scheduled trip to Barnes & Noble and Best Buy tomorrow after work (yes, when you live in a place like Mottville you need to schedule trips like that); Am going to the Niles Haunted House tomorrow night (yay! so much fun!); My fanfic is coming along quite nicely thank you very much; and finally, I'm reading the Titus Crow books by Brian Lumley. v. good.

Have you ever found that there are things that are just hard to get over? Or you think you're over it, you've dealt, you've moved on, but then you find that you're just drowning your sorrows in lots of Draco/Ginny fanfiction (or by writing lots of bad Severus/Hermione fanfic)?
Ok ok, I'm done. Sorry to be such a downer :)

the guy that wrote that quiz was way too preachy.

boys are stupid.

bah!

Well-Read Indeed! Take that, Mrs. McGreevey! You scored 250 of 290!

Wow! OK, some of those were really tricky--but you made it through! Not only would you pass most lit courses, you probably thought about being an English major. Actually, with those numbers, you might be a grad student! Have you given any thought to a PhD? You know they confer omniscience with those, right? Then on the margin of the world I sit and think 'til Love and Fame to nothingness do shrink.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on litpoints

last week was soooooo bad. am holding out hope for this week.

laura, when can i come visit you? finish your &#*$!$, you great brilliant bitch, you! love you, my dearest.

You're an emo kid at heart. Poetry and sad love
songs appeal to you. Depression might be a word
often linked to your name. Usually you can be
found sitting in your room humming along to
Senses Fail or Thrice. So you're not a little
hellion and a trouble maker, but you're one
step below. Rock on Emo Generation. :)


True Punk Rocker? Emo kid at heart? Or solid hardcore poser?

I'm sure it's no big surprise to you that your
romance is The Princess Bride. A heartwarming
tale of "Twue Wuve" that has giants,
Spainards and swashbuckling. You really do
think that love can overcome anything. You may
be a touch naive but your heart is certainly in
the right place. You've probably got one of
those relationships where proper nouns have
been replaced with "Snookums" and
"Pookie Pie". Eww. Beware a cuteness
overload.

No more secret boyfriend. Goodbye secret boyfriend. It's been fun :(

seriously suspect i'm actually getting a crush on my secret boyfriend. not good. not good.
responses so far:

Jess: yeah, i might have just a little crush on him.
Mom: that is not a good idea. not at all. just, don't.

majik314: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
majik314: I was hoping it wasnt him
JeccaLou9: see! see you said it! i knew you were going to say it!!!!!!!!!

I love Katie and Laura. I just do.

Just in case you all wondered how Laura and I spent our four years in college:

beatlehippieL: as I am wearing all black, what eye makeup do I go for?
beatlehippieL: subtle browns, or slightly sparkly greys/silvers
beatlehippieL: ?
JeccaLou9: is it dressy black or casual black? what are you doing for your lips?
beatlehippieL: quasi-dressy black (skirt, sparkly jewelry)
JeccaLou9: if you're going out out, then i would go for slightly sparkly greys/silvers. subtle browns are not conducive to a party atmosphere
beatlehippieL: lips are whatever
beatlehippieL: you know me
beatlehippieL: probably clear gloss
JeccaLou9: oh, then def. grey/silver eyes. okay dude, put some color on your lips, blot it two times, then apply clear gloss. you are not a vampire.
beatlehippieL: le sigh
beatlehippieL: I only have red-red or almost-the-colour-of-my-lips color
beatlehippieL: which one?
JeccaLou9: oh laura kraly you make me laugh. as always. this is rather like college. only my makeup is not spread out over the bathroom. okay then try this: red-red, blot THREE times, then clear gloss
JeccaLou9: but only if the silver grey eyes are not DARK silver grey eyes
JeccaLou9: i'm like the mother fucking martha stewart of makeup
beatlehippieL: they are silvery-grey
beatlehippieL: light
beatlehippieL: not even eyeliner
JeccaLou9: if the color turns out too pink for you, then take a lip brush or q-tip and apply another coat of red over the gloss, then blend. repeat gloss.
beatlehippieL: and yes, this is exactly like college
JeccaLou9: good. i'm morally opposed to eyeliner and red lipstick

Love her. LOVE HER!

beatlehippieL: well, want to move to L.A? I promise we won't shag in your bed :-)
beatlehippieL: (instantly wants to take that joke back)

In chronological order:

1. As I'm walking into work today, I hear this very loud horn blaring. I look to the right and sure enough, the Pepsi Guy is honking and waving at me from US 131. Still not sure how I feel about that.
2. Regan at work called me Jessie. She's a nice person, so I decided not to bite her head off.
3. Kent the pharmacist and Laura got married!
4. Not Laura Kraly.
5. Wilson pissed me off because he can be so damned bitchy sometimes.
6. I think Kent thinks I have a crush on Wilson, but I DO NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry, I hate excessive use of exclamation points. The circumstances warranted an exclamatory overabundance.)
7. Kent, apparently, told Adam who I used to work with that he needed to call me (a couple weeks ago). And so I said "Why?" and Kent was like "I thought I would help." and I was like "umm...help what?" and Kent was like "your love life" and I was like "Adam is not my love life!!! Oh my God Kent" and he was like "oh. well, sorry." so, given that he's a newlywed I was like "well, no harm no foul"
8. Discovered that Wilson and I share similar musical tastes, in some ways. I was teasing him, because he knows the words to all the walgreens songs, and he was singing to me (badly and with enthusiasm). And I challenged him to define his taste in music, as i hoped it didn't run toward awful easy listening type tunes. Well, he was all "you've probably never heard of any of the groups I like" and I was like "oh whatever, try me!" and he was all "well, like Taking Back Sunday" and I made a sound akin to a shriek and was like "OMG I LOVE TAKING BACK SUNDAY" and he was all "do you really?" and I was like "Duh, if you looked in my Livejournal, you'd see the entry with "Music" labeled "Lots and lots of Taking Back Sunday""
And so I was all "Do you like Thursday?" And we both like the Ataris. And I was just like that's awesome. It was like when I found out Mr. McLochlin liked metal (completely surprising for a man who visited the longaberger basket factory with his family on vacation).
9. I looked hot today. Like, way hot.
10. and finally (and most importantly) my back is starting to feel better! Yay!

Love from the Flipside,
J
