play it again pamie

my fictional hero is liz lemon. my non fiction hero is pamela ribon. pamela ribon is probably as close to a real life lemon as you're going to get... as far as i can tell. pamela wrote 'why girls are weird' and keeps a blog at pamie.com. she is also a derby girl. if you know me at all or have spent much time with me you probably have heard me talk about my secret desire to join the derby. i don't know that it will ever actually happen but i would love if it did. ::sigh:: anyway pam hasn't been keep up on the blog and it makes me cry. what can you do? as a side note, pam was my hero first... for like the last 5 years. i haven't decided yet if i love lemon b/c she reminds of pam or if i just happen to want to be like both of them independent from each other.

in other news, it's almost the weekend. i honestly don't know where the time goes these days. two days ago was our 6 month anniversary... 6 months since the store opened. how is it possible that much time has passed?! at the beginning of this month i had my 4 year anniversary with dave & buster's (ps i know it's depressing that my anniversaries are with work... what can you do?). in the grand scheme of the world 4 years isn't a long time. however, in the life of a 25 year old who has only been working since she was 18, it's a very long time.

today ann & i were talking about when my contract would be up for this location. it's up in early march, i believe. though i don't have any plans for leaving virginia any time soon. i like it here. still. ha. surprising, i know. maybe i'm getting old or something.

the other night we watched 'it.' still not as scary as everybody thinks it is. i didn't even have any nightmares. shoot, even 'bones' gives me nightmares! however, i didn't remember how ridiculously long that movie is! it's 187 minutes, which is over three hours and not 2 hours and 20 minutes (people aren't good at math at midnight, i guess).

sylvie goes to a new home on monday. PLEASE, PLEASE if you love me or animals at all, please, do not allow me to ever get another pet besides a gold fish. if i ever ask you 'should i purchase a ::insert animal type here:: ?' say to me 'good gracious elaina get a grip on reality and drop the animal for the love of all that is good in the world!' it may also be appropriate to slap me at that point depending on how determined i look. please.

i want to go to ca this weekend but that's not going to happen. i don't think i will be in ca until january. my plan is to be there after baby boy stone is born. for the holidays i will probably sit on my couch drinking eggnog and eating pizza. or maybe i'll go to florida. it's hard to say at this point.

one last note: guys are confusing. hmmm.
