so i fell down some stairs. not a lot of them. just a couple. i really thought when it happened that i probably broke my ankle b/c it made a nasty crunching sound. but i managed to get away with just an incredibly painful bruise on my forearm (it hit the edge of a step), a nasty bruise on the top of my foot and a bit of a limp. the moral of the story is pay attention when you're walking down stairs, dummy.
i'm trying to free myself from facebook. and my cell phone. my first step in this process was unsubscribing from every friend, so that my news feed has nothing to read. i've set up skype so that the facebook chat pops up over there so i don't have to be on the book to talk to people. i figure once i get unaddicted to facebook i will be less addicted to my cell phone. and then maybe i won't fall down stairs.
have i ever told you the story of the time someone asked me to be their girlfriend but he used a sock puppet to mediate the phone conversation? oh, life!
AHH! i want to buy a goldfish RIGHT NOW. quick, suggestions for names for my new fish... GO!

the bees are buzzing in the trees to make some honey just for me
i just got home from my run. i found a nice trail that is made of dirt and has shade from trees. this is all i'm looking for in a trail. it also has a lot of...
hills. i began the journey down on that street by those houses. the top of the hill was very windy and there were three hawks circling me and screeching. definitely added to the feeling of impending doom. i'm pretty proud that i actually got to the top. next time i will go further and try this...
but i didn't want to do it today b/c of the fear of that dark cloud and getting stuck in a flash flood. in real life that hill looked a lot less 'rolling' and a lot more 'running to your death,' fyi. in addition to the hawks that hated me i met some cows that didn't care either way.
i tried playing 'hey cow' with them but i didn't score a single point. 'hey cow' is a game micah taught me on our drive to indiana this last summer. basically, whenever you see a cow you yell 'hey cow!!!' and if it turns to look at you, you get a point. these cows were clearly on micah's team. i could have reached out and pet these cows, if i was a cow petting kind of person... which i'm not.
this last week has been rough, to say the least. april, my roommate from the last year i lived in virginia, was in a terrible car accident on monday. virginia got snow on sunday and monday morning on her way to work she hit a patch of ice and slid under a semi. long story short, she had surgery to repair her pelvis (which has several fractures) on friday. she is in good spirits but has a long recovery ahead of her. she will be in the hospital about another month and will be in a wheelchair for about 6 months. but the good news is, she is alive and handling it like a champ. april is a strong, lively, optimistic woman so i know she will pull through better than anyone else could. it's hard to be so far away during these times. life can, and does, change in an instant.
in other news, i have two jobs now. job one: i'm working for the international quidditch association as a member services coordinator. basically, i'm seeking out teams and getting them to join the league and making sure current members are happy with their membership. and now to cover the questions before you ask them: yes, i am serious. yes, people really play it. and no, they don't fly. further details can be found at: internationalquidditch.org. or check out videos on youtube. we have our first meeting tomorrow and i'm super excited.
job two: i'm working at disneyland as a host at innoventions. innoventions is a building near space mountain that showcases technology. i will be giving presentations in that building. my first official day of work is march 10. and now to cover the questions before you ask them: yes, my dreams are coming true. yes, i will try to switch over to the jungle cruise as soon as i'm able. and no, i don't have free tickets for you (unless i do. how will you ever know?!).
i got to skype with the eatons yesterday. i adore them. if anyone wants to skype... let me know! here's a thing that is totally unrelated to the previous thought, i really hate when people i've just met ask too many personal questions. i feel like everyone i meet lately is weird and grills me about my life and i want to poke their eyes out. i, however, love it when my friends ask me too many personal questions. and that's totally me not being sarcastic.
i got a library card b/c i wanted to reread the harry potter books in hopes that it would cheer me up. i checked out some calvin & hobbes and some peanuts and the first two potter books. i love books.
ooooh! it just started raining! i knew it!
my sister and i were trying to decide what the opposite of type a is. turns out, type b. also, it turns out type a probably doesn't mean what you think it does. and if it does mean what you think it does and you claim to be type a... you should probably stop talking to me b/c you crazy! so what is the word that is the opposite of a control freak but not a doormat? also why doesn't google have the answer for that already?
speaking of google, one time a salesperson tried to tell me that yahoo was the most popular search engine and i was like 'hold on, i need to yahoo that to see if it's true.' he didn't think that was very funny.
one final thought: DANCE MOMS.

don't you think the price of sugar is high enough now?
in the last day i've gotten some of the best dating insight. just in time for valentine's day!
"it's better to over laugh than under laugh... except when you're on a date." - jacob
i'm pretty sure finding a good laugh balance would be helpful for me. but i'm definitely not going to do it. people should just try being less funny, i guess.
and corey told me that when guys are talking about sports it's actually a metaphor for women and when they talk about women it's a metaphor for sports. i know this isn't true but it's going to make listening to guys talk about sports soooo much more entertaining.
i have my second interview and audition at disneyland on tuesday. fingers crossed, ladies and gentlemen.
so i'm planning to do the color run. go to thecolorrun.com for details. i'm planning to run it in so cal (irvine), seattle, portland and san fran. if you're near any of those places or would like to meet me in any of those places, please let me know. if i get a group of 4 together we get a discount on the entry fee. i believe i currently have 3 people (including myself) committed for each city... all i need is YOU!

shleeeepy
hey, it smells like skunk. also i'm using my tiny laptop... which makes it impossible for typing but makes me look like a giant. you win some, you lose some. additionally, i'm up and running on skype again. leave me a message if you want to get connected on there and i'll give you a skype tour of where i live.
my muscles from my shoulders to calves are sore. the park near my house has workout equipment in it. like next to the slide there are weight machines. i've done them twice this week and now i want to die. which is awesome! soon i will be buff and it will be all that park's fault.
tonight i made meat pies for dinner. i used to do that all the time when i was younger. but i made them fancy tonight with red onion and basil and cheese. it's like old times but fancy.
i really need to learn how to roller skate. and how to fall without getting hurt. but before i do any of that i need to get health insurance. these are all facts.

music
hey, so like, i totally know that the little music player on the side is super annoying but i love it b/c it's like a time capsule to the weird music i thought was awesome three years ago. b/c seriously i'm shocked by the randomness that pops up on there. it's like a musical tour of my own brain. so enjoy!
also, i've realized i use the word "also" a lot. you're welcome!

words words mumble mumble.
ok, so i've been watching a lot of 30 rock which always messes up my brain. it makes me start talking funny and convinces me that jokes about food are hilarious outside of the sitcom world (which they generally are not). anyway in the last couple days i've watched half of season 4, season 5 and the new episodes of season 6. i took a big break from 30 rock b/c when i was watching it on the reg it convinced me to dye my hair dark brown (which i did again anyway...) and made me think it was ok to eat entire boxes of ding dongs. i'm glad i've caught up but i'm pretty sure it's going to take a couple weeks to get through the aftermath.
also, does anyone have a giant picture of food i could hang on my wall? or maybe a 3d art sculpture of spaghetti? yeah, that's definitely what i actually want. wall mounted spaghetti.
what's the deal with dr who? everybody always talks about how awesome it is. some of my favorite things are space and time travel but whenever i watch i'm like dr who? i just don't get it. someone please help me like this show. i really want to be into it!
this dog who lives here looks like a tiny lucky dragon and cries all the time. it's pretty much the most depressing thing ever. i'm like, dog stop crying and lay by the fireplace. also try not to snore anymore.
i want to start this next paragraph by saying i love my guy friends... my dude pals... my brocimusmaximuses. and i want to end it by saying why do i never talk to girls anymore?!?
i feel like i go through phases where i only ever talk to dudes. and that's awesome. but then i sometimes want to talk about dudes and then i'm like oh dang i don't have any female friends, whaaa happened? and it's not that i don't have female friends... i do! but they seem to not stay up late at night. also the time difference between california and the east coast ruins everything. also, why doesn't anyone in california want to eat ice cream with me?!? and by "anyone in california" i mean you, mom!
i began my new job today. i don't have very many words about my place of employment that i can say here in case it turns out a million people secretly read this. the end.
btw, DANIEL LU I MISS YOU. i really wish i could remember how you make a haiku b/c it seems like that is probably a good start to one. internets...
hey there daniel lu
little dan where you at, bro
this sucks i miss you
dang. i really hope little dan reads this. b/c that was awesome.
someone send help. i'm clearly not getting enough social interaction and i've had the cheers theme song stuck in my head for DAYS.
