dear beyonce, only buzz is allowed to say to infinity and beyond.
so tuesday morning ann & i went to this networking mixer thing for the chamber. it was at ridiculously early o'clock in the morning but it was at the new hilton so i was set on going. side note, the new hilton is really beautiful but seriously this area has WAY too many hotels. i feel bad for the sales managers at these places. in a five mile radius we probably have at least 15 hotels. shoot i can think of at least 5 that are two miles or less from the store!
anyway, we're at this meeting and basically they go around and you have 30 seconds to introduce yourself and say what you do. i told ann we could stand up together and i would do all the talking since this was her first time and it's a lot of pressure to having 50+ adults looking at you (i typically forget what i'm supposed to say, turn bright red and then yell something embarrassing... like 'i'll be your personal ambassador to fun!' and then people are like uhmm what do you do?!). my experience at this event made me realize that my calling in life is actually to do stand up comedy for old business men. who would have thought?! long story short we stood up and i introduced us as dave and buster from dave & buster's and then the people were practically rolling on the floor. i doubt that joke will ever again get such a reaction. people were throwing their hats in the air. if they had babies with them they would've have been throwing their babies. i think someone even threw some confetti. it was just the oddest thing in the entire world... mostly because i don't think that joke is very funny. in fact if i'm ever working an offsite event and there is someone there with me, i ALWAYS get asked 'which one is dave and which one is buster?' by the end of the event by some old business man. i guess that joke is just really big with old business men.
i don't know why i had the desire to tell that story.
i've been soda and fried food free for about a week and a half now. take that soda and fried foods! my next goal is to get into a regular exercise routine. i'd love to start riding my bike again. hey virginia, do you hear that? i want to ride my bike... stop being FREEZING COLD. to quote ann, 'it's right cold here.'
tomorrow we have a lunch meeting at the chamber offices. i love the chamber office because it's in the business district of downtown richmond and going there makes me feel like mary tyler moore. i love the feel of the city when i'm there. i love walking down the streets and pretending i work there. every time i'm there i fall more in love with the city and buys virginia a few more months of my life (dear virginians, if you want me to stay here forever, when ever i start talking about leaving take me to downtown to walk around).
the other day i decided to show some of the girls some of my high school notebooks. i think i was trying to prove how undorky i am now by comparing it to how dorky i used to be. this meant i need to find my collages of elijah wood pictures. it was actually pretty entertaining to read and see the stuff i put together. it was like looking at a little time capsule to elaina 10 years ago. a lot of it ridiculously funny. some of it was really sad. and some of it just made me shake my head. some of the highlights:
1. a drawing of 'the super wholesome squad' the super hero duo of laurel and me aka scarlet fever and mysteria.
2. a list of favorite memories which included things like 'the time nichelle and robert rolled down the stairs together' and 'dropping alan on his head'
3. the journal entries... oh the journal entries. mostly they seem to be entirely random little blurbs of life from the particular day. for example:
tuesday 4/23/2002
"Never judge a book by it's movie." J.W. Eagan
Today I kidnapped Laurel and my sister and we went to Disneyland. It was a lot of fun! There was this fun boy who asked for our autographs, and we made Top Ramen. We went to Mimi's afterwards and we had a fun waiter.
tuesday 4/9/2002
"To be a champion you must believe you are the best. If you are not, pretend you are. " Muhammad Ali
We practiced for DTASC. Othello. *hahaha*
Omar said "I like cross dressing a lot" he was talking about mixing brands of clothes but it was funny x 1000!
In all reality we didn't really practice. I stood on the dock and talked with Omar and Perris a lot. It was nice x 1000.
I walked home today just for fun. For the last mile I walked with just one shoe on and the last 1/4 mile no shoes at all.
wednesday 3/6/2002
-I'm really afraid of Dana. Today at lunch Laurel and I were walking around and she said "I had a funny dream" and basically comes down to she asks Jeff if he loves Nichelle and he said yes so she shoots her. And I was like that's NOT funny Dana, and she said well you know who I'll be shooting tonight. And I'm afraid of her. She's crazy.
- Jeyzel is cool! Today after first period he walked by and said something and I gave him this little wire guy I had found. Then today at lunch he was walking with me and Laurel and talking to us a lot. Then later he was behind us again but like coming from the opposite direction. It was SO scary! He's fun and magic!
- At lunch Laurel was sitting on the ground and I was standing and we were talking and this random girl walks up and is like what are you doing and sits down next to her. We both were like WHAT THE?!? It was so funny. It was a very weird lunch today.
4. all the random notes from people and pictures i have taped throughout. it's just interesting to see all of it.
5. the life time line i wrote that puts me married to elijah wood, with a house in la and one in london with elijah jr on the way at this point in life. dream big, little elaina, dream big.
at any rate, the entire thing is pretty entertaining to me. some day i'm going to sit down and read through all of it. maybe submit some to mortified.com. if i ever have the opportunity to do a talent show, i do believe i will do a dramatic reading of these things.

and lots of wavy hair like liberace
so my laptop has this habit that makes me crazy. it freezes up whenever it a. pops up a message saying i need to update something or b. someone instant messages me on facebook. it makes me nuts b/c for what seems like an eternity my computer is useless and i have to sit there guessing whether it's going to be a lame update reminder or if someone wants to talk to me. and if i think someone wants to talk to me... is it someone awesome or someone not awesome? it's like this mean game my laptop plays... kind of like laptop russian roulette.
i gave up soda for my new year's resolution. i've been having the WORST caffeine withdrawal headaches for the last day (i stopped drinking soda yesterday). if i can get through these next few days, i'm never drinking soda again b/c i don't want to have to give it up again. or i might have to have my brain removed.
i went home to ca for christmas. i learned how to play settlers of catan. i also realized that i don't enjoy strategy games. no, that's not true. i enjoy strategy games... i'm just not any good at them. it's like that time we were playing scrabble on teams and joseph kept yelling at me 'PLAY WITH STRATEGY!' and i was just like uhmm, no, lets spell big words. at any rate, if anyone likes to win at strategy games, you should come play with me. i will happily play with you and you will happily destroy me at every game.
there are many good things in ca. i enjoy that you can safely walk to the mall from amber's house. you can walk any where you want from amber's house. it's AMAZING. you can't walk any where from my house. i had decided i was going to start walking to work to get some exercise. it's less than 2 miles from my house, so i figured i could do it a couple times a week, no problem. except there are no sidewalks or crosswalks for the two miles from my house to work. and i have to cross a freeway entrance and exit. why in the world would you build a city without sidewalks?! so then i thought, hey i could ride my bike and then i realized there are no bike lanes and i would have to cross a freeway entrance and exit. i'd be safer walking b/c honestly, i'm not very good at riding a bike... especially around cars. cars make me nervous. and i'm guessing there aren't places to lock up a bike at my work... especially since we don't even have a mailbox yet (what the what? STILL no mailbox! we have been open for almost a year!!!). oh and it's freezing here... which kind of destroys my will to live.
as a side note, i'd just like to say that dave & buster's specifically told me that it doesn't snow in richmond and that if it ever did it's the kind of snow that doesn't stick. i would like you all to know that they are liars. why do people always lie about the weather? the top three things people lie about: 1. weight 2. age 3. the weather. which is odd b/c those are all things that are pretty easy to verify with your eyes.
i think wimpy is the hamburglar. not to point fingers or anything, but i'm just sayin'.
is there such a thing as too much fun? i've been very paranoid lately that i'm too fun but there's no one to ask. like how much of a jerk do you sound like asking someone 'hey, do you think i'm TOO fun?' i'm just worried. (by the way, bill, this is totally your fault... just in case you were asking yourself, 'self did i cause elaina's insecurity about being too fun?' the answer is yes, yes you did.)
this is my favorite picture of ALL time. check out that face! :) cici the big sister looks a little hesitant. totally understandable. i once wrote 'stupid' on brittany's forehead while she was sleeping. i then tried to wash it off with a cloth... which was when she woke up. and then she had to go to dinner with stupid written on her forehead. funny, i don't remember getting in trouble for that. so it must have been worth it.
last night i went to bed super early b/c it was too cold to be awake. anyway, i woke up in the middle of the night b/c i got a text message. a text message from someone telling me to bring them beer. o for random. i don't remember exactly what went down but i remember saying something along the lines of 'what the what? i'm in bed.' and then a response of 'it's not even 10.' to which i wrote a little poem along the lines of 'it's cold and i'm old.' (this was all totally random b/c i don't go around buying beer for people... ever. maybe he figured it was worth a shot. and it was pretty entertaining that he tried... i don't know why he thought i'd say yes.) all this reminds me of that weirdsies stalker i had who would send me rap poem text messages in which he referred to me as shorty. you should never call someone who is taller than you shorty... even if you are trying to get her to be your boo. (as a side note, using boo is only acceptable if you're being ironic. like carrying a pager. or saying nkotb. or having a myspace account.)
which brings me to this question, why do weirdos always want to date me?!?! ::hahaha:: i don't know what that's about.

a little of this
so the other day we were watching the food network. it was an episode of unwrapped about christmas foods. when these little candies showed up on the screen and i instantly yelled 'what the what?' these appear to be snowwomen with giant... well you can tell from the picture. at first no one believed me that what i said i saw was what i saw on unwrapped. luckily a little bit later they showed another shot.
i don't know what else those could possibly be on the snowwomen. thoughts?
this is the new baby q. isn't he adorable?!? i love that little nose. i'm super excited for the new baby. i can't wait to get back out to ca to visit.Sunday, December 20, 2009
snow day, baby
today is my first official snow day. church got canceled because of the snow. WOO! it's not that i'm excited that church is canceled but i'm excited to not have to do something because of the snow. that's never happened to me before. YAY snow day.
that said i will now commence my year in review
january
the new year's day fiasco with bill... mostly involved not being able to do anything we wanted all day long and then having to walk home from the movies. trip to virginia for home finding - had a sinus infection and almost died the night before the trip due to an allergic reaction to some medicine that i can never remember. i should probably write it down the next time i remember. trip to seattle with amber and cici to visit dad. disneyland for my 25th birthday.
february
civil war reenactment in ca for valentine's day. trip to hawaii. the neighbor setting their apartment on fire and the fire fighters chopping a "small" hole in our wall. trip to san francisco to visit little dan.
march
driving a 17' uhaul with my car towed behind it from arizona to virginia. i still can't believe i did that. i'm pretty hard core. as is gina. i would totally do it again... but only if gina was with me. highlights: getting the uhaul and company stuck in a parking lot in downtown atlanta, the coke factory, all the mcdonalds across the country, ALABAMA, snow in new mexico and cookies at the doubletree. started work at the new d&b... which involved me being told i needed woman classes. obviously they didn't know who they were dealing with. the first sunday at church here when i met phil and the teeth. ::hahaha:: meeting arianne and she turned out to not be hispanic like i had expected.
april
store opens. woo! emmy came to visit. i had a house warming party that i was hours late to. hmm. i think work was pretty much everything that was going on during april.
may
i got sylvie the hamster. duck beach. we stayed in this adorable beach house and i had top bunk. had fun bonding with stephanie and arianne... our lovely photo scavenger hunt. saw the wright brothers museum. the first of the hair fiascos... i tried to get my hair dyed red... and it turned out pink. it was all down hill from there.
june
i realized that it rains a ridiculous amount in virginia. never-ever trust a virginian when they tell you about the weather. they are all weather liars. you could be standing there getting rained on and they will deny the fact that it is raining until they die. i think virginians like to pretend they live somewhere cool like california and that it doesn't do things like rain or snow... but it's a LIE. it rains all the time here, don't be fooled. went to the world's boringest baseball game with jon. had a big month at work. lots of party planning in june. those were the days, yo.
july
4th of july!!! we organized a trip to dc to celebrate the freedom and birth of our great nation. best day ever. made some new friends and got to know people better. saw an amazing fireworks display. got accused of groping phil on the subway (which i did not do). went to waffle house where we witnessed people having a dtr next to the dumpster. some day that will be me, if only in my dreams. i think my favorite part of the trip was when we went for a walk, me, daniel, nate and tiffani and saw some more of the monuments and we had firecracker popsicles and just generally had a nice time being together. its moments like that that stay with me for some reason. nothing big or exciting happened but we were all together and i was, just, sincerely happy to be there.
august
trip to ca. it was so nice to go home and just get away for a bit. i don't remember too much else about august except this was when i got really, really depressed. the trip home helped me get out of that a bit. it was just such a terrible feeling. i would come home from work and just lay in bed crying. i hope i never feel that way again. i believe august is about that time i got that HORRIFIC hair cut. i'm still recovering. ughh.
september
lauren came to visit! it was so nice to have her out here. we did all sorts of touristy stuff while she was here. we even had TWO picnics. and it POURED rain on one of them. ha. i believe this was about the time i became friends with jessica 'queen fug'. we definitely went to the field day of the past during september. i learned what a tractor pull is. i couldn't explain it to you if i tried. all i know is that people wearing confederate flag shirts like to watch them.
october
this was the beginning of my 30 rock obsession. i hid away for a weekend and did nothing but watched 30 rock all weekend long. it was AMAZING. i love 30 rock b/c i relate to liz lemon so much. it cracks me up. i believe october is when we took the bus trip to nyc. for halloween i dressed up as a zombie cowboy. the next day i decided i would need to be zombie richard nixon for halloween 2010.
november
november involved several attempts at hair dying. most of which turned out to be an ultimate fail. i got a haircut that turned out pretty normal and now i'm still working on growing my hair out. had thanksgiving with diane, javi and quentin. it really was a nice thanksgiving, very relaxing.
december
i took a trip up to NYC all by myself. SOOO much fun. I did touristy stuff around the city and just generally enjoyed the city experience. i hung out at 30 rock and pretended to be liz lemon. my first snow day! and i get to go home for christmas! spent time with people i adore throughout the month. learned how to work the tv finally. kimy bought a house! ready to get my 2010 on.
woo! i'm sure i left lots of big stuff out. hey! add a message with any big things you remember that i left out!
anyway, overall i've had an amazing year with lots of growth and learning. i'm thankful for the amazing people that have come and gone throughout this year. i really am learning that things don't always turn out like you might expect but they always turn out.
that said i will now commence my year in review

gee wiz
this is me pretending to be happy about that fact that i'm being snowed on. the snow started up pretty quickly. i don't know if that's always what happens with snow since this really has never happened to me before. by the time i got home from work it was coming down pretty heavily.the snow stresses me out and i got very little sleep last night. for whatever reason i would wake up in a panic every half hour or so and would bolt over to the window. i think part of me was afraid that the snow would have disappeared or that the whole world would have filled up with snow. i don't know which would have been more shocking to me. at any rate it made for a very stressful night.
this morning i decided i would try to take some pictures of the snow. so i put on jeans and a sweatshirt and opened the front door and realized there was no way i was going outside like that. i went and grabbed my snow coat, opened the door and got to the open air and went back inside for more gear. i grabbed a scarf and pulled up my hood and finally made my way to the parking lot. i took a few photos before i realized i really should have put on gloves and my fingers were killing me. i scurried back to the apartment as quickly as possible (which was actually very slowly b/c i was petrified of falling, breaking an arm and dying alone in my apartment).
so the other night we decided to have some fun with diet coke and mentos (yes, i've been on a myth busters kick). fun with diet coke and mentos eventually leads to fun with other household items... like cornstarch. we learned a lot about what happens when you combine water and cornstarch (CREEPY) but more importantly i learned what happens when you combine fire and cornstarch... this:
i'm still trying to get my hands on the video to post here. it's a good time.anyway, i've got a lot of stressful stuff going on right now. i've got some career decisions to make. ::joy:: and just generally waiting on some stuff to work or not work out. also, all the christmas parties for this weekend got cancelled due to the weather so that means more events moving to january. things definitely did not play out the way i had expected. but then again they rarely do. just ask my hair.

"it doesn't snow in virginia"
so that's my car. obviously i'm not going anywhere any time soon. snow is like being sick but without being sick. you have to stay in your house and watch a lot of tv.

it's the journey
so yesterday ann and i got lunch at mcdonald's. ann orders and then i go up and order and at the end of my transaction this happens:
mcdonald's worker man: you're very beautiful.
me: oh, uhmm thank you.
mcdonald's worker man: i just had to say it. i couldn't keep a straight face anymore.
me: (in my head) is that still a compliment? can i have my lunch now? where's the nearest exit?
which leads to... my favorite stories of times guys have randomly hit on me! woo!
so i'm in the parking lot at the ontario mills (i think it's important that i tell you ontario mills... if you've ever been there you'll understand). laurel and i are walking from the movie theater (where we have just purchased tickets for a movie that starts in an hour or so) and are making our way to the food court for dinner when a random guy runs up to me
random guy: hey, hey!
me: uhm, yeah?
random guy: what are you doing?
me: uhm, we're going to eat.
random guy: can i buy you a burger?
me: no i don't think so.
so i'm leaving denny's with little dan. we're getting into the car and next to my side is a truck of guys.
driver guy: hey, can you do the hula?
me: what?
driver guy: i said can you do the hula?
me: uhm, no.
driver guy: oh... uhm because you look like you're hawaiian.
me: dan unlock the car.
::i think the guy either forgot the punchline of the joke or chickened out but i'm sure it should have ended with something about getting lei'd::
and then there's always the assortment of random work incidents. oh the work incidents. like the captain who would come in and dance with my chair. or the kitchen worker who would sneak up and hold my hand. or the server who would tell me i looked like a school girl. or the guy at the coffee shop who wanted to name his daughter after me luckily his wife wouldn't let him (that mostly just qualifies as awkward). or this
him: i love you.
me: i know.
him: no, no you don't.
me: ::awkward::
oh when i was in new york katelyn got hit on by some weird guy. the best part: when he came over and went to start talking he totally drooled on the table. nice.
reminds of the time i was talking to some guy at a networking event. so we're outside chatting it up and suddenly a bug just flies up his nose. his eyes go wide, he looks at me and says 'i have to go' and walks away. i was just like uh yeah you do.
oh life! cracks me up!
mcdonald's worker man: you're very beautiful.
me: oh, uhmm thank you.
mcdonald's worker man: i just had to say it. i couldn't keep a straight face anymore.
me: (in my head) is that still a compliment? can i have my lunch now? where's the nearest exit?
which leads to... my favorite stories of times guys have randomly hit on me! woo!
so i'm in the parking lot at the ontario mills (i think it's important that i tell you ontario mills... if you've ever been there you'll understand). laurel and i are walking from the movie theater (where we have just purchased tickets for a movie that starts in an hour or so) and are making our way to the food court for dinner when a random guy runs up to me
random guy: hey, hey!
me: uhm, yeah?
random guy: what are you doing?
me: uhm, we're going to eat.
random guy: can i buy you a burger?
me: no i don't think so.
so i'm leaving denny's with little dan. we're getting into the car and next to my side is a truck of guys.
driver guy: hey, can you do the hula?
me: what?
driver guy: i said can you do the hula?
me: uhm, no.
driver guy: oh... uhm because you look like you're hawaiian.
me: dan unlock the car.
::i think the guy either forgot the punchline of the joke or chickened out but i'm sure it should have ended with something about getting lei'd::
and then there's always the assortment of random work incidents. oh the work incidents. like the captain who would come in and dance with my chair. or the kitchen worker who would sneak up and hold my hand. or the server who would tell me i looked like a school girl. or the guy at the coffee shop who wanted to name his daughter after me luckily his wife wouldn't let him (that mostly just qualifies as awkward). or this
him: i love you.
me: i know.
him: no, no you don't.
me: ::awkward::
