And so the eight days of happy continues with day four.
Life Is A Beautiful Joke: A new podcast that Jake Cordova debuted on Halloween. It's all about random acts of kindness. Which is just awesome. It seems like there's a lot of ugliness in the world these days, and it's helpful to remember that there's a lot of good out there too. Not only is the first episode great, but Jake gave me a little shoutout, mentioning me as one of the inspirations of the show. Which made my month. Seriously. I was listening to the show while driving, and I let out this insane little squeal and couldn't stop smiling. Yay for Jake.
My scale: Yes! My scale made me unexpectedly happy this morning. At some point I weighed myself, and I could have sworn that it said I had gained the 15 pounds I lost on SBD back. So I'm starting the diet over again this morning, and I weigh myself so I can have my starting weight, and apparently I didn't gain the weight back, after all! I'm right where I left off. Which is beyond awesome.
Subtle Sexuality: The Office has really been disappointing me this season. If it doesn't pick up again soon, I may give it up altogether. BUT, the webisodes are fantastic. Especially Subtle Sexuality's music video. I've been singing it constantly.

| Day Three: |
[Oct. 28th, 2009|07:21 pm] |
Ugh. My brain is going to explode from stress. To much work/school/stress/life. Is it Christmas vacation yet?
And yet despite all that, this conversation today made me laugh, and I knew I wanted to post it for that eight days of happy meme that I'm still trudging through.
Day 3:
Christy: Tell Amber to behave in front of my mom. (RE: Christy's mom coming to the midnight showing of New Moon with us.)
Me: Your mom can handle it!
Christy: I think that's your first appropriate "your mom" reference. Congrats.
Me: I wouldn't get used to it.
Christy: I didn't have any expectations.
Me: That's what she said.
Other things that make me exceedingly happy?
Nathan Fillion in his "Space Cowboy" costume in this week's episode of Castle.
The compliments I keep getting on my Halloween decorations at work.
My Jack-o-Lantern Scentsy warmer.
Your mom. |

| Day Two: |
[Oct. 25th, 2009|07:36 pm] |
Well that whole posting eight days in a row plan failed spectacularly, didn't it? Like anyone is surprised. It was never gonna happen. So we'll just say that for the next seven entries that I do manage to post, I'll throw in something that made me happy. There. See? Everyone's a winner.
Today's happy thoughts brought to you by: your mom
Mika's album The Boy Who Knew Too Much. I finally broke down and bought it last night and I've been listening to it all day.
"So I was sittin' there at the bar, and this guy came up to me and he said My life stinks and I saw his gold credit card, and I saw the way that he was lookin' at people across the room, and I looked his face, and you know What a good lookin face, and I just said, Dude. Your perspective on life sucks."
This Leverage fanvid. I love the song, and most of all I love Eliot, Parker, and Hardison.
The Shrine of Jared Padalecki's Ass. No explanation needed.
And now, ten random Sunday night confessions, just because I feel like it.
1. I wish I could master that messy/cool look that so many girls seem to know how to do with their hair. But I think I'm doomed to never get the knack of it. Whenever I try, I just end up looking like Garth in Wayne's World after his experience with the Suck-Cut.
2. I've had Sweet Caroline stuck in my head since Wednesday. Damn Glee.
3. I wish I were British based solely on the fact that their slang is so much more fun than ours. Git. Chav. Yob.
4. I've developed what some might call an "unhealthy obsession" with Christian Kane.
5. I hate that Jim and Pam are smug marrieds now. I hardly even like them anymore. I think Oscar, Kevin, Angela and Andy need their own show. I have no idea what they'd do, but I'm certain it would be hilarious.
6. To this day the smell of Victoria's Secret Love Spell makes me think of my high school locker room.
7. I've gained back all the wait I lost when I started South Beach last month, and I'm really pissed of at myself for it.
8. I rarely, if ever, actually sleep under my sheets. I usually just snuggle down under my comforter.
9. Twice in the last three days I've been locked in my room because of that stupid door that maintenance won't replace.
10. One of my biggest guilty pleasures is reading celebrity gossip rags. US Weekly, OK, Star. I'm addicted. Dignity be damned, I just have to find out what Britney is up to this week. |

[Oct. 22nd, 2009|06:53 pm] |
So I've been tagged twice for this meme now. First by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) aries11 and now by schnullybaby. Guess I can't put it off any longer. I just want you both to realize how much you're asking when you tell me to post eight days in a row. I think it might physically kill me.
1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for eight days without fail.
3. Tag eight of your friends to do the same.
Let's see. Well... during my media design class this morning my professor pulled up our class website, and I realized that he had me listed under the featured blog. See? Pretty nifty, right?
Then in we had our staff meeting in broadcast and the story I pitched about a feature about students who work full time in addition to school was chosen. Again, kinda cool.
Also, the Katie & Effy fanmix that I downloaded from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) rabbithearts this morning is fantastic. It's the seventh skins fanmix I've downloaded from her, and each one gets better than the last. She seriously has a knack for finding the perfect songs for these characters.
And that's all you get today. As far as tagging goes, if you'd like to try it, then I say go for it. But otherwise you're all free as birdies on this one. ;) |

I am not procrastinating. I can't dive right into homework after working all day. My brain would melt into a lime green substance resembling the slime they used to dump on people on Nickelodeon. That sounds about right...yep.

Bought my purple iPod nano yesterday. It's so tiny! It's hard to get used to after lugging my 80gb classic around for three years.
And I've said before, and I'll say it again. Glee is freaking fantastic. Last night's episode was the best one so far. |

This is a public service announcement. Get off your computer, [see also: couch/bed/butt] get your car, [see also: bike/skateboard/bus/feet] and go watch Zombieland [see also: best freaking movie out right now] immediately.
Every minute you wait, a Zombie will eat one of your loved ones. While you were reading this, Grammy just bit the dust. You should be ashamed of yourself. Hurry, little cousin Robbie is next. |

| The Long Con |
[Oct. 1st, 2009|11:05 pm] |
YOU GUYS! I have a podcast! Not just co-hosting, or doing voice acting...it's totally mine. I recorded it, and edited it, and did everything. I realize I sound like a total freak, but I'm so friggen excited about it. This is something I've been wanting to do for like three years now. I tried playing it cool, but I totally can't. I've spammed my Twitter, and now I'm here. Facebook will be next, I'm sure. Sorry to anyone who is overloaded. ANYWAY.
The Long Con
It's sidetracked and I, talking about our latest obsession, Leverage. If you're a fan of the show, please check it out. Even if you're not, try it anyway. I'd love any sort of feedback. Because obviously I'm a total noob when it comes to editing and whatnot. Please check it out and/or pass it on. I'd really like to see the show do well. |

Things I've learned today:
1. I secretly enjoy watching VH1's Tool Academy.
2. I have an inordinate amount of JUNK. I've been cleaning my room for 3 1/2 hours and it doesn't look any better than when I started. But I've taken out two completely full garbage bags of crap.
3. My neighbors are creepy dumpster divers. Noted when I went to take the second aforementioned bag of trash out and found things I had thrown out with the first bag sitting along the wall of the dumpster area. |

Kaylee: Everybody's got somebody. Wash, tell me I'm pretty.
Wash: If I were unwed, I would take you in a manly fashion.
Kaylee: 'Cause I'm pretty?
Wash: 'Cause you're pretty.

I started reading this new book today, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. I'm not very far into it yet, but I love the author's writing style. You know what hooked me?
"Mr Freeman is ugly. Big old grasshopper body, like a stilt-walking circus guy. Nose like a credit card sunk between his eyes."
Nose like a credit card sunk between his eyes. How great is that? I love it. LOVE IT. There need to be more descriptions like that in the world.
I started the South Beach diet again this week. I've lost 9 pounds since Monday. I am down a notch on my belt. Feeling good! |
