inspiration has struck...

...at work as always


I just got some amaZING (to quote Jonathan) ideas....

I know everyone and their brother are making t-shirt designs these days, but it is something I've always wanted to do. So we'll see what happens. I'll have some free time this weekend and will hopefully post some mock ups to see what you guys think.

<3

(oh, and Holly & Dima... I have some awesome ITZ quotes* too!!!)

tinted windows ftw!!!!

The reasons why today is awesome completely pwned the notsome of homework I need to finish in the next 2 hours.

1. Tinted Windows released a clip of some of their music on their myspace
2. &&& a full length song is available on rolling stone
3. Strong Enough To Break is going to go on sale this spring
4. My Twitter is freaking out because of Taylor
5. There is tons of snow :)

Darn you USPS man...

Here's my epic FAIL of a day with postal servies:

FAIL #1
...This isn't that bad. My Hanson 'Walk Around the World Tour' shirt came in the mail today--but was too big. I've just sent it back to Tulsa and will hopefully get it next week. That said, I really like the shirt :)


FAIL #2
I've been waiting for my TOMSshoes to come for about a week now. My brother said he bought me 2 pair for my birthday last week and I cannot wait to get them. Every afternoon I run to check the side door (which I don't use, but everyone else seems to) to see if they've arrived.

As I was driving to re-mail my tour shirt back to Hanson, I passed the FedEx man. I got excited :) I don't even know who TOMS uses to ship their stuff (it's probably USPS..but oh well).

I checked my house when I got back. There were extra tire marks. There were footprints through the foot of snow to our deck door. !!!!!!!!!!!

So I, being the crazy person I am, decide to not put my boots on, but to run out from my car wearing my current pair of TOMS and get soaking wet running across the driveway and up the stairs through a FOOT of snow to find...


...a copy of the new phone book.



oh, and I just texted Jeremy... he's been lazy and not even ordered them yet. :(

Anagraming

So, though my name does not anagram to anything even remotely clever (or plausible) my parents' and brother's names do...

Mom:
Ill, I Need Caffeine

Jeremy:

Maced Her Jiffy Roll (...which seems a bit dirty, but at least it makes sense)

and my personal favorite...
Dad's:
Cologne Will Offend

As you can tell my time is spent very wisely. It is true, productivity is my middle name.
(hmm.. i wonder if I could get better anagrams if my middle name WAS productivity... *rushes to check)

I am now 8,401 days old...

...factoring in the extra 6 days for leap years of course :)

Also, since my work computer decided to die this past week (we're still trying to revive her...the future does not look pleasant for dear old... (*tries to think of witty name*) ...work computer), my boss has just given me the SECRET CODE and I can now access the interwebs from my computer!! Oh the joy!

This post really has no point, except to say that even though I am working on my birthday (it's okay, they've bought me a cake), and my family is heading to the Florida Keys tomorrow morning, my birthday is fantastical and I hope you all are having wonderful days as well.

Also to note: it's raining outside, and my Gmail background is adorable on rainy days <3

Loving the Rain in Maine!!! xx Jenny

you tube is a mean face

...but then again I was trying to upload copyrighted material :/ Just know that you are missing out on an awesome video set to friday, i'm in love by The Cure.

In other news, I reminded Deanna of my birthday, and she responded: "oh ya, Thursday, Abraham Lincoln, Jen, got it!" or something to that effect.

Hanson fans are known for their crazi and weird-ness... but on the fan club forum today, the topics were stranger than usual. Here are some of the oddities (typos included):

-who love orange soda
-i think i have an addiction to cats
-what's your height?
-what are you/did you have for dinner?
-what's the last restaurant you ate at?
-favorite pop-tart flavor?

...i was tempted and clicked on the height one... 9 girls had posted how tall they were! I'm a fanson too, and am prone to fangirliness.. but I do have more to do with my day than to talk about how much i love orange soda...

anywho, I am off to read and go to bed. xx Jenny

I am so old....

... this is a lie, but I feel it this weekend. I have not left my house except to go to church Sunday morning and to go to the supermarket Saturday night to rent a movie and buy a bottle of wine (and twizzlers). I know what you're thinking, wine and twizzlers is an odd combo, but they didn't have any swedish fish, and pull 'n peel cherry twizzlers was the next best thing.

So, now I am going to finish my wine, watch my movie for a second time (my life is very exciting), and force myself to do homework--in that order of course, becasue if I did it the other way around it would be completely responsible and logical, and we can't have any of that now can we.

Darn You Red Bull...

It is currently 12:47--no wait 48--as I type. I've just gotten back from seeing "he's just not that into you", which was an okay movie, but I am definitely too tired to go into a movie review you everyone. I'll just say that it was better than expected, but I'm probably not going to buy it. FUN FACT: I cannot spell definitely. I misspell it every time I try and type/write/imagine it in my head/or any other possible time.. I don't know why... but ya, thought you should know that.

Ummm... so I was kind of falling asleep at dinner (went to a sports bar for some food with my friends before the movie, watched the hockey game... game was bad, conversation was awesome), so right before we left to head to the theater I downed a Red Bull. Which was awesome because I was awake for the movie. But now My body says "I'm tired, lets sleep" and my brain is all..."But I want to sing and write piano songs and figure out how to play It's Friday, I'm in Love (the Cure) and 4th of July (Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers) on the piano!"

So I have decided to go to bed and hopefully will still feel inspired tomorrow.

it's just laziness really

...that's the only excuse I have for not posting for 2 days. Forgive me? ^-^

Today I worked, and it was lovely. Well, it would have been if my computer hadn't chosen today to die. I had quite a lot of work to do and was genuinely happy to have actual work to do without asking any of the partners if they needed help. So I did my work without a computer, and then copied it when someone left and I could use their machine.

I drove home, ate food, and drove back to town (I say town, 'cause it's really not a city, but in Maine, Bangor really is a city to us) for tennis. Had a lovely time with my team for a couple hours. I hadn't played in months and just started going again a couple weeks ago. I'm happy to report that my serve has reappeared (if only for a brief and shining moment) which makes me happy, because I quite like my serve when my toss is cooperating (which it rarely does).

I've just finished watching The Office with the parents (it wasn't as funny as Sunday, but seriously, Sunday was exceptionally funny) and caught up of my YouTube subscriptions.

Off to bed early tonight!!

Monday Monday...

Helloooooooooo (spoken in true Seinfeld fan-ness)

Today I sat on my bed, looked at YouTube, and Facebook, and did homework, and ate a grilled cheese sandwich. It was a great day. I literally was in bed all day, except for the half hour it took to shower and get ready for school, and 3 hours where i drove to school, had class, and then drove back. I love being home alone, no one judges me for doing all of my school work while in my pajamas and wrapped up in a blanket (which is the best way btw).

I made my SLS video... it's not my best, but I had just woken up when I filmed it only because I needed the rest of the day to procrastinate about my homework that was due at five pm. Here is a link :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAAu2mtwYjw

I also had a dorkus moment when I realized that when you enter a link into twitter now it automatically makes it a tinyurl--which is awesome.

On my way home I considered buying a bottle of wine since I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be one of those days... but was lazy again and didn't feel like going into the supermarket for only a bottle of alcohol and sweedish fish. People look at you strange when you do that.

Ok, so I will chat with you later... most likely tomorrow :)
