Dear Jennifer,

I was feeling sick this morning. I think exhausted from the long week that was. Came in 30 minutes late and as I walked in I told my sup “Just heads up, I don’t feel good. I’ll work as much as I can and then I’ll probably take off.” She said that was fine, so I worked my butt off all morning, and already anticipating a heavier workload for Monday (even though I am working Saturday) I signed up to do overtime for Monday night.

Anyway, now I’m all done, and I’m actually feeling better enough to last for the rest of the day. All this free time I got hit with some random thoughts. First, since when have I pushed myself to go to work when I’m feeling less than perfect just because I don’t want to be behind? And second, since when do I care if I’ll have more to do on Monday, I mean that’s what Tuesdays are for? It’s starting to bother me. I think I’m getting old.

Then there’s this idea I had that I wanted to get another apartment. Then I thought I can’t move until I get my closet at a manageable size, I mean I can’t imagine trying to move with all of those clothes. Then I thought I don’t want to waste my money on paying rent. So, maybe it’s time I sit down with my realtor (mom) and start planning on a house I can afford, and I can get approved for. Ohmigawd! I am really getting old.

Help?

It’s not OLD, silly. It’s grown up… Lots of people who are old or older don’t even get ideas like that. You want better for you and you think that’s old? Not so :)

I think it’s a great idea to plan those things!!

On the other hand, you might have a touch of indigestion or upcoming flu and are mistaking feelings of listlessness for ambition?? Hee hee…..

Leave it up to you to end a very serious email with a “Hee hee”. You are so grown up.

Hey don’t bite the hand that might feed you tomorrow.

You’re feeding me Spam?

Nooooo. I’m thinking something from Tokyo Steakhouse to go. I think I want some unagi (I had to look up the spelling on that) and fried rice. You can pick whatever you want. Besides, you said for me not to make anything, remember?

So we should start house hunting, I guess.

Definitely! :) You have nothing to lose by at the very least, trying. .

You thinking Derby or Wichita?

Wichita would be cheaper I think.

Well, maybe somewhere in there keep in mind your geography so if you need help someone in family is close enough to help you.

Or you can buy me a gun for Christmas. :)

Well with your lovely OBAMA, that might not be an option since his plan is to tear apart the constitution and the right to bare arms is now at risk. . . NICE! Good pick folks! Way to de-arm, de-militarize and de-safe our family and friends! WOOOOOO!

Hey slow your flow! I’m not about to put up with your political rant. If my right to bare arms is being sacrificed so I can keep more of my hard earned money, I think it’s a good trade. Especially now that I have this job, I’d like my 401k to actually amount to something. Thank you.

Good. When people who are illegally holding arms, like they have for years and years, comes and robs you of your money and you have no way to defend yourself… again make sure you live close enough to family so someone can come to your rescue!

When someone comes to rob me for my money, I’ll say “Hold on I have to call my mom to see what my balance is, because I don’t have any cash.” “Oh you want a TV? I had one but I think now my son has it.” “Furniture? Yeah sold at a garage sale last time I moved back into my parents’ house.” “But hey would you like some Ramen?”

I think that whole barrage of options would scare ANY would-be robber :)

Or maybe they’d feel so bad they’d end up giving me money before they left.

You know what?? If anyone on earth could pull that off it would be you…..

“Would you just give her some d*mn money so we can get the h*ll out of here. . .the baby talk is making me dizzy!”

So now there’s more than one robber? Okay, maybe I can beg one of them stay with me and watch The Hills.

Or one robber who’s suffering from multiple personality disorder.

I think you just found me a new boyfriend. Now all I need is a house that attracts robbers.

Dear Evan,

So you’re the inspiration for my new blog. Yay, you! Here’s how it happened. My sister and I went to eat dinner at Hana like I told you. After dinner we hung out and tried to kill some time so she showed me her new toy. Itty bitty lap top, half the size of mine. So I’m like “what does it do?” And she goes here it has a webcam we can make you a “vlog”. Granted this was after half a pitcher of sake. So I’m very ditzy into the webcam asking “What do I do?” And she says “Say your message.” So I say, “People of the world…unite!” And then I start laughing and you can see in the vid that I was pretty amused with myself. Then I get the bright idea to talk about how everyone at work has a crush on you and I don’t think it’s fair and that they need to find someone else to crush on. It’s my best rant yet! It was so embarrassing watching it myself but very funny. (On the side, I’ve come to the conclusion that adorable as I am, because I am, I’m also very dorky.)

Anyway back to how you became the inspiration to the new site. My sister posts the video on her website and I see it this morning and she has a mini feed that implies she will be jump starting me back into blogging via video posts. So I thought that was a great idea! And to fluff the site I’ll just cut and paste my emails to you. Because I tell you everything already anyway. Doubtful you actually read any of it, but either way it’s already there right? So the new site begins with my half drunk video log, and then continues with my emails to the Evan guy that I was referring to on the video log. It’s genius. Right?

Or I could be wrong. I went to drink more after dinner so I’m a bit hung over. I could be wrong. This genius feeling might still fade away with the headache. Who knows.

So I was actually an inspiration for something? Wow… I feel special but I’m sure that will disappear in about five minutes or so… it usually does. But I have to say that some of the best ideas happen when your drinking lol… or they seem like it at the time anyway. But what you’ve come up with here is damn good if I do say so myself, and yes I would have to say that it is genius… sake is wonderful no??

Now I will say that you have to be one of the dorkiest people I know but its fun… makes the emails interesting, and I might just have to stop in sometime and check out the site lol. What did you say it was called or going to be called again? I’ll have to see what the people of the world wide web think of these little email conversations that get me through the boring day after day lol.

You want some Tylenol or something for your headache? I’m pretty sure I have some here… and as far as your genius feeling goes… it should stay with you through today and tomorrow lol. Oh and by the way writing music reviews for F5?? Gotta say that’s pretty exciting, how long ago was that? Yes I realize that this convo was started yesterday but I didn’t get the chance to say anything about it then lol. And I see you keep standing up are you trying to tell me to hurry?????

Yes sake is wonderful. I think the only thing that I hate about sake is it stops me from controlling my ditziness. That’s pretty embarrassing. But it made for a really fun night.

After dinner with my sister, I went to Lucky’s to meet my friend Eli. That’s always fun. Of course he was trying to figure out which one of my personalities came out to meet him last night. I left Lucky’s early to go to Indigo and meet my sister’s friend. He was spinning techno so I told him I’d be leaving when he started because I’m not a big fan of techno. The whole time he was setting up though I was targeted by some Mexican guy who told me his entire life’s story. Ahem…he’s got an Associates in Computer Science, a Bachelor’s in Business, owns his own car lot and loves Kwan Court. I was dying. To top it off the bartender was actually cute but every time I tried to start a conversation with him, Mexican would keep interrupting with another effing story. Ugh!

Thanks for telling me I’m one of the dorkiest people you know. That really boosts my self esteem. I think maybe I will need to end this little friendship soon before I completely hate myself. And I don’t think I want you on the website. I will think on it.

And the offer on Tylenol. I already got Ibuprofen from Carlene. But just for “ish” and giggles. How did you intend on getting the medicine to me without getting stopped by the gustapo on the way to my cube?

P.S. You only notice me standing up because you keep staring this way. Who’s the dork now!

Damn sounds like you had a night! Wish I could say the same… L but you know me… it just doesn’t happen like that. And you know… nothing that I’ve seen says that your ditzy in the least… your just random and fun (and I mean random in a good way) you seem like one of those happy bubbly type of people, and I seriously doubt its embarrassing like you think… I’m sure that its fun to be around lol.

WHAT?!?!?! You don’t like techno?? I’m not going to lie… I do… I don’t listen to it a lot but I do occasionally… generally I listen to rock and screamo. Ok so here is a question… I’m not a genius or anything but I was under the impression that if your trying to pick up a female or converse with them and keep their interest that those are the things that you wouldn’t want to talk about lol… I mean if it was me I would have told dude to get lost lol. And he was “cock” blocking lol (sorry for the terminology) that’s a total penalty box foul lol.

Ok I didn’t mean that as disrespect… I didn’t mean it as a bad thing at all lol. All I was trying to say is what I was talking about earlier… you being random… I suppose I could have said things differently tho… sorry if I upset you… wasn’t the intention. But I can totally see you saying the whole “people of the world unite!!” thing I suppose that’s what I’m talking about… not a lot of people are comfortable enough with themselves to do things like that. And it made me laugh lol .

Ha yeah I forgot that you were on military lock down over there… but just in case you were wondering I was planning on a smoke screen a few ninja flips over the cube walls and then vanish into the shadows as if I were one myself
