"All I'm trying to do is modify my plan"

I have been so on edge all week. Probably because the week got off to an incredibly bad start -- a situation which I can't describe (yet) but basically anyone on my campus knows what I'm talking about because the grapevine there is incredible. Suffice to say, it's made me a little bit jumpy. A lot jumpy.

It also distracted me from my goal this week, which was to find out why I seem to be undateable. Of course, talking to my friends about that is worthless. They all seem to think I'm a catch -- but of course they do, I'm not interested in them. (Suddenly wondering if the best strategy for snagging a boyfriend is to date someone I absolutely couldn't care less about... :P)

But, yeah, this week has been chock-full of arguments and just general crap. With everybody. But there's not really anything substantial to write about at this point. Not much has improved since previous posts, cause things are actually staying at a status quo this week. (Weird for me, isn't it?) Unfortunatley, it's a very dramatic status quo. I'm sure I'll calm down in a few days or something, and hopefully that will ease everything up.
And if I haven't relaxed by Tuesday, the pain meds from my surgery will definitely help, I'm sure. I've never been so excited for Vicodin.

Because this post has been mostly...nothing....here's a meme! I stole it from Brad.

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. (Brad didn't tag, and neither will I. Shush, we're rebels.)

1) What was I doing 10 yrs ago?
I was being a pretty typical ten year-old, dealing with bullies in elementary school and being better at reading and writing than almost anyone else in my class.

2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):
1. Shower
2. Eat
3. Take Juli tanning
4. Go to class/finish group project with Lauren and Katalina
5. Perform the Diary of Anne Frank

3) Snacks I enjoy:
Chips, sour gummy candy...almost any junk food.

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Pay off all of my and my parents' debt...and my brother too, come to think of it. By a really nice but not extravagant house (or two...or three), and a nightclub that I could be a silent partner in. (I think my twin Brendan would probably run it, he once told me he wanted to run a nightclub.)

5) Three of my bad habits:
1. Chewing my fingernails
2. Never shutting up (which is the current reigning theory for why I'm undateable, ps)
3. Not cleaning enough

6) 5 places I have lived:
1. Cranston, RI
2. South Kingstown, RI
3. Exeter, RI
4. Elizabethtown, PA
5. Mount Joy, PA

7) 5 jobs I have had:
1. Actor
2. Stage Manager
3. Go go boy
4. A&F Impact Team Member
5. A. Eagle Sales Associate

So, I'm not going to tag anyone but if you want to do it, go right ahead!

Breaking out of the usual...

I don't typically do memes on this blog. I usually have too much else to say. But usually I haven't been tagged, and now I have this obligation to Steve to do his meme. :P

Memes are fun, maybe I should do them more often. Anyways, here goes:

Here are five things about me. Four of them are true. One is a lie. Try to guess which is which. :)

1. I am a member of pretty much every networking site I've ever seen.
2. I have never broken a bone or been stung by a bee.
3. I don't know how to swim.
4. I'm a self-proclaimed seafood snob.
5. I am fiercely loyal to my coffee shops.
   

I am tagging...Sue, Brad, Shaney, ExNavyMike, and Adam.

Let's see...today I went apartment hunting and saw the touring production of The Light in the Piazza. Neither was bad by any means, but neither really was exciting enough to have much to say on here.

Though I gotta say, the guy playing Fabrizio in The Light in the Piazza? HOTTIE!

Hrm. While we're on a roll with these memes, how about this one I stole from Brad?

So, I, uh, had a little embarrassing experience today. And now I am pretty sure that they are going to end up amputating my middle finger. You see, I, uhm, I cutitonatrashreceptacle. I've washed the cut three times, with antibacterial stuff, and I have a bandaid on it now to keep it from getting any germier but....I'm still convinced it's going to get infected and need to be cut off.

Anyways, I just installed the ActiveMeter thing Brad told me about so consider yourselves stalked. :-D

Also, this is SO CUTE.

Aww, sad face!

So I had like three comments I wanted to leave on Southern Expressions, and Blogger won't let me. Sad face! :( :( :(

I did want to comment on his Monday joke ("The benefits of being a guy") -- just to complain that it lies. Foreplay is ALWAYS necessary, in my opinion.

Since this is my blog, and I'm saying it on here instead of on Brad's, I'd like to know your take on this very important mystery of life: how important is foreplay?

Next: Peace in the Middle East. :-P
