kidneytheft put this up on facebook. i've yet to see memes/surveys otherwise invade facebook (probably mostly cause i'm pretty selective about who i 'friend' on there so there are only a few people) so i figured i'd put it up here instead. i sorta actually think i've already done this--maybe just as a normal survey? for all i know, she snagged it off me.

i think i just want to do it so i have something to do while i listen to my music. i'm confined to my tapes in my car so i don't listen much other times. anyway.

1. Put your ipod on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER WHAT (add lyrics or comments if you want)
4. Tag 10 friends who might enjoy doing this as well as the person you got this from.

(obviously i'm not tagging anyone. just snag it if you want to. they're fun)

( WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY? )

1. my weekend was blissfully uneventful. got dynasty warriors 6 from Gamefly so spent most of my time just chillin at home, smokin, and playing video games. you know...as God intends us to spend our time!

2. fight club on blu ray. SO SO fucking made of own. i've now seen fight club 95 times. i saw deleted scenes i've never witnessed. promo and art gallery (including the PSAs that 'jack' and tyler did when it was still in theatres). a special honors award given to the movie, handed out by mel gibson, and accepted hilariously by brad & edward. not to mention the fun behind the scenes shots of leto getting the snot punched out of him when our narrator decided to destroy something beautiful

3. why you've yet to see me hype over new moon--even though i am massively excite. two reasons.
A) the hot topic factor. you know--i got picked on for buying a Cullen family crest hoodie two months before the first twilight movie came out. and i got it cause i loved the books, and love the look of a family crest. i thought it would sorta be like a way of people to know but not know that we're into the same thing--like lost fans knowing about the polar bear or the numbers. but, really? with this movie? the display stands and the body glitter and the lunch boxes? it's all...nauseating. and i HATE to be the person who doesn't like something just because it's cool? but I AM, yes ME, totally burnt out on the vampire thing at this point.
B) New Moon. is the story of a lonely girl heartbroken cause she cannot be with the mans she loves. i'm sure i'm not the only girl who sat in bed some nights reading this book feeling like my chest had a big hole in it same as Bella did. And right now, I don't have my man with me. So I fear this movie is just going to be one big huge fucking reminder of how lonely I am without him. How much I fucking miss him. And I'm really, really dreading that.
Despite all of this? I am definitely going to see it as soon as my schedule allows.

4. school bitches! my transcripts are in!! i just have to go take my Accuplacer test (sorta like a mini SATs to determine if i am a complete moron when it comes to grammar and whatnot) on Wednesday and then i'm in!! very, very, very fucking excited!!

5. i have a bunch of cool movies i've seen trailers for lately. so i'll probably put up a post about all of those soon.

6. snagged from lady_di_8585 ( a meme )

i had a pretty good weekend. busy for certain! saw the movie 2012--it was pretty much exactly what one would expect. it was long, preachy in a real bad way, predictable, and got ridiculously "that-would-never-happen" at moment. but despite all of this? it was actually a fun movie to see. plus...three hours of John Cusack? NEVER a bad thing.
Plus--there was a trailer for Invictus. So YAY!

i went to two different Half Price Book locations--the one on the Southside and the one in Brookfield. a little while ago i hit a bump in my car and somehow it prevented my tape converter/iPod set up from working properly. so i have been listening to the same 'top 20' Beatles songs cassette over and over again. i NEEDED some new tapes--and that is the only place i think that even sells them anymore. and, of course, both trips? i made off like a friggin BANDIT!
Trip one:
1. a Billie Holiday tape.
2. Hole's 'Live Through This' tape. (i fucking LOVE courtney love! and?)
3. 'High Fidelity' by Nick Hornby. for those who don't know this is a BRILLIANT film. in my top three along with fight club and across the universe. it's about Rob Gordon, a record store owner in his early 30s who just split from his long time girlfriend and goes through a really revealing and pop culture heavy retelling of his past loves.
4. 'Resurrection Man' by Eoin McNamee. it's the first novel from a mostly unknown writer outside of his native Belfast, Ireland. the story is set in his home city and is told from the viewpoint of his murderer main character.
5. 'Cradle and All' by James Patterson. Patrick read this in jail a month or so ago and recommended it highly, so I'm finally giving Patterson a try (doubt i'll like him as much as PattINson tho hee hee)
6. a tiny guidebook called 'Artistik London'. It has all the bookstores, galleries, etc. worth checking out in London with some small street maps of some of the main artsy neighborhoods like Soho.
7. 'Foucault's Pendulum' by Umberto Eco. i am SO EXCITED about this book. it has been dubbed the "thinking man's DaVinci Code" and was written decades earlier. Umberto Eco was voted in 2005 as #2 in the world's top 100 intellectuals. his use of puns is exceptional.
i got all of that stuff? for $16!!

so i found some great books on the Southside, but the music selection was lacking. FORTUNATELY Brookfield fucking OWNED on this part!! i don't even know if i can explain how excited i got about all the great music i found! i actually stopped before i even got to the books just to save myself money! i got:

1. Never Mind The Bullocks: Here's The Sex Pistols, by-obviously-The Sex Pistols
2. Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, by The Cure
3. Your Arsenal, by Morrissey (i own it on CD, but had to get it on tape too)
4. Bona Drag, Morrissey (same)
5. Everybody's In Show-biz, The Kinks
6. The Libertines, The Libertines (on CD. have just DLed and not owned this!!!!!!!)
7. Combat Rock, The Clash
8. Anthology, The Beatles
all for just $12!!!! The Lib's cd was half of that even!

And, finally, I ended up getting two new pets this weekend. Two pretty small, gray, female fancy rats. I named one Kensington (Kensie) and one Camden (Cammie). They are very, very close to each other. Kensie is a bit larger and darker and loves to eat. She's more daring and protective of Camden. Camden is meek and loves to hang out in my pocket. or in my cleavage. no...seriously. she likes to nap there. it's weird, i know.

the one smiling is Kensie


and just because he's gorgeous...




finally, cause i need something to do while i watch the first half of the project runway finale:

( short survey )

i am having a craptastic night. so a-survey-in we go!

( c'mon you know you love it )

a) i know i haven't been posting reactions to vampire diaries. i am still watching. i think it gets better every week. i just don't leave my computer on much lately.

b) ( short but sweet, my reaction to this week.... )



in other, random news? a second cousin of mine happened to call our work as a customer and found out my last name. she's doing a family tree for our family and is going to have me help her. i have never met her before! it turns out her father is my grandmother's brother. and when my grandmother had to flee during the Holocaust? her father went to brazil. and then years later the Red Cross reunited everyone and brought him to milwaukee to come be with all of us--because the rest of the Lipski's were in Milwaukee and Chicago by then. cool, hey?

jews = win



ps

yay prettybutt for my pretty icon of stefan and elena! (aka the couple edward and bella wish they could be)

can i use that I <3 nerds icon you've been using?

so i totally infected my computer with a REALLY REALLY bad virus.......AT. WORK. and? my computer is the one that holds ALL of our important information. i'm so mad at myself i could cry.


but in GOOD news? i had a job interview last night for a second job at a eye doctor's office. i'd do the puff in the air test & stuff before you see the doctor. i really, really like it!! the woman literally said i was "utterly delightful". i'm either calling her or she's calling me on Monday. wish me luck!!

okay i gotta get back to work. i'm at lunch right now.
