Chaotic n' Crazy

time 3:15 pm feeling sleepy wearing bright rainbow GAYGAYGAY sweater, yay! music RP reading My Cousin Leonard from Sarah ready for stupid tabs to work! next back to tabs

OMG I am so frustrated right now. Rob designed this interface that I'm programming that has DOUBLE SLANTED, TRIPLE BORDER tabs and I'm about ready to kill him because it's so damn difficult to figure out. That wouldn't be very nice though, since his computer right now is shot to shit. So I guess I'll just have to grin and bear it.

K so I'm tired of being a slackery updater. First my recent, random thoughts: Do I really have to go to law school to be a politician??? Because my qualities and characteristics, both good and bad that is, all point to signs of being a successful politician, well, that AND I hate so many current ones. Ha. Except I'm not tall enough, oh yeah, AND I'M A WOMAN, I forgot. God damn America.

But seriously. I'm a decent public speaker (or so I like to think), I'm charismatic when I need to be, I'm somewhat manipulative (ask Jenny about dollhouses + playing), I am most definitely paranoid, and I'm great at making bold, sweeping statements that might not necessarily have any substance to them. Am I right or am I right???

Other random thoughts, OK, not so random I guess. Friday was the Olive party and it was awesome. Because the world is so censor-y-sensitive and I never know what to expect, I confess that I cannot share some of the best moments of the party here on lxforever. That just wouldn't be right. That said, basically it was the bomb and I am so glad so many people came. THANKS GUYS! You know who you are.

Speaking of which. I owe about 5 emails. I am sorry. I will do so soon. You know who you are.

Speaking of which. I still have to make Valentines. Oh, yeah, and do my taxes. Oh goody. Adulthood ;).

OK, ONE more random thought and then I hope I'll talk about our trip. I have been in just the best mood since our trip. I hope I can make it last. It's like I've been rejuvenated, refreshed, or something. I just feel way more laid back and happy, which makes no sense, since it's the dead of winter, in which my DEATH SPIRAL tends to begin, but clearly what I need is a trip to Europe every so often ;) haha or something like that. Then again, last year I had no January DEATH SPIRAL but instead a May/June/??? one, so...yeah, we'll see about that. Let's just cross our fingers, EH???

.....

So. Our trip. Was awesome. Clearly, what else would you expect. But seriously, it was worth every penny and more. Early on in our planning I was reluctant (as always!!) to commit to something so seemingly spendy when I'm a mere artisan (well, kinda), but Jeff convinced me and Jenny was so gung-ho and off I went. And I am SO GLAD we went.

First of all, my trepidation over flying coach. TOTALLY UNFOUNDED. Our flight was awesome. Granted, we had to both RUN to make it, oh joy, but we DID and I managed to only CARRY ON luggage so I was supremely lucky. We hardly slept on the way over there because there was so much to do! Haha JJ. We also had two tasty meals and watched Corpse Bride to boot. Ah yes, a lovely flight indeed.

ETA: OK, fuck. It looks like this is going to be another 'goal-not-accomplished' entry. DAMMIT. Well you all will just have to WAIT WAIT WAIT *again* for a 'trip update', ha. Hopefully by then I'll have gone through pics, too. Whew. Also Peter just came over and told me I could be a slacker on the tabs and do them an easier way. YESSSS. Now they look divine.

So, since I failed, I'll leave you with my unoffical list of goals for the year...

Lexi's Unofficial 2006 Goals:

  1. ALWAYS remember to zip fly when wearing pants (note: I have already failed at this, just noticed about an hour ago).
  2. Try to use less toxic chemicals and more 'around the house' substitutes, to save $ and the earth (note: yesterday this was broken when Rob and I spray glued all of Jackie's stuff [to avoid giving her baby birth defects], then cleaned up the mess by pouring bleach all over the table. I seriously thought I was going to PASS OUT after all that. We had honey nut cheerios instead. Anyway I'll work on that).
  3. Eat more organic things, when doable.
  4. Continue working towards my Ultimate Fitness Goal. My UFG is actually really stupid, because being NOT aged 10, it is highly unlikely I will EVER be able to do this, BUT—I'd really like to be able to do a press HS from sitting. Yeah we'll see about that, weak-ass legs and all...
  5. Work with kids again, whether it's with the Somali kids or in another capacity.
  6. Drive less (note: hopefully moving will accomplish this goal, bytches).
  7. Read, write, or draw.

That sounds about good. Happy January, already to pass. Soon it's off to WAG (Walgreen's, NOT Women's Artistic Gymnastics! Duh) to pick up Rxs, then home for cookies and chicken. Not necessarily in that order. And not together, yuck.

OH, P.S.: Another political skill I'm great at: BSing. Just watch Bushie tonight and you'll see what I mean. Except I WILL NOT be like Bush!!!!!!!!!!
