Let There Be Sims!!!

I've been super excited about The Sims 3 release, but Lisa just got me even MORE excited because she had not heard of it yet (Yeah, you were definitely living under a rock).

I heard about TS3 almost 2 years ago and all I knew about it was that it was going to be better and with more features and that it was going to come out 2009. 2009 felt like an eternity! Then, around the beginning of fall 2008 I found out the release date. February 20th 2009! It didn't seem like that long of a wait, I was super excited. I decided that I needed a new laptop because my Dell was a few years old, and I had originally bought it for College and it didn't have the gaming capacities that it needed for Sims 2 (so slooooow) much less Sims 3.

So I bought a Sony Vaio during Cyber Monday Sale, so I'd be ready for Feb. when TS3 came out.

The weekend before TS3 was supposed to come out, I was bouncing off the walls. And I decided to go to their site because I hadn't been there in about a month and I wanted to check up on some more spoilers, hehe. And, something told me to check the date, because certain things get pushed back and others get released earlier. What if they released it earlier and I wasn't aware of it?

WELL! My heart broke. Shattered into a billion pieces. TS3 was pushed back to June 2nd!!! I wanted to die! I hurried my ass and got money together to buy that laptop just so I could have it for February when Sims came out and now I have to wait till June 2nd?!?

Bull!!!

But finally, THIS TUESDAY is the release. And I'm even more excited now that I was then. So many new videos came out and now I know what I'm missing and I can't freaking wait! I wish there was a Midnight release party near me because I would have gotten it then. As it is, I have to spend the beginning of Tuesday at work, waiting. I'm not very patient and it's going to kill me. I wont get to go to Best Buy till after 3 p.m.

By that time about a million people probably will have bought it, installed it, created their own sims, built them a home, had them whoo hoo, have kids, and their kids are having kids...and I'll STILL be at work waiting to buy it.

LOOK AT ALL THE COOL STUFF WE GET TO DO NOW!!!

Go ahead and laugh!

I think I’m a rather funny person. Not on purpose, I just do and say funny things. This is a recent development, since I’m more comfortable in my own skin and I don’t take things as serious as I once did.

This is what transpired between me and my roomie last night.

It was almost 10 p.m. We were watching the end of Charm School and Ashley was talking my ear off, as she tends to do when she misses me and hasn’t spent time with me in days.

At some point she stopped talking about important stuff and was just making small talk, so I kiiiinda tuned her out some. (Hey I was talking to Rick on AIM, I was very amused…)

A commercial for Drag Me To Hell comes on T.V. Rick messages me and Lisa texts me all at the same time. Sorry Ash, but you’re getting ignored, I can only do so much multi tasking.

Ashley says, “I saw the theatrical trailers for this. She gets cursed cuz she wouldn’t give an old lady a loan.”

My brain which was occupied with Rick and Lisa takes the information and rewires it. This is what I heard:

“I saw the theatrical trailer for this. She gets cursed cuz she wouldn’t leave an old lady alone.”

Well hell THAT got my attention!

I was riveted now.

“Wait, hold up!” I stopped typing and looked at Ashley, my eyes bugging out. “This chick is going to hell cuz she wouldn’t leave an old lady alone!? What the hell!?”

Insert Ashley laughing her ass off at me.

“No, that’s not what I said--”

“Shit, remind me to leave old people alone. Sabes que, she tells me to leave her alone and I’m walking out the room.”

Is this as funny to you guys as it was to us? Cuz lemme tell you, we were laughing kinda hard. And I told her if it’s Rick or Lisa I’m talking to she needs to realize I wont be paying attention to her unless she’s talking about penises. And even then, it better be a big penis, it would help if she were waving said penis in my face too…

But that’s enough of that. Just thought I’d share. I was laughing a lot last night between Rick, Charm School (“I’m not ghetto, I’m just passionate.” & “I’m not quitting Charm School, I’m dropping out.”<---sounds the same to me) and Blog Talk Radio with the Sapphire Blue ladies.

It reminded me that I love to laugh.

Impromptu lil Shopping Spree

I spent almost $100 today! Yikes! I didn't meant to...

I wanted to go to Borders to get the new L.J. Smith book that I talked about the other nights, and the new Real Vampires series book because I still haven't bought it. (Last time I went to Waldenbooks they didn't have it).

So the plan was, 2 books, in and out, the end. Well on the way there, I remembered that I still hadn't bought Dead If I Do by Tate Hallaway and the new Victoria Laurie book from one of her series (that I looove). So it turned into 4 books...but then while I was looking for Real Vampires Don't Diet I saw Angie Fox's new book. I totally spaced out and forgot that already came out! So I HAD to buy it...right!?

Well I ended up buying all those books except for Real Vampires...the Milford Borders didn't have it...ok so I check their computer and it shows that the Fairfield store has it, so I'm going there next! I spent $50 in the first Borders...

Then my roomie needed to stop at Victoria's Secret for a bra...(DAMN) on the way there we detoured to another store and OMG they had the cutest freaking faeries on crescent moons!!! Figurines in all colors and sizes...I wanted them ALL!!!! Especially this purple one with crescent moons on her outfit and sitting in this cute ball (paper weight maybe?). Ashley and Jeff grabbed me dragged me out of the store! With NOTHING! :'(

So finally we arrive at Vickies. We were there for a while. I remembered that Ashley had a fragrance from them that I really liked so I asked her which one it was so I could buy it for myself. She finds it for me, but on the way there we spot some lip gloss!

Well let me tell you, three different color lip gloss, we both try one out, and OMG it was cute, it felt good, and it tasted freaking AWESOME! (Insert Jeff attacking my mouth in the middle of Vickies to taste the lip gloss....) so we HAD to freaking buy it!!! The most freaking expensive lip gloss I've EVER bought. $15!!!! I've never even bought regular lipstick for that much.

Ok so, I got the gloss and the perfume, we're in line...the roomie spots another perfume and she starts smelling them, and my nosy self sees a cute purple bottle, so I head over there. OMG that freaking purple bottle smelled sooooooooooooooooooo good. It's like freaking PERFECT for me! So I bought it too. :D Purchase came out to $40.

A stop at Best Buy (where I didn't buy anything, but went next door to Target to buy a Hot Dog and an Icee cuz I could smell the Hot Dogs from Best Buy, hehe) We finally get to the Borders in Fairfield...and they don't freaking have the book! Even though their computer says they have it. The lady went and checked everywhere and couldn't find it. When I get my hands on the person who stole it, or shelved it in the wrong place, I'm going to wring their neck(s)! So no book...and THEN I saw a new Rachel Gibson book!!!! I LOVE her, I have almost EVERY book she's written. And that evil roommate of mine dragged me away from the book and didn't let me buy it. :'(

Made it home 10 minutes before Gossip Girl started tonight...whew. What a day.

In honor of my awesomely expensive lip gloss...

Viva!

So guess what I've decided to do?

I've decided to join Lisa on her Vegas trip!

WHAT!?

Yeah, I know. Kooky aint it? I've always wanted to go to Vegas and she invited me, and in an unlikely Jen fashion, I accepted. :P

It'll be mucho fun! I get to see Lisa and hang out with her. I'll get a much needed vacation (haven't had once since I started working at the Laundromat almost 3 years ago), and maybe I'll even get some writing done!

No constant interruptions! No clingy rommie, no attention seeking whore of a cat. Whoo hoo!

I think I'll be V-logging everyday while I'm there, keep you guys in the loop of our adventures and the crazy shenanigans Lisa will get me into. :P

So now I need mula! Save save save, store my money like squirrels store away nuts.

I need money for the airplane tickets, no biggie I'll probably purchase them next week or the week after that (which reminds me, I gotta ask Lisa the specific dates and stuff...) I also need money to spend. Food, slots (hehe), whatever else strikes my fancy...I can be quite fanciful at times. Oh and I need to buy some clothes before I go there.

Which reminds me: I should probably attempt to lose some weight, shouldn't I? Well if I must...LOL! My ass will never go to the gym (again), I'm too self-conscious. Why is it that the gym is always full of skinny people? You're already skinny, why are you still running on that treadmill like Freddy Krueger is chasing you? You never see an unfit person. When I used to go I was always the only non-skinny individual. It was freaking embarrassing and nerve wracking. I thought that if I went with someone that I'd feel better...I probably shouldn't have gone with my old roommate, with her trail mix eating skinny self!

But anyway...I'm rambling...

Point is I'm not going to the gym. I'll pull out my DDR mat and play on work out mode. LOL. I'm serious about that!

Btw...DDR is Dance Dance Revolution for the non-gamers out there.

So I "gots" alot to do before August. But Im' determined! I wont even think about the fact that Nevada is all deserty and I'm sure there are lizards scurrying about. (I have a lizard phobia) But I wont think about it!!!

Maybe I should put a Vegas sign on my wall to keep me motivated...

This Night Just Keeps Getting Better

I know I said I was going to bed like almost an hour ago but I have to blog about this.

I don't even think I can go to sleep tonight! I'm too hyped up.

This has been one of the best nights of my life...and I guess some of you will think it's sad when you read WHY it's been such an awesome night. But you know what...I don't give a fuck! :D

I have friends out there that will get me and those are the ones I'm talking to in this blog.

Let's recap my awesome points of the night:

I watched one of the funniest, saddest, best episodes of Bones.

I saw and am anticipating the season finale of Bones (Bones and Booth NAKED in bed together...doesn't get better than that)

My friend Dylan came over. YAY, I love her.

I get to see her perform Saturday.

I read and reviewed (http://bookverse.blogspot.com) an amazing book called Remembering Ashby by Heather Long.

*Drum roll*

The following events lead to the pinnacle of the night.

Because Lisa Pietsch introduced me to Heather Long and her book, I befriended Heather on myspace...

And you would not believe who one of her top friends is!

LISA JANE SMITH!!! OMG!!!

L.J. Smith is the person responsible for my book addiction. The reason why I read and review books! I used to read in class and participated in Battle of the Books, and even read ahead in reading class...but I never thought to read outside of school...

Until The Forbidden Game Trilogy by L.J. Smith.

The summer after 7th grade...me and my two best friends at the time, the Anna twins, were at my house bored out of our minds! Well it so happens that Anna Maria had a book she just took out of the library and so we decided, what the heck! Let's read it out loud to eachother, its something to do.

I went first...I was only supposed to read the first chapter but they liked the way I read and I was digging the book so I just kept doing...

An hour later I was halfway done with the book and hadn't even noticed I had read for so long. I begged Anna M. to let me borrow the book overnight. And the rest, is history.

After I read the first part of The Forbidden Game I went to the library and got the other two. Then I moved on to The Vampire Diaries, The Secret Circle, and Dark Visions. From that moment on I've been reading, I've never stopped. And it's all because of her.

Then she kinda just fell off the face of the earth, no one knew anything from her since like 1998. I even remember once a while back googling her and not coming up with anything. And TONIGHT I stumbled across her and I was shocked and amazed...

And then I went to her site. And you will not believe what I just found!!!

The Vampire Diaries: The Return!!!

OH MY GOD! NEW STUFF! NEW OLD STUFF!!! WHAT CAN BE BETTER THAN THAT!?!?

So I am beyond giddy! I can't sleep, I don't know what to do with myself. I am so excited! I wish there was a 24hour Borders around so I could go buy the book! And I'm so thankful that I'm the book geek I am and that a few years back I saw The Vampire Diaries at Borders and bought them. So I have the 4 books. So I can re-read them (because it's been years since I've re-read any of her stuff) and then read the NEW one!!!!

And that's why I'm on top of the world right now.

Bones Talk!!!

Stewie from Family Guy was in Bones tonight and it was as funny as I thought it was going to be! Hilarious watching David Boreanaz argue with the lil cartoon baby.

The whole baby talk was hilariously giddy! I loved the beginning when Booth and Brennan are in Sweets' office and are playing the word association game. Everytime Booth said "Whoa" she said "Horse"!!!

I love the ending, I cried like the last 5-10 minutes. And omg, Booth looked so cute, vulnerable, and so sad in his hospital gown. I just wanted to hold him against my bosom and comfort him! (God I love David Boreanaz...)

I laughed! I cried! Boyyyy did I cry!!!

I can't believe the season finale is next week and boyyyyy what a finale it's going to be!!! So many things going on...

Everyone is a murder suspect. Zack comes back for the episode (yay) and is also a suspect. And Booth and Brennan are in bed NAKED!!!!!!!

THEY'RE GONNA DOOOOOOOOOO IT!!!!!

OH MY GOD! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I WISH THE WEEKEND WAS ALREADY OVER...I NEED IT TO BE THURSDAY ALREADY!!!

Even though I don't know what I'll do while Bones is off the air...guess watch the DVDs and watch this season on the Fox site.

OH MY GOD TONIGHT'S EPISODE BETTER BE UP SOON BECAUSE I WANNA WATCH IT AGAIN!!!

This is worse than when I saw the Christmas episode where they kissed under the mistletoe.

V-Log on Monday...

Don't mind my appearance, I know I look horrible.

Here's the link I mention for Lisa's blog entry.

All the noise in the background is the cat's doing...and it's the reason why I keep looking around the kitchen..HAHA. Swear I'm not on drugs!!!


Moonie's Rambling Musings...LOL
