Could I be any more random?

I'm over reading all the lies a select few of my friends write in their MySpace surveys. I like to do the surveys for fun and to write smart-ass remarks to make myself laugh (and maybe someone else). It is not an arena to declare (all ADD-like in one survey) how depressed, happy, wonderful, yet shitty your life is. It seems like 2 different people took your survey, which makes reading it slightly confusing. Make. It. Stop. You're not going to make people talk to you if you're impersonating Two-Face. Trust me.

It's a good thing I'm being hypocritical tonight and starting off with something negative. It just really gets me how different people are on MySpace even though you think you're friends in "real life". It's just a strange divide to me. I always try to be as honest with myself as possible when people make friend requests and then don't talk to me for months. So, did you "friend" me just to read about my life but not want to comment or interact with me? Deleted. Sorry, but I'm not in a contest, or involved in any profession, which requires me to have X number of friends to raise my self esteem. If we hardly talked in high school, it's a good chance that we'll hardly talk now. As much as I would like to reconnect with some friends I was fond of in school, it's just such a strange way to communicate (not to mention I'm realistic with how many people I can keep in touch with).....I guess I'm a little old fashioned thinking that a friend is just a phone call away.

Now stepping out of my Delorean in 2008....

I had a really good day at work today. I felt productive and accomplished more than I thought I would, except for getting to work on time. I was 3 minutes late (I have to physically clock in) and I hoped that wasn't going to be the start of a bad day. I had already felt like I picked out a cute outfit and felt really good when I left home. It may seem vain, but the jubilation I get when I leave the house in a cute, comfortable outfit gives me vibes of a great day ahead.

Haven't been making it to any classes all week but I will be going to yoga tomorrow to get my butt back into the rhythm of my schedule. I got screwed up when I went to San Diego for the weekend and didn't do all my normal errands so I did them during the week. I have to say, it was completely worth it to spend the weekend down there. It's so beautiful and makes me want to move there each time I go. Too bad my company doesn't have any sort of department down there ::sigh:: We were celebrating my friend's (and former roommate's) birthday and had an awesome time. Makes me miss not seeing her as often as I used to.

Have finally finished reading Atonement and I've got to say, I wasn't sure why they decided to make this into a movie. Which, in my opinion, wasn't worth a Best Picture nomination. I have nothing good to say about the book other than I'm glad I finished it. I was contemplating going towards the light if I didn't see an ending in sight. I appreciated the costumes in the movie, other than the fact that the infamous green dress Keira Knightley wore looked like it had laser cutouts on the bodice/neckline. I don't think that before WWII they would be using lasers for fashion (I could be mistaken though).

Looking through all the books I have to read, I'm having trouble deciding which direction I want to go. I am feeling timid after reading Atonement, in getting myself into another drab period novel. I have The Other Boleyn Girl, Twilight, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and a few Jane Austen novels. Too many books, so little time to read....

Project Runway wasn't as noteworthy tonight. The designers did a challenge to create an outfit for the opening ceremony at the Summer Olympics, exclusively for the women. I was only blown away by one designer (Terri is her name, I think) who did a great sportswear blazer/slacks combo that had a 70's feel to it. The only thing I would have changed was the blazer since it's the summer Olympics and who knows how hot it is in Beijing. I wish she would have won, but the girl who did win designed white linen, high wasted, wide legged pants, with a white vest, with a little red and blue trim detail. Didn't really look athletic, or American, to me. Oh well, I did get a kick out of Michael Kors cracking up over Nina Garcia's comments on one of the stranger designs. He's got a contagious laugh and usually doesn't let down his guard often, so it's nice when he lets loose and finds something to giggle about. I'm beginning to lose faith in my show especially since they'll be moving to L.A. next year. I'm scared it's only going to be downhill from here....

Happy dreams.
