Ok, its Thursday! Which is a hop, skimp, and a jump to the weekend, so thats a-ok with me! Ok, as I sit here listening to Taylor Swift's new song "Out Song" (which is brilliant, by the way) I will start my "Thursday Thoughts" with a BIG Fashion No No!

Ok...so...I've had these thoughts for a LONG TIME about Crocs. I've kept them to myself for the most part but I just can't contain my feelings anymore. CROCS ARE THE MOST WRETCHED, UGLIEST INVENTION IN HISTORY. When I first saw them ages ago at the mall I was like "ew...who would wear those?" and soon they started popping up on little girl's feet everywhere. I was thinking HMM I hope this is a short fad. But then little boys started wearing them too! Then I nearly choked on a pop tart when I saw an ADULT woman at work wearing them. Now MEN are joining in. I'm really sorry, I hope I'm not offending people....but HONESTLY, whats so cute about them? They don't match ANY outfit, are clunky, and I ALWAYS see people twisting their ankles and getting hurt in them. Plus, I heard on the news the other day that some kid got his croc stuck on an escalator and it RIPPED HIS TOE OFF! Jeez...now if that isn't a sign to dispose of crocs immediately, I don't know what is. Whats worse are the new designs! A little girl at work had "fancy crocs" for a school program. It was a croc that was modified to look like a dressy shoe. Honestly, if you are going to wear a fancy dress up shoe for a nice event, get the REAL THING, not a DISGUSTING croc disguised as something nice. It would be Richard Simmons in a hairnet...you can attempt to cover up the ugly but its STILL THERE.

On a happier note...today I realized something kind of swell. So, heres the back story. I get paid tomorrow, and I only have only 5 dollars left until then. (Sad, I know, but hey Im 21! Having 5 dollars left is practically a miracle, I think Im the only 21 year old I know who doesnt have any credit card debt or hasnt bounced a check). So, on my way to work I passed McDonalds and saw a lady sitting outside eating a srumptious looking hot cake. And, let me get this straight, I only go to McDonalds twice a year or so (minus the few random times where i crave a McFlurry), so I'm not really aware of their options. So I was at work talking to my coworker Andrea, and I said "I'm so hungry, I want McDonalds breakfast but I only have 5 bucks". And she said "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You could get tons of stuff with that!". I honestly had forgotten how cheap fast food can be, if I go out to eat its usually at a sit-down place with friends or take-out chinese (mmm sweet and sour chicken and cream cheese wantons...I know what I'm gonna do first on pay day) so yeah...the low low prices kind of floored me! I had a DELUXE breakfast (3 pancakes, a sausage thing, eggs, and a buscuit) for like $3.89 or something. I still had OVER a dollar to spare! What an amazing start to the morning! And on my way home I got to listen to Kevyn and Jim Gaf***an laugh about hot pockets. Heh heh.

So, romantic comedies are pretty much the best anti-depression remedy ever. I've had a LOT of stuff happen to me in the past couple months (car accidents, family problems, and apartment floodings, OH MY!) but even though I am single and should be sad watching these alone, romantic comedies make me feel all cozy and warm and happy, even though I have nobody to share it with. I've spent so many days lately just relaxing, curled up in a nice fuzzy blanket and a cup of creamy hot chcolate watching predictable impossible sweet-as-heck romances float before my eyes. Don't get me wrong, I love those qualities. I LIKE knowing that in the end everything will be all right and everyone will be happy and in love. That way I don't get so gloomy during the sad parts, because I always no SOME way SOME how some crazy thing will bring the two together and everything will be just peachy. As much as I wish those things could happen to me, I know it won't and I'm ok with that. I mean...I don't think I'd like to meet someone at the top of the empire state building anyways. I've been up there and its too cold and windy, I'd much rather meet the love of my life someplace warm and cozy like a ski lodge by a nice crackling fire instead. I really want to make a group on this site about romantic comedies, but there is no "movie" section! So I don't know where to make it. Any suggestions?

Alright, next topic. This ones a gross one. So, a little less than 2 weeks ago I came home at about midnight and as I opened the door I was greeted by stepping into about 3 inces of water. The pipes backed up into our apartment and flooded the kitchen and half of the living room. I spent over 2 hours trying to mop it all up (and I got pretty wet in the process too). Not only that, but it backed up other people's water into our apartment so I was cleaning up meatballs and noodles of strangers. The next day I spent several hours cleaning the crap hole of a mess that my roomate left (me and my roomate are like the odd couple...I'm very clean and shes lazy and refuses to clean up any mess she makes) so that when the people came to clean our carpet they wouldn't want to vomit from the mess. Well, my roomate kind of sat and watched me and when I asked her to help she said she had to leave for work soon. Well, she continued to watch TV for 30 minuites as I cleaned up her countless wrappers and she still refused to help. So, when I turned on the vaccum cleaner to vaccum up the bowl of ceral she had spilled a week before and didn't clean up, she turned up the volume on the TV so she could hear. See, I kind of take refuge in my room so I avoid the gross-ness of the living room. When I first moved in I would clean up her messes, but then I got sick of it because she kind of just expected ME to do it all. Anyways, then she got up to leave for work and realized her watch was an hour fast. So she went back into her room to sleep, and when I said "hey, this is your mess I'm cleaning" she said thank you and shut the door. In the word of the wise old Charlie Brown: UGHHHHH! Ok, well, its a little over a week later and our carpet is clean but it still stinks and now these icky nats have invaded our apartment and are swarming anywhere there is water (kitchen and bathroom). It is SOOO gross, I hung up fly paper and caught HUNDREDS of the pests and they still abound. I know this is gross, but I am running out of ideas and I don't know what to do!!! Any suggestions??

OCTOBER IS ALMOST HERE! Hurray! Halloween is my second-favourite holiday in the history of holidays. (Christmas of course trumps all). Well, I get really festive as soon as october 1st hits. I've already gathered a pile of movies to watch for as soon as the month changes. I have a bunch of horror movies (Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, Children Of The Corn, House On Haunted Hill, etc) but I also have a bunch of kid's movies and comedy specials as well (Mad Monster Party...who remembers this??? Its a Rankin Bass movie, you know, the makers or Rudolph??) I also have this random DVD where it is a haunted house and you click on random items to see vintage horror show features and shorts from the 1920s-1970's. It even has a virtual tour through an old carnival spook house! The DVD is called "Monsters Crash The Pajama Party" in case anyone is interested. Some things you click on are really random like a man in a monkey soon doing strange hand motions at the camera or dancing halloween masks. Also, I can't wait to gather some friends up (but this year nobody really wants to do this which makes me sad because they said its too scary) and do some haunted hayrides and haunted houses and stuff. Yes, Im 21 but I still have a blast at these. Valley Scare is amazing, Trail Of Terror scares the crap out of me which is fun, Nightmare at Pinehaven Farm is a tradition, and Fright Farm is a great low-cost fun scare. I'm going to try other ones this year as well. However, last year at Trail Of Terror an obese clown was chasing me around honking a horn at my butt saying "Do I make you horny?". I'm not even kidding. My friends thought it was hilarious, but I tohught it was gross! I mean, I can laugh now, but at the time my skin was crawling because it was so perverted. Oh, and on Halloween itself I will probably go to the Gay 90's like I did last year. It was pretty fun, everyone is all in costume (well, people are usually dressed up in silly outfits there anyways, but Halloween even moreso!)

 Ohh Scarlett Johanson is on TV! Isn't she gorgeous? I think she is the best actress out there these days. She reminds me of the glamourous beauties who graced the silver screen in the 1930's and 1940's. If you haven't seen the movie "A Good Woman" with Scarlett and Helen Hunt, it is a MUST see. Stellar performances by both gals. I don't know, I just think Scarlett is classy with fabulous fashion sense and I appreciate her views about life and such. She has strong opinions and it is admirable how she sticks with her thoughts even though some people strongly disagress with her.

Ok, so my mom said she accidenly misplaced my autographs of Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, and Jane Wyman (who recently passes away, RIP). And these aren't reproductions, they are GENUINE on the level autographs. I kept them in my old room (they were the only thing left in my old room on top of the hutch, the only furniture left in it). I kept them there because they are my prized belongings and I felt safer keeping them there than at my apartment (I can be pretty paranoid). Well, my mom said she moved them so she could dust and can't remember where she put them. And now I am so sad and hope she can find them.

Alright...if you stayed with me and read my rambling at this point, I must say thank you, how did you manage to get this far without getting annoyed with my random tangents??? I was just kind of in a talkative mood (granted I never shut up anyhow), and because I had nobody here to talk I figured, hey, I shall blog!

So thanks for reading and have a SWELL day and a lovely weekend!!!!
