That's usually why I ask for no ice. I hate how the drink tastes once the ice melts.

The Veronicas - Someone Wake Me Up

No, together works. Of course I kid.

I would have to say it's a three-way tie between Cherry Coke, Welch's Grape soda, and Sprite. It all depends on my mood, really. Lately, though, I've been really big on water and ice tea.

I strive to be a really good listener. I absolutely hate it when people don't remember things I've told them numerous times, so I would hate to be that person that's always forgetting. There's no better way to show someone that they're not important to you than to not remember little details here or there. When I'm in a stressful situation, though, I'm the worst listener in the world. It's actually freaky how it happens. I just focus in on one thing and shut out everything around me. It's not until minutes later that I realize that someone was talking and I completely ignored them. I hate when this happens!

On Monday I finally get my two raises and my keys!

Linkin Park - Shadow of the Day

Absolutely adore this song. Mariah Carey - We Belong Together

Garbage - Cup of Coffee

Regina Spektor - Fidelity

The Magnetic Fields - I Thought You Were My Boyfriend

I did too. I remember I first heard the song when I was like 11, and I was riding in the car with my sister and my aunt. It was not the censored version, and I thought it was the most vulgar thing I had ever heard. When I came across it again yearssss later, I found myself quite fond of it. 'Closer' is a little more listener friendly than the 8-letter title I was used to. The Postal Service - Such Great Heights

Yeah, I love his voice! Nine Inch Nails - Closer

You were right! He is planning to move in with the boyfriend. The trouble is the guy lives in Kentucky! He's a flight attendant so he comes to Houston a lot, and they often spend the weekend and stuff together, but apparently they've decided it's time to do the moving in thing, and they've mutually agreed that William should move there. Yep, Scott's pretty upset about the whole thing, plus he's out a roommate! AND to top it all off something else kinda cruddy just happened to him. So I'm seriously feeling for Scott As for William...well I'm pretty conflicted. I'm going to miss him like crazy of course! And I'm just kinda in shock about the whole thing. But I'm also pretty happy for him. I mean he's really happy and excited, and it sounds like he's just ready to leave Texas in general. So even though I think he might be rushing things and moving more quickly than I would advise, I think in general if he just wants to get out there and try something new he might be doing what's right for him. I mean I up and moved to a new state and I didn't have a boyfriend - however new - waiting for me. I'm just really torn. I mean he is a very independent person, and I think he'll be fine. I mean he'll definitely meet people and make a lot of new friends, and I could see him being fine even if they did break up. Plus he'd have the option of coming back. I mean I know we'd welcome him back and do what we could to help him get back on his feet. So all in all I think for him it might be a good decision. He's doing something he wants to do, it has the potential to turn out really great, and even if it doesn't I think he'll be okay. ...now I just need to explain all that to Scott. Wow. I kinda didn't want to be right. lol. But yeah, it sounds like a great opportunity for him, especially if he just feels like the need to switch things up. I just really feel for Scott. From what I take, they're really good friends. To have a really good friend not only want to move out, but move to another state... that's got to hurt. Not only that, but now Scott has to find someone else to live with. I suppose he could always find a roommate, but to find someone compatible to live with has always been hard for me. It's good that William is independent though. I would be worried if he was moving up there for the wrong reasons, and then be stranded by himself. How did you decide that you wanted to move to Texas? Was it spur of the moment, or did you have friends or some connection? I've had the oddest urge to move lately to a completely different state. It's not plausible at the moment because of school, but I wonder if I would actually do it when I'm finished. Scary thought.

Thank god I'm not the only one. I just assumed everyone rhymed it with sir, and when i read the replies, i felt like such a blond.

Five For Fighting - Superman

Religious views are a very personal issue. I, personally, am not religious. I understand the reasoning behind it, and I like the concept of it if it means making people more morally conscious and empathetic. However, I hate it when religious people take my lack of religious views to mean that I have no morals or values. If people are accepting, I have no problem. Although I would like to say for certain that it would not be an issue, I really don't know. I'd like to believe that it wouldn't. I'm not really sure.

I actually prefer "slept with" to f*ck or make love. F*ck sounds too vulgar for my tastes, and "making love" makes me want to gag. I suppose "had sex with" would work, though it's sort of blunt. Actually sleeping with someone would come out as "I slept next to so-and-so last night" for me.

Mario - How Do I Breathe

I didn't think David was that bad, but I felt so terrible when he forgot the lyrics... twice. The second time he covered it up better. God, I can imagine what was going through his head.

3 Doors Down - Let Me Go

Sugababes - Open The Door love this song!

So lately I've been kind of emotional, and I haven't pinned it to anything. I'm controlling my emotions in the sense that only one or two people even know that things are affecting me the way they are. I've done a pretty good job of putting on a smile and not letting it affect my performance at work or my mood around my friends. Whenever I get home, though, I just feel like I want to eat a pint of ice cream and watch Will & Grace and not think about anything else (which I of course haven't done repeatedly, or not, say, yesterday or anything). I'm starting to realize why I'm so sensitive lately. It's getting close. He's leaving in 26 days. I just don't know what to do. When I first found out he was leaving, I was hurt. He knew this, but I never got to tell him why. We had a talk, but it was just him saying that he didn't want me to be upset with him and that he would still come down and visit, and that he didn't want to leave, but it's something that he had to do. I don't want him to go. Since he told me he's leaving, our relationship hasn't been the same. We don't talk on the phone, we don't hang out, I don't know what's going on in his life. We see each other at work, but it's not the same since I'm constantly being observed. I feel like I've already lost him, and I kind of have the feeling that he was trying to distance himself to make things easier when he left. I understand the reasoning, but I still think it was selfish of him. Shouldn't he want to hang out as much as possible before he left? The way he's been acting has just made me question our whole friendship. These last couple of days, he's kind of been acting like he did before. He's being playful at work, and he's leaving me comments on myspace and whatnot. I'm not really responding, though. It just feels weird. It feels like it's too little too late. I guess because I've been so upset for so long, I've come to expect some grand gesture to prove that he's still a good guy and he still values our friendship. I know it's not coming. I want to tell him not to leave, but I know that's not what he needs. It just feels like I'm screaming under my breath. I miss him. The old him, the one that didn't act like a careless, immature, inconsiderate prick. I want to slap him to his senses, but I don't know how. I guess there's really not much I can do at this point.

I'm anxiously awaiting the DVD release of Dan In Real Life. I LOVED it in theatres, and can't wait to own it. **omg, i just did a google search, and it's released on DVD tomorrow! freaky.

That made me actually giggle. I've never been a big water drinker until recently, but I can't drink tap water, especially after my environmental analysis and design class. I usually have bottled water on hand.
