So I totally thought that the new Coldplay CD was coming out today, it being Tuesday and all…

… and I found out that I was quite mistaken. Moreover, I realized this mistake when I went to Best Buy this morning when it opened. At 9AM.

Yeah, I feel pretty stupid.

So I had to settle for buying the new Lifehouse CD, which I am really, really enjoying.

Yes, I live to buy things. What of it?

So now that I’m a high school graduate, I should probably pick a future. Yeah, I know this is completely unrealistic to decide in one sitting or even in the course of a summer, but I’m going to try! Anyhow, please vote for what you think I should do in the comments.

Future 1: History Channel Producer
Explanation: I would simply love working for the History Channel. I love watching the programs on America history, mostly the ones about the presidents. I am a geek. Get over.
Positive: I would get to major in History in college, which would thrill me beyond pieces.
Negative: Ummm… how in the world do you get a job at the History Channel? I wouldn’t know where to start. I would probably have to go to school for TV production as well, which I don’t want to do. And if I don’t get that job at the History Channel, I’ll probably be stuck teaching history with my history degree, which is bad.

Future 2: Bakery Owner
Explanation: I’ve always had a passion for cooking, but mostly just deserts and bakery items, so I would rather open my own bakery than my own restaurant.

Positive: Great morning schedule. I’ll be done working by noon just about everyday.

Negative: All that pesky business stuff. I suppose I could always get a partner with a business degree, but then I wouldn’t be the sole receiver of profit, which is bad. Also, if I opened my own bakery I would be pretty much stuck wherever I did it, which is both good and bad. But this concerns me mostly in regards to my future husband, who I would never want to hold back in his career, so flexibility is valued.

Future 3: Secretary of Procreation
Explanation: This is really a fantasy future since this cabinet position doesn’t actually exist. But I would love to do something in politics, but without having to choose an actual party, because I would have a tough time doing that.
Positive: I would get to major in Political Science, which would be awesome. And I could live in Washington. And I could marry a Senator.
Negative: Ummm, I might have to commit to a party in order to further pursue this future. I really don’t know if I can do that.

Other possible career choices involve majoring in Hospitality or Chemistry (hey, I’m just crazy enough to do it). If I was a little better at bowling I would consider pursuing that, because I really do love it. I also would really enjoy being on the MPAA board where they watch the movies, count the curse words, boobs, and blood, and then assign a rating (y’know, R or PG-13).

Or could I just get someone to pay me for updating this site? I could be the first professional fangirl! Now that’s a future.

Maura thinks I need a new layout. Do I? and if so, what of?

I’ve been passed the baton several times. Here goes.

Total volume on music files on my computer:
I don’t know. I’m not good with computers. Bwahahahahaha

The last CD I bought was:
Badly Drawn Boy- Have You Fed the Fish

Song playing right now:
“Private Eyes” by Hall & Oates (hehehe. You caught me!)

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
1. “Secret” by Howie Day.
2. “I’m a Wheel” by Wilco.
3. “You’re the Ocean” by Teitur.
4. “Kill” by Jimmy Eat World.
5. “This Year’s Love” by David Gray.

I would pass the baton, but I think everyone’s got it already.

So, I was rather disturbed by something in my site statistics this morning…

It seems that someone made their way to my site by searching for “Teri Bauer REVIVED”

Oh please no. Don’t tell me that there are people out there who actually liked Teri Bauer. Come on. I threw up my hands in rejoice when Nina killed her. Thank goodness I don’t have to listen to her whining in season 2.

But seriously… I think Teri was one of the most annoying characters I ever saw on a TV show. Also? Jack is way too hot for her.

I still am in disbelief that someone would want to search for the possibility of her revival. Boooooooo. No. I will not let it happen.

TV, have you been reading my diary?

For today, I have an excerpt from Bill Chace: Pearls of Wisdom, a great new book about… who else? My father.

On political correctness:

“Well, he sounded like a young gay person.”

On my financial records:

“Yeah, you have a creative way of counting money.”

On my love life:

“You know how she is with those pizza guys. She’ll be Mrs. Papa Gino’s.”

On flirting AND synaesthesia:

“I know you were flirting with him. I could hear you winking.”

On being a movie casting director:

“What about a movie with Steve Zahn and Catherine Zeta-Jones. They should have been in National Treasure.”

Seriously, though. I have THE COOLEST dad. Ever. What, JEALOUS?

Have you lowered your cholesterol today?

I did.

I also lowered my high school attendance record today, but that’s beside the point.

I’m thinking about going on a Diet Coke with Splenda and Cheerio diet this summer. Who’s with me?

Do you remember when….? Britney and Justin were still together 4-eva! I sure do.

I still hope that Britney and Justin get back together someday.

Please Britney? I don’t think Kevin has taken a shower in about 7 years. Also, you used to have… errrmmm… well, I can’t really call it class persay, but yeah… class.

C’mon Britney. Fess up. The kid is Justin’s right? Please?

*PleaseletitbeJustin’s*

“But he can’t be denied croquet in the meantime.” – My dad.

Oh, dads say the darndest things, don’t they. My dad was asked today if he had gotten taller (he is 46 years old, so this is highly improbable… he’s also very tall… 6’2″ I think). His response? “Yes, I’ve finally sprouted.”

I seriously think I may have the coolest dad. Ever. I once had an argument with my friend Andrew over who had the coolest dad. I blurted out that he wrote Rick James’s “Superfreak.” (So not true… but can you top that for coolness?) Anywho… here’s a brief list of why my dad is the coolest:

1. His favorite actor is Steve Zahn.

… I think that’s all that needs to be said. See… my dad is AWESOME!
