i'm having a board game night with some friends from work tomorrow and i'm excited! whoever is not on my team for pictionary, be forewarned, i'm awesome!
p.s: i have a bruise on my wrist that looks like a dirt smudge and absentmindedly i keep trying to wipe it clean. i feel like such a dirt bag with it!
i've felt like such a dweeb (aka maaaaajor creep) this past month!! i keep seeing people around and think "why does this person look so familiar?!" then i realize, oh, i've totally creeped their blog/facebook...
what is the internet doing to us?
whats even worse is when i see someone i recognize, think i just know them from facebook or something so act like i don't know them, THEN remember that i've totally met this person in real life once before. arg!
i hate when people recognize me though and i have nooooo idea who they are. or when people at work (rogers) read my name tag and use my name because i never know if i then know the person (like friend of a friend, or parent's friend, etc.) and then i get awkward and feel bad. on tuesday when i was working this guy around my age came in with his sister and he looked a little familiar but not really, just like a customer i'd seen before and i say hi like i do to everyone and he says hi back. then at the til he asks "so what have you been up to lately blah blah blah" which freaks me out because he's acting like i hardcore know him and im totally clueless to who he is. after he left i thought he may have been some guy a few weeks ago who asked me while i was at rogers working if i'd gone to a certain bar the night before and struck up major convo with me. either way...i become an awkward person with stuff like that, but hey, at least i didnt blush!! (if you've never seen me blush, my blush is intense and i blush really easily, my entire head (ears included) go BRIGHT BRIGHT red. and its extremely noticeable. i never used to blush at all until about a year ago, then it just went haywire, i guess to make up for my lack of blushing previously.)
blushing (according to wiki): To blush is to display redness in one's face; the term is usually used when the redness is a result of an emotional response, which could reflect embarrassment, shame, or modesty.Blushing is more common in women. Considerable blushing can be observed amongst unmarried young girls at the prospect of sexual activity. (ahaha) Blushing can also be associated with being in love. Blushing is generally distinguished, despite a close physiological relation, from flushing, which is more intensive and extends over more of the body, and seldom has a mental source.
shawn had put on the flight of the conchords at work yesterday, and i've been singing these two songs ever since:

found this scarf on some website. they have scarves made out of upper case and lower case letters, and one made up on numbers. personally i would never wear it, but cute idea. plus, i think it would get caught on a lot of stuff and tear
http://www.enchanteddoll.com/ Marina Bychkova is a doll maker, and she is amazing. check out her website to see more of her work, it was so hard limiting it to these few images. the faces on the dolls are incredible, and each is very unique.
so i just read an article at cabnit magazine online and the images thuroughly creeped me out. so much so that i didn't want to put scary pictures of corpses on my blog so i used this image of not so scary ones from the corpse bride. what am i talking about you ask? oh you know, just your everyday museum of the dead.
"Put me in your suitcase, let me help you pack Cuz you're never coming back, no you're never coming back
Cook me in your breakfast and put me on your plate Cuz you know I taste great, yeah you know I taste great
At the hop it's greaseball heaven With candypants and archie too
Put me in your dry dream or put me in your wet If you haven't yet, no if you haven't yet Light me with your candle and watch the flames grow high No it doesn't hurt to try, it doesn't hurt to try
Well I won't stop all of my pretending that you'll come home You'll be coming home, someday soon
Put me in your blue skies or put me in your gray There's gotta be someway, there's gotta be someway Put me in your tongue tie, make it hard to say That you ain't gonna stay, that you ain't gonna stay
Wrap me in your marrow, stuff me in your bones sing a mending moan, a song to bring you home"
dear brain, what the heck is up with my dreams lately? for the past few months, i've been having awful sleeps and almost always having nightmares! cut it out!! love lauren
