Let's see how much info I can shove into one post:
* Busy season at work officially ended last week. WOOT! Monday was a pretty laidback day at work. We all stopped working at about 2, and several people headed over to the bar at 4. The party officially started at 6. It was pretty fun, but I have a feeling it was a lot more enjoyable for the drunk people. But considering I've never been drunk in my life and just have no desire to be, I left about 9:30 when things started getting really loud and I was beginning to see some of my coworkers act in ways I'd rather not see. Plus, I had an hour commute home, and I was really tired. However, before I left there was a game tournament going on, and one of my coworkers (Debbie) talked me into being her personal cheerleader since I wasn't playing any games. So I made her a sign and cheered her on. And when other people saw my sign, they started making their own signs for other people. It was pretty funny.
* I had Tuesday off because the office was closed. It was a great day! I slept until 10:45, did laundry, got my haircut, went grocery shopping, bought some gorgeous flowers for my balcony, made dinner and watched Gilmore Girls with![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
enigmaticblues and ctiensvold. All in all, it was really relaxing, but I still managed to get a lot done. The best kind of day off if you ask me. And for the rest of the week I left work right around 5. I feel like I have so much time on my hands now, I don't know what to do.
* I ran Powerpoint today at church, and I flubbed it up bad. See, running Powerpoint doesn't seem like that big of a deal until you realize that not only does the congregation rely on me for the words to the songs we're singing. The worship band itself also relies on me for the words and the order of the verses, etc. So when I mess up by skipping a slide or getting ahead of myself or having slides out of order, all of which I did today, it pretty much messes everyone up. And it was like once I messed up the first time, I just couldn't stop messing up. *hangs head in shame* I know I need to get over it, as I'm sure everyone else has. But being the perfectionist that I am, it still bugs me. Oh well, it's a good lesson for me. It keeps me from getting a big head over having been dubbed the best Powerpoint tech at church and it reminds me that 1) I am not perfect and 2) it doesn't really matter if I mess up Powerpoint at church because it's not really about me. It's about worshipping God, rather.
* I have become madly addicted to Farscape. I'm currently watching Season 3, and it really only took a few episodes for the obsession to set in. Aeryn Sun rocks my world. And John and Aeryn have to be one of the hottest couples I have ever seen on TV. *sigh* I may have to go watch some more now. Oh yeah, and I bought Season 1 on Amazon today so that once I finish up Season 3, I can go back and refresh myself on the first two seasons of the show. It's been a couple of years since I've watched them, and it appears that it's going to be awhile until Season 4 comes out in the Starburst editions. I consider all the other versions too expensive to buy. Seriously, I'd rather spend $60 on a season than $120.
* I also have two new musical loves. The first is The Fray, thanks to the radio play of their song, Cable Car, and their cd for $10 at Target. The second is Dresden Dolls, who I checked out thanks to_lashingoutloud's constant praise of them. They are so very weird, but their lyrics are so incredibly deep and truthful. Yeah, I think it's love.
* I rewatched episode 6x19 of the Gilmore Girls today. Why I'm not sure, other than I really wanted to rewatch it. If I could just cut out the last 10 minutes of that episode, it would be what I consider a highly enjoyable episode. I have serious love for it. But once Lorelai grabs those 20 shots of tequila, I start squirming. Literally squirming. And covering my eyes. I just can't take it. I mean, I love that it's so horribly embarrassing because that means it's done well. But ugh, it's so horrifying it breaks my heart. Plus, I found myself liking Christopher even more the second time I watched it. And I just saw a Chris/Lorelai icon from that episode that I love and really, really want. But...something must be seriously wrong with me, so I resisted the urge to save it and upload it to my userpics.
* My roommate has now begged me three times to shoot her so that she can get out of her first year law school finals which start tomorrow. I, selfishly, will not do so. I like having her around too much and would be too miserable to get out of bed if she wasn't around. But I do understand her fear. Two weeks of finals that count for 70-100% of your grades and cover the entire year sound scary. But she is brilliant and has been studying her derriere off, so I know she will do well. I know it.
* I am allergic to the sun...luckily only very, very mildly. But always at this time of year, until I get a tan (and I'm talking a very slight tan here as I pretty much stay white-looking year round), I get a rash from the sun. I currently have it on my right hand, and it kind of hurts. And yes, there is no point to me posting about it other than to whine.
* I worked out for the first time in probably a year today. But I can no longer stand the sight of my fat body. I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow. But now I just have to motivate myself to keep up this working out at least three to four times a week. Bah! I hate working out. But I do like the results...
OK, I think I've successfully babbled about nothing for long enough.
