I just spent the weekend feeling like I was in college again, but in a good way. Scott and I had a party, technically two. Hung out with friends on Saturday and Sunday, pretty much all day. I had a total blast. I miss hanging out with groups of people.

I got completely and totally trashed, and that was the only bad part of the weekend. I'm not even going to tell you how many times I threw up. Aside from being trashed it was a completely perfect weekend and exactly what I needed.

Now remind me again why I was ever in a hurry to grow up??? I have a condo, a dog, a car, a live in boyfriend, a job, a life, what more could I possibly need?

tv to movies

Summer is here, which means aside from old Law & Order reruns there's nothing I want to watch. Not that there was much anyway. I like Desperate Housewives and Scrubs, and everything else I don't care. So the summer will be spent watching Red Sox games and trying to spend time outside - but we also need to watch movies.

So, we're going to give netflix a try, b/c I don't know that I really want to try HBO. Movies to see:

Godfather (not me, Scott)
The Usual Suspects
Waking Life
White Noise
Dodgeball
Pride and Prejudice

Then there's all these movies I want to own, and more I want to see in theaters. So, aside from dedicating my time to quilting this summer (to make gifts for everyone in the world) I'll be watching movies as much as I can.

OMG you must be dying!

Ok, so working in the healthcare field is great, but I went from dealing with cancer patients to hearing about freakish ways that people died.

This has changed me. Before I did any of these jobs when someone got sick I would say, oh it's just a cold, or oh, it's just a bug bite. But now I think it must be the worst. I'm not thinking they're going to die, but it's never the easy way out anymore. Now, for example, my brother's neck/chin area is swollen. My mother told him to take some benadryl it's probably a bug bite. My first thought is, it could be your thyroid enflamed you should go to the doctor.

I'm suddenly like that little kid in Kindergarden Cop "maybe it's a tumor". People don't need to go on to WebMD to find out what could possibly be wrong with them, if they want to fear the worst they should just come talk to me.

The Road to Nowhere

Ok, so all my life I always had these themesongs for myself. Weird I know. But they always kind of described where I was in my life. I've decided to revert back to that.

In HS it was Harvey Danger - flagpole sitta - because basically lets face it I'm totally insane.

Somewhere in college there was another, but then my junior year I decided it would be she's got legs - b/c that was my whory self at the time. I liked to flirt and meet boys.

Now it's going to be Road to Nowhere by Talking Heads. This seems to sum up my life right now. I don't think I'm going nowhere. I just don't know where I'm going, only where I've been. And I can't take anyone's path but my own. I just need to see where that path goes.

Talking Heads - Road to Nowhere:

Well we know where we’re goin’
But we don’t know where we’ve been
And we know what we’re knowin’
But we can’t say what we’ve seen
And we’re not little childrenAnd we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

We’re on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin’ that ride to nowhere
We’ll take that ride

I’m feelin’ okay this mornin’
And you know,We’re on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go

Chorus

Maybe you wonder where you are
I don’t care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there...take you there

We’re on a road to nowhere
We’re on a road to nowhere
We’re on a road to nowhere

There’s a city in my mind
Come along and take that rideAnd it’s all right, baby, it’s all right
And it’s very far away
But it’s growing day by day
And it’s all right, baby, it’s all right
They can tell you what to do
But they’ll make a fool of you
And it’s all right, baby, it’s all right
We’re on a road to nowhere
