UPDATES, UPDATES, UPDATES!!!

In an effort to feel more comfortable with giving my blog address out to more people, I'm "lightening up". Also, I'm working on the layout and different things to make people want to come back and check it out. For pure and unmatched intellect and cleverness, visit Steph's or Patrick's blog (if you have the address). Maybe I'll come up with something good every now and then, though... you'll never know unless you come back. [GRIN]

Real Quotes from Real People... volume 1

"It's like butter and chocolate syrup."
- -Greg Chandler (describing how performances were good, just not good together)

PSA for the dorky

Announcer: Yes, ladies and gentlemen, YOU TOO, can look and feel cooler in less than seven days! That's right folks, in less than a week, you can feel on top of the world. All you have to do is rush out and get a truly awesome friend like this man has.

Scott: [obviously reading from a card] I am not an actor, I am an actual person who has an extraordinary friend. My secret is Stephanie. What's yours? [smiles a really big, dumb smile and looks straight into the camera]

Announcer: So go out, NOW, and hug a friend and thank them for showing you the error of YOUR ways.

The true testament of friendship #5.

They keep a couple of your favorite drinks stocked in the fridge, just in case you come over.

At times I wished I had a sibling or two, so I could be "uncle scott". One of my little cousins called me that over this past weekend, and it made my heart feel all warm inside... of course, I'll never be an uncle.

Holiday Traditions - Part 1

Thanksgiving: getting "stuffed" at dinner, grabbing some floor to watch the football game/take a nap, and then wrestling around with the little cousins.

The true testament of friendship #4.

If you call in the middle of the night and wake them up, they say, "It's no problem, I was already awake."

Air Rage Granny Scrambles Fighters

Nov 26, 8:16 am ET

MIAMI (Reuters) - Fighter jets were scrambled at Miami airport on Tuesday after an elderly woman threw a fit on an American Airlines plane and flight attendants thought she would attack them, police said.
Reports said the woman was aged between 69 and 79.

"They said old," a police spokeswoman said, adding she could not confirm her precise age.

The pilot of flight AA-2133 with 126 passengers on board announced an emergency as a precaution shortly after taking off for Caracas, and fighter jets were scrambled to escort the plane back to Miami international airport.

The plane landed safely.

::: What is the world coming to when the elderly can't throw a simple fit on an airline any more!?! I mean, what happened to respect for the elderly, huh?!

My two month blog-aversary is coming up. Maybe we'll do somthing nice. :)

Any thoughts?

Hair Update

It's growing on me... no pun intended.

okay, partially intended...

well, mostly intended.

Seeing family is great, especially around the holidays... the best just seems to come out in everyone. It makes my heart ache, though. I wish I could be closer, so I can see my little cousins growing up, and to be a bigger part of their lives. It also really makes me want to be at the poing where I'm married and settled down and have a kid or two that when they bump their head, they look to me to see if it's "supposed to hurt" or not, and if they realize it's supposed to, then they come running to me with arms open wide for comfort. Someone just running up to me and saying, "daddy".

Yeah. That would be nice.

The true testament of friendship #3.

Someone "senses" you might be lonely or bored and makes an excuse to come see you or to call you.

The true testament of friendship #2.

A friend calls you in the middle of a performance to make sure you're alright.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Alright, here's a list of just a few things I'm thankful for... feel free to comment with your own!

Salvation
My family
My best friend
Crossroads n' Gang!
My friends
Health
When I allow it ... my happiness

The true testament of friendship #1.

Acting like a jerk and an idiot, and they forgive you and overlook it.

Eulogy for a PC

My computer has been on the verge of dying over the past week. The motherboard aparently is the problem. It's been moving a little bit slower than it used to. It can't run or play as much as it had. But I will remember all the good times. The jokes we used to share. The tears, the pain. The countless hours of e-mailing. And even blogging. Yes, my computer was a dear friend, and before it goes... I would just like to say...

WORK YOU STUPID PIECE OF CRAP!

Thank God for warranties and tech support!
...and roommates' computers.

Re: Previous Blog

Sorry, I just needed to get that out. I tried to say something a couple times yesterday, but couldn't due to interuptions.
I'm not saying I don't care how I look, I like looking nice. I love it. I like getting compliments and stuff, that's all well and good. Here goes:

School... all of it. Scott not a popular guy. People who mostly make fun of him and put him down... the trendy people... the "cool" people. Scott didn't want to become like "them". And change can be a scary thing. I'm a fan of change to a degree... I find it exciting a lot of times, but people just have to understand that changing how I look after I've basically looked the same for 25 years.. is a big deal to me. I know to some people it's not a big deal. It kind of makes me feel self-conscious to think that people think I need to change. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. So please don't think that the previous blog was some maddening rant... it was not.

Oh, and about the "forget girls" part... I'd like to take that back. I want peace in my heart and in my mind, AND girls.

When did I become one of those people that cared about how I look? Who am I really trying to impress? Does it really matter HOW I look if I'm not comfortable with myself? Shouldn't be who I am that attracts people to me? (not necessarily meaning in a male-female dating kind of thing) I don't know. I just started becoming moderately comfortable with who I am... and now I'm changing. [sigh]

Forget girls, I just want peace in my heart and in my mind.

Looking forward to tomorrow.
