Random Thoughts!

This is what happens around 1:30 AM or so when I'm at work...I get ahead of schedule, so I get really short-attention-spanned (not a word) and "take a break" to watch something on the CW online (tonight it's 90210 and Priveleged), browse Facebook, and maybe post in my blog. And then by the time I get done doing all that stuff, I'm behind schedule! Ha. So let the procrastination begin...

Random Thought #1: Things That Bug Me~It bugs me when people in front of me drive below the speed limit. Or right at it. I am a 5-miles-over kind of girl, especially when I'm in a hurry to get somewhere. So, speed it up, people!

~It bugs me when people get all stressed out about finding love. I say, stop looking!!! When you go around looking for it, it usually concludes in your compromising for something you don't really want but seems to be better than the alternative, which is being alone. Trust me, the alternative is SO WAY BETTER. Aloneness rocks. For me, anyway.

~It bugs me that librarians always seem to be persnickety. I went to the library today after church and walked in the front door to be met by a librarian with mousy hair (don't they ALWAYS have mousy hair?!). She said very curtly and offendedly, "The library's not open. How did you get in?" I kicked in the door, lady. I wanted to get in the library sooo bad...
"Uh...I just walked in," I said. "The doors were unlocked." I may have copped a bit of a 'tude. What?
"Oh, well the library doesn't open till one," snapped the mousy librarian.
"Oh really? OK! I'll just come back at one, then." I turned around and left, pulling my phone out of my purse on the way to check the time. 12:30. Seriously?

Random Thought #2: Things I Really Like
~I really like this little sandwich shop/cafe on Stadium. It used to be on the other side of campus, but now it's on my way to work and tonight I picked up a sandwich and a pumpkin pie latte on my way in. (P.S. I still don't like coffee, for those of you at home keeping score...I just like gas station/Mac Doodle's cappuccinos, and two things at Starbucks--white chocolate mocha and pumpkin spice latte--and if I get a "real" cappuccino, I have to dump like six sugars in it to tolerate it.) Anyway, having a delicious sandwich and bag of Sun Chips from this little place just makes my day.

~I love finding great deals on clothes, food, shoes, music, and movies. Today I got a box set for $25 that included Singing in the Rain, GiGi, and My Fair Lady. Awesome!

~I love comfortable fall weather. Today I just shut off my AC/heat unit thingy and opened up my window, and it was perfect. Add to the perfection watching GiGi and IMing my little sis, and you get amazing.

Random Thought #3: Good Talk.
I got to have a really good phone conversation with a good buddy today, which is really significant. Because I always feel like he's the kind of guy that just wants to have a good time and talk about funny stuff, not get into serious or emotional topics, so I usually keep it surface level with him...I don't really force it to go deeper, although I'm not opposed to it going there. I just don't want to make him feel bogged down by some old lady who wants to have a grown-up conversation. But today I called and we went surface level for awhile, and then we talked about some stuff that I knew we'd both kind of been concerned with regarding some mutual friendships and such, and it was one of those things where I felt weird bringing it up, but once we went there, we had this great, open conversation and I felt like I got to know him better though it. It was one of those conversations that you start worried that you're going to be out in left field, but then figure out that the other person is totally on the same page. So that was really great. And he's just such a doll, the kind of guy that makes every girl feel like the center of the world when he's talking to her, (which I hear doesn't always work out in his best interests, haha) but speaking plutonically, it's really nice to have that kind of attention. So that also made my day today.

Ok, I think that's all my randomness for one morning.

Love!
