and then there were none.
there once was a clown....
and then my mom had too many drinks on her birthday and decapitated it by banging its face into the granite at bonefish. (the piece on the left would be the hat that fell off when his face was crushed).

merry fucking xmas, fya team olson
'Twas the night before Team Olson maxxout xmas
when all through the bar
Not a creature wasnt blacked out, not even Zoe Olson
The stockings were hung in 7-11 with care,
In hopes that 2D soon would be there;
The maxx-outs were nestled all drunk on their beds
While visions of coffee flavored sugar milk danced in m1s head;
And m2 in her 1000 count eqyptian cotton sheets, and finn in his jean jacket with a (missing) ipod,
Had just paid for a maxxout 17 hour bus ride
When down in 7-11 there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my barstool to see what the fuck was the matter.
Away to 7-11, m1 galloped and kicked,
Tore out the her microphone and performed her schtick
The moon on the breast of m1's holiday attire
Gave the luster of decency (fya, i am a liar)
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature short bus, and eight members of team o (not those fucking reindeer),
With a big fat ol' driver, obviously not jamaican
I knew in a moment it must be a chawbacon
More christmastoe then ever (his wife was to blame)
And he whistled, and shouted, and called the team o members by name;
"Now, AMO! now, M1! now, KMO and MH!
On, Br1! on Packy! on, KGree and Finn!
To the top of the google search! to the top of bookface wall!
Now mbo! tiu! coc! all!
" As dry leaves that before the team olson hurricane fly,
When they meet a hater, fuck their ass, dont cry,
So to the top of the blog charts, the maxxout posts sure flew,
With the sleigh full of inside jokes (tickets for under the bus too)
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The raunchy dancing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney 2D, came with a bound.
He was dressed in Team O gear, hollering to Chicago, Brooklyn, and DC
And his clothes were all tarnished with red wine and sangree
A bundle of apple products he had flung on his back,
And he looked like steve jobs just opening his mac.
His ipods how they twinkled! his iphones, filled with apps!
His macbooks were like diamonds, which made their hands clap
His trash mouth was cussing a storm,
But team o didnt care, because that is the norm
The glass of cakebread wine, he poured down his throat,
And the warmth it brought on, team o was a float
They all had full faces, and were all full of wine
(Just the right combo to get way out of line)
They were dancing and prancing, just like team olson does
And everyone got jeal when they saw them (its so obvious)
In a wink of their eye and a twist of their head,
Soon gave everyone knowledge they had nothing to dread;
They spoke all their acronyms, and went straight to their work,
And filled all of the megapixels with their famous smirks
And a little too soon, out of the bar they did leave
And giving a nod, with tricks up their sleeves
They sprang to their taxi, giving team o a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard them exclaim, as they rode out of sight,
"To ALL, Fuck Your Ass!, and to ALL a good-night"

December 24: christmastoe
see also mooseltoe. Camel toe at Christmas time.
Mrs. Clause is always worried about christmastoe during her holiday picture opportunities at the mall.
Through Irish Eyes or one brown eye
I would like to let everyone in on a day in the life of me as i see it. The day I would like to share is Monday, Decemer 22nd. This is the day I had at 26 years old my first colonoscopy. Everyone told me the prep was the worst part. I beg to differ. But the prep sucked too. I wont get into most of the prep but it consisted of drinking a fowl tasting 32 oz beverage and not eating for about 30 hours except for jello. The rest of the prep is far too digusting to mention on this blog.
So I am all prepped and ready to go as I lay on the bed in my gown with no underwear looking around at all of the other patients in the room. By the way the room that they prep you to go in for the procedure is the same as the recovery room. Again, I am looking around the room at people mostly asleep from anesthesia. I notice that they are taking entirely too long to wake up and i say to myself, not me im getting right the hell outta here as soon as I come to. I also notice this older black women across the way that I immediately realize should be in a nursing home. She had a bottom lip that hung down to her chest and she was unable to answer simple questions such as who is driving you home? or are you diabetic? Then comes my IV insertion. This is what I call the worst part not the drinking of prep beverage. Apparently my veins sucked cuz i was really dehydrated. Although they kept saying they look good they look good. Well, after about 6 attempts and me being in great pain the nurse says, "I dont think i can get this, I'll have to call Rose over". Im like what? Rose? Where was Rose to begin with? What were you doing before? Practice time on my arms. So Rose comes over and takes a stab at it (ha) literally i guess. i can tell that when she put in the IV it still wasnt in right cuz it hurt really bad. But i didnt say anything cuz i thought that i was starting to look like a heroin addict with all of my puncture wounds.
So they wheel me into the procedure room and i notice that it is now 11:30 and I'm thinking to myself, why the fuck did that have me arrive at 930 if i dont even get wheeled in until 1130? whatever. So inside the procedure room i meet the Anesthesiologist. She is looking over my chart and she starts laughing. im like what are laughing at shes like it says here how much alcohol you consume and you put 5 beverages a week ( i low balled the shit out of that) im like yeah i have 5 beverages what of it? shes like usually people dont put beverages they put drinks, im like whatever. so then shes about to put me to sleep and i tell her that just to warn you guys i think there is still like a lot of liquis in my stomach so you might wanna watch out. she says dont worry we have one of those suction things like dentists have. im thinking whoever has to hold that thing has the worst job ever. After that i discuss that i am going to try to fight off the anesthesia as best i can and stay away for as long as i can. she then injects the sleep potion. i scream out im gonna fight it! and im not sure i got out all of the words before i fell asleep.
as im waking up i felt like i drank an entire bottle of gin. i was if i was black out drunk. i was back in the original room recovering. with 10 other people ( some prepping some recovering). The first thing i hear is the nurse right in my face saying you sure do like that F word. Im like what? what do you mean. she then tells me that i have been ripping off my wires and IV an stuff and saying fuck. Now i know that if I said fuck to my nurse than i probabaly told her that i will SEE HER NEXT TUESDAY aswell. so im like super embarassed but im still feeling drunker than ever. Then i remember that im not going to be one of those people that hangs around recovering all day. I hop up and say call my parents im ready to go give me my juice and graham crackers. I pounded the juice and there were crums all over me from the graham cracker. still im and back and forth from being aware of what i was doing at all. i then realize that i must have pissed off all of the nurses so i try make them liek me again. I see this Happy Holidays sign and i blurt out raelly loud, " Christmas is in 3 days, do you believe that". none of them responded so i think what can i do to ease this tension. I fall back asleep but when i wake back up im singing i have no gift to bring pa rum pum pum pum. (i think i was singing this cuz at nicholas' Christmas Pageant at Church of the Brethren Preschool i saw him singing this) anyway again no one responds to my singing so i sing louder and louder and louder thinking they must not hear me. Finally i hear this nurse say, " sounds like we got a singer over there" Right at that time i see my mom and dad come in. i jumped out of bed not realizing that i had little control of my balance. i damn near crashed into like 3 other people recovering while i was on my way to going to get dressed.
Finally im dressed and my parents walk me outta there as if i had downed a bottle of patron. I dont completely sober up until i get home an hour later.
End result, no colon cancer.
Just a little slice of life through my eyes
Merry Christmas,
PMB

AMO-ENTP
before i ever had a chance to decide my personality type - kmo, m1, and m2 had already figured it out. typs obvi - analyzers.
hey, atleast they didn't throw me under the bus! i think they got it pretty damn close:
ENTPs are frequently described as clever, cerebrally and verbally quick, enthusiastic, outgoing, innovative, flexible, loyal and resourceful. ENTPs are motivated by a desire to understand and improve the world they live in. They are usually accurate in sizing up a situation. They may have a perverse sense of humor and sometimes play devil's advocate, which can create misunderstandings with friends, coworkers, and family. ENTPs are ingenious and adept at directing relationships between means and ends. ENTPs "think outside the box," devising fresh, unexpected solutions to difficult problems. However, they are less interested in generating and following through with detailed plans than in generating ideas and possibilities. When ENTPs are used correctly on a team, they offer deep understanding and a high degree of flexibility and problem solving ability. The ENTP regards a comment like "it can't be done" as a personal challenge, and, if properly motivated, will spare no expense to discover a solution.
check, check, check. im officially obsessed. i want to take the real test to see if its right.
its snowing in nyc,
<3 amo
learning new things MIGHT be dangerous
my sister is now taking this class oh how to administer the myers briggs test and one would normally say "ew who wants to take a class for a week straight" but nope not in my family. we all get equally as into it and it gives us yet another thing to start analyzing the shit out of. thats probably what we do best in my family is either throw people under the bus or analyze the shit out of everyone until you're in a 'category' as i was once told. so tonight k calls and wants to tell me all about the class and IMMEDIATELY we are putting me into a certain category while my moms yelling in the background what she is. a few minutes later while sitting at my moms, i'm on a speaker phone conference call with amo & kmo trying to figure out what exactly category amo would fall in. (i should note that while i'm on the conference call, i'm also running video chat with browneyed girl and gchatting with pudgy).
ENTJ yup thats what we decided I am. The strange part about it is, k's the same letters. Knowing us you would NOT put us in the same category at ALL. i'm a max out and shes more together (if you will). heres how the entj gets translated:
ENTJs often excel in business. In general, they are assertive, outspoken, confident, outgoing, energetic, charismatic, fair-minded, and unaffected by conflict or criticism. However, other traits may lessen the impact of their strengths. They may appear argumentative, confrontational, insensitive, intimidating, and controlling. They can overwhelm others with their energy, intelligence, and desire to order the world around them.
i'm pretty sure that sums me right up. or in other words a nice bitch. :)
this won't be the end of the blogging about this because i think i'm just opening the can of worms that will probably go on for a while. and if you dont know what it is i suggest you learn quickly before we throw you under for not knowing what the personality test is. we seem to take these kind of things to a new level until we can't talk about them anymore. we'd be happy to analyze your personality type and will be forming a questionnaire to complete for us to figure out exactly what you are....ciao.

an afternoon in fake china
this past weekend my dad and stepmom came up to nyc to visit. they've come up before and done all of the touristy things....walking over the brooklyn bridge, going to the top of the empire, going to the top of the ROCK, taking a stroll around central park, blah,blah,blah.
this time..the first words out of my dads mouth as he was spouting out his plan of attack for the 28 hours he would be here were "lets go fake purse shopping in chinatown"
(good thing i wasn't drinking/eating anything as i was talking to him on the phone. otherwise i might had to have been resuscitated.)
anyway, so they arrive to brooklyn (he usually says something along the lines of YYYEAAHHHH BRROOOKLYN!! WE ARE GONNA HANG OUT IN BROOKLYN TONIGHT!!!!), we walk up to my apartment (OMG 6 FLIGHTS NO WONDER YOU STAY IN SHAPE!!!!!!), then we head over to manhattan to check them into the hotel, then off to china town!!!
okay. so i have never done this fake purse thing before. so i had no idea what to expect. i wasn't sure if i was going to get arrested, or get abducted and sold into some asian slave trade, or maybe even be forced to eat some dead cat or something. who knows, its china town.
we come up off the subway and IMMEDIATLEY get hounded by 100 tiny asian people who are holding cards with pictures of purses on them,whispering rolex into your ear, and flashing you glimpses of gucci sunglasses out of black plastic bags. this is a pretty typs chinatown experience, i just usually punch them in the face and keep walking.
we say yes to some 2'11" chinese man, and then he starts sprinting down the street away from us. (assuming we are supposed to follow him) we run to catch up with him and he leads us a couple of blocks to a street corner. then he stops and says something so fast and points down the street and runs away. then slowly the door to the back of a van (from illinois, why didnt you hitch a ride with them sbmo???) opens up and a tiny asian woman peeks her head out and tells us that 2 people can come into the back of the van.
its a hot mess. purses everywhere - when you pick one up she puts it on you and yells so loud that it looks so good on you and then immediately starts bargaining to make sure you buy it. i wasn't that interested, and was getting uncomfortable with the entire situation, so i basically just sat there and watched while nm1 attacked the pile of bags. (sidenote - at one point i take a glance outside and br1 and my dad are standing there so awkward on the street corner with a group of overweight tourists waiting in line for the van)
so nm1 picks out 4 purses, they throw in a wallet for free, and we are on our way.
i cant wait to see what my dad suggests we do next time he comes to nyc.
fya,
amo

sbmotto's romance planet
im gonna get some liquid sunshine, so im all cracked out when i write the blog.
So the Red-Eye is a local rag that I only pick up on Mondays to Wednesdays because that's when the Sudokus are easy enough for me to do them. And here are the horoscopes from "Romance Planet" the daily bullshit generator.
MH: pisces
Mars is reminding you that unless you get clear about your goals, you'll never achieve them. If your dream is to have 2.5 kids, an SUV and a spouse, ask yourself if you are on the path to achieving this. If not, make some adjustments to your life strategy.
MH. If you only had 2.5 kids would you rather have just the top half or just the bottom half? Or would you sell it on the black market? I know someone at Paddy's Pub in Philadelphia that could help you out.
AMO: Cancer
Money issues have been a major pain in the but for you this year with financial planner Jupiter opposite your sign. The good news? This lasts only a few more months. The bad news? This lasts a few more months. Demand massages from your honey until you feel better.
So you're still poor? I suspected as much.
M1: Virgo
Three planets are conspiring to bring you a breakthrough. Maybe you'll finally find a pair of low-rise jeans that don't make you look pregnant (Lalipop). Perhaps you'll locate the perfect hat to conceal the bald spot (on your chawbacon bf). Overall, things are looking up. Celebrate with a few sexy friends.
Have you ever looked pregnant? No. I didn't think so. When you're partying w/ your sexy friends lets try to keep it that way.
KMO/Finn: Scorpio
Right now, it's all about the sex. You're not concerned about the long-term aspects of a relationship. All you can focus on is the mind-bending passion. Just remember that your partner could be falling madly in love with you. Oops.
Oops indeed.
Two scoops,
finn

ricky bowie has to comment via posts
ricky bowie has a few comments about the blog, but they wont let him use the internet over at the detention center so hes asked me to pass them on to you.
1. picture of you with random blacks and hi-fiving whites: darnell looks more like a Carlton to me like Carlton Banks. you should borrow that shirt from shanice, i think you would look stunning in it. i picture you stepping out of your BMW while talking on your Blackberry after just receiving a $300 hair styling and mani and pedi all with shanice's shirt on. ITB?
in that picture i feel the gloves are obnoxious, i mean do you have a cigarette holder in your other hand?
2. I always thought of mimosas as being more orange in color, but they are delicious especially on Christmas morning. I usually drink an entire pitcher every Christmas. Maybe thats why i forgot to call? sorry.

2009: the year of yellow
I just found out the pantone color of the year for 2009. YELLOW. on top of that, its called mimosa.
Pantone says "The color yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance," explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation."
Get ready for the year of yellow. I can't wait.
KGree, I grant your wish true
KGree: Gemini
I'm pleased to be able to offer you a Zen riddle that will prepare you well for the immediate future. Study it, meditate on it, and refer back to it often when dealing with upcoming challenges. Question: What did the big chimney say to the little chimney? Answer: nothing. Chimneys can't talk. I don't want to explain all the nuances of this helpful conundrum, Gemini, because it'll serve you better if you come to your own conclusions. But I'll get you started with this hint: Be vigilant for trick questions, and don't let those trick questions frame the debates you engage in. Do you know what red herrings and straw men are? Don't get distracted by them.
I can offer you a zen riddle too. What did m2 say to the man who threw her under the bus? Answer: Fuck your ass.
Okay girl, team o misses you!!

AMO's crazy astrology
MH: Pisces
There's a new elective surgery that makes it impossible to ever blush again. It's an expensive procedure that involves boring a hole in your armpit and cutting the nerve endings that are responsible. I wouldn't recommend it for you, even though you're entering a phase when you'll be more prone than usual to blushing. Why? Because, according to my projections, your main reason for blushing in the coming days will be due to receiving sudden, unexpected, or long-withheld praise. I believe it'll be a time when you're acknowledged for the good things you do. Blush away!
alright lets all make MH blush. i think the best way to do this is to fart next to her and then walk away so it gets blamed on her.
AMO: Cancer
I've got three related questions for you, Cancerian. 1. Are there any roles you play in which your selfish and unselfish tendencies overlap? 2. What situations allow you to be most completely yourself as you provide a fine service to others? 3. Which of your skills generate the most blessings and gifts? The next 12 months will be a favorable time for you to identify these roles, situations, and skills, and cultivate them to the max. You'll have prime opportunities to express your special genius while doing good deeds.

M1: Virgo
After meditating on how best to energize your love life, I decided to direct you to this passage from John Welwood's book Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships: Healing the Wound of the Heart: "Everyone knows perfect love in their heart, for the human heart is a direct channel through which absolute love pours into this world. At the same time, human relationships are imperfect expressions of that love. This creates a painful gap between the perfect love we know in our hearts and the imperfect, incomplete ways it is expressed in our relationships. When we imagine that relative human love should be something it is not -- absolutely unconditional -- we suffer disappointment and wind up distrusting love itself. We also hold grievances against others for not loving us rightly or against ourselves for not having won that love. This gives rise to a universal human wound -- the sense of not feeling loved for who we are."
ok m1, we'll talk about this later. hit me up on the g.
KMO/SBMO: Scorpio
In one episode of the TV show "Seinfeld," Elaine couldn't get her favorite Chinese restaurant to deliver take-out food to her apartment. The manager said her neighborhood was just beyond the boundary of where his drivers were authorized to travel. But Elaine was determined. She went over to the apartment building across the street, which was within the restaurant's delivery zone, and set up an alternate home for herself in a janitor's closet. I suggest you adopt a similar strategy, Scorpio. If you can't get what you want in the place where you are, shift your location.
i remember this. its also the episode where kramer adopts a one mile strip of the highway and changes it from a 4 lane highway to a more "luxurious" 2 lane highway. so kmo and sbmo, while you are on the path to what you want, be sure not to adopt anything and try to make it better (kmo that goes for you and your chawbacons)

Comments to Pacman's blog. Love, kmo
1. good work. You can hold your own on the blogosphere (did i just call it that?)
2. hands down the best line in this blog is...... I would never have my mother anywhere near me while entertaining sluts. ...... pure. genius.
3. Lark Voorhies ... wtf? what/who is that?
4. that show with the people trying to fit in the holes in the walls is the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen.

6. since when is your name Adam?

Reality Televison- Pacman Jones
This is my first blog that I actually know will be posted. (Def appreciate that L.E.O) Im very nervous. I feel like I am making the trek up at the beginning of the roller coaster. But anyway here goes:
Over the past couple years I have noticed television shows have gone from bad to terrible. Gone are the days when a person could watch quality shows like fresh prince, saved by the bell, the cosbys, mr belvedere or even hey Dude from Nickelodeon. I think we are witnessing what is rock bottom in the television industry. I saw one show that the whole Idea was to try to fit through a hole in the wall that moves at them. Next I think there should be a game show where the loser is flat out put to death. I think they already have it in Japan. What suspense that would be. Whatever happened to actors acting? I suffered through the real worlds dominating MTV ( Music Television) , then came real world road rules challenge. What happened to the music? I want to watch MTV Jams not TRL. Oh yeah, you only get MTV jams if you have direct TV. Then came all of the survivors, bachelor, bachelorette, wife swap and I don’t know how much more I can stomach.
But with all that said I think I just found the worst one ever. Oh, I’m sure you girls will be tuning in to it. The advertisement I saw was for a show called mamas boy or something like that. It was similar to the bachelor. Three studs with spiked up hair and house full of sluts. If that isn’t family tv I don’t what is. But the best part about this show is that the mothers are involved in the dates or at least that is what it looks like. This to me is the furthest thing from reality. I would never have my mother anywhere near me while entertaining sluts. As a matter of fact, my mother has only ever known me to be in 1 relationship in my life. In my family we even have codes to discuss such things with my brothers while in front of my mother. For instance, if we are talking about sex we say porking, porked, pork her or a pork session (extended period of time). This originates from the movie National lampoons European vacation when russ says to Clark W. Griswald, “ I think hes gonna pork her day… no hes not gonna pork her Russ… Maybe he is gonna pork her.” We also have codes for girls so my mother can butt in and figure out who we are talking about. For instance m1 would be Jb’s Cuz and kmo would be JB’s Cuz the younger one. My mom has no idea who we are talking about. She has however found out what porking means and she is disgusted with it. At thanksgiving I guess I had been talking about porking too much or something and she got really mad, so when my brother came in the room I was like, “ don’t talk about pork sessions at all” my mom got all mad cuz I said it again and I was like “ im just letting him Know”. So you see these reality shows are just the furthest thing from reality.
What ever happened to quality acting from stars like Dennis Haskins, Lark Voorhies, and Dustin Diamond from Good Morning Miss Bliss?
On a side note, did you girls see army’s uniforms during the army vs. navy game last week? Camouflage. I think they could be on to something, camo team olson shirts.
Okay playas
Respectfully Yours,
Adam Jones
finn's ewej
the ewej. short for usual (finn and i had a 3 hour discussion over many pbr's on how to spell this - and this is what we came up with. itb? btw i changed my editing color to yellow so i could match our new layout. dilligaf.)
here i am eating dinner in my bedroom with a FULL glass of wine (TTO) ... hiding from from my mom & the condo association board members. most of the time they hang out drink wine & gossip about the weird man/boy that lives down the hall who screams at people (haha is that you? jk :) ), sometimes they just hang out (and watch oprah sex specials), and on the rare occasion they make spreadsheets or plant shrubbery... while drinking wine. so yeah im hiding from a bunch of boring multi-ethnic 35-55 y.o. women. (fuck their ass)
i realllly reallly really need to stop drinking all this wine & find myself an apt. only then can i stop hiding my expansive liquor collection in my closet, on my shoe rack, where i should keep my shoes. (sounds like you need a closet organizing lesson from team o. we charge $75 an hour, first session is free!) my shoes, instead, go on the floor & around my bed/ at the doorway. which is where my clothes should go, on the floor. but since they can't go there i pile them up really high in my laundry bag. obvi the next best place to put them....(shakes head no) the clean ones go on top & the really dirty clothes that haven't been washed for like a year (yeah.... about that) just stay on the bottom of the barrel b/c CFL im sure they're outta style by now anyways. scratch that, i never go out of style, and neither do my fly ass clothes. (shakes head yes) they just get dirty and end up being in style again like 5 years later when i decide to wash them. and that will probably be b/c i got drunk and spilled red wine on all my other clothes. typs.
the sad thing is im writing this blog right now b/c i don't want to sort my laundry so i can do a wash. after this i'll probably end up watching Its Always Sunny or The Daily Show (im going to wednesday's taping! i really hope obama is gonna be there) on Hulu while bf'ing/constantly checking the blog/thinking of funny LoLcats i might want to do (i'm glad this comes after checking the blog.) / i'll probably make a LOLbama instead. slash.. slash.. i never got my free dr. pepper when the new GnR album came out.. thats too bad (pause. NAHT)
less than three, (fuck your ass),

it must be rain drops falling from my eyes...for a man ain't supposed to cry
Um, I’m really glad that you guys laughed so hard. As you were doing that laughing, I was getting shocked and stabbed with needles and electric shocks at Johns Hopkins. It sucked in the worst way. The needles were being moved around in my muscles and it hurt so bad I thought I was gonna have to start singing “ it must be rain drops falling from me eye… for a man ain’t supposed to cry”
But I would like to say thank you for sending me the mag finally. I figured that email may motivate you to complete that nearly impossible task. Did you like how included that guy Ross, I have his Business Card still from the time he gave it to me at the Tourism thing like a year ago. I did read your posting of my email on your blog and I noticed you did some deleting. I thought that was funny. We have all made some decisions in the past that might not be the best for our future. You
have to live with that one, and ill never let you forget that. I
think my fav lines in the email I wrote were about the weight lifting gloves you once told me about( I frequently picture you just going crazy pumping iron in the gym with these glove son). I also like the donuts thing, that was so funny to me when you talked about making donuts.
About the blogging. I have looked at your blog several times and I must say I am a little intimidated. I have no idea how this works. I cant tell who is writing they blogs. They are not all you are they? I definitely could add plenty to the conversation especially with my knowledge of saved by the bell. But im slightly nervous. Its like when you are a virgin and thinking about having sex you think it will be great but you are nervous cuz you are not sure if you will be doing it right. It might be best if I sent you emails and then you copied and pasted them as your blog. That way I could be like a ghostwriter for the blog. Let me know what you think.
Oh yeah one last thing, I got invited to my sons birthday party this weekend. He just turned 5. The party is put on by his mother, so I will be pretty much walking into enemy territory, but I am excited to go because he has asked me over and over if I will come. Anyway, what I thought was funny is as soon as I hung up the phone with his mother when she called to invite me, she texted me and asked if id pay for half.
What are your thoughts?
So that’s it.
Later alligator

things i'm over: volume 1
things i'm over: teenagers calling me a lady.
i was in starbucks doing what i always do in starbucks - using the bathroom. for the record, nyc has an extreme shortage of public restrooms. sometimes there just isn't anywhere in the vicinity for you to duck into an alley and squat - so you are forced to sneak into starbucks, avoid their coffee, and make a sprint to the bathroom. (there are usually anywhere between 5 and 20 people in line before you, so try to plan accordingly to avoid any disastrous MBO's or pants peeing.) anyways, back to my story. i was waiting in a line of about 8 people - all teenagers. they were all flirting with each other and being normal dumbass 17ish year olds. so then i get to the front of the line and two of the girls are blocking the door to the women's room cackling about some hot dude. so their guy friend yells at them to move because "the lady behind them needs to use the bathroom."
okay. there are a lot of things wrong with that statement.
1. i didnt even have to use the bathroom that bad, and he made it look like i was about to MBO
2. i was only 7 years older than them MAX - therefore i should still be referred to as "girl," "hot chick," or "cougar"
3. LADY! what am i, 100 years old? at what point is it okay to be called that by someone over 5 years old?
i followed it up with a smile and a suprised "am i really a lady? im only 24"
he followed up with an awkward "omg the lady just got mad that i called her a lady" look and then a quick look to the floor, where his eyes stayed for the duration of our encounter.
so i went in the bathroom and shut the door and cried. but really i just peed and then walked out of the bathroom and they were already gone - so i forgot about it and then went along living my anti-lady-life.
love, amo

i never make scenes (shakes head yes)
so last night was my company's christmas party. i know, i know december third thats a little early right? and on a wednesday? what were they thinking.
i will preface this entry with a little back story of who we are as a company: i work in an office full of beligerant alcoholics. we work hard (sometimes), but if any slight opportunity comes up that could possibly be excused as means for celebration - we embrace it. usually with beer and popcorn - pretty tame. we typically have 1-2 of these "celebrations" a week - and they usually start around 4:30. on other occasions where the means for celebrating is a little more noteworthy - we usually just leave the office at lunch and then go straight to happy hour and by 7 o'clock we're 3 sheets to the wind and still going strong.
soooo, now that you are up to date on our office structure - let me get to the real story.
the only thing they tell us about the party is that it is on december third and the "bus is picking us up from the office at 3 pm." thats it. we have no idea where we are going or what we will be doing once we get there. some rumors were floating around that we were gonna be on a boat - so i went ahead and bought some "sea-bands" just incase - i did not want to take any risks in being less than tip-top shape to party. the day up until 3 pm was pretty much a waste because we were all so excited to get slammered. i made sure to eat breakfast and lunch so i could absorb as much alcohol as needed. because we get in trouble if we stop drinking at these events. (at last years party i was drinking a beer and my boss yelled at me for not drinking liquor and called me a wimp)
the bus picks us up at 3. its one of those cute little charter buses that has about 25 seats - one that you usually see around airports. its about an hour and twenty minute busride to the location - not much happened so i won't bore you with details. we pull into the blue hill at stone barn restaurant thats located on the old rockefellar estate. its premise is that they grow and raise all of their food and meat - and then serve it to you that day. delicious. ($11 wasted on sea bands) so we all do a couple ooo's and aaa's at how pretty and serene everything is and its so nice to get out of the city blah blah blah - and then we all run to the bar. we all had a cocktail (dirty martini for me) and loosened up a bit - then moved on to the party room. here they were serving us hors d'oeuvres and wine/champagne. i proceed to break a glass by backing into a table and knocking a martini glass on the floor. awkward silence while everyone looks around trying to see who it was - me yelling "sorry guys, that was me." awkward silence. then we move on.
dinner is amazing. the wine and food are so delicious. the bosses give toasts. a couple others follow up with short toasts. then my boss stands up acting like he is giving another and says "and now for alison's toast." fuck. im bad at this. i stumble my way through it - looking back on it i have no idea what i said. so then i chug some more wine to forget it. mission accomplished.
long story short we continue drinking and getting louder and louder and more and more intoxicated - and before we know it its 10 pm and time to leave. we board the bus. i didnt feel that drunk but i obviously was based on the following portion. i proceed to pass out almost immediatly - god only knows for how long - and i wake up very abruptly realizing that i am about to throw up. i somehow manage to get my coworker to get a bag for me - and i proceed to lose that delicious dinner a couple times. never made it to that bus bathroom. just puked in a bag in front of all of my coworkers. awesome. and then dumped the contents of my purse on the floor. awesome x 2. trainwreck city. population: me.
we get back to the city - about half of the people continue drinking (apparently til 4 am - fuck their ass) and half of us go home. in order to keep myself from making more of a scene - i send myself home at 11 pm.
alright girl, so thats our xmas party in a nutshell. today i got called a lightweight wimp about 400 times, found a cut/bruise on my foot, my shoulder is swollen, and at 730 pm i found gum in my hair (apparently i walked around all day without noticing it.) is that bad?

i will preface this entry with a little back story of who we are as a company: i work in an office full of beligerant alcoholics. we work hard (sometimes), but if any slight opportunity comes up that could possibly be excused as means for celebration - we embrace it. usually with beer and popcorn - pretty tame. we typically have 1-2 of these "celebrations" a week - and they usually start around 4:30. on other occasions where the means for celebrating is a little more noteworthy - we usually just leave the office at lunch and then go straight to happy hour and by 7 o'clock we're 3 sheets to the wind and still going strong.
soooo, now that you are up to date on our office structure - let me get to the real story.
the only thing they tell us about the party is that it is on december third and the "bus is picking us up from the office at 3 pm." thats it. we have no idea where we are going or what we will be doing once we get there. some rumors were floating around that we were gonna be on a boat - so i went ahead and bought some "sea-bands" just incase - i did not want to take any risks in being less than tip-top shape to party. the day up until 3 pm was pretty much a waste because we were all so excited to get slammered. i made sure to eat breakfast and lunch so i could absorb as much alcohol as needed. because we get in trouble if we stop drinking at these events. (at last years party i was drinking a beer and my boss yelled at me for not drinking liquor and called me a wimp)
the bus picks us up at 3. its one of those cute little charter buses that has about 25 seats - one that you usually see around airports. its about an hour and twenty minute busride to the location - not much happened so i won't bore you with details. we pull into the blue hill at stone barn restaurant thats located on the old rockefellar estate. its premise is that they grow and raise all of their food and meat - and then serve it to you that day. delicious. ($11 wasted on sea bands) so we all do a couple ooo's and aaa's at how pretty and serene everything is and its so nice to get out of the city blah blah blah - and then we all run to the bar. we all had a cocktail (dirty martini for me) and loosened up a bit - then moved on to the party room. here they were serving us hors d'oeuvres and wine/champagne. i proceed to break a glass by backing into a table and knocking a martini glass on the floor. awkward silence while everyone looks around trying to see who it was - me yelling "sorry guys, that was me." awkward silence. then we move on.

the infamous college humor interview....
What's one thing all guys do that they shouldn't?
Guys should not whistle. At all. Especially if they are in a moving vehicle. I have never met a girl that really likes to be whistled at.
Are you hot?
Um... am I? Isn't that what you're supposed to be deciding?
How hard did/do you want Jonathan Taylor Thomas (JTT)?
Oh my god... very much so. He was every girls dream guy back in the day. Until there was that rumor that he was gay. Is that a rumor? Then I moved on to Devon Sawa. He was crazy hot.
Zack or Slater?
Zack. Slater was a really good dancer which made me question his sexuality. Plus I wasn't really into his greasy mullet. Zack all day. He was kind of a bad boy. Which was hot.
What Disney character would you be and why?
I would like to the be Wendy from Peter Pan. I always had a thing for Peter Pan. He was kind of hot. Plus he could fly. And since Wendy was his main squeeze... well you know.
Favorite Smell:
This is very strange BUT I love the smell of beer, cigarettes, and cologne. Like all mixed together. I don't know why but it gets me every time.
Have you ever hooked up with someone way less attractive than you? If so, why?
Yes I have. I think everyone has. If they say they haven't then they're probably lying. I did it because alcohol was involved. I think that's obvious.
What's the TV show you're most embarrassed to admit you love?
I love The Hills. I really really love The Hills. Every person I have met is embarrassed to say they love The Hills. It's like two people meeting and not knowing what to talk about. You try and feel them out. "Sooo... Heidi is a mess..." The reaction can go either way. You can get someone who will totally agree. Or someone that will say "You watch that?!" Then you know that person can not be in your life. Haha.
What's worse on a guy, yellow teeth or BO?
Can I say both? Because both are bad. The only thing I can say is in a dark bar people cant see yellow teeth, but they can smell BO. But if I guy has both he's screwed.
Boxers or briefs? Why?
I like boxer briefs. It's like if boxers and briefs had a baby. Boxers are way to big and briefs don't really flatter anyone. So I would go with the boxer briefs.

Celebrity Status was the email title.
An email I just received:
I know that it must be hard being one of Frederick’s A list celebrities. I am sure that it can be very time consuming and that you must be terrific at managing time. But do you think that somehow in the middle of: your magazine add selling, myspace/ facebook surfing, church going, bike riding, lifting weights with lifting gloves, blogging, big sisters being, wine drinking due to rounding face, G Dub shopping, ice cream eating, Canadian Football Leagueing,phantom phone calling,less than serious boyfriend juggling, scrabble playing, homemade donut making, acting like you have no money and are gonna sell you car and rent you home and move back with your parents, team olson shirt wearing, and whatever else it is that you do, that you could drop off the magazine I requested some weeks ago. I had pretty much given up on that idea and was going to try to contact Ross at xxx-xxx-xxxx for a copy, but then you emailed saying it would be delivered shortly. Please define shortly.
Me wanting that issue and your pic being in it have nothing to do with one another, I know you find that hard to believe. It would be really nice if you do ever deliver this you could attach a special note stating what a great friend I am. Something about how I always have the best things to say to make you laugh at the times you most need it. You might want to even put a few of your famous homemade donuts in there.
If this is ever going to happen please let me know or I will just call Ross P?

MH is famous
Today I was chosen to be College Humor's Cute Girl of the Day.
Please refer to www.collegehumor.com if need be.
I did this as a joke. With who you ask? Primarily myself. I looked at the website one day and I thought if one day I could be the cutest girl. I looked at some of the other girls.... busted... busted...really cute....ok but has a weird shaped head....likes like a simpson...and pretty cute. After looking I felt like my odds were pretty good. So I applied. I made sure I submitted every picture that does not look like me in person.
Then on Monday I got the email. The cheesiest thing ever but I had gotten it!!! I had obtained my goal as the cutest girl.
And then I ran out into traffic because I knew my life could not get any better than this.... this is really MH's dad writing this.
Kidding. Obvi. Geeez. cfl.
Check it out and make sure to read my interview. And just to say a head of time... and yes I really did answer those questions like that. Team Olson it will not disappoint.

i'm baaaaack
i better post something before i get kicked out of team olson. i think we might be slacking right now and need to get our groove back. i just am so busy with my cake decorating class and new career in domestication its hard to take a break to write a blog.
here's the daily astrology report:
Cancer:
You're very fortunate today. You're able to craft agreements and alliances with people that not only appreciate and respect you but also want to help you. Because of today's new start and smart approach, your financial circumstances are very likely to improve. Stick with it. Don't pay attention to the drip-drip-drip torture dished out by screeching news broadcasts. Wrap your mind around your dreams, your many gifts and the incredible friends you have. These assets are priceless and long lasting. You can do a lot more with these blessings than with anything fear-based. Today, toss fear out on its ear, every time it comes near. You've got to keep your senses clean, positive and open in order to absorb the benefits that are absolutely within reach.
Virgo:
You're very intent on accomplishing a goal that, in your eyes, is taking too long. It's probably not, but a perfectionist and fast worker like you doesn't tolerate delays or foot dragging. Your fallback solution - kick butt! Because no one sees it coming or anticipates your being aggressive and borderline scary, your lean, mean fighting machine approach is shockingly effective. It's a wakeup call to sleepy heads who can't adjust to whatever time zone they're in. You go Virgo. You're the reincarnation of Joan d'Arc.
and for a general overview:
We can become emotionally detached as the Moon enters intellectual Aquarius at 1:44 am EST. Instead of seeking tried-and-true solutions, we are attracted to the brilliant but quirky ones. We are so enamored with a smart idea that we can forget to consider whether or not it will work. Concepts may be more important now than actual work, but the Moon forms a tense aspect to sobering Saturn to remind us that there is no easy escape from the real world.
alrighty girls have a terrific tuesday and go fuck your ass.

Krisal Trelis Sontin
When KMO and I were in middle school we were obsessed with learning the lyrics to our favorite songs. We would make a mix tape of top 40 hits off Z104 and then proceed to listen to them over and over, attempting to decipher the lyrics into a spiral notebook (we would take turns being the writer so we could both practice our handwriting). Yes, these were the good ol’ days before the internet when you had to sit outside on the deck listening to the radio your boombox. Artists that I distinctly remember decoding were Blackstreet, Puff Daddy, and Ma$e (yeah, we were ghetto, cfl).
But, being team olson, we obviously couldn’t stop at that. We had to maxx it out as hard as possible. In the times where we had already deciphered the lyrics of all ten songs being played on the radio that week, we could make our own remixes. Girltalk style. (Im pretty sure that girltalk would cite us as his muse if asked in an interview. )
Our “girltalk style” involved recording ourselves (on my talkboy) singing lines to a song while the song was playing so we could have the music in the background and then interjecting funny quotes from movies. I think. I can’t exactly remember our majestic concoction of song to movie quotes, or how much we would change about the song. I do know that these songs we would “write” were anywhere between 25 and 60 seconds long. But I do remember one of the mixes that will be engraved in my memory forever:
Kmo, I hope that you still have this tape somewhere in your mountain laurel bedroom, and that we can publish it. just another team olson memorabilia item to add to our list. itunes will probably pick it up soon and make it into a top selling MP3 and then obviously our performance career will skyrocket from there. We’ll wave to you all from the top of the charts.
Fuck your ass, amo

Sophie B Hawkins playing (with AMO&KMO singing over it): On a February morning in the courtyard birds were singing your praiseeeeeeeAs you already know, the above excerpt does not give any sort of justice to the original masterpiece. I have a voice that you could only describe as angelic and kmo has the powerful ability to sound exactly like that old man from ace ventura. After recording the ‘final’ version of all of these songs onto one tape, we decided that it needed a name. What better then to combine our names to make a new one. After all, we were mixing media, voices, and songs. It made perfect sense. Krisal Trelis Sontin it was. We wrote it in sharpie on that little white strip on the tape cassette. A masterpiece was born.
KMO (in the old man voice from ace ventura pet detective): WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT RAAAYYYYYYY FINKLE?
AMO & KMO (giggling uncontrollably and trying to sing): As I lay me down to sleep, this I pray, that you will hold me dear
AMO (making something up that makes no sense and still laughing): nothing, why do you?
Sophie B Hawkins continues playing for about 10 seconds while we laugh so hard..then the recording ends really awkwardly in the middle of a word
Kmo, I hope that you still have this tape somewhere in your mountain laurel bedroom, and that we can publish it. just another team olson memorabilia item to add to our list. itunes will probably pick it up soon and make it into a top selling MP3 and then obviously our performance career will skyrocket from there.

astrology yo
im sitting in the hotel lobby (apparently i didnt get the memo that we aren't meeting until 8) so while im waiting, here's some astrology for ya.
CANCER:
Two of the best money-saving steps you can take, says TV's mock pundit Stephen Colbert, are to stop filling your hot tub with champagne and stop lining your gerbil's cage with hundred-dollar bills. I highly recommend that you brainstorm about initiating similar conservative and preservative actions, Cancerian. It's time for you to get really serious about shedding wasteful habits, cutting out needless excesses, and culling trivial activities that impinge on the time and energy you have available for the really important things. This shouldn't be a cause for demoralization, by the way. On the contrary, the more creative you are about setting limits, the more long-term blessings you'll set in motion.
welp. astrology has nailed it again. yesterday i found out that im not getting a christmas bonus and that they are cutting us down to a 4 day work week in december and maybe january, so on top of no bonus im losing 20% of my salary when i need it most - the holidays. great. guess i'll do my xmas shopping at the dollar store this christmas. it is really nice of the company to not lay anyone off though. very democratic of them. go 8!
VIRGO:
It might be a good idea to temporarily avoid wearing stiletto heels, Virgo. The risk of slipping while wearing them is greater than usual. In a similar vein, I suggest you refrain from tightrope walking, putting yourself on a pedestal, or dreaming of climbing a ladder to the clouds. Two more suggestions: Don't look down on people whom you imagine are inferior to you and don't promise more than you can deliver. You catch my drift? Stay away from high and mighty forms of expression. Choose low, deep, and funky positions instead. Be as down-to-earth as you can possibly be.
basically just have fun on vicodin.
SCORPIO:
At one point during the comedic film Life of Brian, set in ancient Rome, the hero Brian is working as a vendor selling snacks to spectators at a gladiator match. "Wrens' livers," he says. "Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get 'em while they're hot." A potential buyer turns to him and asks, "Got any nuts?" Brian says, "I haven't got any nuts. Sorry. I've got larks' tongues. Otters' noses. Ocelot spleens." Judging from your current astrological omens, Scorpio, I suspect you may soon be in a position analogous to the spectator. You will really want plain old basic nuts, but someone will be trying to get you to sample the wrens' livers. My advice? Steer clear of exotic stuff you don't have an appetite for. Hold out until the nuts are available.
jesus kmo and finn. your horoscopes are always so weird. just go gather some nuts.

mallrats
hey y'all. amo here. at the hotel. not at the mall where i have spent 30 of the last 37 hours. shit man i could write a book on all of the tpbbf i have seen there over the past two days. i've been pulling an m2 and befriending everyone because i think its hilarious (although i wish i had some of m1's vicodin cause that would make everything even more funny/ridiculous/cloud 9000.)
so, here is my list of things i think you should know about good ol NC suburban malls:
1. mall food courts still suck.
they are just as bad as they have always been. except worse because here all of the asian ladies are yelling at you to try their sweet and sour chicken. things i have eaten in the past 2 days: a FSAD cold panini, some chick-fil-a waffle fries, the worst fish&chips ive ever encountered that i took 2 bites of and vomiked in my mouth, an egg, a piece of toast, a side salad from chick-fil-a, one more waffle fry, dippin dots, and a multigrain roll. and about 78231481269 americanos. im wired out of my fucking mind. and hungry cause everything i try to eat tastes like barf.
2. mall walkers start at 7:30 am.
yes. people come to the mall to exercise. they bring their disc-men and FUPA packs and walk around the mall over and over again. alone. and they look at you weird when you are walking around with an itouch looking for the slightest bit of free wireless to check the team olson blog. mind your own beeswax mallwalkers. just go eat some cinnabon.
3. hollister plays the same 3 songs over and over again.
and their store smells like i just stuck my face into a highschool jocks armpit.
4. massage chairs are the shit.
i spend about 2 hours of my day today in a massage chair in brookstone. most. amazing. thing. ever. it costs $4000 and feels like you are being punched all over. in a good way. the dude in brookstone started bringing cool shit over to me and showing it to me. for example: a sweet remote control helicopter that he almost dropped on my head, a nyt digital reader, some slide scanner thing, some slippers, one of those stuffed animal soft things that m2 bought kmo and m1 for xmas last year, and some crazy future eye-viewer thing that you would watch movies on. (2d will have that tomorrow) oh yeah, and he loves iphones. so we talked about those for awhile and all the apps he would get if he had one. he also told me all of the mall drama that was going on and where other new stores were being built, and that he spends 50-60 hours a week there. then i got his number.
(hahaha pause not. just wanted to freak you out)
5. twelve year old boys are badass.
one of them winked at me.
6. nincompoops work at mall kiosks.
dude who does the hiring for these things. they are some of the most socially inept people i've met in awhile. they try to sell you all sorts of shit and then you ask them how much it costs and they have to go look it up in their binder. and then you walk away and walk by them an hour later and they forget you ever existed. if i ever have to look at a pile of clip on ponytails (sorry m2 im not hatin) or cellphone covers again im probably gonna MBO.
7. christmas music. all day. is evil.
gag me already its not even tgivs.
8. teenage couples are NOT cute.
do people still hold hands and walk around the mall buying things from yankee candle. apparently so.
9. velour suits and ugg boots.
thats all i have to say about that.
10. things im into: applying a full face at sephora on lunch break.
yupp. after eating my side salad and drinking some lemonade i went and applied a full face at sephora. i even tried diors lip venom thing so my lips were tingling for 2 hours after lunch while i was doing stuff on site. it did work though, all the workers were nice to me and asking me how i was doing and if they could help with anything. SCORE.
okay thats it. its 1am and i have a MFCSFSAD wake up call at 630 am.
NOTE: as much as it sounds like i didnt do anything all day, keep in mind that i was at this mall for 14 hours and sometimes there were so many people on site that you had to get out of there and give them room. and cfl i wanted some stories to tell.
18 more hours til we meet again team o. can't fucking wait. good night.
love, amo
well first im gonna make a drink. and then i'll post
so laudster inspired me to procrastinate, thank you.
this weekend was fun, minus all the furtive glances at the blog to make sure i wasn't missing anything. friday night i don't remember what i did and it was fun, saturday i also don't remember what i did so it must've been fun. sunday though.. sunday was good. sunday was the day when i strolled down to the local theatre and watched a high quality porno. not a porno that zach & miri would make but a porno of which the target audience is... 13 year old girls.
yes.
i did see twilight this weekend.
now let me explain. k-rock & i were up for some sweet Bond action, i for my love of all things bond esp. the: fight scenes/chase scenes/martinis. /suaveness/general sweet clothiers/the fact i've shot a walther pp7/blah blah blah lets blow some sh-t up etc., and k-rock just wanted to go b/c she thought she'd get to see daniel craig half naked again.
So we go to the Bond movie, which i think you should go see. Its not better than Casino Royale but its still a decent sequel. there was great action, but not enough down time and a little bit of insanity that held this movie back from being much better. The movie was necessary to advance the plot line and show some character development but it they could have done it much more smoothly than this effort. .... hold up.
side note: i just left for an hour and came back and there are still ice cubes in my drink, itb?.
alright..
anyways bond was sweet. so k-rock & i watch some of the credits and then head out of the movie theatre, i get a mint (and it later turns into my dinner), and proceed to go use the WC because k-rock had to P since the feature presentation got its roll on. and who do we walk into but c-po (see po) who was there w/ her gf seeing Twilight. she didn't want to be stuck w/ her gf (long freaking story that i wont be telling you later) so she asks if we want to watch the movie with her, so we all look at each other and then decide what the hell it can't be that bad.
Im not gonna lie it was a good movie. it was also basically a porno. edward cullen and (isa)bella, the main characters, were eye-FUCKING the whole time. it was ridiculous. they'd do these close up shots of their faces when they were looking at each other and they'd be biting their lips and breathing all heavy. it was so ra(u)nchy i had to TIU, don't tell k-rock. i would have to say Bella orgasmed at least 7 times in the movie; a pg-13 rated movie. I wouldn't recommend bringing your children to the movie but you should bring your vibrator, lube & some kleenex. needless to say I'm looking forward to the sequel. i know all the screaming tweens at the theater are too.
but be forewarned you may develop an unhealthy relationship w/ fictional characters who are way to hot for our own good. i can offer up my friend for references b/c she is now living in a dream-like state where her and edward cullen are back in high school dating and walking each other to class and lame stuff like that. seriously.

its 1230 (sctrach that, its 4am), i'm still working so im going to blog real quick
MH's latest blog is absolutely hilarious. I vaguely vaguely remember this happening. Not so sure how I feel about that whole prank/joke, but man its funny thinking back on those days. the cloverhill pool. sheeesh i have a million funny stories i could tell on that subject :)
But, alas.... I'm exhausted and still have so much work to do.
Team Olson wants to wish m1 a speedy recovery for her surgery tomorrow though. i'll be thinking about you sis. I know you will pull through and your full face will look perfect ... albeit maybe a little round from the meds ;) through the entire surgery. can't wait to see you on those pain meds - that's always a fun/ridiculously annoying situation hahahha. jk i love you
<3 kmo
btw this is an update. it is now 4am. i am just finishing (read: giving up) on work and going to bed. my throat hurts soooo bad. great. b/c i didnt really want to be able to talk to my family over thanksgiving or anything...
yogi berra's worst quote of the day
Yogi Berra - "I never said most of the things I said."
what does that even mean? from now on i'm just going to say that to get out of things. cfl, bfd, idc.

in case of emergency person contact
I do not consider myself to be an actress. I do, however, consider myself to be a pretty good liar. To be honest I don't really see that much of a difference. An actor is playing someone they are not, so technically aren't they just really good liars? Well I digress...
When you are 13 years old it is normal to play jokes on your friends. Dipping their hands in warm water while they sleep is a fan favorite. Or unscrewing the salt shaker top before someone uses it to season their favorite meal. Which in turns ruins the rest of their day. Oh friends! Amo, Kmo, and I would always take it a step further. Possibly a step to far... who knows.
One snowy day Amo and I were enjoying each other's company in her basement. We became bored. We had watched enough South Park for one day and were looking for something else to do. Well duh!!! The obvious thing to do it fake kmo's death. Geesh no brainer. We thought, "If Kmo were to be dying who would be most affected by it?" The first person who came to mind, Kim S. Kim was a "friend" of Kmo's but not so sure her "in case of emergency person". Especially after the whole David incident, but that will be explained at a later date.
We picked up the phone and dialed. It started ringing. Immediately I began to become my character. IF Kmo was dying how would I react... and action!!! Kim picked up.
I started going into hysterics, "Kim! Kim! Oh god! Kmo is dying! She's not breathing! What should we do?"
Kim paused. "I dont know."
Thats it. Kim's reaction was nothing like we thought it would be. You would think a little more despair and anguish. Possibly a little more thought? Not sure.
I then barked back, "Do you not care? She cant breath! Shes blueish!"
Kim replied by laughing.
It was pointless. I hung up on Kim. I knew never to use her as my one phone call. That is if I happened to be arrested at the Clover Hill pool or something. Amo and I then used the call as an evaluation of Kim and Kmo's friendship. We ran to Kmo's house.
Kristin answered the door. "If you are ever not breathing and turning blue DO NOT CALL KIM S! If you do she'll just laugh!"
Kmo stood there having no idea what we were talking about.
Then I said, "Just thought you should know." As we shrugged our shoulders and turned to walk back up the driveway.
I think everyone can learn a lesson from this. Do put Kim S as your "In Case Of An Emergency Person".

alright heres the general horoscope for today at 8 pm since Finn requested it this morning at 8 am:
Monday, November 24th, 2008: The Moon's shift from gracious Libra to intense Scorpio at 12:54 pm EST can bring us to our senses. We may have been successful at sidestepping a difficult issue, but avoidance is no longer a viable strategy. Tension between combative Mars and exuberant Jupiter makes it hard to withdraw once we've stated our position. Fortunately an intelligent Mercury-Saturn quintile gives us the ability to create a workable plan and then execute it with authority.
and btw i just told my mother i was going into surgery tomorrow with full face, itb? she said is there any other way to go? obvi not unless your kmo and sometimes you forget. im pretty sure she doesn't even do that anymore bc she put a full face on to gchat a few days ago. :) pray for me tomorrow, i'll be MIA from the blog all day.
