lumy12I'm skipping ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
thefridayfive again this week because I don't feel like doing yet another travel set, especially when I'm quasi-broke.
But I liked this "realize" meme enough to yoink it from 3 of you. Even though the wording sounds...emo? Or something. Bleh.
01. I've come to realize that my butt: last looked good 15 years ago.
02. I've come to realize that when I talk: I can’t express myself nearly as well as I can when I write.
03. I've come to realize that if I love someone: they’d better run the other way, pronto!
04. I've come to realize that I need: $$$.
05. I've come to realize that I've lost: my parking space here at work that I’ve had for 5 years. GRAR. Apparently we never had it in writing that it was mine, and now I’m not allowed to park there anymore.
06. I've come to realize that I hate it when: my internet doesn’t work right at home and FORCES me to get online at work. *g*
07. I've come to realize that if I'm drunk: I’m a lot more fun.
08. I've come to realize that money: does buy happiness, but not necessarily for long.
09. I've come to realize that my mother: wins at bringing me Chinese food when she comes over.
10. I've come to realize that I'll probably always be: alone, but that's not a bad thing.
11. I've come to realize that I have a crush on: Hayden Christensen, Andrew Simpson, our new UPS guy, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drowning_jedi :)
12. I've come to realize that the last time I cried was: Saturday.
13. I've come to realize that my cell phone: is cooler than my last one because it can text-message, but isn’t cool enough to have awesome ringtones.
14. I've come to realize that when I wake up in the morning: there will be hungry cats giving me the evil eye.
15. I've come to realize that before I go to sleep at night: it doesn’t matter what I think about, I’ll inevitably dream of something else.
16. I've come to realize that right now I am thinking about: how uncool it is that the Powers That Be can just yoink my covered parking away from me.
17. I've come to realize that babies: are something I really wish I could produce for my friend (okay, well just ONE, really; more than one would get expensive and let’s face it, I’m getting too old for this)
18. I've come to realize that when I get on livejournal: I’m succumbing to an addiction!
19. I've come to realize that today I will: eat at McDonald’s and earn myself a *headdesk* fromgizzi1213.
20. I've come to realize that tonight I will: water my lawn, possibly in my bathing suit so I can work on the back patio (“Arizona room”) and keep running through the sprinkler to cool off.
21. I've come to realize that tomorrow I will: try to watch one episode of Party of Five, but it will turn into a marathon because who can watch just one???
22. I've come to realize that I really want to: at least have enough money to be able to afford The Next Expensive Thing without breaking a sweat. Alas, I fear I must enter Frugal Mode.But with beer.
23. I've come to realize that who is most likely to repost this is:senatorsfan, because she never met a meme she didn’t like.
24. I've come to realize relationships: are for other people -- you know, non-quasi-asexual types.
25. I've come to realize love: is best experienced in non-romantic forms.
26. I've come to realize my best guy friend: will always be more of a MySpace whore than a LJ whore because his MySpace is full of hot girls.
27. I've come to realize my best girl friend: will always have a special place in my heart even though we’re not that close anymore (so really I should answer this with “doesn’t exist” but…I caaaan’t).
28. I've come to realize food: makes me fat – but hey, not so fat that I can’t fit into this MEDIUM sized KID’S tee that I won... it’s tight, but not uncomfortably so.
29. I've come to realize that when I'm a girlfriend: my fail becomes amplified and I make the guy MISERABLE!
30. I've come to realize girls and boys: …are different? Yet the same? (I agree, this question’s dumb.)
31. I've come to realize over the summer: that some things are impossible to control, but there’s great comfort to be found in things that you CAN control.
32. I've come to realize heartbreak: is only truly devastating the first few times.

Date: 2008-06-28 12:43 am (UTC)You lie, though - I HAVE mentioned cooking dinner before. Remember the 3-year-old pork chops I found in my freezer? I cooked those! And ate them! And didn't get sick! And if I recall correctly, I put up an away message MENTIONING I was cooking for a change! LOL
I'm not even hungry tonight. I was scratching my head about that a bit, because all I got at McD's was the chicken sandwich I had the freebie for and a medium iced vanilla coffee. But then I remembered - we had pie at work this afternoon! They had 3 kinds. So of COURSE I had to have a "little slice" of all 3. But it added up to more than one ginormous slice so... yeah I guess I'm full from that!

Date: 2008-06-28 11:33 pm (UTC)Dinner today, btw, consisted of a grilled filet mignon steak with a couple of boiled baby red potatoes on the side. For dessert there was an orange. See?? What's missing there?? A vegetable!! Not a healthy meal, it's unbalanced!!

Date: 2008-06-29 12:31 am (UTC)I can't stop watching Party of Five. It's 1997 now and you know what some of the commercials are? "Be the first to experience the Star Wars special editions on the big screen!" LOL ohhhh I wish it was 1997 again!
Instead... four people on my f-list just posted reviews for the new Dr. Who episode. FOUR. Can't they all just go post in a Dr. Who comm or something? Ugh. So annoying. (but yes I'm still BITTER about Dr. Who in general for killing my rp. I HATE DR. WHO.)
*grumbles off back to 1997*

Re: #2
Date: 2008-06-27 06:02 pm (UTC)The shirt actually squashes them a little. But yeah, Aaron would still like this shirt, methinks. I made my brother tell me if it "looked stupid" the other day. His answer was something along the lines of "girls can wear tight shirts like that but it would look dumb if you were a guy."
That song you quoted sounds familiar, but I can't place it. Do I know it? Did I hear it at your birthday thingie?
I wish you were right about summer being over because of reaching the quotient of 110+ degree days! Especially now that my poor car has to fry in it! *whine bitch moan complain*
The "I've come to realize" is kind of dumb as applied to some of these. But it was a fun meme anyway.
My mom was just lamenting the lack of oldies stations on the radio. She says KOOLFM is getting away from the 50s and 60s stuff that she likes, they're playing more 70s that she doesn't like... and someone said no one caters to the older folks... but why would that be? Some of the old folks out here have MONEY, ya know? Esp. the snowbirds (who of course are long gone by now, but still!) I'm not sure how radio station ratings translate into $$$, exactly, but... oh whatever, I'm babbling now and I don't feel like going on and on about it. :)
You should post the meme in your journal too :P
Re: #2
Date: 2008-06-27 07:23 pm (UTC)especially since as you can see, I'm really not working very hard today.Awww, I'm sure other people read it, they're just not as comment-y as I am!
Give me either the title or the artist and I'll see if I know it.
Re: #2
Date: 2008-06-27 07:28 pm (UTC)...why am I thinking R.E.M. did a cover of it too? Like, on an album that I just heard with my brother on our trip... he'll probably roll his eyes at me for messing up this memory. Heh.
And dangit, that thing is a vid so I have to watch at home on the Broken Internetz. Booo.
Re: We are both right!!
Date: 2008-06-27 07:54 pm (UTC)I can hear the "baaaaaaah, bah-BAH-bah..." part in my head. From the R.E.M. version.
My brother will yell at me anyway.
Or maybe he'll be proud that I DID remember something!
The more I mention him, though, the less he wants to comment, he says. And actually, he won't even look at the comments on this post if there gets to be too many. What a weiner he is!
Re: We are both right!!
Date: 2008-06-27 08:10 pm (UTC)Do you know if she gets offline IMs? I sent her one but she didn't respond. She's probably pissed at me. *whines at Becca if she's within whine-shot*
Re: We are both right!!
Date: 2008-06-27 08:22 pm (UTC)*gasp* Phone??? Ewwwwwwwwww!
Re: #2
Date: 2008-06-27 11:27 pm (UTC)Fairly simple, the higher the ratings the more the station can charge advertisers for air time, hence, they get more money per commercial spot. Same concept that applies to those crazy prices advertisers pay for a one minute spot during the Super Bowl.

Date: 2008-06-28 12:44 am (UTC)OK, my turn
Date: 2008-06-28 02:32 am (UTC)Anyway, my turn:
01. I've come to realize that my butt: is fun to sit on.
02. I've come to realize that when I talk: I become possibly the most interesting person in the history of the world.
03. I've come to realize that if I love someone: they're obviously worth loving.
04. I've come to realize that I need: $$$$$$$$$$.
05. I've come to realize that I've lost: my mind.
06. I've come to realize that I hate it when: I get a bill in the mail.
07. I've come to realize that if I'm drunk: hell has likely frozen over.
08. I've come to realize that money: may be the greatest thing on Earth.
09. I've come to realize that my mother: truly had a gem of a son.
10. I've come to realize that I'll probably always be: very popular with others.
11. I've come to realize that I have a crush on: waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many girls.
12. I've come to realize that the last time I cried was: I realized that I have a crush on way too many girls.
13. I've come to realize that my cell phone: lets me talk to a ton of hot broads.
14. I've come to realize that when I wake up in the morning: I want to go back to sleep immediately.
15. I've come to realize that before I go to sleep at night: I'll likely beat off thanks to my crushes.
16. I've come to realize that right now I am thinking about: getting back to working on eBay.
17. I've come to realize that babies: are so great, but I can't have any of my own.
18. I've come to realize that when I get on livejournal: another month must have gone by.
19. I've come to realize that today I will: be up until the sun comes up, working.
20. I've come to realize that tonight I will: oh, uh...right. Ditto.
21. I've come to realize that tomorrow I will: be going to dinner with a girl who, upon our first meeting, we couldn't stand one another. After last night, everything has changed.
22. I've come to realize that I really want to: impress the hell out of this Chrissy chick tomorrow.

31. I've come to realize over the summer: I'm going to try and go someplace cool.

Boy, the Padres totally suck this week.
OK, bye.
Re: OK, my turn
Date: 2008-06-28 02:40 am (UTC)I can't even watch the Dbacks until the cable guy comes! Okay, so I COULD have gone to Brian's, he doesn't have any cable issues. Grrrr. But then I wouldn't have gotten my watering/patio cleaning done
and I couldn't whine about it.Get this - Lifetime Movie Network works, but Fox Sports Net does not!
Chrissy? I haven't heard about this one. That's a dingbat name though. *hopes there are no Chrissys on f-list*
P.S. What shirt is that? I have several "slutty" shirts, don't I? All those tank tops...
Re: OK, my turn
Date: 2008-06-28 04:10 am (UTC)Maybe your cable box is female? Sounds like it to me.
Chrissy is a total dingbat name. This is a girl who I met two years ago (?) I think now, and was a total My-Tree-Tis-Of-Thee to me and everyone else at the dinner, but last night at my "son's" 2-year-old bday party, was really friendly, really touchy-feely, thought I was hilarious (poor thing) and a super nice guy (poor thing) and I conned her into dinner tomorrow night. I am in the middle of a text-message battle with her tonight, and my comments are getting more and more inappropriate and perverted as we go, but she's playing along like a champ. We'll see what happens. Apparently, I'm completely charming, though, even as a foul-mouthed pervert!
Re: OK, my turn
Date: 2008-06-28 04:30 am (UTC)Good luck with Dingbat. Wear a condom!
And by the way... you're talking about M up there, right? The "insane" one?
(heeee, I almost posted this with the complete wrong journal.)
Re: OK, my turn
Date: 2008-06-28 06:34 am (UTC)It's 11:30pm, and I'm just now starting to help my sister move her crap to my house. Because there's no sun, and its kinda nice out. So, I plan on three trips tonight, then sleep at 6-7am, then a movie with a friend tomorrow before dinner with a hopefully-slutty girl-woman. Somewhere in there we should talk, I think.
Good night!!
