ramblins

So here I am in Cups, again. Whatever, it just be like that sometimes. I have officially been sick for the two biggest holidays of 2012. That's right folks I was sick on Easter and then again on Christmas. Christmas was way worse though. Easter left me without a voice and tired beyond belief. Christmas had me in bed thinking I had arthritis all over my body, feverish, hoarse, and with a cough. I skyped some peeps and then watched SIXTEEN episodes of How I Met Your Mother...... I was delusional and feverish kids, ok. Don't judge me. Most of the folks in my family were sick. I'm pretty sure Christmas Lunch was attended by two members of my family. I'm not really sure how I'm up and about and at a coffee shop right now. I guess it was a 24 hour thing. It was a pretty awful 24 hour thing though. I haven't been sick like that since high school. So Christmas was kind of a haze but I got some sweet boots. They're like "pip pip cheerio lets hop on the old sallies and go off on a jolly old fox hunt!" kind of boots. I also got corn nuts (SCORE), and the new Brandi Carlile album "Bear Creek". That is an awesome name for an album of my life.
OH MY GOODNESS. I almost forgot! Les Miserables came out yesterday and it was supposed to be a family outing tomorrow. We were all going to go see it, my family and I. But then everyone caught the plague except two and we didn't get to see it!!! It was probably one of the biggest disappointments of my life. I told everyone that I was going to go see it on Christmas and now my sickness made me a liar. I have to go see it tomorrow. This is not nearly as special. I have been looking forward to this since forever. Ever since I saw the preview, Which made me cry the first 25 times I saw it. (Anne Hathaway sings I Dreamed a Dream like no body's business) So that was awful.
Now I am sitting in Cups drinking chamomile tea and listening to a mix of Frightened Rabbit, Christmas music, and Tchaikovsky. I love Tchaikovsky he is so cool. Russians are the coolest.
News flash I'm currently eavesdropping on two men. One lives off Lankershim in LA and is a struggling actor he waits tables... cliche much struggling actor? He auditioned for a reality tv hosting job of the dirty jobs genera of reality tv. The other guy is a producer who just recently produced something for the travel channel called off the map. He was also in a Life time movie and was going to star in a sit com on fox but his contract was burned due to some sort of internal strife at fox. I should just go up and be like "yo diggity I live in California too! we should be friends and talk about California things like Trader Joe's and granola and surf 'n yogurt. I met Anthony Hopkins. I like your glasses. Nice Sweater. Can I have part of your muffin?" I have a feeling we would hit it off great. I think they've noticed me looking at them. They haven't lowered their voices so clearly they don't care who hears them. They are the loudest people in this whole room its kinda ridiculous. But i hope they don't stop because the wifi is down and I don't really have anything else to do right now. Luckily I had my blag up already before the internet crashed so I am able to eavesdrop and blag at the same time. High five for me.
Ah someone else has just entered the scene I recognize him... I feel like I saw him this summer and for some reason I don't like what I remember... AH he's in Methodist Seminary and he was a total booger to my dad and me once when we were asking him about the the Southern Methodist Bishop election. A family friend was in the running (he won btdubs). But this guy was a total poop and acted like he was soooooo much smarter that us and we were like chill out you protestant hipster doofus.
Producer man is gonna have a party soon maybe he'll invite me! I just found out the actors email and the producer's name is Clifton he has a girlfriend. She's an actress.
There's a girl in the corner wearing a sweater I own! Who does she think she is?!

Fa-La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La!!!!!!

It's been a while blagosphere and I'm sorry it's been way too long. For the past few days I have been trying my darndest to get to Cups so I could blog. However surprisingly my days have been very full so I haven't gotten to come here. I know what you're all thinking, WHAT?! Shadynasty's days are filled with dreadfully important things to do? this is not the Shadynasty we remember from the summer! Well it's because I've changed, I had my wisdom teeth out a week ago! I know, I'm never gonna be the same again, its awful, yet, its just what I needed. Actually, no, no one needs to have their jaw cut into and have their teeth ripped out. MY JAW STILL HURTS. But, don't make a big deal out of it or anything. Who invented wisdom teeth????!!! they have no purpose!
I went to wal-mart the other day. It was amazing and completely overwhelming. I thought I was gonna die a few times. I found the Titanic on sale though! I didn't get it though... I saw 12 people I went to High school with at wal-mart, and successfully avoided 6 of them! It is impossible to go to a store in Jackson without running into at least one person you know. I also went to Target it was great I got clothes!
It's Christmas Eve!!!! I love Christmas! this one is gonna be weird though because my big brother and sister both live in Texas now so it's just gonna be me and my parents and my little sisters. Only five people will be home for Christmas.... weird.... I'm completely ashamed but we didn't even get our tree up till yesterday and we haven't even started decorating it till today... oops. But we have egg nog and cinnamon rolls and sausage rolls and 3, that's right, THREE turkeys.               Just let that sink in for a moment                         Don't ask me why we have that many. I have no idea. NO IDEA. Don't worry we are only eating one tomorrow if we even eat half of it, turkeys are huge. I asked my parents if i could make mashed potatoes to go with our Christmas lunch and my parents asked me if I was sick. Apparently only Yankees make mashed potatoes with their big meals. I don't understand. Mashed potatoes are beautiful fluffy things that make everything taste amazing and are what the clouds made of in Unicorn Land (they rain butter). I think Mashed potatoes are for all peoples regardless of nationality (Yankee or confederate). I have a dream that one day I will eat Mashed potatoes at Christmas lunch and no one will care! Who's with me?!
I keep almost falling asleep in the middle of Cups. I'm sitting on a couch that they have which is kinda gross because who know who has been here before. I can't have been the first person to have used this couch. But, what if I am! think about what that would mean! Ok, I just thought about it and it doesn't really mean anything, unless it's a contest where the first person to use it gets 3 wishes from the Couch Genie. The Couch Genie is related to the Birthday Goblin, and the Awesomeness Fairy. More on those later. The Couch Genie is the brother of the Diaper Genie. He's the firstborn son of the Hogfather, which explains why he gets to be the Couch Genie and not the Diaper Genie. He grants wishes to the first person to sit on a couch ever. Futons, day beds, recliner chairs, and bunk beds are not included. His skin is whatever cloth that particular couch is made of and he has crumbs and batteries and remote controller pieces and pacifiers, and half eaten candy in his hair. He is shaped like a potato, but don't mention that to him, he's very sensitive about it.  But, I wasn't the first person to sit on this couch, so it doesn't matter for me, bummer.
Just now i thought I lost everything I had written so far it was the worst feeling in the entire world. I was seriously considering throwing my chamomile tea at leopard print platform stiletto woman across the room from me. I think i might anyway just because she is wearing leopard print platform stilettos in the middle of the day on Christmas Eve with jeans on.......... really lady.......
Alright I have to skedaddle I have no idea what this post is about, its just nonsense. But aren't we all?
MERRY CHRISTMAS EAT MASHED POTATOES!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
