Creepy dreams invovling LJ friends, Oh my.  

So today I was sleeping, and I'd taken some tylenol PM. Because I never get much sleep these days, except on days off when I can go to sleep when its still dark out. So tylenol PM makes my already ridiculous dreams way weirder. Most of my dream I can't remember, except knowing for sure that it was totally out there and mostly as dark as the one part I do remember, which incidentally, involves Amber ([info]secret_plasures ).

So Amber calls me up and she's like, I wanna hang out, but first you need to come over. I don't want to tell you why, 'cause it will upset you, but you're being asked for. So I go over and I go in her room (which is gigantic) and it's just a bedroom but there's an open glass-topped coffin in there and an alive little girl, plus some of the little girls' family, a preacher, and another college aged girl, and of course, Amber. The other college aged girl doesn't ever get called anything so I'm thinking this is Amber's friend Jen. And the little girl, she looks like Bailey in The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants. (and well, in the books/movie she dies, so I guess that sorta makes sense). But Amber's all like, "she wants to say goodbye". and so I guess they're doing funerals BEFORE death now? LOL, WTF? So the little girl says bye (and I guess I sort of know her, and Amber is calling her "Valetta", which, wtf?") and everyone starts crying, and the Amber closes the coffin, which is bizarre and creepy. And then we call cry some more.

yeah I never said it made sense. anyway, then I got online tonight and Amber had tweeted something that made her sound sort of emotional, and considering the wierd dream I'm all "OMG ARE YOU OKAY?", which she said she was but I'm still kinda worried.

And then she wanted to hear about my dream, so I thought I'd show you how wierd they get sometimes.
 
Amber's fine. Me, I'm not so sure. LOL.

Customer suck of 8/23.  
So this guy comes in. "do y'all have a room with two beds left?"
"Yes sir, but only smoking."
"They have DVD players, right?"
"Um, not that I'm aware. As far as I know they don't".
"Each room has to have a tv and dvd right?"
"A tv, for sure. But I don't think we have DVD players."

well apparently that wasn't good enough. I'm not allowed to leave the front desk, so I can't check so he wants to see a room. I'm not allowed to do that. So he and his friend (I THOUGHT) were going to leave.

After they go outside and deliberate for ten minutes, they come back. "Do y'all have cable hookups for the dvd players?"
Seriously? I happen to know that we do because some of our regulars bring their Xboxes and Wiis.
"If I go to Wal-Mart [we have one just behind our property] and buy a DVD player can I hook it up?"
"Yes."

That dude and his friend REALLY want to watch a movie. But the sad part is, they could have gone home to watch it. they live twenty minutes from here.

The suck part was how offended he was that no, we don't have dvd players, and how it's like all he could think about. But seriously, for what you payed for the room plus the dvd player, you could have watched a hundred movies at home!

I know it doesn't sound like a big deal. It was the way he was treating me, as if I'm some sort of desk-monkey who should magically pull dvd players from my butts.

I BOUGHT A NEW CAR!  

My old one was not safe and leaving me stranded and falling apart. So look!

That's: the steering wheel, cupholders/ac/radio/shift, front seat, back seat, trunk, front (sorry I couldn't figure out how to turn it right side up), back, and profile.

Also, I got tagged for this meme the other day, by both [info]thebucketwomanand [info]ayadec

First: If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new question.

Second: Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.

Tag, you're it!

I met Drake Bell. And Backhouse Mike. BEST DAY EVER!  

Hey y'all! Apparently Drake rates higher on my "This is the most amazing thing, EVER" scale than Paris because here is a picspam from yesterday.

I'm starting with concert pics, and then going to Meet and Greet pics, even though that isn't chronological, because I want to torture you guys. LOL, or just save the best for last. But the best thing about my day BESIDES Drake? I WON a three day, two night vacation to either Orlando or Las Vegas. HOW crazy is THAT? I was just walking along, looking for a water fountain, and this lady stopped me, and was like "you want to try to win a vacation?" and I was all "sure why not". I never win anything, and I'd already won passes to the Meet and Greet, just two days prior, so I KNEW I was going to lose. So I was supposed to spin this wheel, like an upright version of like Wheel of Fortune type thing. So I gave it a spin, and started filling out the paper she wanted. (You know, phone number, address, that sort of thing). And I'm just filling it out, not even looking at the wheel, because I KNOW I'm going to lose. I just know. So I'm busy writing and I hear the wheel stop, but I keep writing, again, I KNOW its a loss. And the lady goes "look, you won!" and I look up, and there it is, right there on the win spot! I'm just like "No freaking way." So yeah, am trying to decide whether I go to Orlando or Vegas, and who I should take with me.

Paris, Drake, and that good news I mentioned.  
 Man, it has been FOREVER! I took SOOO many pictures it took forever to find the motivation to post any. I really did go! Look: Eiffel towerIt is so beautiful. As is Notre Dame and a hundred other things. But I failed my "I won't blog again until Paris" goal, BECAUSE guess what?

I GET TO MEET DRAKE BELL FRIDAY!

See, he's doing a concert at Six Flags San Antonio, so my sister and I are driving the 3.5 hours there and back to see the show. But about an hour ago on Twitter, he had a contest: first three people to @reply him got two Meet and Greet passes. Well guess who @ replied him? ME! And I got passes! AND I"M MEETING DRAKE FREAKING BELL FRIDAY!

Expect more pictures up sporadically because I just don't have the attention span to put up all of them. Plus I decided not to show you all of them because a)most of them are of Paris housing, which all looks the same and is everywhere, b)there are 700 and some are really crappy or stupid and c)I'd rather give you Eiffel Tower spams and Notre Dame spams and spams of other cool places that we saw, like Chartres cathedral, Sacre Coeur basilica, the gardens of Claude Monet's house and the exterior of it, a couple of chateaux's, the palace at Versailles, the outside of the Moulin Rouge (we saw a show there, but they take your cameras), and the Louvre.

Oh, and Fandom in-joke spam. because Paris managed to have two or three fandomy moments, haha!

Oh and for those of you who I haven't told because you aren't on Twitter: I GOT A NEW JOB! Yeah, you know how I hated my old one and it made me hot and dehydrated and paid crap and never gave me many hours? Well I got a new one as the night auditor at a hotel: FULL TIME, a set schedule, and no getting up early! Pay is still crap, but OMG full time, so oh well, right? LOL. Plus I basically get paid to hang out on here and watch movies, because there is very little to do.

You guys! I'm leaving tonight!  
Today I leave! I'm so excited!

Also, I totally forgot to tell you guys! My sister came home from Disney World Sunday night and brought me back a souvenir. Guess what it was? A hat. You know how I love hats. Guess what else it was? High School Musical 3. You know how much I love HSM. So yes, I have this really cute hat, its black, it has a HSM3 logo patch on it, and the brim and the band are trimmed with gold sparkles that are reminiscent of the lights from the original logo. SO COOL. My sister loves me. Or else she was just trying to bribe something really good for me to bring her from Paris. LOL.

Randomness about icons you probably don't care about. I was gonna use my Lizzie icon for this post at first, because:
Paris->French->French Canadian->Canada->Life With Derek->Lizzie. But then I thought, well, I should use my Ryan icon, because:
HSM hat->HSM->Ryan. But then I decided that since I got two new icons (SEE, I'm finally filling that space up! 8 icons out of 35 now! LOL), I must use one of them in my next post. And I thought "Gibby is cool, but this picture of notlegal!Freddie is criminally hot. So it must be used of course.

I will miss you guys, but I will be checking my email (if everything goes as planned), so leave me LJ messages. Plus I don't leave my house 'til 5, so you can still message me!

3 days and counting  

UNTIL PARIS!

I've been stressed and tired from work or working on a sewing project, or on, but too tired to post and with nothing substantial to say. So that's where I've (not) been. So anyway, when I finish my project I will post a picture! I HOPE to finish before I leave but I'm not sure if I will or not.

I'm debating whether or not to bring my laptop, though my teacher is bringing hers, so I'm not sure whether I will be posting anything while I'm there or not.

I would LOVE to have SOMETHING to say, since its been a while since I posted, but...I'm boring and I got nothing.

TALK TO ME! tell me stuffs!

Meme!  
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, a word etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. (To which you must respond!)
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ.

Got this from Amber and Abby.

I may post more later if I start feeling better.

The Best Years  

Snagged from Meagan, Allie, and Cat.

Ask me a question about one of my fanfictions. It can be absolutely anything in any fic and I will tell you the honest-to-god answer. Don’t hold back. Ask about major upcoming plot points if you want to. Whatever you ask, I have to answer truthfully.

Any of you guys fans of The Best Years? I know Katie and Cat watch it, but anyone else?

...am I the only person shipping Noah/Sam? I've been shipping them since the first time they were on screen together. Although I could maybe also ship Noah with Kathryn with proper provocation.

Talk to me!

For someone who is "a most loved teen star", Zac Efron is certainly modest!  
Day before yesterday Demi Lovato tweeted that she was going to be on the Ellen Degeneres show. So yesterday I had my break during the Ellen show so I put the tv on to see if she would be on there. And found out Zac Efron was going to be on it too! Well I waited through like 10 minutes of Ellen-monologue and commercials before Zac came onscreen and only got to see about 4 minutes of his segment and none of Demi's. I youtubed it to see the rest.

I think you guy's should watch the Zac segment. What stands out to me is how self-effacing he is, throughout all of it. He is near bashful at parts, and if there is one thing I love it's a self-effacing guy, so you know I loved this video. Keep it on for the duration, when they play the second round of "last word", he has a hilarious reaction scene.

Hope you enjoy!

I dreamed about the JoBros...  


 

( A cut in which I detail my dream about the Jonas Brothers )

And then I woke up. And thought "I wish that was real!" And then I thought of [info]author_abz and[info]severus_falter, and knew I had to post it, cause they love Kevin Jonas as much as I do!

(BTW, Joe was in it too, of course, he just never said anything substantial.)

A request for my video-talented LWD Lizwin friends.  

Would one of you Lizwin shippers on my friends list care to make a fanvid/ship (I dunno the actual term) video (like on youtube), with lots of season 3 and 4 Lizwin clips  to Love Bug by the Jonas Brothers?

I just think it's a perfect song for them.

I can think of some really great scenes, so let me make it easy for you. Misadventures in Babysitting, Teddy's Back, It's Our Party, Freaked Out Friday, Truman's Last Chance, The Bet, and of course that line in Date With Derek when she thinks he asks her to the school dance. There's a good scene in one of the more recent episodes where they are arguing in the hallway because Ed tried to make Liz believe he got better grades on his report card, I can't remember the name of it. Also, any games closet scene.

I got an Easter dress today, and my mom decided to buy it for me. Now I need shoes, jewelry, and a hat. (I think it needs a big floppy hat, okay?) Shoes are at Cato, hopefully I can find one at the other Cato that fit a little better. The other stuff, I don't know, but I think I'm driving out to Pearland or Sugarland after work tomorrow to see what I can see.

Now if only I could stumble onto a nice 75% off swimwear sale at Dillards and I'd be set *grin*.

Various odds and ends  

I did it. I Twitter now. Follow me if you want and I'll follow you back. Im https://twitter.com/VintageJen1984.
What finally pushed me over the edge was Dan wanting us to pick the iCarly kids outfits for the dance. I wanted to be part of it!

Things that irritate me. It is incredibly hard to find attractive swimsuits that fit and flatter and don't cost an arm and a leg. And I really need one for France. Also I have to buy an Easter dress. I found the perfect one that fits amazingly and I can't get it. See, Jacey had found that one yesterday when she was shopping for hers. And Mom told her she didn't think David would let her wear a strapless dress to church. So I can't get it because it wouldn't be fair to her, even though they can't actually tell me what to wear or anything. Even though its really cute and Jacey found a really cute dress. This dress is seriously awesome, too, guys. grr. It looks like something you might see in Hairspray. The last part of the problem is that I can't find another one.

What's up with you guys?

Surgery! (It's so not what you think).  
I'm about to do some surgery on a pair of jeans. They fit great and look great but haven't been worn much because they are really coarse and thick fabric, so they leave blisters between my legs. (Probably TMI, but why else would I be doing what I'm doing to them?) I got some bandanas (not some bright red countryfied things, I just thought it would be cheaper and easier than fabric plus I was inspired by a skirt I had when I was a small child.). They are a medium-light pink with white pinstripes. I'm going to turn the jeans into a skirt and add a ruffle around the bottom made from the bandanas. I'm hoping to have enough bandanas left over to make a really cute top to make an "outfit". I'm taking before and after pics, so if you guys wanna see my craft escapade (and lets hope it is successful!), lemme know so I can post it here. I'll probably post it anyway but I hope you guys want to see it, because this is the first surgery I'm expecting to be good (yay, sewing machine!), and I am really excited to see if it works.

Salad dressing recipes!  
We have three different variations, with an option that can be used in each one to change it up a little.

It is important to note that these should be prepared in a container with a screw-top lid, since anything with oil and vinegar needs to be well-shaken before you pour.

Option 1:
2 parts oil
1 part balsamic vinegar
chopped garlic, pepper, and seasoned salt
SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE, SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE, SHAKE YOUR DRESSING

Option 2:
1.5 parts oil
1 part red wine vinegar
chopped garlic, pepper, and seasoned salt
SHAKE SHAKE, SH-SHAKE SHAKE, SH-SHAKE IT 

Option 3:
1 part oil
1 part white wine vinegar
chopped garlic, pepper, and seasoned salt
MOVE IT LIKE THIS, AND SHAKE IT LIKE THAT

You'll noticed I did these separately because the balsamic is really super strong, the red wine less strong than that but still strong, and the white wine less strong than the others, so the ratio of oil to vinegar is different in each one. Also, if you hadn't noticed from the lyrical caps, but SHAKING IS IMPORTANT. Not just when you make it, but EVERYTIME you eat it, because the oil and vinegar will separate. Also the oil always pours out so salad covered in oil is not the most appetizing. Ask me how I know. *wink*

Finally, this makes a nice vinaigrette, but if you want a thicker, creamier vinaigrette, put a couple of teaspoonfuls of brown mustard.

You can also add other spices of course, this is just what we use when we throw it together before a salad. It is Muy Delicioso!

Lemme know if you decide to try it!

This blog brought to you by my new laptop!  


It's shiny!

Sadly, it's just a meme and a funny from a Zef interview, because I don't have anything much to say. Ah well. Here you are.

 

( A meme I really did for the first question. If its too long, please read that and the followup blog about it. *grin* )

Also, over at [info]bleumangroup  there is a link to a Zac Efron interview. In the introduction (before the actual interview part) it talks about HSM from the perspective of a jaded adult, and it totally made me laugh.

If you’re over the age of 12 and still have all your faculties intact, or if you’re simply a hardened preteen, then the HSM films may present themselves as the worst kind of teenage wish-fulfillment fantasy. They’re simple, sort of saccharine, and seem to exist in a kind of vacuum-packed, irony-free, alterna-reality that makes Saved by the Bell
look almost dystopic.

Just the last part made me choke in laughter. Because as dystopic-free as Saved By The Bell is, HSM manages to do just that.

Further into the interview, Zef admits to skateboarding in his house (which appears to be why he bought a modern house with concrete floors.)

I'm still alive.  

Sorry, guys I haven't been on LJ in like a whole seven days. (My flist was EPIC).

I still exist.  I took out a loan to go to Paris!

And Amber I will do that meme tomorrow or Thursday.

Thursday I am buying my laptop.

What a busy week it's been. (My cousin had her baby shower Saturday and I thought she was going to pop right there, even though she's not due for a month. She's so big they're probably inducing her next week!)

So I don't have much interesting going on these days.  
My favorite college teacher (who is married to my other favorite, the theatre director), the one I've taken purposely like 4 times, is taking a group of kids to PARIS in May. she dropped the tour group they were supposed to go with because they were being all crappy, and decided to organize it herself, which means there's still time to get in on it. I wish the deadline was passed, because I REALLY want to go but there is no way I can get 1600 dollars in time for the trip. Unless anyone on here knows some trick I don't and would be willing to share it with me.

Ideas? Tricks? Tips? It would be the highlight of my life.

In other news, I'm wierd about food. I'm OBSESSIVE over milk. Seriously I drink like three glasses a day. I turn my nose up at sodas and rarely drink water or juice. And I just ate an entire can of black olives for supper. Cause I love em. Usually I eat them ON something: tacos, subway sandwiches, pizza, salad--I have only eaten a bunch by themselves like this once before, its not like a habit or anything, like the milk is. But its still wierd.

The new Life With Derek today was AWESOME. Like, super-de-duper awesome. (Anyone else remember the 80's use of superlatives?)

So that's it. Just trying to find a way to get to Paris.

Stage!HSM update, interview, stuff.  

OMG y'all! In class Thursday I realized I have Gabriella's science teacher and KELSI in my class! HOW freaking cool is THAT?

I got a dress, shoes, earrings and a massive haircut today. I know I forgot to post pics of my last one and now I have a new one. It's VERY short. Like, a pixie.

I had a job interview Thursday at a daycare. I really enjoyed working childcare before, and I hope I can get out of this job and into one I enjoy.

I have the WHOLE WEEKEND off. (breathes sigh of relief).

I KNOW I had more, but it all seems to have slipped right out of my mind, since I have been up for a VERY long time, since I had to be at work at 6:30. 6:30. This morning. So I will probably be back tomorrow to post whatever I forgot. SINCE I have the WHOLE WEEKEND off. *grin*

Oh! And is it possible to have only heard a song once yesterday and now today think it is overplayed? I seriously just heard that new Britney Spears song "Circus" or whatever it's called yesterday night, and now I've heard it like thirty times! It's been like 27 hours! It's ridiculous! And this is just from casual radio listening!

High School Musical On STAGE. It was EPIC.  

Yes, I saw it. YES it was AMAZING. An area high school was doing a production of it and I said...there's NO WAY I'm not going! I'm going to break it down a little because otherwise I might forget something.

( All about the show )
Anyway, it was AWESOME to be up close watching these kids do this.

Unrelatedly, are there any old "I Dream of Jeannie" or "Bewitched" fans out there watching "Wizards of Waverly Place"? You know how Justin and Alex's teacher is Mr. Larrytate? As in Larry Tate, Darrin's ad exec boss on "Bewitched"? And then tonight on the new episode, TJ turns his girlfriend Jennie into a 40 year old art teacher who Alex has to change back, and her 40 year old art teacher name is "Miss Majorhealy". As in Major Healy, Major Nelson's goofy friend and coworker? I'm going to keep a look out for more of these, I think it's awesome Wizards is recognizing that the magical element is not something they came up with.
