Everyone must watch the 'Cutting Edge 2' on ABC Family on Sunday March 12. The 'Cutting Edge was quite a movie and if you've never seen you must rent it. Don't forget to mark your calendar.

Anyone up for a game of kickball or flag football? The weather is gorgeous and I am up for some sort of outdoor game.

Tonight I was watching Gray's Anatomy and well the main character Meredith had sex with George soon after he told her that he loved her. Woah. Right. Then there was awkwardness between them. It turns out that during sex she started crying and made him feel bad because she realized that it was not what she wanted. She said that at the time he was saying all the right things, but really didn't return the feelings.

Sometimes the 'right things' can make you do things you don't want to do. Also it says that getting involved with a close friend can doom your future relationship. At the end of the episode George moves out and it is implied that their friendship will never be the same.

A note taken.

On another note: Do you believe in karma? I

Karma will always find us. We can't escape it. It will always follow us home. In the end karma just evens the score.

I am going to put this into a list so it is a bit more understandable, but really this post contains a bunch of interesting, pondering, nifty things to think about, discuss or laugh at.

1. When you think your job sucks just think about this job. Today I was coming home and there was this girl who was delivering the lawrence.com magazine to all the door in my building. Poor girl, she was already a bit unfortunate and on top of that had to wear this vest thing that held the rolled up door hang mags walking up and down the apartment stairs putting one on each door. The only positive I see in that sucky job is the exercise.

2. Every once in a while I have a moment that makes me think I am becoming my mother.

3. Is it possible to pull a butt muscle?

4. Why do people sleep with people to get ahead? There are so many issues with this, but I know in some cases it works. How unfair.

5. And on that note, lets follow it up with this. Would you ever have sex at your office? Think about it.

6. SO, with the recent things that have been happening in my life I can't not write a thought about boys. Ugh they just make you crazy. Can guys and girls just be friends. When Harry Met Sally tried to make it seem so until they ruined it in the end. I have been a believer in this idea but recent events have made me call it into question. This idea will be an open debate for me over the next few weeks. Then, the second thing is girls aren't supposed to make the first move. Are they? Not in all cases, this responsibility is totally shared so make a move or take a hint once in a while (you know who you are). Damn.

I had some other thoughts, but I have forgotten them. Maybe I'll think of them and add them later.

Well the phrase no longer applies to just relationships people. I realized that I can't commit to anything.

Decisions have never been my strong suit and still today they aren't. Stop asking me to decide okay. I'll do what I feel is best knowing that I have the support of my family. The journey is important, not the destination.


Something to think about, moments and memories. What ones are profound in your life?

So the weekend is over. It is weird now that I am not in school anymore I don't look forward to the weekend like I used to. Maybe that is because I still have to work on the weekend, thus it isn't like a rest or break from the other five days of the week.

After having an interesting week that started off with a hellish Monday of layout and six hours of sitting/standing in a junior high gym I was welcomed by Valentine's Day on Tuesday. Red, candy, and flowers who needs them. My horoscope had the audacity on this day to tell me in the tonight part 'dinner for two'. I ate solo but filled the evening with two movies, neither did I watch alone. So Wednesday and Thursday ushered in more games at the junior high and on the week I rachted up about 20 hours covering junior high ball.

This week I thought a lot about my future, getting a new job, what I really want to do next, and am I happy with the current state of my life and my realtionships with other people?.?. Saturday proved to be interesting and Adam's shot habbit proved to be dangerous for me (but nonetheless interesting). I started out the day working (ugh) but then saw KU rape MU and experienced the glorious fun the iSight has to offer.

Okay paragraph break for the iSight. Clapping uncontrollably. You can have a one-way vido conference with someone, so Meagan and I proceeded to converse for an hour and a half, she was able to see me and I was able to hear her. It was glorious fun, the most I might have had that night. The vodcats might be coming soon....

Well Monday morning will come to soon and it will all start over again. In the spirit of the Olympics, Buena note!

Well I have finally recovered from my birthday week of fun. And overall it was fun! Monday there was bowling and beer, I sucked at bowling and maybe drank a bit too much beer, but my good friends were there to celebrate my 23rd. Then on Thursday was the big day. There was El Mez and margaritas followed by a lovely cake that Adam made and decorated so appropriately and after I blew out the candles we headed to the Ranch for some dancing.

Thanks for all the phone calls and birthday wishes and we will wait for another year of birthday fun.



Check out this gallery from the Ranch.

If you have access to Facebook I have posted all the photos from my birthday.

Last night all of the memories of the newsroom came rushing back to me as I held the tripod and Adam carried the camera. BREAKING NEWS, something that always got us Multimedia Newsroomers in a frenzy of excitement. Well I got to experience breaking news but in a new newsroom (a bit sad) but just as exciting cause it was with the Journal-World.

Last night I had been over at 1326 Mass for a Crux cd release/boys wanted to have a party party, decided to go down to a bar on Mass with a few people for an hour and then return to the house when the bars closed. Leaving a few minutes before 2:00am to walk back to the boys' house, nothing on Mass looked out of place then moments after we were out of the danger zone/slash area of the incident we saw police cars wizzing by, but really didn't think anything of it, til I learned that there was a shooting at the Granada.

At that moment I can say that I was a little drunk and wasn't thinking breaking news. So back at the party I mentioned to Alyssa and Adam that we should go and get pizza (Alyssa who is visiting from NYC needed to get some Wheat State Pizza) and we were in agreement. After getting in the car I mentioned to Adam about the shooting and well, if you know him, when there is a story we must go.

I had no coat (cause we were just going to get pizza) and was drunk, but after swinging by Dole to get the camera we headed down to blocked off Mass. Street to begin our breaking news coverage. I contacted Candice who was at the JW to let her know the situation. After it was indeed confirmed that there was a shooting and that life flight was coming for a victim I called Candice again to let her know that she should get a reporter out here and a photographer as well, cause this was going to be a big story. (She couldn't get hold of a reporter, so I called myself into action.)

Adam and I preceeded to walk around and try to get some info, as Adam shot video. As we tried to get some information we ran into/was approached by a man who witnessed the incident. He was an interesting man, a bit odd you could say, who was not from Lawrence. He gave us a sound-bite and recounted the incident out in the street. The life flight was landing (which by the way was a pretty cool thing to witness up close) and the victim was wheeled on a stretcher from the ambulance to the helicopter. I talked to the witness a little more, and in his weirdness he preceeded to tell me about himself and that he just needed a wife and mother for his daughter, a woman to have his kids and he also mentioned while I was questioning him that he wanted me to be that. (WHY do I seem to attract all the wrong guys.)

So freezing and freezing, no longer drunk (seemed to sober up quickly in this situation) we were unable to get an interview with the police captain and decided that we exhausted all the info and should get warm. We preceeded to go back to the house, share the stories with the few stragglers left at the party and then I went to the newscenter to write a breaking news story for ljworld.com.

All-in all breaking news is exciting but at the same time sobering (no pun intended). I'll tell you why. We were standing outside of the police tape and there was a woman with two other people. As I was eavesdropping on her conversation with a police officer I discovered that she was the daughter of one of the victims (incidentally the victim that died on the way to the hospital). At the time I shared some information with her (the police weren't being helpful), but wasn't about to pry into the situation. Adam on the other hand wanted to see if she would talk to us, but never asked as some detectives came and took her away to answer her questions. At that moment I realized that her father just died, why in the hec would it even cross my mind to ask her if she wanted to talk to the media.

So by 6:30am I finally was able to go to sleep. What an exciting night.
