One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
I'm sick. I'm not just a little sick, I'm actually A LOT sick. I seem to have no recollection of a 'getting better' post. But now, the irony sinks in.
The wedding this weekend was brilliant. I LOVE Cami and Jeffy, and now that they are eternally wed, I love them even more. It was great to see everyone, and I even cried a little bit.
I would be lying if I said there weren't some sad or annoying moments. I'm past the point in my life where I want to sit and recollect what happened in college. Get over it. At the same time, I would love to say that I am DEFINITELY beyond the other extreme of assinie conversation..what are you doing? where do you live...etc.
I tolerated people I don't like. I'm not going to go into to much specifics, but I did well. No crazy moments.
Looking at pictures, I'm pleased, but I think I could definitely stand to cast a slightly smaller shadow. Sometimes I feel a bit 'thick'.
If I haven't been obsessed with weddings, I am now. It was gorgeous, and I cried, and I want to get married.
Here are some of my thoughts from the wedding:
1. Practice your dances in your dress, if you're going to practice at all. Jeffy and Cami had obviously attempted to practice their first dance. It was so cute. However, I will just say it, their last dance of the night was probably more beautiful...just because of their connection and happiness, and alone-ness on the floor. Cami and her Dad apparently practiced a waltz, but nerves got the better of them.
2. Go for the lighting additions. Scott and Jeffy did some brilliant lighting design. I realize that yes, they are lighting designers, but it certainly added some brilliance
3. Pick a best man and a maid of honor. I realize that there is quite a desire to be impartial to your friends, but I think that everything gets simplier if you just make a decision. But, that's just my thoughts...
4. Chocolate covered strawberries! YUMMY!
5. Don't forget the pen for the guest book... we found one eventually.
6. JUST GET UP AND DANCE... they moved the head table off the dance floor, brilliant thinking.
Pictures to follow...

Getting better.... I remembered
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
Today was a decent day. It appears like much of the 'hullabaloo' seems to have died down. Since I'm skipping next weeks game, I think everything should be fine.
I watched ANTM last night, and if you TiVoed it, stop reading now... SPOILERS!
I cannot believe that they sent Amiee home... I really liked her. She was so cute. You'd think that by now I would understand that if they focus on someone, it probably means they're leaving. I didn't think her photo was that bad, but mostly I just thought that she had more talent than Dominquie has in her whole person...
Ah well...
On to Top Chef... it was the best possible answer, and the person that I most wanted to go home out of the available options. Mind you that I didn't want any of them to go... this was just, in my opinion, the best of all possible worlds.
END SPOILERS!
I'm heading to Denver for a wedding this weekend. I'm really excited about the wedding, and about seeing people I haven't seen in a while. If only Caitlin, Shannon, Nikki, and Graham were attending too. Regardless, I'm psyched!

I missed a whole week... sorry
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
I don't even know where to begin. How awkward and upsetting my work life has become due to Kickball.
I'm not sure where to start this story, only to say that I sort of feel like I want to cry, and I'm upset that it got to this point in the game, where people where upset with me and didn't feel like they could talk to me. Where people where upset with my excitment and energy, and my looking out for the best interest of my team.
I'm upset that I sent out me "I'm quitting' e-mail and no one has said anything to me. Well, except for someone who's no longer on the team.
I'm upset that I tried to do something good for the company, and for the team... I got totally bit in the ass for it. I'm upset that when I woke up this morning I didn't want to come into the office, absolutely UNRELATED to work...
I'm upset that my great day yesterday, at a theme park on the company dollar, got screwed up by a stupid phone call and kickball drama.
KICKBALL! It's just a game. I may appear to be getting 'to into it' or to intense or whatever... it's just a game. I like to play games, I like to be committed and involved. Why ruin that for me.
I didn't mean to upset anyone...in fact, that was the LAST thing I wanted.
But it's fine, i'm out of the way. I'll just stop...good luck.

I want a secret pen microphone
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
Have you ever had one of those moments when you want to be able to hear what other people are talking about? I have those moments ALL THE TIME. Today, I wished, once again, that I could place a little secret microphone on someone to listen in on their conversations.
It's not that I want to steal information that's private... well...okay... It's just that I want to know when someone is talking about me. I want to know that they are discussing me, so I can understand their thoughts, and react to them on my own.
Often times people don't really share their thoughts about you. It's rude, certainly not the most professional thing to do, at least from the PC world we live in.
But I'm not like that. I want to hear your thoughts...the only problem is that I don't want to have to hear them from your mouth. I don't want to sit in a room, because I will probably cry. I want to hear them discreetly, and internalize and process and become better....
So, I guess, the answer is to IM me, send me an e-mail, or drop a note on my desk. No, anonymous doesn't really help.... I need to know who you are, or I can't figure out what part of my process is wrong...

It's been a long, been a long, been a long time....
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
Things worth updating:
I still like the job. I'm starting to feel a little sad that the people at the old job have moved on so diligently, but what are we going to do....
Soccer is going great. I not only scored a goal this weekend, but I made an amazing save as the keeper too!
Kickball is still as fun as ever, but we're not playing to fantastically....23-0 last game. No, not us.
Relationships are just as contentious as usual, with a few wonderful highlights thrown-in for happiness.
Debates I'm having...
Does discussing politics have to devolve into a bad debate? Is a discussion not possible? Are we, as politically correct people, too polite to actually allow a discussion to happen. Do we have to decide that these conversations "religion and politics" are really to contentious to discuss? I'm frustrated. No, I don't know as much as I should, but yes, I do actually enjoy having the conversations...
On other notes, don't go see Fool's Gold, There will be Blood, or Definitely, Maybe. If you already have, I'm sorry my warning didn't come soon enough. If you liked them, then I don't think I understand you. If you worked on them, I guess I'm really glad that you had a job and I'm sure that whatever part it was that YOU were a part of, was great.
I have a lot of thoughts, but I will leave you with only one:
"It's cookie time, it's cookie time, it's cookie time"

Ellipses....
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
I'm a little annoyed that he said no, but I'll be alright....I kicked Molly out of my bedroom last night, she's started to nibble and bite to much....I wonder if the death of that Dungeons and Dragons guy will really mean anything to the world....Hillary Clinton won, the race should get back to exciting....Does a conversion by a conservative rabbi count in Israel?....Kickball really is a great sport, I just need to get on base more often....is claiming that you inspired a shot the same thing as claiming you took it?....Is House still good?.....When is Grey's Anatomy going to start up again, I'm not sure I remember the storylines....How many of my 'friends' do I really want to work here? I keep passing along resumes....Is the Lottery worth it?....
