Merry Christmas!

Because of my recent addiction to watching "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" clips on YouTube (I don't have any of the DVDs yet), here are some of my favorite Christmas-related scenes from the show.

Knocking down the Christmas tree Irish Drinking song, featuring Brad Sherwood, Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles.


Christmas Hoedown, featuring Brad Sherwood, Drew Carey, Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles.

I believe Ryan is saying "fucking Mrs. Claus" at the end. Stupid censors..

And from the 2nd season of the original British "Whose Line," a game of Authors, featuring Greg Proops ( I have a total geek-crush on this guy), Sandi Toksvig, Tony Slattery and Mike McShane.

The game itself kicks in about a minute and a half in, after the introductions of all the players.

Lookit! I'm Blogging!!

Yes, I know. It's been a while.

I'm still with Josh. We've been together 6 months now and things are going great.
Here's us on Halloween.

Yes, we're going to hell.

Chele had her baby boy not even 2 weeks ago. Cameron Jackson Groskopf was 7 weeks premature and weighed 4lbs 2oz. He's now breathing 100% on his own and feeding normally. They hope to be able to bring him home by Christmas.

I left the salon the treated me like shit for 8 years and am now working at another salon that is much better so far.

Life is good. I have absolutely no complaints for a change. =]

I have also updated my music blog.

Dodge Challenger goes Plum Crazy Purple for 2010



Of the three classic muscle car nameplates currently on sale in the United States, the Dodge Challenger may very well sport the most retro look and feel. Whether or not that's a good thing depends on your personal point of view, but Chrysler seems happy to accept the role and is further promoting the link to Challenger's '70s heritage with a new Plum Crazy Pearl Coat color option for 2010.

In case you're not aware, Plum Crazy was the surprisingly popular deep purple hue found on the Challenger and its stablemate, the Plymouth Barracuda, during the heyday of the American muscle car wars. These days, any car originally painted up in Plum Crazy has an intrinsic value to many collectors, and it seems Dodge is hoping for a similar situation the second time around.

The purple color is only available on R/T (for $225) and SRT models (for $500) for 2010 and the package also includes Plum interior stitching and a Plum seat stripe on the SRT8. Outside, buyers can choose from either Black Dual Wide Stripes or a newly-optional set of stripes in white. Previous High Impact colors Detonator Yellow and B-5 Blue are no longer available for order.

Also new for the Challenger in 2010 is a Super Track Pack option for a reasonable $400 that allows the driver to fully disengage stability control (finally) and adds 245/45ZR20 tires from Goodyear along with an uprated suspension with Load Leveling and Height Control, Performance Steering and heavy-duty disc brakes.

No, I don't only want it because it's purple. I've had a thing for muscle cars ever since I was a kid. I will own one someday.

Man Dies At Chocolate Factory

(CNN) -- An employee at a New Jersey chocolate processing plant died Wednesday after falling into a vat of hot chocolate, according to a spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor's office.

Vincent Smith II, 29, was dumping raw chocolate into the vat for melting when he fell in from a nine-foot high platform. He suffered a fatal blow to the head from the vat's agitator, a paddle-like mechanism used for stirring the chocolate.

According to the Camden County prosecutor's office, three other people were on the platform at the time. One was able to shut the machinery off quickly, but it was too late to save Smith.

The facility, owned by Cocoa Services Inc., is managed and operated by by Lyons and Sons.

The rectangular vat, which was 8 feet deep, 14 feet long and 6 feet wide, was churning a batch of chocolate for Hershey's when the accident occurred, the prosecutor's office said.

What in the hell? ETA

So yesterday morning I go to sign in on MySpace, and I get the message "Invalid Friend ID. This user has either cancelled their account, or their account has been deleted."

At first I thought it was a MySpace glitch since they're pretty common, so I tried again. Same thing. I had Josh try to see if he could view my profile page. Same thing again.

So I contacted MySpace this morning to see what the deal was. I got a return email that said I had probably violated the Terms Of Service.

Umm...no. I did not.

I emailed back asking for specifics. I haven't gotten anything back yet.

Fuck MySpace.

I'm signing up for Facebook sometime this week.


ETA: My profile is back up. I still don't know what the hell happened.

I still might do Facebook though.

Hmm...its been a while

I know I haven't been blogging much lately.

I'm back to working 6 day weeks and it's tiring.

I'm still seeing Josh and things are going really well. It's so much better than when we were going out last year. There was always this underlying awkwardness before. Maybe it was because he was leaving. Maybe it was because we didn't really know each other when we first started going out. We became friends pretty much after he left. It's just so much more comfortable now. I feel like this can really go somewhere.

Working with the public

I love doing hair. Absolutely love it.

But sometimes I really hate dealing with people.

This lady came into the shop yesterday wanting to get her hair colored. I sit her in my chair then go get the standard client consultation card and release form that anyone getting a chemical service in our shop is required to fill out.

Customer: *filling out the consultation card* "Why do you need to know how often I wash my hair? That's a little too personal."

Me: "That just helps us to analyze the condition of your hair. If you shampoo too often it can dry it out, so I'd have to take extra care with the color."

Customer: *ignores me and moves on to the release form* "Why do I have to fill this out?"

Me: "That's just a standard release form, ma'am. Anyone who gets a chemical service has to sign one."

Customer: "rude tone* "Nowhere I've ever gone has made me do this."

Me: "It's our company's policy ma'am. I can't do your color if you don't sign it."

Then she proceeds to throw the paper at me and practically yells at me that she doesn't have to sign anything and we shouldn't make people fill out a release form to cover our own asses and blah blah blah. I defend that I don't make the rules and I'm just required to follow them. Then she storms out while still bitching, saying she's going to call the home office.

Go ahead. Call home office. They'll tell you the same thing I did.

Bitch.

Random Musical Coincidence

Yes, I'm pimping my own blog.

And, what?

Seriously.



The one on the bottom left is from Monday. The rest are from last night.

I understand getting caught up in the heat of the moment. I thoroughly enjoy it while it's happening. But I never used to get marks this bad. Josh is no longer allowed anywhere near my neck.

Ridiculously addictive game

It's called Dating Ariane.

CLICKY!

The goal of the game is to have a successful date with this girl. And by "successful" I mean "getting in her pants."

Although I'd love to see a version where you're playing the girl trying to get into the guy's pants.

I can't wait for this movie!

What was I thinking?

So Matt got in touch with me a few days ago and said he wanted to see me.

Long story short, dating each other casually came up, and we were supposed to hang out last night, as per his request.

Around 4pm he texted me that he had too much going on to hang out.

I pretty much went off on him, bringing up the fact that he always had "too much going on" to see me and that I thought he frequently told me what he thought I wanted to hear, even if it was a lie, and that I was fucking over it. He had no real defense for himself, and I ended the conversation with "You really shouldn't give girls you date your Myspace password. Someday someone isn't going to be as nice as I am." I got no response to that. So I'm done.

I ended up going to Josh's last night to hang out and watch a movie. I may end up getting back with him after all. At least he actually enjoys my company.

This morning I deleted Matt from my Myspace. I feel pretty damn good about it.

Yesterday...

...was Mother's Day.

Have I ever mentoned that I have the most awesome mom ever?

Well, I do.

She's been a constant source of comfort and support when things go wrong in my life.

She's always happy and proud when things go right in my life.

She always sees the best in me and makes me want to be the best woman I can possibly be.

Even with all she's been through, and still goes through, she's always there for me, no matter what.

I love you Mom!

Stupid people are stupid

Someone posted this on a message board I lurk on. I thought it was hilarious

New developments

So I talked to Matt some more last night and he finally told me what I honestly believe is the truth.

He's not over his ex-girlfriend of 4 years who broke up with him when he was in boot camp last year. She has what he thought was his child, but he found out she'd cheated on him 3 years ago and that his little girl isn't his at all.

I knew all this from the beginning, btw.

He loves that little girl more than life, regardless of biology. And because of that love, he's stayed in touch with his ex in order to stay in the child's life. So because of the continuing contact with her, he hasn't been able to get over her.

He cares about me, but he doesn't feel ready to move on.

And you know, I believe him. And I respect how much he loves that little girl.

I know how difficult it is to stop loving someone when you're still in contact even after it's over. I've been there.
