Transformers

Yes it is freaking awesome & this movie MORE THAN makes up for Spiderman 3 & Pirates 3 being such awful sleepers. This is the summer movie blockbust event of 2007!!! I can't rave enough about the action, the special effects, the decent story without being too cheesey, it was original, good performances....WOW.

I knew I was into this movie at one scene when the police or men in black capture an autobot because I almost cried.

32 years old and ready to cry at a movie for children's toys...I have reached a new level of sappiness.

Lots of House sitting

In the last 3 months I have house sat six times for four different people. Some are friends and two are regulars that I have house sat for in the past. Some are planned vacations or wedding anniversary's and others have unexpected deaths in the family. What ever the reason I end up watching pets, watering plants and sleeping in someone else's house.

So the fun part about house sitting are all the fun stories:

1. I locked my keys in a locked garage earlier this year


2. I was at one place for a week and they had 5 cats. I only saw 4 of them.


3. Cleaning up animal poo from carpet


4. Sleeping in a bed with cats who like walking around my pillow and purring so loudly I can't go to sleep


5. Catching up on sleep or reading projects


6. Eating two month old Easter candy


7. People brining me delicious food that gave me such bad heart burn I had to drive to the store at 3 am because I couldn't find any Pepto or Tums in one person's house


8. Female neighbors in swimsuits who come over to ask for the pool key...hey I'm single


9. Giving myself the worst farmers tan of my life while sitting out talking with the female neighbors in her swimsuits...hey I had no sunscreen


10. Staying up all night watching scary movies


11. Staying up all night watching sports...hey I don't have cable

And the best part is...I usually get paid for all this!!!

I still got it

I had a man and a woman give me their phone number this weekend.

Not sure how I feel about as I'm not currently seeing anyone. I guess even though I'm not dating I take comfort in knowing I'm appealing to both sexes.

Insane Loneliness

I know I'm not the most gifted communicator and at times I don't explain things well but I'm going to attempt to describe something I don't fully grasp nor do I think most people come close to understanding. The insane feeling of loneliness.

I think there various levels of loneliness and different types of loneliness. There is the all by one's self on a friday night type of loneliness which differs from the being single and not dating anyone type of loneliness. Both compare but differ from insane loneliness.

Insane loneliness is the type one feels when surrounded by a group of people. It is like a thick fog or depression. Sometimes comparable to the feeling/idea that one is different from everyone else on the planet and doesn't fit in with any group of people. There is nothing that seems to bring it on or make the sensation recede. That is my best attemp to define insane loneliness.

Every now and then it comes on and I have no way of making it go away or understanding it. Today I felt such a bout of it coming on while talking with a group of co-workers before leaving work. They were talking but proceded to start teasing me and make me laugh to the point the loneliness went away. I didn't spend more then five minutes with them and they gave me a joy that lasted for hours as I spent the rest of the day by myself. I have always been afraid of insane loneliness but today I learned that genuine laughter shared with friends can cure just about anything.

Brief side note - the coworkers that made me laugh posess extreme off beat senses of humor and made me laugh so hard I coughed & almost lost my breath. Maybe the lesson I learned is the company of crazy funny people who amuse me to death are good for my soul?

Smart cars

Am I the only person on the planet who gets the urge to crash into them when you seen one on the highway? They are sooooooooooooo tiny and I can barely control the urge to smash into them!

It's a good thing I don't own a truck!!!
