My heart’s a stereo – and I’m going to start sharing “deep stuff” ;)

Posted on June 26, 2011 by Daisy

It is trite and dramatic to mention my entire world has changed over the past 8 months; of course it has! Hasn’t everyone’s? How can you LIVE and love and not change or grow? But yet I find myself wanting to say it!

I have changed. I am changed.

I am also Queen of the Obvious!

But there! I said it – I got it out of the way. We can move forward. :) haha – ok I’m not like COMPLETELY changed. My sense of humor is still about the same. :) which let’s be real – that is a HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF!!!!!

YAY!!!!!

You see, I LOVE to laugh and I think I’m funny. So the fact that I STILL think I’m funny?!?!! Wahoo!! :) :)

Anyway I’m only mentioning this because I’ve done moderately well at being “adjusted” despite my – umm – well – my life. I’ve tried to maintain a happy perspective, I’ve worked at being optimistic and I’ve NEVER taken the “why me?” attitude; though I have most certainly wondered about the purpose of life. But I’ve adjusted; I’ve adapted. I’m still here and most days I’m still laughing. :)

Up until recently I didn’t want to really admit… (continue reading on my new blog here.)

Or if you just want to stick with the light stuff …

Let me share with you my new favorite-est-est-est song!!! I’ve mentioned that my BF and I have a soundtrack of US. (you should read it the story – it’s cute) And this song makes it on the list. The lyrics ring true in my heart. I love J, and I WOULD carry him around even if he were an old school 50lb boombox, and I’d hold him on my shoulder wherever I walked, and turn his volume up in front of the cops, and crank it higher every time they told me to stop. hee hee ;) Yes – My heart’s a stereo.

Do men have hearts, feelings OR the ability to fall in love?

Here’s the one-sided conversation I had with my mother today. It WOULD have been TWO sided but she was still asleep. And WHY am I still awake?? PROLLY cuz my really cool neighbors are outside playing rockband with trashcans and sticks. I’m sorry but seriously – karaoke is NOT cool to hear at 1:30 am. And it’s ESPECIALLY not cool when you can hear the microphone make that whiney terrible rotten noise as it get too close to the speaker (how do they have speakers if they have to use garbage cans for DRUMS??) and if you can imagine it being EVEN WORSE THAN THIS well guess what?? The dude singing? Is out of tune. And kinda sounds like a creaky gate swinging on its rusty hinges. You know that sound? You know? It just kinda makes you want to shudder.

Ugh.

Anyway – back to the one sided convo – I’m good at these….

North Sydney got a similar email. And no – I’m not bitter AT ALL! nope nope nope – I’m in a FABULOUS mood. hmphf!!

Textual Misunderstandings – A Cryptic Post (heehee)

Posted on May 27, 2009 by Daisy

Somebody (I won’t say who but his code name is a #) said he pashed on the roof of one of Sydney’s ICONs (the one where people bellow like LAAAAAAAA or LALALALALALA in Italian and French and sometimes even English.) Catch my drift? YEP! Can we spell risky? (yay! I did! – spell it that is.) Dancing in elevators and pashing on icons gives this man a little bit of “Mmm I like your style.” Intriguing isn’t he?

Well for you Sydney siders (or those who aren’t) here is a link to LUMINOUS, a little thinga-ma-gig they’re doing where they make the Opera house different colors. TADA! (I grabbed a pic of it for you who are too lazy to check it out. )

I suggested to SOMEBODY that we check it out and he was all like, “That could be a bit dangerous” and I was like, “Who said anything about a repeat performance?” AND THEN WE HAD A TEXTUAL MISUNDERSTANDING!!!

Oh boy. [shake head]

You all know what I meant by that right? No? Was that cryptic? Was it written in American? Because I really tried to write it in NOT-regionally-dependent-English. AGH!

Here’s WHAT HE READ, “I’m not pashing with you again and I was performing/faking enjoying pashing last time.” wait a minute. Umm … ??? But didn’t I just say … wait WHHAAATTT???

Oh boy. [shake head and deep breath – hold it – keep holding – exhale)

And they say girls are hypersensitive and read too much into things?? Geez! He sent a text saying, “You were performing?”

WHHHAAAATTTT?????? So I sent a follow-up “No no. not at all! I meant u rumblin’ on the roof.”

OMGOSH! wowsers. The Texts of My Life. Sa-sa-sa-sa-soooooooo much fun. Or not.

Oh and then today N. Syd (who I talk to like EVERY SINGLE DAY) was like, “K so I’ll see you soon.” And then I was like, “Yeah except actually we don’t have anything planned – so when will that be?” and he was like, “I don’t know because I suggested a night but you already have plans with #3.” Umm …. WHHHAAAATTTT???? oh.my.gosh. Well if he wants to be all WHATEVER about it let me just remind the world that I SUGGESTED AN ALTERNATIVE NIGHT TO PLAY w/N. Syd and he said HE WAS FREE THAT NIGHT but refused to “pencil me in” because I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHY. But for.real. heaven forbid I already have plans on the ORIGINAL night he wanted to play. Grrr. 8o| jealousy? I don’t THINK so … but come on now – what’s up with that? (that emoticon makes me laugh btw – that’s why I use it.)

First Day on the job xTWO – a business ~date~? Strike canceled and DOSE DEUX of D’sD’s500lbPQ

Posted on May 1, 2009 by Daisy

First up – EIGHT HOURS of mind-numbing training for a purportedly sophisticated and elite company whose trainers may know less about their products than I do. yeah. And don’t get me started on my fellow trainees who lack very basic skills …

Next up – a little side work for a ~friend~? And NO – not like THAT. It was just some simple admin stuff. And then he took me to dinner and we talked for hours and then he took me home (and NO – not like THAT) and then he gave me a lingering kiss which I don’t want to read into … but also wouldn’t mind reading into. But probably shouldn’t – it’s complicated.

Got home and had this email waiting – don’t mind that my ENGLISH uni teacher SPELLED CANCELED WRONG!!! Dude for real? She’s an ENGLISH TEACHER!!!! Ever heard of SPELL CHECK??

Dear All,

Please note that the strike planned for next Tuesday has been cancelled. This means that classes will be on as usual next Tuesday.

I apologise for the inconvenience.

Best wishes and see you all next week.

Umm – wow. Alrighty then.

Dose Duex of Daisy’s Dad’s 500lb Pumpkin Quest

Day 4 - “Oh happy day. I saw a root starting to come out of a seed. A little more probing and I found 3 more seeds that had germinated.”

Day 5 – “Okay, I couldn’t wait. I transplanted one or two plants into their new home, a 1″ x 2″ pony pack (4 compartments per container.) Prodding of the soil tells me that many of the seeds have germinated. (What have I done? How will I find home for all of these sleeping giants?) ~No kidding dad! You planted ONE HUNDRED!!~ The first leaves are just starting to emerge from within the seed’s outer shell. It’s amazing how fast they are growing. Within a couple of days they will be ten times the size of the seed they once were. What will tomorrow bring?”

OMGOSH – what WILL tomorrow bring? If this keeps up I won’t be surprised if we hear next that my dad’s pumpkins have turned his house into the little shop of horrors and I’m going to have to fly home with an ax and save my parents from man-eating jack-o-lanterns. What you don’t think I’m tough enough to wield an ax to man-eating jack-o-lanterns? Think again doubty-pants. It’s called ADRENALINE. And I’m pretty sure I’d have a bit of it.

Nighty night! xoxo~Daisy

The Intellectualiz-ation of Emoticons

Posted on April 13, 2009 by Daisy

Ok ok – so sometimes I like to make up words. For example: “Intellectualiz-ation” – NOT a proper variation of the word “intellectualize” (hence the “-” in the middle of the word) but you know what? I like it despite the fact.

Ok on to the most IMPORTANT-est things for today – well for right now. I was flipping through my text book to waste time (I am an amazing time-waster ) and I found this:

EMOTICONS: NON-VERBAL SIGNS ON THE COMPUTER

And I was like, “Say whaaat? My textbook has a section on EMOTICONS??” THEN I was like, “omgosh – no way! I LOVE emoticons!” And THEN I decided that my textbook and I must have been fated to each other. And THEN I decided to read the whole 1.5 paragraphs on emoticons. And THEN I looked at the handy chart they put in my textbook. and NOW I’m wondering why I keep saying “and THEN.” ?? oh well.

So according to my book emoticons are really important. HAHA! I KNEW IT! When I created the tag, “Emoticons make me happy” ages ago I KNEW it was because emoticons are SO IMPORTANT-est-ish. You see, “Emoticons are a way of denoting emotion when communicating on the internet,” because “when communicating via the computer, we cannot hear voice inflection, nor can we see the funny, naughty or sad emotions of people’s faces.”

YES MY TEXTBOOK USED THE WORD NAUGHTY! heehee – LUV it!!

Please enjoy the “Emoticon Dictionary” from Mohan:
:-* = kiss
:-X = lips are sealed
:-| = indifferent
:’( = crying
0:-) = angel
:-> = biting sarcastic smile (lol – doesn’t look sarcastic to me!)
:-0 = Oh!
>;-> = devilsh wink

Oh my – HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And here are a couple extra fun ones for you. Your homework is to decide what THESE mean. haha! And yes – yes I DID put a dancing chewbacca, Mr. T, beyonce, ninja and zorro emoticon on my blog.
