Moved again!

Moved over to Wordpress. I'll keep this as an archive for my old Vox entries.

Come visit me! :D

pesky

I've had blogs at diary-x, blogger, wordpress, vox, livejounal, and now typepad. I need to figure out how to use this site. They are all just slightly different and take a little getting used to.

I'm back to work from having 3 days off. My fiance's job threw him a wedding shower on Friday and he wanted me to come along. It was pretty nice. Thought it was funny that they ordered the exact food (from the same restaurant) that will be catering our reception. At least we got to preview what we'll be having!

I've got a case of the blahs. Majorly. I seem to be in a funk. I'm still in wedding mode, but barely. I'm going through the motions of putting our photo collage together (that we'll hang up at the reception), but honestly, I don't care about it anymore.

I was bummed about my dress being train-less. I get sad and get a sick feeling to my stomach when I watch these Say Yes to the Dress type shows that have these women crying and saying, "This is the one! This is my dress!" when I cried for three days because I hated my dress. I guess I feel like I have to have some cathedral train when all it is is extra material dragging the floor. Seriously. I got myself worked up over not having material dragging the floor because I thought to myself, when will I ever get to wear a dress with a train again in my lifetime? I guess I won't know, because my dress is floor length - haha.

But whatever. Don't care.

Tired of fighting over money. Tired of hearing about how we can't do anything because of the 'pesky wedding.'

Honestly wishing it were over already.

QotD: My Favorite Apps

What are your favorite web or mobile apps? Which ones do you use everyday?

Sponsored by Yahoo!

 

I Heart Radio.

I have an aux hookup in my car, so I can plug my iPhone in and listen to it through my speakers. I listen to I Heart Radio talk shows like Lex & Terry and Elvis Duran. It has radio stations all over the country. I spend about 2 hours a day in my car, so it helps pass the time. Sometimes it buffers for a while, which can get annoying, but it usually works pretty well for me.

Pandora is a close second.

QotD: Who are you dying to see in concert?

Who are you dying to see in concert?

Ryan Adams. LOVE him. Saw him walking down the street. Didn't go to his show (which I could walk to from my office) because I had nobody to go with. Stupid reason to not do anything. I've learned my lesson.

 

Ryan Adams - Dear John

He even performed my favorite song that night.

so long.

For the couple of ya who read my blog, my time at Vox has come to an end.

I'm switching to a public blog, which I haven't made yet. Ha. But I've suckered my boyfriend into doing it along with me. I'm excited.

I've become a fan of blogs like nerdyjess, prior fat girl, and my girl danulai, all who have more public blogs, and I've decided to go that route. Of course, that means I may have to censor some of what I spill, but eh, I'm boring anyway.

When it's set up, I'll post the new URL here. I will also still comment on my 'hood.

Love ya guys!

in need of some art.

Please, if anyone reads this, send me a link to a pretty art piece that I could hang on my living room wall. I need some ideas.

My boyfriend does not like the dandelion motif I was dreaming of. He likes movie posters, but not for the livingroom. He doesn't like anything cutesy, like those owl drawings I liked too. I don't want anything too flowery (I like it - not so sure about him), and I don't know if he's into abstract stuff or not.

The walls are a medium shade of blue. There is nothing above our couch right now except a plain blue wall. I loved those wall decals like bliks, but he wants a picture or painting.

Help me, por favor. :D

Vox Hunt: Time Keeps on Ticking...

Show us your wristwatch. 

Watch

With the bangle bracelets my boyfriend bought me from the Hare Krishnas at the Palace of Gold gift shop. =)

And yes, I'm right-handed, but I wear my watch on my right hand. I've heard this is strange for a lot of people...

(Heh... realized I forgot to change my calendar too!)

QotD: New Business

If you were to open up a business of your own, what would it be?
Submitted by beth.

I joke about this to my boyfriend all the time. Well, half-joke, because I'd love to make it happen.

I want to open an 80s themed restaurant. Whenever we drive around and see buildings or lots for sale I tell him it would make a great location for our restaurant.

He cracked me up once when he said the old Circuit City would make a great location. And if we call our restaurant "Circuit City" we wouldn't even have to buy a new sign for the place. :P

I want to have TVs on the walls that play music videos from that time period. All the stuff from that decade on the walls like toys, movie posters, anything to do with that time period. And I'd make the waitstaff dress the part too.

I would have themed nights, like Duran Duran Night or Hair Metal Night or something.

And an extensive vegetarian menu. :D

Ha. I'd love to do it.

 

QotD: Named after one of the 50 states

If you had to be named after one of the 50 states, which would it be?

Virginia is a family name, but I've always liked Georgia. But I like it spelled Jorja like that one actress. I remember watching The Real World years ago and there was a girl named Montana on there. I thought that was really cool, but not now thanks to Hannah Montana. :P

Music QotD: First Concert

What was your first concert?

AC/DC with opening band Cinderella in Wheeling, West Virginia. I was 11.  About 6 months later I saw Bon Jovi and Skid Row in Detroit.

Thus began my love affair with live music. I'm guessing I've been to over 50 concerts since. I've been to 2 already this year (Bryan Adams and Fleetwood Mac) and I've got tickets to 5 more so far.

:D
