went to see Charlie's Angels Full Throttle tonight. Meredith's friend got free passes to a screening from his job, but he couldn't use them so Meredith invited me and Carrie and her boyfriend. the movie was a lot of fun. hell to get in though. for some reason the studio set up a security check at the door to the theater, so we got there at 7 but they didn't start the movie till 830 because it took forever to get people through the security check and into the theater. in fact, i guess they turned like 100 people away at 830 because they just wanted to start the movie. we got in though, so that's all that matters to me. ;) anyway, the movie was very unrealistic but extremely entertaining. totally makes you want to kick butt. i wanna be an angel when i grow up.

it was so nice to sit in the air conditioned theater for three hours. the movie was only like an hour and a half long, but i really didn't mind waiting for it to start. i don't have a/c here at the apartment. and i think i'm melting now that i'm back here. i think i'm the only fool who doesn't have an air conditioner. i really need one. i just want a small one for my bedroom so that i can sleep at night. this humidity is unbearable. i think i'm going to take a cool shower before i try and go to sleep. ugh. this sucks. i just checked the forecast and tomorrow is supposed to be hot and very humid again. but starting tomorrow night we're supposed to get a break in the humidity and the temperature is supposed to drop a bit... ugh. i hope that happens. it's heinous to be in my apartment in this weather.

so sleepy... must resolve to not only get 4 hours of sleep before going into work again... suck...

went home to wish my little brother a happy birthday on the day of his party. his birthday was actually on the 17th. i hung out with my dad for a little bit, watched star trek... then i went tanning (burnt between the girls again... dammit. it's all red and itchy...) and then i washed my car. i used my parents' old vaccum cleaner because it didn't cost me $1 to use it and because it has this tiny power head on it so i could really clean my floor mats. rock. then i used these special wipes to get all the bug carcasses off of the hood and mirrors (and later, after i drove the car in the summer night it was coated with bugs again. yuck.) i washed the car at the mobil across from salty's. after i was done washing it i was drying it off when this guy pulled up in front of the bay and shouted, "you're beautiful! i love you!" i looked down at myself: sweaty, shorts falling off, tank top stuck to me and riding up... i felt like i was all hanging out disgusting looking. he apparently thought different. i said, "thank you" and went back to drying my car. odd. after that i was so hot and i wanted ice cream. the country drive in was closed (9 is too early to close!) so Alex and I went to Jumpin' Jack's. and then drove around because the air coming through the windows and sunroof felt so nice. later on we ended up going to Denny's where we discovered they have tiny hamburgers. they are adorable. they're like regular burgers cut into quarters or something. but they look like they're own little individual tiny burgers. adorable. anyway. i didn't get home until 2 and then i couldn't not at least start Harry Potter, so i didn't get to sleep 'till 3. but i still got up on time this morning, so rock.

oh. my. god. this made me laugh so hard. and now i'm sitting here at work trying to look like i'm not goofing off and my face is all red and i have tears in my eyes and i keep having these little eruptions of aftershock giggles. the animation is just too great. so freaking funny.

I'm a pretty, pretty princess. i'm so very Charlotte from Sex and the City. well, i'm dressed like her today, anyway. i'm wearing a lavender twin set with white trim. it's a tube top with a bow in the front and a sweater. and i'm wearing it with my skirt from the gap that's khaki colored and very cute. and i've got my strappy brown sandals on. and i have my crystal cross necklace, crystal earrings, and a crystal toe ring (that's my favorite part). i love dressing up.

in other news... Carrie bought me the new Harry Potter book for my birthday. and she gave it to me today because she knew that making me wait until my birthday for it would be cruel. she handed it to me on the way into work this morning. i should have just stuck it in my car right away, but i carried it inside and now it's sitting next to me on my desk. and it's calling to me. it's saying, "ali, read me, do it. work is boring. i am not." damn the Harry Potter book. it's arguement is just infallible.

ok, so the plan was to get home and clean. was gonna clean the bathroom. was gonna clean the kitchen. was gonna put away assloads of laundry. was gonna clean the floors. but what i did do was get home and throw myself on the love seat in the living room. this is my favorite spot during the summer because the living room is shaded so it doesn't get too hot in there, and there are two huge windows that a very nice breeze comes in. so the loveseat is the coolest place in the apartment in the summer. i may end up sleeping there some nights. perhaps i should rearrange the living room so the sofa is in that spot and i can spread out... yeah.

so anyway. i took a nap from about 5:15 to about 6:50. then i made dinner (couscous) and ate. then at about 8 i decided to watch the ring. i hadn't seen it yet. everyone said it was so scary. i didn't really think so. ok, well, i cheated. i watched probably about a third of the movie on mute. yeah. i've watched south park and the real world since then, so i'm hoping i don't have any lingering images when i go to bed. i did do dishes. and i might put away some laundry...

it's hot and i hate being hot. i need an air conditioner. i don't really have an exterior window to put one in though... i wonder if it's ok to put one in my bedroom window if it vents into an enclosed porch... do air conditioners emit that much exhaust? maybe i just need to move to a place with central air... too bad i'm poor and i really can't afford to spend any more a month than i currently am... suck. (whining moment:) awww!!! hot!!! uncomfortable!!! dammit!!!

stupid little cat was just on the desk and falling and knocked a huge pile of papers off. little cat is stupid and annoying. she keeps me up at night by attacking my feet. and in the morning (and pretty much all the time) she's up in my shit. i have to constantly watch her. she's always getting into shit. constanly in the garbage can. i lit candles the other day and she kept sticking her nose in the candle. dumbass. i used to think i watned kids. but i can't handle a kitten. i can't imagine how i'd handle a kid....

yet again, another beautiful day. and i'm stuck inside at work. i can't work these hours. i need a more flexible job. or i need to be independently wealthy. my supervisor always tells me to marry for money. "you can always learn to love 'em."

i am ass poor. i hate being ass poor. i hate working. beh. (sorry. had a whining complaining moment, i'll stop now).

so i cannot wait to go home today and clean! (not really, but i'm trying to fool myself into being excited about it). when i came to on the bathroom floor after fainting on saturday (and after i realized where i was) all i could think was, "gross! i'm on my bathroom floor! i really need to clean this..." so that's the task for the afternoon. clean bathroom. clean kitchen. put away assloads of laundry. wash floors. of course, it's probably going to be hot and uncomfortable so i'll just end up sitting around.

i went swimming last night at dodi's house. it was fun, but very very cold. you got used to it once you got the girls in. i had to borrow a swim suit. all she had was a tankini. i was like, um, no. i don't need to be disgusting people. and she was like, dude, it's just us. so i tried it on, and i actually liked it. i did not look like a huge fat ass like i thought. and you could see the tattoo. i think the fact that i'm getting tan is helping the whole me in a swimsuit issue that i have. rock. tans rock.

work does not rock. but i better get back to it. sigh.

so beautiful outside. cannot wait to get out of here. i need to do laundry, but i'm going for a walk while my stuff's washing... i'm so restless in here today. i can't concentrate. i don't know where i want to be though. i mean, i feel like i'll be restless no matter where i am. like, i guess i think this week is going to suck and i'm irritated that i have to live through it...

so i was fine the rest of the weekend. i mean, healthwise. no more fainting. today i feel very odd. it seems that i need to eat every 2 hours or else i get a headache. so i ate at 10 (oatmeal) then i ate about 1230 (a lean cuisine) and now i suddenly feel weird. the headache went away but now i feel like my face is heavy. and i feel very weak. i almost feel like if i tried to do anything i might faint again. hmm. this better stop soon. i hate being damaged. also, i've decided to not write about this anymore because it's boring and no one wants to read you complaining.
