Hello, my name is Jenga Jenny and I seem to keep picking the wrong puzzle piece for me. Whether you are a frequent friend or a visitor just stopping in, I’m glad you’ve found your way here and know you will never wear out your welcome.

Sit back, have a sip of tea (or your alcoholic beverage of choice) and read on.

good times

Yesterday was ridiculous and so random. My goodness do I love random because it seems that the random times are just the absolute best adventures! Tonight: good tunes in the city (played by the band AliCat is in), our friend CK was able to come out and there was dancing! Wonderful, swing your arms, rock your hips dancing to some funky tunes. I needed a night like tonight. Thakn you, randomness :)

That's not even the most random part of the day though. That morning was ridiculously random! Last weekend Mo and I were going to go watch the local NHL team's practice. As you may recall, I have had a silly crush on one of them. Sadly, the day my friend was off that week, they were already on the road for pre-season games. So, we decided to go out this week ... only while I'm on my way to Mo's, she texts me that they're not practicing in local that day. Ut oh, it's a game day! Oh well, I keep driving, according to her friend (who works for them), they're in Philly and he said to just come over. So, we head off to Philly to the Wachovia Center.

We get there ... and the doors are locked. Several employees we ran into outside didn't even know they were practicing there and Mo couldn't even get a hold of her friend who told us to come over & come in. Ahh! It all seemed so embarrassing, disappointing and, well, what a waste of a morning!

We find one more person to talk to, who gets someone else, who was actually aware of the practice going on ... but he says it's closed to the public. Pretty much: "Game day, sorry your friend told you to come, but when they're here, no public allowed." :( Mo says her friend's name when the guy asks us again who told us we could just come in and when she told him, the guy went, "Oh. Oh, {Mo's friend name}. Follow me," calls her friend and says to him, "Yea, there are these two girls here to see you. I'm going to bring them in and put them right behind the box." Right behind the box?! You mean where all the guys are?! And no one else is in there?!! Excuse me while I die since I don't look nearly as good as I could if I thought we were gonna have this kind of morning. Damn, damn, damn.

We head inside and the whole place is empty ... empty except for me, Mo and the players on the ice practicing. Oh my goodness! Mo goes: "They're all staring!!" I didn't know what else to say: "Uh, yea! Two ladies just walked in when no one is supposed to be here!!!"

Her friend comes out (cute) and we're talking to him. Not even 5 minutes after he's out there, out walks Mr. Good-looking in sweats and watching the ice. Oh my goodness. I don't know how I didn't die on the spot. Too much for me to handle. All the disappointment earlier, then all this - the empty center, us, the ice, the guys and him. Oh geez. Just stand there and look gorgeous, I'm ok with that. I can handle that, right? lol

This all led to ridiculous silly conversations that night too, of course, with Mo.

What a day, what a day. Need to rush out the door now though ... heading out to go camping this weekend - yay! :)

oh crushes

One of the guys AliCat befriended during college is adorable. Adorable! Once the stars collided and we made out, kissed and – I stopped it. My drunkenness had me babbling that AliCat is my friend, my best friend, and I didn’t know what she’d think of us making out. I should have kept on with the direction that was heading instead of stopping him, damn it.

Anyway, that kissing night was like two or three years ago and I haven't really seen him since. Tonight really was unexpected ... he lives so damn far away (stupid North Jersey) that I don’t expect to see him around here much – even for his best friend’s house warming party. But he was there and I got to see him this afternoon! It was nice to see him ... even if he does apparently have a gf now (boo!/lucky girl!!).

Later, of course, AliCat teased me that I liked him and I said, “Totally. He’s just so ridiculously hot and you love him (they’re like best friends), so he’s got to be a first class guy”

It's only in hindsight and after I stopped the kissing that night that I found out AliCat would have been all for that - all for, what she said, two of the best people she knows getting together. She's so cute and sweet! :) Oh and a funny side conversation came up tonight while we were talking (after she teased me about liking him):
AliCat: yea but he lives in north jerz. that's too far anyways
me: i was in central for awhile and his gf is in Boston lol
AliCat: yea. i don't know. i couldn't do that haha
me: lol I know, I like sex too much ... but it could work lol
AT THE SAME TIME SHE SENT
AliCat: i like sex too much to have that distance ~ lol weird!
me: if it's worth it, you make it work ~ LOL LOL
AliCat: i was typin that same thing
me: lol and too funny ~ oh well, I'll wish them the best ... and if it doesn't work, that I run into him then lol
AliCat: totally

I think it’s just too, too funny that we typed our one distance issue at the same time and that it was the same thing. Oh geez! :)

Wish I’d kept kissing him that night. Wish I saw him more. Wish he lived closer. Hell, I’d settle for him just being single now lol I’ve dated a guy from a distance :) I made that work and I wasn't half as interested in him as I have been for so long with AliCat's friend.

Seeing him today, geez, I’m barely talking because I was just thinking: "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Do you remember kissing or were you too drunk?" “Come stand by me.” “Say something (this isn’t just directed to him, but at myself too lol)” “Kiss me again, please" "Any time, any place, let's get back to where we were that night” lol “Pull me aside and kiss me. I'd be completely ok with that.” I do much better putting myself out there kissing than I do having to express myself with words lol And my oh my I'd like to do so much more than kiss him, like strip off his clothes and just run my hands all over him and such... :)

Ahh, ::sigh:: I like that haiku and its appropriate. This one too:
“It’s always better
to fall asleep hand in hand.
Reach out for me now.”

Yea, reach out for me. I'd love curling up with you at night, I'm sure.

PS- Some of the weirdest things come up when you search for a image relating to "T" lol

run away


I want to run away and I think this view and bed might be able to fix me a bit.

And I wonder how far it'll take me to run away -Pink

09/09/09

09/09/09 has come and gone.

At least it was a pretty productive day, I guess...
- I got my foster kitten out of my room and into the hallway so she'll become more adjusted to a house.
- I cleaned up where she had been in my room - kittens are a mess! She had torn up paper and toys all over the place.
- I took my dad in the truck to the dump to get rid of our trash & recyclables ... and this was done without any yelling - that's a really big deal when dealing with his disease and that task.
- Went over to my aunts' to let out the dogs and none of them attempted to eat dirt or ignore me when it was time to go back in the house In fact, I also got a super cute photo of the one as well
- Did a load of laundry
- Had a super nice dinner and coffee with an old friend
- I got mostly caught up with Tumblr stuff (I am determined ti figure out music!!) and...
- I'm almost finished Dead and Gone (yay Ch 10)

Now, I just need a good day with a job. I need a job desperately!

**SPOILER ALERT**
"Then I am high-handed," Eric said with no shame whatsoever. "I'm also very..." He dipped his head and kissed me slowly, leisurely.

"Horny," I said.

"Exactly," he said, and kissed me again. "I've worked with my new masters. I've shored up my authority. I can have my own life now. It's time I claim what is mine."

Wedding Silliness

So, my beautiful, beautiful friends, Perfect Couple, got married recently! The actual ceremony was beautiful and short - yay! Sorry, but true - a long, drawn out ceremony where you can barely hear anything and maybe have bad seats is just awful. A complaint from Perfect Couple's ceremony is hard to even pin down. I guess, the sun got in my eyes at one point, but I had my sunglasses lol so reall - no complaints at all :)

Another great part of their wedding was that the reception was at the same place where the ceremony had been held outside. So, we all just walked inside! And the best part? Prepare yourself for this... there was a photo booth!!!! Too fun! It took 6 photos, 3 you kept and 3 were cut off and put into a little photo album you could sign for the couple. Recently, Perfect Couple got a CD with all the photos taken in the photo booth that night. Too funny!

And the final story I would like to just completely forget, but to my horror, a photo captured the exact moment my mind shut down and my body was going on, I guess, sheer gut reaction. The scene: a beautiful reception with the lovely bride standing in front of all her single lady friends and family. The bouquet is tossed and the "normal" ladies jump in happiness, anticipation and competition to catch it. I guess I'm not that normal...


That's right: the bouquet came flying in my direction ... and I ducked in fear(?)! LOL I can't explain it and Kris caught the bouquet instead - good for her. Apparently I'm not prepared to be next in line to be married yet (good thing, since I almost didn't find a date to this wedding)

::sigh:: Oh well, maybe I'll be ready next time :)
