when you wanna be something the world can't define

[aftertherockets]

Important things to note today:

1. FRIDAY! PAYDAY! WOOOOOO!

2. Andrew Jackson had a big block of cheese, and thank you Leo McGarry for helping me to mildly kick ass at Trivial Pursuit last night. (We so would have won if *someone* hadn't gotten all tired and stuff. Pshaw. I really miss late night games of Trivial Pursuit from 1981). In honor, I watched 'The Crackpots and these Women' from S1 TWW when I got home, and I gotta say, that one would probably be pretty high up on my list of favorite episodes if it weren't for that whole "Gee golly gosh! Look at these here liberated womens!" thing at the end. :p

3. Apparently, according to Hillary Duff anyway, I grew up in the ghetto. I didn't think I could hate anyone related to that whole group of people more than the one twin who called us all white trash, but it seems that I can. Is she really that stupid?

4. I'm volunteering with Ashley at a local music festival tomorrow. Music, free food, sunshine, and (hopefully) cool people. Should be a good time.

5. I'm working tonight, and Sunday. Which kinda sucks, but whatever. I'm resigned to the fact that my manager hates me. It shouldn't last too much longer, anyway. Also, I just remembered, I have no idea what the store's hours are on July 4. I didn't request off, I hope I don't have to work. Eeeep!

6. I know I had something else to say this morning. Consider this a placeholder.

The odd thing is...Joel is actually from La Plata. Isn't La Plata "nicer" than Waldorf anyway? Morons. People are just morons. The house he grew up in is a whole lot nicer than most houses in PG!

So you have dabbled in some Trivial Pursuit? You and I really need to face off with my TP one day. Let alone...face off in Scrabble.

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

I think they lived in Waldorf, but they went to La Plata High School. I'm not too clear on the details. :p

We really do need to have a board game night, soon. I will so kick your ass. ;)

[roxyoi301.livejournal.com]

When we went to their house I remember my friend explaining it was just outside of Waldorf. I mean you could be right, and it was in a less suburbia area of Waldorf.

I think my mom put like all our board games up in Newport (I know that is where our Scrabble & Scattegories reside), but I'll see if she has any lurking still at their house.

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Hehehe. You went to their house? ;)

I have no idea where they lived. I just know that there are plenty of places in Waldorf that send you to La Plata HS. But it is quite possible that they lived in La Plata, it's only about four miles wide or something. :p

I'll make a long story short:
It was already after they had moved to Annapolis, and Trish's (I think you might have met her once, she works at Riordans) boyfriend was managing Acme, so him and Bengy had to go get crap from the twins house in Waldorf from their mom for a show at Acme that was going on, and Trish and I being the oh so helpful girlfriends were forced into going along for the ride. It kind of reminded me of Carroll County, out where they lived.

and I do remember stopping at a very clean McDonalds in a newish beige looking shopping center.

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

I would TOTALLY be up for some Trivial Pursuit soon.

[roxyoi301.livejournal.com]

I have the one that is like the "Last 25 Years" or something. Sam & I tried to play it like sophomore year of college, we sucked. But it is about time I tackle that game again :)

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

I'm sayin', we need to have a board game night when you and Racheal are here!

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

As long as there is no Monopoly, I am gold on that idea.

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Pictionary is fun. I'd be up for something like that. And if we can get a hold of a Scrabble or Scattegories or something, that'd be awesome, too.

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

I'm not a huge fan of Scrabble, but from what I remember, I loved Scattergories and Pictionary.

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

I know Racheal had that Pictionary we used to have in the apartment, I'll see if I can get her to bring it. Scattegories is fun, too, but I think I only used to have Scattegories, Jr., which was less fun, and also I don't know where it is.

We could always see if Ashley can find her copy of Claytionary. ;)

[roxyoi301.livejournal.com]

There is the Claytionary love!

I swear, this game existed!

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Did you ask your mom about it yet?

[roxyoi301.livejournal.com]

I keep forgetting. She's out of town right now. I can ask my sister to check when she goes back to my parents house tomorrow.

[roxyoi301.livejournal.com]

What? No love for Claytionary?

[jayel4192.livejournal.com]

Gotta ask: WTF is "Claytionary"?

[roxyoi301.livejournal.com]

Pictionary: You draw a picture, people guess what it is
"Claytionary": You make something out of clay, people guess what it is

Not the real name, I don't think. But that's what we call it.

[jayel4192.livejournal.com]

For a while I thouoght you had created a game based on the greatness that is Clay Aiken.

[jayel4192.livejournal.com]

Waldorf???? I mean, Dundalk I could understand. :P But Waldorf is ghetto??

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! Waldorf is just kind of...well, like any other crappy suburban town I've ever been to. :p I think she must be going by his songs all about his hard-knock life on the streets or something.

[jayel4192.livejournal.com]

Wait.... just a sec.... He's using Waldorf for street cred? Are you shitting me???

Sigh. When I take over the world, "rockers" are only allowed to come from big scary steel towns. Manchester, England comes to mind.

[grass-stained.livejournal.com]

I've always assumed you were very "street."

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Oh, you know me. I'm always out on the streets with my bitches and hoes.

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

You told me you'd never refer to me that way again!

*sob*

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Don't make me pull out my cane again, ho! I WILL CHOKE A BITCH!

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

Don't hurt me, Mistah Brady!

[roxyoi301.livejournal.com]

On a side note: A moon-a-bouncing we will go tomorrow...but I double triple dog dare you to get your face painted as Spiderman :)

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Moon bounce! And don't tempt me, woman. I will so become Spider-Man! :)

Andrew Jackson had a big block of cheese, and thank you Leo McGarry for helping me to mildly kick ass at Trivial Pursuit last night.

Ha ha, *great* TP question. :)

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Heh, I totally started screaming "Andrew Jackson had a big block of cheese!!!!" before my friend was even finished reading the question. :p

[mistakency.livejournal.com]

Is she really that stupid?

It's probably not that much of a stretch to say yes. Next time I drive to Maryland I'll board up my windows and sing "It's A Hard Knock Life" just for her. :P

that one would probably be pretty high up on my list of favorite episodes if it weren't for that whole "Gee golly gosh! Look at these here liberated womens!" thing at the end.

I KNOW. I love that episode, but I feel embarrassed to say I love all of it when that means being okay with the ending, which is ooky and off-putting. I hope Sorkin was just trying to express the views of the older generation. But even that is creepy.

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Heh. You know, Maryland's so ghetto, I'm surprised more people haven't already taken to doing that. :p

but I feel embarrassed to say I love all of it when that means being okay with the ending

I get embarrassed just watching it sometimes, you know? And I know that it was still early in the series and all, but it just feels so out of character. Especially Josh's whole "I want to be with my friends...and these women!" It's just hard to imagine Jed and Leo and Josh actually standing around and talking about that. :p I guess sometimes Sorkin's writing just goes to a weird place that I don't really understand.

[mistakency.livejournal.com]

Next week I'm going to show one of my good friends TWW (she hasn't seen it before), and I'm already thinking about what we're going to do when we get to that scene. It just makes me cringe all over, especially because it does comes early in the series and doesn't exactly leave the best impression. It needs a disclaimer at the end. I don't know what he was thinking! There were drugs involved! Don't look at me!

Especially Josh's whole "I want to be with my friends...and these women!"

Haaaaa. I can't even read that without wincing.

I guess sometimes Sorkin's writing just goes to a weird place that I don't really understand.

Sometimes I just stare at the screen and wonder if this can really be the same guy who created CJ. I love the show to death, but WTF.

[singingrl.livejournal.com]

Well, you have to remember that the girl lives on a steady diet of water and cocaine...and lack of discretion/judgment is one of those age-old symptoms of food depravation lol ;) Still, I didn't think I could dislike her more than I already did, but now it's like I'm thinking she could be that stupid lol :P

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

She must be. I can't figure out what else it could be. :p

[egosomnio.livejournal.com]

This really has little to do with anything, but I thought it might amuse you.
Really, the only connection is that it happened in Waldorf.
Overloaded car.

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, I remember when that happened. Good times. :) I used to eat at that IHOP all the time, too.

idontlikeyouinthatway....

[crushw-eyeliner.livejournal.com]

refutes HiDuff's "logic" (http://www.idontlikeyouinthatway.com/2006/06/hilary-duff-likes-her-ghetto-boyfriend.html)

It's in statements like these that really illustrate the age difference between them and the sheer naivete that girl has. Her mom sounds like a prize, too.

Re: idontlikeyouinthatway....

[evergleam83.livejournal.com]

It's still like that, too. From what I hear, she's retracted her statements, but still. Ridiculous, thy name is teenage celebrity.
