Take Five...

My Dad is OBSESSED with Jazz music-well, music in general. He always has been. The funny thing is, he can't carry a tune in a bucket. It's one of my favorite things about him. He loves music SO much, but he has no rhythm either. Anyway, the song 'Take Five' on a jazz CD I have reminds me of him, so this post is dedicated to him and his unmusicality. 

I'm at work ahora. Been here since 5:45am. It's unreal how obnoxious 5:45am can be when you're sleepy. I usually want to cry/throw up whenever I have to work on Thursdays, but I've gotten really good at going to bed early the night before which makes the shift SO much more bearable. 

Spring Break is a funny thing. EVERYONE does the same thing. Nothing. Everything. Beach. Friends. Sleep. Travel. I mean honestly, did any of you do anything other that that? Didn't think so. And that's fine...the funny part is, we all come back and that's all we talk about for the next week. As if it were something exciting...Don't get me wrong. I want to hear all about your Spring Break, just know that I've already heard it 78 times. Hahaha, is that rude? Nahh. 

"I've been rapping for about 17 years, okay? I don't like my stuff anymore, I just kick it from my head. You know what I'm saying...I can do that. No disrespect but that's how I am."

- Seventeen Years, Ratatat. 

Speaking of, whenever I talk about that band people always ask me "Wow, how do you spell that?"--seriously, without fail. It's silly, though because then I have to say...r-a-t-a-t-at. "Wait...how many 'at' 's is that?!"

So does anyone want to tell me how to subscribe to someone else's posts? Does anyone know? Can you do that? I'd like to. Ok...peace out.

Rockin' the Suburbs...

Ooooh Deer Park.

It's tiny. NO ONE lives here. Well, actually most of my friends from high school were on Spring Break last week, and so it's super boring. Needless to say 'I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go'. Haha, I'm actually all dressed up with about 11 Lost episodes to watch. And my sister just got back from California, so she'll be entertaining me shortly. Until then, I have her little puppy...Murfee, to play with. This place is insufferable. Hahahaha. It's insufferability is exhausting. That probably explains how I can go to bed early and wake up late and still feel tired in the least.

At least I have my bike here! I might go explore this tiny little city tomorrow on my bike.

Also, I'm off to Tyler tomorrow to visit my sister at school, and some friends from summer camp. That'll be fun for 2 days.

Has anyone ever been to Fredericksburg? It's this small German town and it's quite adorable. There were a lot of tourists there when I drove through it on my way to San Antonio. I want to stop there sometime.

Speaking of San Antiono, one of my best friends lives there and I got to visit her this weekend! It was our friend, Stuart's birthday (I guess I can say 'our friend'. I only him because Leslie lives in SA, but...I mean, we are friends.) Anyway, it was a lot of fun. We mainly sat around playing games, but they're more creative and hilarious than you would imagine. Hopefully, we can play these games together one day. Then, I got to go to her huge, wonderful church on Sunday. She's an intern there and it was interesting to be around junior high/high schoolers again...they're smaller than I remember. Stuart talked about Daniel...it reminded me of one of my favorite Veggie Tales songs...

"We could use him as a chessboard or a table to play scrabble on, and tie him up and beat him up and throw him out of Babylon."

Classic.

This was random and boring, but quite a perfect example of my life at the moment. So, if you're bored to tears by this...have sympathy. Call me. If you're in Deer Park or not, cause I'm probably doing nothing.

Much love.

Me.

Ratatat

It's so early in the morning, I can't sleep. That's why I created this blog, I don't really know if anyone will read it...

I haven't been able to sleep a lot lately. I think it might have something to do with the coffee I drank at...10:30, I should refrain in the future. 

I was watching a terrible movie tonight. The main character used the word 'insufferable'--to not be able to suffer someone or something. That's much more obvious than I thought the meaning was, and I find it kind of funny. I'm going to try and use it more often. 

Everyone used to have blogs like this before myspace/facebook...they've taken over these days, though. I prefer the blog now that I think about it. It's much more up my alley...I've just got all these thoughts bouncing around all day in my head. Irrelevant most of the time, but still fun to write down. 

Spring Break starts tomorrow...I can't wait to see my family. And relax. And see friends...I never go to go home and see them. 

Ratatat is a band I've recently discovered. Most of their music doesn't have lyrics, which makes it great for my Choreography class. *I'm a dance minor...party. My Choreography professor won't let us use songs with lyrics, but Ratatat manages to still have personality. I like 'Seventeen Years' and 'El Pico'. Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out.

I think I'm going to fiddle around with my layout now...we'll see how all of this works out. 

Buenos noches hombres...much love.

Me. (Maggie Elizabeth)
