Hey New Bangs!

I got my hair cut today... its the same length on both sides, it's just tucked behind my ear.  But the bangs are all crazy slanty (or "asymmetrical" if you're my stylist) and I LOVESIT.  The true test will be what happens when I sleep on it though.

OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD!

I saw this the other day and died inside (in the ABSOLUTE best way possible).  

Yeah, yeah, Lost will be back in January (on my half birthday, if we want to get technical).  That's not what I'm beyond super stoked about... do you see who's right in the middle??? That's right, DESMOND!!! I was so scared that since they were off the island they were going to knock him back out of being a main character, and I just can't live with that!!! As I've said before, if they ever kill him, I'm out!  Best. Character. Ever.

Also, on an almost equally import note, the producers have said that Vincent will make it safe and sound through the end of the series.  Hooray! (Yeah, I get really excited when he pops up in episodes.  And yeah, I cried when they launched the raft and he chased it into the water trying to get to Walt.)

If you haven't seen this yet, you MUST watch it!  

While I still can't say I'm a fan (and probably never will), The Fray have found a loophole into my heart by forever linking themselves to the 2 shows I love the most, Scrubs and Lost.  Damn them!  And lets not lie, I teared up the first time I watched it (I am still not over Charlie's death and now Jin's(???) and I'm SUCH a girl about the Penny/Des situation).  

Wow, I just nerded out to the max!  

They're real! They're real!

This was originally what I was going to blog about, but I was sidetracked by how awesome I think I am.

Today I walked into the middle of a cute boy meeting!  I was almost starting to believe that they only existed in my head and in legends... it's not true, they're real and I saw it with my own eyes!!!  Like I told Beth, I think you can only find them when you're not looking though, you know, like unicorns and chupacabras.  It was glorious!  I can't even begin to imagine what they were talking about, but lets be honest, it doesn't even matter.  So to you nay sayers I say, believe... and one day you too may find yourself in the middle of a cute boy meeting!

And yes, Beth and Misty, I'm working on a trap to catch some to bring to you both.

And yes again, it kinda sucked cause I had to go to the bathroom, but I was not about to go in front of the gathering.

As you head to the polls

If you're still not sure who to vote for, think about this: who would Dave Grohl vote for?

Well, lets look at the facts:

-The Foo's released the following statement when the McCain camp decided to campaign using "My Hero" without consent: "This isn't the first time the McCain campaign has used a song without making any attempt to get approval or permission from the artist.  It's frustrating and infuriating that someone who claims to speak for the American people would repeatedly show such little respect for creativity and intellectual property.  The saddest thing about this is that 'My Hero' was written as a celebration of the common man and his extraordinary potential.  To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song.  We hope that the McCain campaign will do the right thing and stop using our song- and start asking artists' permission in general!

- Dave spent time campaigning for Kerry during the 2004 elections and it's pretty common knowledge that (at least part of) "In Your Honor" was inspired by the time he spent out campaigning.

- This occured as a response to the Bush campaign using "Times Like These" at rallies... again without artist permission.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Joyce, only idiots get their political information from celebrity endorsements."  I agree 100%.  Which is why I only use celebrity endorsements to decide what clothes, shoes, drinks, fast food, watches, perfumes, facial cleansers, make-up, cell phone carriers, and cars I should purchase. And its why you won't actually see an endorsement in the above... I can't actually claim that I know who the Grohlo is voting for, but I've got a hunch.  Perhaps you're wondering why I even bring up the preceding.  It's because Dave Grohl never makes a bad decision... can you think of any?  No, you can't.  Still not sure?

Exactly.  It doesn't get more American than that.  

But if you really feel like you need an endorsement to sway your vote, here you go... I'm voting for Barack Obama and encourage you to do the same.  I'm pretty smart (I just don't always live up to my full potential) and I'm only a celebrity in my own head.

And I promise, if the Democrats make it into the White House they won't send the homosexuals to take away your guns and Bibles for at least a couple of years... they'll be too busy fixing the economy, dealing with the climate/energy crisis, and working on universal health care. :)

Pumpkins!

Yesterday my friend Aaron actually convinced me to leave my house... and for Halloween and on a Friday no less!  But I didn't have to dress up (thank God, since every year I have a mild panic attack trying to figure out a costume, generally settling on staying in so that I don't have to make a decision), and my night consisted of sitting at his house... baby steps people.  

Anyway, we all carved pumpkins... I spent the first half of my night trying to figure out what I was going to carve into my pumpkin... and then the second half making it happen.  Per usual, I couldn't pick something simple that would only take a short amount of time, no no, that's too easy.  I finally settled on (with a lot of urging on the part of Aaron) my awesome picture... click here too see the original.  I ended up taking probably three times as long (at least) as everyone else to carve mine and I only sliced open one of my fingers!  I was pretty pleased with the result.  Neither of these pictures really show all of the detail, but photographing lit pumpkins is more difficult that I expected. 

My photo blogs have been lacking

So here are a few from the last few weeks... my friends rule!  And I miss them horribly!  These aren't in chronological order...

Matt came to help Misty move to LA:

And bought us shots of Jager, I will forever hate him for that.

I forgot how much exactly I missed him until he was here... I haven't laughed that much or had such fantastic dance parties since our tour ended.

I don't think I'll ever be able to explain this photo, but know it had something to do with lasers and probably explosions... no joke.

Misty and I decided to go out and do it up "old school" one night... by the end of the night I lost the ability to speak.  Like inside my head I realized that it wasn't going to work and didn't even try.  And I puked in the front yard... and probably the bathroom (not 100% sure).  Mission accomplished.  Misty has been involved in of 95% of the bad decisions I've made in my life (and vice versa), this one I blame all on her.  Oh, and I got quite possibly the most amazing fuck you/blow off from an ex ever that night... I probably would have high-fived him had it not been directed at me.

Britton came up for a couple days (to see Beth):
Misty told us to "do something awesome."  This picture almost was super lame, but I think we saved it at the last second. 

Beth is a creeper to the max(coming soon to a background near you)!  And I bore of things...

   
But I still love her... kinda?

This has nothing to do with anything, but I walked into my room the other day and found that I had the saddest puppies in the whole world... I almost felt bad until I remembered that they're neither abused nor neglected as they would lead you to believe. 

And last, Misty and I made Sparks floats.  It's probably one of the better ideas I've had.  I mean, if you like delicious things.  And yes, I drank it with my dolphin straw!
