Myspace Shmyspace

So, I got Facebook in 2004.  I got Myspace in 2005.  I met Chris because of Myspace in 2006.  Since 2006, Myspace hasn't really given me anything else and what they do offer isn't nearly as fun as Facebook.  The only reason I even kept my Myspace is because it has the beginning of my love story in the inbox and I have been too lazy to send it to Word.  So over the last couple of months, I have noticed a lot of my friends have deleted their Myspace accounts and those who haven't rarely use it.  I decided this weekend that I was done.  I spent hours this weekend sending my messages to and from Chris to Word and formatted it (and very prettily I might add).  Then today, I took the leap.  I closed my Myspace account.  I felt immediately free and a little less devoted to the internet.  Upon doing this (ironically) I immediately updated my Facebook status.  It appears I have started a movement.  Now other static Myspace "users" have deleted their accounts as well.  Sorry Tom.

OMG I Freakin Met DAVID COOK!

Okay, so on my Myspace it says "People you'd like to meet" and I have two folks on there:  Barack Obama and David Cook.  Well, I got 1 of the 2 last night.  Sam and I got to the DC show at the HOB, got front row (and the prime spot at that).  During the show I held up a post it that said "Silver" (my fav song from a previous album) and he kinda gave me the "I don't think so" look.  During the show, he was so close that I touched his shoe!! (SWOON!!!).  After the show, I got a set list (sweeeeeeet!) and we went out back by the tour buses.  We didn't have much faith that David would come out (he didn't last time), but OMG, he DID!  We were one of the first people he got to and I got to have a whole convo with him.  I didn't say anything embarassing (i.e. Joey McIntyre -- "I have your naked Barbie doll"..argh).  Here's how it went:
Me:  Can I have a hug since you didn't play "Silver"?
Big, Long, Cashmere Sweater Full-On HUG!!!
David: (something like) We're going to try to get it on the next album
Me:  Analog Heart (the previous album) is the best album ever
David: (something like) What about our current CD?
(True story, not nearly as good as Analog Heart)
Me:  Well, I work out to Analog Heart everyday
David: (something like) Really, I didn't really think it was work out material
Me: Well, there's a lot of angst on it
David:  (something like) Yeah there is
Me:  OH!  My big goal is to beat your 5k time  (side note: it's like 28 min)
David: (something like) Well it shouldn't be too hard
Me:  Well I've run quite a few, even got 3rd place, but all I can manage to get so far is 32 min
....Then he was gone

Oh what a fabulous time!!!! YAY!

Hi. My name is Stephanie and I have a problem...

..It's called Monopoly (World:  Here and Now) on Pogo.  For approximately 3 hours everyday for the past two weeks I have spent glued to this computer playing Monopoly on a site called Pogo with people around the world for free.  I have yet to win a round (I was really close one time, but my computer froze and kicked me out) and usually I'm last, but I can't stop playing it.  Each round takes about an hour and a half and afterwards I feel used and guilty.  I'm starting to feel like I am a Monopoholic.

1000 Ways (Not) To Propose

My poor boyfriend.  He got stuck with an uber neurotic, anxious, semi-paranoid girlfriend.  Late in 2008, I started grinding it into his head that 2009 was my year for an engagement.  I think soon he took the hint and we went looking for rings a couple of months ago.  Now look, there are less than 2 months left in 2009 and Stephanie still has no engagement ring :(.  It's very sad.  Here's what's even more sad (and also a little disturbing)....Everywhere we go, at all times of everyday, I expect a ring.  I mean yesterday we went to the freakin mailbox and I thought, "Wow, I bet when we open it, there will be a ring box in there."  But yeah, no ring.  So guys, if you're looking for a way to propose, you should call me.  I can think of a way to propose for every minute of the day...Here are some of my new faves:  1) Get a magician to do a magic trick and when he finishes the trick, voila!, there's your ring...2) Get up in the morning to use the bathroom and come back to cuddle with your sweetie, with a ringbox in hand...3) Have all of her very best friends come in for the weekend as a surprise and when she walks in the door after work on Friday, SURPRISE, engagement and engagement party.  and last 4) Attach the ring around your fat ass cat's neck and wait til he goes and sees Mommy      Oh, I could do this all day...and probably will. 

First Blog Ever...

Okay, so here's the deal. Apparently people like to stalk me on Facebook and think my updates are funny. So, as long as people are reading my blog, I will blog. But beware, if you piss me off..you'll be in here. Also, if you make me really happy, you'll be in here. My life is an open book in the real world and probably will be on here as well...poor poor Christopher...so here we go...
