‘Brina!

| Now Playing: The Lucky One by Taylor Swift |

Now it’s big black cars

And Rivera views

And you’re lover in the foyer

Doesn’t even know you

And your secrets land up

Splashed on the news front page

And they tell you that you’re lucky

But you’re so confused

‘Cause you don’t feel pretty

You just feel used

And all the young things

Like up to take your place

Another name goes up in lights

You wonder if you’ll make it out alive

And they’ll tell you now

You’re the lucky one

Yeah they’ll tell you now

You’re the lucky one

Can you tell me now

You’re the lucky one

Oh, oh, oh

_________________________________________________

So, so far, this week has been pretty ‘lax comparatively, and I’m thankful for that. After my last blog, it was my regularly scheduled day off, and I had plans. And by plans, I mean one plan, and by one plan, I mean getting my car inspected and getting an oil change. My appointment was for 10:30, so I got up shortly after my boyfriend left for work, showered, and headed over to that side of town. The dealership here was a lot different than the one back where I used to live. The entire service area is outside, in this building with dual garage doors on either side of it and you literally just drive your car in there. Once inside, they have computers and everything for you to sit at while you talk about what service you want. It was just weird because we were sort of in this makeshift garage crap and I was like what in the hell is this haha. But while I waited, and after sorting out that I wasn’t there to pay over 500 dollars for a service I thought was just simply an oil change and tire rotation, I used my down time to start getting caught up on Grey’s Anatomy. Let me tell you, Season 15 started with a bang, literally, and it was amazing to get caught up. Between the actual show itself, and all the commercials, but the time they rolled the ending Grey’s Anatomy title, one of the guys came to tell me that my car was ready. Also, I listened to the Red album for the first time this Red Season (Or for Allen, Scorpio Season) and a bitch was getting fucked up over The Lucky One for some reason. I’ve listened to it a few times throughout the week, so that’s why Taylor slithered up to the NP. But hey, a bitch ain’t complaining. 

Then my true dilemma began. I was literally right beside the place we go to get sushi, and I could have really gone for some. And it’s not that I was afraid of dining along or anything like that, I just knew that it would take like over an hour for me to get my food / finish eating everything, and I just wanted to eat and be done. So I did what any rational person who wanted sushi would do: I went to Taco Bell haha. It was on the way home and quick and easy, so it worked. Once I got back home, I finished getting caught up on Grey’s Anatomy in preparation for that night’s new episode, and watched the first episode of Season 3 of Riverdale, which is taking a really weird turn and it’s interesting. It seems like it’s getting a little close to Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina. 

Speaking of Sabrina, we started watching it this past weekend! The trailer was definitely accurate because it’s dark. They literally worship Satan, but Sabrina is defiant. It’s pretty damn good. Took a few episodes to get into it, but it’s definitely work the wait. 

Anyway, after getting all that caught up, we watched our usual Thursday night TV, but we ended up going to bed shortly after Will & Grace because we were tired haha. But we caught HTGAWM the following evening. And then we had people over to just hang out. We were gonna go out to like Kabana or something, but we stayed in, drank, ate pizza, and drank. Like, a lot. Like more than I care to put a number to on this blog haha. But we played Picolo with Kelly and Andrew and Careese and that was just a hoot and a holler. Then after Kelly and Andrew left, Careese joined us upstairs and we played some more Picolo and then we watched Halloweentown because we’re super cool like that. 

And because of how much I drank Friday night, I ended up calling out of work on Saturday. Mainly because I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, I was struggling to walk, so probably a good idea that I didn’t end up going to work haha. But it was nice having a chill day with my boyfriend. He wanted to go to this Brunswick stew and brew festival thing, but after having too much fun on Friday, we didn’t end up going. We did start Sabrina then, and then we proceeded to take a damn three hour nap because that’s who we are. We woke up just in time for dinner, and then we got our costumes together and got ready for Angie’s party. 

Angie’s party was alright, but at first I was like 👀 because it was sort of slow starting and there were some other people there that were questionable at best, but after we got rained out and had to come inside, it got better. Of course, we tried to play Picolo, and it was a massive fail because I think people were just too drunk to really play which is a shame because it’s a lot of fun. Then we played 5 Second Rule or whatever that we played at Angie’s last time as well as a decently fun game called Stuff Happens. It was a good time but some people were just way too far gone to focus on any of the games haha. Then the next day all we did was chill, but we finally finished Mystery Incorporated! Ugh I can’t tell you how good that damn series of Scooby Doo is, it’s literally the best. It ended so perfectly too, just as my boyfriend had told me, and just go watch it. Then we watched some more Sabrina, made our Hogwarts Alumni shirts for Kelly’s Halloween party this weekend, and watched more Sabrina haha. We’re getting through it by now. Then we watched Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge, super awesome. And I’ve been reading more of my book, The Long Way Down. I basically watch demons with Sabrina and then read about more demons in it before bed. It’s been a nice little night cap to ease me into sleep lately. 

Work has been just that, work. But we’ve got this visiting assistant from Ashland named Stephanie that’s really been helping me out a lot. She’s literally been telling me things I had absolutely no idea about as far as apparel goes and what we’re supposed to be doing and everything. But I’m finally FINALLY understanding, aka, asking Stephanie, what I’m supposed to be doing as far as like when I first come in and everything. But for the most part, it’s just been same old, same old. The only real difference is the fact that I’ve been taking only 30 minute lunches this week, as well as staying ten minutes over, so I have overtime to kill and can leave early Friday for our trip to Salem / Blacksburg this weekend. And since I called out Saturday, I’m working tomorrow to make up for it as far as my 40 hours and everything. 

I can’t explain how damn excited I am to get away for the weekend. There’s so much to look forward too this weekend, even though our plans have semi changed because our Airbnb doesn’t allow guests over, but we’re working on that. We were gonna have everyone over (everyone here meaning Ceara, Destiny, and West) but like I said, we’re trying to work around that. But I’m so damn excited to see Ceara and Destiny. I don’t really have any super close friends here, aside from ones introduced to me through my boyfriend, so it’ll be nice to sort of reconnect with them. Even though I’ve literally talked to them about every single day through text haha. It’ll just be nice to actually see them. But yeah, hopefully I can see some people from the store and everything on Saturday when I stop in, and I’m excited to get to see my grandparents after leaving so that’ll be amazing. And I’m super excited to just be alone with my boyfriend. Not that we don’t have our own space here or anything, it’ll just be nice to be the only ones in the house. I’ve been feeling random waves of, I don’t even know how to describe it, nothing like bad or anything as far as our relationship goes but just sort of distance? Which makes no sense and I feel like it’s all in my head and everything. I’m just looking forward to sort of getting closer to him this weekend without any sort of distraction is all.

Tonight, or rather in a few short hours, we have yet another Halloween party to attend, so I’m looking forward to drinking, I mean going, to that. Today at work, I was literally the only person to even remotely dress up. I wore my Hufflepuff sweater that Allen and I made over the weekend. I didn’t even get any compliments, except online, but I’ll take what I can get. We’re wearing these to Katie’s party tonight, and they’re the same ones we’re wearing this weekend so we’re doing it up. Today I got us some wands to go with our outfits that we sell at work. I got Ron’s, and he got a Death Eater’s, and since he’s in Slytherin, it’s fitting haha. Happy Halloween!

Until next time,

Does Your Computer Have A Modem?

| Now Playing: Spell On You by Chester Lockhart|

I put a spell on you

Because you’re mine

You better stop the things you do

I’d lie

You know you did me wrong

You played me for a fool

You said you loved me baby

But none of it was true

I put a spell on you

Because you’re mine

I put a spell on you

Because you’re mine

You can’t stop the things I do

Don’t even try

There’s no escaping

No place to hide

Scream all you want daddy

You’re mine tonight

I put a spell on you

Because you’re mine

You’re mine

You’re mine

_______________________________________________________________

Can we take a second and just appreciate the fact that Chester Lockhart is releasing new music and consistently fucks me up with it? Literally if I were to get the chance to make my own music, it would sound like his. Or I would just need to hire him to be my producer because his beats and production are literally my aesthetic as hell. And the fact that he responded to my Instagram message about how much I love said production is just another reason why I love him. Ugh, go check out his music, it’s literally incredible. Also, the title of this blog comes from this video Allen showed me today of like kids from the 90s in an informational video taking about how great the new thing called the internet was. And this one girl kept saying the title over and over and we were getting a kick out of it haha. 

Anyway, now that that’s out of the way, this weekend was really fun. Friday was a decent day at work, it flew by for the most part and then after work, we were just chilling and getting ready for the pumpkin carving that was going to take place later in the evening. And that ended up being a lot of fun. Kelly and Andrew came over and we drank some wine, carved some pumpkins, and just chatted and had a nice time outside carving. My spider pumpkin turned out pretty decent for hand drawing it and using a cut out for reference. Here’s a picture of our pumpkins!

In order, it goes his mom’s, mine, Kelly’s, my boyfriend’s, and Andrews. I really like how my spider turned out, even if it didn’t turn out how I was initially intending haha. But honestly, the fact that Kelly got done with hers first and it looks so good, pissed. She literally did that in like five minutes or something, crazy. 

Work has been fine I suppose. I don’t mind the work at all, I’m just never really sure exactly what I should be doing on a daily basis, like as far as routine goes or anything. Which is fine, I just always feel like I should be doing something else, running freight, something. But maybe that’s just how apparel works here at this store. But every time I do try to take initiative and go above and beyond by doing something, I can’t execute it because of equipment. That’s been my biggest strife here, is not having the equipment to do my job correctly. Otherwise, work has been fine. It sucks getting up at 5:45 every morning, but it makes it worth it to get off at 3:30 every day. Today was a pretty great day at work, mainly because all the other apparel DMs, and most of them throughout the rest of the store, were off today, so I was able to sort of do what I wanted. And I got a lot of work done, so it was a chill day but also fairly productive. 

This weekend, we didn’t do much since we were taking this weekend to be our chill weekend before all the Halloween parties come up and we leave for Blacksburg. We watched some movies, namely The Lake House (which was so damn good ugh) and Two Weeks Notice, both of which star Sandra Bullock and I just love her, she’s incredible. We’ve also started watching more of Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated because were fairly close to being done with the show and were itching to get to the other side of it. It’s just seriously the best iteration of Scooby Doo, so damn good. I really wish I could buy it, but 100 dollars, Apple, really? We did film a video together for my channel, a Q&A, so that was fun. 

Thank God, I’m off tomorrow, I’m fucking ready. Even though I have to go get my car inspected and serviced, but hopefully that won’t take too long. The plan is to catch up on Riverdale and hopefully, Grey’s, if I have enough time. I hope so because I am jonesing to catch up on both. Speaking of, this is my last blog before the premiere of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and ya girl is HYPED. Hopefully it’s really good because at this point, I’ve built it up in my head so much that I don’t wanna be disappointed. But the creator of Riverdale is behind it, and Netflix, so fingers crossed!

Until next time,

I Don’t Know Her

| Now Playing: Nostalgia by The Band Perry |

Nostalgia

Confuses the things I want, yeah

It’s like a broke piece of my armor

Hoping all the time, time, time, time

In time

I stopped it there in a dime

When I’m butchering you like a punch line

I do it all the time, time, time, time

My memories

They always get the best of me

Can I erase my history?

Go back in time, time, time

Nostalgia

Come back, I still want ya

I’ve been thinking about the whole thing

All the time, time, time, time

Nostalgia

I should pick up my phone and just stalk ya

It’s all just so confusing

All the time, time, time, time

Amnesia

Don’t forget I need ya

You’re my favorite creature

For all time, time, time

Nostalgia

I, I, I still want ya

I’ve been thinking about our own thing

All the time, time, time, time

Nostalgia

I should pick up my phone and just stalk ya

It’s all just so confusing

All the time, time, time, time

_________________________________________________

What a start to the week, I guess? So Thursday ended up being a truly frustrating day at work. Without getting into it too much, what happened was my assistant manager second guessed and disrespected me in front of my face, behind my back. But you know, it’s whatever. Friday is my last day at this store, and I can truly put the past two work months behind me. I’m so glad to be getting away from the place that’s treated me so poorly since I’ve arrived. I’m really hoping that the new store is a good fit and treats me a hell of a lot better. 

And then when I got off work? Well, everything was fine. We cooked dinner for everyone and that was great because who doesn’t love spaghetti? But then at around 8:30, with the crazy wind and rain from the latest tropical storm / hurricane named Michael, the power went out. And it didn’t look like it was coming back on anytime soon. So my boyfriend and I took our books downstairs to read and to be with everyone and we just hung out really, listening for the storm because they’d issued a tornado warning so we were being cautious. It didn’t come back in during the night, and I was left to get ready for my last day at this store by my phone’s flashlight haha.

I started reading a book this past week. Like, besides the fan fiction book I had printed, an actual book haha. The book is The Long Way Down by Craig Schaefer and so far, it’s really good. I’ve been hankering to read Harry Potter lately, but this has magic and mystiques well so, for the time being, it’s satisfying that craving. I need to start bringing it to work, just in case I get the urge to read, but so far I haven’t remembered. Speaking of work, my last day at my first store here in Richmond went well, went by pretty fast. The only bad thing that happened was this cat lady customer that just made it really really difficult, but whatever, IM FREE NOW. And it feels so good. I can’t tell you the amount of weight that’s been lifted off my lungs just for the simple fact of being out of that store. It’s so weird that the store’s energy is so depleting on a person, but it really is. Being at the new store is definitely not like that. 

Speaking of, my first day was Saturday and wow, what a difference. I came in and everyone was so nice and greeting me and welcoming, literally the exact opposite of what I experienced at the Bell Creek store and I’m just really glad to feel appreciated and welcomed by the people here at Brook Road so far. I didn’t do all that much Saturday in my opinion and honestly, they could have just let me have the day off, but it’s whatever. All I did was zone and try to memorize my area and where everything is now. But it was good, really good, and the vibes I get from this store are really good ones, so I think this is all going to work out in the end. 

After work though, we had a little bit of time before we headed to Ashland Berry Farm, where they were having a scare event sort of thing. They had four attractions, all pretty much spooky houses to walk through, that kind of thing. But of course, first we enjoyed the Beer Garden and even though it was slightly expensive, the beer was really good and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t even like beer. I forget the name of the brewery that was there, but they had this blueberry ale beer that was so damn good, I think I had three of just that kind. And it wasn’t just us, my boyfriend’s cousin and his cousin’s girlfriend were there with us, our second time hanging out with them again since Cooper’s Hawk, and it was a pretty good time. After drinking some, we decided to do this biggest attraction first, the woods. They lead you out on a hay ride and then drop you off in the woods. I honestly thought it was going to be more like, they dropped us off in the middle of the woods and that was it, we had to make our own way back or something truly messed up like that, but this was just like a lighted walk through a cornfield and then a series of houses that you go through that just happen to be in the middle of the woods. And don’t get me wrong, it was fun, but there were two things: One, I really had to pee, and I mean, really. And two, I didn’t jump or get scared not once. The real horror? Them not telling people that they need to crouch so that their heads don’t scrap the top of their constructed slopes in the houses. I ended up leading us at one point, I still don’t really know how that happened, but that was fine since I think I was the least effected by everything. The only thing that I was like oh this is scary about was the times where it was bitch black and you couldn’t see in front of you for anything. But all in all, it was a fun time. After the woods excursion, we went back to the Beer Garden, especially good timing too because they were about to announce last call and our tickets would have gone to waste and them shits were a hefty fee. After that, my boyfriend wanted to do this gyrosphere thing where they suit you into it and you spin around and around or whatever while his cousin and cousin’s girlfriend went to get food. Then we sat down and talked while they ate, I saw this girl wearing Taylor Swift rep merch, and then they decided to dip. We stayed to do at least one more attraction, that way, our money didn’t go to waste, and we did the Red Balloon Inn one, and it was alright, more slopes and things like that but hey, at least here I didn’t bump my head over and over again. Did I mention that I did all of this in rolled up sleeves and shorts? It was cooler that night, but I didn’t even start getting cold until the very end of the night. I was probably one of a handful of people who didn’t have a jacket and wore shorts. But I’m just a freak of nature like that. 

Sunday was a nice chill day. For whatever reason, I don’t remember that much of it. I know we watched movies, we started Wonder Woman, but stopped it to watch the reboot of Charmed and girl. It’s a fucking mess. The pacing was awful, the storylines are rushed as hell, and it’s just not good. I went into it with an open mind, and it just continually made me angrier and angrier. If you enjoy the original, perfect Charmed, don’t watch the reboot. I wish it was good too because of the more diverse cast and LGBT storyline, but the core of the story is just not executed well. Whaaaps. We also watched What Happened To Monday which, of course, I had already seen but it’s so good, I really wanted Allen to watch it. 

My next couple of days of work at the new store have gone really well. I’ve been introduced in both morning meetings on Monday and Tuesday. And I’m slowly getting into the swing of things at work. Still good vibes, still in good spirits, I’m just not sure exactly what I should be doing all the time. Honestly what I’ve been focusing on is the cleaning up of the mess that was given to me, so I haven’t done anything in the more technical and managerial side of things, but I’m sure that will come with time. Wednesday was my last working day before my scheduled day off, which apparently is going to be Thursdays now, and it was a good day, just busy. My plan was to do one thing and then management had me doing all this other crap, go figure. And then I finally pulled together all my Q&A stuff from people who watch my videos and my boyfriend and I filmed that after dinner, and then I didn’t post this blog because drinking happened and yuhp. BUT just a day late so better late than never.

He ended up staying home and playing hooky with me for the day, so we ended up changing our weekend plans to today plans. We went out for sushi because I’ve literally been bothering him so much about getting sushi and that was amazing as usual. And then we went to see A Star Is Born, and I’m conflicted. The music was incredible, and Lady Gaga was absolutely breathtaking in the movie. But the pacing was really weird. Like it would start a scene and then it would flip to another scene entirely and then flip again so it like never found its grounding but with certain moments in the beginning and then the last half of the movie. It was good, but unfortunately not as good as I was expecting for it to be. But the music sort of saves it, in a way. 

So now we have Saturday opened up plan wise, even though I’m working, and Friday we’re going to be doing some family pumpkin carving and I think the newly engaged Kelly and Andrew are going to be joining us, so that should be a hoot and a holler. Then next weekend, we have a Halloween party at his mom’s friends house and then the weekend after that, it’s back to Blacksburg and my neck of the woods for another Halloween party and to see everyone back there. So our social calendar is booked haha. I’m looking forward though to some chill times this weekend. Maybe we can keep watching Mystery Incorporated and almost finish it. Oh, and the title of this blog comes from this damn video I saw the other day haha. I think it’s from the game Tomadachi Life where you have Miis or wherever and they can sing. I don’t know, they ended up being vines or whatever. But someone made a song called I Don’t Know Her and it’s Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj singing together and we keep talking about it and singing it non-stop so look it up if you want to be ruined haha. Also, bitch, the song in the NP is a fucking bop and I’ve been OBSESSED. The Band Perry is taking the Taylor route by leaving country behind and saying hello to dark pop and I am in full damn support. 

Until next time,

Fred & Daphne Solve A Mystery

| Now Playing: Breathin by Ariana Grande |

Some days

Things just take

Way too much of my energy

I look up and the whole room spinning

You take

My cares away

I can so over complicate

People tell me to medicate

Feel my blood running

Swear the sky’s falling

How do I know if this shit’s fabricated?

Time goes by and I

Can’t control my mind

Don’t know what else to try

But you tell me every time

Just keep

Breathin and breathin and breathin and breathin

And oh I gotta keep

Keep on breathin

Just keep

Breathin and breathin and breathin and breathin

And oh I gotta keep

Keep on breathin

_________________________________________________

What a fairly eventful week it’s been since the last blog. I’m pleased to say that I’ve FINALLY listened to Ariana’s new album and while the song in the NP is the absolute clear stand out, the rest of the album, to me, is just kinda meh? I’m super bummed about it, but I sort of expected it. When Dangerous Woman came out, I was floored because it was the album I had been waiting for from here and it delivered so hard, and I was worried about the follow up not being as strong for me. And alas, here we are. But breathin is a damn gem, and I’ve been singing it a lot the past couple days. Along with The Greatest Show from Greatest Showman because we finally finished the movie all the way through this past week, and fuck, those last thirty seconds UGH. So damn good. 

My boyfriend and I have been on this kick lately where we just end up watching movies either we haven’t seen or one of us hasn’t seen and it’s been really relaxing. We both finally got to see A Wrinkle In Time and, despite the amazing cast, and our massive desire to adopt the little boy playing Charles Wallace, the movie was kind of a let down. Not because the subject matter or acting was bad, just I feel like everything wasn’t really explained well enough, so it kind of didn’t have any sort of pay off in the end because it’s like... okay sure, happy ending, but I’m still stuck on how all of this even happened. It’s just messy and I wanted so bad to love it but it’s a miss from me. Sorry Disney. We also watched Coraline, which I had never seen before, and that was actually really good. Again, sort of curious as to the whole explaining part of things, but it was at least better, in my opinion, than A Wrinkle In Time. 

And because earlier in the week I had agreed to stay after just a little bit in exchange for having my schedule changed, I got both days of the weekend off, which was such a wonderful blessing, especially considering the fact that I start at my new store this coming Saturday, so it was nice to have this one weekend free of work commitments. So after getting to sleep in Saturday morning, we got up, had some Chick Fil A (which I’ll admit is so damn good despite some of the company’s moral standings) and then we finished the final touches on the painting of our shoes that we had started Friday night. Our shoes actually ended up amazing, and it was super exciting to see the spray paint plan actually work in our favor.  Here’s a picture of us as Daphne and Fred!

Then we get to the party. Of course, we get their first like the punctual gays that we are, and Chelsea starts explaining a game that we’re all gonna participate in that will win a prize just like the best costume prize. She gave us, and the guests who came after us, two necklaces, and there were three words we couldn’t say throughout the night: costume, shots, and party. And if anyone catches anyone saying one of these three words, you can call them out on it and steal one of their necklaces. Person with the most necklaces at the end of the night wins a prize. It was actually a really fun game, and a lot harder than everyone thought it would be. But we started with some Jell-O shots that Chelsea had made and started drinking and catching up and everything. And then everyone started to arrive. We got to meet some of Chelsea’s other friends, and all of them were pretty chill and fun. 

One of them, Krista, had this game on her phone called Picolo which was basically like a phone based version of Kings, so we played that and it was actually a ton of fun, highly recommend. Anyway, everyone’s getting to know each other and we’re all having a good time. Then it comes to voting for best costume, and we lost by one point! And even though the person who won definitely had a great outfit, it was store bought, just saying, but I’m not bitter or anything...

People started to leave around 1 or so, and we were still playing Picolo because everyone was enjoying it so much, people are feeling lit. Then things took a turn for the worst when one of Chelsea’s friends got a little too drunk and insisted on driving himself home. Well no one there wanted him to hurt himself or anyone else so we told him to get an Uber and everything went downhill from there. To make a long story short, the cops were called and I think his parents came too and he ended up getting home alright. It was a really weird and hostile situation, just because he was so belligerent, but it was weirdly bonding I guess between the ones who stayed back to make sure everything worked out alright. The only downside to this was by the time we got home, it was 6am. As in the sun was on its way up. And we had to brush out the hair color from our hair, and take showers to get it all out, so we were up until almost 8am, and it was a lot. But we at least got a few hours of sleep, woke up around 2, and we both had headaches. Luckily the entire day was pretty much a recovery day. We had plans to go see A Star Is Born, but we were just too worse for the wear, and there wasn’t enough time in the day for us to really go. But hopefully we can see it soon because I really want to see it. 

Then work started back up and ugh. At least I did get confirmation officially that I’m starting at the other store Saturday no matter what, so I’ve been totally looking forward to that, but this work week has been so aggravating. I’m so tired of being tethered to the register, of being the person that does the most work (my department manager said this to me, so I’m not just hyping myself up, just saying) and I’m just sick of the people to be honest. There’s literally not a single person back there that doesn’t get in my nerves a little bit. Maybe that says more about me than them, but I digress. Why can’t they all be like the only pseudo friend I have here and be named Crystal? I haven’t seen much of her lately, but I did see her Monday I think and told her I was leaving. I need to try and track her down to exchange numbers or something because she’s good people. 

On to more happier things, my boyfriend is finally getting a new car officially, so bye bye rental car and honestly, I’m gonna miss that red Murango. But he’s getting a red version of his car that they totaled, so that’ll be great when he gets it Saturday. And speaking of happier things, Taylor Swift opened the AMAs last night and bitch. I am shook. It was so fucking good, I did a reaction to it, and bitch annihilated everyone. Not only did she speak out about voting, and how she voted (#MikeHuckabeeIsOverParty) but she transcended the Heavens with last nights performance. And she became the most awarded artist in AMA history after her four wins last night, so bye Kanye, you’re cancelled. 

I haven’t been sleeping that great, and he hasn’t been feeling that well, so the plan for the rest of the week is to just chill and wait until the weekend really. Riverdale comes back on tonight and I’m super excited. PLUS, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend comes back on Friday, so we’re booked this week for TV. Here’s to relaxing. Oh, I don’t know if I mentioned it or not, but the first place that I sent my book to passed on it. Whaaaps. 

Until next time,

Go Ahead And Light. Me. Up...

| Now Playing: I Did Something Bad (Live) by Taylor Swift |

They’re burning all the witches

Even if you aren’t one

They got their pitchforks and proof

Don’t need their reasons

Because they’re burning all the witches

Even if you aren’t one

So light me up, light me up, light me up

Oh, oh, light me up

Oh, oh, light me up

Light me up, light me up, light me up

Go ahead and light...

Me...

Up...

Oh they said I did something bad

Then why’s it feel so good?

They said I did something bad

Then why’s it feels so good, good?

Most fun I ever had

And I’d do it over and over and over again if I could

It just felt so good

Surprise, bitch! I bet you didn’t think I’d post another blog so soon. (Insert the new Madison Montgomery gif)

So not a whole lot has changed since the last blog, but I’m trying to make Wednesday’s a regular post day again, like back in ye olde blogging days, so here goes? Since the last blog, I’ve started work with an actual schedule for the first time since I moved to Lawn & Garden. Only the schedule is actually crap, but whatever. I worked Saturday and I was scheduled Sunday but a bitch shouldn’t have to work both data of the weekend, not even counting the fact that I had them block me on Sundays so I couldn’t be scheduled, but ya know. So on Sunday, I was a little worried that I was going to be pointed as a no call no show, but, knock on wood, as of my time writing this on Wednesday, I still haven’t been pointed so I’m hoping I’m in the clear. But I’m going to keep an eye on it just in case.

Sunday my boyfriend and I had brunch with our friends Kelly and Andrew at this really interesting place called District 5. Mainly the reason we went there was because they had a brunch buffet and pitchers of mimosas, so basically the haven of brunches haha. Anyway, it was really good, aside from the weird mustache club bullshit that they seemed to be hosting on the same day, so that was just sort of jarring, but the food was really good. And they had a pumpkin cider from the same people that made the pineapple cider from the arcade bar we went to. It was legit fall in a glass, and we tried to hunt some down after brunch, but to no avail. And then we had a pretty laid back Sunday. 

I finally saw Logan on Monday night. We watched it after dinner and while I really liked it, it was a little meh in regards to the whole X-Men type of movie. I liked the storyline and everything, it just seemed really final. I know they’re going to continue to do those damn prequel movies until I end up hating X-Men (and I’m too much a sucker for Dark Phoenix to NOT see the Jean Grey soon-offs) but it was a good movie. Then we watched, or rather finally finished The Greatest Showman last night after having to leave the theater to make our dinner reservations way back on Valentine’s Day haha. And bitch the past thirty seconds of that movie fucking hit you and honestly how dare them but also great job haha. Another thing we’ve been watching is The Mind Of Jake Paul, Shane Dawson’s latest series and it’s pretty fascinating. I’ve always wanted to understand what makes someone like “evil” and intentionally dangerous so I totally connect with Shane on wanting to explore that further. Part 4 comes out today and since Shane’s been getting so much backlash, he announced he’s tired of it and spilling the real tea in today’s episode and a bitch is ready willing and able, Cain and Abel, bitch. So hype. 

Another episode of HTGAWM comes on this week and then new season of Will & Grace this week too. Oh, and I was off Monday so I started getting caught up on Grey’s Anatomy, and I’m hooked again. It’s amazing that a show like Grey’s, that’s had to change so much from shedding its cast so often, can keep me interested and still make me cry like nothing ever changed at all haha. And I got to do some writing Monday which was lovely, I needed it. Still waiting to hear back from any potential literary agencies, so it’s still the waiting game on that one for several more weeks. And you know we caught the first airing of Hocus Pocus on Monday night because we stan Thackery Binx. 

We’ve got some Halloween parties coming up, so we’ve been dealing with that. Chelsea’s is this weekend and we’re going as Fred and Daphne from Scooby-Doo, so finding those items has been fun, even if Kohl’s only had a 36 dollar bow tie that was orange. Thank God for Amazon for having an orange tie being delivered in time for the party. Kelly’s party is the 26th and we’re making a weekend of heading back up to Blacksburg so that should be fun.

OH AND THEN BITCH. You thought I forgot. So Tuesday morning, Taylor Alison Swift decided to fuck us all up and announce that she’s opening up for the AMA’s next Tuesday and she’s performing I DID SOMETHING BAD. Like she’s actually going to say the words “If a man talks shit then I owe him nothing” to a room full of her peers like wowwwwww. I’m so fucking excited for that because it’s possibly a hint that it’s going to be the next single and I’ve been very vocal about how bad I want / need that to happen. I mean, I know I’ve said it in about every video and multiple blogs but bitch I need a Salem Witch Trials video as much as I need functioning lungs. It would be so damn good and so damn perfect like please Taylor PLEASE. Ugh, such a good thing to bless this week. And that’s why I Did Something Bad is in the NP, but specifically the tour version because fucking imagine if she annihilates her peers and us with the rep tour version YAS I NEED IT. Also, I’m super stoked for October because we’re about to be blessed with so many good TV shows. Riverdale comes back this month, Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina (aka CHAOS) premieres this month on Netflix, and doesn’t Stranger Things 3 happen this month too? Bitch I am ready as hell, let’s fucking goooo. So here’s a toast to more regular updates here every Wednesday Addams, because I just really need to check in with myself more often. 

Until next time,
