Nowadays I always find out about important things on facebook. This kind of drives me nuts. My cousin posted a status on facebook about how her world has just been turned upside down and she doesn’t know what to do. So I text her asap to make sure she’s ok. She tells me she thinks her boyfriend is cheating on her and she kicked him out.
Now my cousin is the nicest girl ever! She doesn’t get mad and when she does it’s more like “I’m upset right now” while me on the other hand I’m like “I will cut you!”. Ok I’m not that bad, but you get my point. She is also not a jealous paranoid person so when she says her boyfriend is cheating, I believe her.
He is an idiot. He will never do better than her. I’m not just saying this to be nice. My cousin is cute, nice, funny, she cooks, she cleans, she works and has supported her dumb ass boyfriend when he wasn’t working. She is way more attractive than dumb ass.
I’ve never been a big fan of his. I was nice to him but it was for my cousin’s sake. He has no motivation in life, he will live in Waltham forever with no consistent job.
My cousin is coming over tonight and I’ll get the whole story then. I’m proud of her for kicking him out. She’s too nice sometimes and needs to put her foot down. I’ve told her before that sometimes it’s ok to be a bitch. Like in this situation. BE A BITCH! Because if you don’t I’ll have to do it for you. And I will.
You don’t mess with family.

I’ve never wanted a driveway more in my life. Moving in Boston or any major city is no fun. You pray that there’s room somewhere on the street, unload your stuff as fast as possible onto the sidewalk, move your truck a few times to make room for cars.
And it was in the 90s yesterday. And Bosco pooped in the cat carrier on the way to the new place. That was a fun cleanup. He also keeps coming out from secret hiding places covered in dust and I’m like where are you coming from! I have a mobile duster it seems.
The cable guy came today so I have internet and “basic cable”. Basic cable is really just the normal channels. Looks like I’m going to be stuck watch Vampire Diaries all the time because I think that’s the only show that’s on. No more Mad Men which makes me quite sad. But hey, the cable guy was cute and friendly.
I have today off to unpack and try to get things organized and do some laundry. Good thing I hoard quarters.
Pictures to come once I actually have everything organized. I’m living in an old building in Boston (most are) so it’s got character and my kitchen is a really fun color.
So far living on my own is pretty great.

Rasputin is one creepy dude! I mean can you drink a beer when the bottle is giving you the evil eye? I’m not a fan of this marketing.

Jade Puget’s (guitarist for AFI) blog is pretty awesome. I wish he posted more because he really slips some funny stuff in there.
Halfway through the set I noticed this guy with long blonde hair and shades rocking out front and center, in between the barrier and the stage, which I thought was odd because not only did he have a Clash shirt on, but security wasn’t booting him. Then I realized it was Billie Joe wearing a wig and it made much more sense.
and..
Luckily they had a copy of my favorite magazine in my hotel room, Garden & Gun. I really don’t feel safe wandering around a garden without fire power.
Along with the marital watering can I now can add a copy of Garden & Gun to my brother’s wedding gift.
Do you guys follow any of your favorite musicians blogs?

I was in quite a mood this morning. So much so that I actually yelled out “fuck this day!” And then I thought, well that’s a bit dramatic.
Here’s what happened:
First of all it’s day 3 of hard rain. I’m waiting for the Ark to float down my street any minute now. I’m running late because I can’t seem to get my act together. Clean clothes still in dryer, suddenly I notice the out of control eyebrows and Bosco wants me to pick him up and carry him around the house. Oh you won’t do that human? Cool I’ll just scratch some furniture UNTIL YOU NOTICE ME!!
Every day I bring my medicine with me to work. I take it after I eat breakfast. I put what I need in a little prescription bottle and take it with me.
Since I was running late and it was raining pretty hard I decided to drive to the T. I was halfway there when I realized I never put the bottle in my bag. I had to go back and get it.
I run into the house grab the bottle off the counter and get back in the car soaking wet. It’s then I notice that I grabbed the wrong bottle. It’s at this point that I yell out “Fuck this day!!!!!”
I drove into work because I was running late which I hate to do because parking in the city is insane! I could probably buy an organ off the black market for what they charge to park.
But it’s behind me now. I’m dry, work is slow today, the weekend is suppose to be good. Let’s forget that I have an appointment with the lady parts doctor tomorrow and try to recover the rest of the week.

This weekend was Charles IV’s 29th birthday so we had two celebrations for C-4.
The first was an outing on Boylston Street. We just went from bar to bar forcing drinks on Charlie. Birthday shot? Yes. A drink with whiskey in it while in Whiskey’s? Completely necessary of course.
Darryl was talking to this older guy near a wall and Melissa and I thought this was hilarious so we had her cousin’s girlfriend pose as if I was taking a picture of her but really I was taking a picture of Darryl and random dude.
And Ben stated that he doesn’t do pictures but I did manage to get one.
Sort of…..
And this picture is just because my hair looks good in it.
We also had a birthday dinner for C-4 on Sunday night. Mel S. gave Charlie a Justin Bieber magazine. I casually mentioned that Justin Bieber might have a problem when he gets older because his voice will change. Charlie said that he has a voice coach that is helping him deal with his voice change. Um, how on earth does Charlie know this? Clearly he is a fan.
And then we get in to stranger conversation territory:
Jess: (to Charlie) if you don’t have a baby by the time your 45 you should adopt, there needs to be a Charles V!
Ben: Charles if you don’t have a kid by then I will knock you up.
Charlie: What?
Ben: I will take one for the team.
Me: At least your baby will have good hair.
Charlie: We do have good hair don’t we?
And this is why these are my friends.

I was going to post about my Wednesday night yesterday but the thought of doing anything made me want to die. Let’s just say I discovered a new bar complete with jukebox and a claw machine full or porn (no I didn’t attempt to play it) and that I paid for my alcohol comsumption dearly yesterday.
So on to the formspring questions:
Describe your perfect date, both in what you would do, and the man you would want to do it with.
My perfect date is usually dinner and drinks. You get to talk and a drink or two calms the nerves. As for the man I’d want to do it with: funny, talkative, smart, confident, flirtatious (with me not with the waitress) and above all do not be a jackass to me or to other people.
What do you find personally to be the most annoy trait in people?
Cockiness. There is being confident and then there’s being an asshat. We all get how awesome you are because you must try to show us all the time! You are the man or the wo-man clearly.
If you could buy anything in the world what would it be and why? Only one thing though!
A beautiful house with a hot man included. I would love to have a lovey house with room for family and friends to stay over and visit and of course the hot man for my arm candy. House would also include a vineyard perhaps and a pool?
Thanks for your questions. If you have any more you can use the box on the right or click here.
Have a great weekend!

I recently found out that pineapples don’t grow on trees. This may not seem like a big deal but it is! How could I not know this? I always thought that pineapples grew on a tree like coconuts and you had to shimmy up the trunk and cut down the pineapples. I was very wrong. They grow from a bush near the ground.
I asked co-worker L if she knew this.
“Did you know that pineapples don’t grow on trees?”
“Oh yeah, I do know that.”
“Wait really? You knew that?”
“Well when I use to play farmville and I harvested my pineapple they weren’t on trees.”
“Really…. farmville gave you this knowledge?”
So I guess farmville is good for something. I’m still not playing it.
I really shouldn’t write posts when I can’t sleep because this is what comes out. My lack of fruit knowledge and farmville crap.

And there’s an engagement photo shoot up on facebook complete with photos on a swing, walking down train tracks and holding a watering can watering something together. That’s what married people do right? Water plants with one watering can together?
Guess what their wedding gift is going to be. A lovely watering can.
Ok I need to be a nice sister.
Would it be bitchy of me when they visit next month to casually mention how February 5th is not a good wedding date when the grooms friends and family are flying out of Boston? It’s like you’re just asking for a giant snowstorm. It’s pretty much going to happen now.
Ok I think Monday is putting me in a cranky mood. I got stuck standing next to a guy who smelled like pee on the T and then some older creepy man winked at me. Lovely.
Good thing I have cheetos.

Last night my brother texted me and today the news was announced via facebook. My brother is engaged. My 2.5 years younger than me brother. Of course I said congratulations but I have good reason to be wary.
My family has not met her yet. I’ve talked with her on the phone and we’re facebook friends but I don’t really know her. She is also recently divorced. Really recently. I’m talking ink is not even dry yet. They are both really young. She is 22 (with one divorce under her belt) and he is 23. Marrying that young is usually not a good idea.
Maybe I’m being cynical. I do work for a divorce attorney. I think I’m just being practical. I’ve always been the practical sibling while my brother is a little more throw caution to the wind.
How will the rest of the family handle the news? I don’t even know if my mother knows they are “officially” engaged. I should probably find out about that.
It seems like only yesterday we were playing with ninja turtles and playing “imaginary Christmas”.
