- You share your birthday with Jess.
- Finding Jess on Christmas morning is believed to bring good luck.
- If you don't get out of bed on the same side you got in, you will have Jess for the rest of the day.
- Contrary to popular belief, Jess is not successful at sobering up a drunk person, and in many cases she may actually increase the adverse effects of alcohol.
- Jess can taste with her feet!
- Influenza got its name because people believed the disease was caused by the evil "influence" of Jess!
- Jess once came third in a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest.
- Americans discard enough Jess to rebuild their entire commercial air fleet every 3 months.
- Jess can squeeze her entire body through a hole the size of her beak.
- Two grams of Jess provide enough energy to power a television for over twenty-three hours.
- Duckybaby can clean her ears with her tongue, which is over thirty-nine inches long!
- It takes a lobster approximately 7 years to grow to be duckybaby.
- The eye of an ostrich is bigger than duckybaby.
- It takes 17 muscles to smile, and 43 to frown at duckybaby.
- If you break duckybaby, you will get seven years of bad luck.
- Twenty-eight percent of Microsoft's employees are duckybaby.
- If you drop duckybaby from the top of the Empire State Building, she will be falling fast enough to kill before reaching the ground.
- Duckybabyicide is the killing of duckybaby.
- Duckybaby has four noses.
- Humans have 46 chromosomes, peas have 14, and duckybaby has 7.
this was so awesome and made me laugh so hard that i had to do it twice. and why do i have less chromosomes than a pea? that hardly seems fair. someone else do this i want to see what you get, because i am not enough of a loser to just sit here and type in names over and over and again to let the hilarity continue. no, i refuse! |

NICK JUST MADE MY DAY
i am sick and this morning i woke up and all i wanted was a blueberry bagel toasted with butter from dunkin donuts. he left at like 6:20, got me a bagel, and brought it back for me THEN left for work. nicholas, i love you and you sure do know the way to a girl's heart.
oh, and, my grandmother just had a hand in making my day as well, because she sent me an email that said this (among other things):
"Hope you love your new apartment. If you want the antique pitcher and bowl set, let Mary know. (It includes a chamber pot!)"
i really love that my grandmother is excited about a chamber pot. i love that lady |

i am very happy right now!
because i got my ring back from kaye's, and it's beautiful and shiny and it makes me remember the day that i got it. and i'm relieved because i am a stupid person and automatically starting fearing the worst situations that could happen while my ring was being sent out to get fixed.. i.e. it getting lost and me having to yell at the ditzy salespeople at kayes when they tried to explain that to me. i'm glad it didn't happen because i am simply not in the mood to destroy anyone today!
and i'm happy because i put up all of my pictures of strangers in the hallway! almost all of them. i'll take a picture later because i do believe it makes me giddy
and and and! i framed two sets of my mom's ollllld school pictures ( not like old school like old school, yo! but um, her old class pictures. you know) and hung those up, on my wall of strangers who i know very well. i made sure to put the picture of mom when she was very young next to my grandmother when she was very young because even though my mom will never see it THEY ARE TWINS. my family has problems identifying that any of us look remotely, anything alike. anyways.. these pictures - they make me very happy.
aaaaaaaaand i got some hangers for my shadowboxes that i filled with all my favorite shells and hung those up! they make the bathroom just a bit more beautiful :)
i can't stop staring at my ring, it is so shiny. so now i'm going to go continue to listen to the beatles and annoy the neighbors by pounding on the wall with my trusty hammer. |

k so, it's time for me to write down a list of all the times i've tried to get my hair done and failed, because it's REALLY starting to piss me off!
wednesday 1/1: had appointment, went in, sat down for like ten minutes and then finally someone told me the woman who was doing my hair had called in sick and they had put me with someone else without telling me. i said that's not what i wanted and then the girl i was talking to wandered away because someone else had a question. i waited a minute thinking she was going to come back and help me reschedule, but instead she just walked back, looked at me and wandered off again. i waited another minute, then the guy who i think is the manager came in and i talked to him. we rescheduled for thursday
thursday 1/2: we got in a car accident the day before, so i was sore as hell and was not in the mood to get my hair done. i rescheduled it for what i thought was the next tuesday.
tuesday 1/7: drive to the place at 9am, when my appointment was supposed to be. NOT A SOUL IN SIGHT. i am the first set of tire tracks through the snow in their parking lot, and there is not a single light on. um. right. i wait a few minutes, look around, drive away, wait a few more minutes, then try to give them a call to confirm that's when my appointment actually was. after calling 5 times, someone finally picked up and told me that i had been scheduled for NEXT tuesday. oh, right, of course. fuck you.
8:40 am this morning: phone rings, i pick it up. she called in sick again. i told them i'm going to have to call them back and reschedule since i have no idea what my schedule is going to be like at work for the next week or so.
FUCK YOUUUUUUUUU, SARAH JEANNE'S! seriously. i am BEYOND annoyed at this point, because i have gone through WAY more bullshit than i have ever had to just to get my stupid hair done. but, the only reason i haven't given up entirely on this whole thing is because she did SO good on my hair the first time she did it, it was amazing. this is really stupid. |

mood:  annoyed music: regina spektor is singing in my head

it is now 10:55pm, which is approximately 55 minutes past when i was planning on being asleep, since i was planning on getting up at 5:30am with nicholas. instead my brain has unexpectedly announced that, no, we will be WIDE awake. yes that sounds like a much better plan. so here i am, sitting on the computer when i would really like to be sleeping and i'm sure nick can hear my typing and i'm sure it's very annoying because i push the keys very hard and fast. and tomorrow i had everything all planned out! being tired off my ass is really going to ruin going to the gym at like 7am, going to get my hair done at 9. and then doing.. something? until i go to work for my first night at the fishery at 5 (even though it's not open yet, it's just a private party with some of chris's friends aka i'm going to be paid for not doing a whole lot i think) you know, it's kind of ironic that i don't know how to write the possessive form of a name that ends in S considering most of the time i call myself jess. jess's. i know that's not right and you're supposed to write jess' but that just NEVER looked right to me. so i usually write "jessica's" or.. um.. "mine". there's no getting around it with chris though
so anyways
i'm wide awake
and working valentine's night. is it lame that i am kind of dissapointed that valentine's day isn't that romantic? i kind of don't care but i think my heart might?
i'm really into question marks, and i'm very moody and i'm even confusing myself today. geesh. |

is there a such thing as being overwhelemed by a plague of AWESOME THINGS? no? well. lots of crazy things have been happening to me lately and i take them as a sign of whatever the opposite of the apocalypse is. because a giant flock of ducks in auburn, the most beautiful night sky i've ever seen, and a double yolker egg just CAN'T be a sign of anything bad! seriously.
alright, first things first.
a week or so ago i was driving home and the sky was that CRAZY orangey color that it seems to be turning an awful lot and it was so beautiful i couldn't believe it. i was driving home and i thought to myself "i am happiest when the sky looks like a maxfield parrish painting". and it's true. it truly did look like that too.. the sky was vibrant blue, and the sun was casting gold onto everything.. the clouds were puffy and thick and they all seemed to have a bit of gold to them too... but i couldn't get a good picture of it till i got home, because i forgot my camera (a bad habit of mine lately.. whatever happened to having a camera at all times??). so by the time i was there the beautiousness was almost gone. but
( it was still pretty enough for a picture )
and after that! sometime last week my sister and i went down to pejepscot to visit my mom and my grandfather and we decided to go to an antique shop as well. one of my favorite things to do is to buy photos from this antique store.. because she just has boxes and boxes of them. i've only been once, and that was a while ago, but i bought a bunch then.. and they're some of my favorite things. because.. to me, it just seems like the saddest thing in the world to get rid of family photos.. or photos at all. the owner of the store was saying that what usually happens is that when someone in a family dies and their children go through their stuff they don't know the people so they just get rid of the photos. and i just can't bare the thought of these poor people sitting in boxes, collecting dust and being unappreciated. it's silly, but i almost think it's disrespectful. SO! this time i went there and ended up buying like 20+ photos..i was going to buy some skeleton keys, but they wanted too much money for them so i passed, and offhandedly said to my sister "i bet they have some at gramp's house anyway" and she laughed and agreed, because my grandparent's house is like an antique store in itself. i was talking to my sister and my mom in the kitchen then all of a sudden i just walked across the room and grabbed a skeleton key off of a hook on the wall and held it up to my sister, who just stared at it. thank you universe! then i got home and realized that almost ALL of the photos i had bought were connected with the ones that i had bought before. my sister and nick and i sat on the floor and pieced together all the clues... that child is standing in front of the same house as those people... the writing on the back of this picture is the same as that one.. it was so neat! so now i have a whole series of photos of some family's vacation in maine with their cranky kid, a whole bunch of members of a creepy old man's family, and someone's favorite car. that makes me so happy! and now i'm just trying to figure out a way to get them all up on the wall.. it should be neat :)
and then! last week.. nick and i were driving down minot ave and all of a sudden i heard a HOLY SHIT come out of his mouth. i was like what the hell is going on? instead of answering me, he made a u turn and went back to a street off minot ave where there was... my dream come true.
( more ducks than you can shake a stick at! whatever that means )
SO! fast forward to last night! we decided to drive down to portland because i love to buy shoes. and on the ride home i looked out the window of our fancy rental car and said "ho-ly SHIT that is CREEPY!". what i was referring to, of course, was the moon. in some sort of odd atmospheric issue or something... the moon had plopped itself in the middle of a spot in the sky that was practically dead. there were clouds, but they were really light and feathery. and encircling that was a super dense layer of clouds in a perfectperfectperfect circle. i was trying to explain it to nick.. since he was driving.. and the best way i could think to describe it is: you know how if you look at a drop falling into a puddle of water? the drop is in the middle and it ripples out and there's like a wave all the way around the outside. well.. the moon is like the drop. and the clouds along the outside were the furthest ripple. that's a lame way to describe it, but trust me. it was probably one of the most amazing things i've ever seen. we pulled off the highway just to look at it, and right after that it was gone. and of course, it being one of the most amazing things i've ever seen... i didn't have my camera with me. because of course, i am a jackass. but it made my night
and this morning! i decided nick and i needed some breakfast, so i went out into the kitchen to make some scrambled eggs. i cracked two eggs into the bowl and i looked down and.. to my amazement.. THREE YOLKS! i was beyond impressed. i called nick into the kitchen to look at it and everything. i think he was impressed too.. but again, to cool to flip out. i, my friends, am not too cool to do anything. I WAS SO EXCITED! and i said that about twenty times just to let nick know. A DOUBLE YOLKER. MY KITCHEN IS NOW THE HOME OF THE DOUBLE YOLKER.. TAKE THAT BITCHES! and um, i forgot to take a picture of that too. instead i whisked it, cooked it and consumed it. whoops again. but i take that as insurance that today is going to be a fine day.
and i think the universe is just telling me that everything is cool. i keep getting sent this awesome rarieties of events, as small as they might be... but it's perfect for me, because small things are what makes life amazing in my opinion. oh i am just so happy. |

one of my favorite hobbies as of late is to sit on the computer and make wishlists of clothing/shoes/stupid things that i would like to own. it's fun and it lets me pine away about when i will start getting a regular paycheck (i start work the 13th!). i love money. seriously. does that make me awful? i don't care i want to buy shoes and i am a monster
today i've spiced it up a little though. i threw a fit earlier today and almost stormed out of the house... but decided to stay inside and blubber away with my bad hermit self. and now to mix it up a little further, i'm making wish lists and listening to tom petty! and um, today i'm wearing actual clothing? jeans and everything! still no socks though, because i've decided i really hate them.. even though it's winter. pajamas have been normal clothing for a while, and it's starting to get annoying.
i'm also looking through some of my pictures on photobucket... and.. i think i've posted these before, but i feel like posting them again. besides, they are over a year old. and besides, i know having pictures in a livejournal entry makes it impossible to resist! haha!
( my grandparents house kind of reminds me of an antique shop/horror movie. ) |

so today was pretty awesome, aside from the fact that we got into a pretty big car accident.
nick's parents were up visiting and we were driving down sabbattus st in lewiston. this 85 year old man.. and no, i'm not exaggerating, he was 85, pulled out of a parking lot and hit the passenger's side of the jeep towards the front. which pretty much totaled the jeep, did really bad things to the old mans car, and generally just scared the shit out of all parties involved. none of us were seriously injured, which is SO good.. it could have been sosososo much worse. nick just hurt his ankle and i'm really really effing sore. his mom was really sore too (we were both on the passenger side.. so we got hit the hardest) and i think his dad was okay, albeit a little shocked and seatbelt bruised. i'm so glad we were all wearing seatbelts. i'm also glad that i was paying attention, somehow, before it happened so i could tell the police officer the position of every car involved. and it's also really awesome that we had witnesses, and it was absolutely not nick's fault in any way shape or form. now we just have to deal with insurance stuff, and see if nick's jeep is declared totaled or not :-/ so, um, yeah. neat, huh?
i knew i shouldn't have left the house today
ps. and my hair appointment got fucked up/cancelled because of stupidity. laaaaaaaaaaaaame. |

this is the first day i've gotten up before noon in um.. a long time? i hate it.
yesterday my schedule was: wake up, look at clock which reads 1:11 (PM, mind you). stay in house until 4:06, go to post office. come home. stay awake until roughly 3:30am.
today: wake up at 8:45ish, promptly hate everything/want to cancel hair appointment and anything that involves me leaving the house on my own accord.
we keep saying we need to wake up earlier, but now that i'm up... i think it's seriously overrated dude. |

I AM SO LOST TONIGHT.
i have no idea to what to do with myself except sit around and read magazines. and that's all i've done! and earlier i drew an intricately detailed picture of a man with trees growing in his lungs.. it reminds me of second grade, because i was in a super smart spelling group, which was me and one of the nerdiest boys ever to come from minot. we were too smart for everyone else so we sat there with a dictionary and picked out our spelling words for the week. and one of the words we picked out was "alimentary canal". i've never forgotten it. this may explain my obsession with words. and possibly scrabble.
oh oh oh oh!
and i need to write about this, just as a public service announcement, if anything. JADA PINKETT SMITH IS IN A HEAVY METAL BAND. it's called wicked wisdom. you guys, i'm not making this up!
jada.. for real? what does will have to say about this?
and speaking of music, this entry is just turning into a blurb with pictures i'm stealing from random websites. IS ANYONE ELSE BESIDES NICK AND I WATCHING THE SHOW LOVE MONKEY?
love monkey? anybody? please god tell me someone else is watching it. i'm pretty much in love with tom cavanaugh and in the show he's the biggest music nerd ever! he pretty much is doing one of my 20 dream jobs which = A&R guy and he gets to go to shows and say "here i'm going to sign you to my record label because you are awesome and i have amazing taste in music". because i do kind of have good taste in music. and i'm really diggin the first guy that he.. well, sorta signed. his name is teddy geiger (in real life.. on the show it's wayne something). he's a little john mayer-ish but it's okay. it's catchy.
anybody? eh? |

I had a dream last night that I was kneading dough. I was making bread of some kind and everything had gone all wrong and it was too hard, but i grabbed a hunk of it and kneaded it forever and it turned into suitable dough and i cooked it. even in my dreams I am a boring housewife
i've been kind of busy lately, actually. believe it or not. aside from nick and I accidentally sleeping until like a half hour ago.. whoops. we woke up at like 8, stayed up for an hour, then slept until almost 1. and he's still asleep. HA. anyways, aside from that we've been sorta busy. we took a trip to new hampshire, then my sister and her dog sam (aka sammity calamity, samwise gamgee, sambo, there are too many names, its just too easy) came to visit us in auburn. my sister, my mom and i drove to brunswick to a hospital that was hidden deep in the woods to see my grandfather. and nick and i have been planning our vacation. well, i've been trying to, and nick has actually been doing it. i think we're goin to georgia, y'all! i am excited! we just need to figure out details and make reservations and all the boring stuff. but yes. we'll be gone for a few days.. then shortly after that we will both go back to our place in the working world at our respective new jobs.
i have slept forever but i'm still exhausted and i'm going to go mindlessly open and close websites about georgia. |

nick's away message right now says "today is it for nick" but i keep reading it and thinking it says "today it is for nick" and i like that one better. because today, it is for nick. it's his day to make himself happy because hopefully he will never have to walk into his awful, awful old job ever again. i love him and i just want him to be happy, so i'm very excited :)
i'm also excited because
a.) i am going to plan our vacation today! i think we are probably going to vermont, to relax and sleep, and go dogsledding(!!!). and we're going to check out an awesome cemetary and go visit mr. ben and mr. jerry and ask them if we can have some of their wonderful ice cream. i'm going to go figure it all out after i write this entry!
b.) "mary ann meets the gravedigger and other short stories by regina spektor is coming out soon! it was supposed to be out the 16th, but i can only find it for the 24th, so i might preorder it. regina spektor makes me so happy i want to dance and learn russian. or something.
oh and also! i had an awesome time last night hanging out with wayne and emma and ryan/angelo (and nick! obviously). we had an italian feast, and i got my ass handed to me in Scrabble by using words like "got". and i've learned that i can't technically use the word "vil" because it's an abbreviation. the dictionary mislead me (aka i didn't read it right). and we watch the office, which was heartbreaking. the office is just starting me make me want to cry a little more than it makes me want to laugh. PAM YOU KNOW YOU LOVE JIM
I DON'T CARE IF YOU ALREADY GOT YOUR VEIL TO MARRY YOUR IDIOT BOYFRIEND
JIM GOT YOU A TEAPOT
WITH HOT SAUCE IN IT
PAM. SERIOUSLY. PAM. come on.
alright, i'm okay. phew. this website is awesome though. the office! on nbc.com i know angelo would dig it!

so after all that hubbub about finding the perfect job and stuff, i sort of accidentally/intentionally took a job with my old boss. WHOOPS.
actually, not really whoops. i think i'm really excited? he just bought a restaurant (the place that was the fishery in auburn) and he's going to be re-opening it with a restaurant, bar & lobster pound. i just found out about him buying it last night.. and i called him this morning and pretty much immediatly got a job. because i worked for him for like 2 years and i think i was probably one of his most reliable employees. anyways! i went and saw the place today - it's still completely in ruins seeing as how he bought it like a week ago. and we talked for a while, and um.. i'm not sure when i'm starting or what i'm doing... because it's pretty much up to me. i pretty much told him that i can do whatever he needs me to do (i strongly hinted that i pretty much wanted to be his assistant manager... so, yeah) and i'm not sure when i'm going to start, but i offered to help him set up & clean and such in the next couple weeks. so we're going to be in touch in the next few days!
i'm pretty psyched! this is the same guy who ran the place that i quit last year. but it's also the job that i've been thinking about/missing practically since i quit. i feel like i'm slightly crazy to volunteer myself to work for him again, because i dealt with so much BS there... but i just have a feeling this is going to be different. because i really LOVED working there.. aside from the BS. it was like my home away from home for the longest time. i missed working for them. and my gut feeling told me to go for it. and my stomach makes almost all of my decisions.
i think this is going to be really good :) |

mood: tired music: the tv is teaching me to make bread
|
the pump in our septic system broke yesterday and i can't shower and i feel SO DISGUSTING IT'S UNBELIEVABLE (or to quote the gay commercial on tv ... IT'S CRUMBELIEVABLE! stupid cheese). and all of my housewife chores that i need to accomplish involve water.. and today is obviously devoted to housewife chores since my greasy ass can NOT leave the house in the state i am in. i had the same plan yesterday though.. and i ended up going shopping, which is my newest bad hobby. whoops. but today i am far too greasy to let the real world see me, so i will vacuum and dust and hide all our dirty dishes and clothes, somehow.
and i'm clearly becoming dellusional, because i just saw a commercial with an old man at a fruit stand and i thought "i should just open a fruit stand" it's seriously not hard, i could totally do it. i worked at one for like two years, and i practically ran the damn thing because no one else there worked. i'm just not sure why i would want one of my own. aside from the fact that i could, and that i love fruit. yeah and i could bake bread and sell it there too!
...the tv is influencing me way too much this morning. |

Lately I find myself practically aching to find a miraculous dream job... and completely shying away from all aspects of a normal job. The trouble is.. I'm not sure what my dream job is. Just aspects of what it would be like are what I'm looking for. I want a job that surrounds me with amazing people and beautiful things.. and if I'm lucky.. could take me to amazing places.
am i the only one who thinks like this??
what's your dream job like? |
