So... I got distracted by that stupid retreat and baseball and yeah, we have a birthday party to plan. I think we should go with a zoo animal theme so that I can hand make the invites and decorations. Or you know I could just do it all myself but Nathan is making me play nice. Ridiculous. So I guess let me know what your ideas are?
[/Private]
[Private to Nathan]
What day do you want to have the party? I'd hate to plan it for a day you aren't in town or something. Also, I need a list of people you want invited. Or people you don't if that's a shorter list. :D

How amazing was it to watch Boston STOMP New York on their own turf?! Damn amazing for any of you who don't know the answer. Tuesday was incredible. I almost got into a fist fight with some big New Yorker but George managed to hold me back. I would have seriously hurt that guy because I'm a badass, no lie. Hahaha.
Anyway, my 50th update is coming up and it will be amazing. Just you wait.
[Private to George]
Thanks again for going with me on Tuesday.

Before I jump into my main reason for updating, let me first start off by offering up my latest song addiction. Love The Spill Canvas, love this song. Enjoy. Nuff said.
Now onto Syd's Adventures in Sushi!

It's Thursday but I'm updating about last weekend anyway. First of all, thanks to Nate for going with me to do the spa thing. (Thanks again, Lena!!) How awesome was that? I felt like jello for the rest of the weekend, it was awesome. But as fantastic as it was, nothing, and I mean nothing, can compare to what I discovered on Saturday. This is the holy grail of cakes ladies and gentlemen ladies and gentlemen it still doesn't apply but whatever. I'm talking you've never had anything so good in your life and if you had to die right afterward it would totally be worth it!

My weekend was pretty mellow, I spent most of it alone catching up on television and cleaning my apartment. I finally got the last of the boxes shipped up to Boston. It looks really bare in there now. How awesome is BSG by the way? Frakking amazing! I'm so sad that this is the last season, they're really pulling out all the stops.
Anyway! I ended up winning one of the unbelievable date packages that Lena (the party was really awesome, thanks for doing all of that) put together and now I have a slight dilemma. I didn't think I would actually win so I didn't consider having to find a second person to share it with me. Genius, I know.
( Package details )
So who wants to go with me? Either that or someone should give me a compelling reason to gift the date to them because I still have more TV to catch up on and my comic book stack is out of control. And yes, I already called to see if I could just go twice and they didn't seem to be all that fond of the idea. It was worth a shot though.
Edit: Found someone, carry on.

Something has changed. The dynamic is different and I've been far more content being quiet than posting about random things, which I'm sure more than a few people are grateful for...oh well. I still miss him. This sucks. Strike.
Work has been insane. Where has everyone gone? If anyone knows any other layout editors send them this way! I could really use the help, this is getting ridiculous. I don't get paid enough for this. Ugh, Oliver will just accuse me of being whiny. Strike.
I've been sketching a lot recently, I think I've finally gotten my artistic muse back, which is good and bad in a way. Good because it's been too long and bad because I go into hermit mode. Between work and filling up sketch pads I haven't had any time to be a lame comic book geek or seek out new music or watch television. I'm impressed that I've been able to remember to eat but let's be real, this is me we're talking about and my body would probably go on autopilot to make sure that I continually stuff my face. But I have lost like three pounds so clearly I'm not eating nearly enough. This uneaten half of an extra large pizza is proof enough of that. Hmm.
Anyway, back to the art. I've been experimenting a lot with various animal designs and apparently a birthday card I made for a friend's son a while ago caught the eye of one of her friends and I was actually commissioned to sketch out a design for a tattoo. Now I have countless books filled with literally hundreds of ideas that I've been working on for myself (I'm just too indecisive to decide on one) but this woman knew exactly what she wanted and that made it pretty easy. Granted I did get to take her idea and interpret it but I think it came out pretty well. Before and after. Not quite sure how I feel about the color that was added but hey, it's not on my body so what do I care, right?
Well I guess the tattoo artist was into my sketch so I got a phone call last week to do a piece for their shop and can I just say that I have never felt so self conscious before, because I was. I think I started over like ten times and I must have at least a dozen canvases strewn about my apartment because they just weren't working for me. In the end I came up with this and while I'm not completely satisfied, I don't think it's all that bad either.
I don't know why I'm sharing all of this you're all just going to rip it apart anyway but it's been on my mind so what the hell. And with that, I will leave you with my latest doodle.
Edit: This made my night. I miss Boston.

In order to best help the Steelers stomp the Cardinals, here's how Sunday will work:
I'll be wearing pajama pants and a black tank top when I get out of bed. I'll have the yellow Steelers shirt waiting for me out of the dresser drawer, which I will don immediately upon leaving bed. I will not be wearing socks.
I will pace my apartment for a bit while I wait for my coffee to be ready and then I will have breakfast which will consist of one cheese danish, one cherry danish, one apple danish and a blueberry crumb muffin. I will then check my email and do some yoga poses afterward to help center myself until it's time to take a shower. Then, I'll take out my black Steelers shirt and place it on the foot of the bed. I will enter the shower and proceed to wash. After drying off, I will wrap the yellow towel around my head for my hair and a black towel around the rest of me and proceed to the bedroom, where I will put on the black Steelers shirt while humming a triumphant, Romanesque victory-march tune, while leaving the yellow towel on my head. I will not be wearing socks.
I'll find my lucky jeans that I've worn on every Super Bowl Sunday for the past ten years and put those on. I will be wearing my "bumblebee" underwear. I'll make sure my old cheer ribbon is in my right pocket along with my chapstick. I'll find some white FootJoy socks and put those on, followed by my black Chucks that I have laced with yellow laces. I will then be wearing socks.
I'll brush my teeth, put on some deodorant and do my hair and makeup and then put on my watch and thumb ring.
Dean will be joining me at our destination to watch the game. If the Steelers have to travel to win the game, so will I.
Steelers 31, Cardinals 24

Well Spent, I've decided that it's about time that I post about my hair. It's been a long time coming really and now I think I finally feel like I belong. Haha, right. As you can tell from my icon, I've decided to go short and blond. Only not but that's the best part. I guess I decided it was time for a change and while it is drastic, I do feel like it is quite fitting. Anyway, enough about that and onto more important things.
1. The girl scouts are dirty, dirty whores. How can they possibly think that cutting back the numbers of my three favorite kinds of cookies is a good idea? Well, it is NOT. This is by no means acceptable and I plan on writing a strongly worded letter.
2. This is quite possibly the greatest site ever. I know that I personally have one or two stories that I could submit but then again, I think that's true for every woman. Guys are douchebags, that's just a fact of life. Side note: My favorite is the "warning" guy.
3. I am SO EXCITED for Super Bowl 43. Not only is the Pepsi Smash pre-game show going to be awesome but Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band preforming for halftime? Oh hells yes! They are AMAZING live and I am so stoked to finally be getting someone good in there. I'm sorry but the halftime shows have been sucking something fierce the past few years. Okay, the exception being The Rolling Stones back in 2006 but that's it. Just saying.
4. Arizona will be going down on Sunday. While I'm not a huge fan of the Steelers, I simply refuse to see a west coast team win.
5. This site is still amazing and I love that the dudes of the day were all BSG characters the week that the show came back. So much love.
Hmm, and I think that's it. I AM BACK! Happy Monday!

BSG last night was epically awesome. So many twists and turns and fantastic revelations. I am really bummed that there are only nine episodes left but I can live with it since they are closing out the series on their terms rather than being cancelled and going "oh shit." And if I had the money I would totally be bidding on this right now. Ugh.
In other news, I was dumped by Eli who is probably going to run off and bang Aaren tonight I've got four tickets to go see Razorlight on February 10th if anyone wants them. I don't even want money for them, you can just have them. I know, I'm far too generous for my own good.
This article is pretty amusing but I think what makes it even better was that it was on the front of Yahoo!s news page. Whatever happened to MySpace? I rarely get anymore random friend requests over there. It's sad.
Ugh this post is ridiculous I should have just made it private and ranted about everything rather than pretending like everything is okay when it's not. Hopefully going out with Troy later will help take my mind off of it. If not, maybe he'll just let me smack him around for a while or something. That'd be awesome.
Hmm, I think that's it for today. Happy Saturday! Except that it's not at all because I think I got dumped for a FUCKING ALCOHOLIC INTERN. Breathe, Sydney.
Edit: Tickets have been snatched!

I had the strangest dream last night that I was kidnapped by "friends," fed shots and somehow convinced to participate in Amateur Night. Now when I woke up the dream was a little hazy probably because I was still partially intoxicated but it felt real. Creepy right? Then after I somehow drag myself out of bed to shower and get ready as I'm pulling on my coat to leave, I find a lot of singles and a hundred dollar bill cash in one of the pockets that I don't remember having. Spooky, eh? Maybe I was abducted by aliens because I like that reason better than thinking about myself pole dancing.
Anyway, in light of the economic crisis and scare concerning our jobs, I've decided that rather than buying a car I'm going to buy one of these instead. Hahaha ... ow my poor head.
Happy Monday! I'll be under my desk hugging my trash can if anyone needs me.

This is pretty damn amazing. Though the appeal probably has something to do with the fact that I'm a giant geek. I bet half of you won't recognize the majority of the characters anyway. It really makes me want to get back into sketching and finish that comic book I started way back when.
Anyway, here's a list of why this month is going to be awesome. Aside from all of this ridiculous relationship drama.
☇ Return of fantastic television: OTH, GG, BSG, Grey's Anatomy, Psych, Burn Notice, Law & Order: SVU.
☇ Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans
☇ My Bloody Valentine 3-D Haha, yes!
☇ Lots of new music.

Because when I arrive I bring the fire. Make you come alive I can take you higher. What is this, forgot? I must now remind you. Let It Rock! Let It Rock! Let It Rock! a;dflkja;dlsfjaldkjf SO FREAKING HAPPY!!
Best New Year's Eve EVER!! Happy New Year's everyone! Suck on that, Dave. I believe that noise above your apartment was called KARMA. Jerk. No, in a good mood. Let it go. Best mood ever actually. YES.
And because it was so awesome, I'm taking requests for breakfast tomorrow morning. Stupidest work day ever. I could spend it in bed doing naughty things but oooooh no. No one needs to know this. Doughnuts, bagels, croissants?

I stayed up late watching "Secretary" last night and I feel like no amount of coffee and/or sugary products can wake me up. Or maybe it's more the week I just had off and it's Monday and I don't want to be here? Hmm. I probably shouldn't have started watching it at midnight but it was on and it's probably on my top ten list for favorite movies and yeah, oops. Live and learn, right? No, that's a lie. I would totally do it all over again. Same thing goes for "Swiss Family Robinson." I could watch that movie over and over and over...
On a random note, I think that Luke needs to dress up like Rivers Cuomo everyday because it makes me happy it's awesome. Definitely a better look for him I think.
I would also like to say that I am completely devastated that my Pats aren't in the playoffs this year and that the freaking TITANS were somehow able to clench the top spot. So unbelievably unacceptable it's not even funny. Although as long as the Giants get taken down I think I'll be okay. I can't wait for baseball season.
Hmm, let's see, did I cover everything? Movies, Luke and sports. Yep! Happy Monday!

I shouldn't be posting. Drunk posting is bad. Except that I'm not drunk, just slightly buzzed. Thank God for chicken tacos. But I am angry! Grr.
Boston is amazing and it's really good to be home! I've missed it so much. Too much really, I don't think I'll want to leave. I wonder if BR is hiring. No, I like my job. Not all the people but still. It is freaking COLD but whatever, that's what the fireplace is for, right? Anyway, yes I am going to talk about my family just to irritate you people I get home and there is a joyous reunion with tears and much hugging and all that fantastically cheesy family stuff. Then my father makes dinner (filet mignon, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, baked mac and cheese OM NOM NOM) and all is quiet and wonderful until the doorbell rings.
Before I know what's happening, there are twenty former cheerleaders rushing through my door and I am being carried off to go out dancing! And what do my parents do?! Laugh and tell me to have a good time. I didn't even get to eat dessert! So then there are many, many shots of something and dancing on tables and well, I won't get into it but it was nuts and pretty awesome. Until I came home and talked to Devon and Luke who suck more than anything right now. I should have come back alone, I bet he won't even show for Christmas dinner. a;dkfjads;lfj Thankfully my dad came and rescued me and my mom was awesome enough to make me chicken tacos when I got home. Yes, I am an only child and completely spoiled, whatever. :D
I hope everyone is having an equally fantastic holiday break and that's it!

Let the inevitable bitching begin.

I've been trying to get caught up on some reading but I've decided that there's just no way to get through Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey without just sitting down and reading it in one sitting. Don't get me wrong, I love Palahniuk but there's no way to put this one down and pick it up later and remember who's who and what's going on. No one cares, whatever. The man is a genius though, even if he writes about dogs and maxi pads in the most disturbing way possible. Ew.
"The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, and fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.” - Chuck Palahniuk
So much love for him.

I'm trying to prove a point, so quick question:
How many pairs of shoes do you own?
You can give an estimate (50ish) or a range (5-10) if you don't know the exact number. Thanks!
Edit: So apparently I'm just a freak with too many shoes. Who wears a size 6?
