23/100
My birthday from about 2pm on was wonderful. Before that: awful. Here's the timeline:
2:30 am-- The TV upstairs is turned up INCREDIBLY LOUD, so loud it wakes me up. I had to go upstairs and turn the volume down myself, and nobody was even watching it. It was an interview with Donnie and Marie Osmond, which I feel adds an interesting surrealist touch.
7:30 am-- I still haven't slept much because I've become inflicted with the worst craps ever. I take two midol and crawl back into bed.
9:00 am-- The cramps haven't gotten any better, so I came back upstairs, took 3 advil and a sleeping pill. I ask mom if I look older. She says "Well... you look a little rough. I guess that's like looking older." I crawl back into bed again and finally get some sleep.
1:00 pm-- I wake up, crawl out of bed and up the stairs. Grandpa is here and he makes fun of me for not getting out of bed earlier. He has no idea. Shower, style the hairs, make the deviled eggs, and then
3:00 pm-- Family comes over for dinner. I open some presents, one of which is a hardcover copy of To Kill A Mockingbird. I love it so much I want to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant.
I was kinda groggy all day. I claimed that the grogginess was because the sleeping pill hadn't worn off, but Abby thinks that the sheer amount of drugs in my system was what caused the problem. Apparently she's worried about drug interactions. Strange. And besides, I asked my mom how much I should take, and I trust her because she is a medical professional. Her motto is also "Better Living Through Chemistry" so maybe I shouldn't trust her all that much.
Finally, this is my 100th post. Cue the marching band. I've posted some random stuff lately in an arbitrary yet successful attempt for my 100th post to fall on my birthday. Huzzah.

Bookplates
Cute, right? But you see what I mean about being too young? I'll probably hold on to them to use when I have children of my own. I think I also have a set of ballet bookplates that I could use, except that I have no idea where they are. I think for now I'll just pencil my name on the inside cover and not worry about bookplates for the time being.
Anyone have an opinion they'd like to share?
Speaking of books I own, I ordered some books off of half.com and one of them arrived this afternoon. I was thrilled, but I was less than thrilled that the seller put his ebay id in the return address instead of his name. Which would be fine if his ebay monicker weren't Mr. Magic. My mom was confused when I recieved a package in the mail from "Mr. Magic" in Rhode Island. I had to explain to her that this guy was just lame and that I hadn't bought any porn or anything. Also, how lame is it that his id is "mr. magic?" Well, I guess they can't all be awesome like mine. I'm mtcfc. In case you were wondering: Yes, it does stand for 'Miranda The Crime Fighting Cheerleader.'

She's just being Mileeeey
Unfortunately, after I left the salon I saw a poster and realized that aside from color, I now have the exact same haircut as Hannah Montana.
Me (apologies for crappy quality, my digital camera was upstairs but my phone was right there):
Hannah Montana:
Despite my semi-secret love for the song "See You Again," this whole haircut thing was unintentional.

What changed: TV, the Internet, or Me?
I used to go to TWoP every day. Even if there wasn't a show I was keeping up with, I would still check out the site to see if there was anything else of interest. Nowadays, I just visit the site whenever I want to look at an old recap for ER or House or whatever random show I'm watching. I visit maybe 3 times a month.
I'm not really sure what's changed. Sure, the layout and design sucks, but the content is still the same. There is the fact that I'm really not watching many shows that aren't in syndication on TNT, and most of those shows aren't recapped anyway. So I have less of a reason to go to the site.
And let us just ponder for a moment why I haven't been watching much tv. There are some shows I intentionally stopped watching (Heroes, Guilty Pleasure Gossip Girl)because I fell behind while in Hawaii and then the long writer's strike made me feel like I hadn't watched the shows in forever and I didn't want to be behind. I'm planning on catching up on DVD, or maybe I'll check out what this whole hulu.com thing is. And then there are the shows I just completely lost interest in. I'm looking at you, Prison Break. Also, I've been checking a lot of TV-on-DVD out from the library. It's a great way to watch the shows I want to see without having to pay to buy or even rent the seasons. Renting may be replaced by hulu, we'll have to see. TV-on-DVD takes up a lot of time, time I would normally spend watching TV-on-TV. Then there's the fact that I've been developing hobbies that don't require me to sit on my ass in front of a tv. You know, hobbies that require me to sit on my ass in front of a computer or sewing machine.
There used to be several shows I would follow religiously, and then read the recaps on TWoP. Now, I don't. I don't really know what has changed.

I'm still alive
Reason #1: Nothing has been happening. Really. It's been pretty boring 'round these parts.
Reason #2: I've been talking with Abby on the phone more than usual, so I've been telling her all my good stories. Since I'm pretty sure she's the only one who will read this, I didn't think it was worth my effort to type up what I've already told her.
So, until something more interesting comes along, peace out.
