Do you remember in grade school, having a boyfriend was nothing more than a title. That was it, just a title. In high school, a boyfriend was someone you were already friends with and then started to make out with. You would date (used loosely) and then break up. And possibly you would start dating (or making out with) one of your mutual friends and it was fine. Either way, it still kinda didn't matter, it was just again, a title. I currently don't have any friends who have married or are still with their "high school sweethearts." They have either broken up or are divorced. So when you are in college or hit college age, boyfriends can go many ways, so to each their own. You either go to college dating the person you were dating in high school and break up, or go to college alone and mess around. And in some cases meet your soul mate.
No matter when you met, or who you dated, in every relationship, the break up is the same. Each go their separate ways. There is no "after" contact unless you force it, in which looking back, should never be and is a giant mistake. You may talk about being friends, but you know that's not true. It's an unspoken rule that unless you run into them at a bar, you don't call and set up a play date. You let the cards fall as they may. If you see them again, fine, say hi, and then be on your merry way. If you don't, fine too, you broke up for a reason.

Heartbreaker
First off, I am dying over this vanity! And I decided that my next karaoke song is going to be Hearbreaker. However that may change, it always does.
Secondly, someone asked me the other day if I would like to write on an online "newspaper" I don't now what better thing to call it. He is one of my friends who already writes for it. I asked if he has read my so called blog. He said yes. His answer amazed me for two reasons. One, he read my blog, two he still was asking if I would be interested in writing. Seriously, I write like a talk and I don't talk good.

new years schmew
In January, I made a few new years resolutions. I should have known from the get go that I was definitely reaching beyond the stars and into some other galaxy. I usually can do stuff when I set my mind to it, but I have never stuck with a new years resolution in my life. I don't know why it was a good idea to make 3 in one year! Clearly, i was delusional.
Since it is halfway through the year (gross) I thought I would give an update.
My first resolution: Go to one dive bar a month.
Clearly, I can do that! There are plenty, and I mean plenty of dive bars I can walk to in South City. I can probably throw a banana at 12 just from my apartment. However, I have not. The only one I have been to is Double D's Den, which barely counts because we go there once a month anyway. Mostly to enter rude names in the fake guy karaoke machine and then laugh at what we did.
2nd Resolution: Knit one thing a month.
I have knit 1/2 of 1 arm warmer. Seriously. First of, these are for myself. And if you have ever seen my wrists they are non-existent. A pony tail holder doesn't even stay put. I knew I should have started off with something that was for someone else. Then I would feel bad for not getting it to them. Now, I do have a list of things. 12 on that list to be exact, so I know what I'm knitting, I'm just not doing it. And I carry around the arm warmer to finish, but I just kinda look at it.
Final resolution: Go somewhere other or outside of St. Louis once a month.
Now this, I have somewhat been keeping up on. I've only missed 2 months. Which isn't bad, but it's still not following through with my resolutions.
I will never make 3 resolutions, if I clearly can't even stick with one. I guess my thought was, if I have 3, one of them I will stick with. Even if I add them all together to make one resolution, I'm still have a month of doing nothing. So, I've had 18 chances do three resolutions, i have done 5. Seriously.

Musical Hump Day
When I lived in Springfield, I looked forward listening to "Two for Tuesdays" on a classics hits station. They would play the same artist twice in a row. Very self-explanatory, but I loved it. Since I no longer live there, (thank god) I now look forward to Wednesdays.
Since working at my current job, I decided to googlereader all the websites that have to do with brain injuries, just to keep myself informed about who ever else is talking about it. However, it has now turned into "things that shannon loves to read about when she doesn't want to work." Which is DIY for stuff at home, clothes and jewelry, etsy, music, friends blogs and a crazy lady who makes me laugh alot!
Getting back to loving Wednesdays, I crave The Daily Graboid at the yellow stereo. Every wednesday morning I can't wait to find out what new music is going to be coming my way. It's a stream of songs from 15 different albums. I have since dragged my co-worker into looking forward to wednesday. You should check it out!
(p.s. I have had so much coffee, I have to backspace almost every other word because my hands are shaking)
(p.p.s. 11 days until I start celebrating St Pats!)

Zippy the Squirrel
So for some reason, a lot of people have been looking at my very first post of my blog. I have no clue why, but they come across the image of the racquetball photo. It's really weird.
Currently, my work is turned crazy and I'm busy like a mad woman. Moving into a different area of my job wasn't that awesome but I'm dealing with it. At least I have a job right now...right? I still view it at building awareness of our organization, which is always a plus.
And I'm sick and tired of hearing about the economy.
On a lighter note, I'm making dinner for my gals tomorrow. I wanted to make pumpkin and ricotta basil lasagna...well....currently, pumpkin is not in season, even though it's still cold as hell. Side note: hell apparently, well according to who knows who made up that hell is hot, hell is really hot, but for me, hell would be cold. But not today, today it's 70 degrees! Awesome. Which then brings me around to the idea that I have seasonal depression because today I have so much energy, I have to clue what I'm going to do with it, and who, aside from me, is going to be able to handle it. Sometimes, I can't even handle my own energy level. And that's without caffeine and sugar added into the equation.
Anyway, I called Whole Foods to see if they have pumpkins...they don't and told me that the only place that might would be a personal gardener and even their iffy and they couldn't give me the name of one. So, I'm going to use squash instead. Hope it works!

2009...huh.
So this top 25 thing is really getting out of control on facebook, and it's a little funny how out of control. It's like people really don't want to do it, but just get dragged in. kinda like blogging, why do I want to give up so much information about myself to people who may or may not know me. Anyway, i need to pass the time. However, I did my list in like 5 minutes, everyone else it's taking hours. Does that mean I'm a really boring person? I guess you make the call.
1. these are all in random order, much like how I roll...sometimes
2. i only like doing crossword puzzles in pencil
3. referring back to #2, letters must be in all upper case or all lower case, you CANNOT mix the cases.
4. i am somewhat but not fully addicted to reality shows, at least not as much as Megs and KBO, they might be out of control
5. i like to knit and my list for this year is to knit at least one thing a month, but some months may carry over if I want
6. i really like singing karaoke, many already know that though (and i mean really)
7. I do not like grape and lime the candy, but I do like grape and lime the fruits
8. my favorite band that i'm embarrassed to like is 3rd eye blind, but it's not really a secret because pretty much everyone already knows however, i still am somewhat embarrassed
9. I'm in love with my friends
10. i don't know if I can think of 25 things, nor if I have a (insert the word that means paying attention, but I can't think of it, it's a snow day)
11. i want an english bulldog bad!
12. i've always wanted to be an actress or a rock singer, amazingly, i'm not the most dramatic one in my family
13. i've had my heart broken and very glad it happened because right now, i'm the happiest i have ever been
14. before i die i would like to go to bora bora
15. i may or may not say may or may not a lot
16. my cuz patty and i have really long swan necks and all the other cousins are jealous
17. i like to make lists, sometimes about nothing
18. i only have remembered one joke in my whole life, it is the following: what do you get when you have a brown chicken and a brown cow? bowchica bowow (you know what i mean when you say brown chicken brown cow like that song, and yes, i am serious)
19. I have always wanted to live underwater like a mermaid.
20. I have never regretted anything in my life, i merely take it as a lesson and move on...but the moving on part might take awhile.
21. i believe in birthdays
22. when i lay down, i pretty much fall asleep right away.
23. most of the time, i like to be in control
24. i say it how it is
25. I HATE BEANS!
