That's just the way it is.

There was a container next to the Sand Key Bridge that said "Dangerous" on it. I wondered if there was a tiger or something in it. I kind of wanted to walk over to it and see, esp since the effing drawbridge was up....as usual.

JO and I bought sparkling grape juice at Publix today and they put the bottles in paper bags like they were real liqueur. I'm SO drinking them like that.

I always have to go to the bathroom when I'm on the way home, which sucks because it takes forever to get home.

JO hates Hairspray because he hates fat people.

"Imma take you home with me."
"I'm going to take you...to your house...and go with you."
"What?"

"Oh man, we got the only table where you can't watch football."
"We're on a date!"
"Oh NOW it's a date."

"I only put this napkin on my lap because I was cold. "
"Uhm.....ok."

I renamed JO "Grumple-stiltskin"

A Tampa police officer drove by us with a logo that read "Caring for your community" I read it as "COMING for your community."

I walked in for a Bday present for my sister, and walked out with a Wall-E stuffed animal for me.

I woke up really effing late.

I'm going on a party cruise for New Years....so my best friends and I will at least all be on the high seas at midnight (we've spent every NY together since the 9th grade and they're on a 4 day cruise this week. Boo.)

You know those lights they hang from the light poles in downtowns? Well, in Belleair Beach we have one that looks like a Dreidel. Loves it.

I drove through downtown Clearwater today and saw two disturbing/upsetting things (1) the Jamba juice on the corner of Howard and that other street is closed! (2) The scientologists have a "Winter Wonderland" set up 2 blocks from downtown. I am horrified and intrigued and will probably go check that mess out.

I live 20 minutes from that mall with the ice skating rink in it. Made my day.

I went for a walk on the beach earlier. I <3 shells.

Some kid in the Disney store asked the employee at the cash register if they were hiring, then proceeded to go on a rant about the employment situation in "this country today." So funny.

My kid sister's birthday is on New Years Eve.......I have only ever seen her on her birthday the year she was born.

Everyone loves a hug

Kate said that to me after I hugged some girl from behind thinking that it was Kate.....and not realizing that it wasn't Kate for a good 10 seconds after everyone else I knew did. Eff my life.

My best friend tucks me in when I sleep over at her house.

People who want me to edit their videos promptly should text me and not my boyfriend demanding that I do it. Believe me, on top of commanding me to do something, making Jon Oliver tell me to do something will give me about 2% of the incentive I had to do it before. He is not the boss of me.

I love the delicious aftertaste of chauvinism shows leave in my mouth.

My parents have replaced me with some Tom Cruise look-a-like named Matt.

I now call hot boys whose names I don't know 'Tasty Cakes McGee'....but not to their face.....usually.

I met a kid they call "G." When I asked him his real name he said it was Gerrek. Garrik? Garrek? Whatever. I asked him if his mom named him that because she couldn't decide b/w Derek and Garrett. He said he didn't know. If he wasn't like, 13, I would've been too scared to harass him about his name....I only pick on people my own size.

I created a new style: Roadtrip Chic. It consists of wearing the college themed boxers of your choice with a tank top, whatever shoes you find on your passenger seat, and a v-neck you find lying on the floor of your car. Accessories: big sunglasses to cover your lack o' makeup and a hat to cover up your nappy hair.

I had a dream last night that Notre Dame decided that next semester everyone has to be transformed into a Zombie. And in the dream I seriously weighed the pros and cons, since in this dream the Zombies were like normal humans, just without souls (or I guess they were like vampires w/o fangs....w/e they called them 'zombies'). I asked if I could be changed back after graduation, they said no. The last thing I said before waking up was "Screw it, I'm just going to go to USF."

Since I never drive anymore, I hate changing lanes. I've honestly gotten to the point where I've just stopped worrying about hitting people, look in my mirror and think "If someone's in my blind spot, it sucks to be them." Then I grip the wheel and change lanes.

I've noticed one significant difference between Brooksville and Belleair: In Brooksville you get service 6.9% of the time, in Bellair you get it 96% of the time

Drawbridges are the bane of my existence. Eff my mom for living on an island.

The song "Superbitch" reminds me of Catherine like no other.

What? Huh? Shut up!

Give me a "D"
Give me a "R''
Give me a "A"
Give me a "M"
Give me a "A"
What's that spell? centralfloridahxcscene!!!

Tampa is shady, esp Waters Ave, the world's longest road ever.

If I see one more person punched in the face I'm going to....do something.

I met a guy today who I have lovingly deemed "Nebraska Dan" Is he from Nebraska? I don't think so, but the word was mentioned at some point today. Is his name Dan? Probably not.

The Chikfila on Waters kind of covers up the overall shadiness of Waters Ave...sorta

Exit ramps can apparently disappear at will, as there is not an exit for Waters like there was a week ago.

I almost got crushed by a merch table at the show tonight. That is the second time this week I've almost died a death by table.

I didn't ask to be put on a guest list tonight. There really is a first time for everything.

I love a place where you can show off your cellulite in December via shorty shorts. Hollerin@chu lil show gurls.

Worst thing ever = having to wait around at show so that the band members can get paid so they can go out to dinner with you.

"Someone had a stroke"
"To Clark's house!"

"We're a Miley Cyrus cover band."

"Once your tongue is down my throat, the whole 'friendship' thing is over."

It is agreed that everyone hates Indiana:
"I hate Indiana"
"Have you been there?"
"No but I saw where it was on a map once and I said 'no thanks'"

"I'm in the 813 and I'm still drug free even though all dem ho are tryin to holla at me."

"Because good samaritans don't have jumper cables."

"I'm always trying to bulk JO up. sometimes I stick him in hockey goalie pads."

"How do you break your toe playing hockey?"
"You punch them in the face with your toe!"

"I wish I had a hot sister, then I could date all her hot friends."

I'm married to a Jew, I've got nothing to lose.

New love: Hamlet 2

Every time I turn on the radio I know that either "Circus" or "Womanizer" will be on. I seriously only turn the radio on because I get the feeling that one of the two is playing, then I turn it off with the accomplished feeling that comes only from reassuring yourself that you are psychic.

I slept over at my dad's house on Christmas Eve and since half of he populations of Canada and Tennessee were at my house, I slept on an air mattress practically under the tree (which was being held up by strings so that if the cat jumped into the tree it wouldn't fall on me)

I also spent my holiday with a bunch of Peruvians and Koreans. The only thing everyone from every country I spent the day with had in common was that they were all drunk. Oh. The. Memories.

Someone scribbled on the front of my Christmas card to make sure the pen was working. It made me smile.

We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus at the insistence of the Korean grandmother. It was pretty awful.

A little Korean boy ran around the house with a toy gun all night and pretended to shoot himself in the head in various ways. When I was his age I thought the only way you could die was to be shot in the heart. He proceeded to shoot himself in the head more frequently when we begged him not to. That little boy is going to end up institutionalized or in a gang. If he's lucky, it'll be both.

I party right.

Santa Baby, I forgot to mention one little thing

Merry Christmas, all. If you didn't receive the mass text I sent out approx 3 minutes ago, either I don't love you or don't ave your number, I'll let you figure out which.

I know in about 2 minutes I will be getting at least "who be dis?" text. Then I'll be like "Brenna!" Sometimes I lie and tell them it's someone who they would never want to have their number, just to mess with them. If I don't lie, I always get the "Why do you have an 813 area code? You live in Hernando (352) and Pinellas (727)" Then I will never talk to that person again for asking such a dumb question.

I had a thought whilst driving to Weeki Wachee from Brandon last night on 75. It is not entirely necessary for people coming from the opposite direction to have their brights on. It is still distracting and just as douche-y as turning your brights on in 2 lanes of traffic.

I'm going to a show Saturday (you should too!). Sadly, I will be forced to TiVo "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" on TV. So sad I'm missing that. Whatevs.

My aunt gave me the first legit piece of jewelry she was able to buy on her own after her first divorce. I thought that was nice. Made my day.

Merry Christmas, all. I hope my boyfriend got me a gift.

My family still liked me better as a blond

Sad.

I'm in love with the game, but hey, I'm not in love with all of it.

Random thoughts over the past few days:

Best Quote of today- "Brenna, it is not entirely necessary for you to spend 80% of your time on South Beach." 

Best since I've been home- "I am so glad I met you."

It is completely possible for me to weasel any amount of cash from my mother by making up bogus things that I supposedly had to pay for and shouldn't have. Ex: I paid for sushi on the day we were SUPPOSED to go to lunch, but you're a neglectful parent and couldn't go. How much was it? Uhm............forty dollars.////I would come visit you mom, but I HAVE to work. Boo. Oh, you'll pay for my gas money for a week? Since when?

Britney Spears' new tracks are like crack. And by crack, I mean it makes me want to go clubbing and they get stuck in Jon's head.

Drew Carey is seriously mistaken, because after sitting there for over five hours, I can safely and accurately say that Cleveland does not, in fact, rock. It does, in fact, suck majorly.

I'm pretty sure the worst thing ever is forgetting something funny you were going to say....followed closely by not being able to sleep on airplanes. Seriously, I thought of something really funny (while not sleeping on an airplane) and it inspired me to write a random thoughts blog, but then I swiftly forgot it.

Starbucks gets my order wrong 66.6% of the time.

Every time I leave, Bob uses my car and every time I return, he's always taken my car key off the carabeaner/keychain with my mace, house key, key chains, rings I never wear, and other things on it. I should write up a contract that says that you're not allowed to drive Scroggins without the entire keychain in tact. He may think it's stupid, but I think he should drive his own car in that case.

I've lived in the TB (Tampa Bay, not Tuberculosis...although I would be so much more hardcore if I did live in a TB infested place) area for my entire life and have flown into TIA probably over a hundred times, yet the only thing I can identify from the air to this day is the mall.

I hate the word "guesstimate." It makes me physically angry. I thought about the word guesstimate on the plane ride down here and I ALMOST punched the guy next to me in the face, but with little to no options for escape, I would have been swiftly arrested/punched back. 

I got my hair cut today. It kinda looks like this guy's:

 

Without the douche bag smirk on my face or the incredibly thick eyebrows.

I did Toys for Tots on Saturday after 2.5 hours of sleep. Once again, I got robbed of the busy line. Eff everyone with the last name "Ramirezzzz"

I went back to work today. They missed me, of course.

It took me only an hour less to fly home that it would have taken for me to drive home, and cost twice as much!

This will be the first night that I've been home from school that JO will not be sleeping over. Yay, I get to go on the internet without him being all, "Why are you on the internet?"
