quiz time!

Your Brain is 33.33% Female, 66.67% Male


You have a total boy brain

Logical and detailed, you tend to look at the facts

And while your emotions do sway you sometimes...

You never like to get feelings too involved

What Gender Is Your Brain?

W-T-F

So, there's this total lameass thread over on fazed over the 10 albums you can't live without...and I did it...and look what I chose:

1. Cream - Disreali Gears
2. The Roots - Things Fall Apart
3. Pearl Jam - Ten
4. Tegan & Sara - This Business of Art
5. Air - Talkie Walkie
6. A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
7. Caroline's Spine - Attention Please
8. Toad the Wet Sprocket - Dulcinea
9. Chemical Brothers - Come With Us
10. Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen

So I start out strong with the Cream...and then immediately fall into hip hop that rolls into some down and dirty grunge which bounces back up to some lesbian folkism which spins into electronic ambient pop jumping to melodic melancholy rock sliding into just good guitar driven hometown rock that trips right over the epitome of alt rock just to dance into electronic splendor that tiptoes right back to sarcastic rock pop.

W T F M A N ?

My choices are at once cliched, dated, eclectic, and lame. Yes, I sorted my adjectives by alphabetical order on purpose. Eat me.

I would just like to give honorable mentions here to:

1. Ted Nugent - Ted Nugent
2. Daft Punk - Discovery
3. Green Day - Dookie
4. Groove Armada - Goodbye Country (hello nightclub)
5. The Big Chill Soundtrack

God, I'm so lame.

The happiest nights are the saddest memories.

Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m going back to the start

There's nothing like driving home alone at 3:30am to Coldplay...and having to run a redlight because it will never turn green. I love you all. And Jack Daniels love Eric.

Da Vinci was right.

Is this how it begins? I strap myself to someone and let them throw me out of a plane and the next thing I know I'm on a plane home wishing I was falling...I sign up for an account on dropzone.com and I spend all night downloading and watching skydiving vids. I even get a little excited when I happen to catch Eric or Bryan (the two I went with last week) in the videos.

I've looked over websites and pricing for all the close DZs (OMG I USED AN ABBREVIATION!) and I'd rather just go back to San Marcos. If I find the money and the time, it looks like I'm going to be trying to visit Ryan this summer. He just so happens to live about 30 miles away from Louisburg, NC, which is well within driving distance to Carolina Sky Sports.

And WTF is this tandem at 9500 feet bullshit, really?

Am I planning trips around finding new places to jump? Is this really Courtney?

And there I will always long to return.

le pant. le heave.

I'm exhausted. Completely fucking exhausted. Even though I went to sleep at 11:30 last night, I could barely stay awake at work all day.

I was gone long enough to completely knock me out of my routine. Which, possibly is a good thing. Eventually I'll get around to doing all my laundry and unpacking all my things, but for tonight. I'm just going to sleep.

It's almost time for spring relationship cleaning. I've got 3 or 4 people I desperately need out of my life before I go insane. I wonder how that's going to work out.

On a completely other note, have I ever mentioned how wonderful Keaton is? Impossible to fight with or be mad at, and the boy never fails to make me laugh. So very the best. Now to just find something good for his birthday next month.

Nap time!

Volcano girl.

Pictures by Bryan Moffett of my first tandem skydive at Skydive San Marcos. That gorgeous man strapped to my back is Eric Butts.

More information on their jumps here, at their Team Atair profiles.

Video coming soon.

*yawn*

I'm not dead, I promise.

I drove to Tulsa Wednesday afternoon, just in time to wait 2 hours in the terminal for my flight. Luckily enough right across from the varsity grill & bar inside. My first flight was just fine. We were told it was going to be choppy but it was definitely managable. I took a muscle relaxer on the way to the airport so I was struggling to stay alive the whole ride to Austin. Lots of SXSW folk were picked up in our stop in Dallas.

I got here Wednesday night and immediately got introduced to the most wonderful food in the world, Tres Leches cake. Thursday I have little memory of, although we stayed out for hours just walking around 6th street (and the various adjoining streets) taking in some drinks, music pouring out of everywhere and some very interesting people.

Friday. I jumped. Out of a plane. And it was taped. And photographed. AND IT WAS THE MOST FUCKING AMAZING THING EVER. Get a few more amaretto sours in me and I might tell you more. Bryan seems to be very disappointed in my lack of reaction, but I've never been the kind to jump and run around. I do things so much for me, that everything stays with me. I'm so selfish emotionally. I did however get to do what I wanted to do. See the world from above, and Texas has some beautiful farm land.

Afterwards, I finally made it all the way around the Riverwalk in San Antonio and we had a good dinner at Rita's on the River. I'm getting spoiled by all the tex-mex food because caesar salads apparently don't exist this far south.

Now it is Saturday and it is Bryan's birthday. We tracked down a whole Tres Leches cake and some mini cheesecakes to celebrate. We made a huge loop around the lake earlier and then went to pick up some beer.

I've got an Oktoberfest Spaten, Buffalo Bill's Orange Blossom Cream Ale, and a Melbourn Brothers Cherry to finish tonight.

Now...to take Bryan out for a birthday dinner.

Vacation.

I leave tomorrow (or tonight if it's not raining badly in Oklahoma) for a vacation down to Austin, TX.

It'll be my first plane trip.

I've only taken off work and gone somewhere once before, in May of last year when I took a couple days off work to sleep on Adam's couch and hang with him, Jason, Scott and JoLynn...and well, we all know how that turned out. They give you one taste of Sheriden's and the next thing I knew all my stuff was on a UHaul.

I've missed Bryan a lot, and I'm really glad I've got an opportunity to be able to go and spend time with him. A lot has changed in his life and I haven't been as closely there for it as I was when I was sleeping on his futon, so I'm really looking forward to the trip. The two of us went to Austin together a few years back for the infamous failed Electric Daisy Carnival of 02, and I loved what I got to see of Austin and San Antonio then, but my body just couldn't take the 105 August heat.

Luckily this time, it's spring, it's nice, I'm legal and there'll be SXSW.

And a little skydiving, I hope.

The 365 days prior to this one have been amazing. They've been insane. They've been deadly and they've been calm.

Let's do it again.

Over.

You really just had to be there.

/afk sleep.

It's not often I edit my entries, because well, it's lame, just make a new one right? Well, I've made way too many fucking entries lately. So...

We finally have the pictures from Megan's disposable camera up.

the urge.

Chillin' in the van, yea, feelin' on the girlies,
Our only concern is where the keg party is.
Accelerator down, we're getting there early,
Steamin' up the windows 'cause we're so fucking thirsty.
But we gotta make an important stop,
Over the curb to the neon lights.
It's not fast food and it ain't no piss stop.
It's the thirst shop!
Yeah .... We're going to the liquor store!

Welcome to Phase 2.

Oh yeah, apparently I love to play darts. Who knew?

I'll be here awhile.

I’ll be here awhile ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile

Far is solace in the maddening pace
Sad state written on my face

Not a tight rope walk but dance
Uncertain game of chance
But I’ll see it through in time

I’ll be here awhile ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile

And if a person place or thing can deliver
I will quiver with delight
Tempted by the hand that could
Blind my vision and sight

But at twenty years of age
In frolic and in rage
I will see it through in time

I’ll be here awhile ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile ain’t going nowhere
I’ll be here awhile

But the dawn has come into the endless night
And everything’s going to be all right

But at thirty years of age
Through frolic and in rage
All regressed and healed in time

I’ll be here awhile ain’t going nowhere
Said I, said I, said I
I will survive

BLEH!

Ok kids, busy trying to find motivation to clean, and motivation to not spend all night in bed on a heating pad.

RYAN AND ANDY AND ABBY AND PATTY AND BRIAN IN 2 DAYS.

Ok, I'm going to sneak off to bed now.
