p.s. check out Finola Hughes at 1:05, pre General Hospital days, in her movie debut.

what the hell was wrong with us??

THE APPLE

S1 and i watched this movie over and over and over on HBO.

full trailer:


we also watched alot of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. were we normal children of the 80's? did every 80's child like super cheezy musical movies?? i have to know!

here's a clip of one my fave songs from the movie:

happy birthday big sis!

Dear S1,

through the years we've had our moments. moments we wanted to kill each other, moments of throwing sharp objects at each other, and moments we basically just wanted to strangle each other. HARD! but, we've also had moments of sisterly love. they've become more often in our your later years. you've become more accessible... or maybe it's just that you don't have as many friends any more so you call me more often. i'm not sure.

what i am sure of - i like being your sister now. i can't imagine you not being around... loud as you are. i freak out if i don't hear from you after a couple of days. i start calling your husband to see what he did with the body. i start to actually miss you. ick. i like that we're able to hang out and actually enjoy being with each other. i know you'll never go see live music with me and you understand that i hate malls, but we still manage to find something to do. pedicures come to mind.

i think we all know i'm not good with words and writing down what i really want to express, but just know that i have tears in my eyes right now just thinking of how much i love you and appreciate you (when you're not being a total beeeyoch). you're my big sister and my best friend (but don't tell Addie).

Love,
Your Little Sis



HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD LADY! from islebehere on Vimeo.

new website idea

me: hey, so did i tell you i'll be through paying off my school loans this month?

my sister: about time

me: yeah, i'll have $500 extra a month!

my sister: cool, that can go towards your daycare.

pause

me: geez, between you and Addie... i'm gonna start a website called dreamcrushers.com and just put all of our conversations on it!

this just in!

i got a call from Addie yesterday, asking, "what's S1's email all about?".

me: huh? what?

S1 sent out an email yesterday, that stated:

Effective immediately, I am no longer employed with the City of Screwed Me Out of A Raise Way Too Many Times. You can reach me at my [personal email] or on my cell phone at 555-outta-here.

it's just a shame she has to leave a job that she really loves doing. a job that she was really good at. she was the go-to girl. people always came to her for help and she knew exactly what they needed.

too bad her boss didn't see it that way. her boss that thot she should keep her help and opinions to herself. to paraphrase Addie, "we don't value you as an employee, so sit down and shut up". i'm glad she's leaving. she doesn't deserve the crap she had to take.

the only question is, will she still get the sweet ass short-bus parking at her new job???

HAPPY BIRTHDAY S1!

is you is or is you ain't my baby?

in light of valentine's day, i thot i'd post a cute little vid, taken from YouTube. it's one of S1's favorites, if not her most favorite. it's a tom & jerry cartoon of a tune we still sing when we're being goofy.

happy valentine's day, Sis!

this is the WHOLE cartoon, if you wanna watch it...

slow news day

they gave S1 her own sign for parking at her house. they must have figured she needed it, since she had the short bus and all.

i SWEAR. this sign is in her yard!
