My blog is too blog-a-licious for you, baby? I've got nothin'.

So... I fear that my time with LJ is limited... but for good reasons. The fabulous RP created a blog for me. He's great like that. So... check it out if and when you get a chance. www.mobstarentertainment.com/keri

In other news: Mickey? I know, I know. A name you haven't heard in ages. Well... he got to me this evening, and all of those memories came flooding back, and for a solid... minute (two tops) I felt all emo. I remembered how he always broke me down and got to me, and how I still managed to hang onto feelings for him for ages. Why? Well clearly I hated myself and thought that I deserved to be treated like crap. Those days are long gone. What did I do? Put on music that makes me happy, and danced around for a few minutes and remembered how lucky I am to have gotten out of that situation.

Does it suck that I have yet to find a nice guy who finds me attractive, and who doesn't cheat on me and call me names, and tell me how gross I am? Sure. But I hold onto the idea that such a fella exist and I will find him in due time. Have I found nice guys that I adore? Certainly? Of course, the way the world works, we can't make others like us in return. So... for now, I am taking pride in the fact that I got this job for the summer. I will be embarking on a new adventure, I will get to see the stars again, be surrounded by nature, family, and friends... and art. I will push myself to grow. And I will most likely be so busy that I won't realize or care about the fact that I am single. And if I do... I'm sure the interns will have enough love and sex drama for the rest of us... making the rest of us glad that we don't have to deal with the real life Days of Our Lives or some crap.

I'm truely starting to embrace myself. I love to flirt. Surely, if the flirting would lead to dating a lovely gent, that might be better, but I'll just enjoy what life is giving me at the moment. I have some exciting stuff going on right now, and I am just soaking it all in. It feels good.

This song has come on the radio on my way to work everyday for a solid week. So... clearly, it was asking to be song of the week.

Poker Face. You know you love it.

I need to sell my Lollapalooza ticket. Why? Well... because I woke up this morning to a job offer from the Peterborough Players. That would be why. So... I will be the Props Master or Mistress this summer for le Players. Beer/Theatre/Music-filled evenings under the NH stars? Count me in. So... while I am back East, I will also continue to look for jobs in Boston. So... if all goes well, I will be staying, and only returning to Chicago to collect my things and visit around the holidays. But... let us not put all of our eggs in one basket.


Let me know if you know someone who needs a 3 day Lolla pass.

Let's kick it old school.

This song came on the radio when I was driving to work this morning. Sign from God? Obviously. Pat needed to be featured. Who am I to argue? Ya'll know you love this song. You know you sing it in the shower. You know you sing along with the radio and feel no shame about your love for P.B. Dat's how we do, boo.

Hit it!

Current Location: not where i want to be
Current Music: death cab
There was a reason I wasn't into this guy I've been seeing. Grr. He leaves in the morning for a seven day vacation. Fine, no biggie. We were supposed to hang out tonight, but he had "work stuff to do." Fine. I understand. Well... I call him to say "have a good trip, be safe," and so on, and what does he say? He says "what happens in Jamaica, stays in Jamaica!" No, really. So I asked him to clarify what that means because I tend to take things the wrong way. He says "I can't help it if pretty girls want to sleep with me!" I mean... really?!? Okay, fine. Have a lovely vacation. Just don't expect much from me when you get back. Peace out.

Everytime I decide I was wrong about relationships and men, I meet yet another ass. He chased me. I gave in.

I shouldn't be dating guys in Chicago anyway. I don't want to stay here. It doesn't make much sense.

Hey Kids,

I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I've been writing for www.wurditude.com, and not enough people are looking at the site. I need to prove to my friend that it is worth putting some extra effort into. His other site is thriving, and I am feeling like a loser. You all know that if I work on something, I want it to be top notch. I can't let the beer site beat music site! I mean... I love beer, but... I'm writing for the music site! It's free to join. If you join, you can comment, etc, and from time to time, we have contests and promos. So... it would be worth your while AND you would be doing me a huge favor. Please, please, please at least check it out. We won't fill your mailbox with spam or anything. Tell friends! Tell strangers! Tell the Pope if it will make you happy!

Thanks a million!

Love,
Keri

Apr. 1st, 2009 @ 11:14 am not much of an update
I don't have all that much to report. I have my three day Lollapalooza pass. Woot. I'm thrilled about that. Of course, it looks like I won't have anyone to go WITH, but... I can't let shit like that hold me back.

I have gone on a few dates with one guy. We shall see if or where that goes. I still don't know how I feel about it. I'm feeling indifferent, which tells me that it probably won't be much.

I also still can't shake a crush that I've had for ages. It's getting to the point of being annoying. Why can't men read minds? Haha. I'd rather not say anything about it because friendship is important, and I don't want to make things all weird and yucky. I'm fairly certain that I'm not his type, so I just need to get the hell over it.

Things have been pure stress at work, but it is what it is. I've just been trying to keep my mouth shut, take deep breaths, and not bring it home with me.

That's about all there is to report. Not much of an update. Kind of pointless really. Sorry about that.

I was going to pick a song from one of the Lollapalooza headliners, but alas, I think I might do a song a week from the Lolla lineup starting as soon as the bands are officially announced. I can go right down the list and make it easy on myself. Tickets go on sale tomorrow! Gah! I already know that the headliners are Beastie Boys, The Killers, Depeche Mode, Kings of Leon, Jane's Addiction, and Tool.

ANYWAY... I picked this song because... well... it was my free Starbucks pick of the week. So why not?

I'm feeling rather down this evening. In fact, "Sullen Girl" by Fiona Apple would must likely be a wise choice for song of the week. Mayhaps some sulken love song? I don't know.

I was trying to think of an artist that I haven't featured yet who would fill my current emo void. I couldn't think of anything. Then it came to me... I'm a theatre person. Why is it that I tend to shy away from musicals in my song of the week entries?

I decided to feature a song from one of my favorite shows. I will never forget when I saw this show in NYC. I was in HS, and I was with two of my best friends. We plunked down in these crazy, soft, old, gigantic orange seats after a long day of shows and walking, not knowing what to expect (hookers and pimps were standing on the theatre steps), and we were blown away by the three person show that started with a bang... almost literally. The cast recording wasn't even out yet. Tick, Tick BOOM! delivered far more than we expected.

Come to Your Senses...

Your math lesson for the day:

Keri + Boys = FAIL

moving on...

I've had a crazy headache for a solid three days. I'm starting to get cranky. I figure if it's something serious, something drastic would have happened by now. Not sure if it's because I've stopped drinking soda, or due to lack of sleep, or what the hell it is, but it's annoying as all hell.

I had a dream about my friend Will last night. I miss him like crazy. We've fallen out of touch, and I have no idea how to contact him. I should try to find him. He's such a great guy, and he's one of the best people to talk to. I lost his number when my old phone died. Grr. Maybe I can find his Mom's NH address somhow and go from there...

My friend Rick is in Brazil. I'm jealous. I'd love to be exploring a completely new place on the map. He's also a good one to talk to, so... yeah.

Why do I have better friendships with guys? Is that weird?

I'm just rambling. Sorry. I'll stop.

Mar. 20th, 2009 @ 12:56 pm Oh geez
The Spring-like Chicago weather has me kind of thinking about the whole dating thing again. Eh, I have my doubts, but maybe I should just have a bit of fun, stear clear of anything serious, and see what happens.

I've had a few days off this week, which I wasn't thrilled about, but now... I'm thrilled about it. I've been working like crazy. My feet hurt, my back hurts, and I'm not doing so well at keeping cool with mean customers. I've developed a short fuse with these rude people. Plus, the new window display has to go in this week, which means long hours for me, and added stress, etc. So a few days off is probably exactly what I needed as far as mental health goes. Money is a different story. Our store is now officially the "model" store, which means that we have about 5 times as much work as before, and it means that we've had about two corporate visits a week for the past two or three months. It's so stressful. Gah!

But of course, I'm still thankful to have a job, and thankful that I adore most of the women I work with.

More soon maybe. Hope all is well with ya'll.

I'm really missing Boston and wish I could teleport myself there asap. Guster reminds me a great deal of New England and many of my memories are tied up in Guster songs. So... here's a bit o' home.

So Long by Guster:




In other news: I had my reading of AT LARGE! last night. It went really well, and it felt great. Got a few drinks with my Mom and some friends after the show. A lovely evening indeed. The weather in Chicago has been really amazing, and I'm trying to get out and enjoy that as much as possible. That's about all I have to report. Hope all is well with everyone.

Feb. 25th, 2009 @ 01:22 pm AT LARGE!
I have been offered a great chance to use a space in the city for one night to do a reading of AT LARGE! I would like to stress several points:
This is a READING! The main purpose is to get feedback, and to allow another chance for people to experience the show if you missed the performances in Oak Park. Also, this is a small space that holds about 40 glorious audience members. So if you really want to go, be aware of that.

A bit about the show: This is a one woman show that I started writing in college. I interviewed plus size women, and turned those interviews into monologues. This show addresses weight issues, body issues, sizism issues, and so on. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll laugh so hard that you cry? That's all up to you.
Here are the details:

AT LARGE!
March 15th, time t.b.d.
Oracle Theatre
3809 N. Broadway

Adult beverages will be served for donations (I am far more humorous if you drink).

Current Music: Lily Allen- getting ready to review
Hey Kids!

Just letting you know that a friend of mine started a great website called wurditude. He's been working really hard on it. You should check it out if you get the chance.

He was also crazy enough to request that I contribute. So... I will be doing a few music things on there. We will be co-blogging. We'll do some album reviews, etc. So any support would be lovely, and I will give hugs as thank you gifts. If you know anyone that might find the site interesting, please spread the word... err...umm... wurd.

Thanks!
