I am actually writing this at 4:30 in the morning on Sunday.
I went to bed just after midnight, but I woke up around 2. It was one of those things where you get an itch in your throat in the middle of the night and just wake up coughing and can’t stop. I was exhausted as I went to bed but after I woke up coughing I can’t seem to fall back asleep. I’ve just been lying in bed listening to Harry Potter on cd. Usually listening to audio books helps me sleep, and I’ve been doing all the other little tricks I have that usually help me pass out quickly, but alas, two and a half hours later, still awake. I finally realized that I was too tired to get up and do anything and that maybe that was the answer, get up and start doing something and I just might fall asleep soon after.  And since I did have something to write about, I figured I would get up and type this out.
Last night the company I work for, National Quik Cash, had their annual party. It was called our Valentine’s Day party because we didn’t do anything for Christmas. They invite all the stores in the area, including the ones in Tulsa and other places where people have to travel to attend.
Well, at this party there was a DJ hosting karaoke. Now I don’t know who all knows about this but it has long been a deep desire of mine to sing karaoke. I am very vivacious when I sing in the car, and some times I sing along to the games made for playstations and x-boxes with my friend Sara. But a long time ago I did include the desire to sing karaoke for real, all by myself, on a list of ten things to do before I died.
Now my friend Christi hosts a karaoke night at a local bar and back in December I went to one of these nights and did get up and sing “Just To Be The Next To Be With You” by Mr. Big, but Christi and I sang together so it didn’t really count.
Well last night…I did it!!!
I was a little intrigued when I heard there was going to be karaoke at the party, but I didn’t think I was really going to do it.
But when I was there I realized that nobody their knew me. I mean there was maybe just over fifty people there and I only knew three going in. And two of those people where managers in our area, Dave and Lauren. And I just figured, what better way to let them see that I can be more than just the quiet little wall flower. When you are like me and you are new to a job and you kind of keep to yourself sometimes you have to do something to make you stand out. Help them to remember you. Like the next time they come in the store they’ll be thinking “yeah that’s Courtney. We all thought she was just this hard worker who kept to herself, but hell no! She is a bad ass karaoke singer! She’s one of us!”
So I looked through the book of songs that were available to chose from. I wanted to find Mr. Big again since I knew I could get through that one, but it wasn’t there. I mean this book had two songs by Nick Carter, four from High School Musical, and a whole list of children’s songs like Row Row Row Your boat and Michael Rowed The Boat A Shore, but not ONE song from Mr. Big. Can you say injustice!
So, I set out in search of a new song. My eyes came across Jump by Kris Kross. But I decided that it probably went to fast, what with all the rapping, and moved on.
I searched and searched but could find nothing that I thought would be agreeable. I hate it when people get up and sing slow country songs on karaoke! The way I see it, with karaoke, you have to sing songs that can get the audience excited, slow country songs don’t do it people!!!
Finally I gave up. But as the night went on, I couldn’t ignore the desire to want to get up there. So, I decided to just do. Just go for it. I grabbed the slip of paper, put down my name, put down Kris Kross, and rushed over to hand it in before I could change my mind.
I was sitting at a table with my friend, and co-worker, Ame and four other girls who were younger then us. And they all agreed to cheer me on when it was my turn.
And when that time came, I was scared as hell.
I was so nervous. And unfortunately when I am nervous, and then find something funny, I laugh like a high pitched twelve year old. So I was doing everything I could to keep my nervous in check but I could feel my entire body shaking.
The microphone was smooth and solid black. When my song started, I started to sing but nobody could hear me. The DJ came up and before she restarted the song announced to the crowd that when you are singing karaoke if you can’t be heard, to make sure you push the volume button all the way up. Yeah…that was embarrassing. But I am telling you, that microphone was entirely smooth and so was the button. I couldn’t even feel one there when I was pushing it later.
So anyway, she restarted the song and I even made a little joke, while pushing down the button, about how we were going to give it another try.
My legs where shaking so bad I had to stand perfectly still for fear of falling over. I couldn’t really hear the music behind me so I just had to sing out the song when the words lit up. Luckily, I have always been a fan of Jump and when I was younger I did know every word so it wasn’t so hard to sing along.
When it got to the chorus, the girls at my table cheered and sang along, and every once and a while I could see them jumping up when the song called for it. But it wasn’t just them. The whole audience was singing along! I could hear it from the stage, after I sang “mac daddy make ya…” I could hear all the people there erupting in a mass chorus of “JUMP JUMP”… “daddy mac will make ya” “JUMP JUMP”… “kris kross will make ya” “JUMP JUMP”… and then I really rocked out on my “UH HUH UH HUH”!!!
I even did pretty well on the verses. I knew the first verse and got through it but I kind of slurred through the second. But by then everyone was having so much fun singing along that it didn’t matter.
When I finished everyone clapped and cheered and hollered. I gave into my girlish high pitched laughter on my way back to the table but everyone was cheering so loudly that I don’t think anyone heard me.
From the time I finished the song, to when I finally got back to my seat it probably took a good three minutes, and everyone in the audience clapped and cheered for me until I was able to sit down. People were complementing me all night on how good I did, saying they didn’t know I had it in me.
At one point when we went outside there were these two guys out there smoking and when Ame and I came out they started going “jump jump”, it was so funny. A lot of people complemented me and I was just on cloud nine!!!
It was amazing!!!
So on that list of things to do before I die, there now resides a big giant check mark next to the desire to sing.
Now all I have to do is find the right time to shave my head and travel to Italy. Seeing U2 in concert is on the list, and after their new cd release in just twenty-two more days, that should provide the next check mark!
After Ame and I left the party we went by McDonalds to get some non-alcoholic beverages, and I got some fries. And since I have been on my diet and haven’t been eating greasy foods, they didn’t settle well and I feel sick. Maybe that is why I am still awake at, now, 5:55 a.m.
I really need to get to sleep, I had such a big day plan for today but I don’t see how I will have the energy to get through it now.
Sorry this was such a long blog, but I hope you enjoyed the story!

Here is the update on my weight loss.
About a week after I started taking the bontril I noticed that I was having the brief moments of light-headedness. It would only last for a second, by the time I really registered what I was feeling it would pass. It wasn't painful and in the beginning I thought I would just ignore it and continue taking the meds. But after about a week of this I couldn't stand it anymore, it was just uncomfortable, so I stopped taking the bontril. I didn't call my doctor because I was supposed to have my appointment just a few days later so I figured I would just talk to her about it then.
However an ice storm came through and my appointment was rescheduled for today.
And guess what!?!
In just three weeks I managed to loose 13 POUNDS!!!
I am so excited!!! For many reasons. The first of which is that I LOST 13 POUNDS! That is a great way to start out a diet.
But also I am excited for the fact that I don't feel starved or denied. In the past three weeks I have had McDonalds twice, ordered Chinese food once, and just the other day I had Panera for lunch, which lets face it even if they do serve soup and salads that doesn't always make them the healthiest places to eat. And there were a few days in the beginning when I might have had an occasional dr pepper. My point is, I didn't completely deprive myself when I had a craving. Sure the next day I made up for it by exercising a little more and really watch my calories and fat the next few days, but I wasn't going without. I mean I worked really hard.
It is very exciting to know that I lost so much while not on the medication the entire time. That means that when I get down to my goal weight and then am off the medication for good I can keep the weight off on my own. That is very encouraging.
My next appointment is on March 4th, and the goal, set by my doctor, is to loose another 10lbs.
She has also switched my medication to Phetermine and hopefully I wont have any weird reactions to that.
So let me tell you a little about what I have been doing.
I have recently discovered that I really do like seafood. So I have been eating a lot of fish. I do eat a lot of cereal, which I know doesn't really provide a well balanced meal, but what can I say...I like it!
Now for exercise, I started out walking a mile every couple of days. Then about four days ago I started adding in another lap to the walk that pushed it to two miles. The last few times I tried to be on a diet and exercise, I mainly focused on doing these DVD’s at home. I really like this girl I believe her name is Leslie Sansone, she does these walking in place DVD’s that are actually really hard. I'm exhausted by the time I finish them. But this time I have been walking outside more. You see I do have my dog Riley, and I feel bad knowing that he needs exercise as much as I do. I would feel selfish just staying inside and exercising to DVD’s knowing that he just has to sit there. So having Riley helps keep me motivated to get up and get outside. I did take a special little route on my way home today, just around my neighborhood, and if I go this new way I will be able to push my walk to three miles!! Wont that be nice!
So anyway, that is about all I have to say, so wish me luck!

THAT IS IT!!! I HAVE HAD IT WITH YOU FREAKING OSCARS!!!

So the nominations came out today for the 2009 Oscars. Now maybe this was a little bit of a stretch, but I really wanted Jason Segel to be nominated for Best Original Song for Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Yes, Yes, I know that Sarah Marshall isn't really an Oscar kind of movie. But my whole theory was that hey if South Park can be nominated and win for "Blame Canada", then surely Jason Segel should be nominated for 1 of the 4 songs that are on the soundtrack that he wrote.

I mean for crying out loud last year Enchanted had 3 of the 5 nominations!!!

Okay so this is what really makes me mad about the whole thing.
First of all, Jason Segel wasn't nominated
Second of all, Slumdog Millionaire was nominated TWICE!!!
and Third of all, THEY ONLY GAVE OUT THREE NOMINATIONS!!!!!!

I mean, My God you only have THREE nominations and you can't throw Jason a bone here!!!

Dracula's Lament was a good song! And a Taste For Love would have been incredible to see performed on stage!!!

The bottom line is Oscar, you let me down in 1996 when you gave the Oscar for best supporting actor to Cuba Gooding Jr. for Jerry McGuire instead of Edward Norton for Primal Fear (his first movie ever)
You let me down again in 1999 when you gave the award for best actor in a leading role to that freaking Italian guy instead of Edward Norton again for American History X (By the way check out the E weekly that came out a few weeks ago where they look back on Oscars' big mistakes and who the awards should have gone too, I am not the only one who thinks you were wrong about this one!)
And now, not even given a nod to Jason Segel!

Jason Segel is talented! And he deserved to be nominated! He worked really hard and he has a vision!

Frankly Oscar, I don't know what to do with you anymore. I appreciated last year when you gave the Oscar for best original song to Once, but now with all of this, I'm sorry but I have just lost my faith in you. I don't think we see eye to eye anymore and I think I am just going to have to let you go. Don't even try to make it up to me at this point. You're a joke, you're awards are stupid. People only watch to see what other people are wearing. Nobody takes you that seriously anymore. You're washed up. You peaked too early and now you're done. We are done.

***P.S. I don't recall John Cusack ever being nominated for an Oscar, I mean seriously are you kidding me!!

So last night I was enjoying my families weekly dinner on Sunday nights. In the midst of having a conversation with my two sisters (my older sister is Stephanie and my little sister is Lindsey) I asked if either of them had heard or seen the movie My Best Friend's Girl. Lindsey has not seen it, however Stephanie has not only seen it, but LOVED it!!! She thought it was hilarious!!! I just sat there with my mouth dropped open completely shocked, as she went on and on about how funny it was.
So just to prove to my sister that I am not the only one who hated this movie I went to Rotten Tomatoes.com and they rated it at 16%!!! Which means that out of all the reviews they collected about this movie, only 8 out of 53 gave it a good review.
And to prove that, here are some of my personal favorits...

"Tedious, largely unfunny and poorly written comedy with the least likeable collection of characters you'll see all year."  Matthew Turner from ViewLondon

"It's a movie that ultimately fails because it features characters that are so unlikeable that it's difficult to care whether they form a love connection or not."  Sean McBride from Sean the Movie Guy

"Want to spend a seemingly endless 100 minutes watching a dullard trying to decide between a douchebag and a eunuch? Then run, don't walk, to My Best Friend's Girl, a supremely irritating movie about idiots and their dull quest for unconvincing love." Alonso Duralde from MSNBC

And my personal favorite by Ken Hanke from Mountain Xpress...

"Induces that dull pain at the back of the head that I believe to be the result of brain cells crawling away to die of embarrassment."

Anyway, when I was trying to convey to my sister how much I hated that movie I mentioned that I hated it so much that I wrote a whole blog about how much I hated it. (Technically now it would be a blog and a half if you add everything I just wrote above.)
Both my sisters were shocked that I even had a blog and said they wanted to read it and then asked if I had ever written about them. I hesitated, I really only paused because I couldn't remember. They were slightly insulted by this assuming that I had written about them in the past and also assuming that whatever I wrote wasn't flattering for them.
So today at work, since we were really really slow, I went through and looked back on all of my previous blogs. What I realized was that I haven't mentioned them once. (sorry guys!)
So for those readers who didn't already know, I do have two sisters. I am in the middle. And not to leave out any of my other family member, My mother is Taska and my dad's name is Dennis, and they just celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary on June 12th.

It was fun however, reflecting on all the memories in my blogs.
Rember the one where I cried over Zach raping Julie (June 1st)
And the one where I yelled at J.J. Abrams for the crappy ending to Felicity (June 21st) and then apologized with the blog I wrote the next day (June 22nd)
All the meme's that Kate created (July 7th and October 27th also including the Twilight game on July 17th)
The one I wrote in praise of West Wing (July 10th)
All the fights that began between me and Kate about her moving to VA (July 17th)
The one I wrote when I first started at National Quik Cash (September 20th)
And then the most recent my very detailed discription of the Coldplay concert (November 17th)

Aw, such good times!!!

I STILL WANT MY RE-WRITE J.J. ABRAMS!!!

So a few months ago, like many others, I saw a preview for a movie called My Best Friends Girl. It had Dane Cook and Jason Biggs and Kate Hudson, has to be a cute movie right!?!

WRONG!!!

First of all it was really raunchy, I mean really really raunchy. Now don't get me wrong I love raunchy comedies, Knocked Up was pretty good, Super Bad hilarious, Forgetting Sarah Marshall LOVED IT!! I am a huge Jud Apatow fan and own most of his movies.
But this movie, I mean it was really raunchy and just not funny.
In the course of the movie you don't even come to like any of the characters. I mean I was really surprised about this because I generally like Kate Hudson and I loved the Dane Cook special that showed on HBO, but no couldn't stand either of them in this movie.
So you have Kate Hundson who is supposed to be this great girl who has only slept with 2 guys and is kind of dating Jason Biggs but she treats him like crap so she goes out with an asshole played by Dane Cook so that she can get more expierence under her belt before she settles down with a nice guy like Jason.
The only problem being that I don't buy any of that. Kate Hudson didn't do a very good job of portraying someone who had only had sex with two guys, I mean come on! And she walked all over Jason, there was no chemistry there so you couldn't buy that she was doing all of this to try to end up with him. Don't get me wrong though because Jason totally deserves to be walked over because he place a weak pathetic character who even I found annoying.
And don't get me started on Dane, he was disgusting and went way too far.
I mean going into a romantic comedy you pretty much already know that they couple most focused on will end up together, in this case Kate and Dane. But by the end they push his character so far into the asshole side that it is completly unbelievable that any girl would ever forgive him. I mean he vomits on her sisters wedding dress at the wedding and while she was having her first dance with her husband, then he comes on to her mother by dropping his pants and asking her to give him a blow job!!!
So then they have the big fight and Dane realizes he does want to be with her so he tries to make ammends and she says no and walks away. Then the movie fast forwards three months and she sees him at the bar on a date and just goes over and before you know it they are making out. I mean I can't even explain what the ending was it was just wierd.
The only reedeming thing about this movie was that Lizzy Caplan was in it. Now I recognized her at once and was immediatly home sick for The Class. The only problem was that Jason Ritter was nowhere to be found.
So today at work I looked on imdb to see what else these people have been up to, and as it turns out the director of this tragedy also did Pretty In Pink, which I love, the writer of this one hasn't done anything else, and Lizzy aparently also played Janice on Mean Girls, and did 4 episodes on Freaks and Geeks. Now I totally didn't recognize her from Mean Girls but I am really disturbed that I don't even remember her character from Freaks and Geeks. She also most recently did 6 episodes on True Blood as Amy Burley, which I do plan on renting when they finally release it on dvd.

All in all, it was good to see Lizzy again and I will deffinatly keep my eye out for her but unfortunatly Dane, Jason, and even Kate have some seriouse making it up to me to do for this one. Which is hard to believe because Almost Famouse got Kate Hudson a lot of points in my book, but no this one movie just completly cancels out all of those.

So I have decided that I need to go on a diet.

But not just any diet, I am going back to this doctor that I have seen in the past. The last time I went to her I think I lost about 40lbs if I remember correctly. That was about 3 years ago and since then I have gained 70! OUCH! For the longest time there I was litteraly eating out every meal of the day. Plus I drank Dr Pepper like none other, I rarely drank anything else and only in situations of true desperation did I ever drink water.

So anyway, I am going to see this doctor in the city, Guin Johnson, and she is putting me on this medication called Bontril. I have been on it before and never suffered any side effects and I never had any problems with addiction to the product or any withdrawl symptoms.

Here is my progress so far.

Thursday was day one, and all I really remember from that day is how hungry I was! I mean I was really starving. I was actually looking at the labels of everything I ate, trying to stay within my calorie and fat grams range that I am allowed, and eating the correct portion size, but it is all a daze because I was soooo hungry!!! Also, because I was drinking so much more water I was having to pee every 20 minutes. It was horrible!

Friday being day two wasn't so bad because I was off and so I managed to keep myself busy and distracted so I didn't notice the hunger pains as much. But they were still there. I live just over a mile away from where I work in norman, and that day I was going to loan a movie to my friend Matt who was working. So instead of driving I put on multiple layers of clothing and grab my dob Riley and we walked to the store. It took about an hour round trip, I don't actually walk that slow it was just because I had Riley with me and every time I would get up a good pace he would stop to pee on something or sniff around. But it was more fun to have him with me and by the time I got back to my apartment I had worked up a pretty good sweat considering how cold it was that day.

Saturday, today, hasn't been so bad. My hunger pains are much better in control now and my need to go to the bathroom every 20 minutes has slowed considerably. Thank God! I get off work today at 5 and I need to return a movie to Hastings, so I am thinking that when I get home I'll grab Riley again and walk there instead of driving. One of my legs feels a little tight right now but I'm not wearing very good shoes, I'm sure that once I get home and put on my new balances and stretch it out a little bit I'll be in good shape.

My next weigh in is on 1.28.09, I'll let you know how it goes.

P.S. my caffine headaches have passed as well

Last night was the long awaited Coldplay concert.
I don't even know how to begin talking about it.

I guess I'll just lay out the concert for you.
There were two opening acts. One was called Sleeping Cars? I think. I've never really heard of them but they were really good. Kind of sounded like your basic every day rock band. Like All American Rejects but not as poppy. The second was just this guy named John Hopkins. He played this techno music which sounded like the same song just lasted for a half hour. And he had this screen up that shows these graphics of wierd creaturs and strange art. It made me feel very uncomfortable by the time it was finally over. I mean I have tremendous respect for the time and talent that goes into that kind of art, and I will recognize it as a truly devoted form of art and expression, but it was just so not for me.

So anyways, then Coldplay comes out. There stage set up was just these 6 balls, five that hung across the stage and one that was further down in the audience, they were huge. At times they would be all different colors and sometimes they would have graphics on them kind of like Ink Blots, and sometimes they projected the shots of the band on stage. But because they were balls it made them look like images from a M C Escher painting. They were AWESOME!!!

They started with Violet Hill. They were wearing their kind of oldfasioned british general army costumes like in the video. Then they played Clocks, In My Place, and Speed of Sound. Then when they sang Cemeteries of London they said "And the nights over Oklahoma rang" and Chris smiled and kind of winked. It didn't flow as nicely as London does in the sentence but we all apprieciated the gesture and screemed even louder.

Then they sang the first song on the Viva La Vida cd that I don't remember the name of. Followed by 42, Fix You, Strawberry Swing, God Put A Smile On Your Face, Hardest Part, Viva La Vida, and then Lost. At the very end of Lost when Chris was singing the very last line of the song his voice broke and he started giggling, then he came back and finnished the song. So cute!

After they sang Lost they all ran off the stage, through the aisle that went through the people on the floor, then up into the stands. In our arena there were three levels and they stood in the walk way that divides the first level from the second to sing the Scientist and some country song that I think Johnny sang that I had never heard. But it was AWESOME and Chris was like "we're going to come sing to the people in the back now for a minute so those of you up by the stage if you need to go to the bathroom or make some phone calls now would be the time" He's so funny!

Then they sang Politik, when it got to the part where they go through all the give me's, Chris said "Give me a street in Oklahoma named after the Flamming Lips." Then he sang some slow song about something being too heavy for superman to lift. I had never heard it before but it sounded really good.
Then they sang Lover's in Japan. And it was AWESOME!!! During the first chorus we look up and this confetti is falling over the people on the floor. Then it started to fall down on us. And at first we were like "oh cool confetti" but when it reached us we could see it was paper butterflies. But millions of them. Then it stopped during the next verse, but when they got back to the chorus it started raining butterfies again and didn't stop until the song was over. It looked amazing!! And Amanda Rachel and I all were scooping tons of them up to take home with us.
Then they sang Death and All His Friends and came back to sing Yellow as the encore.

It was so amazing that I kid you not, there were times when I wanted to cry. I just love them so much. The only thing that made it sad was that Kate and Aaron weren't there. It is because of Kate that I love Coldplay as much as I do. This time a year ago I still hated them. And it was only because of Kate's persistence that she finally beat me down and made me listen to them. And all she had to do was give me just a little taste, only a few songs and I was hooked. But if it wasn't for Kate, Coldplay wouldn't even be a part of my life now. Which means Guy wouldn't be a part of my life now!!! God that is a scary thought. So I don't know how I will ever be able to pay Kate back for that. What it basically comes down to is that for the rest of our lives any time I don't want to listen to a certain band or if there is really just about anything that I don't want to do, all Kate has to do is just look at me and say "Come on Courtney, I gave you Coldplay, just do it" and I'll have to be like "Yeah you're right, you did give me Coldplay, I do owe you." and then I'll just have to do it because I do owe her.

I didn't want to really get on and write a whole entry about how my life has been going since Tuesday.

But since I have written about my grandmother I thought it would be fitting to include in my blog what I plan to say at her wake on Monday.

 

I have learned many things from my grandmother.
She taught me how to sew, to cook, to drive.
When I was little I dreamed of being a writer. And one Christmas she gave me a box filled with notepads, journals, pens, pencils, erasers, dictionaries.
Everything I would need to write.
This was the habit of both my grandparents, every time my sisters or I had a dream they made sure we would have everything we would need to pursue them.
As I grew older my dream of writing faded and was pushed aside.
Until about a year ago when I was discussing these very memories with my aunt Tammy.
My grandmother inturupted the conversation to say that she still believed I would be a writer.
After all that time she still believed in me, she could still see it in me.
So what I want to say to her now is simply this;

                 I will always be grateful for you.
                 I will never forget everything you taught me.
                 I will never forget your overwhelming support.
                 I will never forget how much of you is a part of me.
                 But must of all I will never forget that when it comes to my dreams,
                 You gave me everything I'll need.

My grandmother is dying.

Her kidney's have failed her. The rest of her body is shutting down.

She was doing better. She was still weak but there were moments when her mind was back. She recognized me.

The doctor's say that when it gets to the point that there organs start to fail, they have anywhere from dying tomorrow to making it another month. My mom said it's more like 48hours.

I'm going to go see her tonight.

I'm numb now. I'm not panicked or scared. I'm sitting here trying to form my thoughts, but I don't have any. I'm not ready, but there is nothing else to do.

Or maybe the reason I can't feel anything is because I don't believe it. I was all ready for her to pass 2 months ago. Maybe my body is just refusing to get all worked up until something actually happens.

Still, her kidney's have failed.

I can't think about it anymore.
