Dan and I went to Slumdog Millionaire finally on Friday! It was really good, there were some parts that were hard to watch..but I loved loved loved it! Of course it made me feel horribly guilty, but it made me experience every emotion and I loved that. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you do!
Which brings me to my next point. What is people's movie etiquette? Yeah, I know i am picky, but seriously it is bad...
1. When the theater is pretty empty, is it necessary to sit DIRECTLY in front of or behind someone. The answer is NO. If there is room, please respect the personal space of others. Thank you.
2. We are all watching the movie and are hearing and seeing the same things you are. There is no need to repeat quotes or state the obvious of what is happening. I am glad you are enjoying the movie, but keep it to yourself.
3. Movie times are posted for a reason and the don't change. I understand everyone once in awhile you might be running late. But please, do not walk up and down the stairs on the side aisle discussing loudly where you are going to sit. Take the first seat you find and take it. Also, you probably don't have to sit by all of your friends at the movie, if there are 10 of you and theater is packed, it is ok to separate. You are there to watch the movie not chat with your friends.
4. I know movies are great places for dates, but please save the PDA for after. If I can hear you making out over the movie, you should probably leave and get a room.
5. If you do end up having someone sit directly in front of you or behind you. Please be kind and don't put your feet on their seat. And if you are in front of someone please do not knock your seat into the person behind you's knees. Thank you!
Thank you for hearing me out!!
Now on a lighter note, I saw this and it looked like fun and I had some time to kill while Dan corrected tests!
1.Pick 25 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess. Tag 20 of your friends.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
1. No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
2. It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
3. I love them redheads!
4. It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. I've outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now. She's fast enough for you old man
5. You can't do this to me, I'm an AMERICAN.
6. Oh, no, we're not asking you to lose weight. That would be illegal. We just want you to be healthy, by eating less. So go home, weigh yourself on a scale, write than down. Then subtract 20 from that number. And weigh that. Yeah.
7. Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?
8. Like I'd marry you! You'd be the meanest wife ever, okay? And I know that you weren't bored that day because there was a lot of stuff on TV, and then 'The Blair Witch Project' was coming on Starz and you were like 'I haven't seen this since it came out and if so we should watch it' and then 'but oh, no, we should just make out instead la la la'
9. At least you'll never be a vegetable - even artichokes have hearts.
10. When I was growing up, I knew I was different. The other girls were blonde and delicate, and I was a swarthy six-year-old with sideburns.
11. Pandora can't go back into the box - he only comes out.
12.---: You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.
----: You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die.
13. What's normal? Those damn Dawson's River kids, sleeping in each other's beds and whatnot?
14. I'm very drunk and I intend on getting still drunker before this evening's over.
15. ------: Well, Brian, this is a very nutritious lunch. All the food groups are represented. Did your mom marry Mr. Rogers?
------: Uh, no. Mr. Johnson.
16. No, not I! Aright, she started it, aright? Because she was like "I hate my job, I'm gonna burn this mother down!" And I said "You better not... you better not!"
17. If I could only have one food for the rest of my life? That's easy, Pez, cherry-flavored Pez. No question about it.
18. When somebody asks me a question, I tell them the answer.
19. Neil! I wanna party with you! I WANNA PARTY WITH YOU!
20. It costs more to have someone born than to have someone killed!
21. Listen to me. I need to you say the line. I need you to say "I will piss on the bones of your ancestors"...
22. Sand is overrated. It's just tiny, little rocks.
23. Hey cowgirls, see the grass? Don't eat it.
24. Three dimes, a hundred dollar bill and 87 ones.
25. My apologies. I have a nephew named Anfernee, and I know how mad he gets when I call him Anthony. Almost as mad as I get when I think about the fact that my sister named him Anfernee.

Ugh!
I don't know what to write about. My life is not that exciting right now and is consumed with all things wedding-planning oriented, so I am not going to bore you with that...
The weather is starting to warm up and I am super excited about that!
Also I am so happy that I am going to have some friends come out and visit me, FINALLY! Abbie and Alexis are coming on the 20th and Talitha and Darren are coming the 27th. Ever since I have moved here I feel like I have missed out on a lot of things with my friends and that my friendships have gotten weaker because of the distance that has been put between us...Stupid OHIO! I guess that is life though. I am very glad to see my friends again =]!

My attempt at a T Shirt!
In light of all the Office T-shirt making going on-I have to decided to jump on board!
My shirt is based on the episode when Michael hits Meredith with his car and when Dwight goes to visit here in the hospital. He says,"As a farmer, I know that when an animal is sick, sometimes the right thing to do is to put it out of its misery. With the electricity we're using to keep Meredith alive we could power a small fan for 2 days. You tell me what's unethical."
Here is the shirt:

A new found love!
I know I may be a little behind the times, but recently I have become acquainted with podcasts!
I love them because they help work go a little faster, plus they make me laugh, and they actually teach me something.
The reason why it has taken me until now to listen to them is because I thought they cost money...oh boy was I wrong!
Currently I am listening to:
Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! I love it because it is smart and witty and catches me up on news events.
That's What She Said-This podcast talks about episodes of The Office. I like it because it plays clips of the show. The hosts really tend to over analyze everything on the show-but I still do find it entertaining and interesting.
Stuff You Should Know- I love this podcast because I learn a lot from it. They cover topics from redheads to exorcism to bootlegging.
Legal Lad's Quick and Dirty Tips-These are short little lessons about law-probably not interesting to everyone but I like it!
60 Second Psych-Only one minute long-but super interesting!
Mugglecast-This one is for Harry Potter Lovers. I haven't listened to it yet but I have it on my i pod ready to go for this week!
What podcasts are you listening too??

Here comes another one...
25 things unimportant about me - write your info. then pass it on to 25 of your friends
1. I have a crazy memory. I can remember random events, quotes, and people's names. I can't remember faces though, and I often forget what people look like if I haven't seen them in awhile!
2. I get emotionally invested into movies, TV shows, songs, etc. very easily. I think that is why it hard for me to watch very violent movies...
3. I absolutely do not like it when people dye their hair red. It also really bothers me when people ask if I dye my hair....You weren't born with it for a reason....
4. I like ugly things, shoes, purses, socks, and jewelry-because I know no one else will have it.
5. There are a lot of noises that drive me CRAZY! Chewing, chomping gum, nail clippers, Styrofoam, whistling, silverware on plates...I think I have hypersensitive hearing.
6. I like watching college sports-I am even starting to get mad when my team doesn't win....
7. I like expensive jeans. I believe they are worth the money. I cannot wear any other jeans (ie Gap, Old Navy, American Eagle) because I can tell they are not as good of quality and they don't fit as well.
8. I am not good at small talk. It makes me nervous and I am always thinking about what to say next and hoping the person can't see through how really uninterested I am...
9. I feel horribly guilty about a lot of social justice issues, even though I don't have much control over it. For example I will not shop at Wal-Mart because of sweatshop labor, and I still feel guilty about ever shopping there. Same with clothing stores, when I find out I shop at stores where there are bad working conditions my stomach drops....it makes me feel bad both emotionally and physically...
10. I am horrible at foreshadowing and predicting endings of things...I did NOT see that coming!
11. Ever since I moved to Columbus I have gotten horrible road rage-I cannot stand that someone else's slow/horrible driving is wasting my time!
12. I used to practice red carpet interviews, Oscar acceptance speeches and other things famous people do when I was little. I still like to strike a red carpet pose every once and awhile!
13. I really don't like the Dave Matthew's Band-I think they may be a little overrated...
14. Most Christmas songs annoy me. Especially Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time. I get annoyed when I hear Christmas music before Thanksgiving.
15. I still make wishes on falling stars and when the time is 11:11
16. I usually won't let big SUVs or cars with W04 stickers cut in front of me in traffic! (Sorry!)
17. I love True Crime stories! Dateline, 48 hours and Anne Rule books will always win me over!
18. I like looking over at other people in their cars at red lights and seeing what they are up to!
19. I still want to go to Africa someday and promote AIDS awareness.
20. I always wanted to have a makeover-like on what not to wear and am curious what they would do to me!
21. I have a hard time figuring out what my body shape and face shape are....Also I don't know if I am 5'8 or 5'9...
22. Sometimes I feel unexciting and inexperienced because I haven't left the United States, I crossed the border into Mexico once-but I really don't count it.
23. I don't like jazz music all that much...
24. I hold myself to what I consider pretty high standards and often hold others to these standards. I guess you could say I am judgmental or critical. I am aware of this fault and continue to work on it daily.
25. One of my biggest fears is being completely alone or lost and no one can find and not being able to get myself out of the situation...Or being another person that just disappears and not having anyone know what happened...

I'm just here for a check up!
I have been consumed with wedding planning and other boring things and to spare you all from having to hear about it-I haven't blogged in awhile.
Dan and I are getting most of the plans nailed down and I am super excited-only 8 months to go! We are still trying to think of where to go on a honeymoon...Any suggestions?
As far as my resolutions:
1. To keep working out regularly-I am still working out at the gym and I am enjoying it! Also when I went to try on my dress before I bought it-I had to try on a size smaller-because it was too big!!
2. To go to bed earlier-I am also keeping up with this one-I still think I am more of a night person and I don't know if this will ever change!
3. To reconnect with the great outdoors, by hiking, camping etc.-I am waiting for things to warm up a little bit before I attempt this one-I will keep you posted!
4. To recycle more/waste less-Dan and I bought recycling bins and reusable grocery bags- we are being more conscientious of what we buy and use and what can be reused..
5. To get my wedding planned with as less stress as possible-So far so good!
6. To keep thinking of resolutions.... I want to read more (any suggestions?), Watch less TV (I am working on it), Be better about blogging (I will try I promise)...
That is all for now!!!

It's gonna be a Happy New Year!!
Happy 2009!!
I had a great Christmas and New Year! I got to go home to Iowa for a few days and despite the Iowa weather spoiling some of my plans, it was a great trip! For New Year's Dan and I went to a friend's house and had a laid back but super fun night. My birthday included, dinner, friends and going to a bar, it was also a great time!
I loved all my presents this year, but one that was my favorite was my Phyllis mug. She is my favorite from The Office.
Dan got me another great gift for my birthday. He got me a CD from the band The Stars and a t shirt the designed for The Yellow Bird Project, which all the proceeds went to a women's domestic violence shelter. I thought it was a great gift. Another site that does something similar is TOMS SHOES for every pair of shoes you buy the donate a pair to a child. I am thinking of doing it for me and Dan. I love the idea that buying something for me helps someone else out-I think I am going to work on that more this year...
Speaking of changes for the new year, here are some resolutions:
1. To keep working out regularly
2. To go to bed earlier
3. To reconnect with the great outdoors, by hiking, camping etc.
4. To recycle more/waste less
5. To get my wedding planned with as less stress as possible
6. To keep thinking of resolutions....
