The all-new 2006 model Mel. In stores soon.
I'm getting new hair on Thursday. I've got the style picked out. It's a far cry from anything I have ever done before. Ever. It should be fun to see how people react to it. They'll be all like, "Whoa! Who's that?" And it'll be me. Only they won't recognize me. It'll be good fun, I swear.Also, I just made my appointment for my new tattoo on Friday. My friend's Melissa and Patricia are coming with me. They will also be getting inked. I am taking their tattoo virginity away from them. Score! The design for my new tattoo kicks butt in all kinds of ways. I can not wait. It will be fun. Check out the MySpace place to see it. Pictures will be posted all over the place once I actually get it. I can't wait. Check back next week for the all-new Mel. It'll be exciting, I guarantee it. Breakfast tomorrow morning with Steph and Dustin and Natalie and probably Jo and Pete and Dave. Steph leaves tomorrow afternoon. That's not cool. Good night, Internet-land.
Good morning, good morning, good morning! It's time to rise and shine!
Tim Horton's is always better at 3:00 in the morning. Hanging out with friends is good any time of the day. It's just a little more entertaining when the workers and other patrons are laughing at you. By the way, Jo, I passed out as soon as I got home. Thanks! My cousin-in-law, Vasanthy, is pregnant. 3 months pregnant! I'm too excited for her and Matt. They'll have ubercute babies!! I'm going to Germany for Christmas. I'm pretty excited for that. I get to see Markus and Margit's kids. That'll be fun. I've seen pictures and a little video footage, they're adorable. Germany in the winter is beautiful. I can't wait to spend Christmas with everyone...and new year's!! Now I'm going to shower because I smell and I need to wake up a little more. Then I'm going to harass Jo. *Insert evil laugh here*. Wow, I'm so tired.
In those jeans....
I'm going to see Matchbook Romance on October 28th in Pittsburgh. Then I might end up staying for Halloween. I'm pretty excited about that. Yay. So is my little cousin, Brian. He's my youngest cousin and he's been asking when I'm heading down to Pittsburgh again 'cause he misses me. Aw! That's so cute! He misses me. So, I went shopping yesterday with my mom and Nat and realized something about myself that I never really knew before: I like shopping. I think it's because I've lost a noticeable amount of weight and I don't get really pissed off anymore when I try on clothes. Instead, I take my time and enjoy it! I know it sounds weird, but when people look at you and you know they're probably thinking "Wow, those jeans look great on her" instead of "Oh, God! Please take those off!" it feels kind of good... YES! I probably spent a little more than I should have, but that's okay. I needed new clothes. My old ones are starting to look very, very baggy on me. I love it. Natalie walked in the house this morning after work, gave me and up and down look and said, "You look so hot". It was a little disturbing, 'cause she's my little sister, but it's a nice little ego-boost at the same time. Score!I also bought Natasha Bedingfield's CD yesterday. It's called "Unwritten". She's got a gorgeous voice and her songs are beautiful. They're not all about boys and superficial things. It's a good CD. Five stars from me. Labor Day weekend is coming up. Amy might come for that weekend. That would be good. It would make me very, very happy. Indeed. Also, I'm gonna have to plan a trip to Toronto soon. Hm. I'm excited. I've been to Toronto before, but when I was younger with my family. And it was mostly just airport stuff or going to the Consulat there. So, I'm excited. It should be a good time, I do believe. Maybe I'll stop in Hamilton on the way home? I don't know. Only if Jo's there, I guess. Wouldn't that be GRAND??? It sure would. That is all for now, I guess. I'm going to clean my room. I do that a lot lately. I work so hard to clean it only to have it messy a couple of days later. Why do I bother? I'm so weird.
I hear music playing....
There is only one word to describe my evening: magical. I still can't believe it, to be honest. I was not expecting anything like this whatsoever. We met down by the water at 8:00ish (it was supposed to be 7:00 or 7:30 but Mel wasn't too punctual...). The date ended around 4:30. So I guess you could say it went very well. We talked about pretty much anything and everything under the sun. From our exes, to politics (yesss!), different cultures, parenting and, yes, even colitis. The bonus there was that I didn't have to explain colitis to him. He just knew what it was. I loved that. It was amazing. We sat down at the Marina for hours and hours talking and laughing the night away. I have never smiled so big and laughed so hard so much. It was amazing. We seemed to really click. We were both really just expecting to get drinks and then be off. I honestly thought I'd be home around 12:30 or so. But we surprised each other. It was the most comfortable date I've ever been on. And by "comfortable", I do not mean "safe". I mean, Mel was free to be Mel. With all of her Kuchta quirks!! It was amazing. We made fun of each other, laughed at each other's corny jokes and were both amazed by how well everything ended going. There's so much more to the story, but I am so exhausted. I need to sleep. Here's how my story of the evening ends: I will mostly likely be heading up to Toronto in a little while for a visit. He'll cook for me (he cooks too!!!) and we'll develop pictures together the good old fashioned way...in a dark room!!! I'm going to be introduced to sushi (the food, not my cat) and get a wonderful tour of Toronto by the cutest tour guide ever! What a fabulous evening.....
The weekend forecast.
So....Tonight, I'm going to the Tomato Fest's beer tent. Yippeee...... I'm definitely not as excited about this as certain other people. Maybe I'm just getting too old for that kind of stuff. Frankly, I'd much rather sit on the patio at the Seacliffe and have a glass of wine. I really think I am getting old. Oh boy..... So, anyways. Beer tent tonight. Oh....joy....no, really.......... My friend Amanda's coming to get me soon and then we're off. Should be swell. Chances are I won't be staying too long because 1) there will be many people there that I really don't want to see, 2) I want to get up early tomorrow to get some stuff done and I'm expecting a phone call in the morning, 3) I just don't like huge crowds, 4) it's supposed to rain. But tomorrow....Oooooh tomorrow!! "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you're only a daaaaaay awaaaaaaay!!!!" I'm looking forward to tomorrow in a nervous sort of way. I'm going on a date!! Whoop whoop! First time in, well, I don't know, but it's definitely been a while!!! I'm pretty stoked. It's with a guy I had a crush on in grade 9 which is a bit crazy. He doesn't live in Leamington anymore which is a huge bonus! I'm really looking forward to it. Yay. Ummm....I think that's it. Except for Jo rocks. She used a quote of mine on her blog. Yep. I rule. There's a link over there >, so ch-ch-check it out. She's definitely awesome. Sooo....peace out. I'm going to the beer tent with all the other Leamington winners. Yeah!
I'm gettin' freakified!!
I just got official confirmation this afternoon from my mother that I am, in fact, permitted to get my fourth tattoo without getting kicked out as long as I follow certain rules. I'll tell you what those rules are now. She has to approve of the design (which she does), it can't be too big, it can't be in a very visible location. This is good. I'm getting a freesia (a very pretty flower) which represents innocence. Since I'm still relatively innocent. Anyways, it's going on my foot. OWIE! I definitely can't wait! I'm going to get it next time I'm in Pittsburgh. Excellent! Just thought I'd share my extreme excitement with everyone. Yay! Happy Mel!
I hate scary movies...
I just watched "Saw" with the pink-haired Spanish monkey (Pete), the Monster and Jenn B. I hated it because it scared me. However, there were moments that made us laugh hysterically. The acting is HORRIBLE!!! Even so, didn't like it too much. I don't recommend it to anyone. Ugh.
