facebook junkie

When did I ever become a facebook junkie? I’ve got to admit, I’ve been like this for a while. But WHEN did it happen? I get up and I check facebook and VKontakte (the Russian facebook). When I get home from work, I check facebook and VKontakte. I’ve started to give up on the VKontakte because my dear friends I visited in Ukraine haven’t been sending me much love in the past week and a half. I’ll stick to my loving facebook friends. Hmmm… Maybe I need to find that second job so I have more stuff going on. ☺

So the I Love My Ducks guys totally crack me up. I just showed my mom the Return of the Quack video... and then this was underneath. Um, gross... and also HILAROUS!

the perfect guy

So as shown in yesterday’s blog post, I like television characters. The truth is that I love television characters so much, I think they should/could be real people. The other day I came up with my version of the perfect guy. He would be as smart as Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory, as funny as Chandler Bing from Friends with the looks of James Franco from Freaks and Geeks.

My father told me such a guy does not exist. Hmph. Maybe I’ll have to figure something else out.

FRIENDS

I have seen every episode of Friends. It’s true. The Vegas episode happened at the end of my sophomore year of high school. My parents didn’t like the show so I would watch it in my room on their black and white TV. The next year, we got a mini satellite dish and my parents ended up watching it with me. I watched it at 5:00 and at 5:30 and we’d watch the new episodes every Thursday at 8 PM. In college, I skipped the basketball games to watch Friends. This was, of course, way before Hulu existed and we could watch current episodes online. Sure I missed out on one of my university’s main events, but I stayed connected to my loyal friends.

There’s something about Chandler’s nonstop jokes and Phoebe’s clairvoyance that makes me feel at home. I’ve always wanted a group of friends like the ones in Friends. But I’ve always moved around too much or been too busy to constantly hang out with a large group of friends.

I’m watching Friends right now. It’s been the perfect Saturday: watching Friends, editing photos, chatting on Russian facebook, and baking. Ah. Good day at home.

Eleven reasons 2011 is going to be awesome:

1. I’m going to eat gumbo in New Orleans over Spring Break.

2. I work with some really cool people so going to work is actually fun.

3. I’m a year smarter than I was in 2010.

4. I am actually going to the dentist for a regular check up this year.

5. It’s the year of the rabbit. Rabbits are also called bunnies. My last name is Bunn so obviously it’s my year.

6. With the wrinkles of yet another year, I won’t have to pull out my ID as much each time I order a beer.

7. I’m able to enjoy the beauty of Oregon.

8. I discovered How I Met Your Mother at the end of 2010 and now my new love affair can continue into the New Year.

9. The final Harry Potter movie is coming out.

10. I’m learning how to knit, embroider, and sew.

11. I’ve fully committed myself to the Democratic Party and am loving it.

Happy New Year! (four days late)

2011

It has been ten years since I left high school. It’s been almost six since I graduated college. I’ve known my friends in Ukraine for five years. This is crazy. When I was younger, I always wanted the days to go faster so I could enjoy my weekends. I wanted to be able to hang out with my siblings without any distractions of school and homework. But of course, my sibs had friends and hobbies that kept them from my agenda.

In 2011, I know a little more than when I was little Rece. I know that we only get one life. We have to live our lives as if there is no tomorrow. We should be doing the things we want to do NOW and spending time with the people we care about. I finally made it back to Ukraine over Christmas break and I realized how much I love the people and the culture over there. But my life is here in America. And so… I will write more. I will call more often, and I will save money to visit my dear friends.

I didn’t want to make any real new years resolutions this year, mainly because every year I make resolutions, I only follow through with about one or two of them. So in 2011, I aim to be happy. That’s it. I want to be happy at work, in my personal life, with my family, with my money, etc. As long as I’m happy, I’m sure the other things will be as they should be, right? ☺

Happy New Year friends!
