Brave new world

Well, not really new. I'm not a stranger to blogging, per se, but back in the day when I used to do it obsessively it was "LJ-ing." I can't really decide which is easier to say.

So, I just made a big production out of "coming back" (ish) to livejournal, but I feel like I've outgrown it. Yesterday I was reading a bunch of old entries from my freshman year, and...good lord. How thankful am I to be beyond the year of 2004? Jesus.

Beautiful Sterling has had a blog for awhile, and I always thought that it made her cooler than everyone else in the world. Well, one of the many things that make her cooler.

So I'm mooching off of her pioneering Internet efforts and simultanously turning over a new virtual leaf in my Internet life (while I turn over a vast CARPET of leaves in my real life) by presenting...my shiney new blog! Yay!

(Though I will still visit my LJFriends. Especially Val, because she is my crack.)

It's a little ugly at the moment because I'm just playing with colors, and a little plain because, let's be serious, I"m at work and therefore my brain isn't functioning on the higher levels. As for the title...I imagine it's temporary. It comes from something really random you-had-to-be-there funny that happened junior year that cause Carol and I (or was it Kendra and I?) to pee in our pants laughing and decide that Rainbow Chip Frosting is a good metaphor for...well, me. It's hard to explain.


Tonight is very exciting...I'm having a date with myself! Not in the creepy way that it sounds. I fiiiiiinally got The Merchant of Venice in from Netflix after the post office had been holding my mail hostage while the whole change of address deal got sorted out, and so my plans for the night include:

-Some kind of small but yummy dinner
-Healthy(ish) popcorn!
-Me, Shakespeare, and Pacino (and Joseph Fiennes...yummy)

And other semi-productive things I can't think of at the moment that probably relate to getting my act together on my portfolio. I must buy one this weekend!

Speaking of the weekend, my mommy's coming to visit tomorrow! YAY! We're going to meet each other halfway in Williamsburg and we will finally, finally have the breakfast at Chickahominy House we didn't get to have when she & Jim came for Butler. Then we're going to go to the Living Museum, which I just went to last weekend, but I know Mom will adore it so I really want to take her there. Then, who knows?

And last thing before I go ahead and post this sucker and then peace out of here...I had my first dinner party in my NEW NEW NEW beautiful apartment last night! The gorgeous Caroline Dudley, the sunny Lisa Johanson, and the hairy Jordan McArthur all came over and we had mediocre chicken cacciatore (when Lauren & I did it with pork, it did not taste so olive-y!) and yummy wine. We had to end it kind of early, because Caroline had a Grey's date and I had an Office date with Kendra and I'm sure Lisa and Jordan had some actual adult, useful things to do, but I'm hoping we can all get together again and talk the night away sometime soon. It was wonderful to see all of them and to finally be able to "entertain" in a place where I feel comfortable.

Anyway. That's all for now. Look out, blogspot.
