Melinda_B's Journal

Our first child will be a girl! Exactly what we wanted! YAY! We do have ultrasound pictures but dan has to upload them.

So all I have to say is "Damn! Airfare is hella expensive for two people." Going to Texas for Thanksgiving and Going to Massachusetts for Christmas. I'm very happy with this years holiday plans. We are also not doing anything for New Years Eve, but basking in each others company. we need new pictures.

So this weekend I will be heading down to San Diego with Jaime. Natalie was supposed to go but she decided not to go. Ann should be meeting us there and we will be staying with Farbod. I'm very excited to see my good friends down in SoCal. YAY! Will update with pictures next week.

By the by, not really enjoying my new job. I feel like the other people think I'm below them because I have to sit at the front desk. My boss basically told me to not over achieve and to just "triage" the calls. It's so stupid. So I sit here thinking about my old job. yeah they hella underpaid me (which they are now paying for), but at least I had moon and I knew a lot about it (I guess being there for five-six years would make you knowledgeable).

Sometimes I just want to walk out and never come back. It is super hard to wake up in the morning.

Today is my last day with Summer Sessions YAY!!

Today is Dan's 27th birthday.


Side note I received this from the most useless person in the world: "I would very much like to see you today to wish you well, and to give you an opportunity to tell me the specific circumstances that motived you to seek a new job."

As if I would just spill my guts to this man who was never on my side.

On page 312 I have been reading at work and nobody seems to care. Well actually there aren't a lot of people around to care to begin with.

So I just can't get this song out of my head. I don't know why it moves me.

A part of me could never believe two people make one, but this song is just so touching. Like we start out as a half never a whole. We started out as two people contected and we were cut in half and we are searching for that person we were supposed to be stuck to.

Lyrics - Origin Of Love Lyrics

When the earth was still flat,
And the clouds made of fire,
And mountains stretched up to the sky,
Sometimes higher,
Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs.
They had two sets of arms.
They had two sets of legs.
They had two faces peering
Out of one giant head
So they could watch all around them
As they talked; while they read.
And they never knew nothing of love.
It was before the origin of love.

The origin of love

And there were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the sun.
And similar in shape and girth
Were the children of the earth.
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one.
And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon.
They were part sun, part earth
Part daughter, part son.

The origin of love

Now the gods grew quite scared
Of our strength and defiance
And Thor said,
"I'm gonna kill them all
With my hammer,
Like I killed the giants."
And Zeus said, "No,
You better let me
Use my lightening, like scissors,
Like I cut the legs off the whales
And dinosaurs into lizards."
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh,
Said, "I'll split them right down the middle.
Gonna cut them right up in half."
And then storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire

And then fire shot down
From the sky in bolts
Like shining blades
Of a knife.
And it ripped
Right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun
And the moon
And the earth.
And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole,
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind us of the price we pay.
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane,
To scatter us away,
In a flood of wind and rain,
And a sea of tidal waves,
To wash us all away,
And if we don't behave
They'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping round on one foot
And looking through one eye.

Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It's the story of
The origin of love.
That's the origin of love.

Gung Hay Fat Choy!!

Thinking about another tattoo, don't know what though. Angelina Jolie makes me want to get more. I am thinking either my right shoulder or the nape of my neck.


Interesting things about tattoos:

Among Americans with tattoos, 34% said having a tattoo has made them feel sexier. Interestingly, more tattooed females (42%) feel this way than males (25%).

Many Americans who do not have tattoos said they think that people with tattoos are less attractive (42%), less sexy (36%) and less intelligent (31%). They also think that those with tattoos are more rebellious (57%). In contrast, only 29% of those with tattoos think they are more rebellious.

The reason cited most often for feeling regret about getting tattoos was "because of the person's name in the tattoo" (16%).
