Have a Nice Day!

amberspeaks — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 22:48:11 GMT

So every conversation that I have at work on the phone I end with the same four words: have a nice day. Something I say at least 40 times a day. At least.
And how many times do people say you too or anything like that? Umm maybe 5.
So what am I saying? I'm saying I want people to say it back.
In other news I almost died when Cody Lindley was in the bottom 2. It was not a good moment. I almost threw up. Thank heavens Susan got the Lucci out! From pure agony to pure bliss in 2 seconds.

I voted today

amberspeaks — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 23:22:59 GMT

Yes siree bob. I braved the polls and I voted. And I'll admit it...in the pres campaign I voted for McCain and Palin. Not because I'm a republican because I am not a republican. And not because I dislike Obama because I totally like him. I had my reasons and they were good enough for me. And in the end obama won which is exciting. And congratulations to all who voted. Now I can watch a results show tomorrow where I don't need to worry about electoral colleges and delegates and the like. Dwts will be back on tomorrow. And yes I know its not more important. But it sure is more fun and people fight less about dwts than they do the president. GO CODY! And edyta.

OH MY HEXIC

amberspeaks — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:17:17 GMT

After over a year of playing hexic I Amber Nielsen have finally won one round of that beautiful hexagonal game. I feel as proud as a peacock. Are peacocks proud? If yes then I mean that. If not then I am as proud as some thing else that is very proud.
I'm waiting for my ride home now and the vending machine is making an impossibly creepy noise. Pooh and its pitch dark outside. Creep factor 1000. Not as creepy as the day that it sounded like ghosts were riding in the elevators. And not like nice happy casper the friendly variety of ghosts either. I'm talking the shadow demon ghosts from Ghost in stealth mode ghosts.
Well I'm off to play dodgeball now. Have fun.

The Black Lung

amberspeaks — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 10:08:26 GMT

It would seem that I have what they refer to in mining circles as "the black lung". Or in cotton milling circles "white lung".
Now you may be a cynic and say "BLACK LUNG MY EYE! You have a cold you big fat whiner liar!" But that's just rude. And maybe a little bit accurate. But it doesn't change the fact that I am very grouchy about it.
In other ailments I have acid reflux. And I hate it. For those of you who do not suffer from the pain and discomfort I can only say that I hope some day you do because it's not fair if you don't have to. Haha. But seriously I hate you. And to those of you who do suffer...isn't it terrible!
In other news...last week Cloris Leachman got the boot on DWTS. Not cool. She's 80 billion times better La Lucci. So I am still pretty pissed about that. But Cody Lindley is still on so i'm a happy camper.

In other news.... I love this Hamster! I want that hamster!

Navy and black...okay I get it...but black and WHITE!!!!

amberspeaks — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 07:20:50 GMT

Well...it would appear I'm stupid. Check out what greeted me this morning as I got on the elevator at work.
Yeah pretty much...

Take that Cassandra

This is just to show my sister who runs parrfamilia.blogspot.com that my blogging capabilities are better.

Napping for far too long...

amberspeaks — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 01:30:29 GMT

Well here I am. It is 2:30 in the morning and here I am... Awake. Thinking oddly enough about buying myself a new phone. Who knows why.

I want to love you madly

amberspeaks — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:22:07 GMT

In every woman's life there comes a time when she must realize that she is desperately seeking a male more than a friend. I have reached that point. Last night I had this dream where I was not the possesser of a repelant nature but was in fact attached. This is not an uncommon thing. I often dream that I am romantically involved with Mr Nameless face. However last night The Mr TBD and I were like in a fight. And we pretty much broke up. How pathetic and sad am I that my dream relationships have become dysfunctional. It was mas no bueno. And I suppose things could be worse. MUCH MUCH WORSE! But still. I've been pissed all morning. Because ________ was all breaking up with me. Not cool. I literally NEED not just want NEED to get a boyf or at the very least find some male to kiss me.
In other news. 4-10s. I am pretty excited about that. And Batman. I am so going to get to see midnight showing madness until I harf from lack of sleep. But BATMAN! woot. It is the best of the best.
But seriously if you know any rich single motivated young men who are handsome and kind and have a secret desire to date the girl from Hairspray....send them my way.

NOT IT!

amberspeaks — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 12:39:03 GMT

It has come to the attention of this writer that every day she gets to play a very exciting of hide and go seek with the cleaning lady who works in her cubicle. My garbage can is in a different and strange place every morning. It really is quite fun actually. I didn't really realize how large and diverse my cubicle was. And I can just picture the cleaning lady coming in at night and just plotting where she'll hide it next. Under the chair perhaps. Behind this filing cabinet. In a drawer? I tell you this can be no accident. There is real intent. And I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE it!
In other news i really want a taco or burrito yet am stuck with a turkey sandwich. Is there no justice in the world. Oh no it's worse than i thought. Ham. And I believe some sort of funky white cheese. It makes one SHUDDER!
But in good news...it IS so you think you can dance tonight. So it is going to be a good day any way.

Always the Bridesmaid...Never the Bride

amberspeaks — Thu, 22 May 2008 09:44:00 GMT

Oh David Archuleta! Totally shafted. Runner up in both star search and american idol. He's quickly becoming the Susan Lucci of reality talent shows. Just like Amanda! From Survivor. Oh it's been a disappointing season of reality television for me. Well except for the "full-figured" Whitney on ANTM. Oh well. And I did like me some Christi on DWTS. Terrific. Well all I can say is ARCHIE We Can Work It Out if you just Imagine all the Angels who voted for you. It's been a Long and Winding Road filled with Smokey Mountain Memorie. With You it wasn't just another opportunity to Shop Around. It was in fact Another Day in Paradise. David Archuleta You're the Voice that makes America want to stay In This Moment. When You Believe that we will Stand By [You] and will Love [You] Tender we know that our friendship with last Longer than this stupid partially-rigged competition. And So It Goes that we will have to wait for your goodness to be released. Sweet Caroline. (I couldn't think of a clever way to work that one in.) Alright I'm off to stab myself in the ears because undoubtedly I'm going to be hearing snippets of flat/sharp David Slimy Cook on the radio eventually.

This is a test of my blogging from my blackberry. Imagine how much blogging I could do with this sort of power. Muah ha ha. Internet beware!

You'd Better Hold On Tight Spider Monkey

amberspeaks — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 08:29:52 GMT

EEEEEK!!!! I love Twilight Movie. No joke I dreamed the room where James is trying to kill Bella. The room that's in the movie. Dreamed it. This movie is officially the new love of my life. Sigh. Whimper. Sigh. DECEMBER COME SWIFTLY!

It's good

amberspeaks — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 09:24:37 GMT

So I love Enchanted. And I love the Chipmunk. "It's gooooood" Oh my nothing is funnier. I want a pantomimist chipmunk NOW. So I had a dream last night that I adopted a little blond baby. Weird. And today for breakfast I made myself scrambled eggs and took them to go in a red plastic disposable cup. Nice. But seriously. In all good newsness I don't owe money in taxes. Wahoo. We thought I did. But then we redid it. And I don't. Yay. That's $80 bucks I just saved. Terrific. So here's some happiness that makes me happy. Enjoy. It's GOOOOOD!!! Plus dreamy James Marsden.

If wishes were chocolate

amberspeaks — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 19:43:00 GMT

then I'd double my chocolate intake.
It's been an extremely long day. I have a cold. And I'm tired. And I have a cold. I weep for me. But here I am faithful-ish (sorry I missed) as ever.
I'm preparing to file my tax return today. I truly wish that I was going to get my taxes back. But whatever. I have decided that I am going to watch You Can't Take It With You every tax season. James Stewart is the coolest guy I've ever seen. I wish that he were around my age. Then we could be in love. Instead of just me being in love with him.
I'm extremely grateful for water today. Watching a tv show where they don't have food and water makes you really want to have food storage as well. Oh and a generator. And like an electric fence surrounding my food. And water. Lots of water. And I need to learn the Macgyver move to make ice. Oh and I need seed and fertilizer. Jericho is so going to turn me into some sort of survivalist. Hahaha. Yeah right. I'd be so dead within 15 minutes. But oh well. Alright I'm watching another episode and it's getting interesting so I'm going to leave.
Final Thoughts: I think I'd be able to shoot something for food but only if it had a beak and no fur. So a turkey.

Badurp Around

amberspeaks — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 07:51:44 GMT

Well I have had a great morning so far. I didn't watch "THE PROM FINALE...ALE..ALE" I actually spent most of my TV time watching Jericho. I'm to episode 18 of the first season. All I have to say about that is...I love STIMI. Majorly a Stimi shipper. I'm also a major JAKE-HEATHER shipper. Speaking of Heather where has she been? I'm serious. Okay so I stayed up way to late watching hours and HOURS of episodes of Jericho. That's why I missed the Kylexy Finale. But we have DVR/TIVO so I should be fine.
I only paused while DWTS was an hour in so i could just watch the dancing. Everyone knows Mario was the best dance. I obviously voted for the Güt. Oh how I loved him once. I might still if he weren't old enough to be my father. Eeek! But I can still think he was way cute in Cocoon. I think Penn or Teller is going home. Which one is the one that talks and is HUGE? Well that one I think is going home. He was a big badurp badurping around who pulled out some flowers at the end. If he doesn't get cut it really will be a magic trick. hahaha. I kind of hope he stays so i can make more lame jokes like that. The hot guy from DWTS was pretty good but he's latin so he sort of has an advantage in the Latin dances. And the footballa was way dreamy and did a pretty darn good job. Let's see who's left...OH Julienne's partner. Can I vote for her and Helio to win again? Stay tuned tonight for THE WOMEN.
Now let's see. New Amsterdam was my other break from Jericho. Oh man this show has everything. Law and Order. Psych. Ugly Betty because his partner must be Canada Ferrera or something. HOT GUY. Flashback sequences with olde timey costumes that always parallel the task at hand. Oh and some sweet ER action everyonce and a while. Dr Chick is so not his the one because she was far too easy of a conquest. I personally rooting for Canada. She's way funny. And she kicks trash. Last night we stopped a serial rapist/killer and also tackled religious murder. NICE! I hope next week we have a suicide bomber as the crime he must solve. And I hope we move on from Doctor not really the one. Maybe I'm his one?
But any way two terribly tramatizing things happened to me personally. ONE: I was just sitting on my couch, minding my business, watching Jericho when all of the sudden an explosion occured. Yes the light bulb exploded popped out of it's socket or whatever and projectile vomited itself like a rocket at the couch. Where there once was a light bulb was only smoke. And where there once was a harmless couch now was the ballistic evidence of the attempt on my life. Seriously it was terrifying. TWO: I almost t-boned some poor unsuspecting man on my way to work this morning. Not good. He like pulled over and made me talk to him. I felt like even a bigger badurp than Penn or Teller. Penn or Teller combined. Not good. So final thoughts: Is youtube the new minesweeper?

It's catching

amberspeaks — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:33:18 GMT

So I went to wedding over the weekend. Caught the bouquet. Again. This is number 5 or 6. "Wowsa" you say "what is your secret?" Well I'll tell you. I actually try for the thing. Most girls standing there waiting to catch the bouquet are shrinking violets who really are embarrassed to be out in the bracken and mire...so...they may joke that they'll fight for it...but let's be honest I'm the only one built like a linebacker jockey with the mad hops of number 23 MJ. So seriously...who's going to beat me to it? Oh and congratulations to the Happy Couple!
In other news, the premiere of DWTS is tonight. Much love to the Güt and Marissa Janet Winkour aka Tracy Turnblad the onest. It should be pretty fun. Be prepared for much discussion in the future.
Also tonight is the KYLEXY "Prom Finale" (What in the heck! Who came up with that btw). I am very excited and lurve Jessie's haircut from last epi. I just wish that she and Kyle would fall in love. Or that Kyle and I would. Basically we just need someone who bugs me less than Amanda...which wouldn't be a hard thing to find. Let's be honest. Oh I want more screen time of geeky DJ love of my life. But at any rate I'm glad the abc powers that be decided not to overlap seasons too much so I'll be able to at least kind of have a life.
I plan to craft. I am a crafty wench. Seriously. Last night I painted a pot and planted daisies. You are so jealous of me. I know. I want to craft tonight and am trying to wrangle up some other crafty wenches or...err...what is the boy version of wench?...wonch(?)...oh well to join me. Interested?
At any rate here are my final thoughts: Twilight, etc. Jacob was terrific. I agree. So nice to Bella when she was all zombied right? Right. But then he became a dog and I swear...the rules of being a wolf do not make you act entitled and superior. That's a choice. He totally becomes cocky and not in a good way. That's just my opinion. And I'm sure to get crap for it but well...you can't sue me because it's just my opinion.
More final thoughts: HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY! Aye but we be filled with the blarney.

IT'S ALIVE!!!

amberspeaks — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:33:39 GMT

Finally I am a classy lady with a web domain to prove it. What with all the people around me getting married and all I figured it was just a matter of time before I'd have no single friends left at all. Thus my new best friend: Mr. Website. Will anyone read this? Doubtful. But it will take up hours of time and that, my imaginary friends, is always a good thing. I've always wanted to be a blogger. Now I am. And more.
In all honesty this will probably just be where I sound off regarding the shows I watch. Hopefully there's humor. Mostly I'll just think I'm right and I won't be able to understand why everyone doesn't just agree with me all ready. And hopefully this will eventually become good advertising for a book that I have every intention of writing. Until then let me leave you with this thought for the day...why is my dad listening to some total crap version of Phantom of the Opera. I'm serious. It has to be like a minus track CD or something because there is no excuse for this.
