it reminded me twice that i was alive

...& it reminded me that you're so worth the fight.

• my name is olivia, i'm 24.5 and i like miley cyrus. i even dowloaded her song onto my iPod. the first step is admitting you have a problem, so there. i said it. whew, i feel so much better now!
• so apparently, moving away from indy and all the drama does not mean people stop talking about you. in fact, my relationships with the opposite sex seem to be an on-going topic. still. funny how everything i hear from people about my love life is actually more interesting and entertaining then what i've experienced. in some cases these people know more about my relationships than i do. it's actually amusing to me, these things i've heard the last few days about my current relationship status. let's just set some things straight: i am single. it is complicated. i've had my heart broken 1.5 time is less than a year & i'm hoping that .5 goes away in about 3 weeks (sooner would be better) and doesn't turn into a full-fledged 2. i currently can't be bothered to entertain any boys with my time in chicago or any of the other 49 states. you know nothing about what has or has not happened in my life the last 3 months so do everyone a favor, keep my name out of your mouth, shut the fuck up, and go back to where you came from.
• speaking of my relationships, i ended up talking with cole on the phone during my shopping escapade to whole foods. it's fun to chat with someone who it's so easy to talk to. i explained that i was going to get some soup for julie while i was out, cause she came home sick. cole said it must be that motherly instinct that i have in a big way, always wanting to take care of others and make the better. that is the best conversation we've had in a year. random.
• going down the escalator at work, you see the people going up the opposite escalator. i mention this because i was riding down with the nicole the other day to - big shock - go get a tea from the espresso bar. as we were going down this little girl comes hauling ass, balls to the walls running up the up escalator. mid sprint, she tripped up the escalator and did a face plant smack down and slowly drifted to the top. hands down, it was one of the best things i've ever seen happen at work. i felt bad for the little girl, but man it was hilarious. don't worry little girl, i always trip up and eat it daily so it's all good.
• it's no suprise to those of you who know me that i hate weddings. the fuss, the bad cakes, the finding a date, blah blah blah. i only make it a point to go when neccessary. this being said, i dont like even like to watch weddings in movies. okay, i'll admit i watch who's wedding is it anyway on style network because i like to see how the events are planned. tonight julie was watching the movie the wedding date. again, i'll admit that it was cute & entertaining. as soon as i got on my "i dont like weddings" sassy horse i feel like someone punched me in the lungs. the hot date said to debrah messing "i'd rather fight with you than make love to anybody else." gloriousity. just when i lost faith in men, let a movie bring me back to the positives. naturally.
• have you seen those shell gasoline commercials that offer and exclusive, collectors item towels complimentary with any fill-up of 10 gallons or more? there are even 3 different colors to collect! ha. there is so much i can say about this one, but i'll keep it short: how is a towel that is going to clean up spills in your car going to be a collectors item? hurry and get yours while supllies last! shell has nothing on speedy rewards from speedway gas station.
