First of all, before I start on this rant, could someone tell me why WGN Morning News was just playing the "Jem" opening?! (Apparently, Robin Baumgarten used to watch it when she was in college. AWESOME.)

Okay...this is going to sound stupid to make a big deal about, and I'm not really trying to make a big deal about it. But I don't like how when you make a comment on someone else's status or picture upload, you get a notification about when everyone else comments on it. And then if you so happen to open that email notification, you get to read that message.

Case in point? One of my Facebook "friends" (for lack of a better word, because I really haven't kept in touch with her since high school) that I was friends with back in high school uploaded a bunch of old pictures from high school, and I happen to be in one of those pictures. A prom picture. A group prom picture. Because I had no date. And I was notified of this because of the stupid tagging feature. And now everyone else who has commented in that link likes to reminisce about the fun time they had at prom and all throughout high school that I obviously don't remember because I wasn't included. It's stuff like this which is why I didn't want to go to the ten-year reunion last year. Why pay money to hang around a bunch of people whom I didn't get along with, and to hear about all the fun times they had while I wasn't included? (Of course, it didn't help that a lot of my friends during high school were a grade level or two below me, so that explains a lot of things.)

It's like....wow, Facebook. Just wow. I had no idea how much a stupid networking site could make me dredge up old memories that just make me feel like shit. I try to escape those lonely times, and here you are, rubbing it in my face. Thanks a lot, Facebook. I should've never commented in that link.

I just keep telling myself that the friends you make or keep after high school are the ones who truly matter. God, I hate Facebook sometimes for crap like this.

Since [livejournal.com profile] cosmosmariner is doing it, but I will try to stretch it out throughout the month of July.

Day 01- The best movie you saw during the last year -- Toy Story 3, hands down. It was the only movie I was really looking forward to seeing this summer. We'll see what comes out later on this year, but still not over the TS3 love.

The rest is under the cut; I'll reveal the rest as each day goes. )

Since it's my last day off until the 4th, I dedicated today to prepping myself for Trixie this weekend with Help Me Mommy. I did a whitening strip on my teeth this morning, and I'm doing one right now (I know it's going to make my teeth super-sensitive in the morning, but I swear, it's the best dietary aid I know of!). I worked out. (Jillian Michaels, I hate you for push-ups, but I love you for it!) I shaved my legs really well. I went outside and did some yard/gardening work to try to work on my tan.

And WOW. I got a crappy sunburn on my back today in the process. I hope this fades into a decent tan by Saturday night, or else I'll look like a freaking tomato onstage. (For real. My bikini is red.) SPF 15, you have forsaken me! WTF?! The rest of my body tanned okay, but my back! YIPES!

But I did end up getting a spray tanner to try to even it out, in case. I should've just went with a spray tanner in the first place, but I never seem to get it on right and I look streaky or splotchy.

Test-dove my makeup and hair. 'Twas cute. I may actually wear it like that to work on the 3rd! But I'll tone down the makeup so I don't look too gaudy (stage-ready is never really work-appropriate).

And I will make sure good pics are taken. As a matter of fact, I kind of hope a picture of me looking that cute could work for my cast bio pic, since Tim just e-mailed us all about that.

(BTW, the look I'm going for is retro-ish American pin-up girl.)
