			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First, (in the voice of Chandler Bing) Can this week <em>BE</em> any longer??</p>
<p>I think not, my friend. But I&#8217;m not here to complain. All is good in the life of me. Really great actually. I cannot stop smiling.</p>
<p>WHAT? No complaints about my roommates? No bitching about having nothing to wear? No rants about how I wore my thong the wrong way for 8 hours???</p>
<p>I know? I must be sippin on some <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">sizzurp </span>crazy juice.</p>
<p>Not only is it pay-day Friday and I have a really fun weekend ahead of me, but Goshdarnit! I just found out some people like me!!</p>
<p>I got two awards this week and I&#8217;m so frickin excited!</p>
<p>The first is the Kreativ Blogger award from Amber over at  <a href="http://ambermurphy.blogspot.com/">Musings of Amber Murphy</a>! Thank you friend! If you don&#8217;t currently frequent her blog, you must check it! She&#8217;s funny, extremely genuine, writes way better poetry than I ever could, (she writes way better than I do, period) and most importantly&#8230;she once wrote a letter to Tiffany Amber-Theissen.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1313" title="kreativ_blogger_award_copy" src="http://www.carissajaded.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/kreativ_blogger_award_copy-300x300.jpg" alt="kreativ_blogger_award_copy" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>Candice from <a href="http://angryredhead.wordpress.com/">That&#8217;s Tangly</a> passed this to me a<a href="http://www.carissajaded.com/2009/10/i-dont-know-how-to-put-this/"> few weeks ago</a> so I&#8217;m gonna skip the meme part of it and just pass it on! If you&#8217;re up to it, pass it on to 3 other blogs and reveal 7 things about yourself that you haven&#8217;t yet shared with the world.</p>
<p>I&#8221;d like to pass this on to:</p>
<p>Andhari from <a href="http://littleinsomniaclolita.blogspot.com/">Insomniac Lolita</a>&#8230; This girl is an uber talented musician, leads a very interesting life, and posts really awesome pictures of hotties with no shirts!</p>
<p>HillbillyDuhn from <a href="http://hillbillyduhn.blogspot.com/">Hillbilly Duhn&#8217;s Times and Tribulations</a>&#8230; Because this girl never fails to crack my shit up. Oh, and also she was brave enough to post the <a href="http://hillbillyduhn.blogspot.com/2009/10/tmi-thursday-experiment-gone-wrong.html">best TMI</a> I have ever read. Ever.</p>
<p>Ryan from <a href="http://365daysofpeople.blogspot.com/">365 Days of People</a>&#8230; For being the most hilarious hater on the internet. Seriously, there is rarely a time when he posts something that I don&#8217;t agree with. I just hope this award doesn&#8217;t prompt a &#8220;people who give out gay-ass blog awards&#8221; post. Or do it. I&#8217;ll laugh.</p>
<p>The second award is the Honest Scrap Award bestowed to me from That Kind of Girl from <a href="http://notthatkindofgirl.net/">Not that Kind of Girl</a>. Oh my gosh people. I cannot express in words how much I love this girl and am honored that she reads! She is frickin hilarious, inspiring, (my friends and I now play a NTKOG game where we dare ourselves to do things we normally wouldn&#8217;t) and has huge fricking pair of boobs. And by boobs, I mean girl balls. I also blame her for infiltrating &#8220;dude&#8221; back into my daily vocabulary.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1314" title="honest scrap" src="http://www.carissajaded.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/honest-scrap.jpg" alt="honest scrap" width="300" height="289" /></p>
<p>For this award, I&#8217;m supposed to tell you 10 super personal things that no one else knows. NTKOG decided to put her own spin on it and reveal 10 things that she has learned about herself in the last 10 days. I&#8217;m going to attempt a mix of the 2.</p>
<p><strong>Five things you don&#8217;t know about me (unless your a stalker):</strong></p>
<p>1. I&#8217;m a huge freak. Meaning? I have a dimple thingy at the top of my butt crack. It&#8217;s not as weird as it sounds&#8230;  It&#8217;s like a little hole that doesn&#8217;t go anywhere&#8230; I&#8217;ve met one other person that has one. Let me know if you do too. We can start a club or something.</p>
<p>2. I had an eating disorder in my early twenties. I am really happy that I have been able to lose weight the right way this time, but sometimes it scares me when I get a little obsessive about it. I know I wouldn&#8217;t ever go down that path again, and it feels really good to get this out there- but still&#8230; I think about that place that I once was in, and it is terrifying.</p>
<p>3. I am horrible with anything that has to do with numbers. I still have to look on facebook to find out my best friend&#8217;s birthdays. The only phone number I have memorized is my parent&#8217;s. I use my fingers to do multiplication.</p>
<p>4. My bellybutton hole smells, at least to me. I clean it, but I think it still has a funk.</p>
<p>5. I may or may not have just spent the last 45 minutes trying to give myself a Brazilian wax. I may or may not have learned that this is something that you should not attempt at home. (this probably should have gone in the next list.)</p>
<p><strong>Five things I learned in the last 10 days:</strong></p>
<p>1. I really really<em> really</em> hate the time change. Mostly because I forgot how difficult of a time I have driving at night.</p>
<p>2. I am kind of a loser. There are some days when I have the opportunity to go out and be around people, but I would rather sit at home and watch t.v.</p>
<p>3. I need to learn to stop hiding behind my weight. I got so used to using my weight as my excuse not to do things&#8230; not to put myself out there dating wise, not to try new things, not to have confidence. I  I still find myself making these excuses.</p>
<p>4. I still have no idea what I want to do with my life. I have had several discussions with my friends about this lately, and it just fucks with my head even more. I have been consciously putting it out of my mind for the last 4 years, and it&#8217;s time to deal.</p>
<p>5. I shouldn&#8217;t do things (like go stair surfing) when I don&#8217;t have health insurance.</p>
<p>Alllllrighty then. If that wasn&#8217;t personal, I don&#8217;t know what is. Now I get to pass this on to 10 honest bloggers that I love! Check em out if you haven&#8217;t already!</p>
<p>1. Alicia from <a href="http://houseofcline.blogspot.com/">It Aint easy being Cheesy</a>&#8230; I recently started following her and she is hill-arious! Plus she posts amazing pictures and we share a common bond of having obsessions with NSYNC.</p>
<p><a href="http://phronko.blogspot.com/">2. Phronk </a>&#8230;  A fellow film lover who also doesn&#8217;t  fart. And I don&#8217;t love farts so I kind of love him. Plus he has this other badass site<a href="http://puttingweirdthingsincoffee.wordpress.com/"> Putting Weird Things in Coffee</a>, where he does just that. I may have read the whole thing.</p>
<p>3. M from <a href="http://www.onewaydown.com/">Only one Way Down</a>&#8230; She&#8217;s funny, honest, and when she gets on a rant &#8211; I kind of just want to raise my fist and yell &#8220;oh hells yeah!&#8221; Plus she&#8217;s a fellow Dallasite, and it&#8217;s good to know there are other good people from the area.</p>
<p>4. Candice from <a href="http://angryredhead.wordpress.com/">That&#8217;s Tangly</a>&#8230; I have mad love for this girl! Seriously, if I don&#8217;t get to party with her before I die, it will be a major loss on my behalf. Plus she is doing great things with her life right now.. CHECK IT OUT!</p>
<p>5. Kathryn from <a href="http://www.theinternalmakeover.com/">From The Inside&#8230; Out</a>&#8230; I didn&#8217;t know mom&#8217;s could be this funny.  Or that I could relate to one so much. Funny. ass. shiz.</p>
<p>6. Matt from <a href="http://matthewjenks.blogspot.com/">A Crown of Thistles</a>&#8230; By far the smartest/funniest/best storyteller/knows freaking latin-est person that I have met on the internets. I literally leave his site with my mouth hung open in awe. And not in the dirty way.</p>
<p>7. F.B. From <a href="http://francobeans.com/">The Change I Wish to See</a>&#8230; I recently started following this guy, and I have gone back to read his entire history. And I laughed a lot. Plus he is an amazing writer, and did I mention he loves It&#8217;s Always Sunny??</p>
<p>8.<a href="http://www.onesteptorecovery.com/"> One Step to Recovery</a>&#8230; Love this girl! I can almost always relate, and she tells it like it is. She just had surgery yesterday and girl, I hope you are feeling better soon!</p>
<p>9. Kirsten from <a href="http://bellyshirts.wordpress.com/">Belly Shirts</a>&#8230;. I laugh my ass off at her daily, and because she single handedly <a href="http://bellyshirts.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/my-awesome-new-powers/">started the swine flu</a> epidemic.</p>
<p>10. Lilu at <a href="http://www.livitluvit.com/">Liveitluvit</a>&#8230; I couldn&#8217;t leave her out! I probably wouldn&#8217;t have found any of you good people if it weren&#8217;t for her site, and I FUCKING love the TMIs.</p>
<p>I have seriously come across so many blogs that I love in the last couple months. I love you all!</p>
<p><strong>Moving on to the Fuck my Life portion. This is why I haven&#8217;t been able to walk this entire week&#8230; (NEVER STAIR SURF UNLESS YOU WANT TO FEEL MAJOR PAIN!!!)<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And not excited in the least bit. Today I am about to risk the unthinkable. I am about to truly put my trust in all of the Greek Goddesses to the test.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; border-collapse: collapse; color: #000080;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>You see a few days ago something awful happened. My computer quit working. I don&#8217;t know what was wrong with it, all I know is that every time I pushed the button to turn it on- it would go through the motions and then just freeze about half-way through the blue Windows start up screen where that little line that moves across the bottom.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; border-collapse: collapse; color: #000080;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>Please forgive my lack of computer lingo. I don&#8217;t care to learn it because technology has been my arch-nemesis for a long time now. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I can usually fix a computer better than any of my girlfriends. But that&#8217;s only because I&#8217;ve spent so many hours on the phone with IT people in India, that I&#8217;d have to be a very special person not to have learned something. I&#8217;m also the quickest-at setting-up-computers- person I know. But that &#8216;s only because I&#8217;ve somehow managed to permanently break so many over the years. I&#8217;m very lucky though, because I happen to have an OCD grandfather who only uses a computer for a few months and then passes them on to my family.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; border-collapse: collapse; color: #000080;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>But I digress, back to my current piece of a computer. So after a few hours of letting out grunts and no geeksquad member magically appearing at my door,  I did the only thing I really know how to do in this situation. I wiped my entire computer clean. What in the seven layers of Hades was I thinking. Not only did I lose a bunch of stuff that I&#8217;ve written, but all of my pictures, and more importantly- my entire i tunes library. I tried to reassure myself with the fact that I have all of my purchased music safe on my  ipod&#8230; but that doesn&#8217;t help me in the fact that it&#8217;s one of my friend&#8217;s birthdays tomorrow, and I really want to show off my awesome music taste with a few mixed cds.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; border-collapse: collapse; color: #000080;"></span></p>
<p>So here I sit with my ipod connector in hand, debating whether or not I should take the huge risk of attempting to update my i tunes by transferring purchases to my computer. I&#8217;ve been in this position before, and the outcome wasn&#8217;t pretty. The last time I tried this I ended up with an empty i tunes, and an empty ipod to boot. (is that how you use that?) At least the last time I had my laptop with all the songs as backup. That laptop has since gone to a better place, the trash.</p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; border-collapse: collapse; color: #000080;"><br />
