LJ Idol, Season 3, Post 1 – Topic: Introduction/Whatever

For those of you who know me...guess what? I decided to join LJ Idol season 3 over at therealljidol. /nod nod nod. It was kinda sporadic and totally on impulse, but I figured “why not? I post anyway!”. So if you do know me, you can skip over this post without gaining my fury (yes, my fury which is contained to this adorable little annoyed face ¬.¬). But if you’re in the mood for a giggle, and you don’t mind going over things you already know; by all means, continue reading.

Now, to you newcomers, hello and welcome. After much agonizing over the first entry, I decided to give a brief description of myself (what everyone who thinks they know me knows) and then follow up with something perhaps more my style (probably random and inane). I shall now commence telling you a bit about myself.

The Basics. My name is Tracie Marie. Everyone at work, college and church knows(or knew) me as just Tracie. I later gained the nickname MsMoon after waaaay too much Sailor Moon. I was born and raised and now live and work in southern Louisiana. In fact, I live about 40 minutes south of New Orleans. I was raised by my wonderful parents with the occasional presence of my older brother. My dad is now 65 years old (soon to be 66). He’s worked over 30 years on off-shore drilling rigs. Mom is 56 (they’re 9 years and a few months apart) and a home maker (behold my heroes). My brother just turned 37 on the 19th. My brother and I are 13 years apart. I am 23. I was a daydreamer as a child and I still am today. I love to write, but sometimes it’s better to read (it’s more relaxing, and I don’t have to do all the thinking). I occasionally play World of Warcraft (though not as seriously as some) and Katamari Damacy on PS2. I went to college for a little over 2 years and emerged with my Associates Degree in Office Systems Techonology. I now work in town as a Clerk. It’s been the best job I’ve had yet, if only because my coworkers and I get along so well. I use this journal to try and keep track of old friends (and new ones) while updating anyone who cares for half a second on how my life is going. I also throw in facts that interest me every now and then.

That’s enough of that for now. I think I’ll go ahead with the other half of this entry.……..I’ve no idea what to write. /looks around.

You know, I love Weird Al. I have four of his CDs, and I’m slowly working on getting all the others that came before. Seriously, ya’ll. If you had said 20 years ago that Michael Jackson would be next to nonexistent in the public eye, but Weird Al would still be going strong, somebody would’a called the men in those white coats to come and cart you off. If he can survive this long, there must be something to him, right? So why is it, I get funny looks when I say he’s one of my favorites? At work, a lot of the girls look at me funny whenever I mention him. I mean, there are worse things out there…I’m sure we can all attest to that (and my coworkers who have kids agree with this whole-heartedly!). Oh, sure he may not be the charmer that Orlando Bloom is (who had me at 'Mae govannen'), and he’s not as ripped as Vin Diesel (who I’ve loved ever since Riddick), but you know what? He makes me laugh (and sometimes he has an interesting perspective about things O.o). As far as I’m concerned, I can’t laugh enough. The world is very depressing, and there are things out there that will just rob you of your joy at any second. So why not laugh while you can? So you know what? I can live with lanky and pale and long curly hair...Chicks dig scrawny pale guys right? (I’m sure some do). Honestly, I’ve always based attraction on more of a personal level...I never have found myself attracted to guys that were just "hot". In fact, the one guy that I constantly got hung up on all the time when I was a lot younger was short and partially bald and didn’t have the best of bodies...but you know, he didn’t seem too bothered that I was overweight and ugly. And he really made me laugh. But that probably has a lot to do with the fact that I think I’m physically unattractive, but I still think I’m a beautiful person, so my perception of what is attractive had to change...Deep huh? And to think I started off with Weird Al! Man...I think I just remembered why I like to just let myself ramble so much o_o

All right...it’s 9ish, and tomorrow I start my first day of working 8 – 5. I’ve been working 10 – 5 for a very long time now, and I’ve gotten used to sleeping in till 7. But tomorrow I wake up bright and early at 5:30. Ah well. It’s all gonna be worth it once I can afford to own the Nexus. (I’ll just leave that at that and let those of you who’re new wonder what the heck the Nexus is. God knows I’ve ranted and raved about it enough in the past couple’a weeks =___=). So yeah. Thanks for reading and I hope I didn’t loose you though all that insanity. But that’s all for this entry. Tootles!

To those of you newbies who don’t know, I always post a quiz result at the end of every entry just for the heck of it. I enjoy taking the quizes, and it’s something visual to break up all this text. I don’t see any reason not to include that in my LJ Idol entries. So there ya have it. Peace out.
