floating between my ears

-britney's song 'phonography' is insane. read the lyrics. i love it. i hate it. it's britney.

-life is a never ending journey to figure out who you are. you get closer and closer to the full picture, but you can never complete it because there's always something changing. i like it.

-i am glad my dog seems to have a stomach of steel. cat litter, the natural stool hardener?

-i've texted more in the last two days than in the last two weeks. i'm alright with this. plus the iphone makes it WAY too easy to send rapid fire texts... i forget that people with other phones are getting bombarded. sorry!

-i really need to get going on christmas presents. i can't believe it's going to be here in two weeks. good lord.

-the last couple of days have been different. my mom is in crisis, my sister has been finishing her semester stressfully, little daily things have been throwing me a bit. other things that are too private to post here, one very bad and one very good. i don't want to jinx anything... i just want to do the right things for those i care about, and have a good time without thinking too much. amazingly i haven't been overanalyzing this time.

okay. i'm determined to get out of the house earlier than 4pm on my friday off this time... have a good day!

he's just full of zings.

ME: so... i'm a little weirded out that i had a loaf of bread for 3 months, and it still hasn't grown mold.
i'm toasting some as we speak.
is that wrong?
FRIEND: no
you have to take advantage of the situation
it's super bread
and by eating it you'll probably be super too!
ME: oh boy
what kind of super powers do you think one could get from supernatural bread?
FRIEND: I hope it has nothing to do with yeast.

(ps does anyone want to go grocery shopping for me? this is getting ridiculous...)

i'm lucky to have these friends.

FRIEND: do you think that id look sweet with a prince valiant haircut?
ME: yes.
FRIEND: thats what i said
ME: to whom?
FRIEND: to the mirror
and like a space suit
not an astronaut suit
but like a silver sparkly space suit with an awesome collar
ME: i'm expecting you to look like this next time we hang out.
if you aren't, i will not speak to you.
FRIEND: well it might be after xmas then
pure silver and lights arent cheap

yo lemme chomp on ya

i'm thinkin' i'm going to stay in tonight. i'm in that mood where if someone calls me to go out, i will, but i'm not seeking anything. plus i got an iphone yesterday and i haven't gotten a chance to play with it much yet.

so i went to the DMV yesterday. someone loves me, because i ended up having such an entertaining time there. the minute i sit down, a middle-aged man comes up to me and heartily embraces me, asking if i'm getting new plates and wondering 'how are things at pleasant's hardware?'. visibly confused, we figure out that i'm not the person he thought i was and he tries to brush it off by exclaiming i have a twin. i always find it interesting when people say i look just like someone they know, because i've never met anyone who looks like me. ugly or pretty, i don't think i have a generic face. so i might have to check out this doppelganger at pleasant's sometime.

i also saw the old drugged out janitor from when i went to open high (he was fired while i was going to school there) and one of our clients at the salon who does all the booking for the national.

the best part happened when i left. i walked out, holding the door for the guy behind me. picture lil' john, with white sunglasses and a tan fake leather jacket and pants. his hair was braided instead of dreaded, but i expected a 'yeah!' out of his mouth anyway. as we're both walking to our cars, this dialogue ensued:

Lil John: Yo girl, i don't mean no disrespect, but i just want you to know, them jeans hug your ass perfect!
Me: Uh, thanks! (i keep walking, drifting away from him towards my car)
Lil' John: I mean, I'm not tryin'a get in on your boyfriend's territory or nothin', but damn if i could get with that i would straight eat on those buttcheeks... *inaudible*...chomp on them... *inaudible*...ass... buttcheeks... damn girl...

that's some romance, The Notebook style. totally makes me want to date men again. thanks Lil' John!

FRIEND: what the fuck i just got mad at that

nouvelle vague

these are a changin' times.
in and out.
i learned more how to keep quiet and i'm sorry for anyone who may have been hurt by my openness. some things are meant to keep private, and i wish i could go back, but i can't. i don't want to live in the past but i wish i could have another chance.
sorry if i unintentionally made things harder.

another thing i can't take credit for

yeah. my sister is the self-proclaimed queen of procrastination. i might argue with her... but i think she's right. anyway, i didn't know about this commercial until she showed it to me on youtube, and i have to say, i grin every time.



also, saw a preview for this movie tonight. the concept is cool but i can tell it's going to be way sappy. i'm not usually down with the sap. i hear that string music and i'm like MTV, i go 'NEXT!'
