Here's a secret; I'm basically aiming to rip off Douglas Coupland and make a semi-autobiographical, semi-true book out of journal posts at some point in the future. The thing is, I kind of wanted it to be about work, but I'm off work right now. I'm about to fill in the gap with some randumb...
I don't think you can ever be friends with both people in a relationship. I just did my good friend Mel's wedding and... well, I like her husband... but we're never going to be friends, I don't think. And I think that happens and happens and happens. When I think of my married and engaged friends... ahh shit, just thought of one couple who I am friends with both of them. Disregard.
My girlfriend is way better than me at online Scrabble and it frustrates the SHIT out of me. I keep telling her I don't want to play anymore, to no avail.
Every fledgling psychopath loves Donnie Darko. And that's okay. Honestly, the only thing that frustrates me about it is when people don't get it. "What just happened?" What the fuck do you mean, 'what just happened'? Are you stupid? Seriously? Are you just dumb or do you have no creativity or insight whatsoever?
Regardless, I seriously doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.
Occasionally I'll cut my nails too deep and a couple of days later discover an infection oozing green stuff out of the corner of a fingertip. It brings about the same satisfaction of popping zits and plucking hairs when I squeeze the gunk out. Hurts a lot more, though.
In the middle of 15 off from work. Thank I go back for 2 days, and then it's Cuba for a week, all inclusive. Just spent $1650 on that, a suit, a black diamond necklace, and various other wedding related expenses. What the fuck is wrong with me? Also spent about $200 on comics and vintage toys. The toys are almost justifiable. When I cared about recovery and being the best me I could be, my counselor (or maybe it was a book) told me how connecting with my former self, my child self, can be done via old childhood things. Most of what I had was lost or sold or stolen, so now I pick up old Transformers, Star Wars, and GI Joe figures off eBay. It's immensely satisfying. And really, and investment in a way. Maybe I should do some overtime. I have a feeling Christmas is going to be a financial disaster, I always spend too much.
But, the girlfriend IS buying me this...
It's Vonnegut's and it's $375. It would have been an AMAZING surprise, but she wanted to check with me first, just to make sure. What a dame!
For your consideration:
- Modern horror stories/folk tales are about misunderstood characters doing gods and society's work, they are harbingers of good culling the weak, evil, and/or impure.
- WHAT is up with Amanda Seyfriend's eyes/face?! I can't tell if I want to fuck or flee.
