I'm hitting the road again tomorrow. In the past, I have always midjudged the distance to Oregon. I think my thoughts have been something like "8 hours?? Whatever. I just drove two days!! This will be a cake walk!" and then it takes forever and I get pissed. So this should only take like two days through California and I just had a week's rest ( Read more... )

I have the coolest idea for how to positively impact the world just a little-- like a grain of sand against a windstorm--and none of the know-how to do it. But I might have the beginnings of a network for it. The big question is whether this is a calling or a lack of consistent sobriety ( Read more... )

   I kind of want to see Planet 51 in the same way I kind of want to get married and have a kid. I also have yet to make it to Where the Wild Things Are... someone was telling me that I should go see it because Arcade Fire does the music. I feel like there are better reasons to see it than that... and I would prefer, like, Johnny Greenwood doing ( Read more... )

 

lolz. It's the two clips bit that gets me.

At the footbridge over the traintracks: 
Girl: Really? You think this is the most romantic place in the Midway?
Boy: Yes...
Girl: It seems really unstable...
Boy: It's to remind me that being head over heels is dangerous when I'm standing on shaky ground, baby.

I finally watched that wedding video everyone is talking about and I guess I'm not ready to fall in love and get married (or get married and fall in love) since I don't really understand the appeal. I like how it gets all quiet at the end--like, "well, that was fun, now everyone sit the hell down so we can sing some hymns and take communion." It ( Read more... )

   I narrowly escaped having to go to a stranger's wedding today. Actually, she's not quite a stranger. She's my sister's best friend from forever ago but I never got to know her and word is she's been kind of a bitch lately. I've still been thinking about my idealized crushes on Disney princesses from my white whale of Cinderella to the half-fish ( Read more... )

   I was all set to go to sleep early tonight so I could get up early and do breakfast with my dad and my sister's boyfriend but I couldn't sleep and ended up thinking about crushes in my formative years since, on a whim, I added one of them on the facebook today and she confirmed it and then I realized I had a really idealized perception of her (a ( Read more... )

Birth Control:
If I ever catch my future kids screwing around with a member of the opposite sex or talking like I do now about having kids, I'm going to put them on a three hour flight and see to it that they are sitting next to a talkative second grader. I'll have a family friend meet my offspring at the other end and then sit her down and say, " ( Read more... )

So, I don't usually put stock into these msn things... and the same is true for this.

According to this, I'm a martini in which the Too-Picky Guy (we've seen the list) is the vodka and there's a dash of the vermouth that is the Shy Guy.

"...the picky guy may be unwilling to give a date with, say, a tendency to use emoticons in emails or “too short ( Read more... )

The vows I wrote stole:

Bride: There's one thing I want to say so I'll be brave-
Groom: (Grabs Bride's hand) I know. I know. I know; I feel the same as you.

Then they dance to Lover's Spit.
