I'd be the smartest bird the world has ever seen
Thanks to snarkycomments who always comes through with a great distraction from my overbearing pile of work, and who understands that sometimes avoidance is the only way to approach it all...
Word association to the alphabet:
A: Androgony. See previous entry. I tend toward femme, it's true, but there's something honest about androgony that really appeals to me.
B: Bimbo. Something I was not called as a child, much to the surprise of those who know my last name.
c: Compaq. That's boring, but it's the brand of computer I'm working on and when I couldn't think of anything that's the first word I saw. (I know, "Chemical Angel" was the right answer)
D: Dogs - read as: Lundehunds. I did recently decide I don't want one, due to the unfortunate hereditary disease that is currently known to run in every single blood line of the breed...but once they figure out how to iron that pesky little wrinkle I'll be first in line.
E: Enigma. lol
F: Fraggle Rock. If I had cable, and if that show was on reruns, I would so be down with that.
G: GOD! I ordered a book today titled "Christ" and I couldn't help but hear it in my head as an exasperated exclamation. I wish I could type it in an appropriately detailing manner so you could get the full effect..but, Christ!, I can't seem to figure out how.
H: Headache. My friendly co-worker has one, apparently due to some drama amongst her friends, and she has gone on and on and on and on about it all since I got to the office this morning. Does it say anything about her attachment to drama that all her friends constantly have some? Or does she just need new friends?
I: Ice-cream. Rocky Road. I will be having some this evening, and I'm looking forward to it.
J: Jumping Jacks. Well, not exactly, but I do need more exercise.
K: Kendallville. One of the binding printers that we use (I work for a publisher).
L: sappy squishy sentimental ol' LOVE
M: meows. Granted Curry the cat did not bother us this morning in particular, but her annoying habit of slinking around the apartment, the second the sun starts to rise, with her whiny little wake-up call for us to let her out is fairly tiresome.
N: The Neverending Story. "ATREU!" "FALLLLLCOOORRRRRR" "ATREUUU"
O: Did I say overwhelming? No, overBEARING. Same difference.
P: Post-it notes. My mother...four kids and a husband to keep track of, she couldn't trust herself to remember everything so she would leave post-it notes EVERYWHERE, including ones for us with reminders or chores or phone messages or shopping list items or just FYIs...you have no idea how haunting a post-it note can be until you have lived this life.
Q: QUEER. You don't even know the half of it.
R: Rest and Relaxation. My five day weekend was great, but I can't wait for Maui in the fall!
S: SEX-AY! Again, see previous journal entry. I love stuff like this, in an I-find-that-amusing-but-I-hope-I-never-do-it way; iono why.
T: Tapestry...one in particular...with a very specific history...and no, I'm not telling.
U: Underwear...? Like you'd come up with anything else for the letter U.
V: Vacation...see "R" above
W: Willy-Nilly, don't be.
X: Xanadu - there's a new Fisher song with a line that follows the same musical path for those three notes and evertime I hear it I end up singing Xanadu instead. I'm not even sure I saw that movie...did it have roller-skating?
Y: YOU. I love you.
Z: Zee End
mmmmmmwhah!
