Another day gone by, another meaningless entry. It's starting to form a pattern. I never really have anything of substance to talk about, but somehow I pull it off.
Well, my day today, since I know you're dying to hear about it. I had work from 7-3:30 again; the day, surprisingly enough, went by fast. I came home from work, hung out for a while, then went to hockey which is where I just got back from.
So anyways, that's that.
I have very good news now. I got home tonight, and came on the computer, and I looked at my buddy list and saw Kim online. This was the first time since the break-up, that seeing her online has had no emotional effect on me. I really think I'm almost done with it, and that makes me happy. I mean, on occasion, I catch myself thinking about her, but whenever I do, I just stop myself and say "No, I'm not gonna do this, she's not worth it." It seems to have been working.
So let's see, what else?
I was reading the names of the songs on the new Taking Back Sunday CD today, and I noticed, the names (except one) have nothing to do with the song lyrics. So, they obviously must be symbolic of what the song's about. Now, on occasion, or maybe all the time, I wanna try to do that with the names of my entries, just 'cuz I think it'd be fun. I called this one "Cigarettes, a handgun, and three paces to the left." Now this pertains to one part of the entry. If you can figure out what part of the entry this title is referring to, and how it is referring to it, I'll give you $10. Just leave your answers in the "comments" section, and if you're not a user, leave your name. If you get it right, I won't lie, I will give you $10. The reality, though, is that, most likely, you're not going to figure it out. It's really, really, hard. But I encourage you to try, you might as well.
I have one more thing to tell you about before I leave you to your thoughts and/or pornography. Now, let's go back to the begining of the entry. I said that, "I never really have anything of substance to talk about, but somehow I pull it off." Now, although I may be able to talk about nothing for a while, I can't do it half as well as my buddy Byron over there. I just need to quote a section of his most recent entry for you, because it's truly beautiful.
"I have an idea, let's categorize profiles:
A.) The Lovey Dovey:
This profile is very very common but may be mixed with the other archtypes of profiles. Usually there is some love quote or weirdly erotic quote from an R&B or Rap artist followed by the person's initials with a <3 next to them. If they're really ambitious, they even go as far into WingDings to actually GET the heart image. If it's not the person's initials, it's their name in some form or another. In some Lovey Dovey anomalies, it is simply a phrase that they 'love' this person.
B.) The Artistic Poet:
By far the most common, is the Artistic Poet. Their profiles have some meaningful quote from a song or poem set up in their profile with a matching color scheme and different typefaces for the meaningful parts in the quote that mean something very important to them, but no one else gets...or cares.
C.) The Inside Joker Quoter
Ah the most confusing, is the Inside Joker Quoter. Sort of like 'that guy' at parties that has jokes with himself that no one gets. Usually there are quotes form an IM conversation, or if it happened in real life, the person's names and something funny about what they said or did. No one gets it except thhe person who owns the profile and the other victim. This type can be used in tandem with the Girly Girl (section D).
D.) The Girly Girl:
Ah the ever so infamous Girly Girl. We've all seen the Girly Girl profiles, usually have a bunch of girls' initials clever grouped with in the promximity of eachother seperated by periods and underneath it, a 'shout out' to her 'girliez' and how she would be in a casket and 6 ft. under without them. Theyy alsoo liike to repeaat vooowels, or use 'y' in the palce of 'i'. Also there is something along the lines of a nostalgic, reminiscent 'shout' to her 'girliez' that is incredibly unspecific. Whatever, I don't get it either.
E.) The Guyly Guy:
The eye sore of the profile family is the Guyly Guy. These profiles have clashing color schemes, if any at all, and capitals everywhere that make it seem like the profile is going to stab you in the eye with a hammer. Yes, a hammer. A stabbing hammer. As for content, there is usually some jumbled words and quotes that no one else gets, kind of a lame archetype.
F.) The Jockstrap:
These profiles are undoubtedly obnoxious..but a bit less than the girly girl. These take place during a sports season and contain, in all caps: The HIghschool Name in the school's color, the record, whether it's Freshman, JV, or Varsity, and some sporty gung-ho quote and how much they will miss the seniors."
This, my friends, is the work of a true genius. We all should hit ourselves at least once every time we read that, because we truly do not deserve to.
So, I talked about my day. Talked about how I'm basically over Kim. Talked about song names and entry subjects. And, quoted a classic Livejournal moment. I think that wraps it up for now. Buh-bye.
