Dude, today for the lose. 4 hours of sleep for the second night in a row. Nasty sleet/rain/hail that turned the streets of Chicago/Evanston into the Land of Misery and Inarticulate Cursing. 10 AM screening of a film about a man driving a woman slowly insane. There was a bright spot of hilarity when I arrived at work at the media library (angry and

I have never heard Jolene before. You Tube to the rescue. Aww, Dolly Parton. I'm not a country music fan, like, at all, but she's so adorable. And that song is very pretty.

Hah, I figured you'd be "all of the above" drinking-wise. I wonder why. ;-) Me, I'm a girl-drink drunk and semi-proud of it. The offspring of two parents who have insanely high alcohol thresholds and I'm the one who so far only like vodka-and-fruit-juice type drinks and Sangria. And I get drunk on two drinks. Heh.

Rum Raisin ice cream is fabulous and was my "favorite" until I fell for coconut-anything type of ice creams. That's my current favorite. Even though I can't really eat ice cream for the next uh, forever. I can dream of it, though. I still do love Rum Raisin which is weird because rum is my least favorite alcohol next to the horror that is gin. (Now I hear my dad in the back of my head, saying, "What kind of Puerto Rican are you?")

Oh. Gaia. Well, your parents get many cookies for deciding on Lucia! I could have been a Monica Veronica. Monica Veronica.

I kind of deeply love Dolly Parton. I don't have all her albums but I have her picture on my fridge! I love her in the movies a lot too. She's so sassy! And she has pretty much the best quote ever with her, "If I hadn't been born female, I'd have been a drag queen."

I kind of love this post. It's so amiable.

I'm amused by the number of people I know who narrowly avoided horrible names. I would have been a Kyle. Thank gawd I showed up with girl parts.

[femmenerd]

Amiable! Thank you. It's nice that after the day I had today I was able to pull that off. :P

I am amused and fascinated by this post.

Also I ♥ dive bars too, but my favorite song to hear at them is definitely "You Never Even Call Me (By My Name)," which used to be played without fail every night at the world-famous Dixie Chicken (which along with Aggie football shares total responsibility for College Station, Texas being consistently listed as one of the best "college towns" in the country, and which at one point served more beer per square foot than any other bar in the United States) until a bunch of new-guard pretentious country fucks took over the sound system and stopped playing my favorite songs (INCLUDING KANSAS WHAT THE HELL KIND OF DIVE BAR REFUSES TO PLAY KANSAS).

I'm, uh, still kind of irritated about that one.

[femmenerd]

Hee! Sometimes I think I definitely treat myself like a character--I'm really obsessed with details and memory in general.

Dixie Chicken is an awesome name for a bar!

Dude, it's the TRUTH. I totally filled it out with myself in mind. If I didn't have a strict corollary, I went with what I WOULD do. We were clearly twinned in a past life or some shit.

Also, OMG WTF, FEMME. You gave me your insomnia, you BITCH. It was virtually-transmitted insomnia apparently. LIKE A SOCIAL DISEASE. *cries* 3 hrs of sleep. I seriously want to die right now.

[femmenerd]

Ack! I'm sorry you're not sleeping well! I hope you've gotten rest by now. :(

[mona1347]

Sleep is officially accomplished! \o/

Dead to the world from 11pm to 6am. Then more sleep until 730. I'm still tired but that's nothing new - at least I'm not DED.

*winz*

Jolene?

And, on another note of incredulity ... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -- slash? :-0

Re: Jolene?

[femmenerd]

Hey man, Dolly Parton is AWESOME. And as for the Turtles, I don't know--it was all on an email thread created by a bunch of crazy, bored fangirls at work in offices the world around.

Re: Jolene?

[ozma914]

Oh, sure, Dolly Parton's great. I really loved her version of "I will always love you", and she's also got a great sense of humor. It's just that, for some reason, that was my last choice for what would have been your favorite on that list of songs. That's okay, though, because I doubt very much anyone could even guess my favorite group, let alone my favorite song. Some days I'm not even sure I could ...

Re: Jolene?

[femmenerd]

It's not necessarily my favorite of those songs in all contexts--it's my favorite song to hear in juke boxes in bars.
