So. Tired.

[trista]

I cannot believe how tired I am today. So tired. So very, very tired. Also, did I mention the part where I'm tired?

Let's just take a moment to look at the word tired, shall we? It is now the most hilarious word evar, and I am convinced that I've misspelled it horribly. That's what I get for indulging in such ridiculous excess. The same

When I was little I was convinced that people had lots of compartments in their stomachs. I had a spaghetti compartment and a bread compartment and an asparagus compartment and a milk compartment and a cake compartment and loads more. So it was entirely possible that I could not manage to eat even one more bite of something gross like sprouts but could easily manage a slice of cake and a glass of milk. I wonder where I got that idea? I wonder if other kids think that, too?

>>Hee hee. I like that concept. "I have no more room in my asparagus compartment, but my cake compartment is empty at the moment (hint hint)." :)

Hm. I can't really think of any funny ideas I had as a kid. I do remember having imaginary friends that lived in a red, white and blue checkerboard garage.

I had an imaginary friend, too. Her name was Mysterisis. I think maybe I was trying for Mysterious? She had a boyfriend named John Brown, and he was in the Army. Where do we get these things?

[buscemi]

Heh. No idea. My imaginary friends were named Bip and Bop, and Beebee and Baybay. (I think that's how I spelled it.)

I swallowed seeds from watermelons and just about everything else because my grandparents told me they'd grow in my stomach. I wanted to become a living garden.

Oh, I love that! And I have absolutely no problem imagining you being that little girl, or that little girl growing up to be you. That rocks. :)

This happened when I was an adult, but still...

When I first moved to California, I saw something on a map called the Barnsdall Ant Park. I kept meaning to check it out because I thought it was a giant ant farm. Later, I discovered it was the Barnsdall Art Park, not Ant Park. Hee.

What a letdown! I think an ant park would be far more interesting than an art park, just because it would be so unusual. Last fall I went to Darwin, Minnesota, to see the World's Largest Ball o' Twine. I love things like that. I would so go to an ant park.

A while back, I was wondering where the World's Largest Ball o' Twine was. No, really.

Btw, balls of string have twiny goodness:

I thought "greatest of them all" was actually "greatest of the mall" and meant the best thing you could buy at the mall. I also thought "ends meat" was something you at when you were poor, because I always heard about people trying to "make ends meat" (sic).

And I thought everyone with the same last name was related, even if they didn't live anywhere near each other or were different races. Hey, it could happen!

grr...*ate* when you were poor

[trista]

because I always heard about people trying to "make ends meat" (sic).

Oh, that is awesome. I know I had loads of those, too, but of course I can't think of a single one right now.

I thought the same thing about the last names. And I didn't understand how my mom's side of the family could have a different last name. How could they be McDonalds of we were Hollands? That didn't make any sense at all. Also, I thought the Smith family was gigantic.

Yes! I can remember my mother telling me to finish my dinner and me saying I couldn't because I was full, but asking for another glass of milk. She asked me how I could have more milk if I was so full, and I explained the highly scientific compartment system to her. I got the milk, too. :)
