I Don't Get A Lot of Things
Jul. 3rd, 2010 08:05 pm
Here are some things I just don't understand.
1) Heavy metal. I mean, I kind of get heavy metals (although it's never really been well defined as to how you get into that club), but the music of the same name confuses me. It's probably really hard to play and more power to you, metal guitarists, but wow it just kind of hurts my ears and makes me angry. I can't understand what you're saying if you keep shouting and growling like that! It's like talking to an angry dog.
2) And why don't people like sitcoms? You don't have to like all of them, but I find it hard to believe there is not a single situation comedy you don't at least sometimes enjoy. WHY DO YOU HATE LAUGHTER.
3) And sausages are gross. What part of the animal are you even eating? I don't think you know. And that weird me out. Same with pepperoni (though it makes a good name for a gecko) and extra same goes for meatloaf.
4) What's the deal with Lost? What was the story for that even? It seems like six years of unanswered questions and random shit that the writers thought would be a good idea. Or maybe this is how it happened:
'Guys, the dog ate the scripts for this week! I think he got angry because he was listening to too much incoherent metal music and he couldn't figure out what he was eating, so he was trying to get back at me! What do we do?'
'Shit, I knew we should have let him watch Scrubs! Add a polar bears and some smudgy smoke shit that kills people. That'll do for at least another half a season!'
5) I like drinking booze. Alcohol makes me feel warm 'n' fuzzy and it makes it easier for me to deal with people. I am not a notoriously good dealer of people usually. But I don't get the appeal of being so drunk you throw up. Most people don't like throwing up. In fact, most people try to avoid it. Unless they're drinking. All I'm saying is if you hate your friends so much that you need to drink until you can't remember anything you did with them at all last night, maybe you need to Craigslist some new friends. Just sayin'.
6) What's the deal with spelling on the internet? Why do some people find it so difficult to do? I mean, you can navigate to facebook or twitter or whatever site you blow at spelling on. You typed in the url without killing anyone. How is 'where' or 'their' so hard to spell? ESPECIALLY considering most browsers have the option for auto-spellcheck?
These are just some of the things I don't get today, guys.

Meme + A Special Birthday + WUDJ Update
Jul. 1st, 2010 06:56 pmAnd happy birthday, Canada!
I was thinking about all the places I want to travel to and all the sights I want to see, and there is not a doubt in my mind that I will always end up back here. I love you, small-town Canada, never change.

Feeling good. Put another 600 or so words on one of my big bang and the rest is my first attempt at Leverage fic. But today is only day one. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.
Two Crazy Ideas + TV Meme
Jun. 14th, 2010 08:36 pmFirst insane idea
I was talking to my grandmother tonight and she gave me a really crazy idea. So crazy it might just work, actually.
So I'm looking for a place to live for when I move to school, right, and it's very difficult to do in such a small town. Why not just buy a trailer, winterize it and be my own landlord?
Quickly, someone give me a reason this would be insane.
Second insane idea
Ditch school, get over my fear of spiders big enough to eat birds and move to Sydney for 2 years with Katie.
Second idea might require Katie and I get married for it to work, but as I realized the other night as we were bickering over whether or not she was going to go to the bar, the only thing missing from our marriage right now is the ring anyways.
What's the job market like in that area for someone who is a big time failure like me? *ponders*

Sloan, My Love
May. 26th, 2010 09:05 pmBrought Abby out for a walk after we said bye to Claudine and brought my mp3 player. Today's 'album of day', it told me, is Sloan's 4 Nights at the Palais Royale. I had all but forgotten about this album under the onslaught of new musical loves.
And let me tell you, I feel like a knob for that. If you've never heard Sloan, I implore you to check them out. 4 Nights is a live album, so it might not be the best place to start (I still love it more than I love toast and pirates put together though). I recommend One Chord to Another. The entire album is mind blowing. I mean, I don't know jack about music in the sense of having any education, but I can tell you that there is not a song on that album that doesn't make me feel something.
Sloan, I love you so much and you will forever be the music that reminds me of the good stuff that happened in high school. I'm sorry I've neglected you. I promise it won't happen again. TSwift is no where near as pretty as you anyways.* Sloan, take me back and I promise you can be the soundtrack to my life again.
*TSwift, if you're out there, you're still super hot and I still love you.

My hair is the longest it's been since I was 12 years old. I mean, it'll be a little longer tomorrow, because it's magic like that. But WHOA long. Just past my shoulders long.
And I don't know what to do with it. I feel like I need a new hairstyle. Or I need to learn how to actually style my hair at all. I wish my hair was curlier. Not curly persay, just wavy. I'm considering a perm.
I did something awful and painful to my neck today or sometime last night. I don't know what it was, but now I can't really turn my head left more than like, fifteen degrees. OW. Hot water bottle and sulking should hopefully fix it. If not I am seeing the doctor tomorrow.
Pathfinders was physically exhausting. One of the girls pulled my arm a little too hard and now my shoulder is all frakked up too. So. Hot water bottle and sulking for that too.
Um. My lips are chapped because apparently it's winter again. My hot water bottle won't solve that.
Today, officially, my teeny tiny baby stepsister turns 17. I am so old. And nothing will fix that. Ever.
I THINK I'M DONE WHINING NOW.

Another Days 'o' Blog Entry

I am so beyond exhausted I don't think it even counts anymore as actual tired. It's some sort of transcendental experience. Murr.
I was extra sociable today! No pandas for me, only smiles and goodness. And a minor near death experience while heading out for coffee. The weather was extra non sociable today...
The only other thing I need to add tonight is the fact that technically (very, very technically), the creatures in Care Bears who were not actually bears (ie: Brave Heart - lion, or Bright Heart - raccoon) are technically (very technically, so only technically, that only the internet knows the difference) 'Care Bear Cousins', not 'Care Bears'.
But you didn't hear that from me.
31 Days 'o' Blog Extra Special Super Features
Today! (In History): 1065. Westminster Abbey is consecrated.
Quote of the Day: "Times have changed / they rearrange / and little girls grow up so fast." [Ivy, from bare: a pop opera]
Bizarre Fact of the Day: Recycling one ton of paper saves about 17 trees. How bizarre and awesome, if we recycle more.
( Pretty Picture of the Day )
The Final Word: Look for the best of 2oo8, coming soon to a blag near you!
