to waste
gimme hamburger, bitches.
i think this is the first one of these "blog every day" challenges i've actually finished. 1 out of 3, not bad. except this is the only one without a real prize, so that makes it suck a little more.

we're survivors
who knew they genetically engineered green and blue sunflowers? they're kind of pretty, in a what-have-we-come-to kind of way.

home by curfew
i just scratched my neck and almost died from the pain. scratching a sunburn can kill you, right? 'cause it sure hurts a hell of a lot. but i bought some art while slowly getting sun cancer, so it's all worth it! i'll take some pictures and put them up. i absolutely love being a real adult who cares about things like collecting art and decorating her real-people apartment.

deserve you
i have two MC Chris songs stuck in my head, but really just two MC Chris songs' choruses because i can't understand 90% of what he's saying. but man, what sweet choruses (chori?)

broken by you
i kind of want to make a mix that's all songs that mention hitler. so far i have 2: the mr. t experience's "even hitler had a girlfriend", and dan bern's "god said no". given goofy punk and jewish folk as a beginning, this is bound to be an interesting mix about the worst guy ever. anyone know any songs?

any situation
i've spent the last 4 days (okay okay, the last 6 months) craving Rules Of Attraction. i finally got around to renting it last friday, and promptly got it stuck in my dvd player (a slot in my tv), where it would neither load nor eject. i dwelt on it all weekend, even tried attaching double sided tape to the end of a ruler and fishing it out. finally i went back to the video store and told them what happened. the guy behind the counter told me to try turning the tv off, unplug it, and plug it back in to reset it, then try ejecting again. lo and behold, it worked. i got to watch my movie tonight, and it wasn't nearly as good as i remember it being. the gods certainly do have a sense of humor.

i still do
quite often, when i am zoning out to music or walking or driving by myself, i will think up scenarios where i am impressing people i'm mildly friends with. usually they turn out to be co-workers, and i'm envisioning ways in which i can make them think i'm cool. lately the scenario has been karaoke, which doubles as a daydream about what karaoke song i'd like to perform.
today, while listening to the 80s rock radio station, my scene was in an 80s night themed bar, where they were playing "jack and diane".
"hey, my boobs are named after this song!" i exclaim, just oozing coolness.
my coworker gets a confused look on his face, begging for explanation.
i launch into a monologue about how the last time my boobs were named, it was by 14 year old boys and it was time for them to grow up. really, i thought this was a normal occurrence. this time around, i left it to a friend to name, and he got flustered and eventually chose "jack and diane."
just as my fantasy was about to turn in my favor and my coworkers were going to exclaim how amazingly cool i am, guess what song came on the radio and snapped me back into the real world?
it was perfect. and my boobs were very happy.

no sir
really, guys? no one has any suggestions? i spent the day with my mother and she pulled a bunch of bad puns from the internets and made fortunes out of them. my favorite might be "an asteroid is going to hit you in the head, and you will meteor maker" and "three of your fingers want to write, but your thumb and forefinger are opposed."

silver spoon
so, i want to make fortune cookies for the office kids this weekend, but i'm having a little trouble thinking of fortunes that aren't references to OE sketches. while that sounds hilarious for me, i doubt my boss would enjoy getting a fortune that says "you earth queers are all right."
any suggestions?

oh yeah
how many more days in this fucking contest? after it's done, i should calculate the percentage of posts that actually said something other than "i'm bored", "i have nothing to say", and "i'm tired". i'm assuming i'm looming somewhere near 10%.

so come on and dance with me
change is a good thing, right? growing is always positive, and moving on from certain periods in your life is healthy and sometimes refreshing. but stopping to think about it, sometimes, is incredibly saddening. even though she was immature and young, the girl i used to be also was confident and courageous. the girl i am now envies that.
recently, i got in touch with an ex-boyfriend, who i have not really spoken to in 5 years and who i have not gotten along with in 7. we were playing catch-up, which can be nice. he asked me if i still kept in touch with a mutual friend of ours, who was the first boy i really fell in love with. i said no, because we have drifted apart over the years. i still think about him, and i know he's happy in what he's doing now, and i'm happy that he is doing so well. but on another hand, i miss the boy i loved much more than the boy he is now. the boy i loved is gone. the boy who rocked an inconsolable version of me on his back porch at his going away party before he left for college, because i was so upset about him leaving. the boy who sat me on his lap, away from all the other guests at his party, in his apartment, softly singing in my ear.
i know when i type that that it isn't really true. that moment is gone, and the circumstance is gone, but there's still a part of that boy that will do anything to console a friend. knowing that helps, but i still can't call whoever he is today because he changed his phone number and i was not on the list of people who got the new one.
all in all, i think i do a lot of complaining about people changing, and especially myself - i know i'm a better person now, and more well-rounded, but i really miss the girl who i used to be. i say this over and over. i pretend it's a profound thing to say every time i say it, which only makes it more ridiculous. what it all boils down to, though, is that i have a few things i need to say to a few people, and i wish i had just a little bit of that former-self's courage.
