mark your calendars

la la la i had a gooooood day! and that's pretty much all i've got right now. i'm not that dramatic (at least i don't think i am...), but i think we can all agree that it's been a bit dramatic. but if what goes up must come down, it's only fair to think the opposite would work the same way. worries, be gone. sure, they'll be back. but for now, holla holla holla, troubles of mine. see you on the flipside. : )

check it, toto

so i wrote this post not too long ago (and, as a sidenote, i would put a link to it on the word "here," all fancy like, but i have neither the smarts nor the energy to find someone with the smarts to do so. please continue.) about appreciating the tempo of my life, regardless of whether it can be described as rapid-fire or glacial. i wrote that then, when my life could be described as the latter, and i was secretly hoping things would pick up. well, here i am to tell you that your mother was RIGHT, ducklings: you must be careful what you wish for. jeeez louiiiise things are crazy right now. seriously, crazy. and if you and i talk on the phone more than once a month, then you know all about it. and if we don't, it's probably better that you don't ask, or care, for that matter. because being my friend right now, sadly, involves nursing me through damn near every day that goes by. i'm not self-reliant right now, i'm not head-held-high right now, i'm not as invested in anyone else's life as i should be right now. i am an attention hog and, unfortunately, it's necessary. so what i'm saying is (again, can i say what i mean in less words? ever? i could probably highlight several "heres" right about now.), friends, just bear with me. it'll all come out in the wash. it always does, and it always will. and i promise that sooner rather than later (please please please) i'll be boring again and i can be better. until then, thanks if you're sticking it out with me. : ) xoxo

human weeble wobble

i can't say much, but i can say this. and it's not really fine, but it probably will be. : )

for real, though

how many beers do you have to drink before you realize you've gained 65 lbs? one tear falls for having to buy fat pants.

thursday things:
1. i am, as stated, bored off my asssssssss, although
2. i have plenty that needs doing, so maybe my problem is
3. i'm unmotivated.
weeknights are too short lately. when did that happen? every single day lately, i can't believe it's already 11 or already midnight. then i oversleep, then i do not look cute, and the cycle continues. maybe it's just this time of year. i know some of you hate on february (and boy, do you!), but i see the year's shortest month as just one more stepping-stone to longer days. so i say, bring it on feb.
i just bought kate nash's new album. go pick it up. or, for the more tech saavy (i envy you), download the songs. is that what you do? anyhow, get it soon, one way or another. you'll love it. and if you don't, you can check "trying something new" off your list of resolutions.
ANNOUNCEMENT: come see me. if you're reading this, i miss you. you don't even have to call first... although i'd prefer it if you did. would it help if i said please?
p.s. in case you're wondering, we patched it up. of course we did. : )

jokers to the right

uh oh... trouble trouble trouble. do you ever get caught up in other people's problems, no matter how badly you try to stay out of it? yuck. i'm in a bit of a pickle, because if i get involved i'll probably screw it up even worse than it already is. but if i keep my mouth shut (i'm trying, i'm trying, i'm trying) then it's as though i don't care, and i do.
i got my own worries, now, chil'rens. don't muddy me up if it's none of my nevermind.

extra extra

these t-shirts will be available soon on cafepress.com, courtesy of my roommate slade and i, who had WAY too much fun watching the caucus tonight. i'm 100% arkansan, but mike huckabee? seriously? *sigh*
p.s. who besides me thinks keith olbermann is damn near the most attractive man over 40 ever?
