i ended up going for "lesbian or just dumpy?" with the rope pants (actually a piece of tshirt threaded through two belt loops to keep from assflashing the world) as it went with the lack of hair style.
i went with the "crap i have to run downstairs" radiohead sweatshirt and the "giant hole in the ankle" socks with the "there's a hole in the seam" kenneth cole loafer.
i eschewed the actual clothes/shoes shopping portion of our cruise as there is no story funny enough, no tale odd enough, no accomplishment wow enough for her to actually pay attention to.
catch eth chasing her mother as she passes her for the third time in the store. hear eth say quite audibly "this is a woman fleeing her mother" as i went for half a cigarette. see eth run (run eth run!) gesticulating with increasing flagrance as her mother walks by oblivious another time with everyone else surrounding us afraid to laugh or not pretend to ignore us.
ah, a whole day with my mom playing straight man, i had to go for lesbian unchic.
the really funny part was everywhere we went, everyone knew her. of her, that is. recognized her. so when i said "it's my birthday" at starbucks, we got free cake with a knowing smile. and so on and so on.
yes, loreleth and emily gilmore for the middle classes.
this is why i don't have children.
i knew i had to save my running and chasing for something.
Finally headed home, i said, "I can't be mad at you because it's so damn funny."
the only thing she laughed at all day was, "Gee, dad's handwriting is just like yours." but she laughed hard.
i'm going to have to figure our how to stop her from driving, because that level of oblivious is just plain dangerous, and i don't mean just on the road.
she wants a monkey to be her driving eye monkey. this is a joke, but i will not be that monkey.
here i could talk about her playing George Michael. but no.
what's playing when i get in the car?
"Thunderball"
a 007 complication.
so i got dodgy a ticket.
it ain't gonna win.
the number's are:
12 22 39 41 50 (11)
hike!
and i can't stop hearing "the promise" in my head but i don't think i have it.
i was about to go check as i just saw an ad for the local lottery
sorry, but neither am i
but i quite love the thought
this is definitely in my top five birthdays already
check out the thunderball ≡ Click to see image ≡
i was gonna say that, except i may be forgetting something and some people probably think it's so sad such little things to them would make me so happy.
but i was very happy almost all day
and that made it great
for whatever enforced fun people have
or party or show or bar or whatnot
i don't think anyone was as just generally happy with humanity in general on those days as i've been.
but i'm a silly rabbit
someday on a hillside
in italy
i'm not planning to go out tonight, no matter what more offers i have to deflect
like i should, i've been up almost 24 hours thanks to mom
just fielding calls and such
but yes, it is already number three with sapphire bullets of pure love
