LET'S HAVE A YELLING THREAD→[More:]I LIKE TO YELL AT PEOPLE! IT IS FUN! I WOULD LIKE TO YELL AT SOME MORE PEOPLE! STEP RIGHT UP! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!
HOW'VE YA BEEN, PINKY? WAS IT EMERSON THAT SAID YOU HAVE TO SHOUT AT PEOPLE WHO ARE HARD OF HEARING?
HOORAY FOR ME HAVING THE DAY OFF!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY PAL REBEKAH! (I sent her a gigantic cribbage board--the pegs are the size of clothespins or something. But keep this part under your hat--I'd like to surprise her.)
I'M IN LOVE WITH INDIEFEED.COM AND THE IPOD DOCK MY LOVELY GIRLFRIEND GAVE ME! I LISTEN TO MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PODCASTS OF ELECTRONICA AND POP MUSIC WELL INTO THE NIGHT!
THERE'S SOMETHING COMFORTING ABOUT AN IPOD DOCK - I LIKE HOW IT SITS THERE LIKE A LITTLE BLACK DRIVE-IN MOVIE THEATER SCREEN AND KEEPS ME COMPANY WITH IT'S TINY CERULEAN BLUE LIGHT!
LIFE IS PRETTY GOOD, I HAVE SOME VACATION COMING UP WHICH IS SORELY NEEDED, AND TONIGHT I'M BABYSITTING FOR SOME FRIENDS SO THEY CAN SEE IRON MAN. I WOULD LIKE TO GET PAID TODAY (OUTSTANDING FROM THE 15TH) BUT I'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH.
I HAVE SUCH A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT, HAVING JUST ADDRESSED AND FILLED OUT TWENTY BABY SHOWER INVITATIONS. I ALSO BOOKED THE VENUE AND PLANNED THE MEAL. ALL THAT IS LEFT IS TO BUY THE MOTHER TO BE A PRESENT AND PICK OUT A CAKE. SUCKY PART IS THE FACT THAT SINCE THE POST OFFICE JUST RAISED THE RATES FROM 41 TO 42 CENTS, THEY HAVE YET TO MAKE CUTSIE-POO STAMPS AT THE NEW RATE. I HAD TO SETTLE FOR FAMOUS AMERICAN JOURNALISTS.
I AM SO VERY EXCITED FOR THIS VACATION TO START OMGZ. HOWEVER, I AM CRANKY ABOUT THE FACT THAT I WOKE UP THIS MORNING TO A NEW PIMPLE AND FUCKING FEVER BLISTER. SO NOT COOL BODY. SERIOUSLY.
ALSO, IT IS POURING DOWN RAIN HERE AND IT IS MAKING ME SLEEPY AND I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BEFORE THIS DAY IS OVER.
HOWEVER, I AM CURRENTLY ON THE VERY GOOD SIDE OF MY BOSS' BOSS BECAUSE I FIXED UP A SPREADSHEET FOR HIM. ALSO, I FINISHED MY MAPPING PROJECT FINALLY AND AM NOW JUST DOING THE 'MAKE IT PRETTY' PART.
ALL THESE PEOPLE FROM MY PAST ARE CONTACTING ME AND IT'S GREAT! AND I'M GETTING MARRIED IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AND I'M EXCITED! AND THERE'S AN THREE-DAY WEEKEND COMING UP!
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GIVE MY NEW CUBE-NEIGHBOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, BUT MY PATIENCE IS RUNNING THIN! HE WEARS TOO MUCH COLOGNE! HE SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHAT SLOW AND IS DIFFICULT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH! HE MAKES ALL THESE PHONE CALLS REALLY LOUDLY TO PEOPLE WHERE HE IS UNPREPARED AND SOUNDS LIKE KIND OF AN IDIOT! I FORGOT MY IPOD TODAY AND CAN'T DROWN HIM OUT WITH MUSIC!
I AM GOING TO HOUSTON THIS WEEKEND SO MY MOM AND SIS CAN WORK ON MY WEDDING DRESS! AND I GET TO SEE THE SUPER-CUTE 5 MONTH OLD NEPHEW WHILE I'M THERE!
I PLANNED TO WORK OUT DURING LUNCH BUT NOW I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!
OMG I AM THE KISS OF DEATH! DEATH I TELL YOU! TWICE I'VE GONE TO APPLY FOR A JOB I'VE SEEN ON THE JOBSITE THE DAY BEFORE AND TWICE IT'S BEEN GONE!. JUST NOT THERE. IT WILL BE NOT FILLED FOR MONTHS AND THEN I TRY TO HAVE A GO AT IT AND I CAN'T!! IT'S NOT FAIR! I DON'T WANT OUT, I JUST WANT TO BE PAID WHAT I'M WORTH! AND IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, THEN BY GUM I'LL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE A LATERAL JUMP JUST FOR THE SAKE OF JUMPING. ARGH!
I AM FINALLY GETTING SOMETHING GOOD DONE AT WORK WHICH I AM PROUD OF! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN A VERY LONG TIME THAT I AM EXCITED ABOUT MY WORK AND NOT BORED AND TRYING TO AVOID IT!
TONIGHT I AM GOING TO A FANCY DINNER BUT I HAVEN'T PICKED THE PLACE YET AND I LEFT MY GIFT CERTIFICATE AT HOME SO I AM A LITTLE MAD AT MYSELF! BUT IT IS OK BECAUSE I NEVER TOLD MY GUEST WHERE WE WERE GOING IN THE FIRST PLACE SO I WILL BE THE ONLY ONE DISAPPOINTED THAT WE AREN'T GOING TO THE SUPER AWESOME RESTAURANT!
NOW I HAVE TO PICK A PLACE AND THERE ARE SO MANY FUCKING RESTAURANTS IN NY THAT SCROLLING THROUGH OPENTABLE.COM IS GIVING ME REPETITIVE STRESS SYNDROME!
MY FRIEND SMOKED PACKS AND PACKS OF MY CIGARETTES OVER THE WEEKEND, AND NOW HE TELLS ME HE CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THEM! GODDAMMIT, IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS THAT ACCEPTABLE?!?!?!?! I BOUGHT A CARTON SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BUYING ANY UNTIL NEXT PAYDAY! WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK!!!!!!!
THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WHO ARE WORKING ON THE ROOF ACROSS FROM MY BACKYARD ARE FLYING A KITE! FROM THE ROOF! I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SERVING SOME SORT OF "LETTING US KNOW WHICH WAY THE WIND IS BLOWING" PURPOSE, BUT I AM CHOOSING TO BELIEVE IT'S JUST FOR A TOUCH OF WHIMSY!
ALSO, I "GRADUATED" ON SATURDAY BUT I HAVE CLASS TONIGHT. AND TOMORROW NIGHT. AND ALL DAY SATURDAY. THAT SUCKS.
AM HAVING SECOND OR THIRD OR FIFTEENTH THOUGHTS ABOUT MY EX-MARRIAGE AND I HATE THIS FEELING OF WONDERING IF I DID ENOUGH, WORKED HARD ENOUGH, DIDN'T COMMUNICATE WELL ENOUGH. EVEN THOUGH I'M ENJOYING MY TIME WITH MR. CURRENT ONE HELL OF A LOT, WHAT IF WHAT IF WHAT IF?
GODDAMMIT, SELF! WHY CAN'T YOU BE CERTAIN OF ANY DECISION YOU EVER MAKE!?!?!?
NOW THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ARE YELLING "ADRIAN!" AND IT PROBABLY FOR WORK-RELATED REASONS BUT I AM CHOOSING TO BELIEVE THAT IT, TOO, IS JUST FOR A TOUCH OF WHIMSY!
I'M VERY FRUSTRATED THAT I CANNOT CONCENTRATE FOR MORE THAN MAYBE ONE OR TWO MINhey look it's my turn on scrabulous again this work isn't going anywhere it can wait a moment GAR NONONONONO. MUST. WORK.
I HAVE FOUND AN ONLINE SOURCE FOR ALL SORTS OF GROOVY EARLY R&B AND JUMP BLUES, WHICH IS MAKING ME VERY HAPPY INDEED. ON THE OTHER HAND (OR FOOT, I SUPPOSE), I HAVE A MOSQUITO BITE ON THE TOP OF THE MIDDLE TOE OF MY LEFT FOOT. EVERY TIME I TAKE A STEP, IT GETS IRRITATED BY MY SHOE. I'M GUESSING MY EMPLOYERS WON'T LET ME GO BAREFOOT FOR A DAY OR TWO, SO I'LL HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO MUDDLE THROUGH SOMEHOW.
THE SHOP JUST CALLED, MY AWESOME NEW FULL SUSPENSION MOUNTAIN BIKE IS SHIPPING TODAY!!! I WILL HAVE IT BUILT AND READY TO RIDE FOR MEMORIAL DAY'S FESTIVITIES AND HUCKAGE, HURRAYYYY!!!!!!
I WISH MY COUSIN HAD TOLD ME SHE'S STARTED EATING MEAT AGAIN BEFORE I CAME UP HERE! THERE'S AN UPSCALE RAW FOOD PLACE IN THE NORTH END BUT IT WAS CLOSED YESTERDAY. WE WOUND UP GOING TO A GOOD THAI PLACE ON BOYLSTON ST., BUT I WANTED TO TAKE HER SOMEPLACE SPECIAL.
MY HOTEL ROOM DOESN'T HAVE A BATHTUB AND I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR A DOUBLE ROOM WHICH DOES.
I PUT A PILLOW OVER THE ALARM CLOCK TO BLOCK OUT THE LIGHT AND DIDN'T HEAR IT GO OFF THIS MORNING...I WOUND UP SLEEPING UNTIL 4 PM!
