31 July 2009

The Song Of The Summer Last night on The Cobert Report, Steven mentioned that he couldnt think of this year's summer song . the song that from now on when you hear it it will remind you of Summer 2009 .

I gave it some thought and I think he just might be right . i've searched the web for emerging songs and nothing really has that summer party feel to it . am i missing something ?

Fucking pissed off. A bunch of people have been asking me for the phone number of someone who is having a party and nobody has invited me to the party. Then I go onto fscebook and my friend who moved across town is talking about how she visited the old neighbourhood - she didn't even let me know this was happening.

I keep the fucking obligatory smiley face on in public but let me tell you if I ever do top myself it will be because of shit like this. I am tired of working so many hours to support the common effort of the community of which we are all members to be sidelined like this.

seriously I would rather be dead than be a second class citizen my entire life. That's an incredibly fucking easy choice.

Oh, man... My neighbor, the Mummy-Trunk Murderer? Who knew? I saw and talked to this guy nearly every single day, for years and years. My husband and I lived one house away from the building that houses the grocery/deli where he worked, and we were in there pretty much daily for seven years. We were casual friends with everyone working there, including him, and he seemed completely (actually, surprisingly - considering that this was the French Quarter) normal. Read more...

Peer-pressure dano into coming to this with me and peeedro. Yeah, but seriously--peeedro had me send him a set list, so we can play together. HUGE new thing for me (and him, I think). Other good, best friends will be there. Make danostuporstar come. Oh, yeah, and and other DC-area bunnies, hit me up.
Mark your calendars, Aug 4 - The latest round of personal stress proved too much for my heart, and on Tuesday I get to experience a massive bypass operation that was considered impossible last year.

I have become completely disconnected from news headlines.
