they might go into berzerker mode..

wanna come over for dinner some night?

the picture above is of what i had tonight. i realized that it was an awesome meal while watching “ace of cakes” and thinking about how i want to marry someone on that show because they make cakes for a living. the best part is that i was eating it off a piece of paper that kyle must have left on our little table.

so yeah, come over tomorrow night. i have leftovers from tonight and a whole stack of blank paper.

bring some vegetables.

afterwards we can party in all of this snow.

“taking retards to the zoo”

i get to go on a field trip to the garfield park conservatory on february 8th.  i’m excited to see it.  my big sister holly said a lot of good things about it.

i love being a chaperone on field trips.  especially for the younger kids.  you are supposed to teach them things, and they believe anything you say!  on the field trip to the zoo, we were in the barn looking at the baby chicks, and i said “you know, i was hatched from an egg”, and then they just stared at me.  i’ve always thought it was funny to tell people that ever since high school when jeff, the long-haired, unfriendly gothic waiter at denny’s said that he was hatched from an egg.  but he was serious.

the best part of my day at the zoo came afterwards.  the kids all got off the bus and were all lined up to go back into the school.  i was standing by the door next to the kindergarten class, so i casually asked one of the girls “what was your favorite part of today?”, meaning of the zoo, but she replied, “when i peed in the shower this morning”

the (gay) mustache.

i was just reading phil’s blog and scrolled down to see this-

“In my extensive studies in mustachery I’ve discovered a pattern over time. Observe:”

my favorite part is that the only time mustaches were “too gay” was before 1790.

but then it makes me wonder…

did freddie mercury live his life in vain, or is phil’s graph inaccurate due to the fact that he wanted the results to look like a mustache?

hot shit

today when i walked into work, my boss asked to talk to me. i thought i was in trouble because she shut the door and was talking in almost a whisper. turns out that she just wanted to give me a $2 an hour raise! i was pretty happy because i wasn’t expecting it.

also, i figured something else out today that has been driving me bonkers.

the first guy has a small reoccurring role on reno 911, the second guy is from hot chip, and the last guy is a skateboarder and is on the mtv show rob and big. they all have different last names, but i swear they are brothers. everytime i watched the shows or a hot chip video, all i could think is that they all reminded me of someone else. i finally put it together this morning. the guy from rob and big and the guy from reno 911 even talk alike.

i guess it’s not that important, but i was happy i could finally stop obsessing over who they all reminded me of.

but then again, all white people look the same to me.

speaking of hot chip, they have a new video. i heard some of their other new songs and didn’t care for them too much, but i really like this one-

this is nice. for a commercial.

here are the 5 things i’ve eaten today, in order.

1. rice

2. chocolate

3. popcorn

4. cake

5. pizza.

i’m not in your stars, but it’s still early.

i randomly found this just now. the article accompanying the picture talked about how common valentine’s day presents like chocolate, flowers, and diamonds usually involve slave labor.

but i just thought it was a cute valentine’s day card.

i don’t have a valentine yet, and if the time comes and i still don’t have one, i think i will force caitlin to be mine.

just saying.

i like watching t.v. with kyle the best. i always just end up watching his reactions to whatever we are watching. i’ve never really seen the show the office, but i’ve always meant to. kyle got a season on netflix and he loves it. i sat with him and watched some of it with him the other day. there is a lady on the show who is getting married i guess, and there is a guy who she works with that is secretly in love with her.

in the episode we were watching, he ends up telling her that he is in love with her. kyle’s mouth dropped and he yelled, “oooh, i love how it’s so awkward!” then they end up kissing, and kyle was so excited that he sat back on the couch and kicked his legs.

i really like that i have a roommate that i’m not only not sick of yet, but that i actually miss when he isn’t home.

and he even tells me that the outfits i wear are cute. even though i kinda wear the same thing everyday, and it isn’t particularly cute.

p.s. kyle is straight.

say no

the other day i went to the thrift store and saw a really cool bike. it was cheap too, but i didn’t have enough money on me to get it. i went back to buy it today and it was gone! i was strangely really bummed out about it. like i went home and just laid in bed for a long time. i have a bike now, but i wanted a lighter one because it is too hard for me to carry up and down stairs when i need to take it on the L.

i wiped out for the first time this winter today on my front steps. it was bound to happen, and it didn’t really hurt. the best part is that nobody saw me either. that’s always the worst part about biting the dust, the embarrassment of people seeing you. they ask if you are okay, and you just want to respond with “DON’T LOOK AT ME!”.

a few days ago i heard my neighbor upstairs fall all the way down the stairs in my building. it sounded like a nasty spill. i think it was a drug induced fall. i only say that because she once asked me to borrow $20 for cat food. i of course said no!… i’ve seen her cat, and due to the fact that it is not the size of a polar bear, i doubt the money was really for the cat. but i guess it’s rude of me to assume she does drugs. i used to just assume that nobody did drugs, unless i had hard evidence to prove otherwise, but now i’ve learned that it’s more accurate to assume everyone does do drugs, unless i have hard evidence to prove otherwise. i watch intervention a lot.

i’m just bored and so i guess i’m accusing people of doing drugs. i’m going to go lay in bed now. i should go out tomorrow night or i’ll go mental!

it’s nasty cold.  so cold that after work i had to run back outside just to get the mail, and i actually considered dousing myself in gasoline and setting myself on fire just to do so.  i am grateful for one thing; that now i stay in more and find stuff like this-

these are just a few of my favorites, but i think it would be a very good idea for you to look at everything.  very great! – www.ruthgwily.com 

lies lies lies

you know that rumor that michael stipe and morrissey were boyfriend and boyfriend at one time?  well, they both deny it, but i like to think that it was true.  only because i like to imagine what it was like.  like them sharing an apartment and michael stipe would willingly help morrissey hang life-size morrissey photos all over the place.

people say that morrissey wrote this song about michael stipe-

Found found found
Found found found
Someone who’s worth it

Found found found
Found found found
Someone who’s worth it
In this murkiness
Someone who’s never
Seeming to be scheming

(Oh, but if I’d never found)
(Oh, but if I’d never found)
Oh, but if I’d never found

I do believe that
The more you give your love
And I do believe that
The more you give your trust
The more you give your trust
And the more you give your love
The more you’re bound to lose
The more you’re bound to lose

(Oh, but if I’d never found)
(Oh, but if I’d never found)
Somebody who wants to be
Who wants to be with me …
…All the time

i think that’s a pile of shit.  where are the r.e.m. references then?

  

based only on these photos, who would you rather french?

now, based on what you know about these men, who would you rather have a long term relationship with?
