- I love cool adults.
- Like the other day at work, I was in the locker room and I dropped my Walkman and the Joy Division CD I was listening to fell out and this new lady who started working at El Target last week and is like 40ish picked it up and was like "Oh no! And what a shame that it happened while you were listening to Joy Division!"
- That sparked a big conversation about great 80's bands and I found out that she loves Joy Division and the Smiths, had listened to New Order on her way to work and was a total 80's gal back in the day and had half her head shaved and she showed me one of her wedding pictures from '87.
- Then the next day she gave me an awesome mix of The Smiths, New Order, The Cure, Depeche Mode, PJ Harvey, Siouxie and the Banshees, and Pixies! I was so stoked.
- Cool children are awesome as well!
- For example, I wish I had been as awesome as these kids when I was 13:
- Bow down to their awesomeness!
- Archer Farms Trail Mixes are deadly. Delicious. But deadly. Especially that Caramel Cashew one. Mmm grrl.
- Brooke got drunk for the first time!
- Tried to get Madd drunk too but she wasn't feeling it.
- Rachel is currently teasing me. Heh.
- And Maddy just found some video on Rachel's camera of me saying to Jake, who was wearing my large red plaid jacket, "You're not a lumberjack! You're a lumberJAKE!"
- Current favorite songs:
- "Digital"–Joy Division
- "Oh!"-Sleater-Kinney
- "In The Morning Linda Dies"–Paleo
- "Tonada Yanomaminista"–Devendra Banhart
- I can never get the spelling of that right. I might've this time. But I'm not sure.
- "Land Ho!"–Mirah
- I wish I could talk like a crusty old sailor with an eyepatch that's got nothing to him but memories of harpoons, nets, boats, and many an elusive fish and whale.
- See, the other day at work, I was bored and drawing on some receipt-tape and I was drawing this old sailor saying this huge monologue about a horrible creature from the deep. It took me awhile to do the lettering and I was focusing so hard on getting it all written out in that pirate-y accent that for awhile, I heard all my thoughts in pirate-speak.
- This was his monologue in case you'd like to hear it.
- "Yar, allow me to regale ye with an old sailor's tale of horror most foul, of the most terrifying creature o' the briny deep I e'er did see, a creature so horrific, the mere sight o' her burnt me left peeper clean out of the socket, thus damning me to cover the smoldering hole with this accursed eye-patch. 'Twas a girl, see. Aye, a girl. But this weren't no ordinary girl! Yar, on her back when she'd be wearing a bathin' suit, where there shoulda been a pair o' pretty white shoulder blades, there was a couple o' ruddy flaming arse-cheeks! 'Old Booty-Back,' the sailors called her. 'Old Booty-Back' indeed..."
- I hate tax-free weekend.
- Because working at Target is a bitch when there's tax-freeness to be had.
- I do however, like those nice people that sympathize and are like "Man, I bet you've been having a crazy day! Blah blah niceness blah blah blah" and then they try to make things easy for you while you're ringing everything up.
- And not to overuse certain phrases/sentence-starters, but I do however, despise those assholes who come through and are tools and act like they've had such a tough day because they've been shopping all day long in a sea of other maniacal tax-happy people and you've got it easy because all you've gotta do is scan shit.
- But um, really? I would like to see those people stand for 8 1/2 hours ringing up a constant stream of other assholes such as themselves with no room to breathe in between.
- I talked to Evelyn for over an hour yesterday! That was the bee's knees I tell you.
- Every time we go for a couple months without calling, I always worry that when we finally do talk, there won't be any connection.
- But of course, then we finally do call, and I immediately remember why she's one of my best friends.
- We always seem to get into some kind of conversation about lame Disney shitcoms that we love making fun of.
- Life With Derek is especially awesome. Why don't they play that more often?
- I hope she comes down to Nashville soon. It's been just over a year since I last saw her and I need my Evelyn fix.
- Rachel now knows my PIN and I was trying to come up with some sort of clever insult that would suggest that she would now go taking lots of money out of my account. So I ended up spluttering out a stammered accusation that she was a Money-Grabbing Luster.
- This goes to show that while I was excellent at improv games in my high school theater classes, I am no good at improvising when it comes to real life.
- Brooke is about to come back over with Panera. And that sounds good 'cause I'm starving and nothing sounds as good as bagel right now.
