Tumbling the Tree

The Dr Phil Show never fails to make me feel better about my pathetic life.

Bits of Friday keep coming back to me, and none of it is a sparkling example of how to drink like an adult.

At one point, this Scottish guy bought me a drink and was talking to me and I interrupted him to make out with the guy I met 10 minutes prior. In front of the Scottish guy. That was still paying for my drink.

That’s rude. Very, very rude.

He still tried to go home with me though. Have you no standards, sir.

Ah. Reminds of a Halloween party I attended one year with the staff of the Fox 45 news. A friend of mine was being courted by one of the cameramen; coincidentally, I knew the Male Anchor (the talent should always be capitalized) from my gym. Was drinking and probably smoking pot; met and fell a little bit in crush with the Weather Guy (on reflection, I’m not entirely sure girls were his primary wheelhouse, but whatevs; we were dancing to Janet videos, it was good) and was getting the return vibes until he walked in on me making out with Anchor Guy (to whom I’d never been attracted). I tried to explain to Weather Guy that it was just a thing that needed to be flushed from the system, but alas, that chance was gone.

Post script: my friend is still married to the cameraman.

I'm going! I'm going. Sweet, sweet caffeinated nectar, I am coming for you.

I can't sit here and listen to my co-worker make an absolute fool of herself on the phone any longer. I'm going to go get a coffee.

Would you bring me one too? I’m too tired to go get it!

spontaneouslove:

in a few hours she had me done. and i even made her sit with me for about half the time because i had lost the will to live. i don’t understand it. it was like she almost enjoyed it. AND she had never seen me not sick so i think that also shocked her into getting done as fast as possible to leave. but let me tell you, it was eye opening. i learned a lot of things.

i am the most inefficient person alive.

i lose focus and my will to live easily.

i would give away my life if it meant i didn’t have to carry it down stairs.

i have never seen half of the things she was finding or have the knowledge of what it was used for.

she makes you feel better.

SHE was productive today, i was not.

she is EXTREMELY patient.

i am not at all patient.

i never want to move again.

she is very good at making you laugh.

i will never move again.

I wish I knew this person talix you speak of!

If you saw the disaster that is my house, you would not think the person who lives there is the same person who helped you pack. Really, it was all about pulling things out of drawers and cabinets, setting up boxes, and shoving things in (some more carefully than others).

And I’m really not all that patient. But I knew you’d feel better if you saw ever-smaller piles of stuff.

And I totally scored some spices and whole wheat flour and baking pans and weights and a beautiful purse!

Anybode seen Bowie live?

…don’t some of you have a three-day week? So it’s kind of like Wednesday? (I’ll just go ahead an punch myself in the face on behalf of those of you working all five days.)

It's not like I have anything against the 90s.

Grunge gaveth and grunge tooketh away (and then grunge sound-a-like riffs remained in Ford truck commercials until the end of time).

Sometimes it just suckerpunches me to see or hear something I associate with that time because it’s like the Pet Cemetary of my mind. Then I have to spend the rest of the day playing Weekend at Bernie’s, entertaining rotting but reanimated memories of pointless research, Marxist boyfriends, light blue bootcut jeans and Ben Folds Five.

*still wears light blue boot cut jeans*

I really hate how, as soon as it gets dark (6:00 P), my body thinks it’s 8:00 or 9:00 and loses all motivation.

I did try to jog a little bit to see if it went better in my old shoes - the answer is an adamant “Hell No”. So I spent big dollars on new gym shoes. Unless I embark on a shin strengthening program, I think the running is out for me.
