because sisters google [20 Aug 2006|01:55pm] (mostly) Befriend or unfriend as you see fit, no explanations necessary. I will be quick to reciprocate either gesture. (first posted 16 June 2004) 15 comments|post comment

[20 Aug 2006|12:35pm] [ mood | ...uhm... ] [ music | gentlemen who fell — milla jovovich ] Okay, so remember that theory I had earlier? Forget that. Today I think that perhaps it's best to be free of (and from) That One Person. You know, The One That Got Away. Think about it. Doesn't the fact that s/he got away imply that perhaps s/he never really intended to stay? And doesn't it also imply that you had to go out of your way to run after him/her in the first place? Now do you really need someone who needs to be caught? PFFFFFFFT! Now hmmmm, maybe I need a theory or two to explain The One That Didn't Get Away Because S/he Couldn't Run Fast Enough ... post comment

are you ready for the time of your life? [19 Aug 2006|09:31am] [ music | caravan of love — the housemartins ] i didn't think i'd ever see this again .... ahhh such good, clean, low-budget fun. yayness! Oh My!  Paul Heaton was such a cutie then ... ... and i still get a kick out of seeing Fatboy Slim in doowhop mode. Hee! 1 comment|post comment

[17 Aug 2006|10:27am] [ mood | curious ] I have a theory. Now I could be wrong on this one. And, in all likelihood, I probably am. But it seems to me that the inescapable (if somewhat overwhelming) truth is that there is just no getting over That One Person. Not completely. Not ever. At best, you can resume living an illusion of normalcy. You’ll laugh, cry, live ... yes, maybe even love again. But never with the same fiery intensity as That One Missed Chance. Would that we could all go through life never actually realising it though. 4 comments|post comment

Dammmnnnnnn! [07 Jul 2006|08:41am] Jason Newsted, on bended knee, proposing marriage on live international tv ... Why don't things like that ever happen to me? (And no, I didn't intend for that to rhyme) 5 comments|post comment

want [28 Sep 2005|04:27pm] [ mood | harhar ] [ music | detachable penis — king missile ] Darth Tater: Evil Rotten Spud "Unable to resist the force of the Tubers, Anakin succumbed in the fields and became the evil Darth Tater. In the process he lost his Jedi roots and became spud ugly, although powerfully well rounded. He ruled with fear and mashed through all those who would challenge him. Except for one Jedi that was mightier than he, and more of a spud with the ladies too. Luke Tuberwalker. In one of the finest battles in Force history, Luke Tuberwalker sliced up Darth Tater with his saber and created a Dark Side of fries which the entire galaxy enjoyed. Some with Mayo. Still others with Ketchup. Both with salt. Ok, we'll shutup now..." "It was just a stroke of sheer genius to combine two of the greatest things in life, Mr. Potato Head, and the sith lord Darth Vader. Enjoy this great moment in history. It may never return again." "Each Darth Tater includes the Tater himself plus thirteen mix and match pieces (helmet, nose, cape, shoes, teeth, face plate, eyes, tongue, ears, arm and arm with light saber) to build your Tater up the way you wanna. Store the spare parts in Darth Taters behind when you aren't using them." post comment

learning to say thank you [19 Sep 2005|04:35pm] [ mood | contented ] [ music | don't need anything — glen phillips ] Gratitude is learned. When the heart is young, it pulses dreams and wants and desires. But youth has a way of deferring to the advancing of the years. And age has a way of seeping into arteries and veins, of clogging their walls with harsh and painful realities, of tainting the blood with a tiny hint of wisdom. In time, the tired, old heart pulses a kind of sober and tempered contentment. One that it never knew was possible so many millions of heart beats ago. And the years will weaken the heart's muscles, as years are wont to do. But they will nonetheless give it better reasons to keep on beating. All I Want (lyrics: Glen Phillips, 1991) Don't Need Anything (lyrics: Glen Phillips, 2001+) Nothing’s so loud As hearing when we lie The truth is not kind And you’ve said neither am I But the air outside so soft is saying everything Everything All I want is to feel this way To be this close, to feel the same All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, I feel it say... Nothing’s so cold As closing the heart when all we need Is to free the soul But we wouldn’t be that brave I know And the air outside so soft, confessing everything Everything And it won’t matter now Whatever happens to me Though the air speaks of all we’ll never be It won’t trouble me And it feels so close Let it take me in Let it hold me so I can feel it say... I've got gardens growing, got quiet days Clothes on my back, food on my plate I got friends to help me if I call for them Well, I don't need anything I don't have I got eyes to see this beautiful land Feet to take me where I want to stand If there's work to be done, there's these two strong hands Well, I don't need anything I don't have I don't need anything I don't have Some years the rains don't come Some years floods clear out the plains But if those waters wash this town away I would still have enough if she was with me I've got a roof overhead, stars if I choose but I've no itch to fly, got no need to move I got almost nothing, but I understand That I don't need anything I don't have I don't need anything that I don't have

[12 Sep 2005|05:54am] Me: Mannnnnnn, I'm getting old. Him: Shut up, I'm older. Me: But I feel older. Hah! So there! Him: Ah, but as me dear old dad always says, "You're only as old as the man you feel." Me: Hmmmm ... so does that mean I should start feeling up younger and younger men? 5 comments|post comment

Paulus est monachus. Nunc Paulus cum mulo in silva ambulat. [26 Jun 2005|11:56pm] After a week of self-study, I can now converse in Latin. But only about monks and donkeys walking in the woods.

[14 Jun 2005|01:47am] Battered and bruised. Sprained, strained and sutured. Infected and injected. Part and parcel of the crash course on Newton's laws of motion as applied to now_a_pumpkin. First Law of Motion: It's often been said that a now_a_pumpkin at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force (such as a nagging parent, a very cute guy or a slice of cheesecake) acts upon her lazy carcass. However, recent empirical data has yielded proof that a now_a_pumpkin in motion — say, hmmm, walking in the rain while in heels — will remain in (uncontrollable) motion unless an outside force — say, hmmm, a big, bad paved driveway — slams into her. From like out of nowhere. Seriously. Second Law of Motion: The force applied to a now_a_pumpkin is equal to the mass of now_a_pumpkin multiplied by the acceleration induced by the force. So if now_a_pumpkin doesn't want to feel that much force ever again, perhaps she'd better not increase her pudgy-assed mass with cheesecake. Third Law of Motion: For every action there indeed is an equal and opposite reaction. So the next time now_a_pumpkin slips and falls, she'd best remember not to kick and hit the big, bad paved driveway in disgust and humiliation. Because, dammit, it kicks and hits right back just as hard. Am also febrile due to another mishap, this time involving an infected digit. If he were alive today, Newton would probably add this now_a_pumpkin-specific fourth law of motion: Each time a disapproving finger is wagged at a severely autistic boy who is throwing of a tantrum, said finger risks getting caught between the teeth of said boy. post comment
