LOLWUT? Pt. 2

Today at work, someone told me that I looked white. They also asked me if [the totally fake medium ash blonde] was my natural hair color. Don't know what to make of that. Um...


I think I have the swine flu. For real this time. The girl who sits next to me in Intro to Children's Literature suspects she has it, so if she does, so do I.


I bought $100 worth of a dress, a skirt and a top today = I am broke and in dire need of sangria. Oh, I forgot the shoes. Make it $100 +.


LOLWUT?

Evolution

Wow. I am in shock. I have reached a critical Twitter/Blip point. Fifty-one tweets & blips in less than 24 hours. Fifty-fucking-one, and more are likely to come within the next few hours. I need help. I've become everything I disliked about Twitter.

BTW, I'm extremely obsessed with the Black Kids today. Not quite as obsessed as I am with MGMT's Kids, or Loquat... ages away from being as obsessed as I am with NIN, but an obsession is an obsession nonetheless. This one is a very silly, girly one.


*** EDIT: Ok, so some of those fifty-one tweets & blips are from today too, but it's still fucking ridiculous. I should just put myself out, I'm ashamed of myself here!

Reckoning

I stand corrected. I knew this would happen, but I wasn't humble enough to admit it.

I was wrong.

I know, I know, that's far too unlikely but... meh, everyone makes mistakes, even myself on some extremely rare occasions.


MGMT's Oracular Spectacular doesn't suck.




... But Vampire Weekend still does.

"Bridget Jones, wanton sex goddess, with a very bad man between her thighs..."

The other day, I indulged in the most definitely guilty, awkwardly witty and surprisingly refreshing pleasure of watching one of my all-time favorite chick flicks, Bridget Jones's Diary (the original, not the awfully sub-par sequel), for the 13566987097097th time. This time, I couldn't help picking up on the similarities between lonely, clumsy loser Bridget, and yours truly. I mean, seriously, the resemblance is uncanny... except for the fact that I'm actually not overweight (which she absolutely wasn't either, in the first movie, at least) and I'm not a natural blonde. But yeah, so I was watching, and being as hopelessly addicted to using Twitter to talk about every insignificant event in my dull little life as I am, I just had to tweet about it.

iGotSurvivalism I just realized I'm fucking Bridget Jones. not ideal, but so very true =/
7:27 PM May 3rd from web

Surprisingly enough, someone replied to that tweet, and what followed was this sort of funny dialogue:

TwitterPal1 @iGotSurvivalism zomg you gonna fuck Colin Firth?
7:29 PM May 3rd from TweetDeck in reply to iGotSurvivalism

iGoturvivalism @TwitterPal1... yup, and Hugh Grant ;) hmm, so it's not so bad after all...
7:30 PM May 3rd from web in reply to TwitterPal1

TwitterPal1 @iGotSurvivalism and u have super duper friends lol
7:30 PM May 3rd from TweetDeck in reply to iGotSurvivalism

iGotSurvivalism @TwitterPal1 very true.
7:34 PM May 3rd from web in reply to TwitterPal1


... Of course, someone called Sarcasm McCynic replied as reads:

TwitterPal2 @iGotSurvivalism Whaddaya mean? Do you obsess about the size of your butt all the time?
7:31 PM May 3rd from web in reply to iGotSurvivalism


LOL... =/


Now, towards the end of the film, I realized that I very well could be a younger, musically-educated version of Ms. Jones, sans hot dudes/firepole. And, just as TwitterPal1 mentioned, I have the most awesome friends ever. Sure, they might piss you off more often than not, they're a pain in the ass to hang out with when they're stressing/PMS'ing, they tease you, they're mean to you, they freak you out about the swine flu outbreak... Yeah, they suck balls sometimes. But then, they pull little miracles from under their sleeves when you least expect them, and they sure make your days brighter and your cloudy, gloomy mood take a couple hours off from time to time. So, yeah, I love my friends. I just wanted to make sure that was clear. Because you cannot believe how fucking cool they are.

This is how I spent my (originally depressing-as-hell) May Day, thanks to one of my awesome friends:














BTW, that cherry stem? I tied it. With my tongue. Yup.


I've finally embraced my inner Bridget. As TwitterPal1 mentioned, I get to "shag" both Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. I mean, that's good enough to make me put on the Bridget pounds. ;)

... Oh yeah. Mich, you're THE BEST. So, if I'm Bridget, you're my Shazzer. *hugs*





SEE?! UNCANNY!!! SHE EVEN WATCHES FRASIER, YAY!

You Know What Else?

I really hate Vampire Weekend. All those pansies/VW-loving hipsters can just suck my cyber-dick.

Liking The Beatles is easy and overrated. Saying you're a Beatles fan gives you way more credibility than you probably deserve. Sure, The Beatles were awesome, no breaking news there. Try saying Lydia Lunch is awesome and proving it. There are other equally talented artists out there who don't get the recognition they deserve, but one thing is truly liking The Beatles and having a taste, and another is not having a strong enough opinion to dare like something else.

I am obsessed with Grey's Anatomy-ish, chick-friendly indie bands, because I am a chick and there's nothing better than a silly pseudo electronic, female-fronted indie band and a crappy rainy day to make you feel like absolute shit. I wish I could stop listening to stuff like that, but I'm a fucking sadist and I don't like myself on occasions. Like, right now.

I am obsessed with the music of Grey's Anatomy. (see above) I am obsessed with Grey's Anatomy, period. God, I wish I could grow a fucking taste for once and for all.

Sonic fucking Youth is one of the most amazing bands in the history of amazing bands.

Gut-wrenching song of the day: Fleet Foxes - Tiger Mountain Peasant Song. Holy hell, I'm depressed.

I still hate everything, except for one thing: The Fragile. Best album ever made.

And that's it.

You Know What?

I have issues. Deep, serious emotional issues way beyond repair. So do yourselves a favor and don't ever love me.

I think I'm having withdrawals. Or a rare case of swine flu that makes you feel all itchy and sick to the stomach.

I hate everything right now.

That's all.

Yet Another Hair Episode

Fuck, finally. It seems that after my last hair ordeal, the unruly mane of tired strands has left its rebel days behind and is behaving quite remarkably.

About DAMN time!



Heh, I love how the new haircut makes my usually flat-as-fuck curls look defined. Yeah, I love my hair now, big deal.

What I don't love? That incredibly pathetic mopey face. Blame the fucking swine flu, and Chewbacca, and the lack of sleep.

What I absolutely hate? Having fucking roots. That's a first I don't think I'll ever get used to. Gross.
