I spend most of my time at LJ anymore. I don't know why. I go through phases and so far, that has been the result.
For some reason, I've been listening to Sophie Hawkins "Damn, I wish I was was your lover" pretty much non-stop lately. I was a very big fan of that song in Jr. High. I knew it was a song that Amy Grant would not be singing. My best friend at the time loved Amy Grant.
I just finished Eat, Pray, Love. I'm sad when a book I have enjoyed is finished, because I feel like I must follow it up with something that I probably won't enjoy, something hard to read (The Second Sex, anyone?)...
I want to buy some prayer beads. And a new television. I'm trying to get all of Season 3 of the Office in so I can be caught up when it is go time. I love Jim Halpert. *dreamy sigh*
I'm going to go do my Morning Pages.
lately I've been writing in my livejournal.. I rotate. Between 2-3 right now. I do the same things with my written diaries.. I switch back and forth, so people would have to cross-reference to get any larger picture and if one of the journals were lost, there would be even bigger gaps in my ledgers. Just read the Little Prince. Depressing. Just ate some Trader Joe's burritos. Disgusting. Damn, I will be glad when Autumn gets here.
What are three things you want to learn, and three things you can teach others to do?
Submitted by bookishbiker.
Things I Want to Learn
1) Italian
2) Woodworking
3) Winemaking/Homebrewing/Moonshining
Things I Can Teach Others to Do (God, this is really hard. I seriously have no unique skills. There is a huge gap between things I know how to do and things I could theoretically teach other people to do. Theoretically, I could teach people a lot of things, but in actuality, I'll be lucky to get three here. The list of things I want to learn is a billion pages long. . I don't know. I don't know what I can do.)
1) String a Tabla
2) Spell
3) For some reason, my best friend became obsessed with push-up bras after we lived together. I think she blames me.
I totally just got my first cell phone . (it's a piece of shit) I'm a grown-up now!
call me! no. not really. I won't answer it.
to the windows, to the wall, 'til the sweat drop down my .. hey! I want to go to a strip club!
I went to the Marathon Grill on something and something in Center City last night and it sucked a filthy asshole. But I had some beer that was 9.5% alcohol and by the time I left the restaurant, I was trying to flag cabs by clapping at them. I think that's why I don't have any friends. I'm an embarrassment. I'm a cab-clapper.
"That's right! I'm a player! But that's cool. 'Cause I got it like that."
Genius.
Show us something fluffy.

Umm, this is kind of a cop-out, because I'm not going to take a picture of anything. But one of my favorite shirts of all time was a red sweat-shirt with a picture of lady sheep that said
"Ewes not fat. Ewes just fluffy!"
Best. Shirt. Ever.
I should make one with puff paints.
this time of year really brings out the white trash in me
What's a saying or phrase that's never made sense to you?
Well, where I grew up ( and maybe it's everywhere else, too), people would say "Keep an eye out" or "Keep your eyes peeled" when you were looking for something.
Think about that for a minute.
Keep your eyes peeled.
What?
I need to get some more John Hartford albums. The sirens are constant around here and the constant helicopter flyovers are getting so old. I have a headache because I ran my head into a door. Not on purpose. I have to get a root canal tomorrow. That sucks. I'm 23 now and that's a little depressing, also. I got drunk on Saturday, but that was a mistake. I was quickly reminded of why I don't really drink anymore. I'm watching a documentary on Brazilian favelas. I got my weekly box of organic produce today. I also got the spices I ordered from Penzeys. Hooray for spices! I'm trying to find housemates and that is an exhausting and demoralizing process . It's amazing how quickly I can lose all my dignity for so little money without ever taking my clothes off.
Video: Show us a movie or show that you absolutely can't stand watching.

I don't know.. I get pissed every time I see an advertisement for According to Jim, knowing it has hit the syndication market when shows like Freaks and Geeks and Arrested Development got canned. Yes, I am bitter. And John was hotter. So there.
Totally forgot about Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover. I had that album. I remember there was some other... read more
