(Lean On Me, Cast of Glee)

GLEE is the thing in the world making me ridiculously happy lately.

It’s so pretty and easy and while I know it’s TV candy, that doesn’t stop the goosebumps that crop up every time someone breaks out in song. Yup … goosebumps.

In other news: I am still completely unable to carry a tune.

My twerpy little sister and her twerpy little friend like to make fun of M. and I because we “prep” days before parties. But advance planning is the key to health and happiness, as ~~compulsive~~ frequent hosts know.

Sleepy Time

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:54:22 -0800

I had the strangest dream last night. I was in Japan, and suddenly there was this wind, and all of these old Japanese men (who just happened to be holding red and orange umbrellas) were swept up into the sky.

It was somehow my fault.

Also there was a house on stilts that looked like a catepillar.

How I Came to Want a Bunny

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:30:22 -0800

Shosh: question how do u geo-target an announcement?
Me: manually ... export the member list, sort by either city, state, or zip ... and invite only those members
Shosh: ooh fun ... ok ... thanks
Me: sorry it couldn't be "ride a roller coaster and pet a bunny"
Me: the answer is (sadly) never that
Shosh: hahahahahaha
Shosh: its more like petting a bunny while on a roller coaster ... try that ... doesnt sound fun ... or safe
Me: for the bunny
Shosh: or the person holding it
Me: now i want a bunny

imgfave | From hootnoodle This is how I’m feeling today. Just came in direct conflict with this urgent “fuck … do something or you’re going to die mediocre!” feeling. How the hell does that happen on a Monday morning?

Trying to say "i love you so hard, dummy" via mixtape ...

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:02:17 -0800

This will be third in a series of soundtracks. The first two came easily, but were less … direct. I’m struggling with #3.

What songs MUST be on this mixtape?

What I Should Have Said: Sure ... whenever "headliney" becomes a word and when you pony up and admit that "we" = me.

I love blogs that are all about the good stuff. Lists of joy. Life is GOOD people … even when it’s bad. Let’s not forget that, eh?

(Someone tumbled a specific blog post from here, I clicked away, and then lost the tumblr thread … so I’m sorry if you deserve credit for pointing me this way and I didn’t give it to you. Let me know and I’ll edit you in.)

Just did a quick side-by-side comparison between the cities (or villages, as the case may be) where I’ve lived, and the one (ahem … San Fran) on the “maybe very probably next” list. I’m just happy that the site didn’t audibly laugh at me when I typed in “Hicksville, OH,” which is what usually happens when I mention my hometown by name. (The percentage of people relocating out of Hicksville was lower than anticipated … but that accounts for the odd collection of people I see when I visit. They’re not going ANYWHERE.)
