The Friday 10

Friday, June 30th, 2006

1) This pink shirt brought to you by H&M. The photo brought to you by Andrea, my fabulous coworker. The exhaustion-chic look brought to you by CorporateLand. Gas station in background brought to you by Exxon.

2)Last night at Science Club was definitely different. There were few enough people around that I got a little experimentational with the music, kept changing the mood around. It was fun, light….I was definitely picking the songs for their words in some cases. I don’t believe it’s a bad thing to experiment. Not at all. Besides, if you don’t, you’ll never know for sure. And believe it or not I actually got Rex to say that a song I played by iiO was “sexy”. Surprise #1.

3) Surprise #2….The Rex Monday landed a PERFECT mix out of my drop of “Kitty Box” by Lil’ Kim. I was shocked and awed. Seriously, when someone pulls off a perfect mix, I don’t care how drunk or sober you are, it sounds tight. And he sounded tight. So he can’t ever call himself a hack again cuz I heard proof. SO THERE, REX MONDAY!!! HA!!

4) I am eating a turkey sammich with everything on it…and drinking a Coke. For breakfast. Chances are whatever I was drinking last night…is still there. I have absolutely no motivation to be doing anything now but stuffing my face and writing this. I am not surprised by this nihlistic feeling. (Tiernan at Science Club introduced me to a new drink called the FB Special. Discuss.)

5) “I traded fame for love without a second thought. It all became a silly game. Some things cannot be bought. I got exactly what I asked for…wanted it so badly. Running, rushing back for more…I suffered fools so gladly. And now I find I’ve changed my mind.”    quote of the day, by Madonna

6) My boyfriend’s birthday is on Saturday and I just don’t know what to get for the man who wants a low-key nothing-day. I’ve thrown around some ideas, so I may just have to bring in the girls *cough* to see what they think. ……ok I wrote another sentence after that but I erased it. Who am I kidding, I’ve already decided what I’m getting him I just have to do it. I just hope that they have it in stock…..shit, I didn’t think about that one did I?  LOL!!

7) Someone is leaving our company today. We’re going to miss him.  He’s moving to North Carolina. In a goodbye card he gave to me, he says that I truly taught him how Macs are better than PCs…and that through me he got to taste some of the best teas in the world. I feel all warm and fuzzy now.

8)Â Must…stop…chewing…pens….

9) Between #’s 5 and 8, I actually picked up the birthday pwesent. I think he’s gonna like it. But ya never know.

10) Boyfriend and I are going out to meet Rex and Mr. Hottie Bartender Hunk tonight at Remingtons. Maybe we’ll see you there!!

George Michael – New Single

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

I’ll go the way of Mr. Horse on Ren & Stimpy…..”yes sir, I like it…”

George Michael, Â “An Easier Affair”

“Here comes one for the ladies
For the ones who love me
To think I thought I could be some kind of family man
I told myself I was straight
But I shouldn’t have worried
‘Cos my Maker had a better plan for me

“And I’m dancing with the freaks now
I’m havin’, I’m havin’ so much fun
What you sow is what you reap now
I’ll do my dance with everyone
I’ve been getting too much Sun
(Yes I’m dancin’ with the freaks now)
We’re havin’, we’re havin’ too much fun for them
Look who’s talking Guilty feet now…

“Well let me tell you people
It’s an easier affair
Not living my life with other people on my mind
No, got nothing to hide from anyone
Yes, I’m walking on new air
Just living my life
Better believe I’m gonna get what’s mine
See I don’t have the time
For the haters

“And all the time that I wasted
How careless of me
Too young and stupid to see
I put my life in their hands
(Gonna look for Cupid, man)
Oh, and I know that they want me to hate them
There’s no hurry
I’ll just have to be the bigger man

“Dancin’ with the freaks now
I’m havin’, I’m havin’ so much fun
What you sow is what you reap now
I’ll do my dance with everyone
I’ve been getting too much Sun
If I turn the other cheek now
Would that be, would that be too much fun for them?
Look who’s talking
Guilty feet now…

“Well let me tell you people
It’s an easier affair
Not livin’ my life with other people on my mind
No, got nothing to hide from anyone
‘Cos I’m walking on new air
Just living my life
Better believe I’m gonna get what’s mine
See I don’t have the time for the haters

“Don’t let them tell you who you are is not enough
Don’t let them tell you that it’s wrong
Or that you won’t find love

“Don’t let them use my life to put your future down
Don’t let them tell you that happiness can’t be found

“For my life

“Take it to the streets
There are stories you can keep
They’re just passing you by

“Don’t let them tell you who you are is not enough
Don’t let them tell you that it’s wrong
Or that you won’t find love

“Don’t let them use my life to put your future down
Don’t let them tell you that happiness can’t be found”

[1122AM] Me: ROFL!!!!! You should make a blog so I can link you…cuz this conversation is getting posted.  Why??
Â

[1123AM] Latty: Oh I always wanted to be a mega-star in the Subway State!  But check this out…I was riding the bus home from work on friday night and I was really tired so I thought I would sit in the back. Well this baptist lady came up to me and demanded I get up so that she could have my seat. I was just sitting around my apartment saterday night with some friends and the idea popped into my head. Martin Luther Queen.
Â

[1124AM] Me: Oh…my….  That’s too much.
Â

[1129AM] Latty: I think it started when we were naming the worst drag names ever and I came up with my alter-ego Katrina Victims…

Â

[1129AM] Latty: LOL! Thanks.  *shines crown*

Â

[1130AM] Latty: Damanda Answer…. Helena Handbasket…. Sofanda Vodka…. Eva Ore…
Â

[1130AM] Me: I take it back. The crown is yours.
Â

[1132AM] Latty: And as my first royal order, you should really eat something more substantial than hotdogs and beans for breakfast.
Â

[1134AM] Me: What are you talking about?! It’s extra yummy goodness.
Â

[1134AM] Latty: I guess it is almost an English breakfast….
Â

[1135AM] Me: THANK you. That was the point. At least you picked up on that part.
Â

[1135AM] Latty:Â Oh and If you do post the begining of this conversation and you decide to use Mutts Icons I would prefer to be Shtinky Pudding.
Â

[1135AM] Me: Consider it done!!!
Â

Special Thanks To P. McDonnell for creating Mutts, the best comic-strip EVER!!!
