I Didn't Play With Barbies And Other Reasons I'm Not Cool

I didn't play with Barbies. Or any of those dolls that allow you to give them makeovers with play makeup or by cutting their hair. As a result, I'm cosmetically challenged and have suffered a series of bad haircuts. These are my confessions.

And I Thought I Was A Huge Daily Show Fan...

[www.bringbackthecouch.blogspot.com]
I too was saddened by the set change. The large, round table without the couch seems so uninviting and stiff. Similiar to, oh I don't know, Crossfire.
We know how Jon feels about that.

Like A Pregnant Britney Spears, Living the Dream

I have a little less than a month before I leaving for the land of drunken frat parties.
This? Is an interesting time. Advice is spouted towards me, right and left. In my family, its anything from "stay focused on school" to "use protection." Thanks, but I caught this all on an afterschool special on the N. Degrassi Junior High prepared me for life.
On a positive note, you get a lot of stuff. I got an aweseome cordless vac and a lifetime supply of Cheezums and Laundry Detergent. And a pink nightgown thats not a muumuu not yet a tube dress and makes me feel like a barefoot and pregnant Britney Spears at a truckstop. I really like it. On top of it all, college scares the hell out of me. I don't know what I'm doing with my future. On one hand, I want to major in journalism. On the other, I always wanted to hand out individual sausage samples on toothpicks at an A&P grocery. I could have my. own. booth. I'm going to make everyone so proud.

The Joys Of Being Unemployed

As many of you know, I was formerly employed at the local Chinese restaurant, also known as the reason Bobbie is an overwieght slob in need of heavy Richard Simmons cardio. While I do miss crab randgoon and lo mein noodles, being sans occupation has given me plenty of free time to enjoy being a young, single woman. Time to socialize. Time to live the life.
Time to freebase Reese's Peanut Butter cups and memorize the movie Get Over It starring Kirsten Dunst and Sisqo of "Thong Song" fame.
This is what I've become.
Anna and I finally ventured out of our respective houses to go to the mall and my demigod, fye. I bought O by Damien Rice and the movie Orange County.
Get Over It wasn't in stock. I checked.
Tomorrow, I'm getting a life.
Or maybe just a little crab randgoon.
