Migraines make me lonely

I know it's just my body winding down after a stressful day of pretending like it didn't feel like there were ice picks being shoved through my eyeballs from the brain side, but I feel really bummed. I'm cold and tired and every tenth breath comes out in a shivery gasp because my stomach just tensed and made me feel like I was going to throw up, and now, I'm lonely. And you guys know me, I don't get lonely. My biggest complaint is usually that people talk to me too much and take up too much of my time. I hate this.

Anyway, enough blah, blah, blahging. I'm going to fix food. Will be better tomorrow. As always.

I know, I know . . . Chrissy . . . bridge . . . yes, I probably would

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic

Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few.
But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky.

Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski

NSFW . . .

And definitely not comfortable. Who made this ad? The fuck, I ask you, the fuck?

Another great post titled "Oh my!"

This could potentially be pretty damn hot. Go, Jamesy, go.

Well, Chrissy did it, so now I have to, too

Ok, apparently I'm straight edge, which I had to go look up on Wikipedia. The fuck? Am not. I just thought Leonardo was a good role model for me when I was growing up.

I demand lyrics in the cover art to CDs

I never thought this would be a serious issue for me, but it is. Some of you will know that I love The Get Up Kids. Go Missouri-bred bands, there are so few of you.

So here's the issue, they didn't have their lyrics in the cover art for the CD. I can look up the lyrics online, but those people are just transcribing what they hear half the time anyway. They don't know. So here's the line that's troubling me:
"Blind faith doesn't make a sale"
or is it:
"Blind faith doesn't make a sail"?

Logic leans toward the first, but a case could be made for the second as well. It's a little more metaphorical, but the whole song is a collection of one line metaphors and imagery so there's no real reason that that couldn't be the case.

Fucking homonyms.

Great Headline!

Does it bother anyone else that our president's thinking is breaking news?

Unless they're just trying to say he's fucked it up.

Also a great line:

"Hadley suggested the president was getting a feel for the country by watching people from the window of his armoured limousine as he was being shuttled around town."

Oh my!

I bought the Pink Spiders CD Teenage Grafitti which is apparently a sophomore effort. (Yes, I have been waiting a long time to say that). $8 at Target. Buy it!

I now have the strangest desire to have Little Razorblade as a pet name. It's not even a nice thing. He's saying it to a girl he doesn't want to be with any more. But I'm in love.

Also, "pretty as a car crash" and "sexy as the stinger of a hornet in your arm" are some pretty great lines.

Those Wild & Crazy Christians

So I picked up a religious tract, as I'm wont to do when bored while doing laundry. I'd like to read to you a passage about whether or not the holy spirit is a person.* However, I can't read it to you, so I shall type to you a passage:

"When Mary, the mother of Jesus, visited her cousin Elizabeth, the Bible says that the unborn child in Elizabeth's womb leaped, "and Elizabeth was filled with holy spirit." (Luke 1:41) Is it reasonable that a person would be "filled" with another person?"

So, am I as sick as I think I must be to think, "Well, if he's big enough"? Probably, but seriously, the question is just gagging for a dirty response. I would almost think it was deliberate, but nothing else in the pamphlet is nearly as funny.



*Incidentally, in case you were wondering, the Holy Spirit, according to this tract, is not a person. It's a spirit. No, I don't think that that conclusion didn't require 2 pages worth of argument to prove it. Why do you ask?
