I guess spring is hereI was a little jealous they were getting it so good, but there's not enough coffee in the world to give me that kinda energy in the AMMy guess is they were up all night drinking tequila and experimenting w E. Seriously. You shoulda seen some of the things they were doing


i want to reach a level of success where i don't have to poop 18 inches away from my co-workers.

Watching blues clues about the water cycle. (vapor, rain, evaporation, snow, etc) makes me wonder where the water in my coffee has been.My coffee may have been dinosaur pee once upon a time. Your coffee was probably Courtney Love's pee. I'd get to a clinic If I were you.


The eggs you eat are NOT undeveloped chickens. They aren't fertilized. You are basically eating the hen's period. SO much different.

blackbelt said...

I've been stalking you but I haven't read this before. But it's going to take me about a month to read them all. Cuz I'm gonna actually have to think about each one. See, you go around thinking these things on a minute-by-minute basis, and so even though you're like younger than a baby sister to me, I've got catchin up to do.

A Free Man said...

Man, I thought I wrote a steam of consciousness post yesterday - I don't know for stream of consciousness.

Heather said...

That is also why I don't make out with high school girls.

I always sing Paradise by the Dashboard light loudly when it is on the radio. I feel for the guy.

I totally get turned on by hardware stores.

Re: Greenpeace. They were stalking me in Chicago last year and I was ready for it to end.

Haley said...

A. I am a pretend adult too, but I don't pretend to be one...I openly tell everyone that I still feel like a 15 year old playing house with her boyfriend. B. I get to wear scrubs to work everyday...Its great...you don't have to worry about what you look like on a fat day and they make some cute ass scrubs too! Oh yeah, and I get them at cost from where I work...it's amazing. C. I also have a caffiene addiction...it sucks...try waking up at a friends house after a long night of drinking to find out they don't have a coffee pot! WTF!

Janna Bee said...

This is why I follow you on twitter.

PS I am a pretend adult too.

Cara said...

WOW!

I hate when I hear a noise in the middle of the night, think its the cat...and find her at my feet.

slacker-chick said...

You're amazing! How do you think of these things? BTW I was so going to ask you to take care of my cat when we go on vacation but now that you might eat her...no way.

susanlindgren said...

I used to take care of this mean old lady, cause that was my job at one time wiping old people ass, and she always said to me "You think your so cute don't ya." I loved when she said that so I'd be a total smart ass so she'd say that to me, over and over.
All I could think of while I read this was "You think your so cute don't ya?"

Joe said...

Ummm... WHEN you go all the way bald? Not IF?
