Where were you? I was home. I declined a substitute teaching job that day. I am so thankful I wasn't in a classroom of kids. I turned on my tv in time to see the second tower hit.

Really, there is no need to update my status: today is the same as yesterday. Well, except that I might be feeling a bit more prickly.

Why are people ignorant enough to think they can rob an ATM?

Today, a bank customer told me he hopes Barney Frank gives me a shot in the ass because I deserve it. It was one of those Mondays.

I never understood that Carly Simon song, "You're So Vain." I mean, she says, "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you." But it *is* about him, so how can he be vain for thinking it so? 2009 had its moments, that's for sure, but on a personal level, meaning "it's all about me," I can't wait for 2010.
Travener, you're so vain that you probably thought that post was about you... well, it totally was about you, but you are still vain for thinking that it was about you, which it was. Clearly. About you. :)

Tina Lynn, I absolutely should have included "nachbar!" 'Cept that place deserves its own post.

This is the dumbest list I've ever read! Nobody cares, not even facebook. The entire Internet wishes it could puke right now.

I laughed my ass off with these! I do have a favorite pair though. (:

And to that looser troll: piss off, fart-knocker.

Ragnaar real troll, not like fake dimwit Anonymous who never eat children with herring sauce or face down Billy Goats Gruff.
In defense of my blog post, I did ask for a troll yesterday in Sierra Godfrey's comments.

It looks as though, if you put it out there into the world, the internet gods will reward you!

Diaz, which is your favorite pair? The one about my potential divorce? I think that will be the subject of my next TMI Thursday post. I'll write about being thankful for a forgiving husbter.

is it bad that this isn't the first time i've seen these???
Jm Diaz said…
Yes indeed. Those are the ones! ;)
Sierra Godfrey said…
My favorite was certainly the possible divorce one.

possessive

I watched Hoarders last night. During the first commercial break, I dared to look around my living room and I thought, oh holy mother of four-letter-word. Color me cluttered. Yes, it's true that most of my mess is hidden and collecting dust in the dark, but I know what's there -- like the 100+ VHS tapes in my bookshelf/ media cabinet, for instance. Yes, I love knowing that should I desire to watch my old school copy of Riding in Cars with Boys or Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or The Royal Tenembaums or Serendipity or Ghost World or Memento or... okay. You get the picture. It's there. If I wanted it, it would be right there. Also semi-hidden? Probaby 50+ copies of this weekly magazine from the late 1960's - early 1970's called Story of Life. My grandma gave them to me. Have I cracked the cover of even one issue? Hell to the no. I don't have time for that type of nostalgia. Plus, I can't even find a link for it with a quick google search. Something tha...

First Page Blogfester

Preface: TGIF. It has been a day. So. I'm participating in the First Page Blogfest in which writers around the blogosphere post the opening 24 lines of their WIP. (In a "real" book, this is the approximate amount of work that would appear on page 1!) This blogfest is being headed up by Kelly over at Kelly's Compositions . Please check out the other entries and leave them a comment on their work. My own WIP will be featured on Roni's Beta Club next week, and I chose an excerpt from the beginning one chapter one for critque over there, so today I'll give you the true beginning: the opening lines of my prologue. Here goes nothing. My working title is A SAD SONG IN A FLAT KEY Genre: Literary Fictionspice Prologue May 2005      Laurel sits Indian style. She faces the head of her bed and tries to focus on Cafe Terrace at Night, pretending it is priceless artwork instead of a cheap replica. She counts the tables first, and the...
