I'm hoping that I will be a much happier camper a week from now.
Not that I'm annoyed.
I know I'll have a job very very soon.
That's very good.
It's just... I need to know I can actually DO the job, and despite the reassurances of myriad people... that's just not something I know.
And I'm so grateful for the people who have put up with my sighning and long pauses and refusal to just be fucking chipper. Well, there's only one of you on here that's done that... but I'm just saying it for all the flesh people too.

It will work out. I really just have to keep telling myself that.
I'll be a total basket case for about a month.. but I'll be a *busy* basketcase and that's really what it's all about, ya know.
I'll also be a basketcase that can pay back the mom, rebuild the bank account and finally, maybe, get another car.. heheh.. not in a month... but you know what I mean.
I need to make a list of the things I want to do.
So that I don't veer from my path (by too much)

I am not a nice person.
I know this about me.
And in my best stuart smalley.... that's... okay.

Cats have this way of making you forget why you're angry at them.
12 years old...
and he decides to pee on my bathroom door while I'm in there.. and I can watch the lil puddles move across the tile...
ten minutes later, I'm sitting on the couch in my room, and he's sitting next to me and I'm petting him and I actually don't mind. And never occured to me that I was pissed at him until later...
Sort of like some men...

Gasoline Dreams - Outkast


Don't everybody like the smell of gasoline?
Well burn motherfucka burn American Dream
Don't everybody like the taste of Apple Pie?
We'll snap for your slice of life I'm tellin' ya why
I hear that mother nature's now on birth control
The coldest pimp be looking for somebody to hold
The highway up to Heaven got a crook on the toll
Youth full of fire ain't got nowhere to go nowhere 2 go

Okay .. okay .. I'll stoppit


ANKARA, Turkey-

Ethem Sahin thought his friends were kidding when they told him how he ended up in the hospital. But they witnessed the cow fall through the roof of the coffeehouse where they were playing dominoes and knock Sahin unconscious.
"My friends told me later what happened. I couldn't believe it," Sahin told the Anatolia news agency.
Sahin's wife, Rahime, was equally incredulous.
"They told me that a cow fell on top of my husband," she said. "I thought they were kidding me. May God protect us from a worse accident."
Sahin was treated in the hospital for a broken leg and needed seven stitches to his forehead after the freak accident Tuesday int he central Anatolian city of Nevsehir.
The cow apparently wandered from the hillside where it was grazing onto the roof of the coffee house, which was built into the side of the hill.
The cow was not seriously injured.

don't pull your hair out.

And don't drag your family members into arguments that you start when you're feeling confrontational.
And don't snort coffee through your nose.
Don't breathe sand blasting grit
Don't wear black sandals, red shorts, and a bright blue t shirt.
Don't let your eyebrows grow out.
Don't let your teeth rot.
Don't be a prick.
Don't be a prick and then get angry when no one laughs at the jokes you're making ten seconds later when your arbitrary mood penduluum has decided to swing yet again and you're tryin to be funny.
Don't leave your toothpicks everywhere.
Don't be an intimidater.
Don't think I can't hurt you back.
And don't be a prick
