brandywine28I went the whole summer without posting! I'm the worst!
And it's not like someone flipped my off switch and stuck me in storage at the end of May. I had thoughts and feelings and opinions during that time. But I didn't share any, and now they're lost. Lost to the mists of eternity.
Shame, that.
Y'know, as easy as it is for me to convince myself that no one looks forward to my entries, or cares all that much about what I write here, I think the real problem is most likely that I'm just not a very good journaler.
Anyway!
-- A quick skim of my last entry tells me I was in a bit of a funk when I wrote it. And handling the whole thing kind of whinily. Sorry about that. But I got my sense of humor back, if anyone was worried! Yep, I'm laughing all the time now. Constantly. Maniacally. Like a wild-eyed cartoon scientist holding a mysteriously smoking beaker. See? No cause for concern, folks! None at all!
-- Last night I dreamed that I changed my username on every platform to "Luscious_Plum" (with an underscore. The underscore was very important.) I cannot begin to understand how my sleeping brain came up with that word combo, but dream!me felt this was a really good idea. Awake!me can't stop giggling. (Again, maniacally.)
-- My birthday was actually pretty okay! Quick and painless, which is about the best I can ever ask for.
-- Something is happening to me. I think I'm turning into Phoebe Buffay. A real, actual thought I had the other day:
-- "Omg, I'm so glad I'm a September Libra and not an October Libra; those people are crazy."
-- I mean, I stand by it. But...yeah.
-- Then again, maybe it's just a numbers game? Chris Kirkpatrick notwithstanding? Maybe their percentage of oddballs is totally average, it's just that their quantities are so, so vast that it messes with the perspective a little? Because I swear to you, more than half the people I know were born in the month of October.
-- Parents be copulating on Valentine's Day, yo.
-- So.
-- That's twice now that I've hung out in person withsperrywink, and I'm happy to report that she is awesome. Just in case any of you were lying awake at night, worrying that maybe she's not awesome? Well, you can rest easy.
-- I got an 'Ay, Mami' walking down the street this morning and when I turned around I saw that it'd come from a tiny, middle aged white guy who gave off a strong George Costanza vibe. He looked utterly shocked that he'd said it. It was kind of funny.
-- I'm usually pretty humorless about that kind of thing, but I decided to let it go this time. I am a very kind person.
-- I'm binging The Handmaid's Tale at the moment, possibly because I hate myself. I only have two episodes left and all my current fantasies involve putting on a single stiletto shoe and kicking Christopher Meloni in the stomach. (And then removing it immediately, 'cos I can't walk in those things. I can't even stand perfectly still in those things.)
-- In boyband news...uh. Is there any?
-- I still haven't forgiven Brian Littrell. I'm sure he'd be heartbroken to hear that.
-- And of course everyone probably knows by now that Joey Fatone has left his wife and is, I guess, running around with some heavily contoured Instagram lady. Which -- fine. It's fine. Marriages end every day and his is certainly none of my business.
-- it's just...
-- it's just...
-- Come on, man. If you're gonna have a midlife crisis, can't you at least make it an interesting one and maybe not another rehash of The Oldest Divorced Guy Story Ever Told? Jeez. So boring! So predictable!
-- There. I feel better now. Sometimes you just have to get a lil' judgmental.
Is that all? God, I kind of hope not, 'cos it's not really much of a list. There has to be more.
Yes. Yes, I choose to believe there's more, and I will remember it and share it in due course. I will! I really mean it this time!
(I missed you all, by the way. Loud, obnoxious kisses!)

Date: 2019-10-18 01:04 pm (UTC)It pains me to say this, but Joey has earned himself my biggest ever eye roll. When my retinas permanently detach, I'm gonna tell the optometrist to send him the bill; he can use his hot dog money to pay the damn thing.
