"If you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down."-Gin Blossoms
I know that quote and title seem kinda off, but there's a reason. You see, not much has been going on in the way of Events lately. Demma called wanting to know what was up and I didn't really have anything to say. But in a way, that's a relief. What I mean by that is, no disasters. It may be dullish around here, but it's not bad. No cranky parents. Unlimited access as I fix this page up. No pervs drooling all over me (as yet). No health crisises or family fights. Schoolwork not too difficult (although rather boring), leaving me time to read Bridget Jones' Diary (excellent book- TONS of quotes there). Not outstanding, but for my life, content and Not Bad At All. I'm hoping this isn't some calm-before-the-storm before another family member gets sick or acts like an idiot or another perv creeps up on me or worse that I don't even want to imagine.
I've noticed that when I'm doing relatively well (i.e. no disasters), I don't feel like writing very much. I don't feel very articulate, like I've got nothing to say. Nothing to criticize, I guess- boy, doesn't that make me sound bad?
Was forced to see Granddaddy on his birthday, but (surprisingly) other than the usual stench and having to sit next to him in the car, it wasn't bad. He gave me a purse (okay, so he gave it to Mom and she said to give it to me- but at least it's a GOOD purse), I didn't have to sit across from him at dinner, and surprisingly, he paid for the dinner (this from Mr. Mooch). I am in awe.
I found this on Facing The Mask and just got a kick out of it.
"In the SubGenius religion, there is something known as the "Short Duration Disposable Marriage" which is so well-designed it comes complete with a divorce certificate, just in case you are not completely satisfied. You can get married for a couple hours, a day, a year, or however long you both like."Doesn't that sound perfect for celebrities? I was just thinking (after the Bruce/Demi split- damn, and after 10 years and three kids) that they should have something like this so that the rest of us won't have to see endless specials on "Bruce and Demi's Joint Property- How Will It Be Split?" (hint: they don't know yet) My idea was to have special temporary marriages for celebrities that only last six months. If they want to stay married, they have to send in a renewal form for another six months; if they don't, they do nothing. This would continue until they hit the 5-year-mark, when they would be allowed a Real Marriage for Normal Folks certificate. (I'm the anti-covenant marriage person) Instead of a buncha articles in People on who broke up, there could just be a small list printed of which celebs hadn't renewed. Like the Breakup List on Breakup Girl.
I found this article on online journals in Salon that I liked, and I'd recommend reading it (below).
As for menfolk . . . as usual, things are dull. Cute guy from the front desk hasn't worked it in a week, I've only seen him with the rest of the desk people in the DC. I was pretty pathetic yesterday after dinner as I was standing around in a somewhat skimpy outfit (it showed stomach, okay?) hoping he'd notice it while I was waiting for the rest of my roommates. Of course nothing happened and I felt silly. I also felt silly last night when there was some guy standing around in front of our living room and from the back he looked like The Moron. Creepy.
As you can see, I don't have a lot to say here, which is why I haven't done much.
