I’m currently at my parent’s house and can’t sleep…no sleeping pills. Gah, it’s hell. But I couldn’t go home tonight. I am sick of being in a house alone. I’m lonely. I don’t have god, or religion to keep me company anymore. Ignorance was such bliss in that regard. I almost wish I had never reached the level of awareness I’m at right now. I miss being able to pray to someone, to...
Ouch
After reblogging something, my tumblarity dropped by about 15 points. Ouch. Is there a dislike button I am unaware of?
Fake Fights
Sometimes when I am frustrated with something or someone, I create these fake fights in my head where I imagine saying all the things I would say, without actually having to put myself out there and say them. Well, in this fake fight, I insulted someone by calling them a statistic.
But you know what? That is not an insult! You wanna know why? We are all fucking statistics!

My Wifey
So prepositionalphrase and I are involved. Whenever one of us is panicky or feeling inadequate, we call the other to make each other feel better. Today I called her. Here are the highlights:
Me: I suck
Megan: No you don’t
Me: I suck at finances.
Megan: Oh, well yeah…
Me: I overdrew my account and I wasn’t even spending money! I am going to have to become a prostitute!

Traumatic Insemination →
bestofwikipedia:
Traumatic insemination, also known as hypodermic insemination, is the mating practice in some species of invertebratesin which the male pierces the female’s abdomen with his penis and injects his sperm through the wound into her abdominal cavity. The sperm diffuse through the female’s hemolymph, reaching the ovaries and resulting in fertilization. The process is detrimental to the...
Starbucks makes us Poor
Today, Alec and I were having a conversation with a customer named John while he was waiting for his drip coffee to brew. Here is what we talked about:
1) How Alec is a slacker and should stop sitting on his tush (because he is applying to NYU and Yale)
2) How Alec and I are super poor because we can’t afford new shoes, even though both of us have holes in our shoes and when we walk in...
Confession
I suck at matching my socks. They refuse to have mates, so I have given up spending hours matching up my socks with their appropriate mates. I have one pair that are blatantly not matching because one is brown with palm trees, and the other is white with monkies on it; I pair these socks together because they are tropical themed.
Okay, so I apparently

reblog just a little too much if somethingintellectual, christinefriar, and brokenbirdy are actually in my list.
Either that, or I should start captioning pictures I reblog.
Hmmm.
But at least you have reading in yours!
12 Year old Dreams
1) I had a dream last night that I stole four puppies from the pet store (I only say stole because I didn’t technically pay for them, but the woman let me walk out with them).
I didn’t know where to put them because I knew my mother would be mad, so I hid them in my sister’s room because she already had a kitten in there.
But then I forgot about them and they miraculously...

You’d think with the effort it took to make this, someone would have cured cancer or gotten the troops out of Iraq by now… although I totally cracked up in the end….
I think I have the HIV
Today at work, this crazy man came in, dancing around awkwardly in the lobby, trying to get to the bathroom. In retrospect, I think he was doing the pee-pee dance. When he gets out of the bathroom, he comes up to the counter, takes off his hat very dramatically, and ends up flicking a ton of what I thought was water, all over my arm and my face. I yelled, “eew!” and glared at him until...
Life Revelation
So today while driving home from work, I realized something:
My relationship to my sister and her new kitten is similar to a slutty teenager who has a child and her grandmother. In this situation, my sister is the slutty teenager who has a child (the kitten) and I am the grandmother. My sister is technically the mom, but she doesn’t take responsibility of her child because she’s too...
Starbucks Nightmares
Brother, remember when I used to meet up with you at K.O. and get a Blue Moon and bitch at you about high maintenance customers? Well, have I got a fucking story for you.
On Saturday, an hour before my eight hour shift was over, a couple came in and ordered the following:
1. Iced decaf grande in a venti breve triple the caramel, with whip, extra ice, caramel macchiato
2. Venti extra caramel...
These are the things I wish I could tell my...
1. I am still looking for a Thai restaurant that doesn’t have the word “Thai” in it.
2. Stephanie still likes girls.
3. Bryan is a d-bag.
4. I miss you.

You are a very social individual. You must be able to talk to your sex partner before making love. You want the object of your affection to be socially acceptable and good looking. You see your lover as a friend and companion. You are very sexual and sensual, needing someone to appreciate and almost worship you. When this...

prepositionalphrase:
that keeps you from getting too sloshed when you know you’re headed for an evening of binge drinking. It’s a little gross, but you’re supposed to eat a tablespoon of olive oil. Apparently the oil coats the inside of your stomach, forming a sort of barrier that keeps you from soaking up the booze too quickly. I’ve never tried it before, but I’m headed to a flip cup...
