Smooch.

Okay, I have to share something that’s pissing me off tonight-- what the hell is going on with all these damn historically/culturally accurate representations of momentous romantic badabums? Okay, you love her, she loves you, there was angst, now you hold hands, the sun sparkles, you breath deeply, lean in and then… you just bump foreheads? No! You’re supposed to kiss! Damn it! I don’t care if it wasn’t appropriate to kiss before marriage during the whoknowswhen-century, I want to see the kiss! I remember movies, oh so long ago, cared about the viewers and gave them the kiss no matter what historical sense it made. Okay, so it’s a movie about a romance in India, I can understand that it would perhaps not be appropriate in that culture to kiss before marriage, but it’s appropriate to me and I want to see the kiss. There is no climax-y love moment without it. Damn.

Pointless bits

I want:
A motorcycle.
A fencing buddy.
and another Betta.

I want:
To have more potted plants.
To have an internal soundtrack.
and to learn Kendo.

I wish:
Word press was easy.
That I traveled more often.
and that I could feel rested without sleep.

I’m going to:
Start stretching more often.
Studying more often.
and sleeping more often.

And for those of you interesting the cure for the common cold, please see the below diagram.



Aleve gives you heart attacks, trust me and my puttering little heart. Stick with Tylenol.

*Squee!*

Well, I’m almost an official grownup. My pretty little hotel sent me out of town on business! I left Wednesday night and drove to Indianapolis to stay the night at the Historic Union Station Crowne Plaza.

*Squee!* Thursday I had an e-commerce training session to learn how to better optimize our website and to better our position on search engines. Not like any of it was anything I couldn’t figure out on my own or ask Spark about. But they paid for meals and 36 cents a mile, so it was worth it.

In spite dealing with the tail end of a cold, the trip went by with few catastrophes. It took driving around the block 6 times before I could find the hotel, but that’s not so bad considering the sideways sleeting rain that interfered with my internal compass. Thursday I woke up with an hour and a half to get ready but still had to run to get to the meeting on time because for some reason, one of my pant legs was hemmed up to a nice appropriate length and the other was dragging on the ground. I fixed that with some last minute safety-pinning.

The meeting went by smoothly but was not overtly friendly. I cannot help, even with a mask of makeup, but look like I’m 15 years old. And my attempt at “conservative dress”, gray dress pants, black high-heeled boots and a white button-up, made me look like a waitress. Not even the way-pushed-up cleavage could help. In this meeting we had about 8 Property Managers, and about 8 Marketing and Sales Managers, and then me… the front desk girl. Thank God I managed to not suck my thumb.

After those joyous 9 hours of fun, it was back home… in the rain again.

And I switched the design around again because the last one had shitty text formatting.

And this is a little screen cap from my first ever video. I wanna start making some. Any tips? Hints? Good movie making programs?

Update:

I’m not quite dead yet. I am though, quite doped up on cough medicine and vitamin C supplements. My entire brain has been blown out my nose in little drippy bits over the last few days, but, according to the dull pain in the base of my skull, I think it’s slowly growing back.

Here’s a cheery picture of my sleep cat to get my stubby lump of a mind off the disease that is slowly liquefying my body.



And if I finally do turn to mushy slush, please, someone pour me into these cute ice cube trays.

I’d like to be frozen until the proper cure can be found.

Today, in celebration of my newly acquired cold, I sing the Crapples song.


I feel like crap, crap, crap, Crapples and bananas.
My brains are pouring out my nose, nose, nose, Crapples and bananas.
I think I swallowed thumbtacks, thumbtacks, thumbtacks, Crapples and bananas.
My lungs are imploding, imploding, imploding, Crapples and bananas.
I want to die, die, die, Crapples… and… bananas!


And this is all my fault-- my fault for having a boyfriend that still looks kissable even when he’s sickly.
