I am here for Friends

About Me


Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net

I'm five pounds of cute in a ten pound bag.

I'm a slowly spiraling breakdown looking for a place to land; a beautician with a buzz cut. If Las Vegas is like being conned by a beautiful prostitute and Atlantic City is like being mugged by a crack head, I'm like getting tricked into giving up your seat on the couch in the commercial break by your girlfriend's dog while you're in the crapper. I read the funny bits of books out loud to whomever is around. If you buy me enough beers, I will talk someone into having sex with you. You can drive my car, if you want to. I hate to dance, but I don't mind if you do. You can look me up in the dictionary, but you won't find me without a thesarus. People always say, "Oh, that explains a lot," when I tell them I was electrocuted as a child. I'm not always as funny as I think I am, but when I am, it's worth it. I'm a drunk artist, but not at all an artistic drunk. I will chase you down on my bike if you owe me two dollars. I can't stand singing, but I love musicals. I'm depressed a lot, but I still want to make you laugh. I'll kiss your better half every time I see you, just to piss you off. Nobody ever thinks of me as volatile or dangerous until it's too late to do any good. I'm what happens when animals attack clowns.

Music:

I haven't got the time or the energy to figure out which music I should like, and I don't care to adhere to a scene or influencer, so I just don't like music. It saves me a lot of time and effort, and makes me the de facto coolest music rebel kid on the block, since I'm now so cool I officially don't like or care about anything. Woooee, no copying, posers!

Movies:

Fuck it, I don't know. I can't make that list, I've been watching movies since I was 4. What do you want me to say? Guess. Make a list of 5 or so movies and rate them in order of how much I like them (more to less) and send it to me and if you get it right I'll tell you how smart you are. I like the movies you like, except that one and THAT one, and that one genre that you watch with other people anyway and don't like to expose to people who aren't already into it, and your one favorite actor is my favorite actor, and that other one I hate, and we can have good natured arguments about it. We love all the same directors, except for him, and we won't discuss it anymore since that night you'll end up throwing a beer at me. And we're in love with exactly one same actor and we'll sit up late at night pretending we could ever have him (her) and arguing over who gets the leftovers, and we'll always get to the movie store thinking about the exact same movie and one alternate that will be different. Wow. We have so much in common! You should write me a long letter.

Television:

Um, RonCo Rotisserie Cooker, Victoria Principal's Perfect Skin System, Dr. Weng's Coral Calcium Way to Health, Tony Little's TotalGazelle (I don't sleep at night very much, yo.) Mostly I watch movies right now. My vcr and dvd are my friends.

school’s out for summer!

only one more day to go...and two tests and a paper I have not yet, technically, begun to write.  If by "write" you mean "think about or do any work toward whatsoever."  Which is exactly whe...

Hello, Friend!

We don't even know each other yet, and already you've been so sweet to ask me to be your friend!  I only have one little reservation:  all your other friends, every single other one, is a hu...

first impressions

You all know I like to make a one-time judgement of people when I first meet them and stick to it rigidly throuought my whole life?  You know I do that because I’m always right? Right? ...

school started and I didn’t even catch on fire

but I’m really hating every minute of it.  Both instructors do everything but require we all be in a little study group with our little classmates.  As if.  Just going there ...

I already have 46 transfer hours

 and I didn't enjoy any of them, either.  Just stop.  I'm tired of playing this game.  You aren't even responding to what I'm saying, you're just looping your words on top of mine ...

but this is not to say

that I don't hear and appreciate when you try to encourage me. I hear you saying you believe I can do this. I hear you saying you think I already have it in me, and have the whatever to be able to g...

please stop saying school is fun

    School is not fun for ME.  I hate it, I've always hated it.  Kindergarten was excruciating and I was astonished to find out that it just got worse every single year. ...

thanks

    I keep forgetting that I have to tell when I'm scared.  Ask when I need help, and then take it.  Thanks for trying to remember that I'm 12, going on 31.  Thanks for a...
