About Me

My AIM name is WickedAle83. Feel free to randomly message away.Also, I have a shy bladder. If I hear a fruit fly while I'm peeing, I clam up. It's not a mental thing. My bladder is just really bashful.What else?I was obsessed with yo-yoing the summer I turned 16. I saw that the Smothers Brothers were really good at it and I figured it was pretty hip. I was dead wrong. However, I can do a really mean wrist flick. That's all you need in life anyway...a mean ol' wrist flick.Though I don't like to discuss my Irish-Catholicism, I do think that this comedian has a pretty good grasp on the daily guilt that comes with that sort of upbringing. Anyway, Dylan Moran is hilarious:

My Interests

Movies:

Old ones.

Television:

The Office (BBC version...though I'm learning to like the 2nd and 3rd seasons of the American one).

Books:

We could be here forever.

Heroes:

Henry Miller and Obi Wan Kenobi.

I'm a citizen of the Procrasti nation.

This summer has been no good. Aside from Katie and Johnny's wedding, it has been boring and depressing. I don't want to write about the sorry state of my mental health, though, so let's move on. I th...

Are you there God? It's me, Unfortunate Erin.

I hate my new hair cut. I'm soooo sorry, Katie. But I look like Prince Charming's valet. So, all of you who know me in the real, physical world...when you see me, just don't talk abo...

Snow Matter

Though I have a million school-related things to do, I have decided to "blog it up" for the moment: I left work rather late last night. Lauren and I shopped around after we clocked out at six.&n...

Don't even waste your time with this.

Has anyone ever seen the Ben Stiller Show? I saw a few episodes last night at Katie and Bungalow's bungalow. Lord-eeeee. Not only did the Counting with Bruce Springsteen make me laug...

Response to a Mistake

Come gather round, my uglies. Tear out your hair and smear your faces -- the lot of you. I embrace you all and hold you in my weak and embittered arms. You who are befouled of mind a...

I'm here for the Funk Revolution...but they won't let me fight.

What I've Learned Today: If your laundry room smells like must and mildew, flat-drying your clothes there will make them pick up that same smell. I have to live with this until eight o'clock ton...
