unfamiliarity cannot breed contempt.

"That's my resolution for 2010: Let's hope everything is good, even though we know much of it won't be. Let's hope to be pleasantly surprised instead of making sure we're never disappointed. Let's leave the window open, just in case there's a breeze."

Amen NPR.

no pop tarts.

some enchanted evening from the show south pacific.

love song for no one by john mayer.

just haven't met you yet by michael buble.

what do all these songs have in common? you guessed it, they are all love songs. not just that though, they are all love songs that have to do with a love at first sight kind of thing. you see a stranger from across the room, the right person will just come into your life with right timing and luck, just hurry up and get here right person. yeah i guess it's romantic and fairytaleish (new word). but what if that isn't what i want?

I want to KNOW the person i love. i want a best friend first and a lover second. i don't want a pop tart, i want an actual thoughtfully planned out and baked pie. or cinnamon roll. both are good.

but what i'm trying to say i guess is i don't buy it. yes the commercials (or love songs in this case) make the pop tart look really good and the quickness of it is awesome i guess. sure a pie takes time, but isn't it worth it? in my eyes it is.

you know what would be really great? if you could have a delicious home made real pie in the time of a pop tart....the waiting part does really suck, but pie over pop tart any day.

I JUST WANT A PIE DANG IT!

SSD

I realized today that i have a problem.

I happen to know that the first part in overcoming anything is admitting that it is a problem.

So I openly admit that I have SSD. More commonly known as Severely Sucky Disorder.

In other words I suck.

Now this is the thing about SSD. It doesn't pertain to all areas of ones life. It may just cover one area. But if you allow it to go unchecked it will grow to other areas of life. My SSD is getting out of hand. It started so so small, but now it's like a giant arachnid sticking it's huge ugly legs into every part of my life!

I'm starting a support group. SSDA. (Severly Sucky Disorder Anonymous. Because I can only be original once in a while.) If you would like to join please leave me a note. Or you can contact me at 1-800-isuck. Again that is 1-800-isuck.

number is not valid in the U.S. or Canada. Or anywhere else on this Earth. Please try Mars.

boo.

you know the song about the snowman? How there was one and he was tall, tall, tall? but then in the sun he melted small, small, small?

Well,

I am the snowman.

School is the sun.

I'M MELTING! I'M MELTING!

boo.
