anybody who’s ever watched the jerry springer show knows just how much of a joke it is. back when the show first started, the episode themes were still outlandish yet somewhat believable. now, though, notsomuch. they’ve added puppets and mexican wrestlers to the show for the effect, and they play music when people are fighting [...]

If it weren’t for your maturity, none of this would have happened
If you weren’t so wise beyond your years, I would’ve been able to control myself
If it weren’t for my attention, you wouldn’t have been successful and
If it weren’t for me, you would never have amounted to very much
Ooh, this could be messy
But you don’t [...]

ever since i was a little girl, i’ve been fascinated with this structure, so you can imagine my surprise and amusement when i found it online. there’s a castle in lexington, kentucky, and i’ve seen it every christmas since i was little. i used to be convinced a very rich couple lived there, and then [...]

…that made pete so funny. he had the greatest sense of humor, and his intelligence definitely added to his wit. i doubt i could ever compile all the things pete’s ever said to me that made me laugh because there are just way too many…but in the meanwhile, i give you this one thing i [...]

i posted the following on my blog 6 years ago today:

i can’t quit thinking about the crap that happened today [yesterday]. i didn’t really even think much about what this could turn into until now. i wanna drop an atomic bomb on afghanistan’s asses. but then again, i don’t wanna fight more, because it’ll end [...]

1. alphie! alphie was a robot where you put certain cards in his belly, entered their respective code, and answered the educational [...]

drew and i got nostalgic tonight and dug out old band DVDs (thanks to my mom’s hard work this weekend, i now have band videos transferred to DVDs) and my copy of our graduation. now, i remember this one particular part of drew’s speech as valedictorian (he REALLY didn’t want to give a speech), but [...]

i was in the hospital. and around 9:30am on this very date, i was wheeled back to the operating room where i had my very first real surgery, an appendectomy.
one year later, i’ve obviously recovered, but my scar still itches like crazy from time to time, and i can still see where the staples were. [...]

so i just watched flight 93 on hbo. i absolutely fucking lost it at the end. i sat and sobbed for minutes after it was over, my head in my hands the entire time. if i were in logic class right now, lavonna would say that this movie, albeit based on a tragedy, is loaded [...]

out of boredom tonight, i was looking at the polly pockets and the littlest pet shops in the toy aisle at walmart. and i was thinking…they sure didn’t look like this crap when i was little. in fact, i’d forgotten how a lot of them looked. so i looked on ebay for old polly pocket [...]
