There may be better things to wake up to, but I'm having trouble thinking of any right now.
EDIT: In case it's not clear, I had no idea this was going to happen.

Some changes made.
Hi, everyone! It's so nice to be able to talk again regularly. I love my new computer. It's so nice to be able to do things like watch videos or use flash without it just cutting out for no reason. I even made a new header for Boob Tube! And then I replied to an old text message instead of creating a new message and accidentally txted my dad, "Made a new boob tube header," instead of Tanis. Five seconds later, my phone rang: "You did what?"
We cleaned out a room at my house last week and I found a videotape with the VH1 Legends: Grateful Dead episode on it (along with The Thing That Wouldn't Die--I'm a weirdo). I watched the special and there is this hilarious commercial during it for a Dell desktop. It has a staggering, staggering 6.4gb hard drive and it can be yours for the low, low price of $2399. What a steal!
Everything else is going pretty well for me. I am still enjoying school, although I am ready to be dunzo with ENG 101. French is fun, though. The instructor is going to be out on Tuesday so I was like, "Woohoo, sleeping in" but then a classmate told me that everyone's going to come anyway so we can study for midterms. I would bah! at that but I enjoy class so much that I'm probably going to go.
In other news, if you haven't heard, I'm in the very natal stages of starting my own perfume company. It is a little terrifying but also exciting. I finally feel like I've found my calling. Like, I liked massage okay but there was always a part of it that felt like a real drag. With this, I'm definitely more passionate and inspired. It's become a game for me to assign scents to things. I love to do it when I'm listening to music. Like, Kanye West: lime, cream, leather. Anyway, don't expect anything very soon. I have a name for my company and I've created four collections with note assignments but I still have to figure out the formulas, the most important part. But I am so psyched.
In other perfume news, I'm participating in the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
bpalanonymous fall swap and that's hard, yo. It seems so easy at first--buy someone presents, yay! But then it was like, "But what do I buy?" and it got really overwhelming. I think I've got a better idea of what I'm going to do but it would be a lot easier if I had someone who knew my person so I could be like, "How's this grab ya?" (Btw, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
start_0ver is the authorized agent for info on me.) Wednesday, I went to the mall in Decatur, which was a super depressing place, and picked up a couple of things for my person and okay, a couple of things for me. Like these!
So all in all, things are going really well for me. I am even going to get to travel a bit. I'm planning on NYC at the end of the month and southern Florida next month. Sunday, I'm even going to go hang out with Magnet Boy's brother. (And don't worry, you don't have to caution me, as Tanis did, not to bone him.)
Good times.

Life's like this.
I'm not going to say anything about Britney's performance, as it has surely all been said by now. But I was watching the infamous Brit-Madonna-Xtina performance the other night and I just had to LOL at sourface Avril Lavigne in the audience.
She's quite the humanitarian, ain't she? Now I've read lots of things about Hurricane Katrina, many of which were stupid or offensive or heartless but nothing quite as full of lulz as Mme Lavigne's recent (and quickly becoming infamous) "Ten Commandments" interview. Let's share:
"I am a very giving person. When the hurricane thing happened, I went to my closet, filled six boxes of stuff and said to my assistant, 'Take it to Katrina!'
My first thought: Who is Katrina? My second thought: Oh, that's fantastic. Because that's what hurricane victims need: boxes of tank tops and neckties.
Compare and contrast that with what Karl Malone did. Oh, you don't know? Maybe that's because he didn't issue a press release or get all up in your face about it. I'll let brendan at wwtdd.com drop this science:
Just as a reminder, NBA Hall of Famer Karl Malone moved 18 pieces of heavy machinery, including three bulldozers and a backhoe, into areas destroyed by Katrina, then personally spent 12 hours a day behind the wheel of a dozer, eventually clearing 114 lots for homeowners whose houses were buried under trees and debris. Avril filled six boxes with torn fishnets and blue mascara, then gave someone else vague instructions. Malone said almost nothing about it at the time. Avril still brings it up three years later, seemingly the only kind act she can think of. Karl also executed the pick-and-roll with seamless perfection during his playing days in Utah, while Avril just stood there like a fuckin stick while the ball bounced off her dopey face.
Advantage: Karl Malone.
"Take it to Katrina." Jeezum Crow.

Baby, I'm beggin', beggin', baby.
Every child actor with a speaking part in this skit went on to be a big star. Well, except for that poor Ron kid. Can you tell who they are?
Bonus lulz:
I almost choked to death, I was laughing so hard at this. The hand motions! The "I want you back, baby..."! I used to watch this show all the time but I can't remember him on it at all.

Seasons change but people don't.
1. Leave me a comment saying something random, like the lyrics from your current favorite song, or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.
thelovehater ambushed me in a hotel lobby and made me answer these...
1. DIY Super concert: Which bands are playing?
I was going to do a few versions of this, dividing it between living and dead musicians but I'll just do two versions.
Version 1: Robert Johnson, Odetta, W.C. Handy, Muddy Waters, Son House, Billie Holliday, Howlin' Wolf, Miles Davis, Sun Ra, Etta James, John Motherfuckin' Coltrane, John Cash, Ornette Coleman, McCoy Tyner, George Jones, Porter Wagoner, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong, Hank Williams (all three), Grateful Dead, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, The Who, The Stones, Loretta Lynn, Caetano Veloso, Ali Farka Toure, Astor Piazzolla, The Strokes, Public Enemy, Geto Boys, Wu-Tang Clan, NWA, Charlie Hunter, Kylie Minogue, Betty Davis, Otis Rush, Sam Cooke, X, Flaming Lips, The Misfits, Fall Out Boy, The Runaways, The Commodores (OG version, not this new Lionel Richieless version), New York Dolls, Solomon Burke, Blondie, Leonard Cohen, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Pulp, Motley Crue and the Doodlebops.
That's day one.
Version 2: Some Band, private show. As in, just me and less than ten friends.
2. If you could reside in one country that isn't this one which would it be and why?
This is a really hard question for me to answer. It's not that I'm one of those types that fears other countries--it's that I love living here so much and I'm such an American. I mean, it's in my ethnic description and everything--Native American. But if I absolutely had to choose...The Netherlands. What? I like to smoke weed. Plus it helps me get over the fact that I hate only two things--xenophobia and the Dutch.
3. 2000 years from now when archaeologists look through the remnants of your home which items will confuse and confound them?
Probably one of the odd massage tools I have lying around, particularly the one that looks like an octopus. I think they'd get all the books and pictures and music.
4. The 3rd chapter in your autobiography is entitled?
Launching Ships and Shaking Hips.
5. Freaknasty sex with one dead rockstar. Who do you pick?
Um, Jimi Hendrix. This was hard because I could think of many living ones that I'd like to have met in their younger days but dead ones were harder to think of. But there is Hendrix. And forty years later, there's no one even close to his influence.

Stuck on a tarmac,
Sittin' on a float cushion,
Baby gettin' on my nerves
Going outta my mind,
Thought this'd go fine,
Don't know when I'll leave Denver.

Sometimes people, like zooby, think it's unusual that I usually go running in the woods or that I go running at dusk, since I'm such a huge horror movie fan. The truth is, I do get a bit nervous when I'm running, but it's not because I'm thinking of this. No, usually, I'm thinking of this:
Sometimes this:
You know what the best part of that first clip is? Real southern accents! It's so rare in movies and TV that you don't realize how much you appreciate it until you hear it.

This California trip is shaping up to be totes awesome. Reasons why:
1) Cassandra.
2) BPAL Will Call will likely be held while I'm there. (That's when they open up the Lab for in-person sales, thus one can test everything--general collection-wise, at least--and get it right then.
3) HOLY SHIT, GEORGE ROMERO IS GOING TO BE AT COMIC-CON. Eeeeee!
Oh yeah, I broke up with my boyfriend. Sometimes I'm sad but mostly I'm okay. For the best, I think.
Plus, I have bad horror movies and California and George F'n Romero. !!!
