Dream Song 14.
ephemeron:
Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so.
After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns,
we ourselves flash and yearn,
and moreover my mother told me as a boy
(repeatedly) 'Ever to confess you're bored
means you have no
Inner Resources.' I conclude now I have no
inner resources, because I am heavy bored.
Peoples bore me,
literature bores me, especially great literature,
Henry...
Admission
of being buzzed at work at 8:22 am. I’m no wallflower—just pretending. Manic-depression (aka bi-polar disorder) can have this symptom: illusing that being buzzed is better than being absent from work. Am I right?

breannajai:
treyo-wands, thank you. I think just knowing someone understands helps immensly.
Idiot Savant, thank you too. I like being told I’m cute. haha
I like telling people that they’re cute. Especially when they notice that I did.
going to see benjamin button, finally!

Yah, hey, walking from my car to the building this morning was nearly the end for me: it’s bone-cracking cold in Fargo, somewhere in the vicinity of 9 below. And the wind is up….you know what that means. But I’m holding a positive attitute and pushin’ for above freezing at least one day this week. We actually had MELT here over the weekend. And...

Fer funny. Not Texas....Fargo, NORTH DAKOTA!
not Minnesota, as the geographically-challenged seem to believe. Nonetheless, this song hits a lot of the bases.

I didn’t make a new years resolution, because I generally don’t believe in them. But I’m making one now: don’t be so trusting.
Giddy-up. But wait: you will not be able to do this unless you begin to mistrust everyone.

as a big klosterman myself, i have a feeling that one day, he will meet the person that makes him reneg on this philosophy. i wish he could have met my babcia and djiadek. he would be humbled. i wish this for him, someday....

keeping a nearly full bottle of bourbon in my room is proving to be quite dangerous.

Don't come to Fargo
unless you are prepared to experience cold. True true unmitigated by anything at all—just fucking bonecracking cold. The actual temperature today
-26F
That is twenty-six degrees below zero. That is 58 degrees below freezing. That is without the wind blowing, which it did. Just saying: stay where you are.

You had a heart transplant? AMAZING! I hope the new one works wonders.
It does work wonders!! Thanks! It’s...

stupidinboston:
I wear my heart on my sleeve entirely too often, and it makes it very hard for me to protect myself from negativity. I had ignored the hate blog that was dedicated to me for the longest time, but when I woke up this morning and read something they had reblogged on me last night, it got me, and how.
Anyways, off to work for the day. Let’s all work hard to ignore the meanies. They...

Not me. I have a degree in English and have always said “Aunt,” with the big combo vowel at the lead. My bro-in-law refers to me as Antee V, which is fine but kind of makes my teeth go a bit tight.
Albums of the Year #1
herestothehalcyon:
I know, I know, the suspense has been killing all of you. Finally, the time has arrived to reveal my #1 record for the year (read, I finally felt like posting it).
Drum roll…..
Tift Merritt - Another Country
Certainly not the most interesting record of the year (that belongs to the Brother Felice), but definitely my most listened to. The album hasn’t left my CD changer...
This man and his fiddle
were in my dream last night. I am the only one who has a gigantic and distracting thing for Ketch Secor (from Old Crow Medicine Show)? That fiddle. HellO. And the harmonica. Double greeting there. Just, man, that’s some talented boy. .

ok. so i’ve opened a case against the guy that won’t send me the camera i paid for. but now i have his number. i hate talking on the phone. i am hoping i get his voicemail so i can say, “hello, this is the girl you sold the bronica camera to, you received my money, why haven’t i received my camera?” in a tone that basically means “YOU FUCKING FUCK. I WANT THE CAMERA OR I WANT MY MONEY...

Agreed, and it’s sad that this trend isn’t over. It’s insulting considering I’m spending $38,000 a year in hopes of actually making money off of it one day.

I just got a call from my mother in Kentucky. My dad has cancer in one of his kidneys and it is malignant. According to the MRI it is contained in the kidney, but I’ve been through enough of this shit to know that it could spread easily, and quickly.
My hands are shaky as I type this, but I can’t get my wife on the phone and I’m sitting at work sort of freaking...

other than hangovers, there is nothing worse than unpacking.
Why unpack, just use the classic “I let my suitcase explode in the middle of my room and don’t do anything about it until there is a possibility of a person of opposite gender entering” solution like me.
Thank you. Oh thanks so much for this. I wasn’t aware that my approach was actually so common as...
Dear Tumblrs,

*Warning: This will probably be incredibly long; don’t feel that you need to read it.*
I’ve been meaning to update you all since I posted about going to the hospital. I guess I will attempt to do that now. No guarantees that it will make any sense, though.
First of all, I’d like to say thank you to everyone who commented, emailed, IMed, reblogged, texted, and called. I had no...

francine:
this happened to me today
yes. But the urge didn’t stop at kissing: I nearly followed the guy off the Long Island Railroad. I was 20 (I was, honestly, once I was 20 for a whole year!) and he had red hair, was wearing a business suit and standing, holding the strap with one hand and a beer (it was the 5pm train) in the other. He correctly (and uncannily, may I add) guessed that...
Is it fun being normal?

HA HA!
Why be normal? :)

Well, darling, I am completely normal to me…it is all of you who are not normal. Of course from your perspective, I would not be the normal one. :)

oh, no, wait, that’s the beginning of a poem….
I know a woman who quit smoking forever after three acupunture sessions. I have also gone “under the needle” (it really doesn’t hurt that much. Anyone who can handle getting a tatoo can easily handle acupuncture) many times for help with horrrrrrrible and agonizing menstral episodes that I’ve had since I was a...

Thanks for the tips!! I will pick up some apples tomorrow…
The massage will have to be a fantasy though for now….and don’t know anyone near me who would “donate to the cause” especially since just losing my job….
The thought is wonderful though…..
Thanks!!

Tumblrs: avoid over-posting. Imagine this is IRL and you are at a dinner with your family. Aunt Susan would like to share her thoughts on the Darfur, but she is being overshadowed by your chattiness. You may not be aware of it, but you are causing others discomfort, and you run the risk of being tiresome. Spread multiple posts over a timeframe, or timestamp them in the future if...

Worse than posting the number of people who follow you is a plea for followers. If you have to ask, you most likely don’t deserve them. A pity follow is one that is soon regretted.
