We all got em. Mine is writing. When I feel the words writhing under my skin I have to exercise them or they take over my mind like some demon from a catholic story.
I know other peoples too:
bill squire-masturbating
chris walters- making is toe nails as small as possible with a small screwdriver and a pocket knife.
kristie milburn- talking about jack white
jen dynes- making weird art
renner- glueing beads to frames
strauss- talking about how great he is.

We all got em, but I want to know from you my loyal readers what yours are. Even if you are listed here, tell me something I don’t know. Tell me what threatens your sanity.

I love books. I walking into the bookstore or the library and smelling the pages. I love to look at all the book cover and to pick books up that look interesting and read the back. I love hearing the crack sound a book makes when you open it up for the first time. I can’t believe how many books there are. There are so many stories just waiting to be read, adventures ready to be had. I have been reading books since I can remember, but only ones that interested me. If you tried to get me to read something for class forget it. I hated it and if I did actually try to read it, it just wouldn’t register. I must be free to choice my own. I remember so many sundays i would just lay in my bed all day long and read.
I am currently reading the books that the show True Blood is based on and I have only one and a half left so I need a new book. Any suggestions?

So we decided Wednesday to get married this weekend. Bill’s shows got canceled, I’m turning 30 and I have to get a new drivers license and we’d like to get joint car insurance it just worked out. So I called my friend Bre who is an ordained minister (a minister just for for the hell of it) and asked her if she was free sunday. So we paid $42 sweet dollars for a marriage license. Can i just ask why the hell we need one of those? License to what? To live together in the same house? To have sex? To procreate? To fight about who didn’t vacuum and why the dishes aren’t done? We did all of those things without a license so would we have been under arrest if an officer would have pulled our house and saw Bill sitting at the computer instead of mowing the lawn like he was supposed to?
Before giving you the license the make you raise your right hand and swear a bunch of shit but the only thing I remember is saying that we weren’t cousins (closer than 2nd) and that we didn’t have syphilis. Since when did that become law? If either one of us had aids or cancer that’s ok but they’ll be god damned if they will let any nasty ass people with syphilis get married. Out of the question. I didn’t think we were going to make it past the swearing and the whole time I was hoping I had the right hand up. You know I can’t tell right from left.
We gathered our friends and family and got married in our house. My friends came and lit candles and I made food. We had a short ceremony and we kept it very true to ourselves. We wrote our own short vows that made sense for us. We had champagne, lunch and cake. It was a really great day and the girls are really happy. It really meant a lot to them to be there and to finally feel like they have a real dad. It’s stability for them and they went to sleep 3 happy little girls.
I got to marry my best buddy and im a pretty happy lady.

he won. when I found this out my reaction really surprised me and I think it’s because i feel so relieved. we’ve been so beaten down these last years. Its felt so dark and i finally, finally feel the sun coming back.

For some reason I cannot write fiction. It feels wrong. We have to make up a character for class and I can’t do it. Anyone can just make things up and write them down but it feels wrong to me. Fiction writing feels more personal to me than my regular laying it all out there for everyone to read blogs. How the hell is that? So the character I wrote about is me. In doing this I found out, Im quite a character. Im a writer with nothing to write. That’s really annoying. I have words and stories and no way to tell them. I mean I tell my stories here but I feel like there is something else in there.
I have this kid in my class who is like 18 and so self important. oh, i know all these authors and this sounds like that and Im so smart. BLAH BLAH BLAH, I just hope when that kid is 30 he realizes what a dickhead he was. And if he doesn’t, he will still be the same dickhead.
Halloween came and went and it didn’t have it’s normal magic for me. I slept on the couch most of the day. Im feeling run down. Im so sick of thinking about and worrying about money. My god. What is going to happen if Mccain wins? How can we have 4 more years of this? We will all be homeless I know it.
Im reading the books that True Blood is based on and I read 5 books last week. That’s a lot. God what if I actually set my mind to something of use rather than just a bunch of vampire stories? I might be able to run for president.
Did you ever look around the library and realize how many books there are? There are so many books that I wonder do some books slip by completely unread?
That would probably happen to mine Unread and in the sad cardboard library book sale box for $1.
That being said, I really wish Gus would stop eating my underwear.

who are you?

Isn’t it weird as we get older we leave a trail of people we used to love behind us?
old friends, old boyfriends just scattered and with them pieces of who we used to be. It’s weird. If you followed that trail you could probably remember who you were when you were 16. It’s weird to see my old boyfriends on myspace with their lives and their wives. Do you ever look in on your ex’s and think, god that could have been my life. Im really happy that the ones that I really loved are happy and have good wives. I’d hate to see them married to a bunch of stank bitches. There are so many people that we let know us so intimately and then we just move on. Im not just talking sex, great friendships too- you spend so much time and life and love with people and before you know it they just aren’t in your life anymore for whatever reason. We must have some kind of other place in our brain for these memories because if we thought about the potential loss we face when we love someone i don’t think we’d ever do it again.
For all those who I have loved and have loved me back-
thanks.

Why for the love of god do people have to type with a million little symbols and having varying upper and lower case letters? Are you a serial killer sending a letter containing clues to the newspaper? Are you a kidnapper sending a letter of ransom to the kids parents?
The answer is probably not.
Is it cute to type things out like this?
The answer is no. It’s retarded.
Is it quicker to type things out like this?
The answer is no. It took me 4 minutes just to get the blog title out.
Can anyone read sentences typed like this?
The answer is no. Unless you’re an alien, but even then, probably not.
It’s ridiculous and ugly and I can’t stand looking at it. Actually, if you are on my friends list and you have anything that is all symbols or mixed matched lettering do me a favor and take me off your friends list because we have nothing in common.

Everyone I know used to have a floor model tv back in the day. These giant things were the worst. First they would have that little side door that you could swing open and fix color and balance and stuff but someone would always leave it open and then the dog or your drunk dad would walk by and knock it off. Then the color was always bad so you’d have to bang the side a million times before it would click back on. Sometimes the entire picture would go off except for a little line in the center. It had 2 knobs but no one ever knew what the hell the second one was for like it was some mystery from before our time but also before the new tv’s came out without knobs. I remember we had one floor model that actually had a remote, a clicker if you will. It was a fat square with 4 clicking buttons. I never knew where we got the floor models either but every couple years we’d get a “new” one that was actually someones old hand me down floor model.
Then the new tv’s started to come out. The ones that didn’t require sitting on your floor but it was before we had media centers or the need for one so we’d just set the new tv on top of the old tv. The old tv was the first media center. You know you all had this system in your living rooms and basements. You know it.
