I've put too much stress on my personal time lately, and I realized recently how smoothly things would go if I could just eliminate some of the things I "have to" do, trade them in for more things I WANT to do. It's going to be hard, though, because I've got a lot invested in some of this shit -- okay, in one thing in particular. I can't deny, ( Read more... )

the Shock Jock

(57% dark, 57% spontaneous, 73% vulgar)
your humor style:
VULGAR | SPONTANEOUS | DARK

Your sense of humor is off-the-cuff and kind of gross. Is it is also sinister, cynical, and vaguely threatening to the purer folks of this world. You probably get off on that. You would cut a ( Read more... )

I don't want to get ready for work; I'd fucking rather go back to bed.

It warms up in here pretty quickly when the fan's off.
I'm going to leave my lunch at home just so I have an excuse ;)

So I realized today that this has been the warmest winter... excuse me, the fucking HOTTEST winter I remember. Sure, we've had a few cold nights, some cool days -- and yes, many of them were beautifully overcast -- but FUCK, it feels like spring. What are spring and summer going to feel like ( Read more... )
