lizard vs. panther

So, today I am waiting in line, minding my own business when this guy taps me excitedly on the shoulder and says "IS THAT A PANTHER?!"

"WHERE!?" I screech, not really grasping at 7:30 am that there's probably not a panther ambling down Fifth Avenue.

"There - on your foot," he says, pointing.

"Oh!" say I, relieved. "No, um, that's acutally a lizard."

I guess it's time to get my tattoo touched up. Picture to be posted later for those who don't know what it looks like. Maybe I'll have a poll- lizard vs. panther.

oh, the weekend

many people spend their weekends doing fun things. i often spend mine under the covers rewatching episodes of television shows long since gone off the air while planning only when to get up to fill my bottle of water and hoping that the water bottle being empty coincides with when i need to go to the bathroom. i don't necessarily enjoy these weekends, but it's something that i do when i'm overwhelmed. the phone gets turned off so i can pretend there's nothing wrong with the hibernation. the only problem comes when it's time to re-enter the world and i realize spending three days eating takeout in bed with my phone off isn't the most productive way to spend a gorgeous weekend.

wait! i did move to the couch for a few hours to watch some tv not available in my bedroom. hah! i am no longer a waste of space.

and, here's a photo from montana to illustrate how my brain feels right about now...

drive by blogging

For my three loyal readers out there - here's something I stole from fivewells.blogspot.com

You Are Expressionism

Moody, emotional, and even a bit angsty... you certainly know how to express your emotions. At times, you tend to lack perspective on your life, probably as a result of looking inward too much. This introspection does give you a flair for the dramatic. And it's even maybe made you cultivate some artistic talents! You have a true artist's temperament... which is a blessing and a curse.

What Art Movement Are You?

Every description of me (astrological, numerological, blogquizogical) uses the word angsty. Even my "Maggy Needs" came up with some angst. But what can you do? Wait, I'm not sure if that was angsty...

Also, in case you sometimes worry that you will miss one of these scintillating updates, I've added a notifylist feature - go ahead, sign up! Scroll down to the bottom of this here page and you'll see. You'll get an email EVERY TIME I update. I know, it's pretty hard to comprehend the amazingness that would involve, but I swear I'll do it.

sidenote: do I really think my blog is important enough to have a notifylist of its very own? I don't. But we're not going to tell it that. Don't hurt my blog's feelings.
