That's Not Really a Shuffle

Dude, I fuckin hate one-way streets! Whoever invented them should rot in hell. That's about all I have to say.
P.S. Why does being bored merit an emo fox? tHaT fUcKiNg PiSsEs mE oFf ToO! aRrGaRrGaRrGaRgHaRrG! Hmm, somehow the time it has taken me to write in rotating caps has made me somehow less pissed off...but I'm still mildly annoyed, goddammit!

Death and taxes

2006-05-05T04:49:57Z

OK, so I'm browsing the internet today, when what do I find? Costco sells caskets. Yes, caskets. In between buying 64 containers of dishwashing soap and 100 rolls of toilet paper, you can plan for your own death! Yay! Although you should be forewarned that: "THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC OR OTHER EVIDENCE THAT ANY CASKET WITH A SEALING DEVICE WILL PRESERVE HUMAN REMAINS." Good to know. After viewing Costco's website, I was inspired to check out other funeral websites online. I stumbled upon Funeral Depot ("Where Overpaying Is Not Dignified"). In addition to disturbingly kitsch airbrushed urns, and the slightly alarming "art caskets", there are also "cultured urns" for members of the gay and lesbian community (pretty awesome if I don't say so myself). I also really want this raku urn, despite the fact that I don't have anyone to put in it. Perhaps I could just use it as a paperweight?

Carolyn will do anything to avoid doing Italian, even possibly asplode.

Wooo-hoo, Thanksgiving! My mom and I spent a good deal of it riding around without a front bumper because of silly unmarked turn lanes and we felt pretty bad-ass (trust me, there's a reason bumpers go in front of your car and not in your front seat). Also, I discovered that Arrested Development is possibly the coolest show ever and Segways are funny in any situation, especially when Kodak buys 20 of them for hapless employees to ride up and down Union Street promoting wireless cameras. Finally, Matisyahu is cool because he's an Hasidic Jewish reggae rap star, and, I'm sorry, but you just have to respect that.

Random song

2005-10-28T21:57:44Z

DUUUDDEEE, I found a song on my iTunes today that I didn't put there. To make matters worse it was called Carolyn's Booty and included the lyrics: I got a glimpse of Carolyn's booty/As she was making her way from the bathroom into my beeeeedddroooom and then something about the male anatomy. This is the best thing ever. Maybe I put it on there in a trance? I can't believe I never noticed it was there before.

Halloween is sad, dammit!

2005-10-27T03:03:56Z

WOOOOAAAH, post for the sakkkeee ooofff poooooosssttt. Italian totally ate my weekend and left no tasty morsels left for Halloween celebration. I am sad. Does anyone know if there's stuff going on Monday night?

Oh my god, a friggen meme!

I yoinked this from Maddie's blog, cause why not waste time at 2 AM?

1. Open your Winamp/iTunes.
2. Put the shuffle-mode on.
3. Find a picture of the first 20 artists. If the same artist comes again, skip.
4. Have your friends guess who the artists are.

Google proved to suck at finding pictures of the weird artists that came up, so this is as difficult as I get.

Carolyn needs good food
Carolyn needs a rock boy
Carolyn needs to take care of him a little more in the bedroom and maybe she
wouldn't have to worry so much about him
Carolyn needs to be fed or hates women
Carolyn needs to eat a cookie

Also, my birthday was great, thanks a ton guys!

I just listened to "I Don't Want To Live on the Moon" and it made me cry. Does anyone else remember this song from Sesame Street? For some reason, it struck me as the saddest thing when I was a kid and it still does. Oh well.

Also, apperantly I'm gay....which is OK by me! (Sunshine Bear is a sexy motherfucker!)

Also, I am back in school. So it goes.

July!

2005-07-13T21:39:57Z

Well god damn. I finally realized I had this thing again. So yeah...summer. I'm looking at leaving here on the 27th of July, but we move out on the 21st, so I have the exciting task of sleeping in my creepy, empty house for a couple days. Whoa! Soo damn cool! Otherwise, I'm frieking psyched for this road trip. I'm opting for the "see cheesy America" route and I'll be fucked if I don't get to go to Graceland, in all it's kitschy glory. Of course, I haven't told Justin this yet, but I'm betting that I'll just scream "turn here" when we get to the turnoff, so he won't have a chance to resist. Otherwise, we'll get to Northern California around August 9th, so I can see ya then, Dawn! (hope you're reading this, I want to introduce you to my crazy-awesome "aunt" who lives in Sonoma, plus we should go to San Fransisco before you go to Ireland, you crazy fool!). Not much else interesting to report. There is a surprising lack of drama (gasp!) without being in college (well...except for Grace and Brian, but I'm not going there), and now I admittedly kind of miss it. I know, I know, I'm insane.

CRRRAZY IHOP ACTION!

2005-06-13T20:04:14Z

Hahaha, I thought this incident was so classic that I had to share. My friends and I were at IHOP last week, goofing off as always, when we suddenly saw these guys with FIGHTING WITH SWORDS outside the window. One guy, a pudgy teenager, took a swing at a gangly man in his twenties, who proceeded to defend himself with a wooden shield sewn together with duct tape. All of this while TWO cop cars pulled up behind them amd policemen hopped out, saying that there had been reports of "gang fights." The guys patiently explained that they were members of the SCA en route to a convention, while the cops tried not to laugh at their peasant costumes and obviously homemade weaponry. Eventually the cops left, completely disregarding the situation, and everyone on our side of the restaurant gathered to watch as they pulled out. The SCA members dispersed too, and as we walked out of the restaurant, the waiter asked us if WE had called the cops. We said no, it was too damn HILARIOUS to interrupt, and he confessed that everyone in the restaurant was pissed at the cops for interrupting an otherwise awesome evening. And this, in short, is what has restored my faith in humanity.

I'm a WORKIN girl now!

2005-05-30T16:28:20Z

Whoa, it's been fun these past few days. I got a job at Cosco as a food sample lady and I get to wear a hairnet! (SEEEEEEEEEEXXXYYYY). I also FINALLY got my name in the substitute system, so in addition to passing out little weiner samples all day I also get to deal with cranky kindergartners ready for summer! That said, I really LIKE both jobs. The Cosco one is awesome cause most of my coworkers are elderly women who I can bitch with about Arthritis (they also, surprisingly, complain just as much as I do about the lack of stuff to do in Leesburg that doesn't involve Jesus or shopping). I also like substituting because kids are one of the things I miss most being at college. Granted, they do annoy the hell out of me sometimes, but they're cooler than people give them credit for. It's nice to get away from the college mentality sometimes, but I'm also eager to get back to the craziness. OK, I'm going to be lame and make a movie analogy here. Remember in Fight Club when the Narrator (or "Jack" as Chuck fans seem to call him) says that "After being at Fight Club, everything else in your life gets the volume turned down"? OK, well, Fight Club is like college then. When you get away from it, it seems like most of life has the volume turned down. This is actually a good thing right now, but I think I'll be bored of it by the end of the summer. So yeeeeahh, home is cool. Mary had a bitchin party last night involving 99 Blackberries (which is apperantly a 99 proof blackberry drink) and Mean Girls (which I did NOT fall asleep during this time). We've also made several more trips to the House of Chicken (aka El Sabor Latino aka Carolina Bar and Grill aka the only place in town where you can get free drinks AND dance bachata all night) and our resident hookah bar, Sheesha, which is getting too damn popular for its own good. Rock on!

Survey time!

2005-05-23T20:00:44Z

Stole it from Kathleen/Karen, as if I have anything better to do =)

1.)If you could change one thing about your name, what would it be?
Definately change my last name. No offense to my Dad, but Davis is boring. I'd have a crazy Japanese name like Katsumo, or something entirely unpronouncable, just to piss off my teachers.

2.)Laptop or desktop?
Laptop, except for the small processing power.

3.)Sci-fi or fantasy?
No offense to Lord of the Rings fans or anything, but sci-fi all the way. Names like Faelina Uqbar of Dragon's Stump just piss the fuck out of me.

4.)Do scary movies scare you?
Not most of them. The only ones that really get to me are the things-jumping-out-at-you ones. I hate how they build up the music so you just KNOW the psycho's gonna jump out at any second but you don't know exactly WHEN so it scares the shit out of you when he does.

5.)If clothing were not required, would you still wear it?
Yeah, but I'd shorten it to just a bikini or something. Or better off, just a skirt.

6.)Can you play an instrument?
I play piano, poorly and I keep almost learning guitar.

7.)ARE YOU A DUCK, YOU MOTHERFUCKER?
Heck YEAH!

8.)If you came across a goat herding girl who had run into a spot of bad luck, would you send out a chain e-mail to help her?
Chain emails are for pussys. If she was a cool goat hearding girl, I'd just ask people to help.

9.)Would you prefer the world to end in fire or ice?
Fire would be cooler, but I'll have to say ice, because freezing to death seems a bit less painful. Plus, you could have ice sculptures!

10.)Should all mice have the little scrolly thingy in the middle?
Yeah! Those things are damn handy!

11.)Favorite band?
Radiohead!

12.)Have you seen the movie Rocket Man (that's rocket man, not the rocketeer) and is it awesome?
No, but that's a cool title.

13.)Do you curse?
At college, not at home. I do it in public sometimes and I need to cut that out.

14.)Duct tape?
As if you even needed to ASK
