Really need a break. One that doesn't involve traveling long distances to foreign country (New Jersey), catching grievous disease (New Jersey black plague), observing happy people while caged in clutches of grievous disease (attending a Italian/Irish Catholic wedding in New Jersey), and returning to looming deadlines while still grievously ill (thinking I would have been better off being run over by a New Jersey driver).
Just kidding. New Jersey rocks. They don't call it Garden State for nothing. It's like I got there, died, and went to indie film heaven. Dialogue is terse, accented, and bizarre, people really have hair like that, and yet, everything's so real. I'll be in Kevin Smith's next movie yet. Look what it's done for Ben Affleck.
I also had a whopping good time at the wedding--lots of food, open bar, and chocolate fondue fountain. Enough said. Oh and The Couple was really cute and happy. Actually, all the couples were really cute and happy. Wished I was cute and happy, instead of caged in clutches of grievous disease. Alone. But I digress.
Will enjoy the weekend, eat lots of grilled stuff, de-bug myself, and spend time with boyfriend who is, for once, not working. And possibly go to theme park, ride lots of rides, eat funnel cake, ride even more rides, and feel icky. A good icky.
Yay, can't wait.

Word of the day
In a world of constant information flow and little time for actual intelligence...I subscribe to the Word of the Day, to keep my verbal skills from sinking into "tha's cool, but y'all can't handle my truth," and because I like confusing the idiot peons of this region. The word of the day also seems to have an almost fortune telling element to it, forecasting how the day will be.
Today, the word was "zaftig." From Yiddish for "juicy and succulent," aka pleasantly plump or fat. So, either I am to be this, called this, or run into this. Hmmm. Check, check, check.
Yesterday, it was "faineant" from the French "fait nient." Do nothing. Idle and ineffectual. Again, amazing coincidence--worked hard on something that became ineffectual, so purposely was idle. See, there is a god.*
*Note: To be taken in jest. If offended or think I'm serious, you are an idiot peon.

New Life, ad nauseum
I never start a new life, a la munkeigh and countless others, but I am forever trying to alter the awful fix I am constantly in. This month, again tried to:
1) get finances in order & rid myself of high interest debt (aka stupid, bad girl debt) and converting to low-interest tax-deductible debt (aka intelligent, but still debt) since can't ever rid of all debt (aka enlightenment I will never attain!!)
2) make living space nicer without more stupid, bad girl debt (someday I will no longer have crappy broken furniture)
3) eat better (making great advances mentally--I will eat more fruit & veggies!!)
4) move my ass more often (as much as I love it, it's quite lazy)
5) save up more $ in case I'm put in traction or have mental breakdown (both completely possible and either way, will be poor)
6) not spend more money on unnecesary things that I think make me feel better about myself (more clothes...meat tenderizers...)
7) be truly sympathetic and care about people (as most suck and aren't motivating me to be social)
Hate hyper-awareness of faults. Wish I were oblivious to inability to function in society.

I'm Just So Happy For You!!!
Have visited 3 wedding sites and multiple registries this evening and spent tons of money on joyous friends.
*sigh*
Won't talk about imminent depression.
But I will ask...are meat tenderizers a necessary kitchen implement? Because they've been on every wedding registry I've seen. Maybe I just haven't lived yet as I am meat tenderizer-less.
I think wedding registries are really for "salsa deck umbrellas, set of 2," "triple initial embossers," "breakfast pancake stix makers," "leather recliners with massager setting," and "chrome retro pizza ovens" aka things people always wanted, but are too expensive to buy themselves and/or will never use. I understand pricey kitchen items. Totally wedding-esque. But I draw the line at buying furniture. As if the lack of societal status is bad enough, buying their sofas and deck tables are just a slap in the face!

Now that I have a smidge of free time and no brain power whatsoever, I had to try it out:
And who knew? I guess I can switch on the male brain when I have to. Thanks to Alice, via Munkeigh for the link.
