2005: Best Year Ever?

December 31, 2005 4:43 pm

Yes, I’m jumping on the year-end review bandwagon.

And yes, I just ate the remains of two tubes of cake decorating icing.

2005 has arguably been the best year of my life, ever. I really feel like this year I finally “came alive.” I have made a lot of progress defining who I am, what I’m about, and I’ve become more assertive about that.

The “Mini-Cooper” and Adult Bookstore Etiquette

December 30, 2005 11:14 am

I have a friend, let’s call him Seamus (that’s pronounced “SHAY-muhss”) who may or may not be married. Let’s hypothetically say that he is, because it makes the story more interesting. We’ll call his wife…. Persephone (”perr-SEFF-oh-NEE”). Seamus is constantly trying to get Persephone to wear a thong, and she keeps saying no for various reasons. Finally she caved and said she would wear one when he does.

So as a gag joke (or maybe as a “not-so-gag-joke”…I really don’t know) Persephone and her co-worker went to the adult bookstore and bought Seamus a thong, camouflage print (presumably so he can still look sexy and match in fatigues). It was codenamed “The Mini-cooper.”

You know, the kind when you’re walking under a building and every single drop of rain falling off the eaves hits you on the head. Like they’re just sitting up there waiting for you to walk under so they can kamikaze your noggin.

The kind where you’re already running a couple minutes behind, and your reach over some stacked up boxes to grab your trail mix, resulting in the trail mix falling behind said boxes.
