i #$%&!*@ hate today
One day, making toast,
you notice how happy it makes you
to please someone else.
And how easy.
A simple matter of giving away the good pieces
and keeping the burnt ones to yourself.
Because this is not a race
and you can start over.
Do you need yet another way to waste your time? Go here (click on try demo, then record, then text-to-speech). I think I spent at least an hour laughing at my "sitepal" singing the words to the "Thong Song", "Baby Got Back" and (my personal favorite) "My Humps". Pretty freaking hilarious!
Isn't it great with a brief conversation with a friend makes not only her away message...but her significant other's as well? Thank God for cancelled plans...oh yeah...and I now have red hair. I'm not sure how I feel about this. 
Auto response from HNPPage: hanging out with Ben in ATX
SWTLori2006: I like that you're on a first name basis...like if you were to see him walking down the street you'd say "hey ben" and he'd be like "hey hil what up?"

Ground Rules: The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 weird habits of yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a Xanga entry about their 5 weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "You are tagged" tell them to read yours.
1. I will NOT go to bed with dirty feet. Since I wear flip-flops pretty much 359 days of the year I am in the habit of checking my feet before I get into bed at night. If they're dirty I'll run the bath with some warm water and soak them till they're clean. I have white sheets. Maybe thats why. I also never wear socks to bed. Even if my feet are ice cold. I hate socks.
2. I drink before I go to an event that I am nervous about (where it may or may not be appropriate to show up buzzed). I guess I am good at hiding it because no one has seemed to notice yet.
3. I am still afraid of the dark. When I know my roommate isn't going to come home I will turn on all the lights in the apartment and leave them on all night. I will run through the dark rooms looking behind me to get to the light switch/lamp.
4. I hate being chased. It scares the crap outta me. I have no idea why. It makes me want to cry. Being chased is the only thing that really terrifies me. Maybe I need to deal with some repressed memories. Hmmm....
5. I hate HATE chapped lips. I think I carry around at least 3 different kinds of chapstick. Not to mention an additional 3 different kinds of sparkle or flavorful lipgloss. I am a lipaholic.
I tag Molly, Frank McBoob, Bridgette, Angelica and Arthur
I hate feeling so hopeless. I hate seeing him hurting. I hate the feeling of his mother's impending death. I hate that he had to hold her head up at the hospital today for 2 hours. I hate that she is in so much pain. I hate that in a few weeks she will be totally paralyzed by the cancer that is wrapping itself around her vertebrae. I hate the the only option is to sit and wait for the cancer to kill her, or to spend thousands of dollars to simply slow it down. I hate that either way her time is very limited. I hate that I am so afraid.
what a horrible day today has was. just one of those hopeless kind of days where you want to just put your head in your hands and cry and not give a damn who sees you lose it. i was on the verge of a breakdown so i decided to go to walmart to distract myself. as i was wandering around, putting goodies in my cart only to realize 6 rows later that i could not afford said goodies, i was only getting more and more depressed about my place in life. i felt transparent to everyone. i smiled at a little girl in her mother's shopping cart hoping that her innocence would cheer me up...she only glared at me. i was bumped into 3 times. not once was i apologized to or even acknowledged in anyway. and then...
this woman comes up to me. out of nowhere and hands me a rose and says "here. just because." thank goodness for the kindness of strangers.
The library is a great place to workout. Seriously. I just put some Nikes on over my nude pantyhose and pull some of those noisy parachute pants halfway up to my armpits and get ready to break a sweat. Can you believe I only have to walk around the perimeter of the 7th floor 11 times to make a mile! No, don't worry. Nobody ever actually studies in the library. Why would they do a silly thing like that? And even if they wanted to, the obnoxious swish-swish of my pants would deter them.
Sincerely,
Your Librarian
