approaching vapid with periodic bouts of genius
BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
The news dudes just said "Tainted Spinach" and oh my God is that the funniest thing I've heard all night!
In other, MUCH more interesting, in fact, fascinating news, I've recently realized that I am living in the very presence of true, true greatness. Genius, in fact. Who is this Genius of whom I speak? My roommate. We'll call him Dick, as it rhymes with his true name (which I would never dream of revealing online for I have nothing but the deepest respect for his privacy, though it's not Rick or Mick) and also because it is a name which pays a certain... homage, really, to who he is as a person. Dick, I've been realizing more and more as I've been graced with the charity of his presence, knows EVERYTHING. Literally. About EVERYTHING. I mean, how impressed are you? Because I'm impressed every time he walks into the room. (He makes it very clear that that is the appropriate response, thank God, because if he didn't I wouldn't be able to figure out how to react).
Fortunately for me, I don't ever have to feel inadequate in his presence, because he is giving and selfless enough to share all of his knowledge with me, at every point during every day. It's just a constant stream of education, coming from the lips of Dick. I... am so... ::breath:: Blessed. Blessed. Truly blessed.
Meanwhile, I left my umbrella in The Dude's car and it's spoda rain tomorrow. The Dude is awesome, can I just say that? I lurve him. He is currently standing in a grandstand watching Steven Tyler and Tommy Lee rock Boston straight into the ground, and I'm really psyched for him, as he's been looking forward to this night for weeks. He's a boy who likes to Rock, that's for sure.
Me? I've been doing arts and crafts all night. Or as we used to call it, Arts and Farts and Crafts.
Violet? Vi? Are you there, sweetie? Okay good, there you are. Hi! I'd like to commission you to please tell me exactly which checks I should get, because (and this is so not even close to a lie) I have always wanted to get personalized checks, but I've never been able to make a committment to one particular pattern, so I've always just gone with the standard bank-issued Financial Anonymity Green. I desperately need your help, having just learned of your brilliance. Thank you in advance for your enlightenment. I greatly look forward to your appointment.
Speaking of Financial Genius, I have recently made The Most Grown-Up Decision I've Made To Date. I have decided to open up a 401K. Yes, yes, how can I be 27 with absolutely no money put away thus far for retirement? Um, well, because I'm a financially irresponsible floater with no real career to speak of. I thought you knew that. Yikes.
Anyway, I will be actually INVESTING money and putting it somewhere where my greedy, grubby little financially irresponsible claws can't get to it until it's time to slip away into retirement and REALLY start travelling!
OK I think that's enough blindingly uninteresting nothingness for now. Quantity not quality, people, remember?
I appreciate your support.
