Less Listless Lists

I've rewritten this post about 46 times now.

2009-11-23T13:13:00.000-06:00

All I wanted to say is that I want to make friends. I just can't get past a certain point with people.

Update: And that didn't help.

I want to write something about my feelings.

2009-10-04T11:55:00.000-05:00

I'm pretty, but only partially fascinating. I need a hobby. I will choose to fly kites. No, I can't do that.

Maybe I'm just cranky today and woke up on the wrong side of the bed: my side. As evidenced by my last statement, I'm just cranky.

This is what we call verbal diarrhea via key...bored.

Bad Spellers Untie!

Haha, I've never seen that before.

Charley would appreciate that one.

Is he a good speller?

Yes, a rare find.

Wow, T-bone would love him a lot. A refreshing change from all the losers brought to her doorstep over the years

Yeah? Is there a story about this?

Yes:

1. Maura's boyfriend, who was telling T-Bone about a special on TV about Egyptian mummies, said they opened a tomb and the whole thing was full of esophaguses!

2. T-Bone's hillbilly neighbor, who had a kid arrested, said she was going to have to get a lawyer so they could "flea bargain."

3. The friend who said that another woman was so mean to her friends that she was "annihilating" everyone. I think she meant to say 'alienate.'

4. Her sister was beyond fat. She was 'obeast'. I love that one.

5. One of the pastors I work with gaffed the other day. We were texting each other and he called the other pastor a "pre-Madonna". I guess he had not ever seen prima donna spelled out.

Less Listless Lists

2008-10-01T14:53:00.000-05:00

I've been meaning to start up my blog again. Here it is, renamed and calculated. Now all my dear friends and family can see yet another projection of me over the internet!

I always wanted to make as many lists as possible:

1. Consider deleting Facebook account. (Keeping Russian Facebook is allowable.)
2. Network without living vicariously.
3. Rock and Roll.
4. Girls are terrible. (Always have, always will be.)
5. Refuse to stay in classrooms in which you are asleep in.
6. Spel theengs fuh-nay.
