The Other Side of Mt. Heart Attack ~ Liars
“I won’t run far, I can always be found. If you need me, I can always be found. If you want me to stay, I will stay by your side.”

Clearly helping my mom at school. But seriously, I’m really great at puddling.
Think I have the flu. I have had a temp all day that just spiked to 103. Tried not to use meds so I could just kill it but I’m sitting here crying because I feel so awful. I can’t get comfortable. I’m so hot but so cold. This is misery. I was also too sick to go get Valtari today by Sigur Ros. That broke my heart. I’ve waited so long for it.
Bletch. I just want to be healthy.
One day, I’m going to write a book about these days.
That’s what they call me. Or Standards In All the Wrong Places. It’s a running joke between my friends and I, but yeah, there’s some truth to it. It’s just who and how I am. Like Eliot says, maybe I should be released into the wild. I’ve just got that live for the moment mentality, you know? I just feel bad about not feeling bad about it. Does that make me a terrible person? I don’t think so.
Slow and Steady ~ Of Monsters and Men
“I move slow and steady, but I feel like a waterfall. Yeah, I move slow and steady, past the ones that I used to know. And I’m never ready ‘cause I know that time won’t let me show what I want to show.”

Last summer I despised the nights I stayed in without seeing friends. Even this past semester I didn’t like the nights alone. These days I don’t mind the solitude. I don’t know what’s happening to me.
Red Dress ~ TV on the Radio
“HEEEEYYYY JACKBOOT, FUCK YOUR WAR. ‘Cause I’m fat and in love and no bombs are fallin’ on me for sure. But I’m scared to death that I’m living a life not worth dying for. Go ahead put your red dress on. Days of white robes have come and gone. Oh you rivers, oh you waters run. Come bear witness to ‘Whore of Babylon’.”

I recently took a trip with my great Aunt Jani who I love dearly. She’s mostly insane but in the most fun way possible. She calls me her “creepet” for starters. On the trip, I kept a running log of her funniest quotes. Here they are…
Jani: “I can’t wait to fill up my water bottle at the hotel! And not with toilet water…this time.”
Me: “I will drop everything to see you Aunt Jani.”
Jani: “Yes, you will. Everything…except your drawers.”
Jani: “Go to KFC get chicken and make chicken farts for later.”
Jani: “Put your shoes on Lucy, although your toes are still juicy, through the grapes you once pranced and now you’ve advanced, I know you’ll do fine in the bottling line, because you’re a real CORKER!!!”
Jani: “B23 O10 G64”
Me: “Are you calling out bingo numbers?”
Jani: “T83. It can be Tingo!!!”
Jani: “We’re all in high spirits although I haven’t had any yet. Maybe my Pepsi fermented…”
Jani: “Lordy shit that was long.”
Jani: (*readjusting in the car) “I’m just going to turn the other cheek (*butt cheek). Oh myyyyyy. (*Begins singing operatically) SWEET MYSTERY OF LIFE AT LAST I’VE FOUND YOOOOU!!!”
Me: “I’m going to see my sibling!”
Jani: “I’m going to see my other sibling! Want to sible together?!?!”
Jani: (talking about my Grandpa’s 80 something year old girlfriend) “She said she hadn’t peed since this morning!!! She said her last husband told her she had good parts!!! GOOD PARTS!!!!! BRAHAHAHAAHAHHA”
Me: “Was I cute as a child?”
Jani: “Were you cute as a child?………You acted cute.”
Jani: “Here we are brokenhearted. Came to shit but only farted.”
Andy: “Jan!!! We’re going to shotgun a beer together!!!” (Proceeds to explain how to shotgun a beer).
Jani: “Oh my.”
(*Jani is watching the national cheerleading championships)
Andy: “What are you watching, Jan?”
Jani: “Sex.”
Jani: “Use your own poor judgement.”
(*Mom blabbering on about something unimportant as Jani tries to watch her favorite show Celebrity Apprentice)
Mom: “Blah blah blah.”
Jani: *increases volume
Mom: “Blah yak blah blah blah.”
Jani: *volume keeps increasing
Mom: “BLAH HHHH”
Jani: *volume at full blast
Jani: “No shit Sherlock.”
Also cute quotes by others involving Jani….
Jani: “I need a souvenir from this trip!”
Kele: “Take me! I will be your black souvenir!”
(*talking about chewing gum)
Jani: “Sometimes I chew so hard I bite my tongue!”
Dad: “Maybe you should chew gum more often.”
Welcome to the family everybody.
- A segment on the news showing the Vietnam Memorial which is located right behind her grave.
- My friend getting into a car accident.
- Almost driving down the road she was killed on and then not because I didn’t want to see her cross.
- Not seeing her at Kelby’s college graduation but seeing pictures of all of us at Kelby’s high school graduation.
Buh.
I feel okay.
But this will never go away completely.
I had some luscious curls last night after I took my bun down. Only place I would post a shot like this, it’s a bit much. But since my face isn’t in it this is less myspacey and narcissistic, right?
