Wondering

Did the previous post make ANY sense? I am really tired. I've been doing homework all day--and not because it's Tuesday. I might do this on a Saturday, also, if given unlimited time and money with which to do so.

Love Thy Monday as Thy Weekend

I need to discuss a very distressing issue with you peops. I am talking about day of the week discrimination. What is the deal with people being like "What a loser. I bet she is alone every Saturday night!" Next time someone says that in print or aloud, I will say something like: "Oh yeah? How many Tuesdays have you spent out drinkin' and carrousing, biatch?" And also "shut up, tool."

Look, I understand that for some people being alone on a weekend is some huge deal because the weekends are all sacred and awesome time when the man is not oppressing us and we can do whatever we want for two consecutive days and all that crap and we should be living them to the fullest, but why is someone else's idea of fulfillment impressed upon me and now upon an innocent day of the week? That is ridiculous. What if what I want to do most is nothing? I mean, what if I *like* being home on Saturday nights? What if I am a wild person on Wednesday afternoon with hundreds of drunken Irishmen chorusing in a third round of Father Abraham Had Many Sons?

Here are other reasons I submit that this whole "are you alone weekend nights, you loser" theory is flawed:
1-yes, I work for the man and so do my friends, but none of us are really oppressed and many times we see each other during the week because we have to do really important things on the weekend like vacuum and catch up on netflix

2-when you're in college, every day= no particular day

3-discrimination. Monday is a perfectly valid day of the week with feelings and minutes, just like any other day of the week

So stop saying this to people. It's obnoxious.

Crap I Think is Overrated

Another short list followed by pointless commentary.

Please bear in mind that I like all this stuff fine, but I think people get way too jazzy about it.

Ice Cream
Texas A & M
Lance Armstrong
The Simpsons*
Tea
wedding dresses, especially regarding color of

*The Simpsons are awesome, but I get annoyed when every Tom, Dick, and Asshat uses liking the Simpsons as a litmus test for coolness. Yes, everyone likes the Simpsons. Move on.

I'm pretty tired, so I can't come up with all the stuff that I notice people are usually so jazzy about that makes me wonder: what are they so jazzy about? I will update as I remember things.

P.S. I hate writing papers even though I am fairly awesome at it.

Coming soon: Things I Find Wicked Awesome That Most Other (Sane) People Find Non-Awesome. This will undoubtedly be quite long. I am a bit of an odd one. But nice. Ooh-- don't steal that! It's my new motto.

Coming a little later: Crap I Think is Overrated.

I Only Bought One Pack of Chicken Thighs

...at Disco Kroger just now.

So can someone please explain to me why my receipt is roughly the length of the perimeter of the Astrodome and there is writing on the whole thing?

One pack of chicken thighs. Nothing more.

P.S. Have y'all seen Scuba Steve who works there? He has these amazing goggle-type black eyeglasses. He's very serious about his job as cashier. He's quite nice, but painfully literal. "No, seriously, who let the dogs out?"
