(joke about NYE ball dropping and YOUR balls...
I woke up to a lot of these texts today. I’m sure you did too, those “Let’s ring in the new year!” rah rah’s that people spill out in mass texts. Another year has passed. It’s been a DECADE since Y2K. I have been alive for TWO DECADES.
We’re so arrogant about time. We cage it in watches, lock it up in grandfather clocks and watch the seconds tick by...
corgisandboobs asked: I don't wanna be "that guy," but on some of your VYou thingies I was kinda distracted by, umm, (how to put this delicately) your ... alps? And I wasn't even trying to be. Dammit. Me and my awkwardness.

corgisandboobs asked: dude, that was crazy timing. you asked your question while i asked mine. weiiiiiiird. oh, and "sweet nothings" simply means cute phrases that mean nothing except to the two of you. like most of my female friends have the same irritating nickname for me, but they think it's cute so they say it all the time. and they're far too little and cute to reprimand for saying it. sigh....
corgisandboobs asked: Umm, you are stupidly, stupidly gorgeous. That is all for now, but there may be more once I find out where my mandible went when it fell off my face.

sleepssundays asked: Thank you so much, I've really enjoyed all of that! (Except maybe Mountaineer). Tallest Man, El Guichno and Neon Indian are all artists I've not really liked much before (or perhaps I've just not given them a proper chance) but clearly I was just doing it wrong as these songs are great. I think that's probably the nicest thing a stranger on the internet has done for me in a...

Right.

-Mood lifted greatly by finding that, for whatever reason, Leah freaking Williams is following me. Which is weird because she is not a person, she is a blogging hero. So that was nice, even if it is just like an automatic followback or whatever. Anyway, you should follow her for funny (her VYou is a constant delight), good music (anyone who picks “All the Kings Men” by...

VICTIMS OF THE SUCCESS FROM EXCESS
This is the kind of culture that we cultivate. Where even when it becomes harmful to you, you are told to consume, consume, consume. It doesn’t matter if you are killing yourself. People who are morbidly obese and hoarders have the same root problem: hailing from an environment that encourages your consumption, (whether food or capital) at all costs. DEMOCRAZY

Conversations with Lesa and Leah
Lesa: Ew, aren’t you afraid you’re going to get AIDS from that? Leah: No. Maybe dork germs. Those are highly contagious. Lesa: True. She’s too boring to get AIDS. She is the least likely to contract a disease.
(Pause.)
Lesa: She probably has stickers for earrings.

Conversations with Lesa and Leah
Leah: She’s a virgin.
Lesa: Ew. What?
Leah: Did you just say ‘ew’ to her being a virgin?
Lesa: Yeah. Is she a creepy Christian?
Leah: No, just a virgin.
Lesa: Ew.
(This will be the start of a daily occurrence. You will love it, I swear. Lesa can be located via twitter @lesaturner!)

FINE
I will treat this like a legitimate blog. Farewell, archive. The past four years of my life are now suspended in nebulous blogspot forever. The rest of it comes here, henceforth.
