I Really Am As Hot As The Guy In That Picture

What the hell has happened to John McCain? He used to be a lot different, or was it just me? I remember thinking a few years back how he would’ve been a better president than George Bush. Now, though, he doesn’t look like he could handle being president of the 4-H club…

I’m going this way, I’m going that way. Wait, no…the other way. Can someone please control these polls!? They’re making me look like I can’t make up my own mind. 

Oh, wait. That’s right. It’s called “adaptive policy updating”. Only Democrats flip-flop.

Anyway, in other news, my wheelchair that has served me as well as any improper working piece of machinery can for 9 years has finally died.

It leaves behind a legacy of impromptu crashes at key moments, like just before a concert or if I have a wedding I have to go to, or if it was just being a bitch.  

I never even got to say goodbye. It went into the shop and died right there on the table. I joke about not saying goodbye to it, but oddly, I was kind of sad about it (until I realized what an absurd process it is to get a new one, then I was downright angry).

Why I was sad, I’m not entirely sure. Perhaps it has something to do with how much I depended on the damn thing and the purposes it served: legs, backrest, dresser, weapon.

It served those purposes quite well. When I first got it, I didn’t really have sex in mind so it wasn’t the greatest for that. However, I definitely will have it in mind when I get a new one.

Speaking of weddings (up there, I swear, I was speaking of them), I have to go to one this weekend. Does anyone dislike these as much as I do? I mean, I dislike going pretty much anywhere that I can’t wear a hat and have to talk to people I don’t really know, but I have a special dislike for weddings.

I don’t understand why you would want to spend thousands of dollars on a night where you make promises to a person that you’ll likely break a million times over in some way. And, I don’t think the “oh, it’s totally a girl thing” argument holds much weight, because I want a wedding.

Hello, Captain Illogical!

My CD cases could not be organized in a more impractical way. In a deep, fairly closed book shelf, the piles are stacked in front of other piles. I’d rather just buy the album I’m looking for on ITunes than go digging through them all. Whose idea was this? Certainly not mine.

Not many people can name an all-time favorite song that beats all others. This is mine. Enjoy.

Our Lady Peace / Life

WELL! hello there my fine friend who attends those annoying weddings but secretly (not so) plots to have one himself…one day. I hate weddings too…I like the whole honeymoon thingy. So…you know If I had a shiney new wheel chair…I would fit it up with some NOS, spinners, and a huge MFKN Flames logo…because I would sooooo just take over the world with my iron ass attitude. MOVE OUTTA THE WAY, BITCHES! But…I am kind of strange in a very Calgarian sense…you E-town folks hate us.

My all time favourite song is New Radicals – Someday We’ll Know. I enjoy weddings of the people I’m close to, but not so much when i’m just invited to add to the present collection, which happens quite a bit. Good luck with your new chair

I love this entry title. 😛

Dude, I saw a double amputee using a skateboard at a restaurant the other day. At least you don’t have to do that. I abhor weddings too. However, I am consistent and don’t want one of my own.

I think you look kind of like Nicholas Cage in that picture. Handsome. I like weddings…what can I say, I’m about as girly as you can get. Well not really…not frilly girly but romantic girly. It’s fun to see people you haven’t seen in a while, witness a true love moment, and meet new people. I haven’t been to that many of them, but I got one coming up in a few months that I’m invited to.

John McCain scares me, mostly because his mouth looks like it’s about to run away from his face.

I think that anyone next to Bush was a better candidate, but Obama actually has some teeth – hence the weaker looking McCain. Anyways, the polls flip-flop because this election will not be won based on likely voters, and the pollsters know this. It will be based on people who have never voted once before in their lives, but will come out because of a strong (and probably stupid) reason for or against Obama. So the pollsters are trying to locate these “unlikely voters,” and they suck at it. Basically… Weddings – I hate them. Mostly because they only make me feel sad and pathetic that I don’t have a man yet. That and they make me cry because I start to imagine what my wedding would be like. I flip-flop on the wedding – some days I want a big beautiful one with all my friends and family. Other days I want to elope and have a backyard BBQ a month later as the reception. So much more casual and relaxed. Who knows what will happen in the end? Talk about illogical! 😉 ~rory

Eh, I’m pretty sure that Obama’s going to wipe the floor with McCain…but I’ve been wrong before. So, y’know, just throwing an opinion out there. Sorry to hear about your wheelchair. Hope your new one is awesome. Weddings…you know I’ve never been to one? Three funerals, no weddings.

June 18, 2008

O_O If this is your all time favorite … why do I not have it??? I went to look and it is not in any of the folders you sent me. =P and you sent me a lot from them. Hugs, talk to ya soon. LoL just go to the wedding and be happy and stop your complaining 🙂 Picture? I have seen a much better one of ya, I think it was with blonde hair LoL, ok I will shush.

OLP…. god I just wet myself. Really sad I have no sound at work. We’re clearly soulmates, you and I. I like weddings.. or at least I used to. When I was little and my family was big and loud and got drunk and happy. Now they all just don’t speak. However, if I ever get married it will be a cheap backyard BBQ reception! Nice.

June 19, 2008

(cont) and everyone will dance in the grass on a hot hot hot summer night and it will be beautiful because again – everyone will be drunk and happy! Good luck with the sex chair my pet.

June 19, 2008

ah i am sorry to hear about your wheel chair…i would imagine they would be incredibly expensive… as for the wedding thing..i think the way most people do them is retarded..just…retarded. they spend so much money for what?? and then they usually end up going into debt. i say, if you’re going to have a wedding spend the money on the honeymoon and the party!! THATS where its at…i think people do it so backwards lol…as they usually do with everything.

June 19, 2008

eh, I think I would ‘miss’ my wheelchair companion of nine years as well – though I can only imagine the bureaucratic mess that accompanies getting a new one.. ugh. and as for weddings… my jury is definitely still out. all the best,

I had a friend in high school, she was in a wheelchair since kindergarten, and every time she had to change her chair, she cried. And she’d bitch about how the new chair wasnt comfortable for a few weeks unti she got used to it… I guess it’s normal, it’s part of your every day you. It’s good u have a new working ride, though!! haha, just as long as it doesnt redce your hotness, it’s all good! 😉

I am definitely an Our Lady Peace die hard. Love their old stuff, and remember when it was new stuff. Good luck with the new sex chair – I mean wheel chair.

Omg a note! lol Thanks for the note… All is… improving. Randomly sincere compliments are always nice. And yes, your mailman should definitely be a she. Do you really not have a mailman? I’m so easily confused. lol

I want a wedding. Really, really want a wedding. But I’m not so sure about the whole “marriage” idea. (this is of course making no mention of the fact that I’m totally single) I don’t hate weddings as much as some people do, but I don’t particularly look forward to them. And yet… I still want one.
