I don't care what you say. Vocal chicken IS in the dictionary...

Me and Chris played vocal chicken. That was bunches of fun...

I'm sick. It's horrible. I got to stay home from school, though, and that was nice. However, I did have to surrender and go against everything I stand for and go the the doctor. I hate going to the doctor because...

1.) The Long Wait
2.) The Major Expense
3.) You get more germs going to the doctor's office than you do just staying home and waiting it out.
4.) Doctor's offices smell bad.

Anyways, yesterday...or, the day before? we got into our new trailer to go clean it. Hmm, well, what can I say about this? The people who lived there before us were a lesbian couple....and the fan in my room is rainbow colored....I swear, I saw it and almost passed out laughing. In between spurts of laughter, I pleaded with my dad to let me get a new fan. Upon seeing it, he willingly agreed. They also left us a rainbow key...LOL I'm sorry, I just find it funny. Upon them being lesbians who loved to display their pride in such ways as decoration of their ceiling fixtures, they also happened to be chain smokers, so our walls were yellow with nicotine. However, the landlords allowed us to paint the walls whatever color we desired (save red and black....go figure) so mine are a dark gray, with a light gray sponged over it, with fuschia stripes. Very funkadelic. LOL

Drag this neurotic to hysterics....

By the way, West Monroe High sucks. Like, really bad. LOL I got lost so bad the first day...I don't want to talk about it. LOL The bus ride home takes over an hour. Agh...

I watched The Stepford Wives the other day on HBO, and I just have to publicly post props to Glenn Close. She doesn't do too many movies, but, when she does, she is just awesome. Whether it's from Fatal Attraction to 101 Dalmations to The Stepford Wives, her characters would not but what they are without her talent. Wooo

I have a serious case of PHS and it will be NNM. I know NO ONE knows what this means LOL But that's just part of its awesome. And, no, PHS is not a real medical term....YET. LOL Don't even ask me about it because I won't tell you what PHS means. And NNM....I mean, duh, No Names Mentioned.

Guess what's coming up? If you don't already know, I'm not going to tell you....

I start Driver's Ed on November 7th. Yes!

I officially declare the song "Just For You" as no longer slow crap...YAY!

Why are people all out to prove they're deep? What makes being deep so great anyway? It's so annoying. Just so you know, if you have to say that you're deep and explain how complicated the inner workings of your mind are, you are not THAT deep to begin with.

Nuh uh, girlfriend, you better be stayin' away from my colorin' book.

It was two in the morning, I had just finished texting, I was lying in my bed, I was listening to AC/DC....when I suddenly realized that I wasn't tired anymore. So, I jumped up on my bed and started headbanging with a head cold at 2 in the AM. Funkadelic times that hit us when we least expect them...

The book "Anthem" is beautiful. I read it for Eng. III GT AP, and I just loved it.

It's official: you CANNOT suck up quarters with the vacuum cleaner attachment. :(


I'm signing off for now,

Much love in the snazzy jazziest way possible,

Eryn

P.S. ..."Peers don't know what they can't see, they can't see inside of me, It's sickening how comforting the privacy of the mind can be. How much longer will I try before I realize I'm desperate in the situation that I'm in again? I'm exhausted, yet another topic, I'm exhausted. Frequently, with no regrets...oh yeah..."

"Look what I found! A cockroach and 15 cents!"

Yesterday I got the rare opportunity to hang up on someone. It was very interesting...I got mad, said something, followed by a quick "Bye", and hung up. Of course, my glory was short lived when they called back and I answered it....I'm a loser...besides, there was more to be said. LOL I remember the only other person I have hung up on was my best friend when I was 8....and we were arguing over singing. LOL Go figure...

If a hobo is a girl, is she called a hoba? I will be looking into this...

Yesterday, our original plans were to stay in a two bedroom trailer, directly across the street from the one we shall be renting, for a week, until our "permanent" trailer is ready. However, upon seeing said two bedroom trailer, we decided to spend the week with my mom's cousins. Let's just say...the trailer needed much.....?work?......?repairs?.....?large amounts of Raid?. LOL It was so funny because my six year old cousin was walking around, and the people who had stayed in the trailer before had left some stuff lying around, so he decided to go searching. So, my mom, my aunt, and I were standing around talking, and he just bursts in, "Hey! Look what I found! A cockroach and 15 cents!" And it was just so random and we freaked out laughing. He then continued his investigation to discover crayons, a toy car, and a glow in the dark bracelet. LOL


But anyways, today my brother was registered for school. His school is NICE. I mean, I wish I went there. LOL It was so funny because we walked through this huge indoor courtyard area, and on the ground, they had painted a huge USA map. So, while my mom, brother, and the school lady were involved in an intelligent conversation about education,....my dad and I were jumping on the map from what would be the Gulf of Mexico, saying, "Look! We're here!" LOL He was jumping on St Bernard saying, "That's where we used to live" and I was jumping on West Monroe going, "And this is where we're at now!" LOL Anyways, we went to my school, which is HUGE...I mean, HUGE HUGE...I mean probably the size of CHS, AJ, and SBHS put together HUGE. LOL But anyways, unlike my brother, who is starting tomorrow, I'll be starting Wednesday. Yays!


Today I went to the mall, also, and bought: new converse, new socks (woo!), Jack Skelington beanie, and a The NBC shirt. I wasn't going to be able to get anything other than shoes, buuuuuuut....the guy in the store we went in was a good salesman and I was very convincing in my begging and...yeah...Oh...and I got a new straightener for like...$40...it's supposed to be good. I hope.


I FOUND MY $21! AND EVEN THOUGH MY CAMERA BROKE I WAS STILL ABLE TO GET THE PICS DEVELOPED! YAYS!


I am so happy because people are already giving us stuff for our house. As far as I know, we already have a place to stay, all the kitchen stuff, TVs, towels, beds and stuff, and much more. (Which is why we can afford to blow at least a little bit of our money on my stuff. LOL)


I love October, November, and December sooo much. They are the best months of the year....wooooo!

As always, love in the snazzy jazziest way possible,
Eryn

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Revelation

ATTENTION PEOPLE JUST VIEWING THIS BLOG FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WEEK/WEEKS: DO NOT ASSUME THIS IS THE MOST RECENT POST. WITHIN THE LAST TWO DAYS, I HAVE ADDED ABOUT 20. LOL SO GO CHECK THEM OUT!

Today, we went to eat at Ryan's (the buffet place), and it was disaster. LOL First, Josh, who has strep throat, threw up....he always manages to do that at alkward places...like the movie theater (the people in front of us FREAKED! LOL). Anyways, then my dad was like, "Eryn, hand me a napkin." and I was buttering a piece of bread and so I was like, "Josh, give dad a napkin." and Josh was taking a sip of drink and ignored me, so my dad was like, "*LOUD ANNOYED SIGH*, fine" and he reached over and grabbed the napkin. He was like, "Why didn't you just get it? Josh had a drink in his hand." and I still had the butter knife in my hand and I decided to do this dramatic flourish with it to show him that I had that in my hand and I forgot there was butter on it so when I did that dramatic flourish, the butter flew off the knife and hit the back of the chair behind us. Of course, you know me, I freaked out and spazzed and busted out laughing, and my dad just was like, "......." LOL


Now I am outta Erath and in West Monroe.
This is fun...

I lost $21 and broke my camera. I really suck.

My dad and I invented an interesting game in the hotel. We took an empty Sprite can and kept hitting it back and forth (NOT tossing it) and tried to keep it from hitting the ground. Many of you have probably played this with a balloon. However, it is more painful with an empty Sprite can...LOL

Today we were in the car and the huge CD binder (that my dad just HAD to buy) flew from the back window and hit me in the head when my dad slammed on the brakes, so I took the binder and beat him with it at the red light. LOL Good times, good times...

I miss the scanner....I loved it so much...we had this amazing relationship....I would draw things and it would scan it....*sigh and lovesick look*.

"I wanna go hoooome, I wanna go hommme."


"We're gonna rise and fight for Chalmette high...."




Hey, look! It's my living room! Look at my brand new couch...LOL (It's that thing sorta in the middle, to the right, sticking straight up...LOL)







This is what once was my backyard....LOL SHUT UP I KNOW IT WAS SMALL!!






The front/side sorta view of my house...I miss you so!!! There was a boat and car in my front yard...go figure. LOL





That's my room...on the second floor. I would like to remind you that I shared it with my brother, and it WAS...sorta clean...and the pet rescue people messed a lotta stuff up. LOL

This really sucks...my blog is being dumb...but I love these pictures....

Another written post! I <3 scanners!!


It's so true and it applies to everything in my life...

I can't wait to leave...I'm so lonely and bored...


It's a beautiful advertisement...

The written blog entry...

My Doodles!

Awakening to the sounds of a 4 year old and the sight of a rubber duckie...

Doesn't that sound like a great morning? Believe it or not, today I woke up at like 9:30....that's LATE for me. Yesterday I woke up at like...7:23.


Me: "Hey, does Chris still ride the bus? If he does, tell him I said hi."
Kari: "Why don't you just ride the bus?"
Me: "...Because I don't go to school anymore...."
Kari: "Shut up!"
LOL That was so funny, I was laughing forever on that one.


Today I got to go to Delcambre and get a Dr. Pepper icee! WOOO! I am so happy, I missed them so....LOL


Um...let's see....like 3 1/2 days left in Erath, and then I'm gone, gone, gone. Gone like Wilson, the piece of sugar cane, when I left the window open...LOL


Today...we went to McDonald's...and my brother was sitting across from me at the table...and I had a salad...and it takes me forever to eat the salads because first I have to pick out all the nasty crap they put on it (tomatoes, cheese, bacon bits, egg, etc)...so, anyways, I had JUST picked out all the nasty crap and put on the dressing...and taken like two bites...and my brother SNEEZES...and does NOT cover his face...and it goes ALL over my salad...it was so gross. I had to throw it away and go stand in line and buy something else. I was not happy. LOL


Me during Easter when I was like 5 years old...and you wonder why I wear all black now...LOL



This is my Erath High I.D. picture. It's really bad...LOL




I love this picture...it's awesome...:-D

The Nightmare Before Christmas Poem

The Original Poem

This is the poem that Tim Burton based The Nightmare Before Christmas on.

It was late one fall in Halloweenland,
and the air had quite a chill.
Against the moon a skeleton sat,
alone upon a hill.

He was tall and thin with a bat bow tie;
Jack Skellington was his name.
He was tired and bored in Halloweenland

"I’m sick of the scaring, the terror, the fright.
I’m tired of being something that goes bump in the night.
I’m bored with leering my horrible glances,
And my feet hurt from dancing those skeleton dances.
I don’t like graveyards, and I need something new.

There must be more to life than just yelling, ‘Boo!’"

Then out from a grave, with a curl and a twist,
Came a whimpering, whining, spectral mist.
It was a little ghost dog, with a faint little bark,
And a jack-o’-lantern nose that glowed in the dark.
It was Jack’s dog, Zero, the best friend he had,
But Jack hardly noticed, which made Zero sad.

All that night and through the next day,
Jack wandered and walked.
He was filled with dismay.
Then deep in the forest, just before night,
Jack came upon an amazing sight.
Not twenty feet from the spot where he stood
Were three massive doorways carved in wood.
He stood before them, completely in awe,

His gaze transfixed by one special door.
Entranced and excited, with a slight sense of worry,
Jack opened the door to a white, windy flurry.

Jack didn’t know it, but he’d fallen down
In the middle of a place called Christmas Town!
Immersed in the light, Jack was no longer haunted.
He had finally found the feeling he wanted.
And so that his friends wouldn’t think him a liar,

He took the present filled stockings that hung by the fire.
He took candy and toys that were stacked on the shelves
And a picture of Santa with all of his elves.
He took lights and ornaments and the star from the tree,
And from the Christmas Town sign, he took the big letter C.

He picked up everything that sparkled or glowed.
He even picked up a handful of snow.
He grabbed it all, and without being seen,

He took it all back to Halloween.

Back in Halloween a group of Jack’s peers
Stared in amazement at his Christmas souvenires.
For this wondrous vision none were prepared.
Most were excited, though a few were quite scared!

For the next few days, while it lightninged and thundered,
Jack sat alone and obsessively wondered.
"Why is it they get to spread laughter and cheer

While we stalk the graveyards, spreading panic and fear?
Well, I could be Santa, and I could spread cheer!
Why does he get to do it year after year?"
Outraged by injustice, Jack thought and he thought.
Then he got an idea. "Yes. . .yes. . .why not!"

In Christmas Town, Santa was making some toys
When through the din he heard a soft noise.
He answered the door, and to his surprise,

He saw weird little creatures in strange disguise.
They were altogether ugly and rather petite.
As they opened their sacks, they yelled, "Trick or treat!"
Then a confused Santa was shoved into a sack
And taken to Halloween to see mastermind Jack.

In Halloween everyone gathered once more,
For they’d never seen a Santa before
And as they cautiously gazed at this strange old man,

Jack related to Santa his masterful plan:

"My dear Mr. Claus, I think it’s a crime
That you’ve got to be Santa all of the time!
But now I will give presents, and I will spread cheer.
We’re changing places I’m Santa this year.
It is I who will say Merry Christmas to you!
So you may lie in my coffin, creak doors, and yell, ‘Boo!’
And please, Mr. Claus, don’t think ill of my plan.
For I’ll do the best Santa job that I can."

And though Jack and his friends thought they’d do a good job,
Their idea of Christmas was still quite macabre.
They were packed up and ready on Christmas Eve day
When Jack hitched his reindeer to his sleek coffin sleigh,
But on Christmas Eve as they were about to begin,
A Halloween fog slowly rolled in.
Jack said, "We can’t leave; this fog’s just too think.
There will be no Christmas, and I can’t be St. Nick."

Then a small glowing light pierced through the fog.
What could it be?. . .It was Zero, Jack’s dog!

Jack said, "Zero, with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?"

And to be so needed was Zero’s great dream,
So he joyously flew to the head of the team.
And as the skeletal sleigh started its ghostly flight,

Jack cackled, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

‘Twas the nightmare before Christmas, and all though the house,
Not a creature was peaceful, not even a mouse.
The stockings all hung by the chimney with care,
When opened that morning would cause quite a scare!
The children, all nestled so snug in their beds,
Would have nightmares of monsters and skeleton heads.
The moon that hung over the new-fallen snow

Cast an eerie pall over the city below,
And Santa Claus’s laughter now sounded like groans,
And the jingling bells like chattering bones.
And what to their wondering eyes should appear,
But a coffin sleigh with skeleton deer.
And a skeletal driver so ugly and sick
They knew in a moment, this can’t be St. Nick!
From house to house, with a true sense of joy,
Jack happily issued each present and toy.

From rooftop to rooftop he jumped and he skipped,
Leaving presents that seemed to be straight from a crypt!
Unaware that the world was in panic and fear,
Jack merrily spread his own brand of cheer.

He visited the house of Susie and Dave;
They got a Gumby and Pokey from the grave.
Then on to the home of little Jane Neeman;
She got a baby doll possessed by a demon.

A monstrous train with tentacle tracks,
A ghoulish puppet wielding an ax,
A man eating plant disguised as a wreath,
And a vampire teddy bear with very sharp teeth.

There were screams of terror, but Jack didn’t hear it,
He was much too involved with his own Christmas spirit!
Jack finally looked down from his dark, starry frights
And saw the commotion, the noise, and the light.

"Why, they’re celebrating, it looks like such fun!
They’re thanking me for the good job that I’ve done."
But what he thought were fireworks meant as goodwill
Were bullets and missiles intended to kill.
Then amidst the barrage of artillery fire,
Jack urged Zero to go higher and higher.
And away they all flew like the storm of a thistle,
Until they were hit by a well guided missile.
And as they fell on the cemetery, way out of sight,

Was heard, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night."

Jack pulled himself up on a large stone cross,
And from there he reviewed his incredible loss.
"I thought I could be Santa, I had such belief"
Jack was confused and filled with great grief.
Not knowing where to turn, he looked toward the sky,
Then he slumped on the grave and he started to cry.

And as Zero and Jack lay crumpled on the ground,
They suddenly heard a familiar sound.

"My dear Jack," said Santa, "I applaud your intent.
I know wreaking such havoc was not what you meant.
And so you are sad and feeling quite blue,
But taking over Christmas was the wrong thing to do.
I hope you realize Halloween’s the right place for you.

There’s a lot more, Jack, that I’d like to say,
But now I must hurry, for it’s almost Christmas day.
" Then he jumped in his sleigh, and with a wink of an eye,
He said, "Merry Christmas," and he bid them good bye.

Back home, Jack was sad, but then, like a dream,
Santa brought Christmas to the land of Halloween.



^OMG I love this poem...I got it from http://www.halloweentown.org, which is awesome if you are a Nightmare Before Christmas fan.

For those who have ever sucked some sorta beverage outta a Twizzler or Sour Straw...

"Tall Cool One" by Robert Plant...although I will swear that it sounds like Ric Ocasek...or whatever...the lead singer dude for the cars...

I'm like a strange cat running in the heat of the night
I've got a fire in my eyes, got a date with delight
Some kinda moaning in in the heart of the storm
I'm gonna love you so hard, you'll want your loving done

Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you
Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you

With my one hand loose I aim to satisfy

Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you--

I'm so tall and you're so cute
Let's play wild like wildcats do
You're gonna rock your tall cool one

You stroll, you jump, you're hot and you tease
'Cause I'm your tall cool one and I'm built to please

You stroll, you jump, you're hot and you tease
'Cause I'm your tall cool one and I'm built to please

[Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you --]

Move over mister - step on back in the crowd'
Cause she's a whole lotta sister 'bout to drive me wild
Lotta places I've been, lotta names, lotta words
No one compares to my real gone girl

Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you --

I'm so tall and you're so cute [etc repeated]

You stroll, you jump [etc repeated]

[Lighten up baby, I'm in love with you --]

Where we can gaze into the stars
And sit together, now and forever

For it is plain as anyone can see
We’re simply meant to be

The Crappy Version of "Sweet Child O'Mine" and Lots of Soap

I love that as a title for a blog entry. It's awesomeness even rivals that of "The Chicken Sandwich Analogy and the Spaghetti Furnace"...

Today I found a cat. It was so cute...all white with a gray tail and dark brown ears and such. I might get to keep it...the thing is, we don't know if it is a boy or girl. If it's a boy, we will call it Zorro, and, if it's a girl, we'll call it Zora. If any one of you is thinking some sarcastic remark such as "How original"...you're dead. LOL

I am bored...and in a "mood". That has got to be the funniest expression ever..."in a mood". It just strikes me as one of those things that is interesting...

Christian soooooo offended me on the phone today. LOL I told him I got my hair cut and he was like, "Is it frizzy still?" And I was like, "....UH! Frizzy STILL? You never told me it was frizzy before!" and he was like...laughing and then he was like, "Well...it was a LITTLE" and I was like, "You're just telling me 'a LITTLE' so I won't bite your head off". LOL But that's okay, he's still my bestest buddy. LOL

Did you know that there is a version of "Sweet Child O'Mine" in which a girl sings?? Guess what? IT'S CRAP. That is a GNR song, it always was a GNR song, and it ALWAYS will be a GNR song. I was enraged. LOL I was walking around yelling at my brother going, "This sooo sucks! This is NOT right!"

Erath: ...it's not even fun to say!

Yeah I am back in Erath...it's not even fun to say. LOL I have been saying that forever.

Yesterday I wasted a whole medium icee. Here's the thing: my mom sends me in to get three icees, two mediums and a small. So I go in and juggle the three icees and my money, and I pay for them. This guy walks in and he does that nod-smile-"What's up?" thing and I was like "Hi" and walked past him and had to kick open the door due to lack of hands. LOL Well, I get to the car and decided to put the icees on top the car so I could open the door, and two of them were okay but one of the mediums (mine..LOL) toppled over and AS SOON AS MY MOM TURNS HER HEAD TO LOOK AT ME this blanket of icee just covers the front seat passenger door...window and all. It was horrible. My mom is just giving me this look and I had to back up and I can't breathe I am laughing so hard, I swear I was doubled over, almost on the ground, just LAUGHING. So I picked up the cup and went back inside and that dude was at the register, LAUGHING, and I was like, "You saw that?" and he was like "*Bursts of laughter* you just dropped it....you didn't even try to grab it" and the lady behind the counter was just like, "Go ahead" and so I made another one...it was funny. LOL

Today I went to the mall and got my hair trimmed and straightened. I think it looks as prettiful as it can be for it being MY hair (LOL), and I took pics. They will be on my myspace as soon as humanly possible. But...I have 21 pictures left on my camera....so it may be awhile. I will probably waste them on Erath and Lafayette since I'll be outta here in a week. The City Court is like smaller than the size of Hot Topic in the mall. LOL I swear it's tiny. And the cane...oh goodness, the immense cane fields. LOL

I have nothing else to say. Life is boring today. Hmm....


Love in the snazzy jazziest way,
ErYn

You think you're tough

Over the river and across the state line, to West Monroe we return....

After spending two days meeting new family...well not new...just rediscovered....in Wiggins, Mississippi, I have returned to West Monroe and am spending the weekend by my Uncle Wyatt and Aunt Jeannie's house. *Head spins* If you think I am on the road too much, you should really just try it...sheesh...

I did have an interesting experience, though, that I shall relate back to you. It's about my having dinner at a little Mississippi restaurant they call Western Sizzlin...or Sizzler...SOMETHING. Anyways, I go there with my mom, brother, Uncle Wyatt, Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Anne, and Aunt Cindy, and it's like this buffet place. Well...I go up to the thing...and the only recognizable food there was macaroni and cheese. All of the rest of the food was....*shudders*.....*can barely continue*......fried chicken livers, fried gizzards, "greens" (I don't even wanna think about it....), and such "country" foods. I am SCARRED. FOR LIIIIFE. So then I sat down at the table with a small plate of weird tasting macaroni and cheese and smothered it with pepper and had my family make fun of me for not participating in the consumption of their "home cooking". Right...

I asked for a Wal Mart, they pointed out a Piggly Wiggly. Reasons why I am not fond of Mississippi...

The house we stayed at was huge......acres and acres of land...a barn....a huge pond that I will swear was a rather small lake....not a neighbor for miiiiiles.

What happens if something horrible happens in the country? What if one of those MANY trees falls on you...? There's no one around...and even if someone was and could call 911, it would be another hour, at least, before they got there....provided they didn't get lost.

It finally is beginning to feel like fall! Oh I am so happy...hopefully it will be getting cold up here around my birthday....we should be moving into that trailer around my birthday....that should be fun.

I get my own room again. That's gonna be awesome...

I FINALLY GOT THROUGH TO MY VOICEMAIL!!!!!! ....9 messages....and 8 were Christian! AT LEAST I KNOW MY BESTEST BUDDY LOVES ME! I PAID $0.35 FOR HIM! HE BETTER LOVE ME! LOL

Kudos to Chris....he stumped me. On the phone, he said "I am going to get a two legged cat and name it Eileen" and I was like, "....Eileen??" and he was like "Yeah, EILEEN" and I was like "......ok." and he was like "You don't get it, do you?" and I was like "No..." and he was like "Two legged....Eileen....I LEAN...." and I was like, "....ooohh!" LOL That was classic.

Anyways, I'mma get going.

Love much to all the snazzy jazzy folk of the world....

And I found my love at a Citgo gas station...

Okay, West Monroe officially has my thumbs up. At the Citgo gas station....they have.....Dr.Pepper and Sprite icees...I'm in love. LOL

Today I will be leaving West Monroe for two days. Today I am traveling to Tylertown, Mississippi, to visit my grandparents. Tomorrow, I will be traveling from Tylertown to Wiggins to see the rest of my family...the people I sort of didn't know existed. (The people that call my mom "Bunny Kaye"....which is even weirder than "Bunny" LOL)

After my two days in Mississippi, I imagine we'll be coming back up here to West Monroe until, let's say, Sunday. After that, it's back to Nothingsville to start packing because I am almost 100% sure we are moving here...


The high school that I will be going to...the only one in the town...city...whatever....is huge. HUUUGE. But you can wear whatever you want...that's awesome. Well, I've gone to the smallest school in Erath and now I am going to be going to one of the larger ones in West Monroe...bring it. I can deal, I just hope I find some otherwise interesting people to hang with.


It does suck, though, that I just settled at Erath and already I am gone...oooh I'm just so super cool like that. I'm here and then I'm gone. LOL


Alright, I can't take this kind of pressure! I'm putting a song on here! Urrrgh...real lyrics search...Ratt..."Lovin' You's A Dirty Job"...

Ratt
Lovin' You's a Dirty Job
From - Detonator

I woke up in the mornin'
I'm still flat on my back
Couldn't move a muscle like I had a heart attack
The night was wild and woolly
Didn't think I'd make it through it
'Cause lovin' you's a dirty job
And I'm the man to do it

Lovin' you is a dirty job
Lovin' you is a dirty job

You put me through the ringer and hung me out to dry
You licked me off your fingers just like a piece of pie
You break my heart in pieces
But I've got the glue to glue it

Girl lovin' you's a dirty job
And I'm the man to do it

Lovin' you is a dirty job
Lovin' you is a dirty job
Lovin you is a dirty job
Girl lovin' you's a dirty job and
I'm the man to do it

I'm gonna hold you till the end of time
I'm gonna love you 'cause it's now or never
I'm gonna kiss you till I make you mine

Lovin' you is a dirty job
Lovin' you is a dirty job

I'm gonna hold you till the end of time
I'm gonna love you 'cause it's now or never
I'm gonna kiss you till I make you mine

Lovin' you is a dirty job
Lovin' you is a dirty job
Lovin you is a dirty job

Girl your love is thicker than mud
And you're trying to drag me through it now
Lovin' you is a dirty job
Lovin' you is a dirty job

The Chicken Sandwich Analogy and the Spaghetti Furnace

Before I begin, I would just like to say....Chris.....I told you I would title my next blog entry “The Chicken Sandwich Analogy”....the Spaghetti Furnace is something new that I will inform you about when we next speak...which will be in a few minutes because I have to call you back. LOL


In melancholy bliss, my glorious trip to Metairie has now ended. Despite my weary travels and the long time spent cramped in the car, as soon as I started seeing the places of familiarity that outlined my life, I couldn’t help but smile. However, destruction was everywhere. Outside of almost every house and apartment complex sat piles and piles of “ruined crap”, such as mildewed furniture, refrigerators, ripped out carpet, and such saddening images. Although Katrina’s damage was still everywhere, there was still this hopeful sense about the place. I guess it started with seeing how all the businesses, from Target with its “Target is OPEN” sign to hole-in-the-wall bars, were open and seeing the many cars darting to and fro as people tried to regain a sense of regularity that had wrongly been stolen from them. I even had a newfound appreciation for the smog that covered the sky and prevented me from seeing the stars I wish upon every night. But...even though it was appreciated...I was still pissed I couldn’t see my stars. LOL


Sadly, my parents would not allow me to accompany them on their Saturday trip to the place of our natural habitat, The Great Chalmette. They did videotape it, as I asked them to....a whole 12 minutes, but let me not branch out into my disappointment. :) Anyways, my house is ruined. Well, I mean we knew that all along, but for some reason, for the past month, we had a small hope that anything above the waterline on the second floor could possibly be salvaged. Of course, that was not possible. The mildew had spread all the way up the second floor....nothing could be saved. Farewell, dear St. Bernard, parting is bittersweet sorrow.


Knowing what we know now, how can we be who we were then?


The pain....the pain of driving past movie theater after movie theater and seeing “Corpse Bride” under the now playing list...and not being able to see it. I COULD probably see it...but I am waiting for my one true love/love slave/bestest buddy because we promised each other that we would not go see it until we could see it together. Even if we have to wait until it comes on DVD....let's pray it doesn't get to that...



Well, I was going to include a song, but I don't feel like typing the whole thing and AOL is keeping me from finding it online. DIAL UP!

Snazzy Jazzy now, my friends,
Much love in an ice queen sort of way,
Eryn
