Addiction and how I think celebrities are other celebrities

My Addiction

Addiction is easy to talk about because I have an extremely addictive personality. In fact my biggest issue is going to be trying to fit all my addictions (and thoughts on addiction) into less than 2 pages….because I’m addicted to talking.

Milkyways-my gateway drug

Ever since I was little I have been obsessed with milky way chocolates. When I first moved out of home I seriously went days where that’s all I would eat…and then spend half of those days on the toilet screaming “Milky ways, you will milky pay for what you are doing to my ass” (…ha! I did it!… barely even a paragraph in and I’m talking about my bowel movements…)

I tried rationing and trying to use them as a reward like “you finish this essay and you can have 1”…but then I would just get ahead of myself and eat them all. Now I don’t keep them in the house and definitely do not buy packets because I just can’t be trusted…

This little anecdote kind of sums up how I see addiction; If I find something I like and stick with it until it makes me sick enough to stop….and that’s kind of how I think it is for most people, you keep doing it until you lose something you care about…for me I lost control of my bowels…and I care about that.

IMDB

Another thing about addiction is that whole idea of replacing the ritual that they teach alcoholics…you know when you spend your time NOT doing something you end up needing to fill that time with something else. Eg: I am not eating milky ways and subsequently spending 127 minutes on the toilet so now I have time to watch a movie.

I have the most unhealthy addiction to film and tv so its fitting that after Facebook and google that my most visited website would be imdb.

If I am watching a movie and decide that I’ve seen the actor somewhere else, I then feel the need to 100% confirm it, I will track that mother fucker down by all means necessary… (by which I mean I will go on imdb)

I am possibly the most annoying person to watch a movie with for the fact that I am wrong about 70% of the time so even if we get to go back to the movie I will probably sit there shaking my head for the rest of it saying “I was so sure it was them”…so maybe I also have an addiction to never being wrong.

Here are some of the faces I have confused:

I often wish life had an instant imdb search so that the next time a marginally attractive person calls me by my name I could hit the search button and learn their name and work out where I know them from… then I would stop calling people weird made up names or saying “hey….yooooou”

Other addictions of mine:

Painting my nails

My fingernails are generally painted up like little tuxedos or watermelons. I spend way more time on them than most people could generally be bothered with

Shoes

I’ve lost count but I must be up to over 100 pairs by now yet still lay around saying “I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR”



Zach Braff

You know it

Music:

Yes I know, everyone likes music but I get really hooked on ONE song and play it on repeat for weeks. When I first heard Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard in Highschool, I played it for a really really long time and everybody in my house hated me and now when I find I new song that I love I refer to it as “My new Ocean Avenue” and my sister knows to keep her door shut for a month or so in order to avoid hearing “I‘m Not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with yooooou do do do do do do do do do do”





Addictions that annoy me (it wouldn‘t be me of I didn‘t complain):

Smoking

Smoking stresses me for a lot of reasons. Chiefly because I highly doubt anyone has their first cigarette and just loves it…its not like other drugs that give a quick release…it takes some getting used to before you start to enjoy or crave it.

I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong but when I finally tried a cigarette for the first time a few years back I just coughed and spat and felt gross…which is why I don’t understand how a person takes it up as a habit to begin with, knowing that it is going to make you feel awful and cost a lot of money…but I guess you look oh so cool doing it so ok…personally I just dress like The Fonz and say “Beey” a lot when I want to be cool…I changed it to “Beeey” rather that ‘Eeey’ because I call myself the Blond Fonzie or ‘Blonzie’ and I wanted to have my own blonde catchphrase…oh and if you’re reading this and thinking “NOWAY! She‘s lying, she couldn‘t possibly be THAT cool”… my sister will tell you all about it…but my sister has a disorder where she says things are ‘annoying’ when she actually means that they are ‘cool’ so disregard when she says “Yes she does it and its very annoying”…she DEFINITELY means cool.

I digress. Basically, I feel like people have the right to smoke if they want to but so many believe they have the right to do it anywhere they want. No, I believe you have the right to pollute your own body but non smokers have the right to breathe clean air.

The area out the front of the café I work at is Non-Smoking, there are signs everywhere. Its non-smoking because people dining there don’t want a side of fucking cancer with their decaf soy latte…. But guaranteed daily, somebody smokes there or questions why they can’t smoke there.

If you smoke around me, I’ll usually stand back but I‘m not among the category of people who feel the need to stand there telling you to give it up because its bad for you….I do loads of things that are bad for me but If you smoke in my face, I will get the shits. If you smoke near a child, I will think you are a moron.

Phones

People who can’t put their phones down when they are in the company of other people seriously annoy me. If I’m waiting for a call I will apologise and tell the person I’m with but it stresses me out when somebody asks to hang out and then spends the entire time texting somebody else.

At work, people always come in on their phones, make their order and then if you need to confirm anything they look at you like you’re interrupting them. Um asshole that’s rude!

I want to give these texting freaks and people who talk on their phones a taste of their own medicine…yeah punk! How about when you’re talking to me I will just turn and talk to somebody else, because that’s how it feels when you do that.

People addictions

Ok this may sound a little contradictory because I listed Zb as one of my addictions but people that get overly fixated on other people stress me out. I am talking real world not fantasy maybe-if-we-ever-meet-we-might-get-married world…because I am not ruling that out (Zach Braff call me!)

Anyway…you know when your friend gets a new boyfriend or girlfriend or perhaps just makes a new pal and suddenly life revolves around that one person.

For the sake of explanation, I’m going to call this one person ‘Eglantine’ because its not a very common name to hopefully it won’t offend…oh and if your name is Eglantine its cool because this isn’t about you…so lets just clarify, if your name isn’t Eglantine, this isn’t about you and if your name IS Eglantine, this still isn’t about you…Ok? Good lets start…

Eglantine comes along and now even if you and Bob (Bobs your pal ok…or Bobita if it’s a girl…Sorry if your name is Bob/Bobita….fuck I don’t have time for this)…so now you and Bob/Bobita cant hang out as much which is ok but then when you do actually see Bob/Bobita all he/she does is talk about Eglantine(Eglatinis if it’s a boy) so if he/she is not talking about Eglantine/Elatinis (lets just say ‘Egg’ for short)…if THEY are not talking about Egg its because Egg is there…so Egg is always there, whether in body or spirit because everything is about Egg…then they break up with Egg or stop hanging out with egg and you think “phew its over” but now they just keep talking about Egg even more. Yeah I feel like I’ve lost you

Basically I am pretty independent for the most part, I hate being reliant on one specific person. Even when I’m madly in love I need a break from people in general to keep my sanity… so people that can not get through a sentence without making reference to their ‘other half’… or basically anyone who refers to their boyfriend/girlfriend as their ‘other half’ stress me out. You are a complete person. Be in love for sure, that’s awesome but if you rely on another person to fill all your time and make you happy then I probably find you a bit annoying…

….What’s that? I’m running out of room because I’ve spent too much of it trying to make up pseudo names and talking about Milky ways and shitting? Are you serious? Whatever I was totally in the mood for some scrambled EGGS anyway

When I was a kid...

I have loads of random memories from my childhood. I’m not even sure if some are real…for me trying to remember things from when I was a kid is much like when you drink too much and wake up the next morning trying to decipher your dreams from reality and then you see a new friend request on Facebook and realise that you DID make out with that gross guy with the awful white-boy afro who was wearing some Jurassic Park shirt (possibly ironically…but then again maybe not)…It then becomes clear that you weren’t actually hanging out with Sarah Silverman and Samuel Jackson…and a unicorn…in Japan…. on a rainbow. Yeah

I say this because often my more exciting memories probably aren’t true…or not entirely true anyway. You know that whole thing about “There‘s three sides to every story, your version, their version and the truth”?… I’ve always loved that. I love hearing somebody retell something that just happened and how each time they tell it its more exaggerated. Sometimes its obvious that they are lying for dramatic effect and sometimes its clear that they really do believe that something happened…like once I REALLY genuinely thought I saw Jack Nicolson at Club 77 and tried to find him again and this guy was like “Look either your lying or you‘re fucking stupid”…I think I was just super drunk…but anyway.
I’ve always loved that as a film technique though, showing a situation from different characters point of view and how much our sense of reality can vary.
Something happened when I was 5 that my friend Mel and I recall so clearly, so I know it happened because we’ve talked about it BUT nobody else recalls.
We decided it would be funny to draw a giant X in my yard and tell my younger brother, Zac and her younger sister, Kara that there was buried treasure. They dug a hole in the yard trying to find the treasure at which point my Auntie Sandra who was taking care of us that day, came out and saw it then Mel and I get in trouble for making them do it…and we had to sit in the ‘poo corner’ which was like the naughty corner…there wasn’t actual poo there. It was a name that my parents got from my preschool. Anyway, my Mum and Dad do not recall anyone digging a hole in the yard, nor do Auntie Sandra or either of our siblings…but we know it happened.

Here are some other things that I remember(in all their vagueness):
-I know I have mentioned it before but one thing I remember is my first ever crush and even though I have still never learnt his name and it’s all kinds of political incorrectness to refer to him as “the black boy from the kids tv show ‘Lift off’ ….”…. I just did. I remember not really understanding the concept of ‘acting’ and just feeling like he was my friend…trapped in a tv screen…who only visited at 9 am on weekdays. If anyone knows him, tell him to give me a call but leave out the part where I referred to him as “the black boy”

-I remember Barbie dolls and how when I got to a certain age, my friends and I would pretend that we didn’t play with them anymore …but then still would secretly in pairs…. It was like this underground club that we all knew about but weren’t supposed to talk about… The first rule of Barbie club is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT BARBIE CLUB…THE SECOND RULE OF BARBIE CLUB IS YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT BARBIE CLUB… I remember pretending that the wooden ladder on my bunk beds were apartments for the barbies… then I used to make them have sex with each other but in those days I thought that sex was just two people being in their underwear next to each other so I’d make Barbie and Ken be in the same apartment in their plastic undies…WHAT A PERVE.

-I remember how I stole a plastic ring once from BIG W and my mum got mad.
I remember that I stole another ring from this girl who was staying with neighbours of ours then I said to Mum “I‘m going outside to look for jewellery in the garden”…and I pretended that I found it in our yard and Mum made me take it back… I don’t know what tipped her off…that plan sounds pretty flawless…
I also used to try and claim rings that were found at my primary school…
I was pretty into stealing rings apparently…I think the obsession stopped around grade 2...mostly because I am a shocking liar and always had to end up giving them back.

-I remember never really getting sick much as a child…well I got the chicken pox but I was never sick like I am now with a new kind of cold each week. I remember that my brother and I both lied once about being sick on the same day to get out of school…only he was smart enough to come up with an actual illness and I just said “I‘m sick”. So my parents made us do jobs around the house to ensure that we had a horrible day off and wouldn’t lie about being sick anymore.

-There is a story that my family still joke about and a catchphrase that I’ve earned, called “I‘ll get the drinks”. Its origin is derived from the time we had to clean the cubby house and I split the tasks between my brother and sister…you dust…you sweep…and me? …I’ll get the drinks…at which point I disappeared for an extended period of time and eventually returned with only one drink…for me then said something along the lines of “Oh sorry did you want some too?”…then disappeared again.

-I do not remember a lot from preschool except that they always gave us devon on our sandwiches…no not the 90’s heartthrob Devon Sawa who starred in Casper…but that crap manufactured meat that when I eat now still reminds me of preschool.
I also have a hilarious group portrait that my parents paid good money for where I can easily be identified and the girl in the polka dot dress…pulling a monkey face.

So to sum up I was a lying, sly, ring stealing child, who was also a bit of a perve and told lies both to get out of doing things and because I thought it was funny to mess with people…(the pointless lying bit is still the same and I am still terrible at it but it does not deter me from trying…no matter how many times people tell me to leave them alone when I try to convince them that I read that Taylor Swift is a lesbian or that my dog was in a Kmart add) and now karma has caught up with me and I get the flu much more often than I did back then…oh yeah and I ate devon.

Flirting

Flirting is something that’s never really come easily to me.
I seem to get constantly hit on by people when I feel like I am doing everything in my power to show them I’m uninterested …yet struggle to get noticed by anyone that I am actually interested in…I’ve contemplated reversing my tactics…like completely ignoring the person I am crushing on or punching them in the face…and then dancing and using pickup lines on guys that I want to leave me alone…sadly I don’t feel this will help.
Friends that spend even a little time with me can most likely attest to the fact that I rarely get attention from anyone I am interested in but am absolutely flooded with invites from the biggest freaks in a who’s who of Ugglyville….


READING SIGNALS
Well once I was walking up the stairs to a club with Jaz and this guy said “You’re beautiful. I want to stick my tongue down your throat”
…then when I said “no thankyou” he called us lesbians
…because THAT clearly was the only logical explanation…not the fact that he smelt like beer, looked disgusting and just tried to pick me up with an incredibly sleazy line…yes I MUST be a lesbian for turning down an offer like that from a stud like yourself….Oh and I'm sure that the much more attractive and nice smelling guy that I went home with agreed with you “total lesbo”…
…the thing is, usually when I don’t like somebody, they are the kind of person that makes abrupt comments like this…but when I am into somebody I am terrible at reading signals….I either read too much into something and make a fool of myself( Please refer to my blog titled: ‘dating’ and the part with the boy who honestly said “no thankyou” when I tried to lean in for a pash…) OR I totally miss when feelings are reciprocated… and then I run into my dream boy 2 years later when he’s happily engaged and he says something like “You know I always liked you but you never seemed interested”…What did I have to do? Lick your face?


ATTEMPTED FLIRTING
It doesn’t really make sense to me how liking somebody often means that its hard to be yourself because the said person can make you that nervous that you forget how to use words.
On a rare occasion a little while ago, a seemingly sane and ridiculously handsome guy struck up conversation with me when he noticed my work shirt and he asked me what the café was like, because he’d heard good things. This is how it went down: I laughed awkwardly…even though there was nothing funny about what he had said. I then blurted out something about white chocolate and how its good as a hot drink…then I sniffed my Vicks inhaler…Yeah…I seriously don’t know…but the conversation died about there….needless to say I don’t think he will be visiting me at work anytime soon.
When I was in my teens I used to honestly try to flirt but the only way I knew how to do that was to straight out say what I was thinking…so “I like you, wanna bone?”…or something to that effect…the subtle hair tossing and all that shit was just lost on me. Nope, I wanted straight to the point.
Eventually when I decided that I didn’t want to end up with Chlamydia, I decided to be a little more tactful and try to get to know people a bit…or something?…and still no hair tossing…I shaved my head for cancer when I was 17 and its never made it back to shoulder length/hair tossing length,


MISTAKEN FLIRTING
…the thing is that while I suck at intentionally flirting I have actually been told that I have a “flirtatious personality”…so basically when I am not trying to bang somebody, they think I am because I giggle and ask a lot of questions…that is me curious…and giggly…but when I am trying to bed somebody…I go back to social retard that forgets how to form sentences. Nice right?
Also on the off chance that I do fall for a person that I can hold a conversation with (and its SO rare) ...this case of the “flirtatious personality” still proves to be a road block because if I am giggly and talkative with everyone…how can I turn it up a notch to show this particular person that I want to act out scenes from Siena Miller films with them? (referring to all the ones where she gets naked…which is a few)
Basically, when I think I am just being polite and friendly…people think I wanna take ’em home and show them a good time…and anybody I like thinks I am uninterested…. And a little bit odd
SO my proposal is that flirting is annoying and I think if you like somebody you should just tell ‘em straight out “I wanna bone ya”. ...and if they say 'no' just call 'em a lesbo...or a hetero...depending on your sexual orientation. (HELLO LADIES)
Thankyou and good night

Sex and why I‘m not getting it: aka: Jaz got to choose the topic this week (Preview of my half of the joint Sunday blog with Jaz)

Jaz got to pick the topic this week and she went with sex.
Let me start by saying that this would not have been my first choice. Here are a list of things that I would rather talk about than sex:
Shoes
Fat people that cry about being fat
Burgers
Floral print dresses
Floral print anything
Tina Feyy
Why Arrested Development should have stayed on tv…forever
Why Two And A Half men should be taken off the air…immediately
Five chewing gum
I don’t feel I’m all that qualified to talk about sex these days. There was a time, in my roaring teens where I seemed to want it a lot and never had any trouble getting it.
Then I think my twenties hit and now when I look at a guy that I find attractive I don’t really think “Man I want to take him home and screw his brains out”…I kind of go “I wouldn‘t mind halving a KFC bucket with him while watching episodes of Arrested Development”…and no KFC bucket isn’t a euphemism of any kind and I don’t mean watching some fucked up dominatrix hard core porn version of Arrested development …I mean the classic Tv Show starring David Cross, Micheal Cera and Jason Bateman…but I digress as this weeks topic is not about Australian treasure, Portia De Rosis best ever work… or the contradiction of eating a lot of greasy food while watching somebody who suffered from a serious eating disorder on screen. Alas no…this blog is about sex.
I don’t mean to say that I dislike sex or that I am even indifferent to it but unless I’m really into someone these days, they don’t get ‘into’ me… yeah good one Michaela GOOD ONE.
Basically my days of one night stands seem to be a thing of the past which isn’t really something I expected to say at the age of 23. In a way I do hope that this changes when I eventually hit Europe and start travelling around. Maybe I will join the Mile-High-club and find my inner sex goddess.
There are a few contributing factors as to how Michaela lost her groove: (totally refered to myself in third person DEAL WITH IT)
The first being that my ass does not look anywhere near as good as it did when I was 19.
Once upon I time I used to look in the mirror and be like “Yeah I‘m hot” … I don’t really do that these days… If I am ever naked in front of a mirror now I generally do things like tilt my back slightly and pretend I am pregnant with Zach Braffs child or try to make it look like my tummy is singing various 90’s pop hits….I know right? How am I not fighting the guys off with a stick?…
The next thing is my social life has changed a lot also from my teens. I don’t drink as often now as I once did. Where a night used to begin at 11 or Midnight…that’s now about the time that I want to be safe in bed watching Will and Grace. This messes with things for a couple of reasons.
1. In order to be home in bed watching bad tv before the early morn, one must either
a)stay fairly close to home
or b)be prepared to catch a cab or night rider.
Staying close to home means that I generally just see a lot of the same people so unless I just want to start banging all my friends then there just is not a huge range of other people to chose from.
2. Not being drunk enough means that my standards have not yet dropped low enough to go home with the kinds of guys that hit on me (Please refer to our People in public blog… or really anything that I have ever written to fully understand the kind of freaks that I attract)… on the other hand the dudes that are out of my league are AT LEAST 10 beers away from settling for me ...see my dilemma? Once alcohol is out of the equation, sex just becomes so complicated.
My whole attitude toward sex has also changed a lot, after helping host some workshops educating teenage girls about safe sex, I really began to question whether I was practicing what I preached and it did concern me a little. WOAH DID IT GET ORPRAH IN HERE OR WHAT?
So as I am saying these things to these high school students, alarms are going off in my head…well more that noise that you hear in a game show when a contestant gets the answer wrong
Always use protection ladies…babow
Never go home with someone you’ve just met…babow
Don’t get too drunk as you may make decisions that you regret…babow… you are the weakest link goodbye.
When I think about the carelessness of my teens, I am lucky that sex for me has never led to Chlamydia… or being murdered wolf creek style because I went home with some guy I’d just met because I thought he vaguely resembled a young Rob Lowe in soft lighting.
I’ve kind of gone through all my awful sex stories in my own blog (and lets face it they are the ones worth hearing about) but I will give you the highlights:
-I once told a guy during sex that I wanted to stop seeing him and then just left without finishing the job….we have never spoken again
-A guy once seduced me then cried when we were about to do it because he missed his ex… so not an aphrodisiac. Also to make it worse he bragged about fucking me to everyone but left out the bit where he cried so I made sure I told anyone who had heard anything through the grapevine and asked me about it.
-I must have really liked this boy/we were both young and inexperienced and we got a bit carried away and fell off the couch…there were some minor injuries
-I was once really drunk and for no reason at all decided that the dude I was with (and had been seeing for a while) had an STI…and I punched him in the stomach… I repeat: for.no.reason.at.all, he wasn’t sick, everything (ahem) down there was in good health …Wow I’d kind of forgotten about that one… Its cool though once I sobered up we were able to laugh about it and eventually go on to have punch free sex.

New years eve hype

It’s the beginning of December…which means that people have already been going on about New years Eve Plans since April…pretty much.
I am a slight hater of New years Eve for the fact that it just has such high expectations placed on it which seems kind of silly to me….
The earth is starting a new cycle, lets have a party and expect everything to be better on this new cycle.
I know better though. I have my own monthly cycle and let me tell you that they do not improve…although between you, me and the internet: I do manage to prolong the effects for taking the pill way longer than you’re meant to…but then I inevitably still get my period and its still as awful as it was last time so yeah if you want to compare the new year to pissing blood (which I am going to) then next year is going to be as bleak as this year should you have no intention of changing your ways… also yeah maybe don’t take the pill for an extended amount of time…oh and Nurofen plus is very effective and this metaphor is pretty weak so Imma move on.


The first thing is that to me New years is just a night like any other and while I enjoy a good party as much as the next person I find that the best New years I’ve had were the low key ones.
Last year/this year was fun for me even though all I did was have a couple of friends over and we played scrabble and Singstar while my neighbours let off fireworks and yelled out “No!” when we asked them to set off more then we all laughed and played more scrabble. I’m pretty easily amused.
When I was living in Melbourne we had a ridiculously hot new years at my old place where we stripped down to our undies and danced…I’m pretty sure that I passed out before the fireworks that year but I also had a great time none the less…yet I’ve spent quite a few other years before and in between stressing over which party we should go to and then being disappointed because the parties we expected to be ragin’ turned out to be lame….
I don’t know what we were really hoping for but we never seemed to get it…and that’s what I want to say to people. If a party promises fairy floss, celebrities, your favourite band, a gigantic jumping castle, huge waterslide and a bubble machine…THAT is something to get really excited about but most new-years parties just end up being a bunch of drunk people talking and maybe AT BEST a bit of 90’s music…which is an ok night…but its hardly going to be the night of the year…if it is then that’s kind of a lame year.


As far as New years resolutions go, I think they are hilarious because I do not know a single person that sticks to them and I laugh soooo hard every year when people say shit like “New year new me. Bring on the New year!”…yeah right buddy….GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. 5 bucks says you’re gym membership is going to go unused and then you spend the money that you were saving for that something something exhibition (that you didn’t really want to see any way but thought you should so you appear cultured) on 1million cupcakes that you devour while watching reality tv that you can actually feel is making you dumber … oh and your no drinking idea wont last beyond an week and then one night when you’re drunk you’ll think ‘fuck 2012 the year of the vegan’…and you’ll eat a giant bit of bacon…then a steak…then a chicken wing…then vomit… which is all good because you fucking love not working out, eating cupcakes, shit tv, drinking , bacon, steak, chicken wings and a good vomit…
And that’s what life is about and frankly I hope my New years Eve is exactly like that.

My new blog with my pal Jaz

Hey friends. I've started a new blog with my friend Jaz, we are updating it weekly

The 5 most frequent and annoying things people post on Facebook

So I log into my email. I have about 6014 unread messages…most of which I’ve left unread for over a year…not anything important…they are predominantly from a bunch of stupid things I sign up to when I’m suffering from insomnia and think that a free samples will cure me…


…I accidentally confused the re: from some fortune teller as being an email from eBay because it was right above it and the header is “Do you really want to face these hard times alone?” I’m all ‘THAT’S A LITTLE PERSONAL EBAY’… then I look around to see if eBay can see me eating a chocolate biscuit…in bed…alone….staring at my tummy…is eBay psychic?…no its just some actual psychic lady named Tara who claims she will solve all my life problems…I think I will have better luck on eBay purchasing a new dvd to accompany my junk food.

I then stop myself because I am meant to be saving for Europe..I have to find another way to be entertained….Facebook is clearly the logical choice…but I feel like I’m stuck on yesterdays news feed…I check my computer to make sure this is not another eBay/psychic oversight…and it isn’t.

Why is it that I think I’ve time travelled back to yesterday in internet world you say?…well I’m glad you asked…PEOPLE JUST KEEP TALKING THE SAME SHIT.

Topics that come up daily without fail:



WEATHER:

Guaranteed every.single.day 10+ people feel the need to comment on the weather like its breaking news… which is cool if they have something entertaining to say AHEM examples of this would be HOW HOT IS IT jokes eg: “Its so hot HOW HOT IS IT?…it‘s so hot that today I poured Mcdonalds cofee into my lap to cool down”...classic ALWAYS FUNNY…Not interesting however is “OMG so hot”…yes? 90% of your friends live in the same city as you and they are all living it too…call me when there’s a tornado or a punch line



SONG LYRICS:

I like songs. I like to sing them randomly and loudly…I like to listen to them but every couple of weeks a new song gets too popular for its own good and obviously somehow resinates with a whole bunch of people and they all feel like they have to quote that one line and it turns up everywhere but still the people posting it don’t think “Hmm maybe enough people have written ‘now you’re just somebody that I used to know’ as their status update, maybe I can just accept that it’s a good song and go and listen to it instead of being the 4 billionth person on earth to post it”



LOADS OF BRAGGING ABOUT THINGS NOT WORTH BRAGGING ABOUT, WITH LOADS OF UNNECESSARY COMMAS IN BETWEEN

“drinking, dancing, vomiting, late night taxis, hungry jacks at 3pm …can‘t wait to do it all again next weekend”

I know what your thinking…pretty accurate portrayal of the shit you see people write…



BACKDOOR BRAGGING

“Oh man I’m playing this show tonight at this hip bar with one of the biggest bands in the country but I’m just so nonchalant about it because I am really tired from all the after parties I’ve been going to lately and all the sex I’ve been having with supermodels”…No you are not. Things are going pretty well for you and your psyched. I would be psyched too if I was banging loads of hotties and playing great shows…unlike the aforementioned unnecessary brag THIS sounds like something worth talking about…it’s ok to be stoked and to want to tell everyone but its fucking annoying that you’re trying to pretend it ain’t no thang



OMG I LOVE MY BABY

I am not talking about your actual baby…If you just had a baby, congratulations, its probably pretty normal to go around showing it off for a while now that its no longer in your womb

…I’m talking about the pet name ‘baby’ for ones boyfriend or girlfriend and the annoying daily declarations of love over social networks. I’ve been in love and when you are you do kind of want to say it all the time…but try saying it to each other instead…just a thought?…oh and if you do love your ‘baby’ so much why don’t you go makeout instead of facebooking about it…ay ay?



Here are a list of things I will never get sick of:

Links to videos of people falling down escalators (particularly escalators that are going up)

Pictures of hot girls

Mean girls quotes

Angry rants

Pictures of dogs
