please carrie me away

So random!
Gage posted this video and I don't usually listen to/watch videos posted in blogs (is that weird?), anyway, but so this song in this video is something that my mum used to sing to me when I was small and I found it to be hysterically funny and I sang it all through elementary school and high-school (where I was known for being obnoxious and nutso so it was totally fitting).
But I had never actually heard the song until just now. Funny!

Yeah, I'm alive, I'm around. I'm planning on a better entry for you momentarily.
I can't seem to stop going out on the town, I can't seem to stop socializing, I can't seem to stop my brain from yelling,
"SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER BEST FRIENDS IN THE SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER BABES IN THE SUMMER ON BIKES AND BABES IN THE PARK AND SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER PARK PARK PARK PARK GIN GIN GIN SUMMER LEMONADE BABES BABES PATIO PATIO PATIO DRESSES AND SANDALS SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER"

and so I haven't really been around to do much blogging but I have been taking a billion photos (camera is mostly working again!) so, soon, hopefully!


I do kinda want to see this. Haha, though there's a couple moments in the trailer even which showcase why I get super annoyed by a couple of members of that gang.
I still find it all a bit appealing...



Oh yeah, went to see this last night with Raymi (thanks for taking me!!!) and we got gift bags plus I won another huge giftbag from jumping up and shouting the answer to the trivia.
Giftbag filled FILLED up with Nair products and Trojan condoms.
I cannot even tell you how little interest I have in hair removal. Who wants some Nair???

The answer that I shouted out was "Postage stamps", I feel like you could guess the question just by knowing that answer if you were a superfan.
I'm not even a superfan, but I did watch most of the series.

Was the movie good?
NO OF COURSE IT WASN'T. OBVIOUSLY.
Was it slightly enjoyable? Sure.
It was also offensively bad in some ways especially in the way that it pretends to be a bit feminist but really it's quite the opposite. Plus the heart-string tugging is brutal. Plus if Carrie sighed around any more then she'd probably pass out from not breathing properly.

I reenacted one of the climactic (notthatway) scenes for Accost in the park at 1 in the morning last night.
She said it was better than seeing the movie, so if you want just ask me and I'll tell you the whole show.

Does anyone else find the fact that Big has a name a little weird? Especially since it's "John"?

Also, the show was good (or at least started out good). Good in a way that is completely missing from both movies.
Oh yeah, also I watched the first movie yesterday afternoon because I hadn't seen it and I wanted to be in the loop for the screening.

Okay who wants to try out this multi-pack of condoms I got??

flack follow up

a) I say words weird sometimes. That's what I do. I'm an idiot with weird speech patterns. I'm sorry that it sounded like heggling when it was supposed to sound like haggling. Sometimes I say beg instead of bag as well!
I'm sorry that it killed your boner, anonymous commentator. I was trying so hard to keep you hard...

b) I meant for that video to not be about much, just to be a bit funny. Classic fail.

c) I said that I didn't disagree with that he should pay, I didn't say that I agreed or that it was a criteria of mine, only that I could see a bit of a rationale in some respects/situations.

d) I'm kind of going to agree with the comment that says whoever did the asking on the date should be the first to offer to pay... Now that I think of it, I guess I was envisioning a situation where I'd be pursued and wooed and taken out on the town.
Although, I don't think that's ever happened to anyone I know. At least not by someone dreamy.

e) I guess mostly I feel like the guy should offer to pay because I'll offer to pay. And whoever ends up winning this little mock-argument , then, whatever, still shows that both parties are interested in the situation, in the company, in the care-taking.

f) SOLUTION: all dates must now have 2 parts in order that both people can treat each other. PERFECT. I will pay for drinks, you pay for the lap-dances we will get at the club. Thanks.

g) I'm certain that I have paid for first dates in the past and I honestly cannot remember who payed for what in any good dating situation I've been in. I wish I could so I could reference it, but I don't even know.

h) wow, I thought my joke about IUDs would go completely unnoticed, apparently not... EVERYONE needs to know more about birth control and also STIs. For certain.
I cannot believe that there is still information I'm learning about both of those things. And I thought I was well informed... I will say, in my experience (only my experience, not in the whole history of man), I've known more about these things than my partners.

i) UGH NOW I AM SPLITTING DATES 50/50 ALL THE TIME FOREVER JUST TO NEVER HAVE TO DISCUSS THIS. I am never buying you anything so shut up.

j) I feel shitty about this video. I don't know how people deal with feeling so shitty about things like this all the time. I've had that sick feeling in my belly all day like I've done something wrong. I know I shouldn't be very worried about it, but I can't shake that feeling.


Yeah, I enabled comment moderation today. After last year's little incident with a pretty terrible blog troll I am even more worried/nervous/over-reactive about every sort of comment.


I am hyper-critical of everyone all the time and I'll be the first to say that I can dish it out but definitely can't take it.


Blogging is such an odd sport, it's one of the few places where people give you constant feedback as to what they're thinking about what you're doing.
And in the beginning it's virtually (ha) all your friends and so it's all positive and nice and it makes you want to keep going. But once you've attracted strangers then the floodgates are open to people who misinterpret what you are meaning, to people who dislike you based on looks, to people who do not have your sense of humour, to people who want to make sure you know which ways you are ugly, to people who are annoyed with you... and they can say whatever they'd like, with no consequences, with no counter-attack, without posting their thoughts for you to ciritque equally.


Even as a famous celebrity, you can choose not to read the tabloids, you can not read reviews, you can keep yourself in a bubble, to some degree at least.
As a blogger or as someone who posts their work online you are at the mercy of ANONYMOUS commentators who can be as mean as they'd like without regard to anything.

Now, obviously in some ways this is good. It's good to know that not everyone loves you and not everyone thinks you're great (man, do I know this...).
If the negative feedback is constructive, then I am all for it.

The internet is a strange, strange land.

Hell, when did it get to be 3:30 in the morning? I meant to be in bed by 2!

Tomorrow I'll go back to posting pictures of Dollface and writing about party-all-the-time or something equally as benign.

Like maybe about how I just saw this picture of a tattoo of snowflakes!



And now I really really want a similar (and much smaller and differently placed) tattoo right now!
(yes, I totally stole this off a friend-of-a-friend's FB... thanks blog-reader who will now see this and think I am odd!!)
