~~~SANDBOX 77~~~

this song came up on random and i'm basically sitting here crying

what the hell is wrong with me

no shame in weakerthans tears! <3

Oh mookiep- I'm sorry you're feeling low.

We care about you, Mookie.

That song gets me, too. xoxo

-in bed getting warm under the covers, snuggling up with doggies*, half or three-quarters or whatever drunk, smoking an e-cig, reading SandILX.

*The bed in this room is a single, so my husband has been sleeping on a pile of blankets and sheets and dog beds on the floor in the TV room. My brother-in-law gave us his old mattress, so we should be sleeping together again tomorrow night. Yay!

You may remember I posted about a nu metal looking dude in my apartment complex who was yelling "I WANT TO PUT MY DICK IN YOU" over a Smiths song. Today I took my dog out at 6:48 a.m. and he was in a different apartment, door open, no inflatable penguin this time, yelling "I WANT TO PUT MY DICK IN YOU, IT'S THE SAFETY DANCE" over "Safety Dance," which was playing pretty loudly. A woman was saying "fuck you" in a lot of different colorful ways, like "fuck you with a fork" and "fuck you with a rusty pipe." What the fuck??

not uplifting

i ended up telling that story to someone bc i thought it was so funny, & it ended up additionally complicated by the added layers of it being my remembrance of the story, of it being from ilx/the internet, of me having to aloud rather than in text pronounce the guy's alternate lyrics, etc.

the apartment roulette is such an interesting extra dimension. i feel like there is more room in this example of it for it being those guys' crazy inside joke, but wasn't he alone last time? harrowingly alone?

alone except for the inflatable penguin
there was a crying child in the apartment this time, too

Hahha... is it ok to yell "I wanna put my dick in you" around a baby?

ask a finn board

there was a crying child in the apartment this time, too

it shouldn't be funny, but that is hilarious

after being sick for 3 days and not being sick for 2 days I am again sick

except that being 'sick' just means 'really fatigued despite sleeping 9 hours, also some sniffles'

either go hard to go home, cold virus! smh

- the auld fella's home from the states for three weeks.

- i give it two days, but for now it's v pleasant

jeez do i ever need a secret board atm

- i think i am going to go to staples later today
- you think it's easy, but you're wrong

that's a great trip. sunday at staples. just bought some pads there. their 'impulse purchase corridor' section along the queue for the counter is a strange assemblage though

yvot, what did you go to Staples for? I love office supply stores.

I was trying to watch read that while watching TV and it wasn't making sense b/c I kept wondering if there were actually such things as Cheetos-branded Post-Its candy Sharpies.

at staples anything can happen

As part of some changes at my office, I was going to be relieved of the task of ordering office supplies, but I held onto it b/c it's a fun and easy chore. Plus I have authority to order pretty much anything I want , so we're always getting fun stuff. Pre-hole-punched paper is the best thing ever invented.

this guy has been yelling at his wife through the window of her car for like half an hour now. they are double parked outside my window.

"i have not prostated myself enough for you, Janel?!"

sometimes when i hear people arguing i want to join in, it stems from growing up in a large catholic family where any small disagreement could erupt into an exhilirating free for all.

*exhilarating

haha - your family sounds fun!

I feel like yelling out the window, "Dump his ass, Janel!"

either Janel must be very patient and forgiving, or she must feel horribly guilty and is perhaps a more aggravating person than her vituperative spouse

i recognise the situation but not the sentiment

i'm far more with you than not, i completely refuse to join in on the family ones these days, but overheard trouble is still alluring to me.

other people's arguments are great fun, i can always think of snappy comebacks for them but am never sure would that type of coaching be appreciated or not

i think you are sure really.

-grabbed the handle of a pan that had just been in the oven 5 minutes ago

-fuuuuuuuuuck

Ahhhh that is the worst! Actually, the worst is taking a hit pan out of the oven, not telling Jeff, and then he grabs the handle. Guilt!!!

Anyway, protip: drape a hot pad over the handle as a note to self/others that it's hot. Also I hope you are okay!

yeah it was for less than a second, no blisters and only mild lingering pain atm - thanks for the concern tho!

Okay, good.

One time I picked up a hot pan off the dinner table and then yelled at my mom for not telling me it just came out of the oven. The next night everything on the table – serving bowls, pots and pans, glasses, plates – had a post-it note with her handwriting on it indicating its temperature:
HOT
COLD
LUKEWARM
ROOM TEMPERATURE

hahaha

need a "Mom Zings" thread

My mom is the zing master.

lol

my dad has announced that he's thinking of changing his marital status next year, just all casual like

Haha.

Tonight I was making a grilled sandwich in a cast iron skillet and I stepped away from it to get the Blu Ray player warmed up(Netflix streamin takes forever to load) and got sucked into fixing a problem with the ethernet cable.

Later I was reading some article online when the smoke alarm starting bleeting. When I looked up, the kitchen and living room were thick with smoke and my sandwich was charcoal. And it was hard to find the fucking smoke detector. It is tucked behind a light fixture outside the bathroom.

"haha" is an xp re the zings, obviously!

- had to choose between The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant and Frankenhooker on TV
- wd probly have been better off with Frankenhooker all things considered

frankenhooker looked awesome but i was votoed h8 these fuckers so much

bet jjjusten has seen it

i've seen it! but not for a long time. it's great, like all of Frank Henenlotter's movies

well i mean how could it not be, i read the synopsis

begins with a fatal lawnmower accident iirc

I meant to say that the reason I smell the burning sandwich that filled the room I was in with smoke for like 5 minutes was that I have no sense of smell.

Wanted to clear up that hole. Thx.
