this post is not at all meant to make fun of anyone's misfortune, it's not really about that at all.
it's about how my sick sense of humor (because i made no effort to correct this misinterpretation at all) and my normal way of talking to a co-worker has made several of our brand-spanking-new work study students think i am a ridiculously heartless girlfriend. (and i'm not even anyone's girlfriend.
)
this is the overheard conversation...
him-"well, what are you doing here? you should be there."
me- "don't think i didn't consider it, but it's Augusta."
him- "yeah, why Augusta?. i was wondering"
me- "it's supposed to be the best burn center in the state. plus it's closer to the scene of the accident. i hate Augusta, it's so boring. "
him- "Cat, he's got severe burns over like half of his body, he's not worrying about the social possibilities."
me- "i know, but's it's so boring there."
him "if you really loved him you would be there, even if it was Augusta."
me "hopefully, he will survive, even if i don't go visit him."

-i just bought publix brand facial tissue over a name brand on sale because there was a glaring usage error on the tissue box. (the publix ones were still a few cents cheaper, but less fluffy. i knew that i would be annoyed by that box every time i looked at it.) : mad:
- two other pedestrians and i almost just got run over in a crosswalk, when we had the walk sign by a Marta mobility (aka handicapped/assisted shuttle) bus.
-i love my doctor (Hello, Dr Nick!) because he doesn't waste time and mess around, he gets the job done yet is personable at the same time. yesterday he joked that i had to sign for the otc antisitamines that he suggested so that "you couldn't brew crystal meth in your backyard. oh, wait this is your backyard." (my doc's office shares a parking lot with my apartment complex, and Dr Nick's office is indeed less than 100 feet behind my little basement apt door.) then five minutes later he mentions to take it easy on the cough medicine he is prescribing because it's narcotic strength. (as some one who has been know to toss back the tussin when i have a cold so that at least if i feel miserable i can feel floaty and miserable, this made me happy. ) and all this from a guy who notices and my frequent hair color changes and likes my tattoos.
-i am loving Google Chrome for the most part (it's fast!) but there are some glitches. (the known issue affecting it not loading g-mail is hysterical) and if it annoys me that when you try to copy and paste emoticons on SG (i tend to type a whole passage and then go back and add emoticons) it never copies the punctuation so i need to go back and add the colons and parentheses manually. weird.
-has anyone ever used the advair inhaler? i used it for the first time today and it's a bit freaky. (i don't have asthma, it was prescribed to me for allergy-related breathing issues, so i have not had much inhaler experience at all.
-eating Mayfield Birthday Cake Ice Cream out of my Charles Manson bowl is almost as good as ice cream cake. (i actually said "Score!" out loud at Publix when i discovered that it came in the half gallon size, much to the amusement of a gay couple next to me.)
- i got the coolest necklace on e-bay the other day, i will post a pic when i get around to wearing it.
-i think i need to get me and my freshly greenified hair out of the house this weekend.

my one track mind...
apparently i have a bit of a one track mind these days.
(but it's not what you pervs are thinking)
the last post was a Social D. song that i had heard but never really listened to before.
it came on when i was at brunch at the bar on aug 17th and i started listening to the words. i got up to go find out the name of the song so that i could listen to it again at home later. i asked the bartender what the song was. he went to go look. (when the jukebox is not running, it switches to sattelite radio) j. chimes in with 'it sounds like Social Distortion.' my reply 'i knew that captain obvious, that is why i asked what song it was, not who it was.'
part of my brain hasn't really changed the track yet. in all the craziness at work, i have had all of the following songs get stuck in my head regularly lately. (we have retail satelite at work so we hear the same shit over and over ad nauseum)
(anyone, sense a theme? )
i will admit, i am not even sure i really like it. i had no idea who it was until i thought of posting this journal, but it's really fucking catchy in the right frame of mind.
another song i was blissfully unaware of until my brain got stuck in this groove. i knew it was Gavin but had no idea he had a solo album out. (TRe, would i like it? you know my taste in solo albums well.)
apparently Gavin is a douchebubble who doesn't want anyone to actually share his video with others, fuck him and feed him grits. if you care the song is 'love remains the same'
i posted the commercial because the damn swiffer sweeper is the reason this Hall and Oates song gets stuck in my head regularly these days.
i know that this is a cover (killers) but i think this version does the original justicce and this girl knows that there are definitely times in ones life when you don't break out the Joy Division.
to all you 'music industry' types out there. in some ways i can see why you 'disable' the use of your artists actual video. but it just means that instead of posting what was actually a visually stimulating video for the killers cover, i am posting someone's stupid homemade video because i want to post the song and you blocked your artists artistic version. sucks for them.
eels keep me alive when i am in a funk like this.
-and i am quite sure it doesn't help that my alarm has woke me up with this for more than a week. (i love my i-pod alarm clock dock soooooo much. how else could i wake up to charlie on a semi-regular basis? )
and ...
and this one has been pulling my heartstrings as well.
like them or not, it's the theme of my psyche these days.
i am heartbroken, it sucks, i hate to fail at anything i try at.
i will live, i always do.
in lighter news, i think my sock monkey Clyde is trying to kill me.
i keep waking up with scratches on me despite the fact that my nails are short and smooth.
they are always 2 side by side scratches.
maybe i should tie Clyde's limbs in knots before i go to bed tonight.
anyway, sorry for my absense, or incoherence these days, getting up at 5:30am and working weekends for long stretches of time does not agree with me. (i get crazier and weirder the longer it goes on...)
i really, really, really want to go to Vegas for x-mas. i need to work on that.
i hope you cats and kittens are doing well.
'holla at your boy'

this whole post appears to me in bold. it is not. if it appears to you all in bold, it is because SG is being wonky and it means you miss my italics. oh well. i miss the days when this site used to work better.
SGECCT 2008
the trip was fucking awesome.
i will only be touching on the awesome here since honestly i think if all 95 of us wrote about it in our journals we would still only be touching the tip of the awesome iceberg.
the SGATLiens left ATL on wednesday evening to caravan to SouthernBelle's place in Charlotte.
she put the motley bunch of us up for the night which was most gracious of her so that we could leave early thursday morning.
thursday morning we left bright and early with the three car caravan.
the most interesting thing we saw on the ride was a woman who appeared to be driving solely with her ginormous breasts.
we arrived thursday afternoon with a little bit of time before it was time to greet everybody.
word of advice, don't ask the girl who doesn't drive (except in GTA) if your car is parked ok, cause she will say 'sure it is' when your car is parked like this.
thank god we had no rain or the honeymoon suite would have become a drive thru.
i toured the honeymoon suite (aka Magnolia cabin) it was adorable.
apparently the groom ( 666Irish ) got my memo about the appropriate hair (or facial hair) color to have for the trip.
we hung out and greeted for a while and then went to check out the main community area which happened to be next to where the member formerly known as Aryan had his camp set up.
no tent, just a hammock (a swank one that zipped up with mosquito netting on top).
after he showed me his huge pack of burgers, his keg of home brewed beer (an american pale ale. seriously, one of the best home brews i have ever had, if i could buy it in the store i would) and then his box full of tools i made a comment to the effect of 'jesus christ aren't you the alpha male.' and a new nickname was born.
immediately afterwards a plan was hatched for sanguine (my bestest once a year friend) and i to pee on Alpha_Male's hammock.
why?
why not. (torturing alpha males happens to be a favorite pasttime for me. )
the rest of the trip was a lot of drinking, chilling and laughing my ass off.
the bad parts were the heat, tons of bugs and swunderbreasts and swarm pits and swipples and swass crack and swighs and swabia and swaint. (it was fucking hot!)
the high points were hanging with my once a year friends, i love you guys even though we don't even talk when we aren't camping, the wedding, chilling with so many cool people, new friends and old.
special shout-outs to
my girl sanguine i wish we lived closer so we didn't have to be once a year friends.
Alpha_Male whose beer and burgers that he shared generously were greatly appreciated. he will do anything you ask as long as you ask nicely. his first turn in the hat game is one of my favorite moments from the trip.
666Irish another one of my favorite once a year friends and along with sanguine and i, a founding member of team dead hooker.
the SGATLiens, including honorary members SouthernBelle, Nyssa and Tailin.
my fellow funnelhackers, it was awesomesauce to meet two more of you in person.
i made so many new friends but especially Taz the bestest athiest minister that i ever met and fatty6969 and TheRedBaron for all around awesomeness and the hat game which i love.
i didn't wear my eyeglasses all weekend, so all of the pics with me in them look so strange to me...
i can't wait to do it all again next year.
