Writing has been tough the past couple of months. I've already written two pretty depressing entries but don't worry...this is not a third. Or at least, I set out at 1:00 a.m. this morning to make it cheery. We'll see how things go.
I've just been uninspired lately. I haven't really had any major adventures (other than Kroger on Senior Tuesday), haven't passed any major milestones (I guess I did turn 28 & 1/2) and haven't made any amazing discoveries (other than I could possibly live on hot & sour soup for the rest of my life if I needed to because it is my new FAVORITE. And we all know how I hate all-caps.)
I've started and scrapped several blog entries over the past few weeks. Below is a comprehensive list (maybe not completely comprehensive...I get the distinct feeling I started a blog entry in a wine haze after too many glasses of Lonely Cow after a dinner) but it's the best you're going to get.
Live-Blogging the MTV movie awards: At this point, why bother posting? You're over it, I'm over it, and the only thing that isn't over it is Miley Cyrus's tongue. One of the best parts of the show was the Beyonce Pepsi commercial (yes, a repeat, I know. The show was that bad.), the NSYNC reunion was way too brief but I don't think 4/5's of the guys could have gone on much longer, I'm even more excited to see JT in November than I already was, and I think the show was in Brooklyn but I'm not positive because they didn't say where it was located enough. Done. You're welcome for that summary.
My Thoughts On the Current State of Traffic in Nashville: Spoiler alert - it's turrible. I think the source of my ire comes from the fact that school has started back up, thus adding 20 minutes to my commute each morning. I did get some satisfaction this morning when a motorcycle cop pulled over the jackass who cut from the back of the right lane waiting to merge on I-40 all the way to the left lane in front of me, forcing me to let her in or rear end her. He looked very mad (he was on the shoulder of the exit ramp) and waived her over angrily. I can't imagine that he could do anything but scold her and shake his finger at her, but it did give me some sort of sense of justice in the world. Bravo, cop. Bravo.
Apparently I'm Really Good At Coming Up With Insults: My co-worker/friend/sorority sister has brought out this new-found talent within me. She'll usually ask me, "Okay, so this person isn't quite a (really bad name) but (mediocre bad name) doesn't do him/her justice. What's in between?" She's asked me this two times and both times I have come up with a satisfactory answer. I won't write on here what I say because I know once it's on the interwebs it never goes away, and I don't want my future litter of children to find this on their holographic 3D super speed computers and ask why mommy was allowed to say bad things if they weren't. My biggest fear is that my kid's first word will be 'fuck.' Who am I kidding...I'll laugh. Let's be honest. But I'll try to do so out of earshot of my children. And I'll probably blame it on their daddy.
How Excited I Am To Watch Sports I Care About Again: But really, who isn't excited that football is back and basketball is vastly approaching? This would be completely uninteresting and therefore, I did not get past the first sentence.
The Art of Personal Space: I have a big thing about personal space. I live in a very small bubble and not everyone is invited to invade said bubble. I can't stand hover-ers at work, who will stand in front of you until acknowledged, even if you're on the phone and I can't stand to be hugged unless I know you and at least one dirty secret about you. But this is turning into a negative entry and I'm trying not to do that. Remember, 'Choose Joy' and all that...I got it tattooed on my body for a reason...listen to your tattoo!
Thos are the few I can remember and could write something witty about. Lots of entries didn't even make it past the first line. I hope you enjoyed my (attempted) return at my normal style of blogging. Hopefully I'll have more of my wisdom (opinions) to contribute to the world soon.
Love & Light
