Random Moments

[Candleshoe]

Is it a reflection of the state of my life (or lack thereof) that I want candleshoe to tell us all about her vacation?

I blethered a bit in the happy feelings thread...i figured that was all the sickeningly-relaxed Candleshoe you could handle.

I'm too frightened of my mother to get a tattoo!

[oneyedchicklet]

Boogity, boogity, boogity...ha ha ha. Ok, I'm going insane now.

My body has stopped giving me the benefit of the doubt...I gained two pounds from Ice-cream and Fruit Loops...

Your hamster has every right to be paranoid, my friend has a pet mouse and she woke in the middle of the night to find a mouse that WASN'T hers running on the wheel.


Random: My most random thoughts happen just as I'm falling to sleep, but of course, by then I'm to tired to share them.

I had a Twilight Zone kind of moment earlier today.

On the way back from personal training at Lady Macquarie's Chair, I dropped by the local geeky comic shop (as opposed to the respectable comic shop, which looks all normal and friendly shop-like - the geeky one is the one with the stereotypical shelves and shelves of god-knows-what comics stacked roof-high, that a person might get lost in) and dug around in their back issues for old She-Hulk comics. Because I'm newly She-Hulk smitten, that's why. Anyway, I found three of the original 'Savage She-Hulk' books from 1980, and three of the 'Sensational She-Hulk' ones from about a decade later, when Shulkie has started talking directly to the writer and editor, and getting to the villain's lair by punching a hole in the page and stepping through.

Being old comic books, they're full of ads. Well, so are new ones, but they tend to be just your everyday This Playstation Game Is Awesome! ads that you'd see anywhere. These old ads are like bottled nostalgia - catalogue pages offering X-Ray glasses and hand buzzers and paper routes and live sea horses (yep), and so on.

Anyway, there was one ad in a corner of one such page featuring a not-exceptionally-covered-up woman of much hotness, offering the solution to all teenage girls who are concerned about how self-conscious they are because their body isn't very attractive: weight gain. Yep, the ad offers weight gain to make girls look hotter. "Too skinny because you don't eat right? Wate-On's calories can help you fill out, shape your entire body." ... "Users report gains of 5 - 10 - 15 pounds and more." And so on. Yes, 'Wate-On' - a history lesson for anyone who thought that really appalling spelling began on the internet.

Never mind that it was no doubt horribly bad for anyone taking it... It just gave me a real parallel-universe feel. Miracle Weight Gain Diet... If only all those skeletal early-80s girls had known that instead of just eating like normal human beings, they only had to wait a couple of decades, and horfing up your meals into the toilet and disappearing entirely when you turn sideways would be considered 'normal' by the world's leading insane fashion experts.

Adding to the bizareness, in another of the 80s comics, the same product (with suitable change from hot-chick graphic to muscled-guy graphic) is being advertised to skinny boys (or 'losers', as the ad calls them) with the promise that it'll give them an 'unbeatable body'. Why I'm wasting my time on all this so-called 'exercise', I don't know...

Emms, everytime you post something like that, I get all .

Then again, I usually get about most things these days...

I think I need to learn to relax a bit more...

You made me nervous, too. But at least that shows I care.

[Candleshoe]

I forget to wear my glasses and then wonder why things in the distance are so blurry.

We always push away the ones we love the most, in the belief that they'll always be there for us. But love, along with everything else, can only withstand so much.

[oneyedchicklet]

Yay, I'm in someone's dream. At least I hope it was a dream and not a nightmare. Well Emms, if you're a good girl, tonight I'll read you a bedtime story. I'd offer to tuck you in but you have your wife for that. Not steppin on anyones toes.

My feet are frozen.

This is life. The one you get. So go and have a ball. 'Cause the world don't move to the beat of just one drum. What might be right for you may not be right for some. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have...my opening statement.

Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog.

Close captioning never lies, though.

Well...sometimes it does.

[JustSkipIt]

I feel a little like Emms for saying it's raining and raining.

[Auburn]

I just realised that I really like peaches, but don't like melon. I like drinking black current juice, but I don't like black currents and cherries are nicer in pies then they are on their own.

My dream named my phone this morning.. so my phone name is "Fog Horn"

There's a children's book about a sand cat named Foghorn.

Random: that moment when you hear the garbage truck pull in front of your house and realize that you forgot to drag the can to the curb. I hate when that happens.

Filing a police report is much easier in real life than it looks on TV. Weird.
