delusions of grandeur

yesterday, i was getting some last minute christmas shopping done at the mall and this guy came up to and was all, "don't i know you?" and i was all, "not likely." and he was all, "oh. you should be famous. and also rich." and i was all, "tell me about it." and so he handed me a big wad of money. and then just stood there and started clapping. and then everyone in the mall started applauding. and someone gave me a tiara. and then hugh jackman came up to me and was all, "come with me, my love." sigh... and i did. that would've been awesome, right?

pop culture overload

i just want to hit something. or someone. why is there such a consistent barrage of list shows? "outrageous fashion" this and "hotnessy people" that. why? why?? and why is paris hilton on every single list? and why, when they're talking about paris hilton, do they always start by saying, "paris doesn't exactly live... the simple life ... [pause for audience laughter at hideously overused pun]"? forcing me to get up and slap my tv. why do they do this to me? you know, i used to like paris hilton, back in the day when everyone hated her. but now everyone's all, "oh paris, what list have you gotten yourself onto now" and it makes me completely insane. and also, mtv gave her an award for the catch phrase of 2004... "that's hot." and in a post award show interview they asked her what 2005's catch phrase would be and she said... "loves it." which hurts me. what if people actually start saying it?

eavesdrop this

two transcripts in a row. completely unforgivable. i was actually early for church on sunday. i was very smug. and also very eavesdroppy. boysittingbehindme#1 (henceforth he will be called "bob"): hey. "steve" (a.k.a. boysittingbehindme#2): hey. bob: i haven't seen you in forever. steve: ya. bob: not since you got halo 2. steve: ya. i've been in my room playing it. bob: ... so, how are you? steve: all right. bob: ya? steve: ya. how are you? bob: all right. steve: ya? bob: ya. steve: ...so... how's your love life? bob: hehehe steve: hehehe... no seriously. bob: it's all right. steve: ya? bob: ya. steve: like, i'm friends with a lot of girls in the ward. bob: ya? steve: ya. bob: ... steve: ... bob: ... that sucks. steve: ya. and then i started giggling and they started whispering.
