Ten Pee Em
July 9, 2009 at 5:16 am (diary) (carrying on, creepy guys, lists, nice guys, real life)
Holy mother of mackerel. It is late. I still have to do this. There are rules.
So, a list.
Things I Am Currently in some state of Love with:
1.) The sunsets I see as I drive home. The pink and blue explosion over the Flatirons.
2.) Feeling completely full and satisfied. At least gastrointestinally.
3.) Finally having my Ipod set up to play in my car. 9,000 years in the making, that.
4.) The weekend is now within striking distance. I can taste it and it tastes of blackberry ice cream. I am going to go to the farmers’ market with the monotone man and the nice guy and the creepy guy and watch the absence of sparks fly.
5. This insane commercial for a hearing aid with the completely oblivious grandpa type that’s being shilled by Lee Majors. He literally has his name on this shit. It is this whole Mary Kay compact of electronics to plug into your head.
6. I need to book airfare. This makes me giddy. I’m going to Chicago. I missed having something to look forward to. I love travelling alone. Much prefer it to travelling with the types of people who I’ve travelled with in the past. At least in terms of flying. It’s easier just to manage it all
7. My necklace. Not much of an update to offer regarding that. I see people more in the light of their potential than the absence of the potential while I wear it so I suppose that is good. There’s a bank teller who is so blindingly midwestern and sweet about it that it makes my teeth hurt. In a good way since most of the rest of the tellers are so distracted and pinched in. It’s refreshing.
8. Touched By An Angel. It’s not my fault. I was a strange and anxious little child and this provided some kind of twisted amusement and solace. Now I wonder how many buckets of time I must have had back then that I would choose this to entertain me. A warm glow and you too can be an angel. But there’s no fucking. You have to sign a form.
9. Whitesnake. What? Don’t judge me. I don’t judge you. Much.
10. My poor cat who was trapped in my room all day and still is a chirpy, happy little bug.
11. Swimmers caps that make their heads look so sleek and coniclike bulletheads.
12. Steampunk clothes including my feathered headband. It was homemade so it’s extra-wonderful. I think it makes people slightly nervous about me. Which is my modus operandi.
13. Indie bands’ album art.
14. TVs that know more than me about what I want. Which is, of course, to save the planet.
15. Speaking or typing of that, kiva.org. I love this concept. I need to learn a bit more about it but imagine this! Making a difference all over the world with the chance to get money back.
16. A cold water bath. I’m feeling like Blanche DuBois, like I can’t relax. Might be the summer heat, the sweating, my failing soul, but with a little cold water I get some faith in the world back.
