malcolm barrett, the inspiration!

On 2007:

-I drove 2,000 miles across the country.
-California and back in a day! Yeah!
-I almost had a baby! That's weird.
-I got shitfaced a lot. It was pretty fun, considering.
-Smoking cigarettes has become even more awesome.
-Told summer of 2006 to eat my dust. Even though it was awesome.
-Already flew home to the mitten once! Panic attack!

On Smoking:
-Smoking indoors rules.
-Arizona hates smokers.
-Seriously, who the fuck thought it was a good idea to get rid of smoking in bars, bowling alleys, and venues?
-You can buy cheap cigarettes on Indian reservations.

On Movies:
-I've seen a lot of movies since I've moved out here.
-I've bought a lot of movies since I've moved out here.
-I've seen Superbad 3 times in theatres.

On Breakfast:
-I frequent an ihop in Mesa with David and AJ. The waitresses are wrinkly.
-I order the Split Decision every single time.
-French toast rules.
-With powdered sugar.

Bad Ideas:

-Feel sorry for yourself!
-Shotgun beers while wearing silk!
-Throw couches on roofs!

On The Mountain Standard Time Zone:
-au contraire, Malcolm. MST is bitchin'.
-Also, Arizona says "fuck you!" to daylight savings time. We don't observe it, bitches! We have enough sunlight as it is!

On Best Buy:
-My supervisor shaved his hair into a mullet at the first store meeting.
-I totally want to nail my supervisor, and we discuss it at length. We're gonna go on dates once I get promoted to supervisor. The fact that we discuss it does not weird me out.
-I love my BBY because the supervisors and managers actually give a shit about their jobs.
-I get hours based on merit, not on kiss-ass-ery.
-I sold $3150 in installations the other day. It was fucking awesome.
-My GM and I switched name tags for an entire day once. He said they printed his name wrong--it was "Jerry", not "Jenna". I said they forgot the "a" on my nametag--it's "Paula", not "Paul".

On Local Animals:
-I have yet to see a gecko, or a scorpion, or a snake. Lots of cacti. No deadly reptiles.

On Books:
-I've been rereading Gabriel Garcia Marquez's work a lot lately.
-I want Michelle to give me back my copy of Microserfs. Immediately.
-I recently read The Alphabet of Manliness by Maddox. Best. Book. Ever.
-Read The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. It's great.
-Nothing soul-punching (in the words of m-bear) lately. Recommend something!

Good Ideas:
-Buy Ramen in bulk!
-Live with men, not ladies!
-Charge your phone every night!
-Nap on sofas!
-Always use the toilet, and not the floor!

On Politics:
-...no, I'm not gonna touch that.

On Boys (not boiz):
-I've met a couple out here. One of them tried to make one of his harem. I politely declined.
-I find myself getting tangled up in the brains of boys and trying to make them befuddle themselves. I am also at the same time, trying to stop that. Don't let me do that anymore!
-I enjoy living with boys. They are messier, but less fuss overall.
-Really, the ones out here are just cute.
-Officially I have received flowers a total of three times now in my life. This should continue. It makes me feel really nice.
-I still have not yet been on a date before entering into a relationship with someone. This is stupid, as I have lots of nice clothing and understand how to use utensils.
-Let's date!
-There is nothing I hate more than picking up a boy's dirty socks.

On Me:
-I think I got fatter when I got depressed. Help me buy a bike!
-I have an appointment to get the mitten tattooed on my left foot.
-I make my bed every day. It's from Ikea.
-I love shoes... still. Someone make me stop buying shoes.
