Why I Tweet

As I told my friend via GChat:

Me: i think i love twittering

i've decided to use it as an outlet for my foot in mouth disease

when i have the impulse to say soemthing, i'll just tweet it

then i'll become known as a wit instead of a weirdo

Quite Dapper

i want these moustache earrings

ROME-ance

Whilst I slog away doing the nine to five commuting routine in the DC area, my friend is living the proverbial dream.

She moved to Rome right after graduation and eventually landed a steady teaching gig. When not instructing Romans in the intricacies of English grammar, she flits about the city drinking wine and hopping on the back of dashing Romans' vespas.

One such uomo, named, of course, Rrroberto, swept my belissima quite literally off her feet.

That is, after having whetted, he quite satisfied her appetite.

Here is how she recounted it:

Her: but he's the best lover i have ever had
Me: oooo, i need to find one of those i think
Her: he invited me over for dinner a few weeks ago so he could cook for me
(which you have to admit is hot--a man who cooks!)
so anyway, he came to pick me up and brought me back to his place, put on some music, put the water on the stove to boil
then he started kissing me in the kitchen, led me into the bedroom, and made love to me before he even put the pasta in the pot!
Me: oh que c'est sexy

Le Bill

The Health Reform bill came out of committee on Wednesday, and as a result, frantic constituents barraged interns and staff assistants Senate-wide with unceasing phone calls telling them to "STOP KILLING OUR FREEDOM!"

There were the rare pro-reform calls, of course, but it just goes to show that people are far more into negative criticism than positive reinforcement. Desperation breeds action; contentment, complacency.

For my part, I participated in making Social Legislation History by running to the Stationary Store to pick up "six of the largest binders you can find" to carry The Bill. I then hole-punched the beast while fielding calls.

Only to find at the end that I had done it backwards.

Me?

My friend just described me (via Facebook) in three words:

Awkward.
Intelligent.
Hilarious.


I'll take it.

Angst

Emma: your status is totes emo

I always liked cats.

I used to say if I were to be an animal, I would be a cat.

That was until I met these particular cats.

There are four of them.

They all follow me around everywhere I go as soon as I set foot inside the house. They're either slinking about right under my feet, staring at me with wide saucer eyes while I go to the bathroom or take a shower, or scratching at my door (which I've closed for protection) while I try to fall asleep or watch Hulu in peace.

They actually wait outside my door and are standing there when I open it.

It's like an Alfred Hitchcock movie. In fact, I'm not sure why he chose The Birds instead of The Cats.

Kit Kats and GaGa

[11:43:19 AM] Christina: the thing is i ate like 12 kit kats last night

[11:43:41 AM] Christina: ps best song ever = eh eh by lady gaga

[11:44:13 AM] Ali : really?

[11:44:20 AM] Ali : to the kit kats and gaga

[11:44:27 AM] Christina : yes



Also known as . . . my life continues to be pathetic.

But Ali did tell me I'm funny and that I should write a book. Not that I didn't already know this. She thinks I should title it:

"November Just Sucks."

And thinks that the first line should be "I always get fat in November."

Which were two sentences I uttered in a row during our conversation.

She's right. It sums up my current mood.

I'm Blushing

Miss Dickinson is a saucy lass.

You've read "Wild Nights -- Wild Nights!," right?

Derniere strophe:

Rowing in Eden --
Ah, the Sea!
Might I but moor -- Tonight --
In Thee!

Mais que je rougis. And que I love it.

Ew

That last post was so corny. What was I thinking?

Please ignore it.
