Random thoughts!

I've spent the last half hour staring at my computer screen trying to come up with a fanfic in any of my usual fandoms (Buffy, HL, Angel, X-Men, and newbie Jake 2.0) to go with the title "An Unbearable Lightness of Brain Cells".

And I can't. Which sucks, because I'm having serious weirdo love for that title. Don't even ask me why.

I'm going to have a job and a hurricane both at the same time. I get the impression from other people who've had hurricanes and jobs both at the same time that this is a bad thing.

You'll have to forgive me. I'm originally from Pennsylvania, so I'm pretty much disaster-deprived. Well, unless you count snowstorms, which I don't. You remember that screaming kid from "Men in Tights", right? When the local news announces more than six inches of snow, they'd let that kid loose, and he'd run down my street screaming and flailing his arms about. You know, as sort of a signal that it was okay to begin panicking like an imbecile.

You know what's funny? Going down to the Wal-Mart before a big storm and watching the rubes stock up on snow shovels and plows like they expire after every storm. And why does everybody buy milk, eggs, and bread before a storm? Great, now you can eat French toast for a week. You must be so pleased. Sheesh.

Does anybody else find something weird that the difference between the way Britney Spears spells her first name and the way it's commonly spelled is that her version is missing a T and an A?

********

Am I the only person who tries to imagine what it'd be like if the rock stars and actors Queen Elizabeth's knighted all had to act like medieval knights? I usually die laughing right about the time Elton John tries to put on that helmet-y thing over his glasses.

My brother and I were once riding along in my car with the radio off when he turned to me and asked, "Do you hear music?" I didn't have the heart to tell him the voices in his head started a band.

( And hey, look, I found my Fairy Tale News Headlines! *user bounces up and down happily* )

(no subject)

Bush: No Proof of Saddam Role in 9-11

*user just stares and blinks for a minute, then ...*

You know what? I'm going to be nice today and I'm not going to say a damn thing. Nope, not a thing, because if you people know me by now, then you know what the hell I'm thinking anyway. So I think I'll just sit here and stare at the headline until it goes away.

...

Why isn't it going away?

Urgh. Le sigh.

********

Just another random thought I had lying around ... if you work on the assembly line at a conveyor belt factory, how long before you go insane?

********

Went to the temp job today, and did maybe about an hour's worth of work. But nobody seemed to care, really. It was great. They'd be like, "Well, we just ran out of work for you, so just sit here and stare at the wall."

And I'd say, "Can I read my romance novel?" And they'd say, "Sure."

And I'd say, "Can I write story notes?" And they'd say, "Not a problem."

And I'd say, "Can I try and guess what's behind Door Number Two for cash and prizes?" And they'd say, "It's the ladies's room, Jennifer." Which, coincidentally, I was not going to guess, which is why I'm now the proud owner of a llama and a year's supply of pickled pigs feet.

Hee. I like.
