Don’t tread on me When you float downstream On a moonbeam So long old bean So long old bean
Remember how I said if a lover were ever to break it off with me, I wanted to be played “It Aint Me, Babe” ? Well if I ever break up with a lover, I’m playing him this song.

READING LIST - By Miranda July →
I read the milk container while drinking orange juice out of the bottle, holding the refrigerator door open with my body. A better thing to read about while drinking orange juice would be oranges, or sunshine, or even lemons. Not milk. I read my to-do list for the day. First thing on it: “Print out script.” Last thing on it: “Dog things.” Meaning, buy balls and food for the dog. Not something I...

Resolved
dearoldlove:
I resolve to have tea with you in 2010.
I pretty much consider this done.
I just went in the lib bathroom — where a woman in the stall next to mine was on her cell phone, said “can you hold on a minute?”, let out the most vile fart I have ever heard in my lifetime, and then proceded to continue her conversation. Tooooooo faaaarrrrr.

New Year, same jokes
benchitations:
The old jokes will be retiring soon, and there are no young ones to take their place.
Sometimes I get nervous that this is my life.

Fort Collins is #7 : ]
Clearly they mean pollution-wise. Because the air is VERY thin and I had a HELL of a time adjusting to that.
Listen! or, a question for the ages
Is it ok to wear skinny jeans if you are not, in fact, skinny? I mean — should they make these in anything over a size 4 or 6? I try them on, over and over again (since about 2005) and I just do not look good in them. I have even lost a substantial amount of weight and I cannot seem to do it. I see women do it. They tuck their boots in and they look good. Women who are probably even bigger than I...

The critics should have a field day. Literally—run, skip, play…work off that anger.

The Bolder Boulder →
If you can run two miles on our treadmill in 20:34 or less, you are guaranteed a spot in one of the qualifying waves.
A couple of months ago I went on a (really) mild hike in Estes with Jerrod, and either because I was super happy or because I was in very thin air and not enough oxygen was getting to my little noggin, I decided I was going to run the Bolder Boulder in May. I haven’t...
A Whisper on the Web
dearoldlove:
Oh man, I am so glad you have absolutely no active internet presence.
Adam doesn’t use Facebook / Twitter / tumblr / rarely understands even how to check an email. It made me love him while we were dating, and it’s helping me get over the fact that we’re not knowing that I can’t kind of toddle after him online, and knowing he doesn’t toddle after me,...
