Dreaming out loud again

December 19th, 2003, 12:02 PM by Goddess

I feel fucking amazing today. I truly believe 2004 is going to be “my year.” I always have better luck in even-numbered years anyway, but this time, I just got that warm and fuzzy feeling that all will turn out well.

What’s changed? Nothing. That’s the amazing part. I just finally said out loud what I’ve always believed — that I am just as deserving of happiness as anyone else.

That, and I seem to have developed a crush on someone. Shit. But it’s so much fun in the early stages (you know, before reality bites you in the ass). So let me keep dreaming a little — I’m much more pleasant when I’m happy!!!



Friday Five

More mind-numbing joy.

1. List your five favorite beverages.

Alcohol — does that count as five, considering that I can’t stop at just one? (Kind of like Lays, and by “lays,” I do NOT mean the potato chips!)

Alcoholic-wise, a nice glass of Riesling or Chardonnay is sure to make me weep with joy. Same thing with an amaretto sour, a long island iced tea (depends on who’s making it, though) and a Captain and Diet Coke. There’s this great alcoholic drink called Hawaiian Punch, but I can never find anyone who knows how to make it. Not like I can make one myself, though. 🙂

2. List your five favorite websites.

Blogs or not? ‘Cause all you have to do is cruise over to the right side of my page and read the pages under “Cast” and “Inspiring Reading.” Too many faves to list, and I don’t want to exclude anyone.

Commercial sites — I can’t help but read the WaPo, the NY Times, Yahoo! News, Poynter Online (forum for journalists — I’m too lazy to look up the hyperlink) and Milk and Cookies dot com for funny shit.

3. List your five favorite snack foods.

Anything that doesn’t eat me first.

Seriously, I can live on snacks alone (and that would explain the size of my ass these days *sigh*). I cannot win a battle against ice cream, chocolate-covered popcorn, Wasabi peas, Reese’s peanut butter cups or chocolate-raspberry truffles. *drool*

4. List your five favorite board and/or card games.

I fucking hate board games and card games. I usually end up playing with uber-competitive people, and it just sucks when people are out to win and not to have fun with friends. I’ll play drinking games, as long as I can drink no matter what happens (somebody bounces a quarter and Dawn drinks; somebody loses an eyelash and Dawn drinks, etc.).

Although …. I must take exception for Erica’s Sunday Night Sex Show Drinking Game, whereby you drink pretty much any time Sue Johansen (an elderly granny type) gives you the heaves when she’s talking about blow jobs and great sexual positions. Although, again, see previous rule that Dawn drinks no matter what happens. … 😉

5. List your five favorite computer and/or game system games.

I don’t do games. Used to play Tetris, but that was back when it was created. And seeing people playing Solitaire on the computer is a raging joke at work, so I stay far away from it and similar games. I’d rather read blogs or get the hell offline and read a real book or something!
