dear readers, please excuse my small mental breakdown last night. it was all true (true true, not my bullshit "this is all true" disclaimer), and it's been difficult, but i got out of the house today, bought a skankalicious skirt, and i feel better. i may actually go running tomorrow, but i don't want to set my hopes too high. i'm such a sloth.

speaking of which, i think i've actually committed all seven of the deadly sins in one day.

-pride - i became prideful when i got my first flash preloader to work.... i'm sure none of you give a shit. the point is that i became prideful when i realized i was fucking cool.
-envy - i became envious of madonna when i saw her amazing thighs in her new video online this morning... and remembered that i haven't been running in a week.
-anger - i became angry with joel when we miscommunicated nine times... i became angry when i stubbed my toe... i became angry when i saw fruit flies in my kitchen... and i became angry when i came face-to-face with the realization that "laguna beach" will have a third season.
-sloth - i was sloth...ful (?) all day. i sat on my pink couch in complacency, eating an m&m blizzard and watching "sex & the city." ah, sloth.. my old nemesis. you've overcome me once again.
-avarice - i became greedy when i opened my wallet at the mall and saw the cash. and i bought things. and more things. and more things... if only because i could. this shirt is twenty dollars? bah! i wipe my nose with twenty dollar bills now.
-gluttony - i was full of gluttony today. all things in moderation? how about all sloth, all day? there's two in one! i'm a multi-tasker. and i have TWO cuticle trimmers when those less fortunate only have one. moderation, shmoderation.
-lust - we all know that i'm in love with everyone. this one is pretty self-explanatory. i think it started with a joaquin phoenix spread i saw this morning. and by morning, i mean 1:30pm.

see? even though i don't do much, i accomplish a lot. (....thank god i work tomorrow.)

during my solitude today (after my extravagant shopping spree), i got to thinking and chatting, and i realized that there's a lot that i don't know about the people i choose to surround myself with. even people i thought i knew really well, i apparently don't. on some level, i think that's cool - spending time with them becomes more of an adventure, finding out more about them during every interaction. on another level, i feel like a terrible friend/acquaintance because i didn't know these things. let's change this. let's get everything out into the open. comment with something you're sure i don't know about you. it'll get me through the afternoon tomorrow. come on! i just shared the fact that i guess i'm going to hell, you can tell me that you play the banjo and write screenplays and have a passion for bocce ball.

to let you know some quirks about myself, i present to you the shitty things in pop culture i really like that nobody else does.
