Weird.

I've been tagged by Martha.

Six Weird Things About Me.

1. I can crack my toes incessantly.
2. Words I hate with an undying passion: slacks, fondle, belly, womb, mature (pronounced 'ma-toor'). (Go Freud!)
3. I skipped 7th grade (with PeopleCat) which means I used to be smart. Too smart for my own good.
4. I love pink. A nice pale, sophisticated, sweet pink. No, I am not seven, nor do I adore ponies or rainbows or other schmaltzy crap. Just pink.
5. I decided to get divorced and open up a bakery at the same time. Maybe that doesn't make me weird, just completely and utterly insane.
6. Most of the time I'd rather hang out with cats than people.

I tag Guinness Girl, Christine, and Katie.

I Beg to Differ

but according to someone somewhere, January 22 was The Saddest Day of the Year.

The Official Birthday was quite nice. It started with a lovely basket filled with fancy cheese, fancy wine, fancy bread and tulips from Meatman. Erm, yeah. Dax pointed out that he should have just put the edible underwear in there too for good measure. I-Dog pointed out that it was a cheesy gift (cheesy, get it?), that any guy knows any girl goes for fancy cheese, less the lactose intolerant of course. But Meatman is a certified south Philly cheeseball. And it will never happen. Ever. Not ever. For real. I'm quite happy with My Boy. Indeed.

SFG took me for Vietnamese food last night followed by some Ben & Jerry's Dublin Mudslide ice cream. Yum!

Tonight the celebration continues: Guinness Girl is treating me to Pico de Gallo tonight with the other Philly Blogger Gals! Here I come Pollo Enchiladas Verdes and loads of wine. Loads.

32.

Best Birthday Ever.

SFG had an impromptu taco party for my birthday last night. He invited the Canary staff plus some friends to his house for, well, tacos and a pinata.

A zebra pinata that shed an interesting mix of conversation hearts, condoms and Nicorette.

The Canary staff bought me, among other thoughtful gifts, a t shirt that simply says 'cunt'. Gotta love those little bastards.

*Current whipping boy gave Rasputina and The Bassoonist attitude while I was away, in addition to singing songs about having passively killed a cop. Buh-bye.

I Spy

Mr. X's JDate profile.

And I can't help but feel - as obnoxiously egocentric as it is - that the Who I Want to Meet description he filled in is me. Rasputina read it and agreed, although she may have been humoring me.

I'm not suggesting that Mr. X is pining for me or anything like that. It's subconscious at best. Or it's just me. I don't know. It just struck me as oddly familiar. Kind of mad me sad, actually.

Finally Chillin'.

Things are finally calm-ish in my life.

Today I took the day off. Sort of. I was only at work for about an hour and a half. But hey!

I've pretty much decided at this point I'm going to do the very best I possibly can and try and refrain from sweating it too much. Sort of a New Year's resolution, I guess.

SFG and I are going to Chicago for the weekend on a long overdue trip to visit PeopleCat! Woo hoo! SFG, poor bastard, doesn't know what he's in for. PeopleCat, you know, I realized our conversation topics will have to be severely limited because we usually talk about sex, boys, and sex with boys. But we do plan on giving My Boy the Royal Tour of the South Side of Chicago. Because there is nothing more royal than Western Avenue.

Overheard.

Man staring into cupcake case.
Me: "Can I help you?"
Man: "No, I'm just scratching."

****

Me: "So, blagh blagh, Vortex of Craziness..."
Dude who works at The Circus: "Yeah, blagh blagh, Vortex of Craziness..."
Crackhead: "Can I have your peanut butter?"
Me: "No, I need it."
