I eat, then I smoke. I drive, then I smoke. I watch a movie, then I smoke. I write a poem, then I smoke. I work, I smoke. I work, I smoke. I wake up, I smoke.
Except now, there is no ellipse after my actions in which I am moving to light up a cigarette outside. And I am so confused. It's…throwing me off balance and it feels unnatural. I've been smoking for so long it's like a second nature and also I don't have the nicotine and all the poisons they put in cigarettes slowing me down so I am way hyper and barely got any sleep last night and I am bouncing off the walls and nervous ticks and aggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

And I know this is so mushy and no one cares, but…here is #1234325345456546 of the reasons I love him:
(yes, that is a made up number, but I have no doubt that I could come up with that many reasons)
We watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, then Twilight, then had a conversation about how I need to watch the Rambo movies. He's so eclectic. Just. Like. Me. :)

Quotes

“It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.” ~Frederick Douglass

“Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols.” ~Thomas Mann

WikiWikiWikiWiki
from www.wikipedia.org

In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil (pronounced /ˈɪɡdrəsɪl/; from Old Norse Yggdrasill, pronounced [ˈyɡːˌdrasilː]) is an immense tree that is central in Norse cosmology; the world tree, and around the tree exist nine worlds. It is generally considered to mean "Ygg's (Odin's) horse".

Yggdrasil is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In both sources, Yggdrasil is an immense ash tree that is central and considered very holy. The gods go to Yggdrasil daily to hold their courts. The branches of Yggdrasil extend far into the heavens, and the tree is supported by three roots that extend far away into other locations; one to the well Urðarbrunnr in the heavens, one to the spring Hvergelmir, and another to the well Mímisbrunnr. Creatures live within Yggdrasil, including the wyrm (dragon) Níðhöggr, an unnamed eagle, and the stags Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór.

Conflicting scholarly theories have been proposed about the etymology of the name Yggdrasill, the possibility that the tree is of another species than ash, the relation to tree lore and to Eurasian shamanic lore, the possible relation to the trees Mímameiðr and Læraðr, Hoddmímis holt, the sacred tree at Uppsala, and the fate of Yggdrasil during the events of Ragnarök.

Today I read the warning labels on my new hair straitener. Apparently, now people have to be warned not to try and straighten their eyelashes, eyebrows, and tongues. MLIA

Today, I while at home, my phone rang. When I picked up the phone, the only thing I could hear on the other line was the sound of applause. Then they hung up. I'm confused. MLIA

Today, my puppy lifted up her paw to shake, so I shook it and let it go. She lifted up her paw again. I shook it again and let it go. She lifted up her paw a third time. I grabbed her paw and held onto it. She seemed content. I've come to the conclusion that my puppy just wants to hold hands. MLIA



Learn from My Fail
from www.learnfrommyfail.com

If your husband works from home, always verify that he’s not quietly screen sharing and conferencing with someone. When you come up behind said husband to "spice up his day," his snarky partner can hear you, and will beg you to continue in his most lecherous of voices. #LFMF

If you hold kitty’s food dish 2 feet above her head, and wave it around teasing "You want noms? You want noms?" then any injuries you receive are well-deserved. #LFMF

Keep in mind that Red Bull poured into a plastic cup looks an awful lot like beer. The officer who pulls you over for speeding will not think it’s ridiculous that someone would be drinking and driving in 6:30 AM morning rush hour traffic. You will have to perform a breathalyzer. Also – yelling "I’m blowing!" isn’t the proper response to "Blow harder into the machine" #LFMF

When your Mother in Law comes over to babysit so your husband can take you out for a birthday dinner, don’t hide your dirty dishes in the oven. She may decide to turn on the oven to bake you a cake. #LFMF

Me: “Thanks for coming in! Anything I can help you find today?”
Customer: “I need the internet.”
Me: “Okay. You need to get connected to the internet at your house?”
Customer: “No! I need the internet, idiot. Don’t you guys sell them here with lots of gigglebites and dial-up modems and the like?”
Me: “You need a computer tower then? We have plenty of those.”
Customer: “No! I need the internet! My friend has an internet and its fast and has 10 gigglebites.”
Me: “Okay, I will do everything I can to help you. I would also recommend you grab a copy of one of our guides that should be a great help.”
(I show him a copy of Computers for Dummies.)
Customer: “Does it come with the internet?”
