Hey y’all. So instead of writing PNW’ed today, I nicked off to the wading pool with the girls and Franny’s interesting new friend, who says things like, “I can’t STAND to see a messy bed.” After I said, “You girls worked hard so you should have a snack,” she replied, “But YOU worked the hardest.” She’s EIGHT, y’all. I may be keeping that one.
But I did have time to sit on my can after the girls went to bed and found videos!
Suddenly I want challah bread
This girl is pwning the fuck out of this guy. Eat crotch fumes.
In OTHER news, my companion has made himself a mint julep, and drank half of it, and reached the “COME MERE AND GIVE ME SOME FNUGGLES” stage in FIFTEEN MINUTES, people. I think he had a rough week. He always calls himself a “light touch” but he means he is a lightweight.
Now he is singing Dire Straits. Don’t tell him I said so, but I think he’s DRUNK.
I am doing laundry. But you know what? I AM DOING IT JOYFULLY. I am a good hosewoof. Hooray, mismatched socks. A challenge.

Also, a nice lad from Wales came to the door selling books to pay for his education (so he claimed). My sister began telling my companion the awesome story abut how she and my mom were visited by many lads in the summer with accents, “And you ALWAYS buy the BOOK!” she said. “Because of the ACCENT! But you never actually read the book. But you DON’T CARE.”
“Well, I think I will use these books,” I said. They are cool natural world encyclopedias. People are always all, “The Internets are going to make encyclopedias obsolete,” and I’m all, “BITCH, my kids are going to learn how to use books first, and won’t be allowed to use the Internets until they’re 30 anyways.” We’ve been looking for books like these.
I pried and found out that the guy works six days a week, and like twelve hour days.
“So you are not seeing the city at all,” I said, pryingly. “And you are not old enough to drink here?” He looked at me piteously, yet stoicly. “Call me and we will have you over for drinks. I am SERIOUS. This is a CRIME. Cost of admission is cool stories about places I’ve never been to.” He agreed. I hope he takes us up on it. Because I am BORED, people. My friends are gone. And I am glad for said friends, because they are doing what they should be doing, namely, being as far away from me as possible. But still. Bored. So bored I am entering writing contests. Yug.
And now, whiny. And hating myself for neing whiny.
ANNND, SCENE.

My sister’s birthday is tomorrow! YES PWNAGE. She is going to Canadia and exercise her legal right to drink responsibly there, now that she’s turning 19, which apparently is a rite of passage for all Northern-bestated youths. I wouldn’t know. When I was 19 I was already married and probably swallowing heroin balloons on my birthday.
I am taking her to breakfast tomorrow at one of my favorite grad school breakfast haunts, which should be dead because school’s out and we’re going early. Hooray!
Dude, if that kid’s stories are from Wales you’re not going to be getting much return on the booze. Wales is like, “Then, after six days of drinking so much that I barely remember anything that happened, I woke up in some girl’s appartment with her pants–”
They call panties pants. if you say, ‘pair of pants’ they burst out laughing.
“–with her pants up my nose. And I had such a terrible headache that I immedately drank a fifth of vodka and went sheep tipping.”
It’s that, or spousal abuse. I swear, hanging out in front of the bar down the street from my house is like watching the Jerry Springer show live, 24/7.
Of course, speaking of ethnocentric funnies, they have a chain of grocery stores here called. “T & A Stores.” When I told my British friends why that’s funny they seemed utterly mystified.
“When I was 19 I was already married and probably swallowing heroin balloons on my birthday.”
OMFG!! That may be the funniest line you’ve ever written. So light and succinct, yet it alludes to volumes, doesn’t it?
Sorry you’re so bored. Come over here and hoe in my garden this afternoon while it’s FRICKING 109 degrees. That’ll make you feel alive. Or kill you, one of the two.
Please, bc, don’t make me ho again.
Joshua: I don’t know. I’m up for anything at this point, even tales of X-treme vomiting. But thanks for the heads up.
Dude, encyclopedias will never be obsolete. You rule.
*whine* I want breakfast at the grad school haunt, even if they undercook the eggs. Snap!
