Friday Five

1. What troubles you?
...

2. Do you like thunderstorms?
This is one of the big ticket items I miss about living in Denver.

3. Do you sleep easily or toss and turn?
Don't do much tossing and turning unless I've been heavily drinking. Usually by the time I get to bed I'm near comatose, so sleeping isn't a problem at that point.

4. What do you offer a friend?
True friends are hard to come by. I'd do about anything for them.

5. Friday fill-in: Please don't ___.
Leave me alone.

Flickr Porn

I guess it was bound to happen someday, but for the first time, after 3 or so years of membership, I logged in and there was nudity in the "Everyone's photos" stream on my main page. Rock!

Mind Gone Wild

Last night I had a dream I was headed to the gallows. In the dream I seemed to know why, but at the same time, I didn't know why. My family didn't seem to care much, and I said goodbye to them like I was headed off to work. Maybe they didn't know. I arrived at what seemed to be a house party, full of people I'd known in the past and some others I'd met in passing. Everyone was drinking, but the mood of the room was pretty somber. Somewhere along the way, somebody handed me a gambling marker with a bunch of auto-racing wins on it to give to my family. I didn't want it, but he insisted. One of the girls there apparently wanted me to go out with a bang and stripped us both down in the middle of the room (side note: why is it that I only have sex in dreams?). Nobody seemed to notice. Afterwards, we both grabbed beers and walked out back. Towards the back of the yard and off to the side, some people were finishing the setup of the gallows and I started to wonder what it was going to feel like to hang. A brief amount of time passed and I was led over to a platform. I could see the eyes of everyone around me and could smell the rope as the noose was placed over my head.

Then I woke up. I haven't been so relieved to wake up in quite some time.

No idea what all that means, but wow did it seem real.

Friday Five

1. Have any road trips planned?
Nope, no road trips in my near future. None in my recent past either.

2. What is out of your reach?
My ceiling.

3. Are you more likely to watch a sunset or the sun rise?
Definitely sunset. The only way I see the sun rise is if I'm still awake from watching the sunset.

4. What night will you never forget?
I can't pick one. Most of my best experiences have happened at night. I could go on all day about them.

5. What's the last thing that made you scream?
Getting headbutted in the nose by a 4 year old. Ow!

6 Seconds

It only takes a couple of seconds to brighten one's day. To the person who took 6 seconds out of their morning to brighten mine: Thank you!

And yes, me too!

Oh Dear

Every one of these absolutely cracks me up because they're all something I'd totaly say...looks like I'm going to be on PostSecret someday. Not sure if that's good or bad, so sorry in advance Ava. Although, something tells me you've already figured out that I'm just weird. :)

My dad used to say that inside of the car's air-bags was uncooked popcorn. When you wrecked the popcorn would pop and you would have a snack until help came.

When I was little, my dad told me ATMs worked by having little monkeys inside them. I believed that for years. Now I work in a bank, and wish it were true!

My dad told me the worst swear word you could possibly say was "Bostonian". It meant "someone who has no private parts." My brother and I used the word until we were teenagers and my father giggled every time we said it, right before he sent us to our rooms.

When I was little my Dad told me that the tune played by the ice-cream van was the ice-cream man letting everyone know that he'd run out of ice-cream.

When we'd approach exits or toll booths, my father told me the sound the car made when it went over the rumble strips was the car getting angry because I had been bad. I still sit up a little straighter when I hit a rumble strip.

Brilliant!

I definitely don't have the balls to use these things, but I think they're fucking hilarious.

New flavor of Vitamin Water from Glaceau. Me likes.

Although, their Revive flavor remains my #1 recommended hangover recovery product.

You Know You're Desperate When

Last night I had a dream I went to visit the local jail. Funny enough, Paris was there and pulled me into her cell for a little...something or another.

Now, I'm not saying I wouldn't, but come on subconscious, you can do better than that.

Friday Five

Well, I actually had some things to talk about this week and just didn't get around to it. Sadly, for them, the moment is gone now. So, a 2 week streak of friday 5 will have to do.

1. Are you attracted to the naughty or the nice?
Y'all oughta know me by now...Naughty.

2. Do you let your dirty laundry pile up?
Unless I really need something clean, I do my laundry when I'm out of stuff to wear.

3. What's the last excuse you made?
I don't make excuses, I offer explanations. ;)

4. Do you play it safe or do you take risks?
I spent most of my youth taking risks. I'm a boring safe person now.

5. Friday fill-in:
Let's go to ____ and ____.
Oh, given #1, so many naughty things to put here. But given #4:
Let's go to the garage and clean.
