I had such a weird dream. I dreamt the earth had somehow folded in on itself, and most of the land had been lost, including the people on it, except for Texas, France, and India. I was really concerned about what we were going to do for electricity and drinking water and fuel to fly from one place to the other. And I wondered who was going to fly the planes. I was confused because there wasn't anything about it on the news, because there was no news. I wondered if there would ever be news again, if we would know anything that was going on in the other two countries.

I guess we were in France, and we were going to help my sister and brother-in-law find a house to buy. I wept because if they had still been living in Colorado, they would have been lost to us. I said, "I can't believe the earth folded in on itself." My mom answered, "It is in the Bible." I said, "Yeah," but I thought to myself that I never thought it would happen during my lifetime.

I fell at work yesterday. Hurt my knee. Now my back hurts a little, too. But the bruise on my elbow is already fading away. I fell over a drawer. Stupid.

See how many titles/artists people can guess.

My turn! iTunes TOTALLY picked some songs with LOTS of great lyrics. FUN.

1. Take my hand 'cause we're walking out of here
2. Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat / Ain't it hard when you discover that / He really wasn't where it's at / After he took from you everything he could steal
3. I found it hard / It's hard to find / Oh well, whatever, never mind
4. Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray / All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful / Yeah, well you know, gray is my favorite color / I felt so symbolic yesterday
5. 'Cause I remember how we drank time together / And how you used to say that the stars are forever.
6. You're the sweet crusader / And you're on your way / You're the last great innocent / And that's why I love you
7. I know she usually has some other ties / And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
8. So tell me one more time / How you're sorry about the way / This all went down
9. In spaceships they won't understand
10. Gonna make you like the way they lie better than the truth / They'll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say / They're gonna break your heart, yeah
11. All the world is a stage / And everyone has their part / But how was I to know which way the story'd go / How was I to know you'd break / You'd break my heart?
12. I wanted you. And I was looking for you all day. But I couldn't find you. I couldn't find you.
13. You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose / But you won't find my name in your book of Who's Who.
14. And oh, it wasn't my writing / I'd better go soon / It wasn't my writing
15. Tour the world in a heavy metal band / But they run out of gas, / The plane can never land
16. You’re the one that I wanted to find / And anyone who tried to deny you must be out of their mind
17. Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore
18. So let's find a way to bring back the days when our hearts were forever young
19. I think I like that you seem sincere
20. Standing solo in the sun

It stinks in here. Wipe yo' ass.

Ew. And I don't get it. Adopt a fetus in a jar? I guess I'll show you the link, but only because it's so weird. I'm not endorsing it. Disturbing, but not in an interesting way. I don't even get the "offensive Jesus fetus." Is it wearing an eyepatch? The whole thing is really kind of stupid.

For the record, I found it when I googled "september sapphire," because I wanted to know if September's stone was strictly the blue sapphire (it does not appear to be so).

I like this. Source.

Stop assigning blame. This is the first step. Stop assigning blame and leave the past behind you.

( And it goes on. It's good stuff. )

Dammit. I really wanted to add "getting jacked off under the table" to my interests, but I guess it's too many words or something. So I have to add "handjobs under the table" instead, which just isn't as good. *sighhh* I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that scene in Wedding Crashers. Really. My love for that scene cannot be overexaggerated. (I also love the word "exacerbated." For the record.) "He's joking around. Feels so good when he jokes...." BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Love, love, LOVE! It's so frickin' hot. Cock-in-khakis. Really does it for me. I love putting my hands in the pockets. So frickin' hot. Just the bulge. And her hand looks so tiny. I love the ass in khakis, too. Slacks. Ahhhhh, pants. I love pants.

Vince Vaughn is really hot. It's just so wrong that he was in Mr. & Mrs. Smith. SO wrong.

(I just recently saw Wedding Crashers when it came on HBO.)

Wow, I really want to check out the Mixit layout promised by lj_releases. I want all my tags listed over on the side like on Vox (but without the enlarging of more popular tags), and I need more links on each entry. I want a "Link" link and an "Edit" link and an "Edit tags" link. And I want to keep the links list and calendar, and of course each entry has to list all its tags. (I actually just typed that as "gats." Heh.)

Angh.

I like the word "alarming." Like in Beauty and the Beast: "New and a bit alarming, who'd have ever thought that this could be? True that he's no Prince Charming, but there's something in him that I simply didn't see," and in I Feel Pretty: "It's alarming how charming I feel. I'm so charming that I hardly can believe I'm real." Oh, that's dynamite.

Wow. So weird. The Japanese guy on Heroes looks just like Alex. Totally reminds me of him. Freaky.

So you may have noticed a back-dated entry I just posted about all the TV I've ever watched. It's not a comprehensive list yet, but it's certainly big enough to look like a HUGE waste of time. So just to justify it a bit here: it seems to me like there are a TON of good-lookin' series coming out this season, and I'm actually a little depressed that there are so many that I probably won't get to see all of them. GOH, I love TV. I just wanted to make a list documenting all that I wish I could watch and all I will probably miss out on. I thought it cleaned up my profile a little, too, to not list every single show I could think of that I had ever liked.

I hereby dedicate said entry to my dear friend Abigail, who is very anti-television and yet has remained my friend despite my obvious obsession with said media. (I love saying "said.")

Alex, night brings its wetness to beaches in your soul.

It's always weird when I dream that I'm smoking.

This has been one big douche of a day. (It hasn't really, but I love that phrase. Picked it up from Will and Grace. Specifically, Grace. It's my new phrase for when I have a bad day. Not that there's really anyone I could tell. Oh, and it's not a direct quote. I added the "big".)

Have you ever imagined something happening that would make you happy, and you imagine yourself feeling so happy, your self wants to puke? Does it make sense to think, "I feel so happy, I feel like puking"? 'Cause sometimes I imagine that I could feel so happy I would want to puke. Er, feel like I was about to puke. But not really nauseated. It's kind of a different thing. Is it just my current, real self realizing what I'm imagining isn't real? Is that why it happens? Is that where it comes from? Where does the puke come from? The reality, or the fantasy? Such a mystery.

Now it's over; I'm dead, and I haven't done anything that I want. Or, I'm still alive, and there's nothin' I want to do.

They Might Be Giants. There's certainly nothing I want to do online. How did I ever spend so much time on here? What did I do? These days I check all the places where I'm a member, and there's hardly ever anything much happening, and then I'm just done and have to go play Solitaire.

Ugh. There are these two sisters on MySpace who look a lot alike, and both their profile URLs are in the younger sister's name. What's that about? It's bugging the hell out of me, but I'm not really friends with them, so I can't ask. Especially since I didn't censor my interests, and they would probably set me down as a devil-worshipper if they read them, and I don't want that because I really like their mom. She's nice.

And I'll be up there on the wall at the store! Why is that sung so triumphantly?

I drank some Silk today. Was that ever disgusting. There was a taste in there that was so familiar...but I couldn't identify it. I'm bad at identifying tastes.

I'm so annoyed by LJ's talking about keeping their new notification system "non-stalkery." (Here.) Just validating all the people who complain about that with the new Facebook NewsFeed. LJ should be more supportive of a fellow internet networking site. Facebook isn't revealing anything more than it ever has. Except maybe for the photos, which it appears maybe they've taken down, of COURSE, since that was my favorite thing. But I think they're just working out the bugs on that, because sometimes it showed me pictures of non-friends and non-network people just because one of my friends had new pictures in that ALBUM. So hopefully they'll fix that and bring back the new photo notification, because I really don't care when someone joins or leaves a group or friends someone. The photo thing was the only thing I was really excited about.

'Kay, I don't get it. I selected the PulseME option, and it said that people who had an identical personality would be able to get to the LJ URL I entered. But when it gave me my results, I didn't see any identical personalities whose LJs I could visit. What's up with that? Am I really all alone in the world? But this description is off, anyway. I'm not really that angry a person.

I'm sorry if my agonizing pain is inconveniencing you. I believe Shawn was the one who said that. I like it.

Q: If my life were a movie, what would the soundtrack be?

I've wanted to make a soundtrack for my life for awhile, but it would take so much thought. But now that this shuffle tactic has been suggested, well.... I tried it on mySpace, and it SUCKED. So, take 2.

The Procedure:
1. Open your library.
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question press the next button.

*sighhh* Dammit. I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and actually give it some thought. Someday.

How good am I? I so totally recognized Skeet Ulrich in the Jericho previews. Just one glimpse as I was putting our photo album back in its place underneath the TV. I am SO good.

So I just realized--well, it's been building up for awhile--Topher Grace's character on That '70s Show and Omar Epps's character on House have the same name: Eric Forman. That's kind of annoying.

They're not spelled the same. But it's still annoying.

Yesterday was weird. I slept until 1:30, which isn't so weird, but then I went down for a nap at like...6. Slept 'til 10:30 and was up until 4, when I went to bed, but I stayed awake until maybe 7:30. I just lay in bed thinking. And masturbating, of course.

While I was thinking, I think I figured out my issue with pictures. I want lots of fun pictures of myself with people, right? But even on the rare occasion that I DO something fun, I don't get pictures. I don't want to take them myself, because I want to be in them. But I don't want to ask people to take my camera and take a picture of me. How self-centered is that? Plus it's so annoying when everybody has to pose for 5 different cameras. And they can't all take them at once, because it's usually like one person using 5 cameras for the people in the picture. I want to be able to take pictures AND be in them. I don't trust anybody else to take a good picture, anyway. I want it taken MY way. I need that kind of set-up you can get with a video camera, when you can hook it up to your TV and see what you're filming on the screen. That's always fun. Then I could see the shot from inside it, and if I had a clicker that operated the shutter remotely, I could take it when I was ready. But you'd still need to be able to manipulate the camera. You just really need to be in two places at once.

Then I thought about how I'd analyzed that. And then I thought about anal eyes. An anus where your eye should be. And maybe the eyeball would be inside it, and "opening" and "closing" your eyes would really involve kind of pushing your eyeball out slightly and letting it come back in. Somebody should photoshop that. I bet somebody has. And then when you're talking analysis, there's Anal Isis.

Anyway, then I really started thinking about the video camera-TV thing. I'm sure it's something everybody does if they start getting into video equipment. But I really blew my mind thinking about it. Say you point the camera at the TV. So you can see the TV, and...a white dog beside it. So in the TV, you would see a dog standing beside a TV picturing a dog standing beside a TV picturing a dog standing beside a TV picturing...on into infinity, which I can get. And then if you zoomed in so you could just see the TV frame, you'd see TV frames on into infinity. But what if you zoom in on just a PORTION of the screen? What would you see then? You'd see a portion of the TV blown up on the entire screen, but what would be on that portion? Well, obviously, it would be a portion of what's on the entire screen. But what's on the entire screen? What gets repeated? What color would it be? Would you see boundaries? It must form some sort of infinity, but without boundaries, how could you see it? And that blew my mind, thinking that you have to have boundaries to see infinity, because I always think infinity=no boundaries.

Then what if you held a carrot in front of the camera? So you could see the carrot, and behind it, a portion of the TV. Then on the TV...the whole carrot would have to be there, right? Or like, the whole tip that's visible through the lens. And behind it would be a portion of the TV. And the portion would be showing...part of the carrot? Maybe? Or maybe not. If not, what would it be showing? What color?

If there was a glare on the screen, that's one thing, but what if the only light in the room is coming from the TV?

I totally should have been born before the days when this problem could so easily be solved. You know, by getting a video camera and hooking it up to a TV. I thought about this so hard my head actually started to hurt. It was so great. I'm really bad at imagining things spatially, and this so counts. Plus I have a hard time thinking recursively. This strikes me as just such a thing. Because in the first example, the camera is really seeing the TV picturing a dog standing beside a TV picturing...never mind, I blew a fuse again. Is it static?

So after I thought about this, I started getting all these sentences for my novel involving time travel. I should really use my brain more often.
