36 Going on 18

I had THE best time ever. This year's birthday just about obliterated all my other birthdays! Spent it with the best group of people... salt of the earth... hooligans with hearts... hehe. I love them to death.

We ate like food was about to be banned the next day. We laughed until our voices were hoarse. We took pictures to fill up 2 hard drives. We were foolish, free and full!

I can't wait until next year.

Oh and, before the day was over, I got THE sweetest kiss from the sweetest boy. No nookie but daaaamn that kiss was off the charts.

And the point is?

Ok... my train of thought just got derailed big time.

My birthday's coming up. Gah. I hate birthdays.

Err... wha?

I hate this. I've been away from my blog for AGES and during every one of those days that I couldn't post anything, I had a million and one things to say and now that I'm actually able to post, my mind goes unexpectedly blank.

Blank. Like my ex-boyfriend's expression whenever I talk to him about something slightly deeper than sex and sports. Blank! Me... the world's HUGEST motormouth... drawing a blank. I never cease to amaze me.

A lot of things have happened, most of them sad but the few and choice happy moments make up for the shittiness of it all. First off, my paternal grandmother passed away last Saturday and although we haven't really been close during the past year, it still hit me like a ton of bricks. As I sat there thinking of her, I realized that a lot of ME came from HER. Like how I HATE smiling. Sure, I laugh like a loon but asking me to smile for a picture is like asking me to run butt-nekkid through the streets. It's a no-way jose situation.

I got the big boobies from her side of the family too. Small frame, big jugs. Oh and bad back, while we're at it. She's an enabler too. Part of the reason why my dad was so screwed up when he was alive was how he always got away with crap and would sometimes even get rewarded for screwing up. Insane.

I also got the cursed nose from her side of the gene pool. Lemme tell you now, I am NOT happy about that. Not one bit. If there's one thing I would change about me in a heartbeat, it would be my nose. Like, now. Right this minute. No, this second. Snap! New nose! Yesss! Sigh.

Wait, lemme tell you about the good things too... I was able to see my cousins from my dad's side after God knows how long. It was nice to reconnect with them all.

And the best thing of all? My love, my eternal plaything, and my knight in shining armor, Richard sent me TOYS. I love him the most. Seriously.

Okay, for someone who has supposedly drawn a blank, I just yammered on and on, haven't I? I gotta go... places to see, people to kill. No, seriously.

I'm turning into Meredith. Ick.

Alexandra Trese

I discovered a new graphic novel and it is turning out to be one of those great finds... First there was ZsaZsa Zaturnnah and now there's Alexandra Trese.

I can't really find the right words to describe the experience of reading about Alexandra Trese's underworld adventures but daaaaaaaaaamn.... to say it was written and illustrated well would be an understatement.

Everything just jived. Made sense. The whole time I was reading it, I felt like a privileged "miron", like I was visiting a world only a few people are allowed access to.

It's going to be one of those books that will get TONS of free publicity from me. Heck, I already texted a couple of my friends about it.

It's never easy when you want it to be...

Lemme just list 'em all down... If you read this and want to help, I'll build you a statue and worship you from day till night.

Here goes:

I need a phone. Mine works maybe 2 days out of 7. I swear, some days it even gives me the finger. So yeah, I need one.

My kingdom for some Spanx. Ugh.

And flash drives and a laptop. I kid you not.

Take note... these are NOT wants. They are currently needs. NEEDS! So if you have nothing nice to say, zip it.
