closure


Did you ever see Poltergeist III? Do you lie awake at night worrying about what happened to that one guy named Scott? No? Well the guy who played Scott does. He pretty much worries enough for all of us.


Every time I go to the laundromat lately there's this guy there with a boombox listening to slow jams and lecturing people. He'll just fixate on whoever is dumb enough to look at him and talk at them until their laundry is done. Today he was listening to some song called "I Wanna Break It Off" (and the song was not about breaking up with somebody!!) and trying to give this surly old hippie slow-dancing instructions. It took him like, ten or fifteen minutes to work up to talking about putting his hand on "the breast".

You can tell when it's someone's first time at the laundromat because they're all trying to be good-natured to the guy and have a conversation with him. They're all, "hey, this guy's pretty funny." But like Pa Ingalls said, even the second time may be funny....but the third time's a whuppin'.

is it rude that you remind me of my boyfriend because you both love horror movies? or is it rude to make assumptions like that?

p.s. what is microbone structure syndrome?

Crystal Lil said...

whoever that is probably knows me in real life because they are so fixated on manners.

Friends Forever said...

but to "assume" that we both like horror movies means they don't know us... but they are using names.... and it's easy to mimic someone's internet manners

OOPS that was me--- blog world gets Soooooo hectic. I can't even begin to clear up the misinterpretations of that comment. didnt mean to be anonymous.
