What can you say about an image like that? Thank you Luna, that's what! And since I ripped off her idea in my last post, you should really go visit her. Anyway, I asked you guys what I should post about...
Luna suggested I tell the story of my first menstrual period, and I would, darling, if I remembered it. You know how those sorts of things happen and you sincerely believe that you will remember that moment, crystallized, forever? Well, it's not true. Old age sets in and it's all gone in a sea of Swiss cheese and lint. I know that I was 12, and that my mother bought me a red headband at Payless to commemorate me becoming a woman. Note that I don't remember anything except what was bought for me.
Which is, of course, a nice segue to remind you that my birthday is on Wednesday, and I might not remember anything after the fact except what you get me. Let's make some memories.
Another comment that someone asked me to post about was tube socks. Frankly, my tube sock addiction has been a little hard to feed lately. I got a cute pair of Puma tube socks a while ago, but other than that there hasn't been any good news on the tube sock front. If anyone knows of where I can find some killer tube socks, please write to me. Or even better, send me me a picture of you in tube socks with "LINA" written across your darling shins or something. Like this one. That, my friends, would make my day.
When I am going about my day, living my life, I constantly think of things that I vow I will post on my website. Of course since I only update it every 10,000 years I never remember what those things are. So many things have happened recently that I haven't posted about--I saw Olivia Newton-John in Reno and she looked right at me, I played blackjack for 4 hours straight and didn't have a single cigarette, I filed my taxes, another dude sent me a picture of his willy, got some more therapy, and had my fat goalie idea ripped off by Amstel Light.
I also got my notice from school saying that i am destined to graduate in the fall. They also told me that it will cost almost $90 for the cap and gown, and another $100 for graduation invitations. As I'd rather spend my money on porn and fried chicken, I'm thinking about skipping the ceremony. Is there any reason I should think twice about this? I don't come from the sort of family that will gift me large amounts of cash upon the donning of a mortarboard, so I'm not sure if there is any reason that I should bother. Please weigh in, dear reader.
Also, what should I do for my birthday? I'm thinking roller skating, but the closest rink is kind of far away so I'm not sure. Any brilliant ideas?
are you a female that enjoys tube socks?
dan | October 16, 2005 4:25 PMHi Lina, How does it feel to join the quarter century club? I can't believe it's been twenty three years since Cuban Martha was force-feeding you soft boiled eggs in the car on the way to the beach, with predictable results. You were very mellow about that, considering. Sorry, I thought you'd be amused by that. Happy birthday.

Happy Birthday dear Lina
Happy Birthday to you

I agree with L. Wing. Skip the ceremony and get a manicure. Then, collect the checks from the relatives.
Franny | March 2, 2004 5:56 AMDon't skip the do.
Mine cost me £500 and my relationship with my father, but it was a good bash.
Pete | February 28, 2004 8:25 AMgraduation day 2000 was one of the most depressing days of my life. it was a predictable dead end to the resonating thud of slc. i think you'd be better off going to a spa or something, maybe throw a slumber party...
wing | February 28, 2004 6:10 AMGraduation ceremonies suck. I was unfortunate enough to have George Bush speak at mine. I opted to sit through the entire thing and read a book. I also decided that buying a cap and gown was for suckers, so I borrowed from a friend/ bought at a thrift store, respectively. Announcements=cash and they can be made for free. I call it cheap, your relatives will call it industrious (at least mine did).
salamanda | February 28, 2004 2:58 AMYou might try bowling. I did it for the first time in a few years the other night and had a good time.
Get smashed on cheap beer, hang out with a very, very, different crowd. It was fun for me anyway.
John Christ | February 27, 2004 4:46 PMBirthday ideas....
I went go-karting for mine and you would be suprised how much fun it can be. Do that, or go paintballing. Or, just smash it right in :-)
Sam Brick | February 27, 2004 8:50 AMI'm sure your parents will want to see you graduate. On some level, at some time, they must have helped you and it would be very gracious of you to give them this gift. Even if they don't give you large amounts of cash. It's good for at least dinner in a nice restaurant.
Unrequited love always
