i'm so scared it's even funny

julie_gong posted about this at the bottom of this, and at first it just made me scoff at the ridiculousness of it all, but the more i look at it, the more it seems like a joke... right? i mean, the first red flag for me was the pretty decent design of the site. i hate to be so stereotypical, but people with a good artisic eye are typically... more, um... open(?). then there are the three "topics" they list to help people spot early homosexuality: "how to identify homosexuals, what is a sexual predator?, what are gay bands?." they go from sexual predator to gay bands? and that's it? no gay movies or gay musicals or gay books or gay porn*? and my personal favorite is c.h.o.p.s. that logo alone is priceless. plus "c.h.o.p.s. stands for changing homosexuals into ordinary people," and from this statement i can only deduct that the definition of ordinary people is people who aren't homosexual. if all that isn't enough to make you at least giggle, please watch this video. i guess in the end, whether it is a joke or not it truly is funny.

another thing that seems like a joke but really isn't is these guys. they actually love ann coulter enough to write a song about it**. yikes.


*maybe that's a little too obvious

**in this case, "it" can either refer to the situation or the beast that is ann coulter

i want to be an adult when i grow up

i know i'm technically an adult, but sometimes i can't believe that my friends and i are all grown up have such grown up jobs. (well, i guess my job doesn't really count... i play with sparkly paper and pretty colors and foam core and spray mount and watch 'the office' with my coworkers at lunch every friday.*) but everyone else's job seems like something that we shouldn't be old enough or responsible enough to do**. it really makes me want to follow them around at work sometime to make sure they're not still just pretending to be grown ups. does anyone else have the urge to do this? when's "bring your immature high school friend who has no faith in you to work day"?

well, i guess i'd better get back to searching for pictures, picking out colors and sorting out the macoroni pieces i want to use on my next project...


*oh, and i can't forget to mention the shoe kick tournaments everyone thinks we have

** not that i'm saying my friends are irrespons -- oh, who am i kidding. sorry guys.

the good, the bad, and the skinny

november through january always seems to be so busy. between being out of town and all those fun, holiday family obligations, it was hard to find down time. then january was slammed with work because our clients got new budgets and needed things done as soon as possible. therefore, a huge lack of blogging occurred. not that it matters.

to get caught up, i thought i'd share some highlights of what has happened during that time: we went to hawaii (which is truly paradise), i broke my finger (because i can't catch a football), we majorly stocked our bar (because of new year's), i battled my mom on going to church (that's always fun), i got a generous bonus and raise (which is greatly appreciated) so we got a laptop (finally!), i attended a bacon party (which might require further explanation), i watched a horribly depressing husker game in the freezing cold (eff the west coast offense) and didn't get on tv with my awesome "D" "UMB" sign (eff fox), my brother found a girlfriend (yey!), i learned that i know how to steer into a skid (thank goodness), i got to was forced to hold a baby for the second time in my life (and didn't drop it), i almost joined a gym (then remembered how lazy i am), i realized how much i really enjoy doing problem-solving puzzles (what's wrong with me?), i discovered that i might actually be decent at taking pictures (after blowing through about 100 shots on one sunset), i accidentally drank every night for about a week and a half straight (oops), i realized how sweet my father-in-law and cousin-in-law truly are (for scooping all the snow from my driveway without telling me), i started taking vitamins (which make me hurl if i don't eat when taking them), i found out that two friends of mine are pregnant and two friends of mine are getting divorced (multiplication & division), and i have been laughing my ass of at the most recent episodes of "the office" and "extras" (brilliant!).
