butterflies

Who the hell came up with the term "butterflies"? I'm not talking about the insects themselves (though if you think about it, the butter part is pretty damn weird. I would never smear bugs on my warm muffin. Take that in whatever way you like. It's just you that has to live with whatever grimy cafe is in the back of your mind). I'm talking about the strange feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you are nervous.

I guess I just don't understand how terror, or excitement, or whatever emotion you may be experiencing resembles a delicate insect. Personally, when I get that feeling, I feel like I 'm going to be sick. Or like I need to gasp. Or cling to the nearest pillow. Or giggle a little bit. Unless you have a phobia of butterflies, I can't see anyone doing this if they had a real one in their stomach.

Lepidopterophobia. It's a real thing. And just to help all those of you out that are scared of butterflies/moths: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs41/f/2009/029/3/0/Lepidopterophobia_by_Katanaz.jpg

You're welcome.

ANARCHY!!!

short skirts

"It's fashion, betch." Or so I'm told. I am, of course, referring to short skirts. Actually, short is being generous. What people are wearing these days are basically shirt extensions. Fashion told you to wear something that makes you look like a whore? Fine. What if it told you to smash a mirror in with your face (be my guest), or better yet, suicide bomb a Hershey's chocolate factory? Don't let fashion rule your lives "betches."

Speaking of stupid fashion trends, what the hell is with bow headbands? Are people too lazy to tie their own bows these days? It's really not that hard. And when everyone's wearing them, you don't even look that cute. Let me explain: One puppy is cute, but an entire litter is fucking adorable. It doesn't work that way with clothes.

Finally, facial piercings. Too many people are getting those now, and yet so few of them can pull it off. Especially if you are wearing pink jewelry. It just makes it look like you have a large, pointy pimple on your face. Leave snakebites, medusas, etc. to the punks. Thankyou.

the almost firefly rant

So I woke up this morning thinking today was the day I would finally get around to going on my Firefly rant. For those of you just joining us, Firefly was a masterpiece. The television show combined comedy, science fiction, and little bit of the wild west into a big ball of sexy awesome. In the words of young Harry Potter from A Very Potter Musical, it was "super-mega-foxy-awesome hot." (Watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmwM_AKeMCk&feature=bf_prev&list=SPC76BE906C9D83A3A&index=1) This fantastic work of art was cancelled after fourteen episodes, and the rest of the budget went towards making a movie, Serenity.

Anyways, I got up, had my coffee, and I realized that I really don't have the energy for a full fledged bitch fest. Really, Firefly deserves all excitement I can possibly muster. So I will save my anger for another day. Instead you get to hear about how tired I am.

I've been sleeping very little lately due to exams, and other pointless distractions. I've probably averaged in three to four hours of sleep a night. Admittedly, that's not all that bad, but considering I'm used to getting about ten, and this not-sleeping has been going on for a while, it's had quite an impact on me. I've started hallucinating. I'm sure that's not a good sign. I'm not like hardcore seeing things flying at me, but shadows seem to move, people twitch randomly, and my door moves back and forth when I try to walk through it. To combat this sleep deprivation, I had to up my caffeine intake. I'm not addicted...

Life is fun. My only advice to you today is to nap when you can.

Live long and prosper.
