Maybe this is a bit of a buzzkill, but I am just not into Christmas anymore like I was when I was a kid. It just comes at such an inconvenient and crappy time of the year. I mean for a college student married to another college student with no children, all Christmas means to me is more traffic, more stress than normal about my "i wish i had enough money to be broke" status, not to mention waiting for fall semester grades to come out...honestly i just look forward to cards with money in them so i can pay my phone bill and eat something besides ramen noodles (like ramen noodles with chicken).
New Year's Eve is what I'm excited about. I don't have to feel guilty about not having money to buy stuff for people anymore and they have to forgive me for the crappy/nonexistent presents cuz it's a new year. Plus it's a wonderful excuse for getting absolutely smashed with our friends. Not that we need an excuse but it's awesome to party with a purpose.
Until then, peace, love, and goodwill towards most men!

What are the things in life that you're truly passionate about? 
Submitted by Jess.

My husband, parents, brother, and sister-in-law being happy, healthy and safe; my best friends who are also family; my cool dog Emmylou Harris; poetry specifically and any form of writing; child abuse prevention and punishment; being independent, and of course myself. I am totally passionately committed to me, my narcissism, latest obsessions & desires.

I am totally in the grips of a badass girl crush this week. Megan Burns, better known as Betty Curse, is the most interesting, sexy ORIGINAL musician I have discovered in ages. To avoid going on and on about how much I love the music, the concept, and the look I'll just include some links so you can hear and see for yourself.

Has anyone else had or seen a dog like this? Emmylou, who also answers to Emmy, Snaggle & Babygirl, is twelve pounds, grew up playing with pitbulls and wolves & runs like a greyhound. She takes on mastiffs, digs trenches for hunting, and creeps up on you like a thieving ninja in the night.

What are you thankful for?

alcohol
a lack of food (no post-holiday diet for me)
weed
benzodiazepines
my family is happy together
that I know who my real friends are

]]> Another Nina Simone Day tag:vox.com,2006-11-22:asset-6a00c225278ef48fdb00cdf3a1874acb8f 2006-11-22T19:05:52Z 2006-11-29T06:47:27Z nattyboo http://nattyboo.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

NINA SIMONE DAYS

these are nina simone days

and chainsmoke of thinking freely daze

this is where the pleasure is always mine

yet you insist my silence is unbecoming

along with my petulant hair and lowercase stare

daintily climbing above your vulgar table

all barefeet and tiptoes in shades of indigo

i could care less

(pause)

then speaking ever so clearly

in my outrage only will the truth be told

obvious to any that it was not enough

to degrade me senseless

now, here, then, forever and ever and over again…

scrape the innocence off your boots

savor the moment and relish the taste

fine.

but now you want my luscious voice

dripping with cottoncandy adoration

flee now.

regardless of futility

as i am ready to turn the spin-table

attack with my serpent’s tongue

what will you do now that i have become

stronger than sinew and blood

flesh and wrath as one
