"AND YER NOSE IS BLEE'IN, AND YER NOSE IS BLEE'IN!"

Kele Okereke of Bloc Party is still the man of my dreams...

I have come to the conclusion that I enjoy dancing way too much. I'm not sure if I am a particularly good dancer (or perhaps even on the very end of that spectrum. For all I know, maybe my dancing is comparable to that of a gawky kid at 80's prom who starts doing the running man in the middle of the dAnCe FlO thinking he is god's gift to hip hop and that's why everyone is clapping and goading him on, REALLY!) (but then again...I would want to be friends with that kid...) (also...no one claps when I dance.) (also, i need to stop using parenthesis) (EHEM)

I say this because currently i am dancing like a loon to Bloc Party in front of my computer screen. Is there anyone else who just likes to randomly turn on music and FREAK THE FUCK out? Because if so, we should be friends and just dance a lot. We don't have to talk, we can just have intimate dance parties. Really, get at me. (Though, I like talking too. :)


I've started going out and publicly dancing. It's good times. And I don't think I would stop even if I were to find out tommorow that I am an embarassment to myself and my future progeny. This is all part of my attempts to become Comfortable-With-Myself(TM). So I can put a smile on my face and dance my face off even though things are kind of on the shitty side right now.

I will not digress into that though.

Also, I have recently found that I am incredibly attracted to/want to hang with hood guys who kind of skate on the edges of hipster and thuggish. I am not sure if I am particularly cool enough/savvy enough to hang with them, but I hope they can look past my nerdy i-am-sadly-pretty-much-devoid-of-slang-terminology-knowledge exterior and appreciate the burgeoning afropunk within. :)


I've been writing a lot recently. You know, poetry and all that jazz that will get me nowhere. I may just share sometime.

IF YA LIKE IT THEN YA SHOULDA PUT A RANNG ON IT!

lololololol laughing my face off. also i apologize in advance for the fact that this post is really just me free-associating, there's barely any continuity.

The "making of single ladies" parody video is down pretty much everywhere because of copyright law, but I VEHEMENTLY encourage you to watch it if you can hunt it down or spare the $1.99 for it on itunes.

I swear, anything from the deluded mind of Andy Samberg is somehow comedic gold. Maybe it's just my acute love of jewish men talking, but I am all over anything he and his crew does. If you have a few free moments to yourself and enjoy laughing check out: thelonelyisland.com. Andy, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone are too much. They remind me of the awkward nerdy guys I wish I had hung out with in highschool...though, my highschool had no boys....

Also, Justin Timberlake is really hilarious. I used to love him simply because...well...he is Justin Timberlake. That faux-jheri curl thing he had going on set my eight-year old heart afire back in the day to the point that I didn't even know what to do with myself. I shamelessly shelled out a hundred dollars to see the futuresex loveshow (over-the-top, misguided, sexist dissapointment of a concert...) a year or two ago because I was nostalgic. But even I cringed when it was announced that he would do his first SNL episode....he was a musician, just a suave, pretty faced, machine programmed to "OOoo" and turn on that sexy falsetto romancy voice that screams "BED ME" at specific intervals to make dEm laDiiEz gO WiiLD. I was pleasantly surprised when I found that my boo (forgive me) had some chops, and am always delighted at his subsequent SNL appearances. I guess the Mickey Mouse Club taught that boy well.


Beyonce didn't do too badly either(apparently she's terrible to work with, forgets lines a lot) though, she didn't have to do much more than be herself and look cute. And dayum, she's got some killer legs. I'm no prolific Beyonce' follower, but I am in love with "If I Were a Boy". Also, I see she is rockin' an all black female band these days? Has that always been the case? Kudos kudos kudos. It's not entirely revolutionary, but it's just something I noticed and have to give girlfrennn (or her record label) credit where credit is due. "Single Ladies" is real catchy, it makes me want to wear my "Strong, Smart, Bold" Girl's inc shirt and shout lyrics from a rooftop...kind of (there are some things a little wonky in her logic in that song, but it's relate-able, so that's a step in the right direction). It's funny though, her voice sounds a little Rihanna-esque at one point.

That's all I've got for ya for now...

New venue, Same old melodramatic psuedo-existential dribble drabble....

I hail from the land of LiveJournal, but I felt like I needed a fresh start in order to come up with new things to complain about//pretend to be an expert about.

I'm Michelle, an eighteen year old college freshman. In typical prolonged-adolescence fashion, I have no idea where I will be in four years or even next year and that very thought both terrifies and confuses me. And I've got a great back up plan with my best girlfrennn that if things don't work out for us in the marriage department by age 33, we will at least temporarily move in together and invest in more cats than it's legal to possess.

Random Smorgasbord of Miscellaneous "Back-Pocket" Information:

I almost always miss the boat.

I can't stop listening to "Stars and Sons" by Broken Social Scene lately.
And I'm hopelessly addicted to trashy television (degrassi....everything else on t.v....) and black sitcoms from past years (cosby show, steve harvey show, a different world...oh dear god yes).
I also watch substantial programming...but who doesn't?

Also, say: "Spring Awakening" to me. Honestly, just say it. I will probably begin to emit an odd whirring sound of sorts indicating immense uncontainable excitement. I love that shit more than a morbidly obese kid fiends devil's food cake.

I'm pretty introverted, but not unfriendly. It's something I'm working on.
And I'd honest to god just sit back and observe everything forever if you let me. My main goal in life is to amass as much knowledge (useless and useful alike) and sage wisdom as humanly possible, and if I'm lucky...a little more than that.

My main existential crisis:

I don't love anything enough to hone it.not well aqquainted with anything enough to own it. Now would be the time to take action.


Anyhoo, just talk to me. I'm not this boring all the time, really!
