There are some points in your life when everything is going right.
You’ve got a hit single running up the charts and MTV. You are engaged to the sexiest man alive. You are the star of a new movie that doesn’t stereotype Latinas at all. And, of course, you’ve got an ass that just wont quit.
And then sometimes it seems as if you’re life is spinning violently out of control.
You haven’t had a hit single in nearly a decade, and your new record probably won’t change that. You get videotaped in court mumbling to yourself and generally acting inappropriate. Your husband is a bald crack addict. You weigh about seventy pounds.
Neither of those situations is really where I’m at right now. I feel like I’m in a period of my life where things aren’t spiraling hopelessly out of control, but nothing is going particularly hunky dory.
Which is okay.
You can’t spend all your time worrying about things, and you can’t spend all your time with your head so far out of touch with reality that you still really believe you are from ‘round the block, when you are spending all your time getting your butt rubbed by Ben Affleck.
I guess the point is, I am happy.
No job, no prospects, no girlfriend around. Still happy. It’s weird, but I’m not going to look this mood enhancing gift horse in the mouth. I’m just sitting here watching the pretty colors and getting by.

So are you meeting me for breakfast tomorrow, happy boy?

He'll meet you for breakfast in bed.

Should we be thankful, or horrofied?

I've gotta say, I'm going to select: Thankful. Thankful that I don't have to hear those songs.
Eviltom, did you notice how mg writes "you're" and "your" like they are one in the same?
Mg, you should get Lucy to be a writer. She needs an outlet beyond the comments. Plus we need more chicks around here to balance out Eff's poop-and-wart stories.

Wait.

Yes, I *did* notice that. He messes that up all the time. I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices. But I just keep quiet now, I dont know why, I just do.

It's almost uncanny but I have a post that pertains to Jennifer "The Ass" Lopez aka J. Lo aka "Jennie From the Block". But I'll be waiting until I figure out the nuances of link-insertion before I make another apearance here. I've been shamed into silence.

Why thank you Linz! I actually "applied" for a posting position here. After waiting for days upon days I wrote again. MG only informed me that he had, indeed, received my email. Then we just kind of entered a Salutory Neglect situation. He never spoke about it, and I never brought it up again. We just kind of, forgot about it. Buried the issue, one might say. We tried to pretend everything was the same as always. But nothing was ever the same. I became much more active in the comments section, for one. As for MG, well. . .what can I say? He just moved on with his life. Sad story, I know. But not as sad as my Raccoon story from last month. That one was heart-wrenching.
As for an outlet other than the comments, I have an online journal. If you were ever to read it, I am sure you would reconsider the whole "Make Lucy The New Badsamaritan" issue.

Anna & Lucy, here's the thing... you have to just lean on mg until he breaks. And he will break. Wait, no... I complained about 10 times about the links thing, and he never helped me... Eventually I just sat down & figured it out. You can too!
[Or do this: If you're in Movable Type posting, type "Insert Link here" or whatever in the composition box. Highlight the words. Click the "URL" button. A little box comes up. Type in the url. Hit okay. Voila. Now, if you just look at how the text appears in the composition box, you can see how you would type it out in the comments to make a link from there. That, I have reason to believe, is the mystical language they call html, which involves letters and carots and back slashes...]
Damn that raccoon story (whimper)...
Lucy, you have not provided your url.

Click my name on my previous post.

Duh!
