mantra ray
My mother and sister are both in Korea right now so it's been just me and JJB since Sunday. They'll be back August 6. I'm doing the best I can to upkeep the natural order: mail, gardening (aka spraying our dying bushes with a hose from twelve feet away because I don't want to walk over), housework, trying to take care of my mom's office stuff. I'm also trying to uhh get readmitted, which is discouraging and irritating because I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen, at least not for fall. And no one knows that I'm not already readmitted. Even though we just finalized the housing and it will cost a bunch of monies. That we don't necessarily have.
I'm trying not to phase myself out of things. I'm pretty much constantly saying "Don't be scared" to myself these days. I made myself a deadline that I will send a certain email out by today and I am going crazy. It is giving me so many nightmare flashbacks, just so many.
I took my measurements the other day just because I wanted to obsess a little more I guess. Then I googled shit like "what are good measurements for women." I AM SUCH A WEENIE, A TRUE DINGBAT. Aaaaand goddamn, am I pear-shaped. I've got a literal 10-inch difference between my waist and my hips. PEAR-SHAPED DINGBAT.
Also I might be going on a blind date on Monday. My mom's boss set it up, LOLOL. Here are the things I know about him:
- his name is Kyle (LOOOOOL)
- he is 25. or something. I forgot.
- he went to the University of Paris (the real Paris, not fakey Paris, Texas or some other random misplaced Americana Midwest town Paris)
- where he majored in accounting and is now studying to be a CPA
What kind of person goes to Paris with a name like KYLE and studies accounting??? I have no idea! Or maybe, what kind of Frenchman (named KYLE) comes to THIS CITY in the U.S. to be an accountant??? I'm sorry, I cannot see myself taking anyone named Kyle seriously, much less a Parisian accountant.
Oh wait!! I lied, I know one more thing about him: he's in business with this guy who does a bunch of annoying local radio ads. The guy is called the HELICOPTER PLUMBER, because he is a plumber and he also drives a helicopter. They are doing an advertising stunt in the county fair where the guy will land his helicopter in the middle of the monster truck rally and dirt bikes will jump over the spinning blades. HOW DID I FORGET THIS!!!!!!!!!
I have been watching A LOT of kpop-related things on youtube. I have no use for any of the boybands but I feel a bunch of weird fondess for all the girl groups. I loooove SNSD though, because they are the best. It's like an objective fact. They just are. I feel so brainwashed. I don't care. I love them. AND SUNNY IS MY FAVORITE.
By the way I just googled my subject line and I am genuinely surprised that there were only two non-"Did you mean manta ray?" results. Less surprised that those two were a twitter and some Threadless bullshit. MANTRA RAAAAAAAAY!! oh man the image I have in my head is quite amusing to me, quite quite amusing indeed. MANTRA RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
