Love That Boy.

Posted by: missconstrued on: May 18, 2009

As TD and I were watching Notorious the other day this was our oral exchange.
TD: Who is this about?
Yo: Notorious BIG. The rapper.
TD: Is he dead?
Yo: Very much so.
TD: I only know that from South Park.
I think 10 more of my hairs turned gray. He was only 3 when Biggie was shot.
It’s getting OLD in [...]

T.G.I.S. #4219

Posted by: missconstrued on: February 27, 2009

And so, I got up and ran this morning. Alone. AND, I am so ridiculous that I got almost all the way down the runway in the dark. And it’s pretty dark, and then I started remembering ghost stories that my friends had mentioned (we are a WWII site) and FREAKED out and hightailed it [...]

I was in love with 3 men when I was 13.
Although, to call them men at that particular intersection of our lives would be misleading. We were young, unfettered, and arrogantly naive. Undeniably teenagers, with such a skewed perception of our worlds around us that I often wonder how we came through sane.
Christopher Dolan was one [...]

Fit to Be Tied

Posted by: missconstrued on: January 13, 2009

Whew. Wednesday.
Whereas I used to giggle over the humor of humpday, now Wednesday is most decidely unhumped. Here on the island we start our work week to correspond with Tuesday. You Bastards! So Wednesday? Totally unhumped.
Thursday is the day of the hump. Which kind of stinks, if you’re accustomed to Friday as the end of [...]

TIE. NONE. ON.

My signature block says that happiness is a choice. Not by chance. As much as I recognize this. I am burned out.
There is not even an eetsy beetsy leetle flame left. And I just wonder, “How the HECK am I going to make it until Christmas?” and perhaps that’s all I’ve got right now. The [...]

That’s NOT! Funny!

Posted by: missconstrued on: November 16, 2008

It’s all fun and game when I open my mouth. I mean, who knows EXACTLY what inappropriate little comment will come flying out? I’m stuck in Barbara Kingsolver’s The Bean Trees – afraid to death that something like “God’s Pee Pee”! is going to come flying out of my mouth while there’s company over. In [...]

Dh, because he is Mr. McDreamy, as described by some deloverly coworkers of mine is taking lessons in how to be THE BEST HUSBAND EVER (listen closely! you can hear the ECHO! ECHO! echo! echo! ). Yes, that is copyrighted!
Witness!
dh: It’s your birthday! I will do the dishes for you!
rq: Aw, honey, that is so [...]

Girlfriends: Part 324295

Posted by: missconstrued on: October 7, 2008

I didn’t realize how completely wrong I was about having friends of the female variety (nor how much missed it) until I was sitting at the Pit, for Rasti’s birthday watching her shake up the dance floor.
A friend, who shall remain nameless leaned over to me and observed, of a male in Rasti’s vicinity:
“He does [...]

What Goes Around

So, you know I have been making fun, endlessly, of the dude and his Donald Trump comb over? That starts about 1 millimeter up from his left ear?
Because it is ENDLESS fun for me?
Well.
One of my classmates from high school posted a picture of me in 11th grade, when I was 15. So, a year [...]

When I Grow Up

Posted by: missconstrued on: September 9, 2008

I want to be a cougar.
RREOOOWWRRR.
Although, if the young men prancing around look like Zac Efron (too orange) and the Jonas Brothers (too squeaky AND too white) or that kid they’ve got slated to play Jacob in ‘Twilight’ (yes, I am STILL pissed off about that; he is too skinny and too pretty), I might [...]
