i love this years hello kitty calendar. next month is russian. privet december! next year, the theme is color. so every month she says hello to a different color. it’s pretty cool. we’ll see if tops this one, tho.
i am currently obsessed with a flaming lips song, “do you realize.” these are the lyrics.
Do You Realize?
Do You Realize – that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize – we’re floating in space –
Do You Realize – that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize – that everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes – let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It’s hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn’t go down
It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do You Realize – Oh – Oh – Oh
Do You Realize – that everyone you know
Someday will die –
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes – let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It’s hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn’t go down
It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do You Realize – that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize
but really, if you want to know why i love it so much, go listen to it. you can listen to the entire album online. i love that. i want this album very much. even tho i listen to it online all the time. i still want it. but i listened to this song, do you realize, over and over and over in the days after mo¸r mo¸r died. if i were the singing type, i’d sing it next spring, when we bury her ashes in grand junction.
i told my mom about plan b. she freaked out about the bartending. she seems to think that if work around alcohol, that i will become an alcoholic. her father, brother, 1st husband and son are/were alcoholics. so i understand her issues with alcohol. after all, my grandfathers, uncle, father and brother were/are alcoholics. i, however, am not. so working around alcohol is not likely to change that. but she scared me, she sorta reacted the way she did when i got my tongue pierced.* but i think, by the end of the afternoon, she realized why i wanted to do it. and i think she was proud that i am being proactive about my debt issues.
* i didn’t really get my tongue pierced. it was a joke. my mom is a dental hygienist who has made me promise not to get my tongue pierced every time she cleans my teeth. especially since i’ve gotten my nose pierced. i have no intention of getting my tongue pierced. it chips the enamel on your teeth. i like my teeth. but i did have every intention of playing a prank on pattie. she is the consummate prankster. i was looking forward to pulling one on her. but when i showed it to her, she just crumpled…the saddest look came on her face, like her puppy just died, and she just said, “no!” in this tiny, pathetic voice. i showed her almost instantly that it was a joke. she was relieved and then i yelled at her for peeing all over my FABULOUS joke by getting all pathetic. i expected her to yell at me, like she did when i got my nose pierced. dammit. however, she did admit that it was a good joke and told everyone what i did. still… she didn’t have to go all sad on me like that. dag nabbit.
