DUDES. FELLOW DEADHEADS ON MY FLIST. MY FATHER SHOWED UP JUST NOW, FRESH FROM GOING TO FLORIDA TO SEE THE LAST TWO SHOWS IN FURTHUR'S SPRING TOUR (I know I know I'm bitterly jealous too, I can't even talk about it), UNABLE TO WAIT FOR BREAKFAST TOMORROW BECAUSE HE WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS THING HE GOT ME, AND HE GAVE ME THE COOLEST SWEATSHIRT IN THE HISTORY OF EVER.



FRONT (apologies for shitty cell phone quality SHUT UP I AM EXCITED OKAY):



AND BACK:



fhdsjkfhdsjkfhdsjkfhdskjfhdskjfhsdjkfhdsjkfhdskjfhdsjkfhdskfhdskjfhdskjfhdsjkfhdsjkfhjsdkfsdkjf!!! HE WAS LIKE, SORRY IT IS GIGANTIC, IT WAS THE LAST ONE LEFT, AND I WAS LIKE, NO WORRIES, THE BETTER WITH WHICH TO WEAR IT OVERTOP OF ALL THE OTHER CLOTHES I OWN.

I'M SORRY. I KNOW IT IS RIDICULOUS TO BE THIS EXCITED ABOUT A SWEATSHIRT. BUT, IN MY DEFENSE, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER SWEATSHIRT, EVER.

...then he said "I HATE THE BIRDS SO MUCH" and tried to make me teach him to beat the level he got stuck on on the plane, but WHATEVER, I FORGIVE HIM, HE BROUGHT ME JOY IN SWEATSHIRT FORM.

For those of you who are don't care about the Grateful Dead (and THAT IS SAD FOR YOU, BY THE WAY, I SHED A TEAR FOR THE LOSS OF AWESOME IN YOUR LIFE, THEY ARE AMAZING), here is a picture of my dog...whose name is Jerry Garcia...so we're still totally on topic, really.



He says, I WAS SLEEPING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT PHONE, I AM NOT IMPRESSED WITH YOU OR YOUR BEHAVIOR AT ALL. To be fair, though, he learned that expression from me last night when he tried (again) to catch a skunk, and disaster was only narrowly averted.

I'M JUST GONNA GO BE THE HAPPIEST DEADHEAD EVER NOW, KTHNXBYE

OMG OMG HELLO TO THE PUPPY HELLO HI YOU ARE A PRETTY BOY, YES YOU ARE.

...That is my requisite response to any dog pictures I run across. Aaaand I'm done. (UNLESS HE WANTS TO COME SAY HI.)

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

HE SAYS HI HI HI.

Actually really he says snoooooore *footkick* snoooooore but he would totally be saying hi hi hi if he was awake :D

SUCH A GOOD BOOOOOOY. Give him a snorfle for me, I am feeling pet-needy as I have had to take an unexpected weekend away, thus leaving my bb gerbils alone for the very first time since I got them! Ever! I regret not sneaking them in in my pocket. I called my BFF to tell her where I left the food for her and I was like "AND CAN YOU PLEASE TELL THEM MAMA LOVES AND MISSES THEM!?" and she was like "...." and I was like "THIS ISN'T FOR THEM, IT'S FOR ME, OKAY, I WILL SLEEP EASIER IF SOMEONE TELLS THE GERBILS MAMA MISSES THEM." And she was like "...why are we friends."

SORRY I AM JUST NEEDY RE: FUZZ TONIGHT.

HERE HAVE A FUZZY THING:

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

ASLDFJSLDKJFSLDKJ *GRABBYHANDS*

THESE ARE MY FUZZY THINGS:



ALSO I HAVE DERAILED THIS AND APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING A DEADHEAD. MY PARENTS WERE THE DIFFERENT SORT OF CRUNCHY JEWISH HIPPIES. LIKE THE KIND THAT WENT TO COFFEEHOUSES AND MADE ME THINK THAT PETER, PAUL, AND MARY WERE BIGGER THAN THE BEATLES.

[gyzym.livejournal.com]

AWWWWW, HI BBS HI, EEEE THEIR LITTLE FAAAAAAAAAACES, THE CHEEKS, OMG ADORBS.

AND DUDE, NO WORRIES, I AM NOT EXPECTING MANY DEADHEADS, I JUST HAD TO SDFHSJDK FOR A SECOND. ALSO, YOU PARENTS SOUND AWESOMESAUCE.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

THAT IS GUSGUS ON THE LEFT AND CHARLIE ON THE RIGHT AND I MISS THEM SO MUUUUUCH. DDDDD: CHARLIE GOT A CUT ON HIS TAIL RIGHT BEFORE I LEFT AND WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO WITHOUT MAMA TO KISS IT BETTER BY WHICH I MEAN PROBABLY INFECT IT AND MAKE IT WORSE??!?!? (BUT MAMA WILL FEEL BETTER AND THAT IS IMPORTANT.) WHAT IF THEY RUN OUT OF CARDBOARD TO CHEW? AND NO ONE IS STROKING BETWEEN THEIR LITTLE VELVETY EARS. IT IS A DEPLORABLE SITUATION ALL AROUND. I SHOULD HAVE SET UP A WEBCAM.

MY PARENTS ARE SUCH CLICHES IT'S RIDICULOUS. LIKE I GREW UP ON PUBLIC RADIO AND WE ACTUALLY GROW ARUGULA IN OUR BACKYARD AND I WAS TELLING MY DAD IN THE CAR ABOUT HOW VERMONT HAS A NEW SINGLE-PAYER SYSTEM AND HE PRACTICALLY GOT HEARTS IN HIS EYES AND MADE ME LOOK IT UP AND GOT REALLY EXCITED THAT THERE'S AN ENTIRE WEBSITE DEDICATED TO IT SO HE CAN GO LOOK AT HIS HEALTHCARE PORN. LIKE. IDEK.

ONCE, MY MOM WOKE ME UP AND WAS LIKE, YOUR DAD AND I ARE LEAVING, WE'RE GOING TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP TO TRADE IN THE SUBARU FOR A PRIUS AND I WAS LIKE OKAY WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS MY CRUNCHY GRANOLA LIFE.

dfhdsjf OH MY GOD BB YOU ARE JUST THE CUTEST THING I CAN'T EVEN. ♥ ___ ♥

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

ALSO, GROWING UP I WATCHED ONLY PBS, THE ONLY EXCEPTION BEING SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS, UNTIL I WAS LIKE FOURTEEN. AND I THOUGHT LITTLE PLASTIC STRAWS FULL OF FLAVORED HONEY WERE AN ACCEPTABLE DESSERT.

ALSO, THE GERBILS, LIKE, EAT BETTER THAN MOST HUMANS, WHICH THE BFF CONSISTENTLY MAKES FUN OF. I LEFT A RATHER SPARSE SET OF NOMS PORTIONED OUT THIS WEEKEND (WHOLE GRAIN BREAD WITH LENTILS AND PUMPKIN SEEDS) BUT IT IS ALSO COMMON THEY GET AVOCADO, SPINACH, BROCCOLI, SUNFLOWER SEEDS, PASTA, EVERY MANNER OF BEAN, STRAWBERRIES, PEAR, BASICALLY ANYTHING I AM EATING THAT THEY DEEM WORTHY OF GOING IN THEIR TINY MOUTHS. (INCLUDING ICE CREAM. BITCHES LOVE ICE CREAM.) ALL OF WHICH IS, OF COURSE, ORGANIC. LIKE WE WOULD ALLOW ANYTHING LESS IN OUR HOUSE.

WE WERE ALSO LISTENING TO THE RED SOX/YANKEES GAME ON THE WAY UP AND THEY WERE, LIKE, ADVERTISING MCDONALD'S RIGHT, AND SAYING HOW SMART IT WAS TO GET THE $1 MENU AND I WAS HALF ASLEEP AND WENT "I DON'T TRUST ANY FOOD THAT IS ONLY A DOLLAR UNLESS IT'S, LIKE, A SIDE OF CHIPS." AND MY MOM REACHED BACK, TOOK MY HAND, AND WAS LIKE "I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. SUCH A SMART GIRL."

NO, REALLY, MY LIFE IS A CARTOON OF EVERY MIDDLE AMERICAN'S WORST NIGHTMARE, AND EVERYONE THINKS I AM JOKING.

DUDE. THOSE LITTLE HONEY STICKS ARE BOSS, OKAY, DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFERENT. THEY USED TO GIVE THEM OUT AT MY TEMPLE ON ROSH HASHANA! ALSO APPLES BUT NOBODY EVER ATE THE FUCKING APPLES, WE JUST CLUSTERED AROUND THE LADY WITH THE HONEY LIKE THE TINY LITTLE SUGAR FIENDS WE WERE. SHIT. IS. DELICIOUS.

ALSO DUDE I AM HUNGRY FROM HEARING ABOUT WHAT YOUR GERBILS EAT THE HELL IS THAT ABOUT

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

MY GERBILS ARE LITTLE GOURMET FUCKERS, IT IS TRUE.

DUDE HTE HONEY WAS DELICIOUS UNTIL THE END WHEN IT WAS LIKE YOUR SPIT PLUS THE LITTLE BIT OF HONEY AND IT WAS ALL GROSS.

[shiroi-ten.livejournal.com]
