28 Days Since My Last Post; I Suck At Blogging.

I've had several ideas for a new post over the past couple of weeks. I could say that I hadn't the time to blog because I have better things to do, but, really, who am I kidding? I don't do anything important.

I did see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, though. That was pretty important.

Here's a couple of the things I thought of posting but then didn't because I'm kind of a failure.

1. Turbines Are Also Creepy.

Much like sunflowers, people are not often scared of turbines, and so they give me a funny look when I confess my fear of them. However, let me assure you my fear is completely rational.

First of all, look at the size of these things. They're bigger than your house; they're bigger than a telephone pole; they're bigger than the average evergreen tree. They're monstrously large. Why? To intimidate you to your very core.

Now, maybe you've never seen a turbine in real life, but if you were to look up a video on YouTube or some such thing, you may be shocked by what you'll find -- they move. Yeah. These huge, horrifying creatures of man move. Their enormous limb-like propellers spin at an eerily slow speed, as if to taunt you with the possibility of someday uprooting from the ground and sauntering over to where you live and crushing you with their girth.

Every time I see one of these terrifying things spinning, staring at me, blinking its little red light, I can't help but imagine it morphing into one of the strange pod-things from the film War of the Worlds and wreaking havoc all over the place.









2. The Weepies.



This song kind of melts my heart and soul. Enjoy.

Roommate and I

Oh God.

Me: "What should I write about?!"
Roommate: "I don't know! Write about how weird weeks are."
Me: "I'm going to write about our weird-ass relationship."
Roommate: "Don't call it a relationship."
Me: "That's what it is!"
Roommate: "It's a friendship!... When I said 'friendship' just now, I imagined a ship with a flag that said 'friends' on it."

Anyway, Roommate and I have a pretty strange relationship. Let me fill you in on just how strange we are. Let's start at the top.

We are all of the following:
- High school best friends
- Roommates
- Dating brothers
- Future sisters (hopefully =])

Let's elaborate.
- Roommate and I met the first day of high school. Though we were almost complete opposites, we had the exact same class schedule, so we quickly became friends in school. After we started really talking, it turned out that we had the same sense of humor, which I guess is all that really matters, right? After that, high school became one giant fit of laughter for the two of us. We've been best friends ever since stupid health class, Freshman year.

- Summer between Junior and Senior year, Roommate decided that she didn't want to attend any kind of university, but that she'd probably just go to community college because she didn't like school very much. I half-jokingly told her that she should go to college with me and be my roommate. Here we are.

- This Guy and I started dating my Sophomore year (his Senior year) and we've been together for two and a half years now. His brother is a couple years older than him and hadn't had much luck with girls. Even though Roommate had a boyfriend by the time I got to know a little bit about This Guy's Brother, I managed to make them date each other eventually. They met on their own at a party, but I had basically been pushing the idea on her for many months prior. They've almost been dating a year now.

- Someday, maybe, I'll marry This Guy and Roommate will marry This Guy's Brother and we'll all be one happy, weird, family. We talk about it like it's the craziest thing ever (because it is). Our children will be cousins. I'll be her children's aunt. How fucking strange is that?

Anyway, I just thought I should enlighten you guys a little bit. That's just the surface of it all, I guess. I mean, you'd have to spend a lot of time with us to understand the special relationship we have. Gay, I know. Let me end by quoting Roommate a few months ago.

"You wanna hear the gayest thing ever? It's nice that after all this time we can still make each other laugh like we did Freshman year."
