Can you DO that in a stall?

Just as I was about to start this post, I noticed a stealthy predator lurking about... aka: Benny.


He was apparently trying to rid the world of dangerous vermin for lo... look what I found in his mouth. I'm sure we'll all sleep more soundly tonight...


GAH! Anyway, the little bird appears to be fine. He was perching and getting ready for flight, so I do hope he makes it. Oh, and you can notice my savage tan here as well...

It appears that I now like a new pop song. Not sure how I feel about the 'pop' part of it but this guy Josh Kelley has a bit of soul in there somewhere. And the picture in the link makes me think he might be a distant cousin of Trent Reznor; perhaps it is the pose. Hard to say. Either way, I like this song. I have a thing for voices and his sounds like a combination of syrup, smoke, and sawdust (yes, you heard me). I could attempt qualification of that statement but I won't. I just sense things a little differently at times, that's all. He mixes a touch of jazz, soul and (ugh) pop... and even a bit of corny 80s sounds on this track. Maybe it's because he's a sultry southerner that lends a hazy quality to his voice? Whatever he is doing in the beginning of the song... completely works for me.

Alright, so this is the point in the post where yours truly divulges something truly dumb. This is the sort of thing that you do when you are by yourself and think "Thank gawwwd no one was around to witness that!", then (as I'm doing now) you run and tell someone because it's just too stupid to keep to yourself. Ok, so I'm at work today and after drinking 2 large glasses of water, a large Frap and 1/2 a bottle of peach iced tea, I found myself doing the 'pee dance'. Considering that we weren't too busy I decided to treat myself to actually micturating (look it up) in a timely manner as opposed to the 1 hour delay I usually follow through with. Anyway, I'm sitting there, uh, basically minding my own business when I notice that my damn underwear are on inside out. How can this be? Did I not pass "Dress me 101?!" So there I sit, entertaining the thought of going through all necessary steps to right said wrong (in a stall, no less) versus leaving them in their present state of disarray. Grudgingly, I began the arduous process of making things right. Perhaps it was the fact that we can only afford one 1/2 burned out flourescent bulb for the entire restroom and I couldn't see. Perhaps it was the fact that I had to get up way before the sun (I think it was before the sun... didn't actually open my eyes until I was at work for an hour). Or maybe that I simply am an ass at times. I was about ready to strip and risk clothing (and parts of me) touching less than desirable places in that stall... and then, by some miracle, I realized that I had in fact dressed appropriately. If I'd have gone through the entire ordeal only to realize that I'd had them on properly to begin with... I would have been slightly salty. I need a personal valet; someone who can inspect me before I leave the house. Think they have those on ebay?

Aren't you happy you know all this pointless stuff about me now? On a different note, as I learn how to work my camera I will put up occasional pictures. I have a few in mind that I want to post, I just don't know if I have the courage to do it or not. And no, it's not 'that' kind of pic.... sheesh! I am LiVEwiRe.... wholesome and pure... heh... Anyway, I'm going to figure out this camera hopefully over the weekend, for the basics anyway. Should be a fun little adventure.

Perhaps it wouldn't be such a good idea to take that weekend job packing parachutes after all.

I'm sure I had a roaringly funny line to post about all that but I'm laughing too hard at kyknoord's comment !!!

Hey, listen, as long they weren't inside out...

Inside out underwear is simple one's lack of belief in the social/cultural pressure to conform.

Honestly.
It is. It isn't just that you were so tired getting up you'd fall into any clothes at all.

Micturate is an awesome word. I don't think I've ever heard it before, and I thought I knew most words involving bodily functions.

Your kitty is adorable. I used to have a cat that looked just like him, except my cat weighed about 200 pounds and couldn't catch any prey if she tried.

By the way, your hand looks lovely. Have you ever thought about being a hand model?

what a cute kitty! and what pretty nails! sorry i haven't been around lately ... why do i need a vacation to recover from vacation? oh and i perpetually walk around in inside-out roos. my shirt is usually tucked into them as well, unbeknownst to me but to the delight of all around (or those who get to see me in my underwear, anyway).

Hey, at least you were wearing underwear to wear it inside out, or not as the case may be.

Benny looks wonderful. You know with him around you will be well protected...no birds are going to attack you.

Now start posting those pictures. I want to see pictures!

Kyknoord - I'd have to agree! But times are tough and I might have to... just contact me first if you decide to skydive!

Carpy - Yeah, he's a funny guy alright. If you haven't - check out his blog as it'll have you laughing even harder!

Anne - Or if I had a really saucy reason to explain it...

Fence - It's Fence to the rescue! Can I hire you to explain me out of other situations, too?

Skrambled - I'm glad you liked my word; it is cool, isn't it? Benny would have annoyed your cat to the point of exercise (by running away from her)! Yes, that was my very own hand. I'm 5'9"... is that tall enough for a hand model? ;)

Justrose - benny is an adorable NUT! And did you mean his nails or mine?...lol They've just cooperated and grown nicely for some reason. Vacations always require a follow up vacation! Rose, we'd be a real sight together, wouldn't we?

JohnH - You are right, at least they were there! Yes, I was feeling threatened by that large and viscious bird. Good thing Benny was there. Hopefully by the weekend I'll get the camera really rolling. I'll try not to post the pics of the wall... the floor..

Heidi - That would be very risky in white scrub pants...lol! The nails were just one color there but often I do reverse french manicures in like, black and purple. It's one way I amuse myself! =)

Hehe don't worry about inside-out clothes. Don't you know that there's an old superstition that if you were inside-out clothes, you won't get lost? Something about the clothes confusing spirits out to get you.

Btw, Benny the cat rules. Of course, a bit overkill with the bird but still... ;-)

LiVEwiRe said...

Banzai Cat - That sounds like a good superstition to me! Benny is pretty cool, he's such a pain in the ass but I'd have it no other way! =)
