Random Cute Things

It’s a beautiful morning, Beautiful morning

Dressed up in summer and tied with a bow

Let’s be courageous and face tiny dangers 

Let’s climb those fences With signs that say “don’t” 

Beautiful man I’m a beautiful woman Find simple pleasures wherever we go

It’s the simple things That make us feel at home

Whenever you see blogs labeled "Random Cute Things" you instinct is to run away and I totally encourage that. You should be very worried, especially since Self Storage is very serious (not really) business and should never include random cute things. But oh friends, we must indulge every once in a while. Besides, do not lie, you secretly love random cute things.

LM is revving up for rendezvous numbero dos with Spencer, the car-less wonder. He is going to take a bus to our house to pick her up. I'm not sure how you pick someone up for a date via Montebello Transit, but Evangeline and I ruled it as romantic in the Benny and Joon sense of the word. I actually can't wait till this kid shows up on our doorstep to pick LM up. I can do what I did to Script Soup and threaten to kill his family if he messes with her.

Speaking of Mr. Script Soup--got a text from the One and Only Chimes Gossip Blogger today during dinner telling me my numba one player Mr. Soup won the game via skype--coach code for Mr. Soup confessed his recent romantic fascination with the cribbage boo to cribbage boo's face thru the computer. I did an idiotic victory dance in the kitchen which made LM and Evangeline stare at me awkwardly. I was worried, not gonna lie. I hadn't heard from Script Soup in a few days. No update. No clue if he'd chickened out or not. But according to the cribbage boo, the confession session found success. I congratulated them both via text, cuz I'm ganster like that. Soup says he felt a bit of a "nerd" (his word, not mine) telling her BUT WHO FREAKIN CARES! Good luck holding out seeing each other till January, guys. I wish you the best of luck. I wish you many a happy via skype cribbage matches and a short 8 months.

As for BTS-girl, she had date #2 with recent film grad Chris while in San Diego. Any man willing to drive 1.5 hours to where you are to take you to the midnight showing of UP is a winner--this statement mutually agreed upon by LM, Makeup Girl and myself. Man alive film dept! Everyone's hookin up!

As for myself, don't you worry. I have my prospects. Part of me is cynical. If anything happens, it will indeed be just a little dose of summer lovin 09, especially since I don't think I've been capable of falling in love with anyone since I was 16. But you never know. As of right now, I'm not sure I have the emotional energy for this sort of thing. I feel old even though I'm not; I'm the prime of life for heaven's sake. I need someone to go out dancing with. I need someone to make cool art with. I need someone to proof-read my writing.

I need to call Liz.

Lesson Learned: cribbage: it's quite charming
