Google knows that I like to make myself cry all the time.
I boasted about my seahorse-shaped silly band that Rigo gave me. It’s not just any silly band guys, it glows in the dark. Be jealous, it’s perfectly okay.
So then I guess she’s been reading facts on the internet today and this is the conversation that literally happened less than five minutes ago:
Mom: Do you know the first state that silly bandz first boomed?
Me: Ummm.
Brother: She’s going to tell you so just say you don’t know.
Me: I…don’t know.
Mom: Alabama.
Me: Huh.
Mom: Would you like to know the second state that silly bandz boomed in?
Me: Sure.
Mom: New JERSEY!
Me: Wow, that’s really interesting to know, Mom. I don’t know what I would do without that information.
Now she’s telling me about the creepy history and facts of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Maybe I should go to bed and once again smile with glee at my wrist glowing in the dark. (Did I say again? Yes.)
Can I marry her?
Guys, I dunno, it’s a bust, it’s a fold: If I try to avert aforementioned overload, I feel so left out when my friends are going crazy ‘bout Laughing Baby* Ninja Cat.*
It’s so easy getting caught in webs, like the enticing, Machiavellian, “Charliee, Charliee, come with us to Candy Mountain!”* We junkies for the meme have watched so lovingly for the last decade and a half as our growing pet, the Internet, has shown whom we can love: Biebers* and Doyles * and now ”ancient” Homestars.* I dreamed a dream of one great dance performed completely on eight treadmills…*
When I try to enjoy Chronic(what)cles of Narnia* in my own home, still I’m distracted by other stuff – then, once again, Kanye interrupts:* “Imma let you finish, RZ, hang on for a second…” But - too late, Kanye - I drink your milkshake. I drink it up!* I’ve moved on posting status updates for awareness:* “blue” no, “tan”, no “black” – I just keep changing ‘cuz I never guessed the choice would go so public in its naming. I feel funny!*
Stilll, count me in for the rickrolling. * Keep me here, always, overloading… this in modern life is our new Oregon Trail™.* ‘Lose’ is to ‘success’ now what Win is to FAIL.* -RZ
