Non sequitur:
Every day I wear this bracelet that my friend Steve got me for my birthday. It's from Tiffany, of course, because I'm fancy and I need fancy jewelry. Well, not really. I'm pretty unfancy. Anyway, I also wear a pair of amethyst plugs in my ears that he gave me a couple of years ago. (If you don't know what plugs are, go learn something.) All the other jewelry that I wear daily was purchased by yours truly, because I like to give myself presents. So what does it mean when I wear all this stuff that a boy gave me? Steve thinks it means we're engaged, but since he hasn't proposed, I don't think it's official. Actually, now that Jean-Luc himself is single again, there's some serious competition, as I'm pretty sure that Patrick Stewart's impression of Jean-Luc Picard is better than anyone else's on the planet.
On an entirely unrelated note, I kind of regret posting my opinions about baseball now. I'm not like most baseball fans who get all rabid about how much they hate this team or that team. I do hate the Braves, but who wouldn't with that tomahawk chop thing? Really. But I recently saw something on someone's blog (and this is someone whose blog I really enjoy) that made me really consider never talking about it in my blog again. Basically, she was just ranting about how much she hated the Yankees, but in her rant she said "I hate their fans". See, I might hate a team, or want them to lose, but automatically hating their fans? That's just too much animosity, even for me. I can hate someone who cuts me off in traffic or kills someone I care about or throws a dog into traffic or shoves my friend, but I am not going to hate some random fan of some team that I don't like. When my team loses I root for other teams. Hell, I root for teams in the NLCS and I'm not really fond of the NL at all. But whether I'm a fan of a team or not, I don't accuse their fans of being retards. I don't tell people who are fans of any team, even if I dislike that team, that they suck and are sub-par human beings. But that's what people have been telling me lately, and so I've decided not to discuss that shit anymore. I'll add sports to the old adage about not talking religion or politics with friends.
And on yet another entirely unrelated note, I am making my final preparations to go to Ireland and England. I'm really looking forward to this trip. It's a much-needed, long-awaited vacation. Plus, Ireland is the land of my people, and I always feel like I'm going home when I go there. I'll try and blog while I'm there, because I know that you are all just sitting by your RSS aggregators fucking dying from anticipation of my next brilliantly insightful and witty post. Try not to actually die, though. I don't want that shit on my conscience.
Scott + me = BFF!
