"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Did you make that up, Hec?

Nah, I wish. I love cheetohs and libidos.

It's from the Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll. I think it was Rob Sheffield. The chorus might even be better: "And Justin and Cameron / were chopping up a line / Singing, 'Hit me baby one more time' / Hit me baby one more time."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I already did most of it, but here's the rest:

I can't remember if I came/When I read about her latest flame/Britney up and changed her name/The day the music died/So bye-bye, Mrs. Kevin Federline/Our libidos and our Cheetos will forever be thine/And Cameron was choppin' Justin a line/Singin', Hit me baby, one more time/Hit me baby, one more time.

What is even happening?

I just want new towels.
This is not a woman experiencing George Bailey-like angst over the road not taken.
Heh. I want other stuff, but it's all for the house, too. Although I *never* ask for house stuff for presents, even when I want it for presents. I do this, to protect the dh from someday giving me a vacuum cleaner when what I would have wanted was bling. Also, he was pretty bling-giving early one in our relationship and marriage. He has four sisters who love me, and who are bling pushers.

The only reasons I can think to get married is that my rent would go down and adoption would be easier. That is a fairly crappy outlook.

We marrieds aren't doing enough to push the sex-on-tap angle.

Right now I mostly want to get married for the towels. And etc.

S-i-l S says that everyone should have a bridal-type shower, married or single, every 10 years. I think S-i-l S is like unto a genius, in this regard.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I figured out I had 4 days in the last month where I was positively perky. The rest of the time.....

Me in a positively perky mood should be considered a harbinger of the apocalypse. Today, I will settle for not making death threats out loud.

I do not have a hot job, apartment, or boyfriend. I do not have bling. There's a hotbling hog out there right now bogarting my stuff, man.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

We marrieds aren't doing enough to push the sex-on-tap angle.

How about the will-make-or-at-least-go-fetch-dinner angle? That's the best bit, so far. It's greatly expanded the repertoire of eating choices. And I don't even have a TomW!

Word.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I'm all tired, even though I had eight hours of sleep, and my entire body is hurting me. It is making me cranky and unfocused, and I really have to write at least a scene for my class, and have it finished in an hour, tops. And I'm so unfocused, I'm having a hard time remembering their names, let alone what I want them to do.

I would like to get in the car/license, good job, apartment/home, boyfriend/husband, and bling lines, please. Also the motivation and pain-free-living lines, as well. Thank you.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

For reals.

And I don't even have a TomW!

Well, sadly, (for everyone who is not me) there is only the one. But, I could certainly go out on a limb and say that you have your own piece of Teh Awesome! (and he does too!)

I like the whole food preparation thing, and sharing of crappy chores thing in general. Also, the lolling around in bed smooching or reading on the weekends.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

you want bling? I got bling for you. For Christmas, my mother gave me a diamond cross. Aside from being a raging heathen, I haven't worn gold since college. and frankly, any religious iconatry with diamonds is TACKY.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Vortex, I suspect you may be getting a pimp cup for your next birthday.

Just a hunch.
