So why are all these things in my refrigerator Just go away YOU DON'T LIVE THIS LIFE2:10 PM ♥: um what xD that is the best thing i have ever heard2:11 PM my house doesnt live the mamosa life
Yesterday, I went to a dinner party and found quite brutally I least enjoy any party, and I am a terribleguest when I don't turn in regularly my homework to my PreCalculus class, but perhaps nothing has been more influential to my weekend than this article I read of Gene Weingarten, in which he and his feminist friend analyze Romney as a date.
That shant be too hard, me girl I thought (I awoke today from a dream about Hawaii, which reminded me of pirates, and I was thinking in pirate). I thought. I didn't think too much, because what I wanted to do was show Gene Weingarten I could do what he did, and I could be a funny feminist friend, and should I ever run for president, boy would I show a great date. I was on my phone (hence all of the capitals at every single shift), and Gmail was my ticket to an editorial.
A good friend of mine was my sharer of conversation. She's an ENTJ, and I am an INFP. Our friendship exists in poles. Our agreements rest in our discord. Take that, feminist Gene Weingarten friend.
This is the resulf of my test. It was a test, after all, because all I wanted to do was disprove a Pulitzer winning author, because really what he did wasn't that hard. Oh, was it. I wasn't thinking for all the damaged little brain I have, and I wasn't really writing. I was being a 15 year old girl, and that is not a Pulitzer winning anything, unless it's a disheartening picture that looks like a printed case for a tattered childhood or perhaps a play featured in the Royal Tenenbaums.
Later, at the second party I attended of the week, hosted of my house, because I really do live that life, I was reading The Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly to my three year old cousin. Perhaps I should've toppled Weingarten with my perfect analysis of its disturbance to children. I'm sure that hasn't been done 90008907 times. I'm surprised I didn't get nightmares from that lady's psychosis, and for her persistent eating, and because there were talking animals, I think instead I laughed. That lady's psychosis transferred to produce mine.
Anyway, what I find most appalling about that book is the moral: You shouldn't swallow a horse. It's too simple, and that's not half of the issue! The moral is you shouldn't be crazy, and eat too much, and trust your death in the voices of ally cats! But that is the moral. You shouldn't swallow a horse because you shouldn't be crazy, and you most certainly shouldn't eat too much, and you ate the horse because you trusted your death in the voices of ally cats.
The moral of this chat is: You are not Gene Weingarten. Obviously, I am not a middle aged man with a funny mustache and a shiny Pulitzer on my non existent resume, and I haven't ever written a very adorable book on old dogs. Obviously I'm a fifteen year o ld girl with more tracks in my mind than hot wheels. I think I'll create a rap lyric of that one day; however, it's true. I can't talk about something deep and make it funny, I'll talk about something deep and make you uncomfortable. I think if I ever ran for elections, I'd be a horrible date, and I wouldn't even get my last page in the Washington Post Magazine of a feminist and a man with a funny mustache making an essay of me.
I'd choose a zombie over an alien. Zombies are predictable, and humans have a natural fear of the unknown. What I didn't know was that Gene Weingarten is a genius, and I tried to disprove him the same way an explorer in the 1600's would declare an inhabited country his own. I don't know you, so I'll just take you over, go away. My house doesn't live the mamosa life, we live the one of respect. And that's what I've got for the last page of the Washington Post magazine.
* I didn't actually think this, I wanted to make an editorial of not being able to, and redundancy, and about one of the Editorial Gods.Ya dig?
Also I'm so sorry the color is white blogger did that idk why
