Stream of Consciousness Friday

Hi guys! TGIF! I am currently at work (shhh don’t tell!) and found myself without minds to mold students to tutor, so thought I’d give a shout out to my all my lovely ones out in cyberspace. I debated on what I’d write about and then I thought “ya know, I’m really not feeling a post on health stuff today!” Does that ever happen to you healthy lifestyle bloggers? You just really do not want to talk the 3-W-A (what, where, why I ate) or do the whole scale-shame thing or the BMT (bitch, moan, go on tirade) thing? LOL. Hmm I think I am having more fun coming up with acronyms than actually thinking/writing. Typical. Anyway, I thought I would try something new and give you my week in review (because my life and opinions are *oh so exceptional and important* see Wikipedia entry on generation Y here) in a stream-of-consciousness way…

So this week has been the usual slave slave slave toil toil toil (must be my class on imperialism talkin’ + my closet actress whose prone to exaggeration). But I’ve gotten through the week, completed all my assignments and chose to sacrifice a social life and sleep to do it. Hey, it happens. I would feel more sorry for myself, but whenever I want to I conjure an image of a stunned Taylor Swift and I am immediately brought back to Earth. Speaking of Earth, from where in hell does Kanye hail from? Oh I think I just answered that. Speaking of Kanye, here are some situations of mine he could gladly interrupt:

• when being lectured by a parent
• when getting pulled over by a cop
• when being hit on by a perv or slime ball (‘cuz otherwise, it’s ok! LOL j/k!)
• when a solicitor comes to the door or a telemarketer calls
• when someone is calling me out on my b.s…publicly
• whenever anyone, particularly a significant other I’d rather not quarrel with, says, “We need to talk…”
• any awkward encounter involving seeing someone outside of the element from which i know them (am i the only one who gets weirded out seeing a professor at a coffee shop and knowing they actually have a life and world outside the classroom? weird!)
• any awkward encounter involving an ex-interest, a stalker, a frenemy, etc.
• when i’m in line at the grocery market and some stranger wants my advice on his eating habits
• when a professor calls on me to answer a question i don’t know the answer to
• when I’m being hypnotized or manipulated to do evil by a sorcerer, witch or some other mystical being (unless it’s Edward Cullen, in which case, manipulate away
• when i’m about to eat peanut butter straight from the jar, eat a cookie the size of my head or generally indulge in any binge-like behavior

Just thought I’d throw it out there, Kanye. If you’re gonna be a jack ass, at least be a useful one. Speaking of being inappropriate, did you guys catch The Office last night? Oh Michael and his rumor mill…too hilarious. That show never ceases to make my life happy. Am I the only one who has a major crush on Jim? How lucky am I to have my own real-life version?

And on that corny, gushy note, the other day I was wondering if everyone calls their significant other “babe.” I mean really. Are we all that unoriginal? I used to wince every time I heard someone call their significant other “babe” (I was like what do we all revert to pigs when we enter relationships?). Then I became that person and all you hear is “babe” this and “babe” that with a sprinkle of “baby” and some random splatterings of “love muffin,” “smurf,” and “emu.” Don’t ask. Don’t judge.

If we’re on the topic of not judging…let me preface this with the fact that I am totally 100% for body acceptance to the Nth degree, which is why I am way concerned that no one has mentioned how utterly famished and emaciated the majority of the models in Fashion Week looked! I was scanning some of the designer clothes, stealing ideas getting inspired by outfits I could put together from my thrift store visits and I was shocked! Has no one else noticed this? Am I the only one who thinks sticks and stones should stay associated with childish come-back statements, not with real-life people marching down the runway? Wait, no, of course, I’m not…see the gorgeous Crystal Renn.

Wow. That ended up being a bit in the BMT category listed above, eh? Oh well!

I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend! What’s on the agenda? How many of you blog, or have blogged, from work?  What situations of yours could Kanye interrupt at any time?

<3, The Cranky One
