We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming.

I know, it's been a while since I've posted a lyrical blog title, but I still have 13 Going On 30 on the brain from a few weeks ago. You'll have to forgive.


I have often found myself doing the same thing. Except without the really expensive dress. Or the bod. Crap.

Anyway, I've been spending the last few weeks thinking about blogging, so that should count for something. I've been otherwise occupied with trying to say my age without coughing uncomfortably, threatening to burn couches at a moment's notice, and fiddling with blog and MySpace layouts. Seriously. You know it's sad when I get all jazzed about changing the colors on my template and renaming everyone in my Top 20, and I still don't do dick about posting.

I should probably take a hint from Lisa and keep the MySpace layout simple. But the colors are so pretty!

Jesus, this dry spell is getting annoying.

Anyway, I managed to get through the birthday with thankfully little fanfare. I got some nice gifts, one of the greatest of which was a picture frame with four Gator Football photos: one of Tebow flying into the end zone, one of Reggie Fuckin' Nelson breaking shit up during the Alabama game, one of Urbs hugging Chris Leak after the MNC, and a black and white one of just Chris Leak. Ben did an awesome job of picking out the photos. I'll have to post a picture of it here later, so you can view it in all its glory.

I'm all over the joint, as usual. I can't focus for shit. This is probably why I can't put together a sensical post. My head is starting to hurt. I'm going to go drown my sorrows in a glass of milk and a few Peanut Butter Creme Oreos. Don't fucking judge me.

"But where is this all leading? We'll never know."

Yeah, I'm thinking of doing the lyrical blog title thing again. Humor me.

I have to share something really quick before I feast on a dinner of potato chips and onion dip something random from the fridge.

There are many reasons my brother, the Sideshow, is the bomb, not the least of which is his ability to suck down large portions of food at an impressive rate, then bitch about how he doesn't feel that good an hour or so later. But right now, I am briefly going to talk about one reason in particular.

I was on my second break of the workday this afternoon, when I decided to pop in on said broseph in his office. We chit-chatted for a few moments while I worked up a plan of how to tell him about my minty-fresh new boyfriend (still feels strange typing/saying/thinking that word, but in a good way). Eventually, after he showed me the pictures of young Alex dressing up as a Reaver for Halloween (that kid kicks my ass!), the following occurred:

Me: Yeah, I need to tell you something.
He: What?
Me: Well, uh, I have a boyfriend.
He: Yeah? Who?
Me: My friend Ben.
He: Really? (holds out his fist for me to bump with my fist, which I do). Cool.

I exhaled.

Then we continued to pore over the pictures he was loading onto his website.

It's just a testament to how awesome my bro is. Given my history of being quite overprotective of him, and being quite vocal in my opinions of the women he has dated, I was unsure whether I should brace myself for similar treatment.

Luckily, there isn't anything about Ben that warrants that treatment (I am quite confident that he is exponentially more sane than some of the chestnuts Sideshow used to bring by for the family to meet, which, whew. Relief!) My bro didn't jump on my ass about anything; he just gave me what is his Sideshow equivalent of a celebratory hug, then gave me some advice on how to break the news to the folks.

Which, strangely enough, was exactly what I needed.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go brush up on the list of Hoff Rules.

"I've got this pain in my heart, that's all."

So, football-wise, this weekend sucked for me. BIG TIME. But, we perservere, and hopefully, in two weeks, I will be posting about a resounding victory at The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party(TM before they tried to wuss it down to sound less, well... alcoholic. But you get the idea).

For now, I am going to attempt to cheer myself with happier thoughts, as well as post the following, courtesy of Ben Folds Five. Just try to listen to this song without thinking of a bunch of muppets gleefully, spastically dancing around. Go ahead. I'll wait.



Oh, no, wait. I won't.

Now if you'll excuse me, I think I slept on my arm funny last night, so I'm going to remedy the soreness by sleeping on the other arm funny in order to even it out. Math is hard.

We now interrupt the regularly scheduled lyrical blog title...

For the best... song... ever.
Enjoy!



And don't say I never gave you anything!
