After work I went to the Ghetto laundy doing place. On Valentines Day. The Ghetto.
The one cool thing about doing laundry on V day is that there was NO ONE THERE. It was kind of weird but great. The scary weird guy that smells and always tries to help me unload my car and then afterwards asks me for 50 cents to make a "phone call" wasn't even there. So that was kind of awesome. The way-ghetto laundry mat worker lady's trucker husband came and brought her valentines dinner, and they ate it off of a washer. I thought that was kind of sweet, they looked happy together.
I put my stuff in the washers and went to the store to buy some food for my pet snail. Speedy has been eating fish food for like a week and he's a little pissy.
So of course since I was doing laundry on V day by myself (a little wretched here btw) I decided at the store that I should at least buy myself some chocolates. A BOX. And a new book, and a filter for my snails aquarium so that I will never clean him again. Call the animal help people on me now because speedy is only getting water added to his tank as it evaporates for like the next 6 months or so.

You have to love those little slices of America. Seeing a divorced dad having dinner with his daughter on Valentine's Day, a couple sharing a meal on a washing machine, snail filters and chocolate....
The psychologist in me wants to analyze you, but I'll just let you go with a warning. Get some fish!
I have two fish thank you. Although, they are those fighting fish so they have to be kept in seperate tanks so they don't kill each other.
Also I can't put speedy in with them because they eat his antenne.
Ok and I have two cats.
Analyze away.
OK. Lets break some of this down.
1. You have a snail. A small reclusive creature that keeps his home close... really close.
2. You have fish that must live alone.
3. You have cats. Territorial animals that prefer seclude high perches.
I would guess your Myers-Briggs Personality type to be ISTP or ISFP. Your smart, but prefer the quiet of your home sans company.
But you want to know a secret...
come closer.....
closer.....
I think your pretty cool!
I am singing "In the ghetttooooooooo" to myself - and I don't think I like it. Good thing I didn't use that for my American Idol audition.
Your snail is named Speedy? That is hysterical.
Almost as hysterical as the couple eating off the washers. Did they use a towel for a tablecloth?
Nobody told me that Sgt is a psychoanalyst. I really do like to stay home quite a bit. And honest to God, I do like to be alone. Infact, living with my BF is about to drive me bonkers because he is ALWAYS THERE. Last night I used taking a shower as an excuse to get away from him and read a book in the bathroom. He will sit on the couch across from me and just stare at me and smile. It's not a "he's crazy" thing, it's just that he likes to look at me during commercials because he says I'm beautiful and he loves me and can't get enough of me. Mushy bullshiter. I can't hate him or get pissed at that so I just leave.
Ooo ooo, can this all be because I grew up an only child and my parents worked and I was always alone? (they left me food it was all good) I've always kind of hoped it was that and not that I'm just a weird introvert. But if a weird introvert is a happy weirdo what's so wrong with that?
Cruiser thank you so much, no actually what I mean is you Beotch I'm going to be humming that song all day now. No, no tablecloth, that would have been cool. Or if they would have used old Mickey mouse sheets or something. Oh well I guess we can't have it all. :)
@LS: If you talked to them, they would probably say I was psychosomething...
I wouldn't think going to take a shower is a good method of escape. Sounds like your BF is really happy to be with you tho. I find myself gazing at my wife like that from time to time. It wierds her out too.
@CM: iPod shuffle just played a song by L.A.D with a clip of "in the ghettooooo"
Sgt - But was it Cartman's version?
Cartman is a God.
No, it wasn't Cartman, but I think I've been inspired to remix that into something!
The world needs a dance version of Cartman's in the ghetto! Or maybe some fusion rock? I'll have to see what comes out of my lab.
