Thank You and Goodnight

Ok, it's June 15. This will be the last post of Feeling Kinda Blog Today. I'm going to keep it online until I get it all transferred to my computer, so you will notice the blog slowly dissapearing backwards, it already sort of has.
Anyway, this has been a riot. I started this blog three jobs and four apartments ago. It's been nice to have a place to dump all my random thoughts and observations, to keep my friends updated on what's going on, to have strangers yell at me. I originally started this blog so that my newly found birth family could get some insight into who I am (a crazy person), but it quickly became more about having a place to write everyday and staying connected with all sorts of people.
I'll miss blogging but I think it's important to live a little more offline now that I'm pushing 23...(shhh, let me have my moment). I'm still hooked on Facebook if you want to keep up with me there.

Thank you, everyone!

(Oh my God, I'm being so "Evita" about this, I should be posting from a balcony somewhere.)
But seriously, thank you.

So long.

It's been great.

I will miss you.
You take care now.

Goodbye.

I don't know how to end this, maybe it would be better if I ended with a beginning? Here we go:


So, I saw the craziest thing on the bus the other day...

Lunch

This is what happens when two theatre people try to figure what to have for lunch...ps, these instant messages were sent while sitting in cubicles right next to each other. Also, I just recently learned how to change people's names on gchat so that is why Daren is Daren-Ray. Today there was a French woman in a meeting in one of the offices next door, we used her as inspiration.

Daren-Ray: wha ezver dooo uze mean?

me: le pockete

Daren-Ray: no le jimmie Johnz

me: Le jimmie Jean

le jimmie jean val jean

Daren-Ray: 24601!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

me: I'd like to order the number 24601 combo...with a pickle

Daren-Ray: its only a loaf of bread

me: and a candlestick

Daren-Ray: with a dead whore

me: on the side

and a dirty orphan

Daren-Ray: the little girl is extra

me: ok, so it's a loaf of french bread, a candlestick, a dead whore, a pickle, a cookie and a dirty orphan.

got it

it's the pickle and the whore that make it a bargain

Daren-Ray: true

me: "The pickle and the whore" by Brooke Allen

Daren-Ray: when can I stage it?

me: it's easy to stage a dead whore

not so much a pickle though, they are divas

"It's Easy To Stage A Dead Whore" The Daren Leonard Story

Daren-Ray: Love it

Sigh, sometimes it takes us a very long time before we actually eat.

People Watching

I'm at the Starbucks on Belmont and Clark with my friend Fifi. She's working, I'm people watching. I was bored after eating cookies and watching "Extreme Home Makeover" tonight so I hopped on the Clark bus and met her here. Mostly I've been playing on Facebook and people watching. I love this corner. Here are the people I have seen so far:

1 Drug addict singing "TOMORROW! TOMORROW! I LOVE YA! TOMORROW

2  Gays argiung abuot where to go next weekend. "Milwaukee! C'mon, it will be fun!" "But I HATE Wisconsin!"

1 Ex boyfriend on a rickshaw. Asshole.

1 Drunk chick with no shoes getting a piggy back ride from a guy who might be her boyfriend, or might be a total stranger. 

40,000 Cubs fans

11 Irritated people waiting for the Belmont bus

0 Hot single straight men. 

Greatest Cosby Sweater

These pictures are hard to make out, I took them off the TV. But it's Bill Cosby, on the Cosby show, wearing one of his infamous sweaters. Only this one was the best one I've ever seen him wear. It's bright blue and covered in pictures of various hair combs. Why? No, don't question the sweaters.

JUNE 15: End Of An Era

On June 15, 2009 I will have had this blog for 4 years. That is sort of an accomplishment because my friend told me that is longer than the average lifespan of a blog.

So, it is bittersweetly that I tell you, I'm shutting her down on June 15.

It's not that I don't love you. I do. It's just that as I edge ever closer to 30 and with some changes coming up in the future, and with the advances of Facebook and Twitter, I'm not only out of stuff to talk about but I also would like to live a little more...offline.

So one more month kids. I'll try to write often and then we'll have a big online goodbye party for FKBT with virtual cake.

A Deep Conversation About Chicago Theatre

Daren: I really want to see the show "Red Noses".
ME: Yeah, I keep hearing about it. Um, is it about Rudolph?
Daren:.......................no. (starts laughing uncontrollably) Are you being serious?
ME: No. Kinda.
Daren: No, it's about...um...I think it's like Patch Adams meets The Plague.
ME: Sounds fun.

Blackout.

Men or Yorkies?

The other day I found myself browsing through the mens on an online dating service I'm on. It was frustrating. I got bored and started looking at pictures of yorkies instead because I love yorkies. But then I realized that I had abandoned looking for a boyfriend to look for a dog, so I went back to the online dating service. But then I realized that you can shop for a boyfriend the same way you can shop for a dog -- find a cute one, read about it, make sure it will be loyal and doesn't pee on the floor, and that creeped me out. So then I went back to looking at yorkies. But then I realized, I don't have the time, money or ability to keep a yorkie in my apartment. So I went back to looking at men. Then I wondered if I have the time, money or ability to keep a man. So I just went to Facebook and commented on the updates of all the friends I already have.
