Too.Much.Positive.Feedback.

Like 3 people have signed the guestbook in the past week, and about 3400 people signed it today. Okay, so that's an exaggeration, but it's pretty close! Yesterday there was 271 different hits, today, only 146. I'll take that, though! You guys are totally feeding my ego! A few people have written me emails about how they enjoyed reading my Literotica stuff, and the guestbook is full of people praising me. This makes me so happy, and it makes me feel like the path I've chosen in life, a writing career someday, is the right thing to do. While I'm here, I'd like to give a shout out to WrittenAnon for being in love with me. He has good stuff, go get you some.

I spent time with actual humans tonight. We had mexican food and studied. Well, they studied and I read my new Sexual Psychology textbook. My friends are nice Christian girls and here I am reading to them outloud about female circumcision. Sometimes I think I try to shock them, and I'm not really sure why, but it's not good. I let one of my friends drive my car, which made me mildly nervous, but it wasn't like she was 16 and just trying to learn how to reverse. She did well, and I was proud.

For some reason, a war has started in my guestbook. Everyone, chill out! Let's all take a deep breath and resolve not to talk about dead dogs anymore. It's okay, I understand, and we'll get through it together.

While I was getting something out of my car today, I twisted my head or neck in such a way that was quite painful. I'm not sure what I did to it, but it hurts right now, and that sucks ass.

I have realized that I have a fascination with chocolate chips. Like, hardcore. Today at the store I bought two chocolate chip bagels, two boxes of chocolate chip-peanut butter granola bars, and a whole package of chocolate chip cookie dough. Last week, I went to IHOP and got chocolate chip pancakes. This might need medical attention, I'm not sure. I don't exactly think it's the healthiest thing I can do.

I am watching an old Saturday Night Live with Faith no More! They're singing Epic! The one with the fish that dies at the end and all that crap. Oooh, how I love old Saturday Night Lives. For some reason, whenever I see one from the early 90's, I really miss one of my old friends, like, way too much. She used to spend the night every Saturday, and we had so many inside jokes, and had so much fun, and I haven't heard from her in 3 years. I was always in awe of her, and always wanted acknowledgement that I was her best friend. When we were in high school, she told me that I was the only person who she could really talk to. That made my whole year. Ahhh, old friends.

I've just spent the last 3 hours doing data entry for BB. He works for a museum company or something doing catalogs for data entry, and I help him out. I was translating french works of art into english. Oh my god, how much fun can one possibly have doing this? The answer is, people, tons and tons of fun.

I've been trying to get the most out of living alone while I still can. I sat here this morning almost completely naked, just because I can. I can't do that when my roommate comes here. Well, I could, but she probably wouldn't appreciate it. The only flaw with this is that I should probably hide my porn paraphanalia (Movies like "California College Students" and my big purple vibrator) better. Seriously, today, I was sitting there in my bra and someone knocks at the door. I knew I was going to hang out with my friends tonight, I just didn't know they were coming to get me! So they're banging on the door and I'm like, "Wait a minute! I'm putting my damn clothes on!" It was not good times. I'm just glad they didn't come in before I was ready, to see me in my bra hiding my vibrator.

Anyway, I'm sure that story warmed and soothed your hearts. Please don't show this entry to your mom, Brigadier, this isn't suitable for her! :)

I am GOING TO SLEEP DAMNIT!

More ring explanations, first. Tonight, I explain the ones I created.

BurpLovin I love burping out loud. It shocks people and they look at me like I just sat on their head. This is in praise of all the burpers out there that just want to be set free!

Ben AffleckThis was started because Dark-Kittieasked me to. And he's fuckin hot.

IheartAxlThis is self explanatory. I heart Axl. Always have, always will.

The Ticket This one hasn't started out so popular. No one has asked to join. The Ticket is a talk radio station in Dallas that I'm obsessed with. It's sports talk radio. Don't ask.

My final word for the day: Go visit Michelle and say hi. I'm sure she'd appreciate it.

Oh yes, it's time for another edition of Diary Talk, starring me, MyMichele.

I have had a pretty decent day. I shouldn't stay up until 4 AM anymore, it throws me off balance the next day. But regardless, it was still good. BB and I went to see American Pie 2, which was hilarious. I enjoyed it throughly. We also had lunch at Hooya's, which has the biggest burrito ever in the whole earth's atmosphere or something. For dinner, we went to the Wild Turkey, where I proceeded to:

1. Beat 10 other people at NTN movie trivia

2. Have my share of All You Can Eat fajitas.

BB (which stands for Boyfriend Boy, for those just joining this program) has a roommate who enjoys listening to cheesy guitar rock from the early 90's, like Joe Satriani and Dream Theater. I'm not one to put down anyone's music, since I'm obsessed with a band that hasn't put out an album in almost 10 years, but it's kinda hard to listen to at times, but I must, because that is my duty.

I have friends. I just want everyone to know that because it's important. 3 different friends have called me today, and I hung out with people yesterday, and tommorow I am going to a wedding to see more friends. I know I've said this before, but it's hard to get used to. Last summer, zip. Nobody was calling, nobody was asking me to their wedding, nobody was taking me to Tia's in the back of their old Ford F150. It is nice to have friends.

Something unspeakably horrible happened to me this morning, something so stanktaciously disgusting I dare not speak its name. Something so extremely gross, I can't even begin to explain. The only thing I will say about it is that I will never eat chocolate chip cookie dough again.

Oh, and yes, it rained today. How very exciting is that? I missed out on most of it, but when I left Denton today, it was covered in a circle of dark clouds, but outside of Denton, there was nothing but sun. When I was driving, I could see lightening in the distance. It was a nice thing to see and such like this.

It's only 10:00 but I think I'm going to bed soon. I had a killer neck ache today and the unspeakable horror of this morning just really threw my day off. It was still good, like I said, it was just wrong at some points.

BB sent me a "wink" on Matchmaker.com today. That made me giggle, because that's where we first met (4 years ago, when it was merely a BBS) and he hardly ever flirts like that. It made me smile.

Remember to eat your cereal with a fork and do your homework in the dark.

(If anyone knows what movie that's from, I'll send you a dollar. Seriously, I will.)
