Amendment, if I must

Wednesday, December 21, 2005

The titles of my posts almost never have anything to do with what I am actually posting about. They are usually phrases that come to my mind as a joke. I don't explain them. They're usually only funny to me. I don't care if no one else understands them.

So, with that said, no Dan, I did not call Christina a ho by titling my last post "HO HO HO" and showing three pictures of Christina. If you really must know, it's a joke from this video of Larry the Cable Guy. My mom showed it to me because she thought it was hilarious. Which is ironic to me.

She came up to me the other day and asked what "Git 'er done" meant. So I showed her some quick websites that had LarryTCG. She hated him. She thought he was disgusting and rude and there were plenty of redneck poop and fart jokes to help reinforce her hatred too.

Now she shows me this...I just thought it was a little funny. Not worth explaining to anyone but worth putting a title in so that I can giggle at it myself. I'm sorry if anyone was offended by the sheer randomness of it.

My final thought: Dan, get your head out of the gutter.





... Alright I lied about the final thought.

On that note! Just for stupid sake, let's go through those funny little titles that never seem to make sense and I'll explain them all, obvious or not.

"We knew this would happen sometime" - I stole this from Jame's comic website. Thank you James, I thought it was clever and appropriate.

"Sinead O'conner" - This one was about me cutting off all my hair.... google it if you still don't get it.

"For the love of Japan" - well, alright so this title isn't exactly enigmatic but it was appropriate (which is more than I can say for my other titles) I hadn't begun the trend of randomness and I might not continue it either. It really depends on my mood.

"Nose Picking: When a Tissue Just Isn't Enough" - I don't remember where I had heard this but it's not very original though I thought it was cute. Maybe this is too much information for the net but I have inherited one of my dad's habits. I've begun picking my nose with a tissue. What's funny is that I feel justified by using a tissue, but it's still nose picking.

"Narcissism" - I have my tendencies :)

"Omens" - Again, not very original.

"Can be Chicken or not Chicken" - Now this is the best. I really love explaining this one. I was sitting in my 7:30am Magic, Ritual and Belief class. My teacher was babbling on about different types of religious acts. He began with symbols. He said, "Symbols come in a variety of different forms. For one, they can be verbal or non-verbal". This made me wake out of my morning daydream haze and think for a minute. They can be verbal. Ok. They can be non-verbal. Ok..... THE HELL? Why even say that? So, like, they could be anything. They could be written. Or not written. They could be clothing. Or not clothing. They could be Chicken or not Chicken!!! I hated that teacher.

"I speak good... enough" - I hope no one thinks I speak like this. It was almost painful for me to write 'good' instead of 'well'. But that was the joke for me. My mom reads my emails and thinks that I make such horrible mistakes that there is no way that I could be a good English teacher. The thing is that emails are supposed to be informal and I just write in a stream of consciousness. At least with my blog I spell check. You'll see mistakes. I don't care. I'm not trying to teach anyone anything when they read this.

"Why, Morrolan, you sexy beast" - heehee *Blush* I like Morrolan from Steven Brust's Taltos Novels. He is naturally my favorite character.

"Lost at Sea" - This is the song that was my current favorite of the group Eisley which I was recommending in that post.

"がんばって！ニーナちゃん！！" - It say's Ganbatte! Ninachan!! Which in Japanese means good luck Nina or do your best Nina. For those of you who do not have a Japanese language patch for windows (or any other os) probably only see a bunch of boxes. Sucks to be you.

"Time! Time! Who's got the time!!" - From Alice in Wonderland, the Disney version. When I was in high school my best friends Dawn and Kiley used to quote that movie, and others, in every conversation and we would laugh hysterically for hours.

"Peace (^_^)v" - A cute Japanese face making the peace sign. That's all.

"What Jung Really Said" - This really was random. I didn't know what to put for a title and I had a scroll down window of all the things I had searched for since the last time I reformatted my computer. This was the title of a book I was researching for my Sleep and Dreams class in the Fall 2004.

"Becca and Tucker I think it was..." - This chick (the one in the picture) was on a Disney TV show when I was younger. She was the main character, Becca(I think), and her best friend was Tucker. They lived right next door to each other and would talk on the phone while looking at each other out their windows. It was really cute and Tucker was really funny. I wonder what it was called... I should look it up on IMDB.com

"I wanted "Nina-isms" as my url, but someone already stole it" - If the post worked the way it was supposed to, then you should have been sent to the whitehouse.org which had an article about G.W. Bush. This reminded me that I wanted my url to be Nina-isms. But someone already took it.

"Dear Strong-buttons, Let's not mince words...I love you guys!" - I don't go to Homestarrunner.com very often but everyone who does knows that the strong bad emails are the best part. Whenever he checks his mail, he always says something witty that has to do with the website. This is a quote he made that I thought was cute. I don't remember what made me think of it at the time.

"Mars Power Make Up!" - In Japnaese, this is what Sailor Mars says when she transforms.

"Gobbledy Gook" - In my mind, this phrase reminds me of Thanksgiving and how I feel after eating mass quantities of food. I don't actually know what it means but I had to google it to figure out how to spell it. Google: Better than spell check any day (^_~)b

"If you had a time Machine, where would you put it?" - I was at work when I hear in the back of my head, Kevin asking Adam just this. It was the perfect amount of random. This was also the day that I introduced the gang to www. Orisinal.com. It helped to make a slow day at work turn into a fast paced competition to see who could catch the most bees in a bubble! Good times.

"He kissed her, little by little - Wicked pg 124" - This really stuck out at my while I was reading Wicked. (btw, strange book, excellent ending) The phrase really said "He kissed her, he kissed her, he kissed her, little by little by little." This was because the guy that was kissing her was a munchkin. So, he was really short which they brought much attention to seeing as that was his most unattractive quality. I wanted to put in the whole quote without the page number but this way, I feel like it makes me look like less of a pervert. See, I know what it means, and no one else was supposed to. So reading the phrase as it is, just looks odd…in a bad way.

“Rum Balls…but why is the rum gone?!” – Not one of my best titles. Christina and Dan were making rum balls while I was in the bedroom blogging. I don’t think of myself as a loser, but I speak only for myself.

Which brings us back to my latest blog title. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
