In reply to 10 ways to have fun: road trip - kk, zh, and » daisym, posted by octopusprime on June 25, 2004, at 10:19:56
daisy needs a fun list..
just 10 though? hmmmm.....10. killing the escort (yes, manual shift. good grief, i'm learning but it's not sticking!) on the same hill, from different directions, because i had it in 3 instead of 1. and not jsut killing it, mind you, but i'm tlaking rolling all the way down the hill, making it smoke because i keep gunning it, sitting in the middle of the road through 3-5 red lights. and i'll tell you what, not one sigle person honked at me. i think when a car is rolling backwards, smoking and getting very loud, and there's a girl waving her arms, people jsut smile and give me the right of way... i also think it's karma, for not gettign upset when people cut me off or slam on their breaks.. oh,i love karma and polite drivers!
9. i've made fliers for my own business. it's called 'sam and karen's summer services'. after getting the shaft from many, many employers, we decided it's time to take action. we'll start a mowing, painting, wallpaper removal and house cleaning business. we advertise as such..... (imagine a full color picture of rosie the riveter saying 'we can do it') and advertising as follows: We are two college girls looking for summer work. We have all the necessary equipment to get the job done. Give us a call if you want clean, honest, hardworking people working for you.' so, yes, we are banking on the perv factor, men who could mow their own lawns, but instead would rather watch 2 girls do it. forget real employment, this is the job for me!!! (and we had so much fun making copies tooo, even got a parking ticket.)
8. i was driving the other day and a cute, young farm boy passed by in his truck. he didn't whistle or yell, instead he blew me a kiss.... my friend and i decided it was sweet, not filthy. oh, it was so cute!
7. bourbon! everyday is a good day when you have bourbon dear!
6. i took my dog to the vet (wowsa! over $200! glad i don't have to pay for it!) he weighs over 80 lbs. he's healthy! heartworm test, negative! and he was a good boy! the vet was cute, told me he golfs with people from my hometown. i wore all black, and he mentioned it was a bad choice.
5. i have been looking very cute lately! that's always fun! (i've been dressing up for the job search and looking nice. that not only makes me feel better, but also makes me feel empowered in a way. so nice, that i couldn't hand my resume out at a business because the person taking it was a girl.. so someone's jealous!)
4. i sunbathed yesterday (no lectures about skin damage please). i talked ot my friend on the phone and told her that sometimes i find ways (in my back yard) to not get tan lines on the top. she was astounded, but i realized i almost feel bad for the people who *think* they might see something, then laugh because they don't. well, i can take a joke too! and i'd laugh if i heard them laughing, so we could all laugh at my nonexistant breasts. it's all in good fun (and most people can't see my backyard anyway, it's well hidden.)
3. i sat at a coffee shop and treated my friend to lunch. we just enjoyed some 'free time' and talked. a girl walked by with a sign on her back that read 'it's my birthday', but it was hard to read. so, i walked up to her (halfway down the road) and asked if today was her birthday. she looked surprised and said it was. i wished her a happy birthday and she smiled.. imagine, a stranger telling you happy birthday.
2. also, at the coffee shop, i saw a bull dog walking by with a cute owner. i got up to pet the dog and the owner said 'she's a jumper' i laughed and told him i'm used to jumpers (my dog is huge and jumps). i played with the dog (thought about getting his number) and asked if she was nursing. apparently she wasn't but she looked like it. it's fun to talk to people. it really is.
1. planning this road trip has been very fun. i was supposed to take one today, but my friend backed out, due to financial reasons. but, next weekend, i'm going with her to my mother's side family reunion (and my friend always want to meet the people that 'gave' me my qualities), a wedding reception (where i asked the bride and groom if i could get naked and they said yes!!) and my birhtday (yahoooooo!).. oh, if this week was fun, imagine next week!
daisy, hope that helps you see the fun that's out there.. even the small things are fun dear. you jsut have to make them that way... a few more, for the road..
i found an old mix cassette. i popped it in and it has all sorts of music on it. pumpkins, soundgarden, marvin gaye, beastie boys (hey, if it's gonna be this kinda party...), stone temple pilots... all sorts of things i had forgotten about until i played the tape.. it inspired me to...
call my best friend, jsut because she loves smashing pumpkins. we had a long tlak and i cheered her up, which led to....
me feeling even better! so, my good mood went to fantastic and has stuck ever since. i was dancing (egads!) while washing dishes and cleaning, which lead to....
a happy old man. i have been searching everyday for a job, and cleaning the house.
so see, when kk's happy everyone's happy. it's contagious....
