…mindless, you get. Or maybe I’m just tired and excited and ready to get this effing move done already, please and thank you. Why is it that it always seems like I’m waiting for something? Over the past couple of years, I’ve done a lot of waiting. Waiting for a baby, waiting for a hysterectomy, waiting for Bill to get a job, waiting to move, waiting for the world to change…wait, that last one? I haven’t been waiting on that; John Mayer has.
To him, I say, “Don’t hold your breath, pally…wait, maybe do go ahead and hold your breath because I’m not sure I really like you that much, although you do crack me up on TMZ with the fake cell phone calls…okay, you don’t have to hold your breath.” Because we all know that as hard as I would try to appear normal, my ADD would come shining through…kind of like Barry Manilow who totally comes shining through, even now. (By the way, are we sure Barry’s straight? I think not, but hell, what do I know about Barry Manilow? Besides every word to his greatest hits. Shutup. You know them, too.)
But that’s not the point of this post. I’m not sure this post actually has a point now that I think about it, though. Checking…nope, no point. Other than to whine a little about having to wait on this move, and to wonder will the waiting ever stop? Will there come a point when I’m just suddenly caught all unaware, “Hey, I’m not waiting on anything”? And don’t anyone say, “Yes, when you’re dead” because that thought might be more depressing than the fact that I’m dancing to Copacabana in my chair. And maybe singing along.
I’ll just stop posting now.

MoFM - See, I should never have discovered the fact that I can set things to publish later than I actually write them. Because at 2 am ,when that post was actually written, admitting my weird Barry Manilow love seemed like a good idea. At 9:45 am, when I’m responding to your comment (and have had coffee), it seems like it might have been a colossally bad idea, as does letting my ADD loose during the writing. :grin:

As you know, I suck at waiting for pretty much anything. But you’re almost there and to get Taoist on your ass, accept where you are and what you have and you’ll stop wanting and waiting because you are where you’re supposed to be so there’s nothing to wait for. *nods*
But that’s all good advice when I’m not the one having to take it. LOL
And dude, teh Manilow rocks my socks. I love his music. I’m very nostalgic about it. It goes back to my childhood and he does write the songs that make the whole world sing, dammit!! LOL

Hate that Mayer song. Oh, and “Say what you need to say” song too. Actually, I just don’t like him much.
But Barry???Yep, I own the greatest hits album and sing it really loud when I am all alone.

d - Uh, yeah.
Kendra - See, I don’t like him much, either, but that stupid TMZ show constantly has footage of him doing shit like making hostage demands on his cell phone or discussing the prescription strength jock itch medicine he needs. Cracks me up.
I have no shame - I will sing it really loud with anyone around. It’s kind of sad.

You know how when you read someone else’s blog and they put some little tidbit in there that you toally go “AUGH! I say (or do) that, too! Kindred spirit!” OK, so mine today was the fact that you called John Mayer “pally”. I call people that all the time, in a sarcastic tone of voice. I could hear you saying it in my head and it made me smile.

Lindsey - It’s my favorite insult that’s not an insult.

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl…what?
Waiting sucks. But look atit this way, if there was no waiting there’d be nothing to look forward to?

Seems like I’m always waiting but I think it has to do more with my paranoia than anything else! lol (They’re all gonna laugh at you!)
I likes me some John Mayer and Barry Manilow! John Mayer is freakin’ hilarious and sarcastic. Love that. Can’t help it. Refuse to apologize.
“Well, you came and you gave without takin’
But I sent you away, oh MANDY!”
lulz couldn’t help it. ;)

You do not even know how much I love Barry.
I’ve seen him in concert and I’d do it again.
And for that, I’m sorry.
But I’m a fanilow, and I’m just going to own up to it.

Noel - With yellow feathers in her hair, and a dress cut down to there, she would merengue and do the cha-cha…oh. Sorry. But most of my waiting is stuff that will be good when it happens. So the waiting feels like torture.
Celeste - Well you kissed me and stopped me from shakin’, and I need you today, OHHHH MANDY!! Yeah. It’s like I have Barry Manilow Tourette’s. I can do nothing but sing along. I’m compelled.
Deb - I’m jealous you’ve seen him in concert. I might be a little ashamed of that. But I’m also on the Barry Train, so it’s good to know I’ll be in good company.
