JUST ONE OF THOSE POSTS



+ the other day i saw a girl wearing a shirt that read "I HEART DC." my first thought was, "oh, hey... I LOVE DIET COKE TOO!"... my second thought was... "okay i am an addict... but i can quit at anytime!!!"


+ i like to yell at cars when they are being driven by stupid drivers. if it's an old lady, i usually yell "okay grandma, make the turn already." if it's hard to tell the gender or age, i will pick something from their car that singles them out: "okay jersey... step on it!" or "toyota, get out of the fast lane already!" imagine my frustration, when the other day a completely unmarked car with androgynous person was in front of me being dumb. i started to yell out, but i was stone-walled... no make or model, no insignia either... the license plate was a mass plate and i couldn't tell for the life of me if it was man or woman... i had nothing. so instead i yelled... just yelled... no words... just a barbaric yelp... lame.

+ a big "A" plus, plus for the way i handled the bloody mess that walked through the door crying yesterday. russell was nailed in the mouth with a hockey puck resulting in a barrage of tears and gushing vitals. kept my calm, cleaned up the mess, got bloodied, made the victim laugh as i took him to a mirror to inspect his battle wound, mr. happy ice pack to make all things good in the world... crisis abated... toot the peggy horn!

+ carla is in the hospital again. i am sad.

+ okay so i started a little early this year... i started listening to christmas music yesterday... get off my back!!! really, it wasn't my fault, i was channel surfing because i had forgotten my ipod at home and oldies 103.3 was playing christmas music... i went to switch stations but BING was singing "white christmas" and i just couldn't help myself.

+ scissor sisters sold out in two days and i didn't get tickets. bummer. probably for the best. i was a little worried that they would recognize me as the girl that got into a fight at their park city concert and kick me out. i love you scissor sisters!

+ i've decided to become an anti-pornography activist. i HATE the industry. it makes me sick. good people whom i love so much have been negatively affected by it... i don't just hate... i LOATHE. a few days ago, my good friend colleen, who works for a non-profit record label called PROJECT THINK DIFFERENT (www.projectthinkdifferent.org) sent me this atrocious editorial that was found in the boston metro titled-- "porn: it just might cure what ails us." this insidious article stated that in order to have MORE equal rights, there needed to be more porn. WHAT? EXCUSE ME?? what's worse, it was written by a woman! appalling to me... i just LOVE how women are totally jumping on the pro-pornography wagon. so now i've decided to be one of those women with a sign picketing in front of the playboy mansion... i will tell the women inside that they are beautiful and worth loving and that they don't need to show their bodies to know that!!!


+ it took 2.5 hours for my bed to warm up last night. and i have 6 blankets on me. my room is also known as... antarctica!


+ stupidest bumper sticker ever:
in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act
i hate bumper stickers


+ i also hate animals dressed up in real people clothes. it's freaky.


+ turkey, turkey, turkey in my tummy, tummy, tummy. just two more days!


+ mar and i are doing a christmas cabaret show. she calls it... christmas with peg and mar: these are more special times... i like to call it... a christmas craptacular! whaddya think? we have some wickedly awesome stuff... so if you're in the area... come give us a look-see. dec. 14 and 16


+ colleen and i were looking in the DSM IV (diagnostic and statistical manual for mental disorders) the other day and we were trying to diagnose me... i'm mental. then we thought it would be fun to randomly assign each other disorders from the book. she went first: i flipped through, stuck my finger in a spot and opened the book... to something she already suffers from... guess someone upstairs doesn't think she can handle anything else right now. we were laughing so hard we never got to me! i have too many of them anyway!


+ the girls and i are going to the rockettes and a really nice dinner for our christmas to each other... i am super stoked.


+ i live with someone who constantly states the obvious. but what about the sub-plot to life? don't you think it feels a little left out? let's try stating the obscure... how would that be? instead of walking into a room and saying "hey the t.v. is on." let's try "oh, wow... i can tell that there has been a huge fight and now the two of you are watching t.v. in an obviously awkward tension." yeah, that should spice it up a bit.


+ i miss my trips to turner


+ i have decided that sometimes dads just don't know how to console their sad daughters. they try their darndest... they give it their best shot. when that doesn't work, they resort to sports analogies and "telling it like it is." mine decides to say things like "peg, you need to keep your comments to 10 words or less." HEY, I'M CRYING HERE! and now i have to count how many words i use to describe my pain??? what are we playing the game TABOO? BUZZER... ah ah ah... you said a word on the list and you've exceeded your max limit... your turn is OVER! daddy, i know you love me, i know i'm verbose... but even you have to admit that the timing of that comment was a little off!


+ for rachel: love the pillow talks


+ COSTCO PUMPKIN PIE-- need i say more???
