Bloggin' around

Stuck in the 6th circle of Hell’s laundromat on my birthday, I was greatly cheered by these wonderful people who kept me smiling and laughing the entire time. Twitterfolk, I salute you.

Follow these folks because they will cheer you up when you’re at your bitchiest…

@Dolanite was the first to make me smile - “Don’t forget to wash your birthday suit. Happy Birthday!”

@GorillaSushi sent me this gem: “I just sent a birthday clown, chocolates and a bunch of balloons to some random laundromat. I’m feelin’ lucky about this.”

@PatHandley sent me wishes all the way from freaking Kansas!

@jkeeten made me giggle: “I will have to attend a NASCAR event for my birthday to get the great material u are getting doing laundry.”

@mathcat - “Happy Birthday! Also, happy clean laundry day! Remember to eat something cupcake-like, okay?”

@starsgoingbleu - “Happy Birthday! Maybe the laundromat has a secret margarita stash in the back?”

@raptordactyl - “Happy birthday! May something wonderful befall you at the laundromat! But, uh, not fall *on* you, ‘cause, ow!”

@leslietane is investing in my retirement plan of sitting in a laudromat all day - “And now you’re one year closer to that! Happy Birthday.”

@susanimate has a disaster plan ready - “Happy Birthday! I’m so sorry you have to live tweet doing laundry, but you will have clean clothes for puking on later.”

@polarbear_ should open a theme park - “Happy Birthday! PRO TIP: Even on your birthday, they won’t let you ride in the dryers (at least in my personal experience).”

@nhmagpie - “Happy birthday! Everyone else already sent a funny b-day greeting, so I guess I’m stuck supplying the vanilla ice cream.”

@Natty_O_Patty had a birthday that day, too! “only the coolest people have a birthday on August 2nd (that would be me and you) Happy Birthday!”

@blueeyeddeb is the sweetest person on Twitter. Hands down.

And I cannot forget these amazing people:

@Sara_Kathryn - I work with Sara. She’s a real person and one of the few coworkers I don’t want to stab! GO SARA!!!

Sunday is the day I usually reserve to do chores. Shopping, laundry, dusting, dog-washing. Tedious projects such as these usually bore the shit out of me, but I love Sundays. I really do, mainly because of Mystery Science Theater 3000. While in college, MST3K was on the SciFi channel on Sundays. I had to to work at a library on Sundays, so I would tape the episodes while I was at work. After work, I would watch the episode before bed and laugh and laugh. Because of this, I had quite a collection of MST3K tape, and actually became close friends with people who sought me out when they found out that I had them. About a year ago my house was struck by lightening, frying my VCR and rendering the tapes useless. It was a sad day as I pitched them into the garbage. I may have even sighed in regret as I tossed the black tape with “The Screaming Skull” written on it in silver Sharpie in the trash. I still watch MST3K on Sundays. I don’t actually own the DVDs, but rent them from Netflix. I put them on in the background while I putter around, vacuuming, laundering and chasing my dog down to force him into the tub. I still find them hilarious and I’m sure my embarassingly loud laugh echoes out of my house. Unfortunately Netfilx doesn’t have all the episodes available. I’m still trying to track down Devil Fish. These were honestly an integral part of my childhood and early adulthood. My siblings and I would watch the show in our pajamas, eating Cheerios and lounging on the couch like it was a Saturday morning cartoon. So, when I first got a Twitter account, I loyally followed all of the MST3K personalities with accounts. I also started following quite a few celebrities. Since then, I’ve found that the everyday people on Twitter tend to be the funniest and have since stopped following celebrities. All except for those Mystery Science Theater 30000 people. Not only are they superstars in my eyes, but they are also downright flipping hilarious.

This is brand new and seems like it would, in fact, be easy to understand. However, I log on to this thing I’ve had for a few weeks now and that has just sat here neglected and unused. It was something that didn’t initially interest me. I needed to feel like I had that Twitter thing down before I threw another thing into the mix. I apologize now in case I start fucking shit up and doing everything wrong. And with that I will end because, in reality, once I get this thing figured out I’ll come back and delete this post, forgetting I even made it.
