Me:  Hi Friday Lovers.

Alienmeatsack: Hey back! Friday FTW :D

Me: Right on. I feel like drawing that.

Alienmeatsack: Draw it! I'm a muse, use me :D

Me:  Ok. I'll draw myself as a ___________(pick an animal).

Alienmeatsack: Wee, I get to pick something. Ok, how about… a racoon? :D

Me: Racoon it is. Please stand by.

Alienmeatsack: I'm still standing (by). :D Can I sit now please? :D

So....what kind of animal are you?

The Tinkle FAIRY!

Meet Kim, inspired blogger at MentallyInked.com and also known on Twitter as @MentallyInked. I've been following Kim since I first got on Twitter, like two years ago. She always makes me laugh, and she's the kind of friend who won't hesitate to give you a virtual Heimlich if you should choke on something on the internet. It can happen, right? Also if you need to be reminded to drink water, Kim will help you out.

There's a lotta reasons to drink water. I don't know them off by heart but I do know that it keeps me hydrated, keeps the headaches at bay, and keeps the plumbing moving along as it should. We're pretty lucky to have access to clear, clear drinking water, on tap. Not everyone does.

But if you drink a lot of water, there will be consequences...you will have to go pee. And so Kim has an alter ego: The Tinkle FAIRY.

Dear Kim,
In recognition of the work that you do, I want to thank you by drawing you TWICE. Because:

1. I love you, even if you've never tried Orangina. 
2. You are helping people in need.
3. You have a cool knickname.
4. Whenever someone tinkles, they will think of you. And that makes you kind of like a celebrity.

So there you have it folks! If you know about why people should drink H2O, or any tips on not getting caught too far from a toilet, please share here!

Drawing A BLANK.

My fingers were itching. I wanted to draw something, but I couldn't think what...

Turns out I was already drawing a blank.

High-5 to @ThatIsSuch for this particular suggestion.

The DEAD RAT Story

WARNING: There is a dead rat in this story.

I was trying to tweet this experience last night, and there were many, many interruptions from several insolent tweeps parading as grownups (you know who you are). When I was finally allowed to finish the story it occurred to me that dang, I shoulda blogged the sucker instead. Put it down to a lamentable lack of blogger experience on my part. Luckily for you someone out there convinced me I could still blog about it.


















It went something like this - I'll try to map out the rude interruptions without naming names:

Today I walked out of the nice, clean, perfect Apple Store and saw a dead rat in the road. Squished. Bleah. #incongruous

*INTERRUPTION*

Back to the dead rat story; so it's laying on the road right next to our car. In fact I have to actually step over it to get in. #Bleah

*INTERRUPTION*

So anyway I'm like, ew, yuck, don't look at the dead rat JC, in my head. But of course I don't look away in time. #imprint #brainburn

*INTERRUPTIONS*

So AS I WAS SAYING just enough of the dead rat laying on the asphalt at my feet burned into my retina to scar me.

*Multiple INTERRUPTIONS*

OK. So back to the DEAD RAT story. I was completely traumatized as the sight of it seared an image into my brain. I had to do something desperate.

*INTERRUPTIONS*INTERRUPTION* INTERRUPTIONS*

I DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE BUT WOULD YOU ALL MIND IF I FINISHED MY STORY ABOUT THE DEAD RAT?

*APOLOGIES*

Ahem. So there I am, my mind reeling from the sight of this poor, squished, dead rat, lying on the pavement, drying out a little in the sun.

*SILENCE*

With its bald tail at an awkward angle.

*SILENCE*

And its little ears, all flat...

*DISTANT COUGHING*

So I got into the car and thought, "holy guacamole. WHAT can I do to cleanse myself of the TRAUMA of seeing this dead squished rat?"

*Then someone cracked a JOKE. Three people actually.*

HAHAHA! DAMMIT LET ME FINISH. Please.

*Another JOKE*

Can I finish?

*APOLOGIES*

So I'm like ew, gross, bleah, dead-squished-rat, and I suddenly realized the only thing I could do was... (wait for it)

*At this point one particular tweep was most insistent that 'nachos' was the answer.*

No nachos. Sit down and zip it.

*SILENCE*

...(wait for it)...

*SILENCE*

...was to go straight home, get online and buy a Macbook Pro. #deadrat #theend

* * *

Now I'm a PC/Windows gal all the way. So what do you think that has to say about Apple's marketing?

PS. This story continues HERE.
