Pre-Big: Split Screen Sadness by John Mayer

I called because I just need to feel you on the line
Don't hang up this time
And I know it was me who called it over
But I still wish you'd fought me 'till your dying day
Don't let me get away


Post-Big: Over-rated by Gavin DeGraw

I just wanna give it all to you
I wanna share this with you
Make you mine and mine will be all yours
Whatever you want and more
What I'm anticipating
Everything else would be over-rated
Baby it's for you
It's all for you

- useless information department -

Why Schott's Original Miscellany is such a perfect gift for me:

I was reading a little section that lists the Directors of the F.B.I. and the first thought that crossed my mind was "wow, there are a lot of Williams on this list!" 6 out of 16, to be exact. (Yes, I counted.)

In the last section called "Specifications" which lists various useless information about the book itself, I found this:

% of F.B.I. Directors named William: 37.5%

- feliz navidoo -

Had a blast at Mike & Youngmi's 2nd Annual Christmas Party, where 3 of the following things never happened:

• I spent 75% of my time at the party lying down on the floor.
• I did a drink & dial/faux call double-whammy.
• They let me play with the children despite the fact that I was obviously, um, "under the influence."
• I was viciously attacked by a 4-year-old.
• I requested Kenny G.
• I forced everybody to listen to David Sedaris' Six to Eight Black Men.
• I had a conversation with a professional poker player.
• I ate more food than all of last week combined.

- i'm feeling fat and sassy -

I wore this to work today because I felt like being a butt-head. (Un)fortuantely, nobody noticed.

- 취중진담(醉中眞談) -

그래 난 취했는지도 몰라 실수인지도 몰라
아침이면 까마득히 생각이 안나 불안해할지도 몰라
하지만 꼭 오늘밤엔 해야할 말이 있어
약한 모습 미안해도 술김에 하는 말이라 생각지는 마

언제나 네 앞에 서면 준비했었던 말도
왜 난 반대로 말해놓고 돌아서 후회하는지
이젠 고백할게 처음부터 너를 사랑해왔다고

이렇게 널 사랑해
어설픈 나의 말이 촌스럽고 못미더워도
그냥 하는 말이 아냐

두 번 다시 이런일 없을꺼야
아침이 밝아오면 다시 한번 널 품에 안고 사랑한다 말할게

자꾸 왜 웃기만 하는거니
농담처럼 들리니 아무말도 하지않고
어린애 보듯 날 바라보기만 하니

언제나 네 앞에 서면 준비했었던 말도
왜 난 반대로 말해놓고 돌아서 후회하는지
이젠 고백할게 처음부터 너를 사랑해왔다고

이렇게 널 사랑해
어설픈 나의 말이 촌스럽고 못미더워도
아무에게나 늘 이런 얘기하는 그런 사람은 아냐

너만큼이나 나도 참 어색해
너를 똑바로 쳐다볼 수 없어
자꾸만 아까부터 했던 말 또 해 미안해
하지만 오늘 난 모두 다 말할꺼야

이렇게 널 사랑해
어설픈 나의 말이 촌스럽고 못미더워도
그냥 하는 말이 아냐

두 번 다시 이런일 없을꺼야
아침이 밝아오면 다시 한번 널 품에 안고 사랑한다 말할게

널 사랑해
이렇게 널 사랑해

M: Did you just have a moment?
Me: I'm having moments all over the place.

- balle de fromage -

One last bulleted post, I promise. (You try blogging coherently while chained to an on-call pager.)

• My horoscope from yesterday, which proved to be prophetic: "Someone will want to spoil you tonight, so just forget about it being a school night. Instead, indulge yourself. You're way overdue for a binge of total hedonism, aren't you?"
• More giggle-inducers from last night:
  - "I'm glad I make you stupid."
  - "It's always Christmas on my chest."
  - "It's decorative *and* functional."
• On the top of my movie shortlist: Closer. Any movie that features Damien Rice and Jem in its trailers is worth seeing.
• What's a worse date movie than Maria Full of Grace? Secret Things, that's what.

More verbal gems from my weekend with Big (again, all sans context):

1. I want to be a pelican.

2. This is a good place to hide a dead body.

3. Smooooooth!

4. Do you want to be corrupted?

5. Popcorn!

6. I'm just an innocent little victim.

7. Maybe I could dress you up as a teddy bear.

- 30 pounds of cute in a 5-pound bag -

Top 6 Things overheard at Chez Big on Friday night that may or may not be dirty:

1. You're right -- you do smell like pot a little bit.

2. Monkey just bit me!

3. You remind me nothing of Paris Hilton.

4. I didn't realize I was in the line of fire.

5. These are small but functional.

6. Are you laughing at my pumpkins?
