Confession: I've been listening to this song (Sur le pont d'Avignon)/watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnoDG2skFko for the past half hour. It was stuck in my head all night. I'm hoping that maybe listening to it til I'm tired of it will get it out of my head.... On the other hand, it's so cute I don't know that I'll ever get tired of it...

Confession: I watched a dozen Eric et Ramzy videos after this video yesterday. So odd. So funny.

Connfession: I love love love Eddie Izzard and feel horrible that every few months or so... I'll completely forget he (not just him... any entertainer that I don't watch on a regular basis, in general) exists. This song reminded me I love him by some weird video after video after video connection.

Confession: I wish I could remember the videos that I had to go through to get to the Izzard videos. I know I could just do a search for Eddie Izzard but I'm interested in the path I took to get there in the first place.

confession: after watching the video nikki posted, i am infinitely amused by the fact that, like in every high school across the country, the boys are acting like morons, and the girls have their hair in front of their faces and are looking uncomfortable and occassionally laughing at the boys.


i have SO much nostalgia for high school right now.
you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

I've been waiting a year-and-a-half for this, but now that it's so close, I feel so very far from ready.

For those who have missed the meaning behind my subtle confessions, here is the real thing:

I'm pregnant.

Tyler's gonna be a big brother!! I'm 10 weeks along, puking my guts out miserably, but in October, another puntini will be joining the ranks! You all have 7 months to prepare for an overload of cuteness!!

Confession: I had a -not crush...admiration?- a certain type of admiration for a Pwebber until he posted something about a week or two ago. Then it turned almost immediately to disappointment. He reminds me of this disappointment every now and then.

My confession is that I got way too smug way too fast about the fact that I already knew that. Wow.

I have that haunting sensation that there's something I ought to be doing for tomorrow's class. But I'm tired and I'm going to bed. And then I'll get to class and be terrified and behind.

Confession: I expect to get in trouble at work tomorrow. I also have another one of my planned blow ups scheduled for tomorrow. I know things went wrong tonight, I really don't care much, and I anxiously await getting him saying that to me and then replying "well maybe I'd be a little more motivated if the company didn't owe me 1200 f****** dollarsl"
And then he'll get all defenseive saying either that it's not his fault (and it isn't) or that I need to do better regardless. And I'll really want to ask why, just lay right into him, because this is f****** rediculous.

Confession: I know I'll pussy out and probably not even say a word.

[edit]
And I did. Pussy out, that is.

I have discovered that I am scared of most doctors and all dentists. I almost fainted yesterday because of having more than a few blood tests and not enough blood. I had not felt that bad in that way since december. That was a version of hell I don't want to go through again for awhile. I just wish that these things would not freak me out so much. Next time, I'll bring someone with me. And now, I have to make some more medical appointments, not so enjoyable.

Confession: I'm consciously treating everyone I know like s*** because I'm pissed off at the world. Oddly, this has nothing to do with my family situation; but to do with their own actions, and the actions of what I associate them with (ie coworkers get associated with my employer).

On these same lines, however, I'm not doing anything unjustified. I take solace in that.

Confession:

I used to hate what I call the emo heart, you know...the "<3"...the I less than three you.

So I started using it to mock people who genuinely like it.

And then I became one of the people who genuinely like it, and I use it all the time with certain people.

Confession -- I feel really guilty having had two fieldwork sites make me offers when I'm around the people who don't have sites yet. I am actively avoiding these people. I was these people last year, and since this year apparently primo sites are seeing me as competent and desireable, I feel like a traitor, somehow.

I ate pizza. And it sucks.

I've been wanting it sooo bad lately. I knew it would give me heartburn, but my sister and toddler were eating it, and I wanted it, so I ate it. Little did I know how miserable it would make me. I want to throw up.
