I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around all the changes that have occurred in the past two weeks. I've kept a steady stream of The Wonder Years and My So-Called Life flowing since Justin and Nicole left with Icarus. At least when I cry at the end of an episode of TV, I can then laugh about it pretty much immediately, because it's not actually my life. I'm brilliant!
Anyway, I have way too much positivity going on right now to dwell on the sad things. Not that I don't like dwelling on sadness- don't get me wrong! I will cry all day and all night, gladly! But it is October, after all, and this month deserves the star treatment. Why not pretend that life is an amazing movie right now? Well, maybe not when I'm trying to learn how to use a drum machine and making terrible beats for days (weeks) before finally getting the hang of it. But movies don't show everything. No one ever has to pee in the movies, and I'm certainly going to have to keep doing that this month. What I mean is that I need to at least have many moments throughout the day that are film-worthy.
1. Private dance parties. I'm working on a playlist now. It's going to be terrible/wonderful. I'm the most amazing dancer when I'm alone, and you'll never know if that's true. Unless I send you a video I make. It happens! Private dance parties also includes singing really loudly along to really embarrassing songs that I know all the words to- this, for instance:
Just kidding, I have no shame.
2. Reading really creepy books with candles lit all around me. Christopher Pike counts as creepy. I really want to read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for some reason. For "some" reason.
3. Dress up time, Clueless-style. I am so excited that I don't have to wear head-to-toe AA five days a week anymore. I actually love their clothes, but I need more freedom! I can't wait to wear all the beautiful clothes I thrifted in the past year but never wore because I just had to wear jeans on my days off. I'm so excited to experiment with different combinations that before were only a dream! For real! I'm being real.
4. Zero. Just being with him is the best thing ever, and everything he says and does deserves to be recorded and kept as a testament to the greatness of human history for all time.
I guess this means that right now, I'm the person in the movie before the long montage of being awesome, when I'm kinda just a blargh derping around loserville. "Charlotte," you say, "You'll always be that to me." Well, thank you, that means a lot. I'm cool with being a loser right now, especially since I just can't help it. I'm giving myself this week to set up our space for optimal excellence (yes, exactly, perfect). And then the awesome montage begins. But first, I need a lot more scented candles and at least one candelabra. And you know, of course, this:
"She saw the future. She saw death." Motto for life.

Dude. Yes. I was in such a shit-funk for the last two months, basically, but for some reason this fall seems like it's going to be bangin'. Also, I used to hate scented candles and think that maybe I'm allergic to them, but it turns out that maybe I'm only allergic to nasty scents in ugly containers, but awesome scents (Sicilian Fig, for instance) in awesome or understated containers are actually awesome. We've been sniffin' on these for a couple weeks: http://mixtureusa.com/.
I hope your changes are positive and that your dancing is productive (read: sweaty).
so good. Must dress more like clueless/anything from the 90's is good. For another example Empire records style is a total dig fest right now. Sadly this is not SO possible as im living from a suitcase worth of things...half of that suitcase being a sleeping bag and coat. But, this is equally as cool as dressing awesomely.
Anyway, it had been awhile since i creepily told you you were awesome. So, yeah, um, cool dude.
I may have secretly sang Crush, Crush, Crush on Rock Band by myself in the middle of the night before. It's cool.
You should read Jekyll and Hyde, and then you should read the H.G. Wells Invisible Man if you haven't. It's called how to think about science and the future as only terrible.
And another thing is that I had a stationary bike party with Roxette today, so beat that. It was a Joyride, indeed. Brinky really got down last night with Michael MacDonald. Brinky has less shame than you, but maybe a little more than the original Brink.
Got me, dude. Also, Lee is right about H.G. Wells. Read pretty much any Victorian science-fiction, and it is out of control great.
Just kidding, try Brian Lumley!
