tbe pits of pity

"we are all victims of our own pity"

that's pretty quote-worthy in it self, or maybe it should just be left written in a moleskin.

we were told growing up by parents, friends, and Forest Gump that "shit happens"
but i think we always assumed we could deal with shit. we are familiar with shit. we encounter it everyday. i just don't think i can shit out anymore papers or tests that don't actually resemble shit.....said with a sigh, "shit."

i would apologize for the excessive and out-of-character cursing but frankly, i don't give a ---
you're catching on.

luckily this ish (now censorship begins as the clouds are parting outside my window while i'm also becoming more and more aware of my mother's frequent views when any blog or facebook update occurs).. luckily this ish, at least my ish, does not really matter. yah it adds up and creates a bad day often. (ish*ish(raised to the xth power)=bad day) but bad days are solvable with chocolates, girl talk, and fmylife.com (where other people's ish is actually really entertaining). so cured, right? sure, i mean...if every time we say "whatever," we actually mean it, than ya.

instead, i believe we have a couple options here,
1. typical quick fixes (girl version mentioned above)
2. pity party (mine include streamers to wipe my tears and lots of chocolate cake)
3. friend sympathy or even block sympathy parties (you can often find other friends on the 7 bus, who are also listening to 9 crimes by Damien Rice, staring out this window upon S. Walnut, in hopes a tear may fall as they replay the conversation, right answer they had switched and got wrong, or the misinterpreting text flirting over and over again as the song repeats the 8 minute ride)
4. take advice from one of two artists whose songs are sung by an annoying friend who doesn't understand how to handle your phone call. instead they sing to you. 1. "Dust yourself off and try again." or 2. "and even when your hope is gone, move along, move along" (kayla i see why you love lyrics so much)
5. write a blog entry that details the ideas of how to deal with the situations we encounter daily, in order to distract you from whatever just happened.

like i said, "we are all victims of our own pity."
so, dust yourself off and move along, i need to go pout in a corner.
