An important stage in my journey of self-discovery

[squeequeg]

I don't need cats to be the crazy cat lady.



This discovery came about after I realized that, while having an evening to myself, I had said aloud such things as: "Fluff with fork! Fluff with fork!" (followed by uncontrollable giggling), "MERV GRIFFIN!", and "Mock me not, foolish cheese bag!" among others, as well as singing the Discourse Song. If I had cats, I'd make marginally more sense.

This sounds very much like an evening with Seth.

On further reflection, that probably doesn't reassure you at ALL.

yay! Seth can be a crazy cat lady too! Get this man some kittens and ovaries!



...as you can see, the evening has not made me more sane.

Yeah, my first thought on reading your entry was, "But that's normal, I say things like that aloud and sing non-existent songs all the time when nobody's around. Or when people are around but I forget."


Get this man some kittens and ovaries!

Hey, I'll fry *anything*.

What an awful, awful burrito.

Foooooork!!!
FORK!
FORRRRRRK!!!!


TANG!

...No matter how hard I scrub, the crazy just doesn't wash off.

That's because it's not water-soluble. What you need to do is rub bacon on it.

So the end result would be sen_no_ongaku in a bacon food coma of crazy?

[stealthmuffin.livejournal.com]

I'd say yes, but it's hard to distinguish that from the status quo.

If ever there were two women who could be crazy cat people with or without the cats, it would definitely have to be you and your evil twin... or are you the evil one? I can never remember. ; )

It's my week to be evil. We switch.

I've chosen to embrace the wacky, rather than trying to fight against it.

I think in the end that's really the only way to go. Plus, it makes for interesting posts.

You could have a baby instead of kittens to be home alone with. Recent quotes from our household:

"Did you have a fart? Did you have a fart? Yay!"
"du-bu-du-bu-du-bu-du-bu-du"
"Listen! The birds are singin' Well, they aren't singing _here_, they've probably gone somewhere else to sing. Somewhere _special_!"

Babies are probably better audiences than cats. They might not always respond, but they haven't yet learned the "look of withering scorn" that cats always seem to have for me. Then again, maybe I just don't know enough babies.

Have you seen the Milk & Cheese cartoon "Merv Griffin"?

[stealthmuffin.livejournal.com]

I have vague memories of it. It's entirely possible this was the source of my outburst.

The Discourse Song? How could I have gotten half-way through my graduate education without having heard of the Discourse Song? Send me the text please?

[stealthmuffin.livejournal.com]

It, um...it's to the tune of "Trogdor the Burninator." Mostly consists of heavy-metal screaming "DISCOUURRRSE!!! DISCOUUUURSE! DECONSTRUCTING ACADEMIA! DECONSTRUCTING PROFESSORS! DECONSTRUCTING ALL THE STUDENTS IN THEIR THATCHED-ROOF COLLEGES!!!!" Yeah. Fun to randomly sing into, say, a sibling's voice mail, but not actually melodic.
