Musings on Random Musings

Re: Musings on Random Musings

 

I started stabbing myself three weeks ago. By which I mean I started on insulin. The pills simply weren't doing the trick despite the weight loss. I was both terrified and elated by the decision. I've always been needle phobic, but I knew that i was finally going to get the medicine i needed rather than the ever frustrating "Well, see if this works."

 

I was very pleasantly relieved to discover that stabbing myself is absolutely no trouble at all. I literally cannot feel the micro needles going in. It's very cool. (I still don't like to watch it penetrate the skin, though.)

 

A funny thought occurred to me the other night: I actually look forward to injecting myself each night. That seems rather odd. I think it's for the reasons that I mention above, actually. One, I know for sure I'm taking a positive step. Two, every time I do it is a small victory. Even though I've done it many times now there's always that involuntary hesitation, that moment of panic as it hits me what I'm about to do. Each time I manage to overcome that fear I score a victory. These added together actually turn this horrifying ritual into a real positive for me.

 

Now, on to heroin!

 

You're asking Wonder Woman out? :think:

You mean this song?

 

No people you misunderstand. That is the song by Crash Test Dummies.

 

Once there was this boy who

Got onto the Internet and wanted in a game

But when he finally got one

He found that he no longer had pants on

He couldn't quite explain it

They'd always just beeeeen theeeeeerre

 

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

 

Then there was this girl who

Wouldn't go and buy her games from the guys in the game store

But when they finally made her

They saw that she was playing D20

She couldn't quite explain it

Her group had just dooooooone thaaaaaaat

 

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

 

But both boy and girl were glad

'Cause one kid had it worse than that

 

'Cause then there was this boy whose

Favorite hero turned into an a*****e in the comics

But when they made the movie

He went and geeked all over games board

He couldn't quite explain it

They'd screwed him up soooooo haaaaaarrd

 

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

 

 

 

 

FWIW, I love that CD :D

What was it about the '90s that led to the success of nonsense bands like CTD' date=' the Presidents of the United States of America, Geggy Tah, Blind Melon, and Weezer? Bands whose work wouldn't even be considered music by reasonable people?[/quote']

 

I'd almost guarantee the same thing was said about bands from the 80s, and the 70s, and the 60s, and the 50s, and...

 

Actually, I wouldn't classify any of those as nonsense bands, except maybe Geggy Tah. They are all definitely bands of their time, though.

Crash Test Dummies incredibly stupid single was crap' date=' but the rest of that album was undiluted awesome, and actual music, I promise.[/quote']

 

The main problem with their single was (a) It was overplayed. Way, way overplayed, and (B) It had the stupidest title of any song in the history of the Universe. It wasn't a bad song... the first 18,000 times you heard it. ;)

 

But yeah, the rest of the album was solid.

 

I don't know who CTD' date=' Geggy Tah are. [/quote']

 

You don't remember Geggy Tah? :bounce:
