Exciting things have been happening with Cracked Up to Be but I can’t blog about them yet, even though that is pretty much all I want to do. Letting you know this is keeping me from popping something. This industry is teaching me all sorts of things about managing my excitable impatience, it’s pretty neat.
Sad: at my glam cleaning job, an injured ladybug had to be mercy killed. Yeah, I cried a little. I also used to cry at those Liberty Mutual ads where people are nice to each other because people being nice to each other, what a concept. It’s amazing the world hasn’t eaten me alive yet. Imagine if the ladybug had been mercy killed while a Liberty Mutual ad was playing in the background. I would probably not even be able to compose myself long enough to type this blog entry.
Yesterday, I went outside wearing my hoodie with the hood over my head and then everyone pointed out to me that I didn’t need to wear the hood up because it was so nice out and I was like yes I do and they were like no you don’t because it’s spring it’s nice and I was like yeah I know it is but I’m keeping the hood up so just drop it alright and they were like what is with you today come on take the hood off why are you being so stubborn about this and I was like no no no and they were like come on come on come on take off the hood and finally I was like I CAN’T TAKE IT OFF BECAUSE I DIDN’T BRUSH MY HAIR TODAY OK and that was the end of that but jeeze.
Nobody lets me get away with anything.

I would’ve told you to keep the hood up because LADY BUG MURDERERS need to hide their shame!
GASP! I AM UNSPEAKABLY OFFENDED.
Especially since I was not the one that killed the ladybug! My glam cleaning co-worker did while I quietly wept next to my broom. So GOOD DAY TO YOU MADAM.
;)
Also it was missing a huge chunk out of half of its body and kind of trying to move around and couldn’t. It was so sad! Poor ladybug.
I am 99% sure this entry will spark about whether mercy killing is wrong BUT OH WELL.
Ladybugs are a gateway killing. Next you’ll be killing cats and dogs for hire, sleeping in your car and drinking whisky for breakfast. Stop while you can.
I think your co-worker did the right thing. Nothing worse than seeing a little fella/fellette suffer.
As for the hooded sweatshirt thing, I get weird looks when I do the same thing. I’ll come out of the club and my hair will be double sweaty and stuff and people will be like, what…do you think you’re a boxer, TKT? And I answer: Yes. Yes, I do. And I will box you, good sir/madam.
I had my hoodie on one night and we went into a coffee place just because I was in a bad mood and the owners of the place watched me the whole time I was there. I felt like hissing at them like a cat.
exciting things? spill, damnit, spill! i need some excitement in my dull, sedate existence.
I want to hear about the exciting CUTB things!! Want to hear! Want to hear now!
Okay, I’m done with my tantrum. Trying to manage my excitable curiosity with some decorum.
Congrats on the exciting news though!
ladybugs are the insect world’s version of a sheep in wolves’ clothing. (i wonder if i got the apostrophe right on that.)
i picked one up last summer because i was always told they bring good luck & the little bastard bit me. BIT ME! i didn’t even know ladybugs bit humans so at first i thought it shanked me or something, but yeah. they may look cute & sweet but they will try to kill you if you let your guard down.
this comment has been brought to you by the anti-spam word: pat
Okay, I will cancel the hiring of . . . who’s that guy who throws pie at people?
Em: It wasn’t me, I tells ya! I’m innocent! Innocent!
TKT: THANK YOU! Euthanizers get such a bad wrap. Oh my gosh though, I think I am just going to steal this from you and randomly say it to people if you don’t mind: “And I will box you, good sir/madam.”
Brian: Hoodies get a bad wrap, just like ladybug Euthanizers!
bookfraud: Maybe I should email my ed and be like, “bookfraud said to spill!!!” I feel this would have some weight to it. I wanna spill!
C.K. Thank you! I can’t wait until they are shareable. It is so hard to sit on good news!!
Marcia: Your comment cracked me up so hard I don’t even know what else to say.
Susan: Harvey Keitel? I mean. I don’t know if he does but I bet he does.
Can’t wait to hear the unspeakable exciting things!
:) I can’t wait to share them!!
