I do not even want to tell you about how many spiders that have attacked me since I last wrote. Twice in the shower!
That’s all I will say.
So as you all know, the abandoned draft of Your Mom was pretty much written to pinnacle songs from the nineties. I’ve decided the music is the reason why it failed and fell apart because it certainly couldn’t have been anything I did. So far the new draft has been written to one Nada Surf song, a bunch of Radiohead tunes and most recently, Brad Sucks. Oh, and there were five minutes last night when it was written to like, six Backstreet Boy songs back to back because sometimes I Want it That Way.
Anyway, if it turns out I have to abandon this draft too, I want you all to point me to this entry so I can pass the buck and write angry letters to musicians that are along the lines of Dear Radiohead, YOU RUINED MY NOVEL.
Here is a piece of semi-related Courtney Trivia. You know that BSB music video, As Long As You Love Me? With the chair dance? I COULD DO THE CHAIR DANCE. My friends learned it and then taught it to me. I was fantastic at it. Better than the BSB. It was my claim to fame within my circle of friends and family. Also my whole town. EVERYONE wanted the chair dance! I was in total demand. It was exhausting but I could not let the people down and eventually, just like the Spice Girls, I bowed out with grace. The last time I ever did the chair dance was when I had to give a speech at my sister’s wedding and I was like, “I don’t have words, Meg. Just THIS,” and I grabbed a metal chair and danced with it and Meg was like, “THAT’S NOT THE BSB CHAIR DANCE! YOU’RE JUST SLOW DANCING WITH A METAL CHAIR!” because by then it was a few years later and I had actually forgotten the BSB choreography but I didn’t care because it was HER day so I slow danced out of the reception hall with the chair and got into the JUST MARRIED car and drove away.
Remember that Meggy? Remember when I ruined your wedding?
Good times, good times.

This is amazing to me. Laugh out loud amazing. I am currently not so much writing a paper that is due at noon tomorrow. Earlier today I procrastinated by penning a What Claudia Wore entry, but you have provided superior entertainment. For which I thank you.
Okay, now I’m going back to clever and hopefully War Stories relevant analysis of M.I.A. Erm. I’ll leave the library at 3am. Because I’m working from 12 to 3. Because I am apparently a glutton from punishment.
or for punishment, whatever.
I wish I could do the BSB chair dance. Can we get a youtube video?
p.s. “Loneliness has always been a friend of mine.” I shouldn’t know that, should I.
I was trapped on a houseboat at the age of ten for a week with my family, plus some non-family. *shudder* We must have had something near 1 million spiders on that thing, and as we killed them, we gave them all names starting with H. Horace, Herbie, Hal…
I’m in awe of your chair-dancing. Keep that career on the side-burner just in case! LOL. Maybe that’s the problem I’m having with my MS… it’s all laced with Bush, Garbage, The Nixons, Fiona Apple…
don’t you dare blame radiohead!
No, no I don’t remember that.
Probably just because it didn’t happen though. ;)
My anti-spam word was “easy”. Did it know *I* was going to be the one making the comment? :)
Kim: GOOD LUCK ON YOUR PAPER, BB! I hope it went well!! I must say it has broken your brain if you think this blog entry is superior entertainment over the latest WCW. BECAUSE THAT ENTRY WAS FREAKING. HILARIOUS. And I’ve been giggling about it all day. No youtube videos. At least not of me. There is one of Brian Litrell doing a solo chair dance. I refuse to provide the link.
Emily: Spiders on a houseboat! Okay, that sounds completely terrifying but also like it could be a really amazing B horror movie idea. Copyright that idea! Start the screenplay now! I would totally watch that movie!!!
Kelvin: I BLAME THEM FOR EVERYTHING!
Megan: You have blocked it out, bb. It happened, I assure you.
MY ANTI-SPAM WORD TOTALLY OH SNAPPED YOU!
“Can we get a youtube video?”
Can I get a hell yeah?
P.S. I agree with Kelvin. No blaming Radiohead. Ever. If anything, they’ll end up solving world hunger (okay maybe not, but yeah, they’re that good).
I am slightly shattered that there was no chair dance at the BSB concert in February. Would have made me sit up and pay attention instead of looking at all the girls in the crowd and commentating on their outfits.
…Brian? Really?
In other news, I just facebook-messaged you. About my woe.
Vero: Hell no! ;) And it’s true. I can’t blame Radiohead for everything, I suppose. SIGH.
Briony: THERE WASN’T?!!! That’s a crime!!! You should’ve demanded your money back!
A: YES! Who did you like best? And THANK YOU for telling me that, btw. FB is not sending me the notices, lately (or they do weeks after the fact). So if ever you message me and don’t get a reply, gimme a heads-up just in case. >:( I’m gonna get back to it soon!!
I just have … noooo idea what you’re talking about because I am still listening to–you know, ol’ recordings of Lawrence Welk singing “Bubbles In The Wine” but–whatever. You are SO cool, Courtney. So cool.
… YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF/SEEN THE CHAIR DANCE? BY THE BACKSTREET BOYS?!
GASP!!!!
when vero agrees with me you know i’m right.
mmhm.
… I cannot argue with that.
BUT ONLY THAT.
THBPPT.
HOW DARE YOU THBPPT ME! I THBPPT YOU BACK!
