It Hurts, But I Won't Fight You

OH MY FUCKING GOD. I'M SORRY BUT THE "FUCKING" WORD WAS NECESSARY.

This should be going to the music blog, but that one has, let's see, SEVEN FOLLOWERS. So this is going on here. It's too important.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD IS COMING OUT WITH A NEW CD.

ME FUCKIN' GUSTA.

I'm seriously way too jazzed about this right now. And I wouldn't even know about this deliciousness if not for my boyfriend Jake. Like, "thank you" is a joke in this circumstance.

Oh, you'd like to get in on this beautiful masterpiece of audiosexytime?

The Super Shake Question

Song: Ode to Sleep...Twenty-One Pilots

This band, I like it. Even though I broke the pattern of lyrics as title.

My favorite thing about working at Potbelly is what I call the "super shake question."

We have to ask three questions at the first station in Potbelly:
1) Would you like a Big or Original size?
2) Would you like that on Regular White or Multigrain Wheat bread?
3) Would you like any soup or shakes with that today?

WOAH. HOLD THE PHONE. Say the last one aloud.

Customers be like,

 "...bitch did you say super shakes?"

I shit you not, one guy was in the process of telling me no before I even finished the question until he heard the "super shake" part. His eyes got wide and he said to me,

"What's a super shake?"

I politely replied, like the good, upselling Potbelly employee that I am,

"Well, all of our shakes are super! But they're made just the same as they always are."

Him, almost relieved (?): "Ooh, okay. I thought y'all got some new somethin'."

This is the most memorable, but by no means, the only experience like this that I have had with the super shake question. People get so shocked by the possible existence of shakes that are super. It's really funny to watch. On days that I don't feel like dealing with people, I've learned to modify the question and ask if they'd  "like any shakes or soup with that today." On other days, I say it with as little separation between words as possible so I can watch their reations.

"DID SHE JUST SAY SUPERSHAKE?"

YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS.

FUCKLE YOUR SEATBELTS (thanks Jake), THESE SHAKES ARE...

O.O SUPER.

And Now I Just Sit In Silence

Song: Car Radio...Twenty-One Pilots

This is a really good song and maybe I'll make a post about it on the music blog one day. Or maybe I'm just done with that blog altogether. And my writing blog. Probs just done with both, yeh.

Anyway, I'd like to dedicate this post to my boyfriend, in all his linguistic and cinematic glory.

EVERYBODY WHO LIKES MOVIES AND READING THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN WELL, GO TO JAKE'S BLOG : 



This blog is already off to a great start, and its author is pretty much the coolest cat on the face of the planet, so...


Check it out!

I might be posting inappropriately soon after this, so I apologize. But I wanted to give a full post to this.

Unplugged

Song: The Final (Unplugged)...Dir en Grey

I AM COMPLETELY HEALTHY AND PROPERLY FUNCTIONING.

That phrase has been on repeat in my head since last night. I went to sleep saying it, and right when I woke up I was saying it. Over and over. This is the energy I want to attract. I started listening to the Silva Method last night and got pretty into it. 

I am completely healthy and properly functioning. 

This weekend is going to be the dank danks. I'm gonna make it the dank danks with the help of my wunderbar boyfriend and the fact that my whole family is going to Tennessee until Sunday. It would have been pretty the dank danks if we could have gone like originally planned, but I'm trying not to think about that because I really want to attract positive energy.  

I am completely healthy and properly functioning, and this weekend is going to be the dank danks. 

In other news, Zeus peed on the kitchen floor. We know it was Zeus because of the quantity, which was something akin to the quantity of water in a lake. Sometimes I think about taking those dog shaming pictures. You know, the ones with the dog perp and a notecard in front of him/her saying what he/she did. Like this:

 

Yeah, so I sometimes want to take those of Zeus, but then his face is too derpy and I decide no one would take him seriously. As in, no one would understand the full effect his deeply-seeded evil (manifested in urine) has on...the world. 

I am completely healthy and properly functioning.

I am completely healthy and properly functioning.

I am completely healthy and properly functioning.
