4 July
So I spent yesterday as I planned, in the back yard, in the shade, feet in the pool.
It was hot, but there was a pretty decent and constant breeze and I was sitting in my underwear and a tank top. I felt funny about the underwear, as the backyard is right in plain sight to any passerby, but honestly, it looks exactly like a bathing suit.
And did I mention it was fucking hot?
So I was sitting out there with Cynthia and Fran watching Bonnie splashing around in the pool.
"Bah!"
"Yes, Bonnie splashes!"
"Bah! Bah!"
"Splash! Splash in the wa-ter!"
At one point she toddled over to me and climbed into my lap and started patting my breasts. She's always somewhat entranced by them, since I am chestier than Cynthia--I can only assume that she's marvelling at the potential.
She moved my tank top a little and saw the tattoo and started poking at it.
"Tat-too, Bonnie, that's a tat-too."
"Tatootatootatootatoo!"
She can't say splash, but she picked up tattoo right away. I'm corrupting the whole family, child by child.
Around 10p Cynthia and I went to the store to get supplies for our picnic today, and Cynthia went to the video store to get a couple of movies as well.
When we got to the check-out desk, the girl looked at Cynthia and said "Hot enough for you?"
I swear, I've never heard anyone say that seriously, like they were saying something real! Maybe she's watching too many old movies, working in a video store (though not enough of them to recognize The Lion in Winter when Cynthia asked for it).
What was she gonna say next, twenty-three skidoo?
An exchange on Journal L yesterday:
Al's question of the day: "Tell us why someone should come to YOUR journal. Feel free to pimp yourself as much as you want."
Me: "For those of you who witnessed the 'What's so great about Kymm? I don't like her journal one little bit!' conversation on Diary L the other week, you should check out my journal so that you can say 'My God, this journal is amazing! It is astoundingly good! I've never read anything like it! In fact, it may well cure cancer! That guy who doesn't like it is clearly LUNATICAL!'
That's why."
Al: "_I_ read Kymm and I've never had cancer! How's that for a reader testimonial?"
Me: "It's going in my sig file!"
Doug: "*I* read Kymm and I've had two heart attacks... put that in your sig file...
Me: "But you haven't had cancer! Good thing you read me, huh?"
In yesterday's entry, Columbine said:
"Just once I would like to see a person look at me in passing in a way that says they think I'm sexually attractive. Just once."
I read that and thought "Man, me too." Then I realized that it has happened, not often, but sometimes
really obviously, and when it does I think that the guy is either insane or is making fun of me.
So there you go.
I wonder, will they change the name of VH1 to "The That Thing You Do Channel" any time soon?
Happy Fourth, guys! Try not to blow your fingers off!
