Yeah...Like That Time I Tried to Decorate My House with Gas Station Novelty Items

You guys, I had a five day break because apparently learning the entire German language in fifteen days entitles you to such a break.

I did NOTHING FOR FIVE DAYS.

Well, maybe that’s not true.  Yesterday morning, I both burped and played video games.  I spent the afternoon concerned for my, you know...unparalleled femininity.  So in the evening I devised a plan to make me feel like a girl again:

Whitney’s Optional Steps to Returning to Femininity Post-Burp
1. Think about painting your toenails.  Dismiss the idea of painting your nails because you don’t own nail polish.

2. Try to make your own nail polish out of water, red food coloring, Elmer’s glue and some glitter.

3. Mix the ingredients in a bowl. 

4. Try to avoid letting the glue dry in the bowl.
 
5. Fail at avoiding letting the glue dry in the bowl. 

6.Throw the bowl away and learn a hard lesson about how being creative doesn’t mean you have common sense.

7. Tell your boyfriend/husband that you’re so fat that all you’re going to eat for dinner is this apple.

8. Manipulate your boyfriend/husband into telling you that you’re not fat and that you should eat more than that apple.

9. Pour chocolate sauce on your apple.  Eat chocolate apple.

10. Get on Facebook and tell your friends that you’re so fat that all you ate for dinner was an apple with chocolate sauce.

11. Take a nap and dream about a sparkly place where anything is possible.

12. Say “Hugh Jackman” a lot.

BAM. Femininity reinstated!


MICHELLE MARCEL PT. 2

I heard back from Michelle Marcel.  For those if you who do not want to go back and read that post, all that you really need to know is that I am in cahoots with some criminals.  We banter.  Oh yeah...her name suddenly changed!

Today at the store, I bought another gallon of milk even though I have half a gallon left in my fridge “just to be safe.”

Dear Whitney,
I am very glad to hear from you. The fund will be transferred to your account and there will be no problem. This transaction is 100% risk free and legal.  I just want to leave this country because I have suffered lots of humiliation from my immediate uncles, because they want to inherit everything my late father acquired, as a respect to the long aged inheritance tradition here in my country.  I am a young girl that has a bright future and wouldn't do anything that will jeopardize my future. I do not want anything illegal in my life, so be rest assured that everything will be concluded with transparency, understanding and sincerity between both of us.  In as much as I need your assistance in the fund transfer, I will also want to live with you and continue my life as soon as the money is transferred to your account...Please I would want you to send me your full scanned copy of your identity.
Michelle

She attached these.  But don't read them because they are "top secret."

Mich Marceline,

I can totally relate to the “humiliation of immediate uncles.”  Once, my uncle playfully hit me in the face with a pool noodle, so I can only assume that he is after my inheritance. 

Today I put on my finest sweatpants and headed to the bank.  I was all like, “You have to help Michelle Marcel/Mich Marceline because she’s in danger of being humiliated by her uncles!”  And they’re like, “You mean she’s going to get hit with a pool noodle?” and I was like, “EXACTLY.”  Then I showed them all your documents, but they quickly averted their gaze and said, “We can’t read that!  It’s.  Top.  Secret.”  I told them that I would read the document to them so that they didn’t have to actually read it, but they closed their eyes real tight, wrinkled their noses, shoved their fingers in their ears and went “LA LA LA LA LAAAAA.”  I left without completing the transaction.  I spent my afternoon in a janitor’s suit and my finest fake mustache wiring the speakers in the bank to my MIDI keyboard.  Do I even know if that’s a thing you can do?  I do not.  Now, I’m tapping in your top secret message through morse code, so all the people in the bank are subconsciously hearing your fathers message.  The money should be to you soon.  I have no doubts.  My ID is attached.

PS  I don’t have an extra bedroom, so you will be sleeping in my bathtub.  I’ll throw the cat in there so that you two can try to keep warm.  Just a “heads up” I like to shower in the middle of the night and then go back to bed.  You know, 2am-ish.  I’ll do my best to shower around you as you sleep, but if you wake up, you’ll sure be in for an unpleasant surprise!

Lovsies!
Whitney


PS Thanks to everyone who joined our little Facebook fan page!  I'm planning on getting some discussions going on the page.  We'll have some fun ;)

  2. I feel kind of racist right now for being super shocked that Michelle Marcel/Mich Marceline is black.

  3. You should send Michelle Marcel some of that homemade nail polish that you made. I'm sure she would appreciate painting her toenails.

  4. HAHAHA, oh Rob, that was fantastic. I should do that, and I might. Maybe I'll go jump into and dig through my apartment dumpster and send her the entire bowl.

  5. I ALSO think people who say they like long walks on the beach are liars!!!

    (I hope this proves the detail with which I read your posts.)

    I also hope saying that in parenthesis made it just a little bit creepy.

  6. HAHAHA!!! I love the part about your femininity restoration techniques...I shall employ them. I think I'm pretty good at the part about the apple and the chocolate sauce, though.

  7. Okay the fact that you even attempted to make homemade nail polish more than makes up for the fact that you did nothing for five days (although i also see nothing wrong with doing nothing for five days..)

  8. If a girl farts, the only way back is to say the cat did it.

  9. Holy shit, Whit, you are killing me. By the way. Chocolate sauce will restore manhood as well(requires added whipped cream)(sometimes cherry too) and can be enhanced when applied by third party (someone close) (or not so close).

    Whenever i come here I find myself rereading older posts again, and again. I needs me some Chunky-Nubby.

  10. But I DO love long walks on the beach! Sometimes the sand tickles my feet though.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Mandarinblue- As long as your ACTUALLY walking the entire time...I guess it's the sitting that gets the sand in the pants and makes things itchy. Also there's that whole attempt to wash your feet in the water before you leave and then leaping like a crazy person over the sand like that is going to help it not stick to your feet. I think I don't like sand.

  12. Mooner, I was about to yell at you for forgetting the all important silent "k" at the beginning of "knubby," but the dictionary just told me that it could be spelled either way, and blogger spell-check doesn't think "knubby" is a word. This is blowing my mind. Nubby is a lot less disgusting of a word if it doesn't have its silent "k."

    Woah.

  13. SO FUNNY! I couldn't stop laughing!

    P.S.Thanks for commenting on my blog!

  14. Nothing wrong with sitting around for five days! Too bad the nail polish experiment was a bust, or you could have patented that shit!

  18. Haha, I love that you are fishing (phishing??) them too! You are too funny, gal. And I am curious to see why you are so intensively learning German. Vielleicht wir können mit einander Deutsch sprechen?! :) Have a great Friday, and thanks for stopping by!
