I think it's the best slumber party idea EVER. Only you can't just invite people you know. I wonder how much it costs to rent an airport for a night... *facepalm*<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sticking it out.

But that doesn't change the fact that I was camping out in front of the computer, only to miss being the first to comment.<BR/><BR/>And, yes, my java chip frappuccino was great. For your information, it's kind of like a milkshake, but with coffee. And chocolate. And lots and lots of caffeine, which could come from either the coffee or the chocolate. Or the UBB (universal beverage base). I have no idea what's in that. Maybe cockroaches...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-36549573047324594582007-03-20T19:52:00.000+03:302007-03-20T19:52:00.000+03:30I love that you refer to yourself in such terms as...I love that you refer to yourself in such terms as 'a fully grown mj.' It always makes me chuckle. The bathroom line was also comic gold. I think it actually made me love you. <BR/><BR/>I had a semi-shitty day today, but this entry cheered me up to no end, if only because I realised after reading about your travel-nightmare that my day was sparkly and pink in comparison. So, thank you.<BR/><BR/>One question; while you were over here in England, did you see any of the PG Tips adverts on the tele featuring your lovely FREE MONKEY? If you did, I'm sure that only served to deepen the love and infatuation you feel for your ever-so-awesome monkey. If you didn't, oh man, you need to see them, because you're going to fall in love with the FREE MONKEY all over again. Really, he is a cutie. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for making me chuckle so much. You're frakkin' awesome!<BR/><BR/>Mwa!<BR/>AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-75249637435554907312007-03-20T14:56:00.000+03:302007-03-20T14:56:00.000+03:30Hilarious description of your epic voyage - very f...Hilarious description of your epic voyage - very funny.

Is that even the right expression? I think I was born twenty years later than my dorkiness allows.<BR/><BR/>I hope you enjoyed your java chip frappuchino (I don't even know what that is, either).<BR/><BR/>I think I love Maureen's blog more than you do because I'm actually here, posting a comment on the same entry that I did earlier today.

I actually sat here, staking out my territory and snarling at my family if they came near the computer. Just because I wanted to be the first to post a comment. But then my sister strategically pointed out how sunny it was outside. I got excited, well, because I live in Chicago, and it is rarely sunny here.<BR/><BR/>So we hopped on our bikes and went to Starbucks, where I had a java chip frappuccino. Then I bounced back home, because caffeine makes me bouncy. I don't know how I managed to steer my bike. I very nearly got run over by a bus, although I doubt anyone really cares.<BR/><BR/>When I got home, I was extremely disappointed to see my darling mother, sitting in front of the computer. The bounce went out of me. I huffily went upstairs and watched <I>Rent</I>. (No, your alterego Maureen Johnson isn't my favorite character. I like Angel much more. He - she - is a hottie. ^_^) Then I read <I>The Key to the Golden Firebird</I> for a few minutes, until I was informed that the computer was free.<BR/><BR/>So now, I'm not the first to comment. Please realize, Maureen, that this isn't because I don't love your blog as much as I should. I love your blog more than I should. It is highly amusing.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, here's my comment: Good for you, for not giving up. Thank God you have your monkey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-79901612802871869812007-03-19T23:42:00.000+03:302007-03-19T23:42:00.000+03:30Mmm....isn't Bjork that singer who wore the swan d...Mmm....isn't Bjork that singer who wore the swan dress to the Oscars a few years ago?<BR/><BR/>I love reading your blog entries. They are quite hilarious. Actually I've been spending the last few days reading all of them, so it's your fault that I haven't been writing. Yeah, you must be thinking, "ANOTHER aspiring writer? Man, when will they stop coming?"<BR/><BR/>By the way, I read your FAQs today in your bio section, and I believe it was Chris Baty of Nanowrimo fame who said to use a random article of clothing as a writing object. He calls them Nano totems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
