Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Want to know what I did? Well, I'll tell you. I retemplated (hells yes it's a word) my blog and then I couldn't get the original template back. One minute Blogger welcomed it with open arms, and the next minute it was like, "I'm sorry, and you are?" You fickle free host, you. So I played around until I finally ended up with a version that I liked better. Whee, blog makeovers... blakeovers!

On Friday I went to Nashua, New Hampshire with my friends. Ironically, we drove an hour across state lines to go to a place called Boston Billiards. I don't really play pool but it turns out I AM open to several shots of patron silver. Yeah, I was 22 again for a night. A full day later, I dimly recalled trying to make a compelling argument for why Joe is a pickle. The only bad part of the place was that they had a dance floor but it wasn't open, so I was not able to demonstrate that this ain't a scene, it's a GODDAMN ARMS RACE! What, I said I was 22. Getting down to Fall Out Boy is not only acceptable, it's encouraged. The best part of the whole night was the premise of the evening: Lo had a date and we all decided to go with her. What a sport that guy was. I enjoyed his friend, too, until he dry humped me in the parking lot of a Denny's several hours later. Ahh, New Hampshire. Good times, good times.

Also, I'm very happy about a CD that I made called Wigglemix '07 (named for what it makes you do). The songs on it are below. I've been rocking out to it every day, my friends. If you want to as well, shoot me an email and I'll send you the songs. I mean, encourage you to get them on iTunes.

Ha ha-- both the template and the playlist look awesome. I've been listening to "I Still Remember" and that whole Bloc Party CD over and over again lately. So good. :)

Now I'm going to be singing "Come on now, sugaaaahh!" all day. Thank you for that. Looks like a swell mix!

When I stopped by last night, The Tent was pink. Today, it is blue. My first thought last night was that, somehow, something called The Cupcake Tent should actually ALWAYS have been pink. That said, the blue is quite nice, too.

I am feeling due for some retemplating myself, but as you just pointed out, it's always more work than you think it's going to be. Is a blakeover really worth the pain?

When I think of Fall Out Boy, I just think of that awful commercial with the guy in the gym listening to Fall Out Boy on his cell phone. Love the name "Wigglemix."

Love the template change. Much cleaner and less pink :)

I am a pickle because you need me to complete any sandwich.

Mymsie said...

Mmm, good mix. Love Ben Gibbard and Jenny Lewis.

Libra, good, I'm glad I'm not alone!

Greg, whee! I'm glad I have your approval.

Nabbalicious, if I can't get songs embedded in your brain, what good am I?

Stefanie, yeah, I was thinking that about the pink too, but in the end it was just too... pink. I felt like I should be writing about bubble gum and cute boys. Which, um, I basically do anyway. As for the blakeover, I'm not sure if it's worth the pain, or the weird things you end up doing, like taking a picture of half your face. Because that's still keeping it anonymous, right?

-r-, I know, that guy sucks. And thanks, I enjoyed the title too.

Wave, thanks!

Joe, yeah, exactly!

Mymsie, thanks!

Excellent choice in tunes.
So, is dry humping on the first meeting a bad thing?
