I’ve decided it is time I start doing Vblogs. Or for you old schoolers like me, video blogging. I never call things what they are I’ve already started calling it a Vlog or a Vlogblog and I mentioned to Adam that V could also stand for Voice.
Around Christmas time I needed some red tights and I went to American Apparel and I had an issue, I came home I mentioned it on the good ol’ Twitter machine and BAM. Emails. I felt so important. They were on it pretty fast. Problem with the internet is that sometimes things happen too fast and I ended up with two people trying to help me and two different but very tantalizing offers to handle the issues with apologies included of course. I could have been an asshole and collected off both offers, too bad I’m an honest little member of society and I brought both offers to the attention of the person I deemed by the emails was the higher up of the two and attempted to negotiate. So I would just like it clear that I did not just nab a free bodysuit, don’t go off yelling foul service GIVE ME A FREE BODY SUIT NOW or anything I used my own math skills and discovered that even though there had a been an error made in two people contacting me being honest about it was cheaper for them because I was all well instead of taking this and this and then taking this percent off of whatever how about I just go with this here bodysuit.
What happened next is what happens to every person who gets a bodysuit; you end up listening to Olivia Newton John and dancing around your apartment to Physical. Oh right I am pretty out of my mind right now and going through a seriously serious family crisis, it’s just me. So I ended up taking some photos, Adam liked said photos, that was Friday.
Yesterday I ended up playing my Blip.fm list which now contains Physical and decided to do a play by play of how I ended up in the bodysuit the day before. But by this time Adam had put the Physical video on YouTube and I was reminded that there are headbands worn in the original so I made sure to include them in mine as well.
This video went out over Twitter the other day and it really touched me. Just now I showed it to Adam and I got all teary and I don’t have PMS, it is just that awesome.
I have a lot to say right now. But I’m not in a good space to say it.
Y’all know I love Neko Case a lot. No artist moves me like she does.
Past couple days I’ve slipped back into some unhealthy behaviors; since I was a kid it is always music that helps to pull me through.
This song speaks to me because I changed for a real, a long while back now, but with that change came brand new legs and those legs slip out from under me some days and when I’m trying to assert myself I end up looking like some asshole martyr but you see, when it really comes down to it I don’t care because it is still all a learning curve and at least I’m asserting myself and making an effort to learn the correct way. A year a go I didn’t give a shit how I came across. I know these new legs aren’t full of muscles yet, just some burst veins but I’m working out, a lot.
