is it me you're looking for?

Rather than starting out this post by actually making a hilarious pop culture reference, I'm going to merely list the three pop culture references that have been jockeying for position in my brain.  I'm notorious (in some circles) for deciding not to actually say whatever terribly vulgar/delightfully witty joke I've just thought of and instead going into a rambling explanation of "well, I was going to say something about [insert basic components of terribly vulgar/delightfully witty joke without said components actually being assembled into actual joke format, thus decreasing the hilarity quotient by a significant degree], but then I decided not to."  It goes over really well, typically. 

So.  Anyhoo*. 

I was going to begin this post by inserting some sort of reference to:

1) Lionel Richie.  Specifically, the song "Hello."  Oh, wait.  I just did it in the title.  Forget about this one.

2) Milhouse.  Specifically, "Everything's coming up Milhouse!"  And, yes, there is a website.

3) Mac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  Specifically, "What's up bitches!?"  That's pretty much the only thing he contributes to the show.  Everyone knows that Charlie and Dee are the truly important people.  Then again, I haven't watched it in awhile...

...But then I decided not to.  See, wasn't that significantly less funny than it would have been if I had actually just made the reference(s)?  Awesome!

Okay, so let's get down to the nitty-gritty folks: I've been absent a long-ass time.  I never call, I never write, I drank all your mom's "special" wine and then tried to fill the bottle up with grape juice...In short, I've been a bad friend.  But you know what?  Whatever.  I'm back now, and you should just stop all your moaning and bitching and appreciate me for the special flower that I am.  

Plus, I have so many exciting things complain about.  And I know that's the only reason why you're here.   That, and the fact that the only thing on the Olympic coverage right now is the biathlon, and that's some boring ass shit.  (Wow, all these classes at CNM are finally paying off!  I'm some kind of fucking Photoshop genius.)

So.  I'm still going to CNM (for web design and development, for those of you who don't actually pay attention to what I talk about...Mom.  [But, seriously, do you think I'd tell my Mom about this blog?  A) She's afraid to even touch a computer, and B) I talk waaaay too much about my vagina on here.])  This term is awesome, as I got all the stupid bullshit classes out of the way and now I'm only taking stuff that I actually want to learn about--huzzah!

Which reminds me: I have sooooo many things to tell you about a bullshit class I had last term.  I can't even believe it.  But that will have to wait.

Back to the present. 

...Wow, I'm actually having a hard time deciding which ridiculous community college-related anecdote to share first...It's an embarrassment of depressing, infuriating, hilarious riches! 

How about this: I'll save the actual sharing of anecdotes for next time.  Watching that clip of Charlie and Dee (above) sent me into a fit of shrieking/crying laughter and now I'm totally distracted from the cause...

Until next time, gentle reader.

*Can we just talk about "anyhoo for a minute?  Thanks.  So, for some reason I feel compelled to use "anyhoo" when I'm writing, but it is something that I never actually say out loud, because, jesus, it just sounds stupid.  I apologize for its proliferation in my posts (and can only assume its presence has something to do with all the...um...opium?  Is that what the kids are doing these days?).
