why today is awesome by Ant J. Power

Dear World.

Today the insurance people replaced my iPod! Yays! It is pink and I have named it CHAD because autumnfades told me to. I was thinking of naming it Chadacklesalecki, but that is a very hard word to say.

I didn't really want to wake up because I was having this awesome dream where Conor Oberst and I were doing goofy dances to 'Four Winds' and whenever we moved all pretty sparkles came from us and the whole world looked like the iTunes visualiser thinger. I wish the world really did look like that, because that would be tops.

My ma sent me money so I didn't have to dance on the street corner for pennies. This is especially handy as pennies aren't a valid form of currency here and I really needed coffee. Also, I am a goofy dancer in RL and not just sparkly Bright Eyes dreams.

Speaking of goofy dances, klave hooked me up with this video of Conor Oberst doing the YMCA while some kids sing it karaoke and it is quite simply THE GREATEST THING EVER OMG! That is exactly how he was dancing in my dream, only sparklier.

sandy_phoenix can fix anything that is wrong with my novel, EVER! This it doesn't matter how rubbish I am, which is a big relief, let me tell you. She is awesome and deserves cake.

When I went to the supermarket to spend the money that wasn't pennies, I bought a cake. A coffee cake. It was reduced to $2.50 and that was because it was stale. Then I felt sick in the belly, so I watched In My Time of Dying and Hunted and the Boylove made me better. My sister and I had many chuckles about the logistics of Jared Padalecki trying to get busy with Christian Kane, because Christian Kane is such a tiny little man and Jared Padalecki isn't. We decided they'd likely just give up and have girl fights over which of them Jensen loved more.

Jared would win.

I hope tomorrow is just as awesome.

Love Ant.

Conor Oberst doing the YMCA
*dies* He's such a dork, I love it! :))

Yay for awesome days!

I got namedropped! Awesome!

No one ever throws me pennies when I dance for them...maybe you could have sold your hot body instead? Mmm...stale cake. I had some good carrot cake yesterday, and it wasn't stale, and it had sweet cheese frosting. Mmmm.

Yes, because you're awesome!!

Maybe you're just not going the right dances?

The cake was actually better today, which is weird. Maybe it just needed time to age?

[klave.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

Maybe not...maybe I should try doing the YMCA!

Mmm...we all know that the best stale cake actually improves with maturity. Currently I am trying to munch my way through a the pile of Easter chocolate I somehow acquired over the weekend...

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

You should totally do the YMCA! And film it and put it on youtube! That would be awesome.

Oooh, I am still owed Easter chocolate from my nephew. I totally need to be collecting on that!

I'll bet that if you got a few cute kids to help and stood on the street corner doing the YMCA, people would throw lots of usable currency. I would.

I am gratified to know I helped you out last night. It figures that I can be useful to you and your novel but cannot write my own to save my life. *facepalm*

But, can I really have cake? That would be lovely. Cake would be tops right now. Actually, maybe a bit later as I just had some very marginal french fries. Oog...

The kids would probably steal my pennies though and then I'd be back at square 1.

You helped muchly. Rupen is still being a prat but at least Eaves has fallen into line. I didn't do anything today at all, because I still can't shake this headache. The painkillers don't even work, I am one step away from trying your vinegar remedy.

Of course you can have cake. Only I ate all the coffee cake, so you can't have that.

I have a terrible craving for a hearty stew with dumplings in it.

Chadacklesalecki could be its full name. Chad for short. I think it's extra funny that Mr. Chadacklesalecki is pink.

My first iPod was named Fabio. The second, Roonil Wazlib. I think the next one's going to be Dr. Badass.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

LOL, I actually had to pick between pink and blue and because I was naming it Chad, I went for the pink because it seemed so much more fitting. :P

LOL, Roonil Wazlib! My first iPod had a Ron Weasley-related name too, or possibly a Ron/Harry related name, I can't quite remember. And my second was Erpington Winchester, though if there's an explanation for that, I really don't know!!

You named your iPod Chad? Well, great. Now I hate your iPod. Liat is an evil EVIL lesbian.

[keeplistening.livejournal.com]

ZOMG ALLI STOP SPREADING TOTALLY FALSE RUMORS ABOUT ME *throws panties at you*

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

ROFL.

My iPod is very sad that you hate it.

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

My iPod (whose name is Evil!Sam the iPod) really REALLY dislikes your iPod and is very VERY tired of pretending to be friends with it.

Also? LIAT LIKES TO LOOK AT NEKKID BOOBIES. *dodges panties*

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

My iPod is hiding in the corner and trying not to cry. He will win Evil!Sam the iPod over in the end, he is sure of it!

YAY! I was gonna change my vote to Mayhem, for that is his nickname and totally cute and awesome, but Chad WINS, so YES! \o/

Chris is really very small. It's amusing because he's so buff and like, everyone portrays him to be this awesome, manleh, drug-taking, pot-smoking, fist fighting DUDE (in fics, anyhow, which are totally 100% accurate, you know).

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Mayhem is a dangerous name for an iPod to be called, so it's probably for the best. I don't want it spazzing out on me.

I know! Christian Kane is like, as wide as he is tall, maybe wider. It's like you know that episode of Buffy where that terrorsome demon was summoned and then it was only 3 inches tall, that is exactly what Christian Kane reminds me of.

[keeplistening.livejournal.com]

I didn't see that episode (I've seen a grand total of, like, 3), but AHAHAHAHAHA! That image is hysterical!
