Today was actually pretty cool, when you drink enough to forget the battle with the crosswalk-hating hipsters. Except only do the drinking metaphorically, because I don't drink, much to the great despair of everybody except me.
I went to the used bookstore in 'downtown' Ferndale and bought Hip: the History and Dirty Blonde, which is that book of Courtney Love's diaries. Really nice book and I got it for $13 in hardcover instead of the $35 list price. Looks like new. I'm really excited for Christmas now, because I'm going to wrap it up and stick it under the tree for myself and not read it till then.
Then I hustled onward to Royal Oak, where a small girl was so distracted by my funny hair and gaudy hat-brooch combo that she managed to ignore my batty tallness and mistake me for an elf.
Awww, look. We even have the same exasperated 'aren't you a precious little snotwipe, now stop looking at me' smile to use on children in crowded bookstores. The mix-up was totally understandable, guys.
Crazy seems to gravitate to me. Maybe it's the hair.

p.s., as a footnote, I typed this on the still-ugly-as-sin Jimmy, on the envelope my xmas money from my (ex?) stepdad came in. I'm so eco-friendly I can hardly contain myself.

I'm still not over her killing Kurt...sorry, I just had to share.
You do have an uncanny resemblance with that elf. You could of given that kid an evil grin and told him/her "No presents this year! You're on the naughty list."
She didn't kill Kurt! I see how this is. This means war, deek. We duel at dawn, with pistols at twenty paces.
Especially with the hat. It's something of a miracle how gaudy i manage to look. But I'd never destroy a wee one's dreams like that. She'd have been scarred for life.
Chicks dig scars:)
I think we do need to duel, as Courtney is the devil reincarnate...in my book, at least. And she destroyed him, plain and simple...
Mental scars that leave them unable to function as a normal adult, because the person they thought was an elf told them they were on the naughty list? You are a cruel, sick man.
Courtney is not the devil incarnate, she is just a very misunderstood sweet lady. Sort of like the Yeti. This is a pro-Courtney blog. I should probably get a badge to this effect...
Julia, I find Courtney secretly fascinating myself. I saw Hole play in November of 1994 and at that time she was at the height of her scary mostly pre-surgical just-widowed glory, and was terrifying.
You'll have to let me know how the books are.
Strikethru, I never imagined you would even be in the same room as Courtney Love. I always had you pinned for more of a Hootie & The Blowfish or John Mayer type.
She's terrifying and amazing and I can't figure out if she's legitimately cracked or just acting that way.
Expect reviews. :]
Julia, this was another entertaining typecast. As for the maroons out there who ignore the laws of physics, I recommend installing a PA (as in "Public Address") loudspeaker behind the front grille of your car, with CB-radio-like amplifier and One-Adam-Twelve-ish handheld microphone, so's you can do some, like, one-on-one vocalizing to the world around your vehicle. At least, that's what I feel like doing when screaming to myself and pounding the steering wheel doesn't seem to get anyone's attention. ;)
As always, keep up the good work.

Joe, I don't believe in such subtlety. I'd do it Blues Mobile-style. The hipsters would fear my mighty screech. As is, I think I'm going to take to rolling down the windows and screaming at people.
And thank ya, thank ya kindly.
Okay, I feel like I should have an opinion on the Courtney Love/Kurt Cobain thing in order to leave a comment. I don't though. I do think she needs to maybe sneak up on a bar of soap, but I often think that of people and sometimes can't watch movies because the people in them look so dirty. They did make a beautiful daughter together. That Francis Bean is a stunning girl.
I'm sorry that you got called an elf. And that I'm laughing really hard and maybe wishing I'd been there when it happened. I don't think you look like an elf at all. You could've told the little shit, "Yep, Santa sent me here to watch you." and just walked away. That would've freaked him the hell out.
Candance, it's not necessary to have an opinion on the Courtney-Kurt shenanigans to comment here. You just have to agree that I'm right and Courtney is awesome. ;D
If it makes a kid's day to think I'm an elf, I'm not gonna tell the little moron anything different. Yeah, I'm an elf. Sure. Let's roll with that if it'll make it stay away from me and marvel at my awesome hair.
