The New Jim Jones.

All this time, I've been thinking the phrase "Don't Drink the Koolaid" was a anecdotal way of calling bullshit on anyone inclined to simply follow the group mentality...you know, a way of saying "don't jump on the bandwagon, especially when that bandwagon is full of crazies and run by someone who requires you call them Father" But I was looking way too much into it.. really it just is a warning: "Don't drink the Koolaid!" Seriously. Don't do it. You're not that thirsty. Laced with potassium cyanide or not, this shit is downright disgusting.

old people.

i realized this morning that i can't wait to be old. i used to think i would sooner die (pun totally intended) than live to be a rotchety old grumpy lady with a bad attitude and uneven lipstick.

but then i saw the most completely awesome old lady at the supermarket this morning taking her sweet time, buying expensive food and asking for help out and tipping the bagger... and the whole time with this huge lipstick-smeared smile on her face. she doesn't have to work. she doesn't have to drive anywhere or do anything. she just has to watch the news all day and make a sandwhich and read some of her novel and maybe say the rosary or something. and she can do all of this in her sweats and white hospital tennies.

i can't wait.
