how it makes me feel:

this is certainly a monday WOTD. don't get me wrong here, it's a decent WOTD but as far as setting the tone for a day, this is definitely monday-appropriate. it's not really 'meh' but it is a little 'ehh' (less ugh. more thug). perhaps if it were tuesday i could get a little more excited about it. perhaps if lada gaga wasn't such a space alien i'd feel better about dancing to her music. coincidentally, while being hit on by a dude on saturday night i was told that "just dance" is essentially the soundtrack for his life. i knew at that point it would be polite to end the conversation not just because i don't bat for that team but also because even if i did i would never date ANYONE who said something like that. it definitely didn't help that he decided to have an in depth conversation with me about the implications of homosexuality in relation to the amount of hair you need to remove from your body, which was definitely gave me some yummy visuals. perhaps if he didn't have a penis i would have been interested. not to be vulgar or anything but in my opinion, vaginas are awesome.
