I have recently decided that "ridiculous" is the end-all be-all adjective for pretty much every occurrence in life. Here is a list of things/situations* (past or present) it describes so aptly:
1. The back of yo' head- RIDICULOUS
2. Missing your sisters so much that you check their blogs every day- RIDICULOUS
3. When the only option for expanding your wardrobe is "shopping" in the attic, aka looking through boxes of clothes from high school - RIDICULOUS
4. The fact that there are more, and bigger, cockroaches in your home in Durham, NC than you would ever encounter in your normal living residence in, say, Taiwan (a tropical climate) -RIDICULOUS
5. Having your insane fear of said cockroaches motivate you to sleep in the same room as your mother at age 25 (it's the only room you have not spotted a cockroach in) - RIDICULOUS
6. Accidentally signing up for the wrong Verizon plan without knowing and then paying for 1000 texts per text and having your phone bill turn out to be $130 instead of $50 when you have no money as it is - RIDICULOUS
7. Actually sending 1000 texts in one month - RIDICULOUS
8. Having your boyfriend break up with you because he was still in love with his ex-girlfriend who is now married to someone you were formerly interested in dating but who rejected you as well - RIDICULOUS
9. Having your pants rip open unknowingly on a blind date with five other couples and no one telling you about this gash (which extends from the waistband to the knee pit, exposing your butt cheek and thigh/leg) until hours into the date - RIDICULOUS
10. Making a fetus for a project in Ceramics 101- RIDICULOUS
11. Driving across the US to visit your boyfriend's family and then having him break up with you during the road trip home - RIDICULOUS
12. Growing tomatoes the size of your head in your own backyard- CRAZY RIDICULOUS
13.Having to work at a job that you could have gotten right out of high school after graduating from college at age 25 - REALLY RIDICULOUS
14. The beauty of the fall leaves - RIDICULOUS
Feel free to add to this list. It's a good coping mechanism (healthy or not), I promise.
*Note: If these situations were not hypothetical (which they are, of course), than rest assured that I have no hard feelings against any of you.
girr, da back a yo head is ridicAlous. :) you make me laugh soooo hard. thanks mucho.
ReplyDeleteThat was the MOST RIDICULOUS post I have EVER Ever ever read. It made me laugh. Esp the part about the cockroaches and the 1000 texts and the ceramic fetus. And girr, if you miss your sisters so much that you check their blogs every day, maybe you should consider another trip to visit your sisters. Just sayin.'
ReplyDeleteHere's my addition: taking public transportation to get to a location at a destination of 19.9 miles and having it take 4 hours. One way. And for some reason, deciding to wear high heels (when you don't usually wear high heels). RIDICULOUS.
So you totally need to be a WRITER Lindsey! Yo' writing style is RIDICULOUS. I love reading your blog and wish I could have a "real" FB account so I could post on your RIDICULOUSLY awesome pictures you take (but instead I have to snoop, RIDICULOUS). This was so funny! Ditto the 1,000 texts and the cockroaches and sleeping in mom's room where you haven't seen any. HA!
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention so ironic about the crazy love quadrangles you get yourself into =)
ReplyDeleteAm I weird if I say I needed this RIDICULOUS post? It totally made me laugh. It's hilarious and even funnier since all those are true (although I haven't heard some of those stories before... we need to chat). Look, if you aren't employed by next week, I want to come pick you up! It's ridiculous to be missing your sisters if one is 4 1/2 hours away. Hello!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I think it is RIDICULOUS that you had 4 ENTIRE COMMENTS just hours after posting. What is your secret??
ReplyDeleteFew ridiculous comments: that beanie is mine from Nepal. . . were you sifting through my stuff?? RIDICULOUS, gurl. And I like the new blog header/photo/color. Purple is Ridiculous. It's like the forgotten color.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would say planning your entire anniversary around a restaurant and getting there to find it is closed on Nov. 10th for the ONLY DAY OF THE YEAR. RIDICULOUS.
Liesel pooping herself awake at 3:30am-- ridiculous.
Me thinking I can compete with this post-- ridiculous.
Your bowl-cut until the age of 7-- ridiculous.
you not being here at Thanksgiving to cut butternut squash, hike and cut down a christmas tree the size of our house for your apartment-- ridiculous.
The fact that you haven't already married Matt Hays-- ridiculous.
