My last post, which included the C word, hit home with a good friend of mine. It was funny....she'd mentioned it after reading my book, since it's used to drive home a point in the book. This friend is not one that uses foul language much. There must be something fucking wrong with her. Haha. Obviously joking. I'll tell you this, all of my childhood friends speak at least equally as bad as me. It's how we've talked since way before we should've known about any such words. As far as we know, it's a huge part of the English language, at least when growing up on our little Alaskan island. You should hear us when we all get together. It's a regular 'ol fuck fest. Not that kind. Get your mind out of the gutter. Those girls are my sisters. Anyway, I work up to a really great Email from this friend earlier this week, and she once again used the "C" word and spoke about the how she's always hated that word. I love that she's now liberated from everything that word brings to mind. Almost all of my life, that word was forbidden from my vocabulary. I only remember ever using it once, and I was sixteen years old. Anyway, my friend Amy would always laugh about how uncomfortable I was with that word, and as a result she used it more around me than I'm sure she normally would. Yes, those are the greatest kinds of friends: the ones who thrive on busting your balls.
Okay, it's 20 minutes to the Packers v. Seahawks kickoff. I've got my wine in hand, and getting pumped up for the game. Actually, I've been pumped up for the game since Fri. I am really on edge! Man, I love my Seahawks. Watching them play is most definitely my favorite indulgence!
