Queen Savage turns one

June 25, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Today marks the one year anniversary of my first post on this blog.  I began writing here mainly as an outlet, so that I had something fun to think about while so many un-fun things were happening around me. I was hoping that some people could relate to my experiences and at the very least, to make you laugh–because I really needed to as well.  Honestly, I felt out of sorts, and I needed to distract myself from turning into a raving lunatic who wanders around town in a muumuu with an empty tequila bottle.  Lots of tacos and beer have also done wonders to soothe the psyche over the past year. 

 So in honor of this momentous first anniversary, a list for you about why you might benefit from sticking around for the second:

1.  I haven’t written a single poop story yet, and I have many. You have no idea the amount of self-restraint I have shown on your behalf internet.

2.  I haven’t even told you about the time I pooped in my pants—-as an adult.

3. Because some guy at a bar recently said to me, “You eat tacos and I’m looking for a cure for cancer.”  As if eating tacos was my job (oh god, how I wish it were).  I think it was meant as an insult, but I wasn’t aware that the two were mutually exclusive.  Like, I’m not allowed to cure cancer and eat a taco at the same time? What the fuck is that about?

4. Because this year I am going to participate in a triathlon and light a cigarette as I come down the finish line.  Or poop my pants.  Or wet myself.  Or crawl to the finish as I do all three.

5. Because if I could give you all a group hug, I would.  And then I would ask you to smell my pits :)=

Would you like to smell my armpits?

June 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

“The smell of my armpits is sweeter than the nectar of the gods and more divine.”  Thanks for that, Whitman.  As a life-long sweaty Betty, I have found these words very comforting over the years.

I was reminded of the Whitman quote last week when I ate at Holy Taco in East Atlanta.  This was my second visit in the past year, and like the first, I was not impressed with their cardboard-inspired tortillas or sub-par fish tacos.  I was especially unimpressed when I told the waitress that there was something wrong with our “organic” margaritas, and she suggested that perhaps we were not used to the taste of agave nectar.  Um, no.  In fact, I am fairly certain that there is a vein, the big one located closest to my heart, specifically labeled AGAVE.  It is right next to that other one labeled NECTAR and the one next to that labeled FISH TACO.  I was tempted to ask her if she was interested in smelling my armpits as proof, or at the very least give my pores a slight whiff, but I refrained.  I’ve gotten in enough trouble lately. 

Other than the assumption on the part of the waitress regarding the agave, service here was very good (they did not charge us for the returned margaritas)– so were the churros.  Finally! They come in a paper bag with a side of some very delicious hot chocolate and luckily the friend to my left was too full from dinner to share, otherwise he may have lost a few precious fingers in the process.

A very good weekend

Transcript of a conversation I had with my brother, J, on Sunday:

J: Dude, I can’t believe I’m almost thirty and I’m sleeping on the floor of my room because my mattress sucks so badly that both ends of it lift up when I get in the middle of it.

Me: Dude, I can’t believe I’m almost thirty and I woke up in the bed of my truck at six o’clock this morning still drunk. 

J: Well, at least you didn’t drive.

Me: True.  God, I really need to put a blanket back there.

Transcript of a conversation I had with my mother on Sunday:

Mom: Did you really sleep in your car last night?

Me: Who gave you that insane idea?

Mom: I don’t know, but did you?

Me: Absolutely not. What do I look like? A crazy person?

Mom: Oh good, because that is really dangerous.

Me: Of course it is.  Did J tell you that he’s broke because he spent the rest of his money on some hookers and an eight-ball this weekend? Yeah, I think you should call him about that. Like right now.

Mom: What’s an eight-ball?

THE END

This weekend ranks as one of the top five weekends of the past year.  Friday night on my way home from the gym, some friends called and invited me to the Exotic Dancer National Championships at the Pink Pony South.  We got to see the amateur category and the best girl of the night poured vodka all over her body and then lit herself on fire. WOW! Note to self: Learn this talent as soon as possible.  For those of you who have not been to the Pink Pony’s south location, it is unbelievably nice and huge compared to the one on Buford Highway.  Not only that, but it has a sushi bar at the very top of it where you can sit and watch the stage from a bird’s eye point of view.  I didn’t try it.  Something about sushi and strip clubs didn’t seem to go together very well.

Saturday, Dr. V and I hit up the East Atlanta Beer Festival.

Wow! again.  The weekend kept getting better and better.  We tried to keep track of all of the beers, but personally I lost count after I was forced to pee in the bushes and some guy yelled out at me, “I can see you!” There were hundreds of people and it was hot as almighty hell, but everyone was in a great mood and I did not see one single fight or verbal altercation.  Of all the beers we tried the Allagash Curieux was our favorite, along with another beer that had a really nice aftertaste of blueberries.  Sorry, the name escapes me at the moment. 

Morelli’s ice cream had a stand at the beer fest so we took the opportunity to split two scoops of the Guinness chocolate.  I love Guinness. I love ice cream. Thank you lord for giving someone the foresight to blend the two together.
