Blah blah blah

I typed a whole long entry about my night last night and then when I went to save it, the thing told me only "users" could perform that action. Frankly, I was always taught to believe that users are losers and losers are users. So don't use drugs, don't use drugs!

Anyhow. I will retype it tomorrow or something. For now, insight into my obsession with cicadas. The screenname of the other person has been changed to protect his identity.

 W:  you changed your icon!
Lovecat713:  yeah, it's a cicada, you like?
W:  what's a cicada?
Lovecat713:  WHAT!
W:  am i revealing my stupidity?
Lovecat713:  no, cause you grew up here.
Lovecat713:  right?
W:  mostly, yes.
W:  i was born in texas.
W:  we moved here when i was six.
W:  but that doesn't answer the question, what's a cicada?
Lovecat713:  they're bugs.
Lovecat713:  like locusts.
Lovecat713:  and the main variety only comes once every 17 years.
Lovecat713:  on the east coast.
Lovecat713:  and this is cicada year.
W:  ah... this is educational!
W:  but i think i need to get a bigger look at this.
Lovecat713:  the mama cicadas lay their eggs in the roots of trees.
Lovecat713:  it takes the eggs 17 years to hatch and eat their way out.
W:  wow, you sure know your cicadas.
W:  and now, so do i.
Lovecat713:  i was supposed to be at home during the time of the cicada invasion.
Lovecat713:  it's bad. there are trillions of them.
Lovecat713:  and they cover everything.
Lovecat713:  and bounce of you.
Lovecat713:  but they never came out at my parents house.
W:  so did that sadden you?
Lovecat713:  SO. MUCH.
Lovecat713:  hence the cicada icon.
Lovecat713:  really. i told my mom i was going to go out and do a cicada dance around the trees to bring them out.
Lovecat713:  and she begged me not to since my sister's graduation party was outside.
Lovecat713:  as though she REALLY believed my cicada dance might bring them on.
W:  hahahahahaha
Lovecat713:  i am not joking! she was like, please, please wait until after gretchen's party.
Lovecat713:  i think if i'd sneaked out to do it and she'd caught me she would have tackled me.
Lovecat713:  i kept doing impressions of what the cicada dance would look like around a bucket in the kitchen.
W:  you should do that dance on your webcam.
W:  then put up some pictures of it.
Lovecat713:  i SO should.
Lovecat713:  basically it involves hunching over, curling my arms up cicada-like, and then sort of stomping/hopping from one foot to the other.
W:  that could catch on.
W:  i mean, i'm sure the electric slide looked ridiculous the fist time someone did it.
Lovecat713:  i bet you're right. and the cicada dance has a PURPOSE.
W:  if enough people started doing it, maybe we could bring the cicada to the west coast.
Lovecat713:  OH MY GOD, perfect.
