a little glimpse of me

October 11, 2003

i'm kind of half drunk, so bear with me

Four things with nowhere else to go:

1. Please everyone, notice Julie's new banner. It's rather stunning.

2. I heard the best new phrase ever tonight. one person was posting to another, joking and teasing, essentially calling her a pussy, and then told her that she'd better "cowboy the fuck up" if she wants to cut it in this world. Isn't that great? I am going to have to try to work that into my repertoire whenever possible. At least for the next two or three weeks.

3. Sam took me for an autumn sunset cruise in his fancy schmancy BMW convertible tonight, thereby reinforcing my 50 year plan to someday drive a cool car. For a car like that, I'd even learn to drive a stick.

4. Emily went nuts tonight and called the babysitter "stupid." Anyone wants a piece of her, come on by tomorrow morning around 8. She'll be in the stockade around then. Bring your own rotten vegetables.

Not only was emiliy grounded off the phone today, but I called both of my parents and my sister and asked them to call to talk to her. I figured we needed to get her where it hurt. To her credit, she took it all like a cowboy.

On SI.com today, 'It is time for the Boston Red Sox to Cowboy Up or Shut Up.'. After some research, I see that 'Cowboy up' is when you are injured or down and the prospect of doing whatever it is you're about to try is so bleak that the best you can hope for is to live through it.

Around here, it means something more like "Quit being such a pussy."
