in ur apartment, napping with ur dogs

Heather: I was in ur shower shaving with ur razorz
Heather: And now, I’m in ur bedroom using ur q-tips.

I had just about worked myself into a giggle-frenzy, when Ari shot me an IM from work, informing me that LOLCats were so over. Crap. I’m always a little late to the party. Ah, well. I amuse myself and that’s really all that matters.

I’m in New York for the next several days, camping out on friends’ couches, eating at my favorite corner diners, and getting in some quality nibbling time with my Half Baby (God, Torrie makes pretty progeny). And last night, after stuffing myself on molten chocolate cake with Goldner and Rach, Ari and I headed back to her place for some couch time. We spent the next couple hours gossipping, snorting laughs into the straws in our Diet Coke cans, and torturing her younger brother. It was like I never left. Even (and especially) the part where I got really irritated by sidewalk crowds and grossed out by the fetid, putrid odors oozing from the subway grates. Yeah, that shit hasn’t changed one bit.

Some break-ups just make good sense.

    I have had the EXACT same LOLCats intervention with my best friend.

    If I see “Oh Hai”….one more time….

  • angierl

    I am glad that there were no subway fetid, putrid smells when I was there visiting you. I guess the -7 degrees will take care of that. TX misses you even after 1 whole day.

  • Ari’s a dumb dog person.

    Heather, forgetting the double negatives, the presence of your company is requested. I can dance too.

    I didn’t find out about the LOLcats until this year either, (except for the atrocious spelling and grammar that is, unfortunately, part of the overall movement), but I think some of them are pretty funny. With my dog and his instinct to chase and/or bite anything that moves, any cat in my house has to be virtual…..

  • Aubrie

    Ok, ok….my cynical heart is melting over that beautiful child. Seriously…perfect.

  • KT

    What’s a LOLCat? No, seriously. I don’t know… I’m so lost. I’m not just behind the times, I’m lost in another universe.

  • NICE!!!!

    Are you regretting leaving NYC yet????

  • LEC

    Random question for you – how’s the job search situation going? Will you be staying in TX? Good luck!

  • Suzie

    The funniest one I’ve ever seen was a picture of a love bird standing in a bowl of pasta and the caption read: “Im in ur macaronis, warming my feets” was laughing for a good 10 minutes.

    Sometimes their page formatting leaves a little to be desired, but there you go.

    Seems like it probably time for some LOLfish — Oh Hai, haz u seen my byesickal?

  • Barbara E.

    Cheryl, the “atrocious spelling and grammar” are not plain old internet stupid. The central conceit is that the cat(s) pictured captioned themselves; therefore, misspelling is rampant because they is unskoold, and they has fat pawz hittin many keyz at once (hence the frequent !!!11!; that caps lock key is difficult with pawpads and all!1!)

    IZ IN YOR COMMENT SEXSHUN, EKSPLAININ DA WEBZ.

  • rick from canada

    u know fish (and i’m sure u do) that there is an indescribable moment … that one instant that u cant quite put ur finger one when going “back to the new place” becomes “going home” … the shift in headspace happens without warning … and going back to previous abodes becomes “visiting where one used to live” …. i think u follow

  • mel # 1

    Do you ever still talk to/still friends with J at all? Do you have a current crush or other love/dating potential?

  • lolreader

    ari is bitter, no wonder she doesn’t find lolcats funny.

  • To borrow from Eddie Izzard (in Mystery Men)

    “LOLcats iz nots DEAD!

    LOLcats iz LIFE!!1!”

  • I don’t care what anyone says. I have cried many tears of laughter over the LOLcats at work.
