Sometimes I repeat myself

Sometimes I repeat myself. Wait, didn't I say that already? Well, it's because sometimes I repeat myself. With few if any exceptions, we all have our pet topics or phrases or bits of babble that we find ourselves spouting off every once in a while, perhaps making us wonder if we've beaten that conversational horse one too many times or if we lucked out and found ourselves an audience who forgot about the last time we said the same basic thing.

Anyway, today I've said things that I've said before and will surely say again, but I can't remember if I've ever said them in my journal. So I figure, for the sake of completeness, I may as well copy & paste a couple of passages here.


From a comment in someone else's LJ:

Nice guys do not finish last. Nice guys and jerks are running in different races with vastly different goals. If you find yourself yearning for what the jerks are getting, maybe you've let yourself lose sight of what a nice guy really needs in life.

And an e-mail to my favorite list:

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm on to you and your devious lies! Sex is a myth invented by popular people to give us unpopular people one more thing to be sad about missing. But you popular people don't have sex! When you say you're having sex, all you're really doing is going off somewhere to play Yahtzee! Well I have news for you--I can play Yahtzee all by myself! On my home computer! Current high score is 609! And I just realized what number that is if you take out the zero!



Oh dear. I think somebody spiked my tea.

I'm not sure I want to know what it says about me that of all the various things I've babbled today, these are the ones I remember having said multiple times before.

In other news...

My legs are made of Jell-O. Surprisingly enough, even after my super-extra-amazingly-long walk yesterday, I managed to get the Jell-O to walk about three miles today. But the Jell-O hurts and tells me it's gonna get me back.

Out-of-context chat quote preserved for posterity

"Making turtles out of penguin nuts. That's one of the most bizarre creation myths I've ever heard."



(If I can get to sleep soon, maybe I'll have real content for the journal tomorrow. We can always hope.)
