My particular brand of crazy = extra crazy

Part three:

The other questions were basic but still so much fun to answer (and I was rating how much I like these things on a scale of 1 (loathe) to 10 (lurve):

Running errands irresponsibly and often

7, I like being able to say "crap I forgot cotton balls at Target" and going to get them but I also hate traffic, crowds and spending money. So if I was forced to live without something because I couldn't conveniently get it, I'd be okay with that. Resourcefulness!

Carrying purchases 5-10 blocks

5, because I've never done it I don't know. I imagine I'd look pretty awesome pushing a crazy old person cart down the street though. Maybe get some cats to hang out the sides.

How much money do you spend on your insurance and gas per month?

I spend $50 on insurance and about $160 on gas a month. Not to mention the emotional cost of all these accidents (since none have been my fault there’s no payout on my end) and the ulcer I’m growing on account of the almost constant road rage (seriously if I never see another bicyclist I’ll be happy; no one knows how to drive around them- slamming on your brakes is a wonderful idea dumb dumb!). And if I got a new car I would have a car payment again, probably upwards of $150 (GROSS!!!). And while the car would be slightly nicer and gas would go down because of non-16-year-old mileage, the insurance would most likely go up and it would be a wash.

So I’m hoping that this writing is helping my crazy run its course. For the most part I just want to be drunk or sleep all day long. Or both. That could be the PMS talking but I've felt that way for a while now. I blame all the car accidents and the fact that I want to move out of my house so badly I'd be willing to kill a man. Well, not really. Maybe punch a man in the throat. Or a really ugly baby. It’d have to be pretty ugly though. Le sigh. I don't like being stressed! It doesn't suit me at ALL. My sarcasm gets more and more sardonic and scornful. 

Though when I think about it, that totally does suit me.

I'm just going to come out and say it, THERE IS NOT A FUCKING THING WRONG WITH OWNING AND USING A GRANNY CART. God wouldn't have put the idea into someone's brain if it wasn't a good one. (Okay, one time I did get the idea to crack open a Magic 8 Ball and drink the blue fluid inside. But, just like my friends on Psych, I asked the Magic 8 Ball first. And, just like on Psych, it said that I should.) So, long story short - not all ideas are good ideas, but the granny cart is a fucking brilliant idea!

In summation, we both know that you’re totally jealous of the granny cart I bought from City Liquidators. You must deal with your feelings and move beyond them. However, if you ever see me pushing my granny cart while walking a cat on a leash, you have my permission to recruit the second person required to initiate involuntary commitment proceedings under ORS 426.070.
