girapus (giraffe + octopus). Although I've
never really met a girapus, I'm certain
that she is as crazy as one. I recently
had a short discussion with Serena
about what it would be like if her head
was a mushroom. She seemed to like
the idea. She is crazy. Yet, as with all
girapi in the world, she's super cool and
totally worth getting to know (just watch
out for those crazy tenticles).
guess I tricked her, but I thought she
was wikkid smaat. She makes me blush.
Oh yeah, she is also rad and is pretty
good at wearing capes.
store on a tuesday buying orange juice
and shampoo and you weren't doing
anything that day and then you see your
friend in the parking lot, and suddenly
you have the funnest day ever because
she takes you to explore abandoned
buildings and then you egg someone's
house and then you enter a dance-off--
and win--and end it by sitting on a porch
with a tasty beverage, plotting, always
plotting...
serena embodies that day. serena is the
funnest day ever.
Episode III and Oh Brother
notwithstanding. Perhaps you are ready
to become one with the ephemeral Ma
and eat lotus petals and poppies make
them sleep for eternity to come. I am at
work and therefore not responisble for
my comments.
a mission, and you asked serena if she
would watch it for you with nothing but
her creative intuition and a bag of
sticks, she would construct some sort
of sentry and then catch up with you
the next day and go on the mission with
you (and you might wonder how a robot
made of sticks could hold off batches
of the five foot tall insectoid shock
troops, but then that thing kicks all
their chitinous butts) ... this woman
wins the titan-style abject beauty
award without ever filling out a
contestant application (every
season!) ... i have some paths near
some woods that i keep secret most
times, and serena has instant access to
all of them all the time ... the trust
that i feel toward her sits in a pool
of fierce, bright liquid (and the trust
bathes in it, and splashes around
too)... to be in the same room with her
is to subject yourself to levels of
mirth that characters like pac man and
mega man only speculate about ... she
makes you laugh, and when you're done
laughing you feel cleansed, then you
realize that she's inspired you to
generate humor of your own to use ...
(it's like soul show and tell, but it's
a sleepover as well) ... she is
frigging rad, to the point that she is
the prime rad ... i really love serena
a bread stick
long while now, though we've not kept
in touch as well as we should have. I
have much to say about her and no idea
where to start. Serena is The Truth,
a woman who lives her life well and on
her terms. Her music has been an
inspiration of mine since I first
heard it in a building that was
falling down around us, it is life and
worth to her as much as it inspires
me. My first love and my most trusted
friend, Serena is more than any of us
can imagine. "I will never have the
heart or ability, the presence of mind
to pound into form the velocity of
your presence." Tetsu-no
of making me a famous bad hairdresser
moviestar make me smile.. not as much as
when she smells her feet at lunch, or
drinks rum on a monday. You gotta give
a girl credit for spending her teen
years drinking hamburgers and winning
that break dancing competition.. you go
girl.. all the way to the top.
