i'm a barbie girl

Since I've learned how to add music to this site, each time I update, I will try to add a new song, letting you know what you're listening to while you read my thoughts.

Today: "Moya" GodspeedYouBlackEmporer!

I have decided that for xmas, I am going to buy myself a barbie doll. I remember the days when my sister and I would play barbies with the neighbors and its one of my happiest memories of my childhood.. I want to get that feeling back. I want to build mud pies and make forts.

Of course, I can't leave out the part where I mention that Barbie, although not anatomically correct (or so to speak) has the body I have always dreamed of. She has the hot boyfriend with the perfectly plastic hair and the stylish clothes. She owns her own house, which evidentally is a dream come true (hence the "dream house" title), a corvette, and a beautiful pink 1957 Chevy Bel Air (someone please remind me to tell you a story about that car in the near future). She stands for all powerful corporate women with all her wonderful jobs (i.e. doctor, lifeguard), and her amazing friendship with the physically challenged (see barbie's friend in wheelchair). She is the epitomy of PC and although I never looked up to her before, she is officially my new role model in my 20's.

But most of all, I want her because shes a kickass toy and when I was little, I would chew on her feet, cut up her hair, and bathe her in my toilet. Its about time that long forgotten tradition has come full circle. Barbie is just the beginning and I figure she can show me the rest of the way..

and on that note, I'm going back to work now... whew.
