How Do You Spell Montage?

So, obviously, I haven't blogged in a while...
And I really need to "break the seal" if you will, or I may never start again. So, this may not be up to par, but it will be....
A MONTAGE OF THE PAST MONTH AND A HALF!!!
(typed)

DECEMBER:

:::knock knock:::
KPD: Werd, I'm with the New Jersey Environmental Federation.
Random Person (RP): It's cold out... didn't you notice?

:::answering machine beep:::
Everyone ever: "Kerry? Are you okay? Call us back."

Dad: December reminds me of my dead sister.

Regional Director dude: I remember being 22. So confused. Unsure what to do. Lots of pressure from friends. Your parents telling you to get a "real job." It's a tough time in your life. So, you really need to not quit, so you can become a field manager, and then open an office because we save more lives than doctors. So, how about that 3 month committment?
KPD: Sorry?

:::knock knock:::
RP: Who is it?
KPD: NJEF!
RP: It's too cold to open the door.

Dad: So, I saw the car, and I went to take her cds out, and for some reason the blood is still wet and it got all over my fucking hands.

:::answering machine beep:::
"Hey, Kerry? Why don't you check your email anymore? We moved last week. FYI..."

RP: Here's a dollar. Go home.

CHRISTMAS:

Dad: Look!
:::holds up streamers:::
Monster snot!

:::kazoo:::
:::tambourine::::
:::harmonica:::
:::Donegal howling:::
Aunt Marnie: We are so the next Partridge Family.

:::Dad shoots a napkin ring across the table with my grandmother's old silver spoon:::
Grandma: What is Michael doing?
Dad: She just hates me because I'm Irish and she's ye old american.
Aunt Gail: Fuck it. Pass the Bailey's.

KGD: Dude, you wear that vest every day.
KPD: My vest increases my bulletproofness.

JANUARY:

Canvass director: Kerry, you have to train new staff.
KPD: kay.
CD: And start FMIT.
KPD: kay.
CD: And get back on driver policy.
KPD: Fuck.
CD: Oh, and your standard is going up 30 bucks. ...You look tired.

:::beep:::
"Kerry? Werd, we were just bluffing. We didn't actually already move."

KPD: Welcome to your observation day. So, what other stuff are you interested in?
Observer: I write poetry.
KPD: Oh cool.
OBS: And my nickname is the Erotic Lover.
KPD: Ah ha....

KPD: Dad? Is it cool if i use the stove to make Ramen while you are bottling mead?
Dad: Mmhmm.....
KPD: ::::moves pot to one side:::
Dad: Damnit!!! That was my pot of dissolved corn sugar!!
KPD: How the fuck was I supposed to know that?
Dad: Fuck.
KPD: Fuck YOU!
Dad: MOVE OUT!
(10 minutes elapse)
Dad: Our inability to de-escalate is proof that we are related.

KPD: Dude, the mirrors on the 'burb are taped on with fucking duck tape. How do you adjust them?
Canvass kid: Mirrors?

:::knock knock:::
KPD: Hi, I'm with NJEF. Can I have 60 bucks?
RP: Sure, who do I make the check out to?
KPD: N, J, E- **CRASH!**
(and by "crash", I mean her toddler daughter managed to get STUCK in my pants cuffs and fell)

RP: Dad! The dog is stuck in her scarf!
KPD: So, **choke** **gasp** Do you agree with our goals?

Canvass kid: What's the problem?
KPD: I am trying to figure out whether or not to catch the next bus... or order another beer.
CK: That's easy. You always order another beer.

CK: Next time we all go ice skating, let's not go on a Friday morning. I'll bet we'll be a lot better when we aren't all hung over.

Mom: I made you mac and cheese. Don't have frostbite.

WEEKEND IN NYC WITH 35 HOME AND FRIENDS:

KPD: Thanks for being in existence, all my 35 home ave friends. Sorry I dropped off the planet. I'll try and be less elusive in 05.
HAPPY MOTHERFUCKING NEW YEAR!

that. was. *amazing*.

oh, and we moved again. not really. but try to read your email once or twice a week?

ooh, and for better readability, to what music is this montage set? i could play it while reading it all... it'd be just like an 80's movie! only, more gen-X-ey. or, gen-whatever we are-ey. what generation are we anyway? not to contribute to the big dilemma the newspapers have been talking about or anything... ooh that gives me an idea for my own blog update...

Hmm.... music for the montage...
Well, I was listening to Foo Fighters "Times Like These", but Blind Melon could also work.. or like, Interpol... the first of 6th tracks from the latest Shins... um.... Green Day "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?"... Oh, and this song I have stuck in my head that I don't know the name of that goes "what the world needs now, is another, folk singer, like I need a hole in my head".
....Or Ashlee Simpson, "La La". That song is fucking amazing.
Feel free to suggest good montage songs.

Oh yeah! I saw it last night actually.
The scene with the Parkway was priceless.
That movie was basically perfect and extremely Jersey.

That was the best montage. ever. in life.

you could have been learning to kill vampires and seduce luke perry, it was so good. "ain't gonna eat out my heart, anymore!..."

so, wait--- a child go caught in your pants cuff? You may want to make sure your cuffs are pin-free if this is going to become a regular occurance.

we should make/drink mead.... yeah.
