Tada!
New blog.
Weird, I say. This all feels too weird. It could be the Ease II pain reliever I took on an empty stomach that is making me feel so crazy, since it’s #2 ingredient is crack cocaine. Apparently. Ease II is that First Aid kit-brand pain reliever you get at work that, if you aren’t careful, will have you jacked up at 2:30 a.m. with a severe case of teeth clenching and a good, oh, 4 or so hours to kill before any serious shut-eye. But no headache. No sir! Just a pulse like marathoner and a lot to say.
But, yeah, this feels like cheating in way. That pale, purple pitas “Add an entry” page was a constant companion to me for nearly four years, and while this TypePad “Compose a New Post” page is really clean and organized and easy as pie to use, I’ll miss the slow loading pitas editor. The pita people are such good people, so laid back and generous. The buttons you push when updating your blog say things like “switch er up!”–how can you not love that?
I must admit I’m glad my URL doesn’t have the word “pitas” in it anymore. Typing it is one thing, but saying it is quite another. “Pitas?,” they’d say. “Like the food?” I’d agree, yes, it’s food, but this “weblog deal” has shit-all to do with Mediterranian bread. Oh yeah, and the name Misc., etc. is finally fucking dead. I’ve hated that name for so long. I thought it was okay at first, but the two abbreviations in a row gave people headaches when linking or searching and it was sort of not representative of the site really. Sparkwood & 21’s only tricky element is the ampersand. The ampersand is crucial. Those of you nice enough to update any link you may have to the old place should not write out the word “and.” Just to avoid any confusion.
Links to your fabulous site, an about page, photos and countless other edits soon to follow. The Ease II is wearing off and gravity is wrestling with my head.
This feels like saying goodbye to a new lover too soon, and after a lackluster first-ever make-out session.
Um…Was it good for you?

yay typepad? it has the prettiest page about its ability to make pages, so that must count for something, right? hooray for permalinks at least? & rules! (ps - is the time zone off, or am i late for work?)
Why is “yay typepad?” a question? Why are you questioning the hooray-ity of permalinks?
WHY AREN’T YOU IN BED?
congrats on the move. maybe you should kicked it off by telling me all the people you know who think i’m cute.
This lass who fancies you, tapey, is a firecracker with a Friendster account. E-mail me for more details.
Oh! Wow. Here it is. Newness. Change is good… What does “Sparkwood & 21″ mean? It sounds like a road-intersecty-thingy.
Cooper: Do you know why I’m whittling?
Truman: Okay, I’ll bite again. Why are you whittling?
Cooper: Because that’s what you do in a town like this where a yellow light still means slow down and not speed up.
hi!
just following instructions
Hi!
(ditto)
hi
[this is blog]
Hi!
[see above]
Hi!
You have a fine mind, brittney
[this is me following orders]
Like the new place.
Must … resist … must … not … assimilate …
“Hi!”
ARRRRRRRGHHHHH DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN
A new beginning. A crazy-dancing-vegas-scene to close one door and open another.
A bookmark overwritten.
Good luck.
You’ll call, right? The last blog that came in and rushed through it and left after a lackluster makeout session promised it would call. It never did. But you’re different, right? Right?
Nice new space, Miss B. You are simply one of the best writers I’ve ever read; ‘net or elsewhere. Keep it up, or we’ll take away the donuts from the breakroom.
HI![Good.]
Gruetzi!
Hi!
[following orders too]
Jeepers H. Crackers!
Congrats on your move! Love you!
You know, Britt, you did manage to evoke a kind of melancholy feeling here, reading the last and the first. I can’t explain why, but… hrm.
Anyway, congratulations on the move. I hope you like it over here. Things already look good, and the barrel has mere drops in it right now.
Hoi hoi.
[also good]
[this is good]
e. e. cummings?
Hi!
CONFORMED.
Hi!
Nice. Clean. White. Not grey and green. Tidy.
Congrats on the move!
(Although I have to say I miss the picture of the little girl flicking me off.)
Welcome to the neighborhood!
I like to watch TV. Do you have hobbies?
Hi!
My last post got lost in cyberspace.
I like the site, clean, and green.
Hi.
Can we be buddies?
[this is better]
[this is hi]
[this is hola]
liking it!
you really are a great writer.
Hi!
ciao.
[this is an analgesic]
Hey there Btitt.
Looking good!
HI!
BTW.. still want to borrow the Elephant Man DVD?
Hey Brittney, as a webgeek, I should point out that this site now uses excellent, structural HTML, and CSS for layout, no tables. This is a good thing.
Hi.
Brit, that header is ugly. I love you.
dig it. makes me think i just might get one all my own.
Hi!
So glad you’re not homeless, homegirl.
So, aren’t you going to invite us in? This fridge looks pretty empty. You got your music unpacked yet? Oh, I thought that was sturdy enough to sit on. Whaddya mean, there’s no TP?
I think it’s cool how ugly the header is. It reminds me of puking in the forest. Ah, memories.
It’s nice to have you here.
HI!
How can you actually write enough to have a blog? I just can’t seem to get the time, energy and inspiration.
[this is me saying hello]
hi!
i agree, you are a wonderful writer.
Hi there, lovely lady! Just drifted in to prove I read the posts. Nice job, good writing, clean design. [this is good]
[b] [I Have complied] [/b]
Yo.
Note that I did not say “Hi.” This is because I am a maverick.
Must comply.
Hi!
Olá! Parabéns!
You I saw in Vegas! You the dancing girl aren’t you? Me likes yes hellO bye!
Fashionably late as usual.
Hi.
You have many loyal readers and fans. It’s deserved though, so I’ll reserve my collection of robin eggs from 1972 for another occasion.
Hey, you air-punchin’, Vegas gogo dancin’, camp-for-bad-girls lovin’, airplane-hurlin’ wondergrrrl. You’d best just sit your fine self down and start doing some serious typing. You’re only, like, one percent of the way through your soon-to-be-successful-beyond-your-wildest-dreams writing career. We’ve got high expectations, and we won’t let you say no. I mean, how else can we live vicariously through you?
Congratulations on the gleaming new place.
HI!
:)
This is better than “dog-ate-the-leash you-had-used-to drag your half-sized amputee fooling-around-on-his-mistress boytoys around”
sklero:
The header is preppy-ghetto fabulous, and you know it. Those colors remind me of a striped Polo shirt I had in 1982 or so, which makes me think of fresh cut lawns and nauseatingly sweet bubble gum.
It’s so ugly it’s not.
Say it’s not.
Um…it’s not?
Some nice digs ya got here. [walks around, scratching chin and nursing beer] New appliances & all.
P.S. Sparklewood & 21? Sounds like one of those indie bands that I read about, never actually hear, and assume they sound exactly like Pavement.
Okay, my problem was mostly with the fonts, which you’ve either changed, or are displaying differently differently in Safari. It looks good now.
Hi! Clean and roomy ’round these parts. I like.
Um…Was it good for you?
>>
hey, sugar.
this reminds me of a first date.
i didn’t know her at all, but she looked so good i couldn’t help but ask her out.
bout half-way thu supper, she tole me “you talk a good game. i want you to know if you are no good, i will tell everybody i know.”
i had to grin at this, and she says “that doesn’t make you nervous?”
hell, no, honey.
i don’t know anybody you know.
[rock on]
Oy. (Maverick AND dyslexic here.)
So glad to see the new site. Rock on, and thanks for the link.
Yay! grats on the new site Britt!
OOoohh, I like.
And, you have an RSS feed now! Life couldn’t be better!
