Allow me to regale you with a story about flossing

It was time for my bi-annual flossing so I put on my flossing outfit (coconuts, sweatpants, a turban) and went to town and now there’s a metallic, bloody taste happening on the upper right side of my mouth and I don’t like it. Also, there is some pain. Nothing I can’t handle since my pain tolerance is nothing short of superhuman however, but still.

Ok, to be honest, I floss every day. I only put on my flossing outfit twice a year though, so I wasn’t completely telling an untruth.

The pain is not going away. Arguably it’s getting worse. Perhaps the way I was like “ow that hurts, I’m going to do it again, ow that still hurts, I’m going to do it again, yep, still painful, I’m going to do it again,” wasn’t very wise.

In other news I found out last night that Button, the dog I’ve been obsessed with has an adoption pending. I’m happy for Button but sad for me! And then I think: How could I really have become attached to a photo of a dog? And then I think: Wait, if I can become attached to a photo of a dog, maybe I should just get a photo of a dog instead of a dog? I’d put Button’s photo here so you could see how adorable this dog was however it’s no longer on Petfinder and I never copied the photos. It’s kind of tragic!

BUttons responded to media, “I don't agree with the decision of this restraining order because I don't think Ms. ROsen is a danger to my safety, I think she just wants a hug.Also in today's news, Buttons can talk……..”

    Are you related to James Rosen of Fox News' Fox News Show? I see a resemblance. You're more handsome, I must say. (Is that how he got his start on Fox? Through the big sis' connections.)

    And, in regards to the Julia Alison post from earlier, wherein you ask for her advice on how to deal with the negative stuff people say and/or write about you…

    First, WHO writes bad stuff about MY Alison M Rosen?!?! Send me their link: I'll find their IP address and put their email addy's on mailing lists for some particularly exotic porn (always annoying). I'll also forward their emails to a Nigerian fellow I've been in contact with who has this A-MAZING paypal scam. (Seriously, he's really good: you should see my most recent FICA score.)

    Second, you should ONLY read all the wonderful stuff I've written about you in my college-rule composition notebooks. It's all single-spaced in flowery cursive, blue and red ball point pens, scented stickers (pepperoni is my fave), front and backpages filled completely. And I have 20 such books.

    Third-ally, if I was there and you were depressed from some garbage written about you by some basement-dwelling scrub, I'd sit you down, comb your hair, and have you slowly recite the only lyrics I need to get me through a tough time….

    You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have….
