you have a freak flag, you just don't fly it

One of the best lines I have heard/seen in a movie for a while. I watched The Family Stone last night. From the previews, fully expecting a two hour fun dysfunctional family comedy.

Nope.

Yeah, it had it funny parts, but the end is very, very sad. That pisses me off when movies do that. Like Stepmom or The Ya Ya Sisterhood. Damn misleading suns of biatches. Don't they know we watch a FUNNY movie because we DON'T want to be sad! UGH. And for the record, I fly my freak flag proudly ;)

I laid by the pool drinking bloody mary's today. A friend from work was over and (don't judge me) we went to Pancho's for a late lunch.

While we were eating, we noticed a couple in a booth across from us. It was like a train wreck. We could not stop watching them.

He was passed out, on the table, she was teetering on falling out of the booth. Both loaded beyond functioning. We tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they just drove in from, oh, I don't know, Alaska or something. Nope, no benefit, they were f*cked up.

How could they eat? Were they driving? What are they high on? The manager went over and asked if they were ok. They both perked up and tried to finish their meal. Then, I am assuming since they were awake and functioning, it was time to get higher. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle of pills. It took him about five minutes to get the top off and then another five for him to hand her some over the counter.

Meth my friend said. Meth? In a pill? I'm not too hip on my drug terms and usages but nothing surprises me anymore. Then, after further debate we came to the conclusion that it was probably o*xycontin. That is the only thing we could think of that would get them so messed up.

They got up to leave and we followed, if they got anywhere near a car, 911 was going to be called. But no, they stumbled down the shopping center, then proceeded to cross a very busy street, successfully, not safely.

It is very sad to see someone's life being sucked out of them through a bottle of pills. It makes my stomach sick and reminds me of the million times my mom stumbled in in that same condition. blech.

But here is the best part about the whole thing. Well, if there is a best part to seeing two people oblivious to the world around them in a bad way -- she was wearing a shirt that said; "I'm with stupid".

and just for the record, I took the picture for id purposes in case they did get into a car
