Train of Thought: Derailed

July 23, 2006

Do you ever start entries, and then save them as drafts to "come back to later"? And then later never comes around, and by the time you realize you have a draft you can't remember where in the world your thought process was going?

No? Just me? Hmph.

I started this entry several months ago and never finished it. Care to finish it for me?

I often brag to Roger that I have The Largest Bladder In The World, as evidenced by my ability to go an entire workday without peeing. I'm also able to sit through a movie without leaving for the bathroom, which I find particularly helpful because: you, who just got up? The entire direction of the movie will be altered in the one scene you miss while you're gone. Next time, maybe you should consider bringing along a catheter if you can't hold your pee for a mere two hours. I'm totally looking down upon you from my lofty position atop my Very Large Bladder.

Today, I realized that the reason I never have to use the restroom is because I often forget to drink water. Each day I have a bottle of water sitting atop my desk, begging me to stop dehydrating my organs, and I just ignore it. Sometimes I wish I had a popup reminder to drink water every thirty seconds, but then I think about how I'd spend all that time just dismissing the reminders, and I think about all the reminders I'd have to close that popup while I'm away from work, and the mere thought of it wears me out.

Please, go forth, and finish my entries for me. (It's sort of like Choose Your Own Adventure, don't you think?)

Well, I don't know what adventure I'd choose but I can totally relate with the super large bladder/not drinking enough. Everyday I'm like, "Did I go to the bathroom today?" Totally need the pop-up drink reminder.

2

I'd just leave it at that.

I need my pop-up to say "Drink WATER - nothing else!" I've found that gallon jugs of iced tea on my desk have a way of disappearing. But caffeine is so bad for hydration - kind of defeats the purpose.

I can't, because seriously, I have the World's Smallest Bladder, but then again, I drink ALL THE TIME, but honestly? I can't make it five minutes without peeing.

Jonniker: Can you imagine how it's going to be when you're pregnant?

So today, I (Jes), decided to offer up The World's Largest Bladder for sale on Ebay. Because I'm not drinking water, so have no use for the Bladder anyway, and I'd really love to travel to Tahiti with Roger, so we could use the cash infustion. Once The World's Largest Bladder is purchased by a major pharmaceutical company and duplicated, it will be available for purchase by the general public and we can all relish in the fact that none of us have to miss critical plot moments (or juicy sex scenes) ever again!

AHEM... (Insert throat clearing here)

if you had read MY POST ABOUT THIS SAME THING

I am so upset that I don't have time to finish this post for you.

just kidding, I MUST try my hand at this

... and the mere thought of it wears me out.

Speaking of being worn out, I am get worn out so easily these days, mostly from riding around on this high horse - I call her arrogance. I just love her. From up here I can look down on everyone that I know and I can see their faults and their tiny bladders. Arrogance is the color of ivory and cream and her mane is so shiny it sparkles. It is way shinier than KT's hair which looks like straw in comparison to Arrogance's mane.

While riding Arrogance I never have time to read Eddo's blog. Mine is WAY better anyway. I mean, I'm Chirky, which is easier to type and remember than POSTED NOTE. Who came up with that dumb name anyway? So lame. www.eddoislame.com is what he should have called his site.

Well, I gotta run, Arrogance needs to be fed and brushed and then we have to go for a ride around my office and look down on all the people that I don't like.

I can't finish this entry because I have to run and go pee. RIGHT NOW.

eddo, what you wrote has EXACTLY your flair. Love it.

also, you should know that when i was trying to choose a new name, i thought to myself (more than once) "postednote is so clever. i want something clever."

I also thought that jenandtonic was clever, but my name really can't be made into anything clever, and i personally know that since roger and i sat on the couch thinking how unclever my name is.

and lo, the dictionary came forth. and lo, chirky was found. and lo, i was tired of reading the dictionary. and lo, it became this site.

11

You are starting to sound like a Lil John song at then end of that... "Get Lo... Get Lo...Get Lo..."

I'm off to delete the duplicate comments on my site... and thanks for saying Posted Note is clever... and I love the name Chirky, it is easy to remember and easy to type and fun.

And so I decided one day to test out said largest bladder in the universe. So I dragged Roger to a marathon showing of all the Lord of the Rings (he wasn't keen on going but I'm a nut for long movies so he buckled and drove to Nebraska with me to see it at a special showing where everyone dressed up like characters (on a sidenote I look cute with elfin ears so I think I might get ear implants)). So at this marathan screening I decided to consume a 2 liter of tea (that gets the bladder going) for each movie and not allow myself to go to the bathroom until you wave goodbye to little hairy feet frodo sailing off into the wild blue yonder. I then thought about my ginormious bladder and figured I could double the amount of tea per movie, infact I would make it a bladder filling tea drinking game. Every time pointy ears appeared on screen I had to take a long drink of my five gallon tub of tea. I will say that after 8+ hours of ears and tea I sloshed a bit as I walked to the bathroom but my bladder held up to the challenge. I think I might have also set a record for longest peeing EVER. I must not research that on the internet to see if I can market that ability into a job that allows me to blow this pop stand of a cubicle and travel the world showing off my bladder and peeing skills. the end

Jes: I think about that ALL THE TIME, actually. It's going to be heinous. HEINOUS. With flooding.

14

"bringing along a catheter" - OK that is so funny I have to pee now.

btw, Eddo's was excellent, but Katie's was beyond excellent. I cannot imagine drinking a 32 oz iced tea during a movie and making it until the end.

So funny!!!

Im sure you were a favorite child to take on car trips. My brother and I never had to stop for a pee break either. I had a test done in middle school where they filled my bladder full of saline or some such and I got to see how big my bladder actually is. Even the nurses were like, "Wow."

16

I do exactly the same thing! In fact, some of my posts are just titles. I hate to erase them, even long after I remember what I wanted to do with the post, since who knows how it may come in handy later.

As for the mega-bladder, I'm so jealous. I used to have one, but now I have to pee hourly, it seems. More if I'm in a movie. It's like the longer I'm supposed to wait between bathroom breaks, the shorter I can hold it, probably because I'm concentrating so hard on *not* having to pee that it makes me have to.

I bet you're thrilled to hear about the urination habits of all your commenters, aren't you? ;-)
