And no, the saddest thing is not the fact that my laptop officially bit the dust last week. I didn't even cry. Actually, I did kind of a happy dance in my head while frowning on the outside, so my husband couldn't see how excited I was about wasting money on a brand new/better/lighter/awesomer laptop. So...new laptop is ordered and it will be here Monday. Not having a computer has seriously diminished my time spent on twitter and Mafia Wars (which is the Internet's version of crack), and it hasn't been so great for my writing either, even though I have a new idea that's ready to explode out of my brain.
I think I've gotten off topic.
Oh, yeah.
Saddest. Thing. Ever.
Has anyone seen the Burger King Commercial with Debbie Gibson (She'll always be Debbie, not Deborah, to me), Tone Loc and Brian Dunkleman (co-host with Ryan Seacrest on Season 1 of Idol)? I don't really have to say anything else. As soon as it comes on and Heart starts singing Alone in the background, the fissures in my heart widen and desolation fills my soul, and in my head I'm screaming WHY? WHY? Sally Field style circa Steele Magnolias.
This, of course, is completely different from the Bluebell Homemade Ice Cream commercial (The one that shows the little boy sitting on the porch of a big farmhouse, eating ice cream and looking cute and mischievous), and then his whole life flashes before your eyes (including his first kiss ~sigh~), and then it shows him again at the end of the commercial as an old man, still eating ice cream, and though the commercial doesn't show it, you know it's the last bowl of ice cream he'll ever eat because he's clearly going to DIE. This commercial is only mildly depressing in a Demi Moore, one tear rolling down the cheek like in Ghost, kind of way.
...And my therapy session is over for the day.

I knew this was the topic before I read it. THAT'S the saddest thing ever.
It's because we're cosmically linked. Don't pretend like you don't agree with me.
