OVER-IT-ISTA

note to copywriters:

adding the suffix 'ista' to create fake nouns is getting real tiresome. examples include recessionista, fashionista, stylista, and storagista. what is a storagista you ask? it's someone who stores stuff, probably fiercely and relentlessly. caught that one on a storage ad on the subway. here are some other uses that are bound to pop up over the next coupla months:

bankruptista - one (most likely a girl or gay man) who has found herself fiercely bankrupt.

couch surferista -
one (most likely a girl or gay man) who has found herself fiercely sleeping on the couches of friends, due to recent bankruptcy.

diarrrheaista -
one (most likely a girl or gay man) who has found herself in a continual state of fierce diarrhea, due to stress of current financial state, lactose intolerance or combination of the two.

temporista - one (most likely a girl or gay man) who temps, fiercely.

On a happy new year note, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2009. HOLY CRAPPITY!! The new year fills me with equal parts excitement and dread. So much to accomplish, so much pressure to live up to goals. It's like DO OR DIE time. I aim to do. A lot. I hope you stay motivated to inch towards your dreams. Let's move (slowly) together, k?

Love,
