I’m 9 years old and I’m really self-conscious about standing out too much in a crowd. I’ll just stay on the sidelines and snack on crunch’n munch while I watch the world go by.
I‘ve decided on the navy blue pinstriped Armani, where the hell are my Ray Ban’s? Shit, anyway yes, I’ll meet you for a martini after the market closes.
Surf’s up! I’ve got hot yoga at 2, then I’m gonna grab a Spirulina smoothie and pull bong hits all night. Later.
Please call me Delores. I love a good game of Bridge with the ladies, and writing on formal stationary. Sometimes I spray the paper with rose-water.
I’ll be busy all day on the front of tee shirts, and then I’m committed to a few bumper stickers. I look really good with exclamation points! You may remember me from “That’s Incredible!” back in the 70’s.
I’ll be delivering bad news all day. And you’ll be required to sign for it.
Ha ha ha ha ha! Come to my birthday party! Read my silly blog! I lost my hermit crab! Wanna hear a funny joke? Visualize whirled peas! The elementary school is having a Bake Sale!
Thoust will be cordially invited to my pretentious wedding. It will be black tie, and very formal. I will arrive in a white Bentley. There will be white roses everywhere, a harp quintet for the cocktail hour, and classical music on the grand piano for the rest of the evening. Brandy will be served from snifters. We will release doves and give you Jordan almonds wrapped in tulle.
Sorry guys, stuck in a logo again. These graphic designers can’t get enough of me. I won employee of the month for the 587th time.
I’m so old I pooped my pants.
Busy weekend, I’ll be waiting by the phone for a callback. If Futura or Helvetica are unavailable, I’ve got the part.
On my way to pick up Brian Denehey so that we can work on the lost and found posters for his cat Mr. Wampuss.
I’ve got a few tattoos lined up tonight. After that I’ll be on the window of a Goth clothing shop. Got an interview for a clothing label, I’ll let you know how that pans out.
Goddamnit. Another weekend on the scroll. These Birkenstocks are killing me. I’d like to get off early so that I can slap on some patchouli oil and head over to Bauhaus’ and catch a buzz.
Last week I got a job in bright yellow across a small camo tee-shirt. I was stretched wide across a beautiful set of titties, got to spell “M.I.L.F.” That beat the shit out of hanging out on the sides of military caskets.
I am stressed the fuck out. What am I doing this weekend? Same thing I always am. Books, magazines, advertisements, brochures, Power Point presentations…I have no social life whatsoever.
Footloose and fancy-free! I’ll be hanging out at wine tastings all weekend, same old same old.
I’m the loneliest dingbat on the planet. I’ll just be sitting at the bottom of your font list, waiting around for the chance to make an appearance as the border on some pre-pubescent girls’ “keep out” sign for her bedroom. You know, since she’s beginning to masturbate.

Poor old Garamond. It just signed up for adult diaper home delivery service.
While drinking his Ensure.
Wingdings/dingbats sum up every day for me in the cube.
poor old cube life.
Haha! I love the pretentious wedding font. You should add “I will be wearing a dress with a train longer than Princess Di’s look at meeeeee.”
love it.
Fucking brilliant!
glad you like big red.
OK, ya got me. I’ve been quietly selecting Ariel as my font for years now, hoping no one would notice, minding my own business! I’LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SELECT IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE AGAIN, er never be able to select a straight edge type face, or …. oh no, I am really out in the open now. Ack!!
If you’re an Ariel guy, that’s ok. There’s no shame in a sans serif font. Just don’t be afraid to explore your sans-serif options, and never, under any circumstances, resort to comic sans.
Well mercy me (as we southerners like to say) it looks like you survived. That is certainly good news because from watching CNN it seems as New Jersey has been washed off of the map!
I did survive thank you! I am in Maryland, and we are inland so there was a lot of power loss, downed trees and flooding but nothing like the beating the coast line took. It’s devastating.
I love “bad news” Courier and hippie Papyrus. I’m off now to Bauhaus to get a bit of downtime.
Hope you had fun with Bauhaus lastnight, I heard Comic Sans showed up and ruined the whole party.
So good. And poor times new roman – so, so true.
Times New Roman, old faithful.
I would love a font for sarcasm and one for cynicism. Then my pithy missives to my boss might not go misunderstood. It’s hard when the boss is …thick.
Google it, there IS a sarcasm font. I just use italics for mine in most cases. It really sucks that there are no italics in texting however, because without them sarcasm is often lost or misinterpreted.
Tracy,
What the fulks? Ariel? Who the fuck is Ariel? Is it Arial’s little sister? Well, she sucks, and she doesn’t sleep, and she vomits on my pjs.
As for Comic Sans… It took me 24 hours to recover from its horrible face… Next time, please add a Spoiler Alert: “Careful, a Comic Sans JPG midway down. It’s in jest, but it’s still fucking ugly” – The Author.

But you know this already.

Very, very clever.
I’m century schoolbook wearing my pants just below my armpits.
Ha! You just made me snort coffee through my nose on that. Thank you!
Le Clown,
Ariel is filled with angst and low self-esteem. She does not sleep well, and constantly bites her cuticles.
Comic Sans, god help us.
Love and Rainbows,
Tracy
Pretty creative post, young lady!
Which font do you recommend for a bellman/blogger/starving author?
anything but comic sans.
i hate that i didn’t think of that. you suck. also, the guy who invented comic sans has publicly apologized and said he wish he had never done so. seriously.
it’s simply because i’m a bit more brilliant than you, and i do suck. well.
i’m sure more than just “well”
