Pillow Pants

So I've been surfing the internet and found some interesting things.

Let's discuss the pillow.

The fluffy thing you sleep with at night that rests gently beneath your head.

Filled with feathers or cotton or mooshy stuff, it's ever so comforting.

Now I've seen such things as a pillow shaped like a hamburger or a monster or winnie the pooh. I've even seen one with a picture of the devil herself printed across it (Hannah Montana), but as I've surfed tonight I don't think I could look at a pillow the same way again.

Exhibit A: The Hug Me Pillow

For the EVER SO LOW PRICE of $29.99, you could own this creepy pillow with an amputated arm attached, so you can wrap yourself in an imaginary person's arms.

I guess if you're lonely, it could help you out... but, there are ways to help with loneliness, without buying a one armed pillow, such as: joining a club, talking with your neighbor, talking with your co worker, talking to someone, talking to anything, therapy, prozac, family reunions, an actual person hugging you, kittens, anything but a dismembered arm...etc..

Exhibit B: OH MY GOD. oh wait... they're sleeping.

I don't even know what to say about this one. It's kinda funny, in a creepy way.

and finally...

Exhibit C: Dakimakura

Dakimakura or... "hugging pillow" is a japanese pillow that has a picture of your favorite scantily clad anime character printed across it. And it's life size. These will definitely cure.. uh. something.

I guess this is for the very lonely and fairly wealthy, you could buy these for about a $100. I guess that's cheaper than some girlfriends.

Just like we do

I haven't seen my boyfriend for almost 2 weeks exactly.

We live far from each other. According to google maps we're about 152 miles apart.
Even though I sound terribly corny,
I miss him.

Long distance relationships can work. As long as you have set times of seeing each other. If you don't, then you're bound to fall apart.

You see, I see my boyfriend routinely once every 2-3 weeks and those weekends we spend together, are the little bites of hope I get out of this hamburger of a relationship.

Then the known fact that we will not be like this forever also helps. He's planning to move here.
I seriously doubt I'll be able to take another year of this.

Being a silly 18 year old, you're probably thinking, oh this girl is in a silly relationship that can't last.
You know what?
I don't care, I'm happy and I'd like to revel in this happiness. Just roll around in it like bubbles in a bubble bath.

And you know the good about the time apart? We have plenty of time to think of ways to be creative.
And I mean creative in the...
well you know what I mean.

I'm going to head off to bed now, I've got work in the morning.
You'll know who I'm dreaming about.
