There’s that old song by Rick Springfield called Jessie’s Girl. This is basically a joke that only I laugh at because it’s too much explanation. It’s a song about a dude pining for his friend’s girlfriend.

Anyway, here are the lyrics (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYkbTyHXwbs):

Yeah, I know, he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine

And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
Yeah, and he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had

Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?

So what’s so funny? I cannot get my own remixed version of the song out of my head and every time I hear it or think of the song I change the lyric to

You know I wish that I was Jessie's girl
I wish that I was Jessie's girl
Why can't I be a woman like that?

In my head canon this changes the meaning from wanting to get with your homie’s girl to a gender bendy journey, wishing to transition MtF. The mundane factor comes in from the joke not being very good, but it hasn’t stopped me from giggling about it for a few years!

My cat can’t for the life of him make normal cat noises, but he still makes noise constantly. When he walks down the stairs, he’ll make little mep noises. Combine this with his inability to slow down, and you get the occasional mep mep mep BANG as he hits the basement door. It doesn’t hurt him, because he’s part cartoon, and its so absurd its hilarious.

People whose names form complete sentences. Pete rose. Jalen hurts. Imogen poots.
