Sloppy "Drunk" Goodbye

Leave it to me to have a perfect posting record for the entirety of BEDA... and then fall asleep on the couch watching MacGyrver (hottie, btw) and not manage to get anything up on the second-to-last day. To make up for yesterday, here. The Situation and I went for a hike around some beautiful waterfalls, and now you can pretend you were there. Put it in your scrapbook, tell all your friends. Or, like, don't.

Anyway, here we are. April 30th. I had a great time reading your comments, coming up with stupid jokes, and just interacting with you guys over the course of the month. I know I say this every year, but I'm going to put forth more effort to update regularly on non-BEDA months, too. Even when I have to dig and scrape for anyfreakingthing to say, I think it's beneficial for me to write something for an audience on a frequent basis. And, of course, there could not be a better audience than this one. So many of you stand by me even when you disagree with my opinions, so many of you laugh even when my jokes aren't funny, and every one of you contributes to making me feel great about myself... I know I sound sappy, but I am so, so, so sincerely grateful for this community. (I just reread this paragraph and it sort of sounds like the overly drunk girl at the party who's holding a glass of wine and keeps leaning into everybody and yelling things like, "No, no, listen to me! You're my best friend.") But believe me. I love you guys.

The winner of Thursday's haiku contest (although toastburntbread has pointed out that a true haiku is about nature, and therefore my post was written in senyru) has to be Aimee, whose poem made me laugh out loud:

Refrigerator
Stupid word, where is your D?
You are hard to spell.

Nice. But don't be distraught just because Aimee wins the nonexistent prize-- I was legitimately loving every second of that comment thread. All the rest of you get honorable mentions. Maybe we need to make haiku posts and comments a monthly holiday. I am a fan.

But you know what else I'm a fan of? Shoving food in my face. As soon as the credits of The Lion King are over, The Situation and I are going to tend to the situation of my hunger... situation. This reflective background music (while, granted, about lions) is sort of making me feel depressed about the fact that this is the last paragraph of BEDA. If I were that drunk wine girl at the party, now I'd be sobbing with running mascara dripping into my open mouth. It's been fun, guys. I hope you all have a lovely day, and I'll see you later this week!

Hayley, you rounded down again on the burritos and I don't like it! Now you lost a whole burrito!

CeliaAnn said...

Aw! In case I haven't told you, i'm always looking forward to your posts, Hayley. Thanks for being so awesome.

bassrocks9 said...

Aw! Hayley, I can honestly say that (although somewhat sadly), one of the highlights of my days for the past month has been seeing "The Hayleylujah Chorus" in bold with a parentheses on my Google Reader.
I'm really going to miss that. Please either make sure you life from now until August is SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOT or be less sporadic about your posts! Maybe? For me. Please-and-thank-you.

(PS Oh God, I don't want to even think about how many grammatical errors I made up there. ^^)

bassrocks9 said...

PPS I did NOT make my comment intentionally nearly identical to CeliaAnn's. I promise.

Carrie Lindeman said...

Aw! That was so sweet!! I really hope to see lots of blog posts because I LOVE THEM!!!

Christina said...

I'm going to miss your daily blogs, Hayley! (Hopefully), see you soon though!

anna said...

Sidewalk chalk trumps running any day of the week in my book.

Lys said...

Thanks for a great BEDA, Hayley. Ever since blog-every-day started, I've really looked forward to "A"-months as a time to hear from you regularly. This past month, your blog was often a much needed study break as I plowed through second semester finals for my freshman year of college. As little as it seems, that meant a lot to me.

I don't comment very often, but you should know that quiet readers like me still appreciate your work. What I mean to say is thank you for an entertaining and insightful April.

Now I'm the teary-eyed wine girl!

Izzy said...

i always love your blog posts Hayley. Even if you sound like a drunk girl. You inspired me to do BEDA myself this month, and it was worth the experience. So thanks.

I ate a Chipotle today ... the first of the year!! WHA???

Aimee said...

I was already having a really good day today, and when I came home and read this to find that I won the nonexistent prize in your haiku contest, my day got a million times better, which I didn't think was possible. So thank you for picking me! :D
This month of BEDA with you has been wonderful, because I always enjoy reading your blog posts. Your daily updating will be missed!

Two Wits said...

That drunk girl = my sister

And BEDA has been awesome and quite possibly your funniest yet! I can't wait until August for the next round of BEDA, but I hope you do post more frequently. You're awesome and reading your blog is always the highlight or my day. As goes the life of one who lives on the Internet; my days are sad and meaningless unless I get my Hayley fix (that was meant to be nice, not creepy.)

Niki. said...

It's been great reading your blog posts, even if I did sometimes get behind and have to catch up on the weekends. Your blog is definitely one of my favorites. Hope to hear from you soon! <3

Catherine C said...

Aww I'm said BEDA is over! I looked forward to your blog everyday.. But I understand, you have a life and are probably relieved. :) It was fun!

Kaja said...

I just wanted to say thanks for all the blogs, they've been so fun to read. I've been studying all the time in April and I just kept going because I knew that I will have a reward when I'm done - read your blog. So, thanks for keeping me motivated :)

Indigo said...

Hayley, this was an awesome month! I loved reading every blog post you wrote. They always made my day a little funnier.

nelamonster said...

"But you know what else I'm a fan of?" that was so communitychannel.
I enjoyed your BEDA very much and am looking forward to your non-A-months posts! I love the internet!
And JulGra, you are awesome for remembering the exact burrito count.

Elizabeth said...

DUDE. MacGyver is SUCH a hottie, and none of my friends agree with me. In fact, most just stare at me and roll their eyes at my old man crushes (a legendary joke in my circles). I'm thrilled you agree. :D

Stefan said...

Thanks for a great month. the internet is weird. As silly as it is those drunk moments are some of the best in life. everyone needs a best friend.

Manar said...

Aww Hayley, your #sap is sweet. I haz it too. Lots of #sap.

I hope that you DO post more frequently from here on out. :)

Have fun with The Situation!

Cait said...

Hi Hayley. Thanks so much for entertaining us this month with all your collegey (but cheese-less) Hayley times.
By the way, when you made that reference to Chocolate Boy and linked that Hey Arnold Wikipedia, it sparked something of a Hey Arnold-renaissance for me. Really, all I did over spring break was watch Hey Arnold episodes on Youtube with my sister. Time very well spent. So, thanks for that :D

Kristina M. said...

Thanks for a perfect BEDA Hayley. :) Good times. Hope to hear from you soon.

JemmaOnTheCello said...

Hey Hayley! I would very much appreciate some advice on a VERY SERIOUS MATTER. I would vair much like to start blogging, but I don't know what to do for a first post. If you have any ideas with which you could supply me, I would ve very extremely grateful.

Bel said...

Hayley, it's always so much fun to read your blog posts! I love being part of this community. I feel as if it's a secret society, with our own little inside jokes people know nothing of.
So yeah, it's always a pleasure - keep writing :)

Unknown said...

I adore your blogs and I am so happy you did BEDA. I can't wait to hear from you more haha. Thank you, you're awesome!

DFTBA :D

Emily said...

I loved your BEDA Hayley :) But can you please let us know what's going on with Presence? I loved that blog :(

Anonymous said...

the amount of times I have checked back on the blog since BEDA ended!!!

Anonymous said...

What's going on with Presence, Hayley? We miss you over there!

sterff1face said...

Hahaha, Aimee's refrigerator haiku made me think of my all time favorite go to haiku that I came across in one of those silly books they sell at places like Urban Outfitters, or possibly somewhere on the internets:

Haikus are easy
But they don't always make sense
Refrigerator
