Gosh, I don't think that I've ever been stressed out. Why would I be? I've got practically no respon

[offbalance]

As I may have mentioned here about 23456788 times in the past month or so, work has been STRESSFUL. With a capital FULL.

And it's been taking its toll on me pretty heavily.

So, I've come up with a solution. It's fairly simple, really.

I need to be Karen Walker for a day.

I've never been a huge Will & Grace fan, but I do like the show, particularly Karen, (for those of you who've never seen the show, Karen is Grace's rich-bitch-who-doesn't-give-a-shit assistant).

This would be an example of a Perfect Karen Day:

1. Start drinking early.

2. Eat whatever I want.

3. Go to the spa.

4. Go shopping.

5. Say (and maybe even do) whatever the hell comes to my mind.

So, who's in? I have a lot of friends who are going through mildly or majorly shitty times lately - who wants to be Karen for a day? (Or your drunken loudmouth of choice - Karen's just an example/touchstone of what I've been trying to get at lately.)

I'll pick Jack Nicholson's character from "As Good As It Gets."

Go sell crazy someplace else - we're allllll stocked up here.

Yes. To say nothing of her bisexual sex-capades.

I think I'll leave those in your capable hands (no pun intended). ;)

I prefer beef to fish, personally...

Well it all sounds pretty good to me. Let's start Friday night!

[houseofdanie.livejournal.com]

I'm not invited to that. Start later! I want to see you spouting forth WHATEVER is on your mind.

Tonight is merely a test run. If all goes well, I can see a Karen Walker day being planned for the future.

Do you know what a fun party that would be? We all show up overdressed and get overdrunk and start talking about all sorts of crap. Too bad we don't know any Jacks. I do have a particular gay male friend who might be willing to attend, tho.

Oh yes. I knew I could count on you, Mrs. Parker. ;)

[firynze.livejournal.com]

Cross Karen with House, and count me in!

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

Hahaha - now, that's a pairing I'd love to see!

[feminist-poet.livejournal.com]

I wish I lived closer because I would be SO IN for that!!!

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

I wish you lived closer, too!

[feminist-poet.livejournal.com]

Ah, the good ol' days of the BIG JEWISH DELI!

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

I know. I still can't believe it's gone!!!

[feminist-poet.livejournal.com]

I can't EITHER! I was telling Dave the other day how I would have loved to have taken him there but now it is gone. That place had the BEST matza ball soup EVER.

*waves hand frantically*

Oh! Yes Please!

I love Karen!

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

Yay! And I know you do!

[angelicillusion.livejournal.com]

Yes, Yes, Yes & amen Yes :)

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

Hee. Like the idea, do you?

[drewness.livejournal.com]

Dibs on being the Reincarnation of Hunter S. Thompson.

Hehe. =)

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

I couldn't think of any better person to entrust the spirit(s) of the good doctor to. Hee.

You know what? One of our mutual friends said that I remind her of Karen Walker, and I didn't know if I should be flattered or offended.

But damn, I'd love to live that way.

Like all things, I think it depends on context. I was told by someone at a Christmas party one year that I looked/sounded like Karen. Of course, when one is wearing a slinky top with a black suit with her hair up and drunkenly clinging to a vodka tonic, who else could she look like?
