So it occurs to me that some of my readership lies outside the boundaries of amenity 9, so you might not know everyone I've mentioned on the blog here. Well wonder no more. Over the next few days, I'm going to introduce you to all of my friends!

Till then, kisses, love and some of NotMa's magical goop.

Yippee!

Soupy Sue

Apparently NotMa (who you might have seen once a week at the amenity -- #bladderofsteel) is a fan of the blog and gave me some magical goop to make me more better. Let's hope it works!

Guys -
Sue is sick. Please send flowers and love. Hopefully I'll be back on my feet again tomorrow. Feeling ultra soupy at the moment.
Sue

Things I love:

• Rainbows and/or sunshine
• Twinkies (my secret stash will never go bad!)
• That perfectly soft spot on the ground just outside the amenity 
• Flowers - especially the kind that smell really good
• Friends (shy and loud alike!)
• Pigtails
• My fabulous new lipgloss!
• Finding a coin
• Snow angels (I know it's not cold yet and UGC tries to collect it right away when it does snow, but there's nothing better than going out and making them right as it first starts to snow...)
• My new home (it's coming along so nicely. Let me know if you wanna come by and see it!)
• Happiness
• Bobby

If you're having a low day...maybe thinking of one of those things will help cheer you up! And of course, you were all covered in the list above!!! Cause i <3 u!!!

Mwaaaa!

Soupy Sue

Happy Suesday!

Sometimes you just wake up on the Sue side of the bed and you feel like frolicking through the wilderness and yelling and singing at the top of your voice! I'm just feeling so Sue-tastic and I hope you're in the same boat cause it's the perfect day for sailing!

Love you all Suuuuuuue much!

Soupy

The package was a complete success!!! And Robby said he'd think about being my friend if I brought him presents every day...so you can bet I'm gonna add Robby gift getting to my daily to dos :) :) :) Wheeeeeeeeee!

So, obviously I was very busy and not quite myself the last couple of days, but I realize some of you might not have known the Soupy Sue from the early days of the drought and I kind of just assumed everyone did. So, that was real silly of me, but will be amended now:

I used to work at So-and-So's Diner! I was a waitress there and loved it to pieces. And you might be like: "Really? You loved your job. I don't believe you." But I did -- everything from getting to know all about everyone who came in, to seeing people's transformation after their 1st cup of coffee (OMG do you remember coffee?!?!?!?!?!?!!?), to refilling the ketchup bottles and salt shakers to the perfect level, to the big family meal at the end of the shift where no one talked but the food was so very satisfying...oooh, it was everything.

And you might not even know that that's where I got my Soupy nickname!

One day I was carrying a bowl of split pea soup, when I slipped and somehow got split pea over every ounce of myself. And my bright yellow uniform turned that very particular shade of green. Now this was just after Urine Good Company started to crack down on water usage, and we were only allowed to wash our clothes once a month (gosh, can you imagine that now?!), and anyway, I had JUUUUUUST washed my uniform two days before, so it meant I had pretty much a whole month in my soup-covered uniform, which back then was like forever (again, crazy in retrospect). Now, at first, I was kind of embarrassed about the whole thing -- cause you know, I was literally wearing my failure, and everyone at the diner started calling me Soupy Sue, you know, with some sort of venom in their voices, but then one day, something shifted. And then UGC pushed back the wash-age rules to be once every year and so everyone was kind of in similar boats with what they were wearing, and then the name just kind of turned into a sweet hello, and then it was just regular and part of me, and then I was introducing myself as Soupy Sue.

Then came the day they announced the closure of all non-essential businesses.

I'll never forget it, cause it was my 5th anniversary of work at So-and-So Diner, and that morning, before we opened, So-and-So gave me my annual pickle out of the big jar, and it was as I was taking my first bite that Mr. McQueen entered to give us the news that the doors of So-and-So's would be closing for good. That was the day of my first public cry. I'll never forget the taste of that tear-covered pickle. Ever. It was so salty.

So-and-So isn't with us anymore. Just last week, he was at the amenity, and then he wasn't. Rumor has it they took him to Urinetown in the middle of the night. I wish I'd been able to tell him how much he meant to me before they took him away and I hope he's okay. I miss him so much.

Anyway, I didn't mean to get all sappy again, but I guess that's part of who I am, so I shouldn't try to keep it off the blog, should I?

#reallyrealrealness for you

So - I figured out how to say sorry guys.

A care package. Cause nothing says "sorry, I care so much" like it!!!!

I went to the fancy part of town and went to Dumpstertown, the store at 14th and Pee and found an amazing starfish paperweight and a CD with some lady singing that made me think of him and says something about experiencing the diva (#robbysmydiva) and then I snuck into So-and-So's Diner (the one where I used to work!) and made some cookies for him (oatmeal scotchies -- cause they're like breakfast and dessert in one!!) and then I made him a sorry note using the very best sorry clip art I could find.

Here's the full gift:

What do you think???? Think it'll help him forgive me?

Pllllllllleease Robby!!!

Xoxoxo,
Soupy

UPDATE:

I snuck back to the amenity cause the guilt was making me a crazeball and saw that Robby was standing, so phew, #starfishup. I didn't have the nerve to say anything, cause how on earth do you apologize for something like that?! So, now I'm back hiding in my home again and trying to get my stupid brain to let me be a person again.

....Soupy

Guys -

I am mortified.

Today I was rushing cause I really did have to pee bad, and when I was trying to jostle for a spot in line, I knocked into Robby and he fell and 100% starfished out on the ground, hard. And he was just staring up at me, but, like, not with his thinking eyes, you know.

And...I so am ashamed to say it...but I just ran away. Like, as fast as I could.

And now I'm hiding out in my new home and omg I'm so happy I don't have those stars up anymore cause I think they'd just make me think of his starfishiness now.

Robby, if you read this I'm so sorry. And if anyone at the amenity sees this, can you tell me...is he okay? Guys, I hope he's okay.

This is why you limit your water intake; so you don't possibly kill your potential future best friend.

Sloppy Sue

Eeeee! Look I'm v-logging! #soupytasticandtrendyashell 

I dunno if you can really see him in the video, but omg he's just so cute!!!! Fer serious. 

#soswoonable

Soupilly Yours,

Sue

So I got a little sad when no one responded to my roll call...and I've been feeling like maybe no ones actually even reading my blog, because I've never got any comments on anything, but then I had a thought -- What if all of my readers are just shy? What if I'm the one bringing butterflies of joy and hearts of squee-ness into their lives? What if during my past couple of days of silence they slipped into a vortex of sadness because they couldn't read my words here? And these words here. And this one. Here. Who am I to deny them my voice and how could I possibly have ever thought to keep that from them?!?

So, I'm back, stronger than ever and I'm so sorry I went away! I promise I'll never ever leave you again. You are all the most wonderful people in the world and I'm so happy to have you here with me, even in your silence. You've given me a new reason to live and gosh-darnit, I'm gonna do my dandiest to do the same for you.

So, Soupy powers activate to help us all #winthegameoflife!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Soupy Sue

Heeeeeeeey!

Roll call.
Is anyone out there reading this?
Comment below if you are!!!!

I love you guys soooooooo much!!!!

Your bestie,
Sue

Well the mystery of the missing home continues to go unsolved, but the crisis has been averted as I found a new box and am in the process of re-decorating my home now. I think this time I'm gonna draw ferns inside instead of flowers, so it'll be like a jungle!!! And I might be a little pickier about the smells of the soft stuff in my bed this time, cause I think I may have accidentally added a dead animal last time...anywho, that's what my day is gonna be today!

But before I get to that, I want to #berealreal for a second here on the blog here. I have a confession: sometimes I go to the amenity and wait in line even though I don't have to pee, and then I'll get to the front of the line and pretend like I don't have enough money (even though I actually do have enough money), and then I just go back to the back of the line and pretend to count my money and smile at Bobby (and use my lip gloss liberally) and talk to everyone about their lives and continue to repeat this process until the amenity closes and/or I actually do need to pee. So that's why it might seem like all I do is hang out at the amenity...cause I kind of do. And don't get me wrong, sometimes I do have to pee a lot, but...well...most of the time I just want to hang out!

(OMG OMG OMG I can't believe I shared that. I mean, I'm still not sure if anyone actually reads this thing, but just putting it out there into the world is like the best thing ever.)

I hope with me having to spend so much time rebuilding my home now people won't forget about me. Gotta get this house built fast! Don't worry everyone, I'll be back at the amenity again soon and I miss you dearly already!!!

Yours always and forever,
Soupy Sue

Hey guys....has anyone seen my home? Slash can I crash with you tonight?

I just got back and I think either Pee-onie didn't like my home or someone is a fan of this blog and also of my home that was....

Anywho --- hit me up if you've got space to spare!

Kthanks,
Sue

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I made a new friend today! She's the sweetest, kindest, most wonderfullest and I can't wait for you to meet her.

Here's a picture of her:



Isn't she adorable!?!?!?!? I think she's either a beefy cat or a cuddly raccoon, but I'm not quite sure. All I know is I love her.

I've decided to name her Pee-onie after the flower and my favorite activity, peeing (#causeurinationisthebomb) and I've invited her into my home.

I've gotta run, but I'll log back on later with more.

XOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXOOXO

Hey guys.

Wow. I just reread yesterday's entry and miiiiiiiiiiiight have over-reacted a little bit, cause I finally couldn't hold it anymore and went to the amenity....and it was like the water works never even happened. Like, at all. Everyone was 100% just like they'd been pre-cryfest. I even asked Little Sally about it and she was like, "What happened?" So, yeah. Life is way good again and it turns out it was nbd, so I skipped all the way home.

OMG - I haven't even told you about my home. I haven't had much in the way of company, well, ever, but let me tell you --- it is CUUUUUUUTE. Now at first you might just look at it and be like -- she's living in a box. But but but but but....I've made it into a wonderland of all of the things that give me joy. So there are flowers growing everywhere. I mean, everywhere. They're drawn with marker and they don't really smell unless I rub something on them, but if you close your eyes really hard and hold your breath until you almost pass out, sometimes it's almost like smelling a flower again. Like super close. And I've made the whole floor of my home into a bed -- cause bed's the best place to be, ever, amirite?! So I've been collecting all of the softest things I can find from everywhere and stuffing it into the floor of my home, so it's like the most squishy happiness ever. But my favoritest of all favorite parts is that even through the stink years, my mommy held onto the thing that was her most favoritest thing from when she was a kid so she could give it to me and when she was passing on, she handed it down to me. And, ugh, I'm like tearing up just thinking about it (but in a cute way this time), cause it was the most wonderfullest of all things -- ready? They are these tiny little stars with little stick-ems on the back. So the roof of my home is covered in these perfect little stars. So even though I'm inside, I have all these incredible little lights of love above me, while I'm spread out on the most comfortable stuff in our town and surrounded by growing flowers on every side...it's just...well, whatever the opposite of Urinetown is. Nwoteniru. Yep. It's Nwoteniru. So every night when I go to bed, all of these things around me tell me it's all gonna be okay and I fall asleep with a smile on my face.

Woof. That got a little sappy there. Sorry y'all.  This blogging thing is hard.

But..........I added a super cute selfie of me to the side. Did you see!? #soupieforthewin

Anyway, that's all for now!!! See you again tomorrow :)

Love,
Soupy

Guys, I wanted so much to keep this blog #purelypositive, but it was really not such a good day today.

I tried out #missionlipglosswillstealhisheart and everything was going great, until I had the Soupiest of Sue moments. Tiny Tom was making another one of his hilarious jokes and I couldnt stop laughing, and then I was cry laughing and then suddenly just crying. And it's not cute when you're making waterworks where the water works. Anyway...as fab as my lips looked, post-laugh-cry-crying, my eyes looked swampy savage and not in a cute way.

And worst of all, Bobby saw!!! Even Ms Pennywise shot me a 'you okay?' look. Ms Pennywise?!?

So my life is over and now I'm just trying to hold my pee for as long as I can so I don't have to face everyone again. For  the first time ever I'm wondering if Urinetown might be better than here.

Stupid Sue

Wow! What a day! Not sure if anyone's out there listening, but if you are.....hellooooooo!!!

Bobby told me he doesn't feel right actually following my blog because he doesn't want to show any favoritism to any of the poor who frequent the urinal. Isn't he the kindest, most wonderful-est of all? I mean, really, he is just everything.

And guess what?! I found an almost full tube of lip gloss near a dumpster yesterday, but not inside it, you know, cause yuck, but OMG it is amazing. It makes my lips all shiny and pretty, so when I looked at my reflection in the toilet bowl it was like, wow. I mean, really. I've never really liked how I look (and this isn't me reaching for a compliment, I'm just being real, because that's how you're supposed to be in these blogs #speakingallthetruths), but when I put it on, I feel like a pouty goddess or a glamorous cartoon or something. I mean --- squeeeee!

I'm gonna try putting some on tomorrow and maybe I'll get you-know-who's attention (hint - his name starts with a B and ends with an obby...). Maybe Becky Two Shoes and Robby the Stockfish will even let me cross the line in the dirt to join their circle of fun tomorrow....omg you guys, I'm just so excited about the #gloss-ibilities!

Anyway.........that's all for now. I've gotta do a late night #1.

I'm gonna save the debut of the lip gloss till tomorrow, when there's more light so I can take full advantage :) :) :)

Until then - sunshine and rainbows to all.

So much love,
Soupy Sue
