Football

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

I honestly don’t know why I am sitting downstairs with my parents watching football on tv. This has to be the most boring shit ever broadcast on television, well next to golf that is. They just finished playing one game and as soon as it ended they start showing the next one. It’s pure madness I tell you!

Truthfully though I find most sports boring. It may be a gay thing, or it may just be the fact I’ve never been good at any sport. Although I do love ice hockey, not on tv, but in person. I really need to get some tickets to see a game. The arena is less than three miles from our house so its very convenient.

Does anyone else hate Adam Sandler & Will Farrell? They are so annoying! Sorry, I saw a commercial for an Adam Sandler movie. Oh and the random fact of the day is that woodchucks are actually just groundhogs.

Oh, I’m being called away ton play Yahtzee with my mom. Guess that’s my cue to run. Later y’all!

Halloween

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

I know I’m almost two months early talking about Halloween, but I had a thought earlier that brought back repressed memories. All of my friends (and some family) have always found it odd that as long as they’ve known me (or can remember) I’ve always hated Halloween with a passion. I never really understood why myself, and as an almost teenager my friends thought it was weird that I’d pass up the chance for all this free candy. As a spoiled only-child though, I got all the candy that I ever wanted anyway, and I got to pick good stuff!

Slight segue here, I’m supposed to attend a themed party tonight and any type of themed party always discourages me from going. I equate dressing up in costume to Halloween and thus the anxiety starts cropping up. Now back on topic.

While contemplating why I actually hate halloween, I figured out that it isn’t so much the holiday part as it is the costumes and the dressing up that I hate. That’s when I started remembering being a little kid, and all the repressed memories came back. I always liked the girl costumes so much better than the ones for boys. I didn’t want to be a comic book character or a fucking Ninja Turtle, I hated those things as I child. I didn’t want to watch batman, I wanted an easy bake oven! While my parents (my mom more so than my dad) would have let me dress up as anything I wanted to be for Halloween, I would have been way to self conscious and embarrassed (even as a kid) to dress up as something “socially unacceptable”. So as a young kid I turned my anxiety about myself into a pure hatred of an innocent holiday. I’m basically the Scrooge of Halloween.

Now none of this makes much of a difference. I am still not going to dress up as a Ninja Turtle or a Princess for halloween, and I don’t think anything will change that. But it is nice to have a better understanding of why I feel the way I do. As for this party tonight, I am going as myself, nothing more nothing less, and once I’ve made my appearance I’ll most likely leave because I’ll feel uncomfortable. And if that makes the host mad, oh well. I made it clear before I don’t dress up and I didn’t have to come in the first place.

==========

Completely unrelated to anything else, I’ve lost six pounds in the past two weeks! I am so excited! Visually all this exercise hasn’t made for much of a change really, but I’m glad I have some noticeable results. This will only help fuel the fire. I can’t wait to start feeling even better about myself.

Bugs

Monday, August 30th, 2010

The iPad WordPress app is quite handy (as you’ve undoubtedly noticed I use it quite frequently). Unfortunately it has some bugs in it. The biggest of which for me is that it crashes every time I attempt to add an image to a post. However the iPhone app doesn’t. So usually what happens is I’ll type out a post on my iPad, save it on the server as a draft, and then open it on my phone to insert the image. Can we say pain in the ass? Never the less I still absolutely love my iPad! I really love the wallpaper I have for it (same as my phone). I only wish I could remember where I found it at. Oh well maybe one day I’ll remember.

So far the project with the hinges is progressing. Once we get a system going it will be faster (I hope). Billy bought me a present at Home Depot today, a door stop! I know what you’re thinking but I really did want it. It’s one of the magnetic ones that holds the door open. Now the cats can’t close the door in the bathroom.

We got our hair done this afternoon. Nothing special just a cut and style, but it’s always nice to see John. The other girl was there doing some girls hair and they were having the most awkward and hilarious conversation the entire time. They were making fun of all their old friends from high school and how fucked up they’ve all become. The best part though was when the stylist asked the other girl “Do you remember when I was pregnant in high school and got that abortion?” Such an odd topic to bring up in mixed company.

Anyway our day has been fairly tame today so I don’t have much to report. Billy is playing Grand Theft Auto while the paint on the hinges dries and I took this opportunity to do a short update. See you guys later!

Shit.

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

I was having a really good day today. Nice workout, good lunch, went for a swim, and then worked on my tan. All in all a pretty good day.

Then this afternoon I get a call from my future employer letting me know that they’ve decided to not hire any more people this year. So they were taking back my job offer. So I just lost a job that I hadn’t even started yet! Fuck Me!!! What has me pissed the most is my very first interview was back in March, and I was offered the job in May. However they push back the start date until September 7th which I wasn’t happy about, but waiting a few months for a good guaranteed job is better than not having one at all. So now I’ve been strung along this long and right before I start they pull the plug. What the fuck am I going to do?

Sad World

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

What kind of world has it become when you cant even use the word Velcro anymore. I just saw a commercial on tv for something and they referred to the Velcro as a “hook and loop” system; WTF?! Seriously Velcro, Sheetrock, Kleenex, and Ziplock should be used synonymously with all brands of the same products.

Random rant of the day.

I Just Don't Understand.

Monday, August 17th, 2009

I simply just can’t understand why my father loves to drive me insane. There has to be some reason why he either purposely does things, or cannot seem to “remember” not to do them. Everyday, over and over the same thing happens.

Months ago my father finally decided to sell his car. He never drove it, and the convertible top had started to leak so it had been bound to a life in the garage; of which it never moved for almost a year. He finally told me that if I could sell it I could park my car in the garage in its place (seeing as how his truck is too big to fit in the garage anyway). Months went by and no offers on the stupid car, and then finally someone bought the damn thing. Now I can park in the garage! I should be happy and ecstatic; key word being ‘should’.

Every day when my father comes home from work, he parks the behemoth of a truck right behind my car so there is no way I can leave to go anywhere. I bitch and complain constantly about it, yet every day over and over he either can’t “remember” not to, or for some reason he just has to be inconsiderate. Hearing the garage door in the afternoon, knowing its him coming home makes my blood pressure go through the roof, and I get an instant migraine from it.

I want to move, god help me I just want out. What is the point of being able to get in the garage if my car sits there for weeks because I can’t ever get it back out. I could rummage through my mom’s purse and find the other set of keys and move it (every time), or I could just park in the street (which would be stupid too). What really pisses me off is when it was the other way around; and he still drove his car. I NEVER blocked him in, I was ALWAYS courteous about it and made sure he could get out of the garage. Apparently when the shoe is on the over foot it would rather kick my ass for ‘sport’.

I think the headache pills have finally started to kick in. Ugh, he is such a jackass.

I just had to vent today, and I know I sound like a teenager, but I’m not. I’m just one of those people that when the same button gets pushed over and over and over and over again whatever miniscule “thing” it actually is turns into a BIG deal to me.

Revalation

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

I’ve had this big revalation (right this minute actually) of which proves that the people that design and create products aren’t the people that actually use them. Let me feed your minds here. What moron keeps putting the cords on upright vacuum cleaners at the bottom? I know I am not the only one that has to hold the cord in my hand (the same hand that is holding the handle mind you) to keep it from sucking it up and getting in the way. If the cord came out of the top of the handle it would already be where we have to hold it and you wouldn’t have to bend over to unwrap it. The damn vacuum has been around for how many decades and we haven’t fixed this? I don’t have a damn dyson but I wouldn’t think this would need that much research to do people. Just proves that the men who design and build vacuums obviously aren’t the ones that have to use the bitches, am I right housewives? I thought so. I bet a woman came up with he roomba; probably Peggy Bundy (my hero). Where’s Oprah?

Bah!

Friday, July 31st, 2009

I don’t know which I’m finding more annoying tonight. All the posts on facebook about “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” or all the facebook posts about Adam Lambert being at Blake’s tonight.

If I wanted to see some bitch on TV I’d find Kim Kardashian’s show.

If I wanted to see the screaming closet case that deserved to NOT win American idol, I’d go to Blake’s myself.

So shut-up bitches we don’t care…

Florida

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

August 8th – August ? I honestly don’t know when we are coming home yet; I just know we finally decided that we are leaving on the eighth. Look out redneck riveria, here we come!

I expected that train of thought to go further than that, guess I was mistaken. I honestly haven’t meant to be so distant from my blog. I’ve sat infront of marsedit several times, I see the blogpress icon on my phone all the time. Hell even my homepage in firefox is my blog URL! It’s just everytime I’ve tried to sit down and write my mind goes blank. The best thoughts come in the bathtub, and I’m just too afraid of my phone going for a swim to risk it.

It isn’t just the blog I’ve been distant from, I’ve neglected people in general lately too. Not so much on purpose, but there is just a lot of things going on at home lately. It seems as though the few free moments I have are when people want to plan something and the future is so sketchy I just can’t plan. I hate looking like all the flakes I hate but I seriously have other shit to do. Just because I’m not doing anything at the moment doesn’t mean I want to get up, shower, shave, drive across the city to meetup for an hour.

Ugh I’m so tired of trying to make new friends too. People just don’t get it, just because I’ll chat with you for five minutes online doesn’t mean I want to meet you in person. And what part of “I have a boyfriend” makes anyone think sexual banter is an appropriate greeting, much less a conversation starter. “Other Person: Whatsup?” “Me: Driving to my friends house” “Other Person: Ooh are y’all gonna fuck?” WTF is that? Why would someone even go there? The same person messaged me online two days later asking what I was doing, I replied “laying in bed” and they come back with “naked?” no fucker I’m not naked, I don’t sleep naked, and I don’t see why it’s any of your concern! People suck. Why is it so hard to make friends with people based on common interest? The few people that are my friends can certainly attest that “sex” is not on my list of common interests.

This seems to be going more and more downhill the more I type… Let’s see if I can come up with something positive that’s happened recently (besides this future run to Florida).

Oh! My new mirrors came the other day. Paint came out fantastic too! I installed them on the car, and Billy did the wiring. Everything works except the heating elements, but it was getting late that night and we kept blowing the fuse so we decided to come back and attack that after some rest. Hooray for small victories right? Here I’ll attach a picture. I know everyone has been hearing me bitch about UPS being so slow at delivering them.

Mirror (Turn-signal On) Mirror (Turn-signal Off)

You will have to excuse my car (especially the wheels) for being dirty, it’s rained everyday here lately. The car came with plain power mirrors, and the heated/folding/signal mirrors were part of a $6000 option package I didn’t want. I paid $300 for these from the dealer, plus paint. Not a bad savings if I do say so myself *toots horn*.

I also appologize for the image quality and the formatting of them in the post, the whole thing was done from my phone. I’ll fix the markup when I’m infront of my laptop.

I think I’ve taken up enough of your time with my blabbering; more to follow later.

I Hate Georgia

Friday, June 19th, 2009

It’s way to hot here during the summer for us not to have a beach. We practically have Florida heat and humidity without the ability to escape it. What makes this so much worse is our air conditioner died earlier this week. So it gets into the mid 90′s during the afternoon and just never seems to cool off in the house. I want to go stay in a hotel for a few days, but yea that isn’t going to happen.

I’m starting to grow annoyed with some people. Just because 99% of the time you’re sketch and the one time you actually try and plan something; don’t expect me to be free willing and able! I do have a life of my own and less than 24 hours notice for this crap doesn’t cut it. You’re busy yourself so don’t think less of the rest of the world.

The iPhone Dev-Team needs to hurry up with the 3.0 Jailbreak & Ultrasn0w… I’m getting really antsy; everyone I know that has an AT&T locked iPhone has updated and I don’t like being behind the times here. It’s always nice to shove my lower T-Mobile bill in their face and say HA! Come on Dev-Team, don’t let us down, it was supposed to come out today lets make it happen!!!
