I admit it, I say rad all the damn time. And dude is a regular part of the vocabulary as well. What can I say, I've lived in Southern Cali since I was 3. The whole retro 80's look is really gettin to me! All these shit kids look the same. They're so busy tryin to be different, all the while lookin like a bunch of cloned sheep! Wait till you get to Hollywood. You're gonna fuckin ! It's sad! How about some originality for once! I dig people with their own style. Trends are for pussy kids who need to be accepted by tyhe mainstream. I say grow a pair already!
Cool to see your hubby on here. Will make things a little less akward when you guys get here. We will already have had some sort of communications and salutations. Happy St. Patty's Day!

80's nite at one of the clubs is just a fashion disaster if your 43 DON'T wear a pink polo with a sweater tied around your neck it was horrible *then* and now and yes i do remember when this song came out. But kids dressing like Robert Smith are a hoot

Although I hate winter, and more so every year.....I still like the place I live. I do like three of the four seasons, and you definitely can't say it's boring here, for weather... Anyplace that can go from 20 below zero to 60 above in just a week or two is pretty trippy.

*sigh* I guess there are better places, probably...but I like it here.

Oh....I'll go say hi to the hubby he sounds divine

You know ... I was once told by a devout religious guy that I was an anomoly in the world. I am also prolly a bad speller when it comes to spelling anomoly ... that so doesn't look right.

But my point was ... in talking to him, he realized that he had never met anyone like me - so happy with life, aware of the shitty aspects to it, but not caring ... and someone who wouldn't fret if he were to die tomorrow.

'Cause really ... while there are some things I haven't done in life ... I've done a lot of things I did want to accomplish ... and I think I've lead a pretty decent life. There isn't anything to complain about. I know that death will eventually take me ... and I believe everything happens for a reason and the people in your life are there for a reason, so therefore, if I were to die tomorrow ... everything would be gravy ... 'cause it happened for a reason ... and if I come back, the people I know and loved in this place would be with me somehow wherever I ended up.

Meh ... I'm just weird that way.

Well, I am a moody little bitch, thanks for asking! But I'm pretty low maintenance at this point ... I have basically learned to choose my fights. I am capable of silently fuming and killing with kindness rather than my old method, which required digging deep holes in the middle of the night to dispose of the bodies. So ... progress!

You would never know this progress if you saw me driving in the car when there is a lot of traffic though. I figure someone has installed a lo-jack on my car without my knowledge and they track my movements so that all the slowest people can box me in.

I had a boyfriend once that was really, really easy going. It was nice on the one hand, because we never, ever fought about anything. But it was hard to get anything done, too ... like going to eat, for example. "Where do you want to eat?" "I don't know, where do you want to eat?" "Well, what kind of food do you want?" Endlessly. I would wind up getting frustrated and saying ... you know, this would be a lot easier if one of us had an f'n opinion! So the easy going thing can be taken too far as well.

My favorite part about my temper is ... my son, Steve, loves me to death. And he knows exactly how to defuse my temper quickly (if he chooses to ... I think sometimes he ENJOYS watching me pissed off). BUT, let someone start telling him about how cool I am, blah, blah ... he HATES having a cool mom ... and he will just calmly say, "Wait until my mom goes all 'When Animals Attack' on you. " I love that line and it is really hard to maintain anger when you're laughing your ass off.

You did see the pictures of the scratches from that last cat fight I had, didn't you? Were you on my friend's list yet? It was back in January, I think ... before I decided to be happy Suzy again. That was the first actual physical altercation I had had in some years, I suppose, and the only witness said ... Wow, I'm surprised you can fight like that at your age. Yeah, us old broads still have a little fight left in 'em!

Have a peaceful, easy-going day, babe!

Lemme answer your questions cause i think im one of those confounding people:

i have ulcers (bad), have very fucked up sleeping patterns, and it IS a personality thing. (well inmy opinion). i get depressed a lot but nobody knows it!! im one of those peple that will smile at the world be your rock and then go cry myself to sleep. it takes a lot to get me going - im usually laughing at other people going "relax, everything's cool, its not a big deal."
Its NOT healthy!!

i think the reasons for my calm abilities go much deeper than that though - a conversation we'll most likely get into over lots of alcohol sometime after youve moved here! Speaking of which - would you move here already?!?!
Have a great day - and always - thanks for your comments!!

Oh god, commercials are my thing. I've done entire projects in college on commercials and saw some pretty awesome ones that I'd never seen on television. My plan was to go into advertising--then things went of course, due to my not having the money to take the last class to get my communications degree.
It seems like Kirstie Alley is getting desperate for the spotlight, which is sad because she used to be smart and classy and now she's becoming the next Anna Nicole. Yes, the issue of overweight women in the media needs to be addressed, but not in a juvenile and stereotypical way. I always loved the women of The Practice for being themselves and refusing to lose a few pounds just to look like all the other women on tv. Media and eating disorders--that was my sociology research paper and my mass media paper. Can you tell this girl is a bit media obsessed?
I'm torn at the moment on the labret. My favorite piercer appears to not be working this week--she had surgery recently and I'm not sure if she's been back at work at all yet. So my other options include going to that studio and having another piercer do it, one of whom has a bad rep with oral piercings, or going to the place where my kitty tatt was done. I haven't been pierced by those guys and haven't heard anyone who has been. My boy has gift certificate for this shop that he is willing to give me, since he doesn't want them to tattoo him after my experience. I'm leaning toward either giving them a shot or waiting til my week off in April, and having Meg, coolest piercer ever, do it.

Mantis is a hilarious place--it's like a hormonal free-fire zone. I think the close quarters put everyone into some kind of mating fever.

I'm like you with the hangovers, esp since 30. It hasn't made me a cheap date, though, just a cheap headache. Alas.

I just left devil_duckie a comment saying that if she didn't quit complaining about 25 being old, I'd get the geezers to go over and beat her with our canes and walkers

I'm so bad about being overly nice to pissed off people, it really is entertaining in such an evil way. I used to do that when I worked as a bouncer, it's even funnier with drunks.

*hug* visual aids...LOL too funny, girl...
Just got home and that was a strange evening.....will post it so you can check it out at your leisure...

hey....is that a sample of your writing? Would it be ok to save it so I can read it from time to time? It made me think (dangerous) and it spawned some deep thoughts that went several different tangents... anyway, I loved it and would like to keep a copy, just to read once in a while...

Your question about tasks? Today's chore has been chasing rabid biker dust bunnies around my office.

Well, I hate bill paying so much that I let my partner do it. She is quite good at it, too, even tough she doesn't like it. Maybe I should rent her out (we get 10% of all payments).
Conversely, I hate grocery shopping, but she hates it more, so I almost always end up doing it.
And, it seems that I hate working on my current schooling, because I avoid it like chocolate-covered broken glass.
Should I even mention traffic? I hate traffic. I talk to the cars as if they can hear me, and usually use bad language. It gets me in trouble with my passengers.
But I can walk into a store, pick out a pair of jeans, try them on, and leave with no problem. It's a guy thing.

You know, I've always been restless ... but I am, in spite of that, really rather settled. Which, in turn, spurs on the restless even more. But, I'm working on it! I have been doing a lot more crazy stuff lately and that helps a great deal.

How's the writing coming?

So I saw Adam Ant at the Roxy in 1981. They were really bad. Was he good when you saw him? That show really wrecked that for me. But you know, with Black Flag being from here and all ... there was that whole Black Flag Kills Ants On Contact thing.

Its funny you bring Adam Ant up. My co-worker, who likes to do weird things with songs, was saying something to the effect of "You don't drink, you don't smoke, what do you do?" and I walked in there and told him...

I have on pink socks ... but you know, Dirk Wears White Socks.

He had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. They think I am so random at work. That is how I amuse myself all day long. I don't like my day job and that is sad.

Which reminds me ... your book sounds amazing. It is a concept that I can relate to. Childhood is weird. But I'm over it. I'm really glad you're writing.

Soooooooo you're a writer? That's awesome!! My favorite thing in the world to do-well when I HAD time to do it! So what are you writing? I wanna know I wanna know!!
As far as my fave NBK scenes and lines: To be honest it's really hard. That movie has the most significant meaning to me. So many lines and scenes have defined the most influential and meaningful period in my life. Hhhhmmm...lines: When Mal says to Mickey "Wherever we go, and whatever happens Mickey, I look up at the stars, and I know you're lookin at the same ones....You make everyday feel like Kindergarten!" That's how Sickgirl22 makes me feel! All warm and fuzzy inside. And I love the whole exchange between Mickey and Mallory in the I Love Mallory scene "Who are you? Who are you......" Fuckin GREAT!! And pretty much everything Rodney Dangerfield says. Some of that shit's just gross, but fuckin hilarious!!
Scenes-The wedding scene is the most meaningful to me. I WILL get married just like that someday! For God's sake I have the wedding ring and gave Sickgirl22 one! I heart her! Uuuuummmm I also love when Scagnetti goes to see Mallory in jail and ans she gets pissed and ko's herself after running into the door. That's determination!!
Off to finish laundry. Hopefully I'll be done by 1 am.

Holy shit!! "The whole world's comin to an end Mal!" Those are some CRAZY stories! Your reoccuring dreams sound pretty wild! Makes you wonder what the hell causes you to keep having dreams about the same shit over and over huh?
My Monday was EXHAUSTING!! I worked 14 hours> I work 2 very physically demanding jobs. Today it was a little warm, but lifting heavy shit ALL DAY just kicked my ass! But NO drama from the ex so that was cool! Have a great Tuesday!

?-What's your favorite scene and favorite line(s) from NBK?

Don't forget Phobe's cat songs on Friends. They weren't remakes, but they were so funny and original.
Oh why oh why do cool, cute, smart, funny chicks live so far away..........

Well, the chick from Consumers says that I'm responsible since he currently lives me. Basically, unless I can prove he doesn't live here, they can charge my account. WTF? He's gonna pay it (he does owe them), so its not really a big deal, but jeez, it just doesn't seem right. I mean, if I decide not to pay one of my bills, will they go after him? I guess this is what financial experts refer to as sexually transmitted debt.

My whole life is random silliness. One of my ongoing jokes with a friend of mine is that he only gets laid if Tool puts out a new album. I can't even remember how it started, but we crack up whenever Tool is mentioned.

I like being a freak, but for most of my life I didn't. It took a long time to come to terms with it. Living in Massachusetts, especially the happy valley, actually makes me feel more normal. I can walk down the street and see women holding hands (and no-one chasing them with pitchforks), I know some same-sex couples who are now legally married to each other, people dress how they want, are a progressive as they want to be, and are generally tolerant. My kind of people. So now I feel less on the fringe than I have in the past. It's a good feeling.

BTW, once I had a cockatiel who decided that this mole on my chest didn't belong there, so she decided to chew it off. She half-succeeded. So I know all about bad pets coming close to death.

Hey Mal! Thanks for lettin me know about Jim Goad! I'll check him out ASAP! When you guys movin to LA?
