So, how many of those little liqour filled chocolate bottles do you think it would take to get a good solid buzz going?

Why is there motorcycle parking at Costco?

I had lunch today with my aunt and her husband.. it was nice, but... nice. I don't really know her husband very well, but I discovered today that he is rather conservative... because he kept referring to unsavory people of any kind as "damn liberals," accurately or otherwise. It made me have to think about everything I said for the rest of the afternoon. Plus, he's one of those smart asses that tries to be "funny" with the waitstaff, and is rude to the little cel phone vendors at those kiosks in the mall (I feel bad for anyone trying to sell anything in a saturated market with annoying sales tactics... money's a bitch). In short, he rubbed me the wrong way.. and that made me sad.

This particular Aunt (Karen) is one of three dark haired daughters on my mother's side. These three sisters also have a fair-haired sister and brother, both of which have stable spouses and families.

And although I don't think haircolor has anything to do with it, these three sisters are very much alike in appearance and personality and have been invariably cursed in love throughout their entire lives.... multiple divorces each, kids from multiple fathers... a string of assholes as partners... I don't know what it is... but it never fails to end in divorce when it comes to their relationships. I was hoping to get a different vibe from this one.. but I came home feeling a little bummed, and firmer in my decision to never ever ever ever get married (this sounds lame, but I look and act very much like my mother and her two sisters.. so that I sometimes get mistaken as a fourth).

Plus, marriage is just scary and insane.

In the same vein, my last ex just told me that's he's going to marry his girlfriend.... but I won't get into that tidbit tonight.

The other day I got a request from someone to perform a tarot spread for her, because I had done someone else's and it had been right on. That made me feel pretty cool.

Have you ever accidentally seen yourself the way someone else would, rather than the way you always do? It happened to me today.. it was a little startling.

Today I bought long rolls of paper to put up on my one huge blank wall - I'm going to have everyone come over and draw all over them, so it'll be like a landlord-friendly mural of sorts. I'm going to do the first marks on it tonight.

We're supposed to have movie night tonight... and I really need to read.

If you haven't met redneck70, he's cute and nice. All the girls dug him last night.

I wish I could have a pet that didn't have to be caged, walled or otherwise enclosed against its will. I always feel bad for those really pretty betas in those teeny weeny containers. Who could look at it and not feel like a big, oily meany?
