92 Truths About Me


Tweet

Random Tuesday - Rantish

I

may have PMS? I don't know. I don't feel ticked off about everything, just one thing. (Which reminds me, I need to refill my Xanax prescription...)



The impression that 1) I only visit Entrecard Blogs and 2) If I don't comment, I haven't been there.

First, if you don't have Entrecard, you don't know how often I stop by your blog, Max People.

I have several blogs in my sidebar and in my bookmarks that ARE NOT Entrecard users. I still stop by, sometimes I just have nothing to say.

Honestly, sometimes your chosen blog topics are not my cup of tea. I don't care about working out, or cooking gourmet meals, or homeschooling my child, or History. So I may speed-read through those type of posts to see if there's something that would interest me, but if it doesn't catch my eye, I move on for THAT DAY.

I don't even drop that much.



See? I'm not one of those users that is just trying to drop to get credits. I actually read the stuff that people write, unless it's history or economics or specific to your country.

Second, even if your article interested me, it doesn't mean that I'll comment. I read Cardiogirl's blog every day, but I don't comment every day. Sometimes I have nothing to say and I don't feel that it's good form to comment "Hi, I was here!" rather than giving an opinion or offering something substantive.

Now, if you want me to let you know that I've been to your blog every day, even if I don't have anything worthwhile to say, I hate it for you.

When I find a blog/person that I like, I do not abandon them. I used to read Blanca Debree every day, even though I don't think I ever commented, she just amused me. I think she's changed her address, because the blog I found was not the same that I used to visit.

I am, at heart, a lurker. How do you think I find all the posts for my High Five Fridays if I'm not going through hundreds of blogs a week? I read that stuff, you know.

I think I must have PMS. Because my flipping feelings were hurt when I read MAX's response to my comment the other day when he asked where I had been.

Dude, you gave me a ring. We're, like, cyber engaged or some shit. (Kidding, don't show up at my house or anything...)

I just can't read those posts about history or science without my eyes crossing.

Oh, yeah!

There are other places I go online. I don't just read blogs. So I'm participating in forums, tweeting, writing e-mails, designing stuff on Paintshop Pro for people with cute babies, etc. I have a virtual life! Not to mention that I have to watch TV and movies so that I'll have something about which to blog. I occasionally vacuum or wash dishes (though Evan would disagree with that). I have a real life too. Kind of.

Music Monday - 4-20-09

A red wine
Konvict
Gaga

I've had a little bit too much
All of the people start to rush.
Start to rush by.
A dizzy twister dance
Can't find my drink or man.
Where are my keys, I lost my phone.
What's going on on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore.
Keep it cool what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, alright.

[Chorus:]
Just dance. Gonna be okay.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Spin that record babe.
Da-doo-doo-doo
Just dance. Gonna be okay.
Duh-duh-duh-duh
Dance. Dance. Dance. Just dance.

Wish I could shut my playboy mouth.
How'd I turn my shirt inside out? Inside out, right.
Control your poison babe
Roses have thorns they say.
And we're all gettin' hosed tonight.
What's going on on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can't see straight anymore.
Keep it cool what's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright, alright.

[Chorus]

[Colby O'Donis]
When I come through on the dance floor checking out that catalogue.
Can't believe my eyes so many women without a flaw.

And I ain't gonna' give it up, steady tryna pick it up like a call
I'm gonna hit it, I'm gonna hit it and flex and do it until tomorrow, yeah
Shorty i can see that you got so much energy
The way you twirling up them hips round and round
There's no reason at all why you can't leave here with me
In the meantime stay, let me watch you break it down.

[Chorus]

Half Psychotic, Sick hypnotic got my blueprint its symphonic.
Half Psychotic, sick hypnotic got my blueprint electronic.
Half Psychotic, Sick hypnotic got my blueprint its symphonic.
Half Psychotic, sick hypnotic got my blueprint electronic.

Go. Use your muscle, carve it out, work it, hustle
I got it, just stay close enough to get it
Don't slow! Drive it, clean it lysol, bleed it
Spend the last dough
(I got it)
In your Pocko
(I got it)

[Chorus]

Tuesday Randomness

I

feel like today should be Wednesday. Maybe because I was up so early yesterday.

In case you were wondering, I'm up to the Reagan Administration in Audition. This book seriously is a history lesson. I was surprised that Walters said, when speaking about First Lady Betty Ford, that if she were doing the interview today she would show the footage of an obviously intoxicated Mrs. Ford. She said that we are a "let it all hang out" society these days and maybe having shown the footage, it would have made Mrs. Ford get help sooner.

Well, IMO, people who are drug addicts/alcoholics don't really change unless or until they hit rock bottom. Didn't we have about 2 years with Britney Spears acting insane before her family stepped in? Maybe a First Lady would get help sooner, but I don't think that any of these young stars would care enough about their careers or the effect their actions have on society to really do anything just because a video popped up on TMZ.

Now playing: Lady Gaga - Poker Face

My fingernails seem to have stopped growing. :-(



I cut them because they kept breaking and I don't like when one nail is short and all the other ones are long. I knew the short ones would never catch up with the long ones. But I'm getting sick of looking at my short fat fingers!

----------------
Now playing: 50 Cent - Get Up

Tina Fey is hilarious on Twitter. She just doesn't do it enough. My favorite Tweet from her is "I don't even know why I bother to chew corn anymore." She's precious. :-)

I got my Nielson Home Scanner. It's just like one of those scanners at the grocery store. You scan the shit you buy and then send it to Nielson and you earn points. I'll let you know how it goes.

I took the "DO NOT DISTURB" sign off of my door so that UPS would deliver it, but they didn't. They took it to my landlord. Which is fine, I guess. But he sat here talking for me for about 20 minutes about computers. That's why I don't like talking to people. You ask one question and they tell you everything.

I did find out that his home computer, that he built himself, has like 5GB of RAM.

RAM = Random Access Memory.

To put it in perspective, I added about 512Mb of RAM to this computer. So I have 1.24Gb RAM. One (1) Gigabyte. He has 5 GB of RAM and I don't remember how much memory in total. I just know that when he told me, my jaw dropped.

He said he'd sell it for about $1000.

I'm driving a Pinto and he's got a Ferrari, in other words.

I can't even imagine how fast his computer is. I just wishhhhhhhhhhhhh I could afford to put whatever I wanted on my computer and not slow it down.

*sigh*

I think that's all. I need more cigars.

Wednesday Memeage - 3/25/09

N

othing to say, so I'm resorting to a meme.

Wednesday Media Mix
[Listen] What song have you listened to the most in the past month? Does it an any way reflect the current state of your life, or is it a song you just happen to like a lot? Just Dance by Lady Gaga. It doesn't reflect my life because I don't go to clubs and get so drunk that I can barely stand up. I don't go to clubs anyway. I just like the song.

[Watch] Do you feel like you always root for the right people in movies/TV? It depends on the movie. If I don't like the particular actor or if the movie is so bad that I find myself rooting for the bad guy so that something interesting will happen. Thankfully, that's rare.


[Read] Do you prefer to read fiction with very clear good guys/bad guys, or is it better if the line is blurred? I appreciate when I'm rooting for the main character (who is usually the good guy). In the Artemis Fowl books, for instance, he's a criminal mastermind, he's just not as bad as the other bad guys, LOL. I don't really care if it's a clearly defined good or bad guy, I just want the experience to be enjoyable.

1stopmom tagged me

S

o here are my answers.

1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you cannot go up into your closet and pull out that cute little purse you used back before you had kids. I want to know what you carried today.


2. I want to know how much it costs. This is not to judge, because I am honestly telling you I was ready to put down some cash; I just got lucky! This is for entertainment purposed only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, I’d love to hear about it!
Probably $12.96. I got it from Wal-mart. I am NOT one of those women who lust after purses or is willing to put down major money on a "trendy" purse that will be "out of style" in 6 months.

The only reason I get a new purse is when the straps on my current one break off. Furreal. I think my last purse was $9 and I had it for a few years.

3. Tag some chicks and link back to this post so people know why the heck you are showing everyone your bag.

The only person I know who cares about purses that much has a private blog, LOL. But I'll tag:
1.Carol
2.Cardiogirl
3.Shae
4.Monique

BTW, this is the face I make when someone tags me with a meme.

It's not a happy face.

I only did this because when I bought my cheap purse, I posted a picture of it at one of my favorite forums with all the purse whore women and said "I know all you bitches are jealous of my awesome new $12 purse!" so I already had the picture, LOL.

I stole this from Rock Angel

Movie Meme²

I

was just checking my comments and saw that someone had arrived here from a Google search of "Movie Meme".

I read my original post and decided to do it again because I'm procrastinating on doing my High Five post (There are 2 weeks worth of links there) and so that I won't have to think of anything to write tomorrow or whenever (it's 10/12 night right now).

1.Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times. Underworld

2.Name a movie that you’ve seen multiple times in the theater. My answer has not changed.

3.Name an actor who would make you more inclined to see a movie. Cary Grant. After I saw him in that first movie (don't remember which one it was), I search for him on the schedule. There are a lot of movies of his that I would not have otherwise watched.

4.Name an actor who would make you less likely to see a movie. Ben Affleck. I recorded some POS on Sci-Fi last night because of Rose McGowan (not that I'm a huge fan, but I recognized her name among the actors) and as soon as I saw that I was supposed to believe that anyone would hire Affleck as the Sheriff of a town, I deleted it. Didn't even finish it.

5.Name a movie that you can and do quote from. The Matrix and any Tyler Perry movie with Madea.

6.Name a movie musical that you know all of the lyrics to all of the songs. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

7.Name a movie that you have been known to sing along with. See above

8.Name a movie that you would recommend everyone see. The Bishop's Wife (Cary Grant). It's a cute Christmas movie.

9.Name a movie that you own. Shoot Em Up

10.Name an actor that launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but surprised you with his/her acting chops. Sela Ward. She started as a model. I've seen her in stuff before "House", but since her role of "Stacy" (House's ex-GF) I never would have thought she didn't start out to be an actress.

11.Have you ever seen a movie in a drive-in? If so, what? No

12.Ever made out in a movie? Yes. The movie was Falling Down.

13.Name a movie that you keep meaning to see but just haven’t yet gotten around to it. Casablanca. I actually recorded it, but I never got around to watching it. I wanted to see it. To see Ingrid Bergman in something besides Indiscreet.

14.Ever walked out of a movie? No.

15.Name a movie that made you cry in the theater. I rarely see movies in the theater. But movies generally only make me cry when I have PMS. Like "A Beautiful Mind". I gave myself a headache crying over that movie, LOL.

16.What’s the last movie you saw in the theater? One of the Star Wars movies. I guess it was the last one?

17.What’s your favorite/preferred genre of movie? Thriller

18.What’s the first movie you remember seeing in the theater? My answer hasn't changed.

19.What movie do you wish you had never seen? Devil's Rejects. I think that's the one directed by Rob Zombie. It was so gory. I like thriller, not gore. I don't watch anything that Zombie is involved in because of that POS.

20.What is the weirdest movie you enjoyed? Evolution. Yes, I have it on DVD and yes we still watch it sometimes.

21.What is the scariest movie you’ve seen? I wasn't exactly scared, but in one of the Scream (I think) movies, Jada Pinkett's character was killed in a movie theater full of people and everyone was cheering. That kind of horrified me because everyone in the theater thought it was part of a "show". I, unfortunately, am able to imagine crap like that actually happening to me.

22.What is the funniest movie you’ve seen?
I don't know what the funniest movie I've ever seen is, but Iron Man made me laugh out loud several times. It would have been more enjoyable if I wouldn't have had to pause the movie to explain the jokes to Evan.

That's it!

My definition of Feminism

F

eminism is defined by MerriamWebster.com as:

1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
2 : organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests

My definition of feminism is: not letting the fact that I happen to be female stop me from doing what I want to do.

I know how to change a flat.
I know how to check my oil.
I know how to change my car battery.

I know these things because I don't want to have to rely on a man to do it for me. The stereotypes about women not knowing anything about cars pisses me off. I know what I need to know.

If I could get down on the ground and up easily, I would have learned how to change my oil & brake pads from my Ex who used to do it for me. I would love to know how to fix everything on my car because it's cheaper and I like feeling self sufficient.

I also know how to cook & do the laundry. I know this because my mother taught me and my brother how to do these things.

Being female is not an excuse for not knowing something. Nor is it an excuse for not doing something.

You can wear heels and have your nails painted and still be prepared to get dirty when you need to!

When I was 20, I met a man. I fell "in love". I freely gave him my virginity. We moved in together (mainly because I wanted to get out of my mother's house). We were going to get married. Pretty soon after we moved in together, we started trying to get pregnant. Seriously. I think he wanted a kid more than I did. But that's another story for another time. The gist is that it never happened. I assumed (stupidly) that I couldn't get pregnant.

So after we broke up, I continued to live my life the way I had before. Go to work, go home, do it again the next day. See a movie on Friday night. Maybe another one on Saturday. But I didn't really "date" or "go out".

My SIL told me that I needed to "act my age" (22) and "have fun". So I started hanging out with some of my co-workers. I thought they were both sluts, but they always had a new story to tell on Monday mornings.

So one of the sluts introduced me to my first Redneck. He looked like the lead singer of Metallica. (sp?) Not really my type physically. He had shoulder length blonde hair. He had a loooooooooong Jamie Hyneman moustache. And back hair. Lots of back hair.

Whatever.

I thought, idiotically, that with the amount of beer, marijuana, cocaine and God knows what else that he consumed, that his sperm would not be viable. So even on the off chance that it had been my BF who had the problem when I had tried to get pregnant, this dude would not be able to knock me up.

I got pregnant on April Fool's Day. God's little joke on me.

Very funny.

He asked me if I wanted to get married. Wait, here's exactly how it went:

Dumbass - You don't want to get married, do you?
Me - Not to you! Oh my GOD. You're a loser. I wouldn't have ever slept with you if I hadn't been so drunk. You're 34 years old, you rent a room from your BFF and his wife, you own one pair of shoes and NO CAR. Why the hell would I want to marry you???

So that was almost the last time I talked to him.

The pregnancy was difficult. I lost 20 lbs because I couldn't even keep water down for 6 months. I was hospitalized several times for dehydration. When I was finally able to eat, Evan decided to shove his bony butt into my spine which resulted in a pinched disc. The only thing I could take for the pain was Tylenol, which is useless (for me, at least).

After Evan was born, I went by Dumbass's job ONCE to show him a picture of his son. I told him that I didn't want anything from him, but that if he wanted a relationship with his son, it would be up to him. I did not want to have to lie to my child ("your Daddy died") or be blamed for why my son never saw his "Father".

So, they've never met. Sperm Donor's choice. I still live in the same apartment where we used to have sex. Evan knows the truth. I told him that when I had him, I gave his "father" the opportunity to have a relationship with him, but that since Dumbass had never met him, he didn't know what an awesome child he was. So it was his loss. I never said anything negative about Dumbass in Evan's presence. I don't remember exactly when Evan went from "When I meet my Daddy, I'm going to give him a big hug." to "If I ever meet him, I'm going to kick him in his nuts!", but I sincerely try not to say anything against the man. Not to Evan anyway, LOL.

I'm thrilled that Dumbass doesn't want a relationship with MY son. I'm sure Evan wants to at least meet the man. But I seriously wish he'd just die. He's always been a loser. Hell, he's probably in jail again now. I have no idea.

Here's where the lemons come in.

I was nursing. I had to get up at o'dark thirty every morning to nurse Evan before daycare. I worked 40 miles from my house. I had his daycare near my job, so I had to drive an hour to the daycare, 20 minutes back to work & then at the end of my 8.5 hour day, do it in reverse. I'd get home at about 5, nurse again, pump again, pass out on the couch by 7.

I felt really bad about leaving my child at daycare. Don't get me wrong, The workers at the daycare were awesome. The owner was WONDERFUL to Evan. She'd buy him clothes, she treated him like he was her grand child. But sometimes when I went to pick him up, he didn't want to come home with me.

Once when he was about 2, we were at my mother's house to have dinner & he said grace. We couldn't understand anything but "Amen", but we knew that he was praying. I had never taught him that.

I felt like I was not raising my own child.

After that, I started having a lot of physical symptoms. Sometimes my leg would go numb. Sometimes my back would hurt so bad that I couldn't even get out of bed. Lots of symptoms that seemed unrelated.

Lots of tests.

All through that time, I'd pray to God that something, anything, would happen so that 1) I could stay home and raise my son and 2) have the money to pay my bills & not have to worry about it.

When I was 26 or 27, I woke up one morning & I was blind in my right eye. I thought I had poked my eye with the mascara wand, but the ER doc said he wanted to send me for an MRI.

So I had the MRI. The neurologist came in and asked if there was someone I could call because I needed to be admitted to the hospital. I asked him straight out what was wrong with me. He showed me my x-rays & pointed out all the "light spots" in my brain which are called "plaques". He said it was indicative of Multiple Sclerosis. He told me that with the number & size of the plaques in my brain, it was a miracle that I hadn't had more symptoms and that I was still walking.

I'm telling you the truth when I say that the first thing I thought when he said "Multiple Sclerosis" was "I wonder if I can get a (disability) check for that?"

Yeah.

Initially, when I was hopped up on steroids & walking around in the hospital in the middle of the night because I couldn't sleep, I cried a lot. I thought I was going to die. I thought of my cousin in the wheelchair who looked like she was 80 when she was only 30. (She has since died.) I thought about Richard Pryor.

But then I started thinking about Montel Williams & Terri Garr. They have MS too, but they kept on living their lives.

Pretty soon after I was diagnosed, my favorite boss EVER was forced to retire (The reason I loved him so much is that we had a lot in common. We were both "yankees" living in the south and neither of us kissed ass). The man that replaced Mr. T was an idiot. I hated him.

So, I quit my job and went on welfare while I waited for disability (another 2 years).

I have spent the last 5 years staying home, raising my son, & having the money to pay my bills.

You might think that that's an odd way to feel about my "disease".

But I honestly believe that God answered my prayers.

It wasn't the way I would have liked. (I would have preferred winning the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes.) But I wanted to be able to stay home and raise my son without having to worry about paying my bills.

And that's what I got.

So, to quote Mary J Blige "I wouldn't change my life, my life's just fine."
