Brett asked if you could kill a spider using a can of air. Before I could answer,  I heard the spshhhhhhh sound in the background. "...nope."

[Current Mood | good]

Life is pretty good right now. I mean, certain aspects still blow, and I'm sure they'll continue to blow, but man...the good parts really help to make up for the crap. :) I can really appreciate the good after a heaping pile of bad, you know? 

My only fear? That it's too good to be true.

I need to get to bed earlier and drink more water or something. This staying up late every night plus being on my period plus stress from work is making my face break out horribly. :(

I think Rosie, the younger of the two dogs mom has, can see ghosts. She's a weirdo to begin with, doing this commando crawl maneuver with tail tucked under whenever she thinks she's been bad, doesn't like vacuums or the lawnmower and barks at everyone because we think she's half blind (but only when it comes to recognizing people - she can spot a rabbit three streets away). She also likes to rub her face into the carpet for no apparent reason.

Anyway she doesn't like the basement. She trots around happily all over until she comes to 'my' room where my computer desk is set up. Then when she crosses the threshold she does the curled tail crawl, whining and crying, until she's under the desk, where she curls up and cries until I distract her with something, usually by pointing excitedly out the window at nothing. But eventually she goes back under the desk, snuffling and crying into my feet.

I have no idea what this is about. Dog has such emotional baggage, haha.

Well it's done. I moved out today after packing my life up in cardboard boxes and leaving what I've known for the past two and a half years. I am doing my best to think of other things and to keep myself busy and optimistic. That's hard considering all I want to do is crawl up in bed and sob. I hate this "woe is me" attitude I've got right now - but even thought this was my decisions I feel I still need to grieve the ending of this relationship.

Everyone has been extremely supportive and I'm overwhelmed and eternally grateful for their help and kind words. I am in limbo currently, and I hate it. I HATE not being in control, not knowing what I'm going to be doing or where I'll be. Some people thrive on that sort of thing, but I don't. I also hate needing help and leaning on others for support., because I feel like a mooch. Everyone assures me that is not mooching if it's offered. The only plan I have at this point is to stay at my parents house for now, with all of my possessions in the  basement and in boxes, and stay at a friend's house during the work week. I don't want to be a house guest forever though because that's rude. I intend on paying for food and helping with the electric bill if it turns out I'm there more often than I come home.

 I used to feel so independent. Now I realize I never was. I simply traded my dependency on my parents for a dependency on John. Now I'm right back where I started. I have lost my friend in the process and I am alone again. I feel like I'm at the lowest point in my life right now.

Aren't these supposed to be the best years of your life? :(

Spring! [Apr. 19th, 2009|10:09 am]
[Current Mood | chipper]

I went to Walmart the other day because we seem to go through body wash at light speed and I wanted to get a hot oil treatment for my frizzy fro. I ended up in the gardening section, drawn in by the bright flowers and that wonderful smell of fresh earth. As I was perusing the rows and rows of potted plants and those six-packs of seedlings, I reminisced about the days I would spend with my grandmother and aunt in their various gardens, plucking weeds and arranging mulch.

My grandmother had tons and tons of daffodils, of all different colors, in the long garden that followed the length of the driveway up to her house. I love daffodils and when I saw a cluster of them sitting all by their lonesome for .50 each, I had to pluck them up. I also got a .50 hyacinth. I'm no gardener, my green thumb is pretty much a yellow, dried out looking thing, but damn if I'm not going to try. I bought a pot and a bag of potting soil and planted all four bulbs in it when I got home. They smell so nice! They need a full 8 hours of sunlight a day though, and we barely get 4 in any spot in our apartment. I do have a lamp at work that has the full spectrum of light (so says the packaging) and I had originally bought it to help a plant I have on my desk to grow. Now it's a behemoth and I'm told spider-plants can grow in the most inhospitable places for the most non-gardener type people on the planet, so I'm considering bringing that home and letting them bask in that when the sun creeps too far around the side of our building?

Oh well. Even if they don't survive I'm happy for now. They smell like fond memories and fun summers spent running around outside.

http://www.cracked.com/article_17142_5-ways-common-sense-lies-you-everyday.html


"You don't need us to point out examples of hypocrisy, from cops who won't write traffic tickets to other cops, to politicians who talk about how important the public school system is while putting their own kids in a exclusive private schools.

What's interesting is how everyone excuses it in their own mind.

You can't find anyone who simply says, "The rules don't apply to us because we're awesome!" Thanks to Special Pleading, there are elaborate mental gymnastics that happen inside them that eliminate even their feelings of guilt. And the thing is, sometimes they're right; you did call your boss a motherfucker because you were having a bad day. You do have bad habits due to your childhood upbringing. You were abrupt with your girlfriend because you were running late.

But what's strange is we don't let anyone else have those excuses. The girl behind the counter at Starbucks wasn't rude because she was having a bad day. She's just a bitch. The kid at Best Buy wasn't just clueless about the return policy, he was intentionally evil and trying to steal your money. Some of us have held grudges for years, based on actions by someone else that we've forgiven ourselves for doing countless times.

They might as well call it the "This Is Why The World Seems to be Full of Dicks" fallacy."

Watchmen [Mar. 7th, 2009|06:46 pm]
[Current Mood | artistic]

I just got back from a grand day. First John and I got to tour Raven's stadium and walk on the field! It was awesome and I took a million pictures. Then we went to go see Watchmen. I'm not in the mood to write a lengthy review, so I'll just sum up:
1) Blue peen is not all that shocking, people. With all the gratuitous tits and ass we see in almost every other movie made these days, I'm surprised that you're surprised. Get over it.
2) I've come to the conclusion that sex scenes make people laugh in movie theaters because they're uncomfortable with the idea of watching it on a big screen in a room full of complete strangers rather than the comfort of their own home with their hand down the pants.
3) I think the actor that played Rorschach looks like Clint Eastwood's younger brother. You know, if he had one.
4) Nite Owl was nerdy and pudgy and cute. Aw.
5) Do not like Ozymandias or his big hair.
6) Do like the use of musical influence in certain scenes.
7) This movie deserves a second viewing.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah now it's time to download my pictures from the day.

John got me another 22" flat screen monitor for my desk ensemble! @_@ Its so beautiful.

Now my sixty pound hunk of prehistoric monitor can go to a good cause - beside the dumpster with a "Take Me I Still Work" note on it's frame, or perhaps dad can find a use for it's parts.

:D

Driving home from a particularly nice dinner date, I commented on John's driving habits, particularly his penchant for speeding.

"I don't speed, I drive with a purpose!" was his response.

I'm curious to know what a cop might say to this if he ever got pulled over and was sassy enough to spring that explanation.
