duh!!

I'm sure you know that Sam and kitty are NOT our real names... not even close

you did know that, right? hehehe

in reality my name... rhymes with candy and his rhymes with pill and that's about as close as most of you will ever come to knowing our real names

why? don't know... I have nothing to hide and I don't think I know anyone who would even have a clue as to how to find this blog even if I plastered our full names all over the place - and I would PROBABLY point them in the right direction if anyone I know asked to be let in here so I don't really know why I try to maintain anonymity - but I do and I probably always will...

for the most part I have no problem with it... I've gotten very used to typing the names kitty and Sam... especially since I pretty much never have any reason to type our real names

but get this!! yesterday while talking with my mother, instead of saying 'name that rhymes with pill' I referred to my husband as SAM!!

it just spilled from my mouth as naturally as can be!! as soon as I said it I knew it was wrong and I tried to fix it... very awkwardly!!

now she probably thinks I've had a stroke or something!! haaaaaaaa

what the hell does that mean for me?

as far as reasons to quit blogging go... forgetting your own husband's real name should probably be at the top of the list!!

bad blogger!!

I’m being lazy about posting this week… the weather is so nice and I have so many things I want to get done around the house that I’m just not paying as much attention to this place as I normally do…

on the plus side... we got one of our tax return checks a couple days ago – YAY!! we each have about a million different things we want to do with the money (new glasses/contacts, home improvements, medical bills, student loans, and some fun stuff too) of course we only have enough money to do a few of them… one of the things I want (and have been wanting for as long as we’ve lived here!!) is a new bathroom floor!! - so much so that I'm willing to go WITHOUT glasses indefinitely

last night we bought some new tile and other assorted stuff we need to get the job done

so today I have the disgusting task of ripping out our old floor (3 layers of poorly measured, badly cut and improperly laid linoleum and vinyl tile) so that Sam can put down the new tile… when my batteries are charged I’m gonna take before pictures so you all can see what a disgusting mess our bathroom floor REALLY is!! I know you’ve heard me complain about it before but I don’t think I’ve ever really gotten the full grossness of it across… when you see, you’ll wonder how on earth we have lived with this floor for 2 years without catching a disease!! haaaa

this new floor also give me an excuse to kinda redo the color scheme in there… so I’m making new curtains and HOPEFULLY getting new towels too!! as soon as that is done I’ll post before and after pictures – WOO HOO!!

so what if I won't be able to see my new floor or curtains or towels? I'll KNOW they're there and that's all that matters!! well that and the fact that I'll no longer need to wear shoes in the bathroom to avoid getting some sort of fungus!! haaaa

anyway… I just wanted to post SOMETHING today so you all didn’t think I fell off the face of the earth

now I’m off to start demolishing my bathroom… wish me luck!!

p.s. Amber and Mimi… it took me a little while (book length comments you know!) hehehe but I did FINALLY get back to you on the post below

back on my soap box again…

fluffycat was talking about her trip to the macaroni grill and it made me think of chain restaurants and fast food and how popular they seem to be…

we don’t have much in the way of either around here… with the exception of McDonald’s and Dunkin Donuts you have to travel at least 45 minutes to get to where it’s populated enough for those types of things

there is no macaroni grill near here (within an hour) that I know of… so I’m not really sure what it’s all about… I’ve seen commercials but I never paid much attention - I doubt I’d go there anyway… like I said in her comments – the name macaroni grill kinda makes me think of those bits of macaroni that stick up out of baked ziti and get all crunchy in the oven – YUCK!! I do NOT like that!! – but then I don’t like pasta much at all so the word macaroni is kind of a turn off anyway hehehe

as I said we have McDonald’s of course… about 10-15 minutes away – no matter where you go there is ALWAYS a McDonald’s!! I’ve never been a big fast food eater… when I was a kid that sort of thing was saved strictly for special occasions… like school clothes shopping day or new shoes day… that was back when people only went clothes shopping or to get new shoes once or twice a year *GASP*

for a little while there I was eating fast food at least a couple times a month… usually when I’d go out yard sale hopping with my best friend (a total fast food junkie... or at least she was until she FINALLY watched SUPER SIZE ME) but about 5 years or so ago I decided enough was enough with the fast food… and I would ONLY allow myself to eat at a place like McDonald’s MAYBE once a year… I’m proud to say I have not eaten at McDonald’s at all in probably closer to 2 years now – the last fast food I had was at Wendy’s and that was 10 or 11 months ago – WOO HOO… YAY me!!

not that it’s much of an accomplishment… like I said I was never big into fast food anyway…

when I was a kid I had braces and we had to travel over the river and through the woods to get to the orthodontist so whenever I got them tightened we would either go to the Ground Round or to this other very small local ‘chain’ place… probably as some form of torture… ‘here you just got your braces tightened lets go have ribs you can’t eat!!’ hehehe

I’ve really only been to a couple chain places as an adult – Sam absolutely hates those places and I gotta say I’m not in love with them either (aside from the huge portions… I DO LOVE to eat after all!!) hehehe I find that everything tastes kinda the same in places like that though – like there’s some universal chain restaurant seasoning or something (I think it’s probably just salt) haaaa

one of the most popular chain restaurants seems to be Olive Garden… we went there one time because we had a gift card… neither one of us was impressed – I thought the soup was terrible… extremely salty and mushy… I like my soup to have a little substance and taste like the things that are in it – I DON’T like to have to load up on breadsticks to fill my belly!!

I forget what else I had… because it wasn’t good enough to remember… I knew we’d never go back there again

another time we went to Ruby Tuesday (another gift card… people who give us gifts obviously don’t know us very well!! hehehe)

this time it was actually not bad though… we had a $50 gift card and we used the whole thing… in the end we were pretty well stuffed!! we got ribs and a burger and split them and then shared this HUGE sundae

I don’t think Sam was THAT impressed with the place… but I thought I could see myself going back there again (if I had a gift card!) haaaa – it wasn’t great but as far as chains go it wasn’t bad either!!

once upon a time there was a sizzler not TOO far from kittyville and my friend and I would go there and pig out on the buffet… I have different standards for a buffet though… if I was paying real money for the full meal at sizzler I would NOT be happy… but for an all you can eat buffet for $7 I’ll accept slightly lesser quality

the words ‘I LOVE SIZZLER’ have been said by me more than once… I guess not enough other people felt the same way though because there are no more Sizzlers anywhere that I have seen =(
but it’s just as well since my pig out buddy moved to Ohio hehehe

I was in a starbucks once… I didn’t get anything but I HAVE had starbucks mocha frappuccinos from the Barnes & Noble café… I assume it’s pretty much the same as it would be across the street at the real starbucks store – as much as I HATE the idea of starbucks I gotta say that mocha frappuccino is pretty damn good!! especially with a giant chocolate chunk cookie!!

but did you know that there are SIXTEEN grams of fat in a grande mocha frappuccino?!! – I don’t even wanna know about the cookie!!

anyway… one of the closest chain type places we have is a dunkin donuts about 10-15 minutes away (practically across the street from that McDonald’s I mentioned) we go there once in awhile for ‘breakfast’ on our way out grocery shopping because no place else is open yet… unfortunately I always find myself wanting a donut when we go there because their muffins seem unnaturally moist and greasy and they don’t know how to toast a bagel… plus their butter isn’t real butter and I’m totally against eating fake butter!! what the hell is that stuff anyway!! from what I understand your body doesn’t know how to process it either… who needs THAT? it’s bad enough I’m at dunkin donuts – do I REALLY need to slap on some chem lab created ‘butter’ like substance my body can’t process?

however - they make this vanilla kreme donut that I just LOVE!! – even though it’s sickeningly sweet and gets powdered sugar all over me…

it reminds me of another chain donut joint that I’ve never been to - we don’t have any with an hour of us (that I know of anyway)

krispy kreme… that has got to be THE BEST name for a donut shop EVER!!

just hearing it makes my mouth water!! I think mostly because it makes me think of those vanilla kreme donuts from dunkin donuts, which are slightly crispy and soft and plump… full of delicious creamy frosting-like filling

I bet I wouldn’t actually like krispy kreme donuts though… apparently their big thing is these glazed donuts that look pretty yucky to me

I went to a Subway once… well I was IN a subway once several years ago… before they started competing with Quiznos and making hot sandwiches – but having practically been raised in a REAL deli I just couldn’t bring myself to eat that pre-sliced assembly line looking nasty crap they were trying to pass off as cold cuts!!

about a year ago though I was out with my sister and STARVING – the only place to get anything was Subway… have you noticed that ever since they started competing with Quiznos, the have been pumping some kind of brain washing delicious smelling aroma out into the street? I was lured in like a shark to a surfer!!

I got some kind of meatball parm sub on one of their fancy garlicy grain rolls… because it was the only hot sub that didn’t sound disgusting and there’s NO way I’m eating a cold sub from that place!! the meats look like the stuff oscar mayer sells in those plastic packages!! YUCK!! maybe I’m just spoiled by REAL cold cuts

anyway the meatball sub was ok… I would eat it again in a pinch I guess - of course I prefer a REAL meatball parm sub… but there weren’t any REAL delis or pizza places around

which is another thing I dislike about chain places – they have people convinced that this inferior crap is good because you get so much more (quantity) for your money

I’d rather have a sandwich made with REAL ingredients any day!! even if it’s gonna cost me a buck or two more and take a few more minutes to prepare!! I'd MUCH rather support the little guy!!

but people nowadays are so busy and in such a hurry that they just don’t seem to care what they put in their bodies or who these chains put out of business!!

of course I’m somewhat guilty too… like I said I do LOVE my mocha frappuccinos and my vanilla kreme donuts and my occasional big mac – although I think we eat FAR less of that sort of stuff than the average American seems to… that doesn’t make it right… any support I show those places makes me just as guilty as the next person

but the more I read about the true cost of supporting these types of places and the longer I write this post… the more I realize that I don’t want to be even a small part of it!!

growing up in a rural area and seeing the real farms, FAMILY farms… run by people I have known, vanish one by one… replaced by huge factory farms throughout the country - putting people out of work and off their land and basically destroying the fabric of this country!!

knowing how the animals are treated at these factory farms that are growing and spreading throughout the land as more and more chains open up creating more demand for mass quantities or inferior product

not to mention the antibiotics used to keep the animals from dying because of their horrid conditions and the growth hormones pumped in to produce more and more stuff unnaturally

people wonder why american’s are so fat and unhealthy? if you ask me it’s KARMA – people need to take responsibility for what they consume!! after all we are what we eat, right?

I don’t know about you but I do NOT want to be made up of cogs & sprockets and antibiotics or growth hormones or genetically modified produce – I don’t want to support this monster that has changed the landscape of MY country and taken jobs away from good people… that seems to have no problem confining animals to what amount to be concentration camps and torturing them… maiming them ‘for their own good’ and performing science experiments on them… AND US by passing them off as food!!

some may call this progress but I call it disgusting…

these thoughts are nothing new to me… I’ve felt this way for a while which is why I’ve always made an effort to avoid supporting these places - it’s just taken me some time to get REALLY fed up…

and I’m not going to stand for it one minute longer!! - from this point on I will not eat or drink one more fast food or chain product again… EVER!! and I WILL do my best to support local, sustainable agriculture!! and I hope you will too!!

this has been my free form rant of the day…

now… it’s Friday, so - on to the TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO!!

getting back on track...

it seems I’ve just been slightly off track for a little while now and every day I’m off track I seem to find myself further and further off

normally I try to have dinner ready about a ½ hour after Sam gets home from work… that gives him time to relax a bit before we eat… lately I feel like I haven’t been too on the ball with that plan either – it’s like I lose track of the time and I don’t start dinner until he’s due home in 20 minutes… and since I’m NOT Rachael Ray that just doesn’t work hehehe

when I first started cooking I looked for all sorts of shortcuts and dubbed myself the queen of the 20 minute meal (that was long before anyone who isn’t from upstate NY had ever even heard of Rachael Ray)

over the years I’ve gotten more confident with my cooking skills and interested in more elaborate meals – I don’t think I’m a particularly good cook or anything… I just get bored by the same old stuff day in and day out so I make a lot of weird stuff

usually when people ask me what we’re having for dinner they look at me like I’m nuts when I tell them braciole or jollof rice or souvlaki because where I come from these are things that people have either never heard of or they only eat in restaurants or from the freezer section

what this has to do with my original point, I have no idea…

anyway I try to have dinner worked out by breakfast time so that any meat I might need will be thawed out in time but yesterday was one of those days where I couldn’t think at all and I had no idea what to do about dinner (even though I have a menu for the week sitting right out in plain sight)

Sam called at lunch time and requested something spicy so I told him I’d make something indian – indian dishes tend to be kinda time consuming but it was early so it shouldn’t have been a problem

but then it seemed I blinked and the day was nearly over and by the time Sam got home I was nearing the point of being completely useless – I was nowhere near having dinner ready and it seemed to me like it would be another 4 hours before we might eat

I was slumped over the kitchen counter with my head in my hands, feeling sorry for myself…

when he saw me there he offered to go pick up something for dinner but I said no – I would have felt worse knowing we had to spend money because I was such a basket case (I just HATE spending money) hehehe

then he offered to make dinner for me – I kinda laughed… I thought for sure that would take longer… he has no idea where anything is hehehe he’s clearly very spoiled… he never cooks ANYTHING!! ok well maybe he’ll make himself the occasional egg or toast – but he’s only ever cooked a real meal one other time (which came out AWESOME by the way!) but it was a little less time consuming than this one and there was far less chopping and grating

we settled on him helping me – we decided that I would do the chopping and grating and that sort of thing (since he’s left handed and it drives me nuts to watch him try to use any sort of utensil!!) and he would do the measuring, dumping, stirring and time keeping… and surprisingly (to me anyway) it went very well – we had dinner on the table in 45 minutes – if I did it on my own last night it would have taken me well over an hour

it’s amazing how much time you can save by not having to keep an eye on what’s cooking while you move on to the next step – basically he cooked the whole meal… in the end I think all I did was chop up the chicken and a couple of onions, grate some ginger and run a few garlic cloves through the press

it was nice… we worked together well… I don’t know why that would surprise me, we always do no matter what we’re working on

so once again my hero stepped up and saved the day!!

it totally turned my mood around and I was almost immediately more relaxed
and it saved me energy which I was able to use later by staying awake long enough to have sex haaaa

we should cook together more often!!

bad impressions…

why is it that people always see you as how they remember you being in the past - they don't get that you've grown up or changed at all…

sometimes I wish I could move far away to where nobody has known me all my life so I could actually be seen more as who I am now and less like who I was when I was a stupid kid

I’m really MUCH more shy than the people who know me would think – because for most of the time they’ve known me I’ve been little miss sarcastic – which is part of my personality that I would REALLY like to shake!! I can be a hard person to like sometimes and that bothers me

I think the only person who REALLY knows me and loves me for ME is Sam... and even he is a little confused by my polar opposite personality conflicts sometimes haaaa

I DO have a very sarcastic nature which A LOT of people don’t get – I think the only person who ever got my sarcasm and was able to match it was Sam’s father – he never seemed offended or put off by me (once he got to know me anyway) of course the fucker had to go and croak – dammit!!

most of the people who know me see me as kind of inappropriate, rude or mean because that’s how I was when I was younger I guess (still am sometimes) - mostly because I was/am totally self conscious and somehow got it in my head that it would be better to make other people feel uncomfortable first rather than them doing it to me – and if people were going to NOT like me it was going to be because of this sort of fake obnoxious persona and not because of the real me who is really VERY self conscious, easily embarrassed and shy!!

I tend to be pretty over the top with a lot of things I say - probably because I was NOT a very popular kid and got teased a lot when I was little… being myself then obviously didn’t work for me – so I grew into this character who ‘OBVIOUSLY’ didn’t give a shit what anyone thought – which is partly true… I don’t care what people think of a lot of what I’m about – NOW

not that I don’t care actually… it’s just that I have my opinions and if you don’t like them – tough shit!

anyway when I was younger I was VERY concerned with what other people were thinking!! of course I still am, somewhat… I have a strong need to be told I’ve done something well – apparently even if all I’ve done well is make people uncomfortable haaaa

over the last several years I’ve made a serious effort to be less sarcastic in social situations because I do know that I have a tendency to take it a bit too far and make people uncomfortable – there is a line between witty sarcasm and downright obnoxiousness which I have a hard time seeing… and people have come to expect that from me – and even though it’s been several years since I’ve really noticed this about myself and started trying to work on it – people still think of me in that way

that bothers me – see I told you I care what people think! haaaa

can you ever shake people’s impressions of you? or is this why most people don’t spend their entire lives in the same town or in close proximity to people who’ve known them all their lives? hehehe

some pics and stuff...

yesterday afternoon... a couple hours after the snow started - the birds were going NUTS in anticipation of the bad weather - there were at least 50 of them out there for most of the day fighting with eachother and flying into the kitchen window!!



this morning when I woke up this is what it looked like out there.... you can barely tell we even have a table out there - there's so much snow it has the one picnic table bench completely buried!!



by the time Sam FINALLY got home last night we had at least a foot of snow in the driveway and the state had plowed the road leaving a heavy pile of compacted snow at the edge of the driveway... he could barely get the truck in far enough off the road - it's still stuck out there waiting for someone to come plow the driveway and give him room to move



all I can say is thank god it's the middle of march and this crap won't be around for long!!

p.s. did you hear about those 6th grade kids in indiana or wherever it was who had sex in their classroom with the teacher IN THE ROOM?!?!!!

WHAT the hell is wrong with people?!?!!

I'm tired of thinking up titles...

last night I learned that I am NOT smarter than a 5^th grader… in fact I’m not even smarter than a second grader!! I’m not surprised… especially when it comes to math!! but I did think I was a little smarter than it turns out I am... I mean I used to think I was a reasonably intelligent person… not super smart or anything but smart enough to help a child with his homework for sure – apparently NOT!!

maybe all those teachers were wrong and I really WAS working up to my ability maybe it’s just that I don’t have much ability haaaa - needless to say I won’t be going on that show any time soon… however Sam could easily win us a million bucks!!

that is if he makes it home tonight before the roads turn to total crap!! almost all our old snow JUST melted in the last two days causing minor flooding and now it looks like we’re gonna get another foot or more dumped on us – the way the streams are raging it should be interesting when this new snow melts!!

I don’t mind big snows though… this time of year it doesn’t last very long – plus it’s kinda nice to get snowed in… we have plenty of food and movies (the two absolute essentials if you ask me!) hehehe so I’m kinda looking forward to it… once Sam is home anyway… until he gets home I’ll bite my nails down to bloody nubs waiting for him!! it’s only been snowing for about an hour and people are already slowing down on the road

normally we go grocery shopping on Saturdays but this week Sam is supposed to go up to Albany for some hunting expo thingy so I thought I’d go shopping today with my mother instead – looks like he probably won’t be able to go to his thing because of the weather but I’m glad I went shopping early anyway – wouldn’t wanna be stuck without any good things to cook for the weekend!!

of course apparently everyone else had the same idea… what is it with people? they hear it MIGHT snow and they all go into a panic and raid the supermarkets like it’s the end of the fucking world!! do they think they’ll be stuck inside for 3 months or something?

I just don’t get it? hehehe

anyway… apparently I don’t have all that much to say today so I’m gonna shut up and get some work done around here – gotta straighten up, vacuum and take a shower so I can sit back and enjoy this snowy weekend!!

here’s another TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO – because I miss these guys!! seriously neither me or Sam can see one of these places without singing this song!!

little visitor...

not the 'visitor' I was expecting - but isn't he cute? he just showed up yesterday and decided to get comfortable and have himself a little pig out on my bird seed!!

laugh... or not... it's all the same to me

due to a lack of time and energy and the fact that I can't be bothered - I'm posting these somewhat amusing, possibly offensive quotes which my mother emailed to me this morning
hopefully I'll have something more to say tomorrow... or the next day

now on with 'the philosophy of sex' (according to a bunch of has beens and dead celebrities)

dreams and stuff…

this morning I dreamed I was hanging out with a friend and we won some sort of contest to spend a night with Matthew McConaughey… I don’t think anything naughty took place… we were all just hanging out – like old friends or something

morning came and he got a phone call (looked like a pager but when he handed it to me it was a phone) anyway the call was from Daryl Hannah

first of all… what the hell is Daryl Hannah doing in my dream??!! has anyone even thought of her since the 80’s?

secondly - who looks at their little GIRL and decides to name her Daryl? for that matter who names a BOY Daryl? it’s like you’re just asking for them to grow up missing teeth and wearing sleeveless flannel shirts to their job down to the chevron station

(if any of you are named Daryl or have children named Daryl I'm sorry... not that I said that - but that you or your kids are named Daryl haaaa)

anyway… I don’t know why he handed the phone to me but he did… at this point I realized we were in my grandparents house – in MY bedroom because when I took the phone I walked down the hall into the BIG bedroom (of course you have no idea what I’m talking about… I’ll try to dig out some pictures)

the cell reception wasn’t good I guess… the call kept cutting out

eventually I guess I got frustrated and went back to my bedroom… (after all I'd WAY rather hang out with Matthew McConaughey than have a crappy broken cell phone conversation with Daryl Hannah... although I'm sure she's a perfectly nice woman... she ain't Matthew McConaughey!!) but when I got back to the room, instead of Matthew McConaughey being there… Keanu Reeves was lounged out on my bed... in his underwear (this part I can understand since I was watching My Own Private Idaho yesterday)

he was saying that he should get back to work – and I said ‘it seems to me you’ve made enough money in your life that you can afford to never work again if you choose… surely you can miss one day’

just as he was about to agree… Sam woke me up!! ARGH!!

~~~**~~~

the weekend was alright… we went grocery shopping on Saturday morning – I noticed in the circular that they FINALLY had strawberries for a decent price ($1.99 for a 1 pound container) and I was so happy!! because just like I get sick of light summery dinners like grilled meats and veggie kabobs and start craving roast chicken dinners and stew and biscuits by the time August rolls around

I get so sick of winter fruits!! I LOVE grapefruit and pomegranates but by the time January hits I’ve pretty much stopped eating fruit altogether… I just can’t stand the thought of one more piece of citrus squirting me in the eye hehehe

I got a wonderful surprise this weekend though – right there next to the gorgeous looking strawberries (which I got 4 huge containers of) - they had fresh raspberries… for 99 CENTS!!! that’s totally unheard of!! I usually get excited if I see them for $1.99 - HOORAY for genetically modified, lab fruits!!

I got myself 4 containers!!

of course I had JUST given in a day or so before and made myself this HUGE container of fruit salad with grapefruit, oranges, banana and pomegranate (FYI if you’ve never put pomegranate in a citrus salad before, you should!!)

so now I have mass quantities of fruit salad and enough berries to choke a horse

and Sam just had this intestinal illness… which is making me kinda worry about eating too much fruit if ya know what I mean hehehe – don’t wanna catch his disease right after I eat a big bowl of fruit salad… YIKES!!

~~~**~~~

we went to the movies Saturday… we were hoping to see the number 23 but it wasn’t there anymore so we saw ZODIAC instead… it wasn’t anything like I expected… not that I’m really sure what I expected – but I liked it a lot! there was one pretty gruesome scene… it wasn’t all that bloody but it still made us both wince and kinda curl up in that ‘holy shit! that had to hurt!’ position

I also liked the huge vat of buttery delicious popcorn and bag of sunspire peanut sundrops mmm hmmm

I LOVE those things… they’re like M&M’s without all the horrible crap that makes you bounce off the walls!! they take a little getting used to (like most things at the health food store) but now I actually like them better than the real thing!!

~~~**~~~

Sam and I didn’t get along all that well this weekend… we’ve both been on edge – him probably because he’s been sick and I’ve been bloated and miserable so there hasn’t been much sex (until last night anyway) he seems much more mellow now haaaa

I’m still bloated and achy and miserable and my back feels like someone kicked me in the kidney and tail bone – I haven’t had PMS like this in a LONG time!! – I’m blaming the super delicious banana cake I made on Friday that is slathered in creamy sugary cream cheese frosting (I tried to cut back on the sugar… but that is kinda the bulk of what frosting is made of)

here it is Monday morning and the cake is mostly gone!!! Sam DID help… but not enough haaaa

what was I gonna do? I had bananas about to rot… I couldn’t let them go to waste now could I? hehehe

anyway.. if I don’t get my period soon I’m just gonna crawl into a corner and rock until some kind soul comes along and shoots me!!

my brain is melting…

I’m overloaded with distractions… I know I should post something today and for days I’ve had thought after thought that I wanted to put down here – you would think I would have learned by now to jot those thoughts down for when I have more time… but NO!

now I have some time and I can’t think of a single thing to say

I’ll blame NSM for posting his nifty new mp3 player today and distracting me with lots of music to swipe (I added a couple of his songs to MY player) haaaa

and my friend Tina for sending out 2 new surveys for me to fill out on myspace – it’s no secret I LOVE surveys and memes (that’s me #1 loser!!)

I should post one of them in here just for SOMETHING to say… but I think you all know every single detail about me by now haaaa

last week I was filling out a survey posted by my friend in Ohio and one of the things I had to do was name something weird that she doesn’t know about me – she’s my best friend so she knows almost everything about me so I really had to stretch to think of something (in fact I asked Brian for help) haaaa

the one thing she doesn’t know is the ‘kinky’ sexual stuff – so I told her I like to be tied up (that was the most mild thing I could have said) – needless to say she was petty amused by that – I think for now I’ll keep my other naughty interests to myself… and you guys of course hehehe

well folks – it’s Friday again and you know what that means… time for another TOTALLY AESOME VIDEO!! this one seems particularly appropriate for the conversation around here lately haaaa

ENJOY!!

I wonder…

why all the townsfolk on the Munsters would always freak out when they saw Herman – I mean it seemed like a pretty small town – the kind of place where everyone knows everyone, ya know? and assuming the Munsters lived at 1313 Mockingbird Lane in Mockingbird Heights, a neighborhood in this small town, for several years (their house certainly looked well lived in!!) and they would leave their home as regularly as everyone else (Herman had a job, Eddie went to school) why did people always run away screaming whenever they would see him? shouldn’t they have been used to these people? they were neighbors for fuck sake!!

I live in a small town and I know how it is... a person can't try a new brand of dish soap without everyone talking about it!!

so you would think word of the freakish family on Mockingbird Lane would have spread pretty quickly... I know they would be the talk of the town if they moved to kittyville!! after all you can only talk about dish soap for so long

my experiment...

I know I’ve been neglecting this place for the last week or so – I’ve been kinda lost in my own head… nothing bad – just not being as productive as I’d like… but I’m back now

of course I don’t have much to say… well I do but I’m not gonna say it hehehe it’s already noon and I foresee a kind of tiring day ahead of me – I just wanted to pop in and let you know that I’m still alive

and that I’m conducting a sort of experiment - something I’ve been wanting to do for a while… I put this handy dandy little mp3 player over there in my sidebar... nothing major... just a sampling of some of my favorite music... ya know so you all can see what a huge dork I truly am haaaa

it’s taken forever for me to do for various reasons and now it’s to the point where I’ve totally lost interest in it and I’m just doing it anyway so that I can say that I finished it (I’m not real good at finishing what I start)

although depending on how it works it may be a huge waste of time anyway… but at least I’ll have done it to completion to the best of my ability… anything that goes wrong now is beyond my control (mainly financially) I’m not willing to pay money to share my favorite music with you guys haaaa

anyway… there are a whole bunch of songs (78 or so I think) from slow and mellow to hard and thrashy – so… I dunno… I guess that’s it for now

ENJOY!!

** I just realized there were a handful of songs I forgot to put on there... but they're there now - I'm sure there are others I forgot though... I'll add them when I think of them

*** STOP THE INSANITY - I just added another dozen songs!! GAH!!
