A place where I let some of the things running around my mind out to play.
Sexuality, sports, baking, random nonsense, mental health and whatever else I feel compelled to write about.
Not everyone in the world likes breakfast tacos. Obvious because I'm not sure there's anything in the world that every single person would agree on but I'd never considered that there are people who hate breakfast tacos. Or any kind of tacos for that matter.
Sunday is absolutely the worst day in the world to go grocery shopping. I'm still not sure what I was thinking aside from really wanting milk so I could continue on with my cereal addiction uninterrupted.
Even if I hate both teams playing, I will watch hockey if it's on. (Hello, Boston and Philadelphia.)
Cards Against Humanity is a lot of fun. Twisted, sides aching from laughing fun. I knew this already. The realization I had this weekend was how many weird and fucked up things I've learned about people in my life by playing this game. Things I would've otherwise likely never known had the game and certain cards not opened up into commentary thus revealing things about people that I'd sometimes like to unlearn.
Some people take the outfits of other people far too seriously. You're not wearing it and it's not hurting anyone, so please, calm the hell down. There's really no need for a five minute tirade about that ugly skirt and why that girl wasted her money. If it makes someone happy and hurts no one, leave it alone.
Some people will always be offended or upset when you would rather sit at home reading a book or drawing over going out to do something with them. They will always take it personally no matter how many times you explain that it's not them, it's you because sometimes, some of us just need to not be around other people. There's no need to apologize for needing time for yourself.
Books, music and baking are some of my favorite ways to lose myself but lately boxing has been a pretty favorable activity. Which is surprising to me because I've always thought boxing was a bit ridiculous.
Having someone in your life that can always make you laugh is one of the greatest gifts you could ever receive.
I suck at asking for or accepting help when I need it, no matter what the issue at hand is. I need to get better about that. One day. Eventually. Maybe some day soon.
A broken blood vessel in your eye is not particularly painful. It is however one of the most annoying things in the world. Seriously, I just want to scoop my eyeball out, latch on an eye patch and call it a day.
Yesterday, I went with The Boyfriend to his car club meeting. After the meeting, we went with a group of the car club people to hang out at one of the car club couple's house. The couple are friends of The Boyfriend and I and they're one of the few people in the car club I actually like, lol. Anyway. A group of us were hanging out at their house and one of the women had gotten Hot Tub Time Machine while picking up snacks to bring over. She had seen it already but got it because she wanted to buy it and thought it would be fun for us to all watch it. She was sitting on the love seat with her new boyfriend and she starts talking about parts in the movie... before they happen. Then they happen and she's like, "See, told you that was funny." Ahahaha, it might have been funnier had I not already been ready for it to happen. I don't like this girl (woman really, I think she's 34 or 35) because she's obnoxious, pretentious, thinks she knows everything and she's a bitch. Not that I needed any more reason to dislike her but there was another one. I dislike when people talk through a movie. I'm okay with a little chatter here and there but not a lot of it. I also just really hate when people give away stuff that happens in movies before it happens. Especially when they know they're the only one in the room that has actually seen the movie. I wanted to take my shoe off and hit her with it. Though, that wouldn't have gone over well. In theory, that stuff is always fun sounding. In reality, it would have caused more trouble than it would have been worth. She's pretty good friends with the female half of our couple friends and out of the 8 people there, only me and another person there really dislike this woman. I don't like causing drama so I didn't throw my shoe. I did make a comment about hating getting narration from the audience. She got the hint, glared at me but shut up after that.
Saturday night (or technically Sunday morning since it was 1:00 AM :p), after The Boyfriend got home from work, we played Scrabble. LONGEST GAME EVER. Probably not but it was longer than any other Scrabble game we've played before. It was a very close game too. But.... I won. :D *victory dance*I love playing Scrabble, though. Especially with him because it's always a good game.
I think Midnight Pomegranate lotion from Bath & Body Works smells like SweetTarts candy. It smells a little like pomegranate to me but mostly, it just smells like the candy.
Earlier Saturday night, I was bored and trying to figure out something to keep myself busy with and decided to go clean the bathroom. I was going to clean the toilet but the scrubby brush to do so has gone M.I.A. I really hate when inanimate objects sprout legs & run off. I have no clue where it was but Sunday, it was back in it's spot. I hate when that happens.
I tweeted this around 8 PM Saturday night: I'm wearing a green glow bracelet. Friend asked why. I said, "In case I run into Superman. I'll fuck his world up." That tweet got retweeted by 13 different people. Which amused the hell out of me. I love when people get amused by the silly things I say.
I love this song. I have no reason behind why I'm posting it other than that. :)
Though, I did enjoy seeing all the guesses. Curvaceous Dee made me chuckle the most with her guess. Thanks to all who played along with me and took a guess! I might do this again sometime soon. It's fun and I enjoy seeing the things people come up with. Next time, I'll make it a little more difficult. ;)
Review to come soon! I can't get the pictures off my damn phone right now and that is all I'm waiting for. I've sent them, they just haven't shown up in my e-mail yet. I could take pictures off a website but I'd rather use my own. So, hurry up AT&T/Gmail. Which ever of the two is to blame for the delay in my pictures! Heh. =o)
I went out to lunch with my mom and sister. Ran in to a co-worker while at the restaurant. One that I really like too so it was actually a pleasant exchange.
Afterward, we went to the mall. I needed some sandals. I'm convinced my letter to Mother Nature will prove successful and I don't wear anything but sandals, flip flops or open toed shoes in the warmer months. Of course, I don't own a lot of shoes. I can use one hand to count the pairs of shoes I have and still have room for more, lol. So I only have a cheap $5 pair of flip flops that annoy me because they're cheap, shitty little things but you get what you pay for and at the time that was what I could afford. So, I was in search of sandals that won't make me cringe and that was pretty much my mission. Of course, I hate the mall but meh, I had checked several stores in search of sandals and came up with a big fat fucking nothing. I'm PICKY. I don't like girlie stuff and that generally presents a problem when I need to shop for stuff.
The first place I went was Hot Topic. They had some sexy as fuck boots I wanted and some sexy as fuck platform pumps I wanted too. At $95 and $65 though, they weren't what I was going to get. Also not what I had set out for and I just like to get what I want and be done. I didn't like any of the sandals they had. They all looked like someone had puked neon paint in stupid designs all over them. I gather from all the shit I saw today, neon colors are back I guess and ick. I'm so not wearing shirts that look like people puked neon splats of paint randomly all over them and then after it dried, put some design in the center of the mess. Not doing it with pants or shoes or anything else either.
Though while I was in HT, I did find some stuff I liked and decided to buy just because. I love Apocalyptica and have for years. They're a bit more popular now so they had one t-shirt on the band shirt wall. Which made me happy because it was pretty cool looking and I love the band. I wish you could suggest bands for them to find shirts for to sell, lol. Maybe I should just design my own for the bands I love that aren't mainstream enough. Hmm, there's an idea. I digress. I got that shirt and then I moved on to another wall I always have to look at in there....
.....Yeah, the wall that has the socks, leggings, arm warmers, gloves, scarves and all that stuff. If you've read here long enough, you know I freaking love socks. I have more pairs of socks than any person really needs. Some chicks have one hundred pairs of shoes. Me? Nah, I have three or four pairs of shoes but I have one hundred pairs of socks. Of course, that's a minor exaggeration but you get my point. ;) I saw about ten pairs I liked but settled on these two pairs......
After getting my socks picked out, I decided to buy something I haven't purchased in a long time. I'm talking something I haven't purchased in years. Earrings. Yep. I don't ever remember to wear them anymore so it isn't generally necessary to buy new pairs of them. I have issues buying earrings generally too. I don't dig girlie ones. I don't do trendy ones. I'm a picky fucking chick basically. I hardly see earrings I like and I don't like to shop long enough to really search much for them. I found some I liked in HT though.
Oh, you noticed there's a pair missing? How very observant y'all are. ;) If you didn't notice, no big deal. The missing pair are these little spikes I saw and liked. I used to have a pair similar to this but then sadly, I lost them. They aren't on the package because they're chillin' in my earlobes.
So that was all I got in Hot Topic. By then I was thinking I might just forget about the sandals since I got some other shit that I hadn't intended to get but then I was thinking on it and decided to go search out some sandals anyway. Why work so hard if you can't buy some small stuff you'll like?
I did find some sandals too. It was the only pair out of like fifty+ Famous Footwear had that I liked at all, lol. I'm picky, as I said.I also don't like the twenty+ pairs of sandals I saw that have that quark board looking wedge on them or whatever that crap is. Bleh. I wear a size nine to a ten depending on the brand and it's a little difficult finding shoes I like in my size. A lot of times I will find one pair of shoes I like and then they won't have them in a big enough size for me, lol. Anyway, here are the ones I got. Pretty simple and black of course. The Stars were what caught my attention. ;)
That concludes the picture show of my shopping extravaganza. Next time I go to the mall, I hope it's at the end of the year to knock out my Christmas shopping. *grin*
Come one, I KNOW more of you want to battle me on that silly little game I was talking about a couple days ago. MsRummy on MyBrute! Create your characters using that link (you know, so you can help me out and have fun too! *wink*) Unless you have already then hey, you rock and thank you! I'm slightly shameless, I admit that, it doesn't bother me, no need to mention it. I could be far worse things, after all. ;)
So, if you're a dork like me and read webcomics but some how don't read Questionable Content, you totally should. The Engineer turned me on to that webcomic several years ago and I've been a loyal reader ever since. It starts out kind of slow but it's awesome to see the art and the wit of the banter progress. I fucking love it. Pintsize and Hannelore are my two favorite characters, they're pretty awesome.
My post title comes from this song. =) I usually don't mention the song my title comes from but generally my titles are lyrics out of songs. I've had this song stuck in my head the last couple of days. It makes me chuckle.
I'm a little nerdy. I love science fiction and fantasy novels and movies. I think I figured out the reason why the Twilight books don't much appeal to me. I know they're marketed towards teens and youngsters but I know PLENTY of adults in their 20's up into their 50's who are just as obsessed or taken in with the Twilight series as any dreamy 16 year old. I don't think they're bad but I don't get the obsession over them. I'll stick with my Laurell K Hamilton books. Anita Blake and her crew would totally prevail in a fight with the Twilight characters. Just sayin'. ;) Anyway, I got myself sidetracked there. I dig the vampire, were animal, mythological creature and all around monsters kind of shit.
Also, I love video games. My DS is probably one of the coolest gifts my boyfriend has ever given me. I also love his PS2 because the Devil May Cry games are some of the coolest games ever made, in my opinion. I also stumble upon silly little games online that I like to play. So in true beggar fashion, I'm going to request y'all to please check out this link for me and sign up.
I need more pupils to progress in the game faster. You have to use that link to sign up though in order to help me out. It will take you to a page that has VS Ms Rummy on it and you just type in whatever name you want to name your character, change the look and go from there. So if you'll kindly click that link and take one minute to do the easy sign up (that doesn't even require an e-mail address) you would be helping me and my nerdy game loving self out. Pretty please? Hey, you might even dig the game yourself. It's not much actually. It's an amusing way to kill 5 minutes a day. Oh and you can totally fight my little character too. ;) Or you can just sign up, help me out and then never touch it again. Either way, I would appreciate it and you would be a super awesome person. *grin* If you are one of the awesome people who I manage to convince to sign up through my lame begging then feel free to let me know who you are so I know who my pupils are. Or you can be snazzy like Bella Dreamer and sign up using your blog identity. ;)
So, I came to the realization today that even after being together for almost 3 years, Boyfriend and I have never had "angry sex" at all. Not once. I've had it before with others but with him? Nope. Even with my bad temper, it's never happened. He doesn't get angry often. It just doesn't happen. He's not an angry person and he's got a world of patience. He's a seriously laid back and mellow kind of guy. And when I'm pissed, he ends up upset (usually if I'm pissed at him) or staying out of my way because it's the smart thing to do. Or, he tries to just rationally calm me down to the best of his abilities. Which he does pretty decently by either making me laugh or just shoving some mellow off on me.
We're insanely alike in a lot of ways and we have a truck load of things in common. We also have things one of us likes and the other one can't stand. (IE He likes the Beastie Boys, I can't stand them. I love techno, trance and stuff like that and he's not the biggest fan of that kind of music.) Then we have our personality differences. A few instances being that he's calm, mellow and laid back. I'm energetic, feisty and out going. He can have fun sitting at home and doing nothing. I like to be out and about going going going and doing doing doing. In our differences though, we tend to compliment each other. I'm a little less loud and crazy and don't mind spending a night sitting at home not doing much. I used to get stir crazy doing that and just couldn't stand it. I don't feel the need to go out every night anymore. Him, who was perfectly content to sit around all the time likes to go out a bit more and do more things. It's cool because we're enough alike in our personalities and interests that we get along wonderfully but not so much alike that we drive each other batshit crazy.
At work last night, I got to wait on a group of guys. Some basketball players and their coaches. They had a check that was almost $100. One of the coaches was paying for all the food and paid with a credit card. It took me three trips to get all their stuff out to them and I got them every thing they needed and I made sure they had plenty of napkins (because you know, hungry teenage boys are kinds messy ;)) and checked on them a couple times to make sure all was well. No tip though. They were nice enough to clean up their tables though. I was so not looking forward to that since the first time I walked by there were napkins and junk all over the place. They cleaned up once they were done eating though. I did appreciate that. It's always nice when someone cleans up their own mess as much as they can. I fucking hate it when a customer leaves and you have to go clean their table and find ranch smeared on it, pieces of food here and there, lettuce strewn from here to there, other various toppings mashed and stuffed in places, sticky substances that you're not sure about, food dropped all over the ground, condiments dropped on the ground on purpose, dessert toppings smeared on the tables and dropped on the floor, shredded up napkins and all kinds of other crap. Seriously, would you do that shit in your house? Do you not realize that someone has to clean up that disgusting mess you just made? I know it's part of the job we get paid to do but you don't need to go out of your way to make a big mess just because you don't have to be the one to clean it up.
Also last night at work, this woman asked me if I could bring her some honey. We don't have honey actually. NOTHING on our menu requires honey so, we don't have it. Looking at their meals, I was perplexed on what she would need honey for. Given her and her dining companions had various things, all different from the other. A burger with chili fries, a salad, a grilled chicken sandwich, plain fries and all of them drinking sodas. I asked what she wanted the honey for. She wanted it for her french fries. She liked to mix ketchup and honey together. I laughed and said that sounded odd. She said, "They mix is with mustard for honey mustard so why not mix it with ketchup for honey ketchup? It's good, you need to try it!" Then we had a small discussion about what I did eat honey on. She said she would try honey on fried chicken if I would try honey and ketchup mixed together. So, I did try honey and ketchup mixed together once I got home. I had a feeling it wasn't going to be much. I figured at most it was only going to make the ketchup sweeter and maybe have a hint of the honey flavor in it. I was right. Wasn't too bad either. If you want to eat sweet ketchup. I wouldn't go out of my way to mix it up and eat it again but meh, it wasn't the worst thing I've tried. I've tried some awful concoctions too. I have a ridiculousvery healthy curiosity that can be rather terrible at times. I have to try almost everything. If it's new, I want to try it. I've tried some foods I knew would be disgusting but tried them anyway because hey, you never really know unless you try. Of course, I believe there are some exceptions. Some things (animal brains, insects, cow tongue) just don't appeal to me at all and I have no interest in trying. Given my curiosity, if I have no urge to try it just because I've never tried it before, it's not happening. If I can't wrap my mind around wanting to try it just for curiosity or experience sake, it won't happen, lol.
Last but not least, here are some helpful but mostly complete bullshit tips from yours truly.
-When putting eye drops in your eyes, keep your mouth shut. Just in case your aim is a little off or just in case you happen to flinch. Visine in your mouth is not the best thing to put in there.
-TAKE YOUR SOCKS OFF before YOU GET IN THE SHOWER.
-Sadly, duct tape does not fix everything. What can't be fixed with duct tape, is lost beyond saving. Throw it away and replace it immediately.
-Internet stalking is still stalking. Back away from the keyboard before your interweb privileges get revoked.
-Texting yourself to tell yourself you need to go home because you're out too late and have to be up early for work is actually not as good an idea as it sounds. Upon reading the text, you're likely to rebel against yourself and stay out later just to spite yourself. You're so independent and strong willed, you take orders from no one. Not even yourself.
That is one of my favorite lines out of the movie Batman Begins. Of course, I had heard something similar long before the movie was thought up. Just sayin', the line and the scene it happens in are among my favorites in the movie. I love the movie too because hey, I love just about anything that has to do with Batman. Not to mention I think Christopher Nolan rocks.
One of my favorite ways to relax after work is to watch a movie. I don't care for much that comes on television. I'm a House freak. I love CSI. I find other shows entertaining but I don't try to keep up with much. I'd rather watch sports or a movie. I get home from work between midnight and 2 am, so there isn't much in sports for me to watch. Unless I have a Stars game from the night recorded on the DVR because I missed it earlier because of that job thing. So generally, I prefer to watch a movie after work to relax. Or at least part of one I've seen before if I'm not going to be able to stay awake for it all, lol. I like my job for the most part. I like most of my managers for the most part too. It's my co-workers and the customers that irritate me. I can't stand how petty, immature, two-faced, gossipy, self-entitled, over-inflated and ignorant my co-workers are for the most part. The customers, it's about half and half with. Some days better, some days worse. You just have to try and not let people get to you too much. I used to get so annoyed, so much more easily than I do now. I learned not to let people piss on my parade and make my day more shitty. They can only do that if I allow them to influence me so. Most days I remember that and don't let people get to me. Some days, I slip. Thankfully, I always remember later. After I'm done slamming things around and venting my anger through actions and noises. ;)
Anyway.... My Stars play tonight! I'll be at work though. I always wear a Stars tshirt (I have 4 or 5 different ones, lol) under my work shirt on game nights I have to be at work. I'm not sure why I do that either. I just started doing it. The night I started doing it, they lost. I still do it anyway. Recently, we've done pretty badass. I'm talking weeks, not the last couple games, lol. Hopefully they do well in the game tonight. GO STARS!
I haven't had much internet here in the last few days. The weather has been terribly crappy. Lots of strong wings, cold, rain, ice, snow and all that fun shit. We have wireless. It doesn't like to keep a signal for long. I actually wrote this post out in MS Word and then when the internet was working for a few minutes, hopped on and set it to auto post. While I miss reading the blogs and being able to respond to the emails I have stacking up (I'll get to them as I can =D) what sucks more is not being able to check on the couple games I play on-line and not being able to get on NHL.com, lol. I'm lame, I know this and I'm fine with it. My games I play are interactive games so my characters on them need tending to on a regular basis. I'm missing doing that, lol. I'm not your hardcore total OMG I'M HAVING WITHDRAWALS type gamer but I'm semi-addicted to the couple I do play. Which reminds me. I LOVE the Nintendo DS Lite that Boyfriend got me for That Holiday. I knew I loved those things already. Youngest Brother has an original DS and I loved playing that thing. My issue is, especially with the Guitar Hero game, is that I sit down to play it for half and hour and then I'm playing for an hour or longer. I say I'll play one more song and then five songs later, I put it down. I'll clear one more level on this game and then I'll be done. Then six levels later, I'll finally put it down. I get sucked into that shit and end up playing for longer than I intend to, lol. I want some of those Brain games too. I love doing things like those and I already know I'll get stuck on them too. It's the same with books. My biggest problem with books is I go through them too fast. I'll say I'm going to stop for the day at the ending of chapter five and then by chapter twelve, I finally put the book down. Usually because I have something else I actually have to do, not because I'm tired of reading, lol. I get lost in things I really enjoy. I don't mind. Sometimes, it's annoying though since I know I could have gotten something more productive done. It doesn't bother me or effect me negatively enough to change it though so I'm good.
Oh you know what pisses me off? When you're watching a movie and the DVD/BluRay player just fucking flakes out and the movie freezes. You can try all the ways you're supposed to to make it work, to make it go but nothing. Wait, wait, wait. Troubleshoot this, troubleshoot that. You're restarting your damn movie, all over from the beginning. That little power light blinks right off as you're resetting it and it's totally mocking you. Simple little human, slave to the electronic devices. You push the buttons but who ends up frustrated when it doesn't work right or when it malfunctions? Yuh, we do. Of course, I don't believe the BluRay player we have has any emotions or feelings but it sounds all dramatic like to make it seem like there's a bigger plan in the scheme of things other than the simple fact that there was some kind of lame malfunction in the hardware. C'mon now. =)
That's enough rambling for today. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. =)
