| Come Tuesday, She’ll Take a Different Route |
[November 23 2009] |

http://cuteoverload.com/2009/11/23/come-tuesday-shell-take-a-different-route/ http://cuteoverload.com/?p=35052 Perhaps looking somewhat thuggish, they still seemed gentlemanly enough, so when Clarice Starling spotted them on her way to work, she didn’t think twice about it.
As she passed them, she gave them a shy smile. And when she received a smirk in return, she realized the worst: They were mockingbirds. Roosting over a construction site.
“Hey, chick! Nice flanks – they could kind of use some work, dontcha think? And what kind of flight feathers are those? You know, in some human worlds, they’d call your tarsus a cankle! Anyone ever tell you your rump is bigger than a toucan’s mandible?”
Eating crow is hard to swallow, B.J. P.

| Your girlfriend is frightening the kittens |
[November 23 2009] |

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/passiveaggressivenotes/~3/HzOVWSm2tY8/ http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/?p=11804 P.J. in Huntington, New York says his girlfriend found this note on the stairs “the morning after she came over dressed like a school girl.”
Meanwhile, P.J. leaves several questions unanswered in his explanation, among them…So, why did your your girlfriend come over to Mom’s house dressed like Britney circa 1998? How old is this girlfriend, relative to the age of a) an actual school girl and b) yourself? Is your mother, in fact, a cat?
Moral of the story: When dressing to impress, show your respect for Mom’s taste by dressing like something out a good porn movie. (I mean, Lauren, really, sexy school girl? So trite!)

Degrassi - "Beat It," Part 1 |
] |
Things I would rather do than attend the Interrobang?! launch party:
- Get a hundred pap smears
- Eat glass
- Play in rush hour traffic
Not to be too smug (pfft, yeah right), the Scribe launch was fantastic. I didn't die in my heels, and it was standing room only for the readings. Fuck yeah!
(Okay, so I didn't really have that much fun. I find the events so stressful, and I'm usually only happy when they're over.)
Um, the not-so-cool thing is that I canceled my birthday again. My dad's been kind of obnoxious about some stuff, and frankly, I don't want to have Kate and Mollie exposed to his bullshit. And it's one of those things where having it at someone else's house kind of changes too many things. If it's at Kate's house, Jay will be there, and Mollie will want to bring Dylan; if it's at Mollie's, same thing. I'd be the third wheel at my own party.
Don't get me wrong, Jay and Dylan are both really nice, I just don't want them there. And I don't feel like I can say anything, because if this happens, it's happening in someone else's house. It's like I don't have a say.
I dunno. It sucks, but I don't really know what else to do.
Of course, the Mollie/Dylan thing is kind of a surprise. They look good together, though. I don't know him well, but she seems happy, which is the important thing.
It's just...y'know. Third wheel. Fifth, whatever. I've been feeling really insecure in that department, so I'd spend the night feeling like shit anyway.
I feel so bad for canceling. I wish I didn't feel like it was necessary, it's just that my family cannot keep their shit together long enough to be normal. Here's a brief timeline:
Last week - My dad offered to let us use the house. I asked where he and my mom were going to be for the night, and he was like, "NOWHERE! WE AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE! THIS IS MY HOUSE!"
Yeahhh...
And then he announces that he's oh-so-excited to meet my little friends. Comment ignored.
Today - He says that he's so sorry if I think he's been kind of a jerk (duh!), and he also thinks I'm being stupid for not wanting to have my friends over.
Even if my dad decided to behave, and we did end up staying here, it wouldn't be fun. I'd spend the whole time worrying that he's going to fuck up, and they'll be uncomfortable knowing they're in someone's parents' house.
And that's all the news that's fit to print

I've now got 'tante Marie' (my mother's aunt) with her husband in a nice frame, and I'd like great uncle Prosper to join them, but he's disappeared!
Long story short, I've got a few old family photographs that don't fit in your regular-sized modern frames. I'm extremely anal about cutting the originals to size as well. I finally found a frame during a sale (and stupidly enough, only bought one, shame on me) and it's a perfect fit. But I've lost Prosper Orban's pic. :(
( picture behind the cut )
My grandfather took that picture of him. ANYWAY ... My room is a black hole. But I learned that my grandfather had six siblings. Now that finally might explain my fascination with creating large families in my games, wouldn't it? (Mom originally had err ... five siblings.) And I have a Victor in the family, as well as a Louis. No Lucien. I really will have to call my kid that.
But! Mom had an auntie Lucille. She looked like a blond version of Clara Bow. It's awesome. But hm, I think the Orbans have very strong genes as well. I swear I see myself in Prosper. I could show my dad a picture of my sister or myself as a toddler, and he'll mistake us for Tristan.
Rambling because I really have nothing better to do and I can't fall asleep, despite only getting like, five hours of sleep last night.

Question! Because my mom had me thinking about it today, and I'm curious. What is your favorite Christmas (or Winter/holiday!) song? And is there any particular reason why it's your favorite?
Personally, I have to admit that mine is probably Fairytale of New York by The Pogues. I think for me it's because when I was in London two years ago, it was literally the week before Christmas and I heard that song on the radio all the time and it just reminds me of the holidays in Europe- it was a lot of fun for me and I just love all of the Christmas fairs and the holiday spirit and all of that- I wish we had more of that sort of thing down here (or at least near my house!).

Not too shabby! Today I've made steak and potatoes and corn for lunch and it turned out pretty delicious! I made up a garlic marinade using a little lemon juice and some of the Salt Grass steakhouse seasoning- it's a nice different flavor from the steaks we've had in a while.
Everything else has been okay. Yesterday was kinda strange, but ended on a pretty good note. And I had a chocolate banana milkshake with Bailey's and it was sooooooo good. I might make me another one tonight. Thanksgiving is coming up- I only have class on Monday and on Tuesday I'll make my signature pecan pie (my family claims it's the best they've ever had but idk. But hey- if they like it, then awesome!) and Wednesday I have a dentist appointment. Whoop de doo!
And yes! I'm going to finish my lunch and then study for tomorrow's Italian test. :)

I am a little slammed with end of term papers and projects at the moment. I am reading you all and will get with the comments and things soon.
But...
I'm gonna have to really enforce a week off the journaling services. I have to use what I have of my "holiday break" for getting a foothold before some of this stuff eats me alive. All days will be study days, with the exception of Thursday in which I stuff myself with free turkey and other om nom noms at mom's house.
I hope you all have a good week. Keep up the good journaling. I will need some non-textbook reading for when I come back! ^_^ v

-----Email Message-----
Subject: thank you
Frank,
This past Friday night I found myself in a black hole of depression and I didn't know how I was going to make it through the night. Not knowing where to turn and feeling like I couldn't stop. I remembered seeing the Hopeline phone number in the front of your book. I talked with someone there for 2 and a half hours and I truly feel that they saved my life.
Thank you for the book, thank Hopeline for being there, and thank the people that send in their postcards so that others know they are not alone with their secrets.

i am ridiculously out of energy. probably need to get my blood tested but i kind of hope it's just something stupid like sinuses. anyway. FATIGUE IS RIDICULOUS. (so is being so tired that spelling is difficult, wot)
but having my laptop back is not ludicrous. also not ludicrous is having all of my data saved since they just replaced the motherboard instead of the harddrive.
stable internet, i c u. and i owe a plethora of tags but, gasp, it must wait until morning ...

Phoenix's Universal Laws of Computing:
1) Your computer is stupid, but completely obedient. It will do exactly what you tell it to do, whether or not that's what you actually want or, indeed, what you thought you were doing.
2) Your computer is out to get you. It hates your guts and wants you dead. You cannot let down your guard even for a moment. Save early, save often, and back up everything regularly.
3) Your computer can tell if you're afraid. It will do everything in its power to keep you that way. You have to show it who's boss, and that had better be you.

| Wicca: still not a race. |
[November 21 2009] |
In today's "Activism: Ur Doin It Wrong" department, we have accusations that slurs against pagan rituals are racist. Set aside, for the moment, that said slurs don't actually exist. That... give some insight into the mind of the commenter, but isn't, in fact, relevant.
What's relevant is that she thinks Wicca's being insulted, and she's "calling" the supposed insulter on her "racism." (In a community about public transportation. So, um, more than rather severely off-topic all around.)
I don't have an icon that's halfway between "facepalm" and "headdesk." (And I don't want one; that would mean I expect to find *more* stuff like this to post about. Which I'd really rather not.)
Oh, and the comment threads hit Godwin's law, ablism, classism and childfreekiness. And NEVAR AGAIN TEH BURNING TIEMS! A glory of fucktupitude all around.
(I got this from ![[info - livejournal.com]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) dot_pagan_snark, and it's been on stupid_free, so apologies to people who already know about it. Sharin' the pain, folks; sharin' the pain.)
