Saturday 8
sat-8 :: spring fever
1. have you gone on spring break before? if so, where, and if not, why?
Of course I have! I've been lots of places like Florida and California.
2. do you take a spring vacation?
I try to, but I'm not sure if I will or not this year.
3. if you had (or have) a spring vacation, what would be your first choice to do? skiing in vermont? a week in the keys?
I'll pass on the skiing- I'm trying to get away from the cold. I'd take a week in Key West though.
4. in your home/apartment, do you do spring cleaning?
I clean all of the time, but spring is a great time to do stuff outside and an excuse for deep cleaning.
5. in your area, what is your weather generally like in mid-march?
It's Indiana, so it could be anything- snow or 60 degrees. Or it may be some of both within a day or so.
6. spring is my favourite season ... do you share my sentiment, prefer another season?
I like summer better, but spring is great.
7. do you do anything differently in spring than you do any other time of the year? (plant flowers/garden, take off the snow tires, etc.)
I like to plant some flowers and such in my yard.
8. what are your plans for this weekend?
I had errands to do today, house cleaning tomorrow and I need to do my taxes! I did go get my birthday tattoo today, so I managed to squeeze in some fun.
QOTD
Do you?
Do you have any desire to climb a mountain? What about Mount Everest? Would you ever attempt to climb Mount Everest?
I've done plenty of rock climbing and trail hiking but I wouldn't want to do Everest. First and foremost, I hate cold!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enjoyable chore
What is something that you enjoy that is a chore for most people?
I like to vacuum. When I had carpet, I loved to see the nice lines in the carpet. Now that I have hardwood floors, I still enjoy sweeping, but I miss seeing the lines!
Bush On Brokeback
Just thought I would share. This man can come up with an idiotic response to just about anything, and this proves it.
Oscars
Frankly my dear, I just don't give a damn.
I love movies, I do. But if they win an Oscar or not, it means not a damn thing to me. I'm not going to waste my time sitting and watching a bunch of stars blab on for hours tomorrow. I'm just not gay enough to have an Oscar party. I know that everyone has masculine and feminine sides. I like to say that my masculine side just happens to be a gay man! But I draw the line at throwing an Oscar party. I know people who do. I've been invited to some. I'm not going, because I just don't care.
These Dreams
I've had a week of extremely vivid dreams. I used to walk and talk in my sleep but I don't do much of either anymore. (Thank Goodness!) It's funny, because everyone I work with has had vivid dreams this week too. (No, we haven't been hitting the laughing gas.)Two of them had dreams about me. My 100-foot-lesbian co-worker dreamed that we were at the nursing home visiting my grandmother. My grandmother died many years ago, but my friend wouldn't have known that. The funny thing is, just that morning on the way to work and school I was telling my son about this friend's mother having dementia and living for years in a nursing home. Synchronicity!
My boss had a dream that I drank 5 glasses of wine at lunch. A work lunch. 5 glasses of wine in one hour would do me in. She doesn't drink, she I guess she can't gage what 5 glasses would do to a person. Even a person like me who has a glass with dinner most nights. I'd have to be slamming them down like shots to get 5 in that quickly.
I'm not going to write about my vivid dreams. I might use some of them in a story instead.
It's Just Not Right
There should be some sort of warning on television before they just throw in a clown. I'm watching the news this morning, and boom, there's a clown. The news, for goodness sake! Why would you put a clown, live in studio, on the news?
I need another cup of coffee now. Maybe a coffee with a shot in it!
I found this article on Yahoo:
It's strange how clowns send so many folks running for the exits. Actually, maybe not. Anyone who's read "It" by Stephen King or stumbled across a picture of serial killer John Wayne Gacy in floppy shoes is understandably a bit on-edge at the circus (or the rodeo, for that matter).
The official term for this irrational aversion to red-nosed entertainers is coulrophobia. While many are merely creeped out by clowns, the fear runs much deeper for others, affecting their daily lives.
Several theories attempt to explain the origins of the phobia, though none seem definitive. One of the more interesting comes from Kathryn Cillick. She believes most people are afraid of clowns because it's impossible to gauge a clown's true emotions. Thanks to painted-on smiles, people can't distinguish if the clown is as happy as he seems or if he's actually about to bite somebody's face off.
Several celebrities are decidedly anti-clown. Rapper P. Diddy has a "no clown" clause in his concert contracts. Johnny Depp had nightmares of clowns as a kid. And, of course there's Bart Simpson, whose utterance "Can't sleep, clown will eat me" speaks volumes about his feelings on the subject. Photo Gallery
I just found this wonderful photo gallery named "Ashes and Snow." If you're able to, view the gallery in the Enhanced Mode. It's truly stunning- if you enjoy photography you'll love this.

Question of the Day
The Oscar's
Will you be watching the Academy Awards on Sunday? Do you have any predictions?
Something about watching an awards ceremony bugs the crap out of me. I find it dull and boring. So, the obvious answer would be no, I'm not watching it. I just don't care about stars and what they wear and what they say. I'm not star-struck...
I do enjoy movies and have seen the following Oscar nominated films:
Capote
Brokeback Mountain
Transamerica
Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-rabbit
Memoirs of a Geisha
The Chronicles of Narnia
Friday Fun
1. What would make your Friday fantastic?
Nothing that I can write here!
2. Do you have a little ritual that makes you feel fantastic for the day?
Yes, it's called caffeine in the am and a glass of vino in the pm.
3. What would you do to make somebody else’s Friday fantastic,… and why?
Better question is, what wouldn't I do? Just kidding! I enjoy seeing the people around me happy.Four For Friday
Q1 - Pay E-mail: Starting in April, AOL will charge companies about 1/4 of a cent to send e-mail messages to its users that will bypass the company's filters. E-mails from paying companies will go straight to a user's inbox, while e-mails from non-paying companies will go through a gauntlet of filters that could divert them to a junk-mail folder or strip them of images and links, even if they're not spam. How do you feel about this? Should companies like AOL be able to put policies like these into place because they protect its customers, or pay E-mail a bad idea because it doesn't account for bulk messages sent by not-for-profits or other legitimate groups who cannot afford to pay the price to bypass the system?
AOL is a boil on the buttocks of humanity! This is just another example of how AOL is out to make money and not serve their customers.
Q2 - Weather: Do you check your weather report on a daily basis? Regardless of how often you check, where do you go for information about the weather... Newspaper, television, radio, or do you receive your weather reports via the Internet?
Typically I hear the weather report on the morning news. Depending on what is going on, I might check it on the Internet.
Q3 - Sold: What's the last thing you sold (both personally and professionally)?
Personally, the last thing I've sold was my last house. Professionally, I think I sell a bit of my soul each day!
Q4 - Footwear: How many different pairs of shoes do you own verses how many you actually wear on a regular basis?
I'm not going to go into my closet and count but I'm sure it's dozens and dozens that I own. I've been weeding them out so I have a lot less than I used to. I have summer shoes and winter shoes. I have work shoes and personal-time shoes. So depending on the season and occasion, I wear different shoes.
Friday's Feast
Appetizer
How many pillows and blankets do you sleep with?
Currently I have 4 pillows and 4 blankets on my bed. Plus my “woobie” that I end up using as a pillow, which would explain why it is as flat as a pancake after all of these years.
Woobie circa 1980Soup What are you currently "addicted" to? Caffeine, finding the perfect wine and other hedonistic pursuits. Salad If you could make a small change to your current routine or schedule that would make you just a little bit happier, what would it be? I miss my quiet time alone at home in the morning. I’d use that time to drink my coffee, read and maybe write a bit. Main Course Which adjective do you find yourself using often? Fine. I’m part of the “fine” family- everything’s fine! I’m trying to curb myself of that habit. Dessert Have you ever picked up a hitchhiker? No, I haven’t. I don’t think I would.
It's not easy being green...
Right now, every where I turn I have sick people breathing on me. I don’t want whatever they’ve got. Germs are something that I pick up very easily, which is funny because I’m near fanatical about cleaning things. Anyhow, I have to do what I can to avoid getting ill (again!) That involves drinking green tea, taking “Airborne” and drinking a wheat grass shot. The first two, no problem. If you’ve ever had a wheat grass shot, you know it’s an acquired taste. I’m still waiting for the acquiring to happen! I liken it to licking clean the blade of my John Deere lawn tractor after I’ve mowed my entire half acre yard. Mmm, yummy! It’s not so much the taste, but the after-taste that gets me. It’s like the gift that keeps giving and giving as the taste keeps re-visiting me for the rest of the day.
Friday Forum
1. Are you for or against homeschooling?
Hey, to each his own- whatever works for each individual family. It's none of my business what other people choose to do. I know it wouldn't work for me and my child.
2. Do you there are more benefits from homeschooling or public/private schools? Why?
I'm sure there could be pros and cons for either one. I know that I'm not equipped to give my son a well-rounded education. My strengths are in language arts, history, social studies, and foreign language. I'm not so terrific in things like organic chemistry or Calculus. My son attends private school which for me, has a good mix of values, education and socialization. I would be worried that if he were to be homeschooled he would be some social outcast. I've never quite grasped how homeschooled kids are socialized properly. I'm not saying it isn't possible. I suppose that is something that I need to have explained to me by someone who knows.
3. Would you homeschool your children?
No way, it would never work. He is dyslexic and I'm not trained to work with that. He's also very highly intelligent and it would be a challenge to keep him on track.
4. Do you think it's better for children to adhere to a fixed curriculum or let them follow their own interests (unschooling)? Why?
If I let my son choose his interests we'd be studying computers and video games!
5. Homeschooling has increased rapidly in the past few years. Do you think it'll continue to be popular or is it just the current fad?
It's been around for a long time, so I feel the trend will continue to grow as many U.S. schools are becoming worse and worse.
Friday Fiver
public square questionnaire
1. What color is your hair?
Blonde
2. When is the last time you accepted a dare?
Unfortunately for me, I tend to accept just about any dare that's thrown down in front of me. It's almost like I can't help myself. So last weekend I was dared to eat one of those very hot dried peppers. Of course, I ate it right up. When asked if it was hot, I wouldn't admit to it verbally. I said it was "fine." Unfortunately, my body gave me away when my cheeks turned crimson red as teardrops streamed out of my eyes. My words, my expression can say what I want, but my damn body gives me away every time!
3. Do you think you could have an affair?
Oh boy! This seems to be a popular question to ask. I know the answer is yes, I know it for a fact. Enough said...
4. How often do you feel like walking on air?
As often as possible, or after 3 or 4 glasses of good wine!
5. How about despair?
I'm not much of a despair type, things have to be pretty f**ked up to get me down.What Should Your Major Be?
You scored as English. You should be an English major! Your passion lies in writing and expressing yourself creatively, and you hate it when you are inhibited from doing so. Pursue that interest of yours!

Last Will and Testament
1. Have you written your will?
Yes, I have a basic will in place.
2. Would you prefer to be burried or cremated? Why?
Cremated. I don't want to be enbalmed and I don't want to be burried under the ground. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
3. What do you imagine your funeral to be like?
It's not something I've imagined before. I'd rather it be a party than a sad occurance.
4. What would you like to be remembered for?
Living my life to the fullest and being a positive influence on the life of my child. There's no better and lasting legacy than that.
1. Have you written your will?

Do you believe in reincarnation? I think that it can happen. I don't believe it happens to every soul.

QOTD
No thank you
What one place would you not want to go to on a vacation?
I was just writing about one of my childhood vacation memories to Disney World on July 4, 1976. It was my first time visiting the Magic Kingdom. The last time I went was 2 years ago with my boss and two co-workers for a seminar. We stayed at a Disney hotel as the seminar was held there also. It was 4 days of pure hell. I had to room with all three of them (who snore very, very loudly) and share a tiny bed with a not-so-tiny woman. At least she's a friend of mine.
Anyhow, we decided to go to Disney World one of the days were were there. That morning my bosses husband called her up and tells her he's divorcing her, he's seeing another woman and he is with her now. (Not surprising to me, the bastard stuck his tongue down my throat at his step-daughter's wedding earlier that year.) Have you ever been to Disney World with a recently-dumped, hysterically crying female? Not fun. For any of us. I have such a negative connotation of "It's a Small World" and "Magic Mountain" I never, ever want to go there again. I am fairly certain many small children are now scared for life after seeing her cry in such close proximity to Mickey Mouse.
3x Thursday
3x Thursday: 03/02/y2k+6: Kidhood Memories
Pick any 3 things that you remember from your kidhood (ages 0-18) and describe them. This could be anywhere from people you were around a lot, to a certain family vacation, to a certain moment that you remember. Be creative!
1. July 4, 1976. It was my first trip to Disney World. I remember seeing the fireworks for the bicentennial and taking hours and hours to get out of the parking lot afterwards.
2. My Great-grandfather's 90th birthday party. What left the biggest impression on my was his 3-D birthday cake of woman in a bikini. Who knew you could get a cake with boobs?! (And why didn't I get one for my birthday?) My great-grandmother kept saying to him, "It's a woman, Arthur!"- to which he replied- "I know what it is, I'm not that old!" I can aspire to be so sassy if I live to be 90.
3. The day my baby sister was born. I was nearly 10 years-old at the time. I was (foolishly) excited to finally get a younger sibling. She was the most sour tempered child I've ever seen. That explains a lot now. She's a very unique individual, to say the least.
Bonus Question for Comments: Where did you grow up (location-wise)? Did you like it? Do you still live there? Why/why not? I grew up in the mid-west. I liked it because I didn't know any better at the time. Actually, it wasn't a bad place to grow up. It was flat as can be- you can see for miles and miles (unless the corn gets in your way.) That also means a kid can wander for what seems like an eternity without getting lost, you can see your way back home. This was back in the day where I'd leave home in the morning only to return for food and when it was dark. It was a safe thing to do. Now, I wouldn't dream of letting my son go like that. We have walkie-talkie communication so I know where he is all of the time. I don't live in the same town I grew up in, but I live in the same state (for now.) It's good for my son to be somewhat near his extended family. I don't relish living here- it doesn't truly fit my personality. I'm fighting the urge to get the hell out of here! I could never live in the same town where I grew up. I'm not the same person- it would feel suffocating to me to be there.How Do You Live Your Life Quiz

Today's questions are from Marie. Thank you!
- Do you finish every book you start, no matter how bad it gets? Why? I can only recall 2 books in recent memory that I didn't finish. I'm optimistic and like to think that the book is going to improve as it goes along.
- Do you ever sneak-read the ending before you finish the book? If so, what about the book tends to cause you to do so? No, I don't peek ahead. I wouldn't want to spoil the ending.

What Kind of "Smart" Are You?
| All-Around Smart You are all-around smart. Essentially, that means that you are a good combination of your own knowledge and experience, along with having learned through instruction - and you are equally as good with theoretical things as you are with real-world, applied things. You have a well-rounded brain. 0% applied intelligence 10% learned intelligence | ||||

Personality Defect Test
| Televangelist You are 14% Rational, 71% Extroverted, 42% Brutal, and 57% Arrogant. |
| As the Lord as my witness, I swear upon the good book that you are indeed the TELEVANGELIST! Characterized by extreme arrogance, self-assurance, and extroversion, you would make a very charismatic leader (or a very despotic one). On top of that, you are also more intuitive than rational, predisposing you to a more spiritual or emotional outlook on life. Thus, you are thoroughly irrational. You also tend to be rather gentle and considerate of others' feelings. Clearly, you would make the perfect televangelist. You could easily fleece people of their money and their dignity like so many sheep. Emotional, extroverted, arrogant, and gentle, you annoy the hell out of people who have to listen to the feel-good, intuitive shit spewing from your mouth. Not only that, but people may look down on you as a self-centered asshat. So while you are gentle and genuinely care about others, it is quite clear that you still care about yourself MORE. Why is your personality flawed? Because you are too damned extroverted, emotional, and arrogant. So preach your irrational message, brotha-man! I assure you, no one will be listening. Except for a few bums. But they just want you to feed them crackers and wine.
To put it less negatively: 1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational. 2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted. 3. You are more GENTLE than brutal. 4. You are more ARROGANT than humble.
Compatibility: Your exact opposite is the Spiteful Loner. Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hippie, the Starving Artist, and the Robot. * * If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits. The other personality types: The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble. The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble. The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble. The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble. The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble. The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble. The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant. The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble. The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant. The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble. The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant. |

What if
What if tomorrow, instead of being March 1st, was actually a special type of leap year day. It was one that wouldn't be documented anywhere in time, and you can do whatever you want on this day (anything legal), what would you do?
Oh boy! First and foremost, I would not go to work. I'd want to do a bunch of nothing- hang out and do shots all day! (since we have to keep it legal!)

This Week's Quote
Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.
-- George Carlin
This makes me laugh! Sometimes, you just have to go with option number two. And if option number two happens to be the dishonest option- well- it happens. You can aim for number one, but sometimses number two is what you end up with....
Moral Test
| Anarcho-socialist You placed 28% difference on action versus inaction and 85% importance on consent! |
| Your results indicate that you believe: - Failing to prevent the suffering of another is just as bad (or nearly as bad) as causing it. People have a responsibility to others. - So-called "consensual crimes" are not wrong and should not be treated as such. People have the freedom to deviate from the majority or to make potentially poor decisions. This is a combination of altruism and the freedom for each individual person to make potentially self-harmful or unpopular decisions. These beliefs may conflict to some degree, as people who are obligated to help others who have placed themselves in danger may grow resentful. One ideology which may appeal to you is socialism, perhaps anarcho-socialism. You might be a hippie or a buddhist. |
