October 21st, 2008 in AGGRESSIVE eye rolling makes me mad, AHHHHHHHHHHH!, and now you might know everything, anger and I have sat down for tea, because "guilt" is a dirty word, brookem is awesome!, confession of the day, disappointment, i complain because I care, i might be addicted to tags, I've fallen into a funk and I can't get up, stuff like this makes me want to quit, wedding season is kicking my ass, what the hell Confession: I haven’t really liked myself lately.
This has nothing to do with my hair not cooperating or the fact that my favorite fall clothes are not fitting the way I like. It’s more than that. It’s less than that. I haven’t liked my attitude lately. And by that I mean, if I could figure out a painless way to curb stomp some sense into me, I would.
I’ve been sleeping well. I’ve been visiting friends. I’ve been working regularly. I’ve been running and reading and writing in my journal. I’ve been taking my vitamins, deep conditioning my hair, remembering …READ MORE
October 7th, 2008 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, 98% of me thinks this is funny, beauty can get ugly, oh dear, pretty hair makes me happier, something I won't forget, the one that nobody reads because of the title, these are the things that happen to me, Uncategorized, what do you say when you aren't sorry?, what the hell, women You remember Mallard don’t you? If you don’t want to read the Mallard chronicles (and I don’t blame you if you don’t, that title ‘Mallard chronicles’ doesn’t scream “MUST READ”), basically Mallard was this stranger who was working at the same school as me (who was wearing a mallard on her shirt, hence the nickname) who randomly came up to me and told me she didn’t like my hair. AT ALL. (The “at all” was actually something she said). She looked at me like I had just showered in the liquid found at the bottom of a dumpster. And then …READ MORE
September 30th, 2008 in advice, AHHHHHHHHHHH!, blogs, i am slowly going crazy, i hate it when i blog about blogging, i love fragment sentences, it happened this week, school, sometimes i get violent, these are the things that happen to me, this tag is for you Arm!, today i am not funny, what the hell, work, youth If you are someone who wants a lot of traffic on your blog, I will give you a tip: wait until tomorrow night and then write a post titled “Vice Presidential Drinking Games”. I guarantee your traffic numbers will explode- mine did.
The funny thing (and by ‘funny’, I mean ‘distressing enough I wished I had an unhealthy addiction to take the pain away’) about suddenly finding your blog getting thousands of hits a day is that it just increases the amount of people who will find your post and NOT like it. Who will hate what you’ve said, who …READ MORE
September 23rd, 2008 in AGGRESSIVE eye rolling makes me mad, anger and I have sat down for tea, find the great TWSS line!, i complain because I care, it happened this week, it's ironic because I'm Canadian, lists, oh look! i have opinions., politics, proof i attract crazy, seriously, stuff like this makes me want to quit, the one that nobody reads because of the title, what the hell, when I look like a tramp, who needs a self help book?, work, youth You know when bloggers write out a list of things they are currently disliking or things that are pissing them off? I love those posts. If I see a blogger has written one, I save it till last in my google reader. I like that they give everyone an opportunity to see a blogger in a different light. I like that they are usually completely unapologetic. I love that they are always so honest.
I’ve never done one before, mostly because my list of what I’m usually hating goes something … 1.Sarah Palin when she’s being smug 2. cream cheese …READ MORE
August 27th, 2008 in AGGRESSIVE eye rolling makes me mad, family, MY BIRTHDAY, oh look! i have opinions., proof i attract crazy, question of the day, seriously, sometimes i get violent, these are the things that happen to me, what the hell, when i ask you to do things for me I was going to let this slide, but I think you all are the perfect people to discuss this with.
Last week my birthday dinner was horrible. I went out for my party on Saturday, but on the Friday- my mom, brother and I went out for dinner. Here is what happened:
Our server rolled her eyes when we asked for menus. Because clearly, I should have the mind powers that let me visualize everything on the menu. Oh, and given her impatience with the few minutes it took us to think about what we want, I apparently should also …READ MORE
August 13th, 2008 in and now you might know everything, anger and I have sat down for tea, confession of the day, don't hate me for this, i am slowly going crazy, i can't believe i said that, it happened this week, it's ironic because I'm Canadian, oh dear, oh look! i have opinions., politics, proof i attract crazy, sometimes i get violent, this makes me sound dumber than i am, today i am not funny, what the hell, when i say it anyway, when it doesn't go my way, who needs a self help book?, you're skimming this one Today I yelled at an elderly saleswoman who looked as though if she could have clubbed me and hidden the body, she would have.
It started out simply enough. I wanted to return a book. Two days ago, my brother bought me “Obama Nation” by Jerome Corsi. I hadn’t really heard anything about it, but did a little research and found that he’s the same author who started the “swiftboat” movement against John Kerry. I also found that the book is filled with half truths and misrepresentations- including the idea that Obama might be doing cocaine as a senator, when …READ MORE
August 11th, 2008 in disappointment, i can't believe i said that, i complain because I care, i might be addicted to tags, it happened this week, proof i attract crazy, seriously, travel, what the hell, when i say it anyway, who needs a self help book?, women I hate to say this, but I’m afraid sometimes my gender is insane.
During my 7 day trip, I did not meet a single friendly female. NONE. I met many nice men, but not a single nice woman. The girls I did meet-all fell into distinct and unfortunate categories.
I met the insecure, mean girls. The girls who spent 5 minutes at the bar with us smiling and then walked away to talk about my friend and I to other people- other insecure, mean girls. They only stopped talking about us when I walked over to them and was greeted …READ MORE
July 29th, 2008 in AHHHHHHHHHHH!, are you there God? It's me- ripping off Judy Blume, disappointment, i like scotch & table dancing, is it weird this makes me cry?, it's okay- you can skim this one, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, men, oh dear, shoes, the george, what the hell I’m going all cliche blogger on you and doing bullets.
(What a great way to start! I’m sure you all are hanging off the edge of your chair now that you know this post is in bullet form. I think I might even hear cheering from the cheap seats!)
I hate men. No, that’s not true. My lovelies (George, Josh and John- men who my heart calls only by their first name) shouldn’t be lumped in with the scoundrels that repeatedly stomp on my heart. Or at least.. other vital organs that are less cliche. Perhaps my liver? Anyway… men. …READ MORE
June 23rd, 2008 in anger and I have sat down for tea, because I can't do report cards 24/7, blogs, disappointment, find the dorkiest sentence in this, friends, i may write about the west wing forever, i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, it happened this week, Josh Lyman needs his own tag, oh look! i have opinions., sometimes i get violent, teaching, the J.O.B., today i am not funny, what the hell, who needs a self help book? I suppose tomorrow would be a better day to write this. Or the day after that. But my tomorrows are always busy with the things I’m meant to do, so if I intend to do this, to say this- I need to say it today.
I don’t deal well with judgment. Not even the thoughtfully worded sort, often laced together with constructive criticism and punctuated with sweet smiles. I don’t deal well with people telling me “you should” or “you could“, or “why don’t you just…“.
I’ve long ago accepted that my inability to accept the opinions of others with …READ MORE
We had a spelling contest last week in my class and when the winner was picked, the runner up gave the boy who won a high five and yelled out a big, sincere “way to go!”.
Hillary Clinton could learn things from my class.
And that’s the nicest thing I have to say about it.
(And if this post wasn’t enough of a confirmation, let me assure you- the CNN addiction is back in full swing. Wolf Blitzer, will you be my boo?)
