| 10/10, again. |
| 09.28.06 (11:23 pm) [edit] |
And now for something completely different! This week's version of 10/10 is brought to you by Dr Crotch. ~*~ 10 things I'm ticked off at: 1. My BRAND FRICKIN' NEW computer is dead at the moment. We all believe there's a startup file corrupted - I doubt I've lost anything but it's exasperating nonetheless. The good news is, however, our PC tech friend gave me back my old PC, which I'm running off of now. It's good to have for backup when problems like this arise! He somehow fixed it - all my old files are even still in it. After he fixed the problem, I guess he didn't really do anything else with it (he's got like 7 PCs anyway). So now that I can get online with the old PC and do a bit of research, I am determined to solve the other PC's problem on my own. I have a possible solution but need to read up a bit more on it. 2. Flyboys wasn't as good as it could've been. I can't say I didn't like it, but I do have many gripes about it. Especially the neverending background music. UGH. 3. If I don't respond to somebody's email for a couple weeks, they think I'm mad at them or something. Yeesh, I've had this happen with like, ten people recently! I had PC problems AND I get so much tonnage of email, if you don't hear from me for a while, please don't get self-concious. You must understand that it's not all about you, LOL. No, I'm not mad at you. No, I haven't died. No, I haven't fallen off of a 3-story balcony and landed in a cactus plant. I've not been run over by a Panzer, either. Trust me on this. I'll do my darnedest to email you back, but give me some time! 4. I really miss Kitten, lately. Dad kept telling me we'd get another cat once things settled down and after we got home from Israel, but still, no cat. Dangit, he PROMISED me. We'll always have an upcoming trip or event or something, you just can't keep using that as an excuse to wait longer. Lemme guess, next time I remind him, he'll probably tell me, "Just wait until after Christmas!". Next time he says something like that, I'm really gonna get upset. 5. You just can't fix stupid. 6. Hmm. I'm actually not really mad about all that much at the moment (except for the above), so I'm actually racking my brain to come up with things I'm annoyed at, LOL. 7. Oh, here's one. Dad and Darrell. All they talk about is WOMEN. Women this, women that. I'm so sick and tired of their sexist remarks, saying how crazy all women are, etc etc. You know how it goes. I once said to Dad, "All you talk about is women!" and he countered with, "Well all you and your friends talk about is men!". NOT. TRUE. We talk about PLENTY of other stuff, and we never put all men down as a whole. Every single person is different, you can't say all women are annoying, or all men are stupid. You just can't. Dad said something last night that really burned me. There's a pretty French girl in Flyboys who hardly knew any English, and he said, "That'd be kind of nice! She'd just have to sit there and look pretty and wouldn't talk back to you!". *siiiiiiigh*. I know he'd just say he was kidding, but you know what? DON'T kid like that. I'm sick of hearing it. I'm especially disappointed in him saying something like that after the marriage he had with Mom. He always bragged about how great Mom was and how they got along so well and it was such a perfect marriage. And it really was. I guess I just never thought I'd be hearing sexist crap like this from my own father. 8. The more I read about the history of the Indians, the madder I get at the Wasitchu. We came in here and stole their land, then we got mad at the "savages" living in "our" land. What the heck? The whites just marched in here and claimed it as their own, labeling the red man animals, stealing their land and murdering them, yet they claimed to be Christians? People just do not realize all the hell the Indians went through. They make Custer out to be a hero in the history books, but they fail to mention all the villages he and his men massacred before Little Big Horn. Women, children, elders - they said no prisoners would be taken, kill them all. And they did, but the school books never mention that part of the history, do they. They'll mention a little paragraph about the Trail Of Tears, but that's about it. Custer got a taste of his own medicine, if you ask me. He was a ruthless bastard and had it coming to him. I've heard quite a few people say, "Well, the Indians are getting a lot of money from the government now!". But that don't enter into it. It doesn't right the wrongs that were done, and it doesn't bring back my dead kin. I'm always told that, since I have Cherokee in me, I should apply for benefits. But, I'd just feel bad to do that. It wouldn't feel right to profit off of all the death and hardships my ancestors went through, you know? I'd better stop now before this turns into ten pages. It's just something I've always felt strongly about and always taps into the bitter side of me! 9. I recently heard that Jessica Simpson is making a resturaunt chain called "Daisy Duke's". You know.. that just makes me sick. I hated that new Dukes Of Hazzard movie (I might've liked it if it were called something other than Dukes, huh? it was just desecration! The TV show was NOTHING like that, and they didn't even want the original cast involved), and for that blonde bimbo to profit off of Daisy is just wrong! She has absolutely nuthin' on Catherine Bach. The original Daisy was a real woman, with a real figure, and she NEVER acted like a trampy slut, as Simpson protrayed her to be. Jessica Simpson looks like a man to me. She's number two on my list of Despised Annoying Blonde Slutty Hollywood Actresses... number one being Paris Hilton, of course!! 10. My whoopie cushion broke!! I was very depressed about that :o( I hadn't used it for a while, and the mouthpiece got all hard and stiff. I found it the other day when I was cleaning my room, and the moment I touched it, the mouthpiece cracked and fell apart into a billion little pieces. I was very upset by the entire occurance. I told Paddy we'd need to get a replacement as soon as possible, and that maybe we could upgrade to a self-inflating one!! 10 things I'm stoked about: 1. I got my old PC back. But, you already knew that, so we'll move on to number two. 2. I finally dusted half of my room the other day!!! It reeeeeeally needed it. (This was when I found the demised whoopie cushion. Allow me to have a moment of silence to remember it.).................................... Anyway. Yeah, I cleaned the entire north wall, dusted all the stuff on the shelves, cleaned all the piggy banks, rearranged my desk, and even threw some stuff away. Not much, but I did get rid of three soda bottle cartons of Crush that I'd had for YEARS. (If you saw my room you'd understand why they were there in the first place, LOL. My room is oldfashioned and I have old bottles and other stuff lining the shelves, kinda looking like an old country store). The soda cartons were near the door, placed around one of my speakers. With them gone, it really opens up the doorway area quite a bit and looks less cluttered! I did keep one of each of the bottles though.. 3. When I was without PC, I watched the entire Into the West series again. I just love it, it was even better this time around! I was also craving to hear three certain songs that I'd only had in the PC, but now... I've got 'em again. MWUAHAHAA. They were Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water", Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir", and Guess Who's "American Woman". 4. Heh, it was Prancing Paddy's 53rd birthday last weekend, and we went to Dave & Buster's with Darrell, Charlie, Brendan, and Randy. We had a great time, but there were two highlights of the evening. One, we were playing pool and I was sitting on another pool table watching, when Charlie sits next to me and says in this flirtatious voice, "Sooo. What do you do besides look good?" OMG. The way he said it... I was laughing so hard I almost wet my pants. It was just so...unexpected. The other highlight, Dad and Charlie were playing against Darrell and Brendan. I sat that one out and was egging Charlie and Dad on, when Dad made a good shot. I was like, "YEEEE-AHHH!!! WHO'S YOUR DADDY?!?!?!!!!!" and...everybody looked at me incredulously, then Dad started CRACKING up and was like, "....what??". .....I suppose you had to have been there. 5. I've finally mastered the cooking of sweet potatoes. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! I can now attempt to make sweet potater casserole for the holidays. I can't wait to try out my aunt's recipe!! I seem to have been cooking more often, as of late. I made some kick*ss scrambled eggs, too! 6. I GOT SPURS! 7. V05 is awesome. I'd been using Head & Shoulders or Selsun Blue, but it would make me hair really stinky after sleeping on it for one night. It also got shiny looking and visibly greasy by the second day. It took me a while to realize that it was probably from using 2in1 every day (I'd never had this problem with the old Head & Shoulders, so I didn't think it was the shampoo at first). I've lately been using either V05 (the purple freesia-scented one) or Walgreens' baby shampoo. My hair's been soft, less puffy, unstinky, and non-greasy ever since I switched, so I'm really happy about that. It dries nicer, too! 8. I talked to A.E. AND Nat last week!! I hadn't spoken to either of 'em on the phone for quite a while, so that was a huge pick-me-up! I really missed them all after being offline for so long. 9. I'm not only menstrually connected, but gastronomically connected to all of my friends. Amen. (don't ask). 10. Water ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuules. I feel cleansed!! ~*~ I threw in that last one because I couldn't think of anything else. And I've been guzzling water all the live-long day for some reason. Ya ever just crave the stuff? I think my brain is fried from eating too many strawberries and too much cheese... dunno if it's possible but it's the only explanation I can up with. And that concludes this disturbing message! |

It's the first Mallonian law - you can't fix stupid. You can teach stupid, you can show stupid, you can help stupid, but fix it. Heck, no!

I think you ought to call your dad on it. The next time he says that all women are crazy, "Was mom crazy?" That'll stop that RIGHT quick!
Oh, and ::fart::

The world should live by Bill Engvall's theory. Stupid people should all just have to wear SIGNS that say, "I'm stupid". Then you'd be like, "Excuse me, could you tell me where I cou-- oh. Sorry. I didn't see your sign!"

It just ain't LIKE him to say stuff like that, so I think it's because Darrell's there. But next time, that's exactly what I'm gonna do!
