My May Perfect Post Awardee

13 things to write about when I can’t think of a thursday thirteen

May 30, 2007

1) I have a real ‘performance anxiety’ when it comes to Thursdays. 2) I mean, most people who come here, on Thursdays, couldn’t really give two hoots what I get up to the other six days of the week, so why do I stress? 3) I normally try, really really do try, when it comes [...]

[Source] You must go check these out. They are warped; they are wrong. They are also very, very funny… (…if you don’t offend too easily…) Note: this, and the others, are photoshopped. They are not real.

Convalescing

May 28, 2007

Since I’ve been sick and have had to take to my bed for the past few days, I’ve come to discover something about myself: that is, though I am ill, even during that time, I am pretty much the same control freak as I ever am. That said, I kind of have to be. Otherwise, [...]

May 25, 2007

(I wrote this last night and decided to ‘save’ it until this morning, because I have a ‘thing’ about posting everyday, and so I’m all for hogging one until the clock ticks over midnight because, well, I am strange.) It’s usually pretty boring when you’re subjected to a tirade of other people’s illnesses and symptoms [...]

TV thoughts

May 25, 2007

I know I said I wasn’t going to be here today, but I’ve heard a lot these past few days about the massive spat that happened on The View a few days ago, and now I’ve just seen (here) the clips why. Agree or disagree with what’s said there, my interest is that I’ve yet [...]

This is my post for tomorrow…today. Comprehende?

May 23, 2007

Dewey tagged me for this meme: Here are the rules according to whomever likes to make up rules: • Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. • People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. • At the end of your blog, you [...]
