Stupid people amuse me.
Dear Liscence Plate #BUYT ME

Just because your plate tells us you're an asshole does not give you permission to take up four parking spaces in front of Vons while you eat Subway in your gas guzzling status symbol of an SUV. Oh, and eating Subway won't help you lose that fat ass if you put so much mayo on it that I can see it dripping from 10 feet away. Go die please.

Kthxbai,

The World.

My top 10
Lucy did this one not too long ago and since I'm always looking for something to post, I thought I would steal it.

These are my top 10 celebrity crushes, in no particular order:

I was in love with Johnny WAY before Pirates, so kiss my ass on the trendy thing. You can make fun of me for being trendy with the next one.


Brad Pitt is HOT. I mean fucking hot. I think anyone who says they don't like him is just saying it because they don't want to be trendy. Plus I love boys in dresses.


Julian McMahon could cut me up any day.


Anthony Kiedis is my god.


His choice in women is questionable, but David Beckham has got it going on.


Mark Wahlberg. I consider it a turning point in my development from girl to woman when I moved away from NKOTB and realized that Donnie's brother is WAY hotter than he is.


Heath Ledger. So sad. I still watch Knights Tale about once a month.


Billie Joe Armstrong. Oooooh yeah.


Anyone who thought that girly little Orlando Bloom was hot next to Viggo Mortensen is a closet lesbian.


I have naughty dreams about LL Cool J.

Back to school



I can't be away this long without some good ol' Phoenix spam, can I? He turned 2 months old on Friday, and I just can't get over how fast he's growing. It's freaking insane.

I started work again last week, but it was all training. This week (well, today) the kids go back to school. My boss moved me from middle school to kindergarten, so I'm all kinds of nervous. I could totally spend my work day playing with 5 year olds, that's no problem. But I have to make lesson plans and have activities that are standards based and shit. I have to look at the pacing calendar to find out what they're learning that week, and then plan my day around reinforcing what they do in the classroom. Every activity I plan has to reference back to state standards. I have to handle discipline. I have to keep them all happy and engaged. It's hard. Kindergarten teachers are rock stars, I'm telling you.

Lulabelle started high school this morning. She should be in first period right now. She was REALLY nervous this morning, but I know she'll have fun. I just told her high school is like middle school, but the cafeteria is better, the rules are less strict, and you can wear flip flops. I hope she has a good day.

Answers to the music meme
Shit, I totally forgot about this. Anyway, here are the answers to my music meme. I know you've been on the edge of your seat.

Are you quite proud of this make-believe
The come down, that hangs around everything
You can admire in that girl

When you dressed up sharp and you looked alright
It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life, I thought I was divine

I began to lose control,

I can withhold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby and you've never met anyone
Who is as negative as I am sometimes

Alanis Morrisette: Everything


8. Well, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I got to say can't wait I know you'd understand
Ev'ry time I tried to tell you the words just came out wrong

Jim Croche: I'll Have To Say I Love You In a Song


9. 2:45 and the bell went off, thank God
Many people think I'm odd
But I talk with no one and I walk alone
And I avoid sunlight with a chalky tone

Love is all around me
Angel, hold on to me

Or why los angeles dont drop into the ocean
I cant unfold the layers of mystery
Or piece together the tragedy of history

Because the wind is high it blows my mind

Hey I’m your life

Don't know what I'm after

Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came here to you, sweet lady
Answering your mystical call

I'm coming on like a hurricane
My lightning's flashing across the sky

the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air

So where's the other face?

Green Day: FOD


19. (The opening lyrics are the chorus in this, so I skipped ahead to make it harder)
Such a sexy,sexy pretty little thing
Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring
and I ain't gonna lie cause your loving gets me high
So to keep you by my side there's nothing that I won't try

Crazy Train: Butterfly


20. I was lonelier than Kunta Kinte at a Merle Haggard concert
That night I strolled on into Uncle Limpy's Hump Palace lookin' for love.
It had been a while.
In fact, three hundred and sixty-five had come and went since that midnight run haulin' hog to Shakey Town on I-10.

Barenaked Ladies: The Lap Dance is Always Better When the Stripper is Crying

My music meme
So Miss Ann did this thing that she got from Adena who got it from someone else who got it from someone else, etc. Anyway, it's a music meme, and I really suck at these so I thought I would do one of my own so that at least somewhere on the internet there is a list of lyrics that I know.

Of course it's cheating. Duh. I'm also going to skip Wolf's music because this is my blog, not his. Plus I don't want a bunch of Toto and techno crap on my list. (We have very different tastes in music.) Yes, this is probably cheating too, but I'm ok with it. After all, this is supposed to represent music that *I* listen to, right?

Anyway, here are the rules:

1. Put your mp3 player or music player on your computer on random.
2. Post the first four lines from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (Skip repeat artists).
3. Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
4. Don’t fucking cheat, you Google whores!

MY SONGS:

1. Early in the morning risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone

2. What do you think of me?
Are you quite proud of this make-believe
The come down, that hangs around everything
You can admire in that girl

3. What ever happened to Saturday night?
When you dressed up sharp and you looked alright
It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life, I thought I was divine

4. I was dreaming of the past.
And my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control,

5. I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that youve been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand

6. If I was a Rich Girl
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end

7. I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby and you've never met anyone

8. Well, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I got to say can't wait I know you'd understand
Ev'ry time I tried to tell you the words just came out wrong

9. 2:45 and the bell went off, thank God
Many people think I'm odd
But I talk with no one and I walk alone
And I avoid sunlight with a chalky tone

10. I get really sick and tired of boys up in my face
Pick up lines like "What's your sign" won't get you anyplace
When me and all my girls go walking down the street
It seems we can't go anywhere without a car that goes "Beep-beep"

11. I cant explain glacial motion
Or why los angeles dont drop into the ocean
I cant unfold the layers of mystery
Or piece together the tragedy of history

12. Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round...aaaaaahhhhhh
Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high......aaaaaaaahhhh

13. Hey I’m your life
I’m the one who takes you there
Hey I’m your life
I’m the one who cares

14. I don't need no doctor
But I need something to kill the pain
Don't know what I'm after
But the pressure's driving me insane

15. I've had nothing but bad luck

Yawn
I don't read a lot of blogs. There are maybe 10 that I read on a regular basis. I'm sorry to say that I don't even read the blogs of everyone who comments here, and that number isn't high either. This past week or two has shown me why I stick to my little corner of the internet.

The amount of sheer hatred I've seen spewed forth by this new anonymous blog is just amazing. It has really shown the true colors of many bloggers. There are a few who are sick of it all and finally speaking out. There are a few who are pissed off. There are a few who are keeping their mouths shut. There are a few who are screaming out against it. There are even a couple who are making complete asses of themselves and showing the hypocricy that so many of us have seen from them already.

Now, I hate anonymous trolls just as much as the next guy. But a bully is a bully, hiding behind a fake name doesn't really change much. Just because someone uses their real name to bully and belittle people doesn't mean that I respect them more than an anonymous person who does the same. A bad person is a bad person, in other words. (Yes, I'm talking about Adam, if there was any doubt)

Even posting this goes against what I've been trying to do for several months, which is to stay out of the blogging drama. So in case anyone wants to try and bait me into continuing with it, go ahead and try. I have more important things to deal with, like Phoenix's one month doctors appointment today, or laundry, or getting the girls to finally clean their room. Or a fierce itch in the middle of my back. All of those things are infinately more important to me than arguing with anyone online.

If the anonymous blogger (Gina? Is that right) feels like blogging about me, cool. Just in case you need some material, Adam says that I'm trailer trash who is all proud of being a step-mom until the girls get too difficult, and then I pawn them off on their dad. Where that came from, I have no idea, but have at it. In case Adam still reads here, I don't give a flying fuck what you have to say. Anyone who thinks disabled children should be killed at birth is a lower life form who isn't worthy of my time. Yes, I still remember that conversation and no, I will never think more of you than a garden slug because of it.

In other news, anyone who still needs the url for the new blog about Phoenix should leave a comment or email me. If you email me through the blog it might take me a while to get back to you though because I always forget to check that account. I'd imagine I probably have about 397 pages of spam by now.

Seriously
It's really not cool that the oldies station is playing Pink Floyd right now.

Really. Not. Cool.

You know you wanna
I decided to start a Phoenix blog. No, I won't be linking there because I'm giving that address to family and I most definitely do NOT want family at this blog. So, if you want to watch me attempt Mommy Blogging, leave your email address in the comments and I'll send you the link. I'm using real names and pictures in that blog, so please don't even ask if I don't know you. Seriously. I hate being rude but if I don't know you I won't give you the address, and that would be sort of rude.
