| Set to private |
[28 Jul 2009|10:43am] |
So, I'm setting my journal to private to keep the crazy-drama-whoring-psychos away.
Sorry, Prr.
I just think it's funny that at one point I absolutely flat out told every single person that I was just sick of hearing about 'so and so'. I refused to listen to anymore whining/bitching/complaining about her. Literally. When the first thing I heard was 'So did you hear about what she did now?' my reaction was 'I told him I refuse to listen to it anymore. I'm tired of it, and I'm sorry but I don't want to hear about her from anyone else. Ever.' Why? Because I knew way too much about Her life, and Their life together, and all the horrible things she did. I never Wanted this information. I never Asked for it- but it was ALL I ever heard about.
When she was told about my personal life I was angry. Because what was going on in MY life was none of HER business. Especially not the very PRIVATE matter of mourning over the death of a family member. ( By the way, I was called nosy. Again, I never asked for the information. Just as I'm sure she never asked for information on me. Some people just blab, blab, blab about crap that they really should not talk about. Some people just lack the social skills to know what is acceptable and what is not. )
Yet, evidently, all I did was complain about her. Ever. I guess that was the ONLY thing I was ever capable of talking about.
Funny how the tables turn like that. You say quite simply that you refuse to listen to it anymore. You think it's time everyone just got over it and moved on, and then when you remove yourself from that circle you're the one they all decide to bitch about. So I guess I'm a popular topic of discussion!
Seeing as you're curious, though, I'm at a spectacular point in my life. I'm doing something I absolutely love. I'm bettering myself in many, many ways. (Including epicly loosing weight, 17 lbs in 3 weeks, woot!) I'm with someone who's ambitious, talented, intelligent, funny, and has an actual direction in life. I am happy in ways I never thought were even possible.
Move on people, please. I don't want any part of your lives what so ever. Stop stalking the websites I'm on. Stop leaving anonymous posts. Just get on with your lives... and I'll go on living mine, being the evidently horrible person that I am, hopefully with less psycho-bitchy-drama-whoring-stalkers.

| Expensive Cookies! |
[07 May 2008|09:09pm] |
So, my Grandpa forwarded me this message... and though I've sent it to everyone I thought might be entertained by it, I figured I might as well post it here just to make SURE it gets around.
----- Original Message ----- Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 5:30 PM Subject: Fw: MOST EXPENSIVE COOKIE
Subject: Fwd: MOST EXPENSIVE COOKIE
Let's let them have it! THIS IS A TRUE STORY!
My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a Neiman-Marcus Cafe
in Dallas , and we decided to have a small dessert. Because both of
us are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus
cookie."
It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe,
and the waitress said with a small frown, "I'm afraid not, but you
can buy the recipe."
Well, I asked how much, and she responded, "Only two fifty. It's a
great deal!" I agreed to that, and told her to just add it to my tab.
Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement, and the Neiman-
Marcus charge was $285.00! I looked again, and I remembered I had
only spent $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I
glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, "Cookie Recipe-
$250.00". That was outrageous!
I called Neiman's Accounting Department and told them the waitress
said it was "two fifty", which clearly does not mean "two hundred
and fifty dollars" by any reasonable interpretation of the phrase.
Neiman-Marcus refused to budge.
They would not refund my money because, according to them,
"What the waitress told you is not our problem.
You have already seen the recipe. We absolutely will not refund your
money at this point." I explained to the Accounting Department lady
the criminal statutes which govern fraud in the state of Texas . I
threatened to report them to the Better Business Bureau and the
Texas Attorney General's office for engaging in fraud. I was basically told,
"Do what you want.
Don't bother thinking of how you can get even, and don't bother trying
to get any of your money back."
I just said, Okay, you folks got my $250,
and now I'm going to have $250 worth of fun."
I told her that I was going to see to it that every cookie lover in the United
States with an e-mail account has a $250 cookie recipe from
Neiman-Marcus..for free. She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this."
I said, "Well, perhaps you should have thought of that before you
ripped me off!" and slammed down the phone.
So here it is!
Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think
of. I paid $250 for this, and I don't want Neiman-Marcus to EVER
make another penny off of this recipe!

Moroswen of Deviant Art asked me a while back to use a particular piece of my art for a tattoo. She got it done last week.
She decided to not include the little swirlies at the bottom, but I think it looks awesome regardless!

| the intimidation of a bird... |
[25 Nov 2004|01:36pm] |
We were meant to go to Dave's parents house for the bird day today but they're both feeling bad so they decided we'd stay home instead. This is after I went into the grocery store once to buy more yams (after mom tried to make the first batch with the oven set at an insanely high setting. Oh well not a complete failure- Asha liked em.) But now, we're staying home and guess what? I have to go to the grocery store again to get the stuff needed...
Have any of you actually had to cook your own turkey for thanksgiving? It's friggin intimidating. Let me illuminate...
Here you are, face to face with twenty pounds of frozen poultry... your family has suddenly changed plans and you're left with the responsibility of cooking. So, in a panic you rush to the grocery store- battle with the ferocious crowds (trip children) and manage to kick, bite, and claw your way to the last can of cranberry stuff. As a last ditch effort to save your sanity you add abottle of brandy and a cheap chardonay to your cart and walk through the check out line as if you were walking through the valley of death. You know that every grocery store secretly ups prices on thanksgiving day- no way that can of cranberry stuff would usually cost $3.24. You load the car up- including the pies you had to purchase because there wasn't time to actually bake any- and fight with the traffic because every other moron is on the road at the exact moment you are. Finally you get home, and discover that in your rush you bought too much stuffing (oh well. stock pile the stuff.) and you suddenly remember that you already had a roasting thermometer- that fourteen dollar thing in the package suddenly seems like a huge waste of cash. Not to mention when you walk through the door you find the list you had forgotten- and realize that you forgot the foil... oh well.
There lies your foe, in the sink... thawed. Sure it looks innocent enough there in it's wrapping, but the second you unwrap it you discover the true horror of the bird. Read the instructions (and read turkey 101 brought to you by the Kraft corporation) and cringe as you think "I'm about to shove my hand up a dead turkey's butt." Now if THAT doesn't entice you to cook a turkey every month I dunno what will. Better not forget to pull that little bag of 'giblets' out of the neck place.. oh and that long slimy thing you just removed from the tummy, yeah that's the neck. I have no friggin clue why they put those there... it just seems like a good place I guess. Now, how do you stuff this thing? Good question... and interestingly enough, the stuffing that you bought lacks instructions on how to stuff a bird. Sure it tells you how to prepare stuffing every other way in the world except the way they show it on the front of the bag... bastads. Once again- thank god for internet!!
Now what? Well it depends.. do you like dry turkey? No? Well then slide your hands under that icky looking skin there and shove some butter here and there cause nothing moisturizes like fattening substences. Want spices? Sure you want to do that, I mean, that was pretty gross. Oh well, go ahead, hands go under again- at least this time you're not sticking your hand up it's butt.
Congradulations you've now violated a bird in ways it should never be violated in.
Okay, all ready to go in the oven! Now what? Well, you wait for an hour or so untill it's time to baste. Hop online for a little bit, no one's on but that's a good thing because it means that Marc went to his family's for thanksgiving: infact he left you an email to confirm this. He's so sweet. Oh well, surely there's some good movie on to watch whilst the bird cooks... and besides... I'll get to write later to let you guys know if it worked.
