Here Comes A Storm Kicked out of Girl Scouts at 12. I am definitely the poster girl for Does Not Play Well With Others. I once named a cat after the Siouxsie & The Banshees song Peekaboo. I like to think of myself as "vintage" goth and if you call me old, I will fork you in the eye. I have recently decided I am too stupid to date. Self realization is da bomb.

I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues 2007-09-09 12:01:00 Well it is my favorite color =)You Are a Blue CrayonYour world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors.You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find.On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody.However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front.Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying.What Color Crayon Are You?This was hands down (no Rosy Palm jokes, now) the single most illuminating quiz I have taken. If I had a penis what would I call it?! I gotta say....I like this one. It has depth, character, insight...Your Penis Name Is...Phantom Lord of Ultimate DarknessPenis Name GeneratorBubba and Me - I wouldn't let Hillary near my Phantom Lord of Ultimate Darkness, either. Oh intern......!You Are Most Like Bill ClintonNo doubt, your legacy may be a little seedier than you'd like.But even though you've done some questi ...

I Am S M R T 2007-09-08 21:49:00 Am-I-Dumb.com - Are you dumb?Found that fun little test over at Sparky Ducks. In addition to this one I took a grammer test found over at Desert's and got 10 outta 10. I am feeling pretty smug right about now :P ...

Sad Eyes, Crooked Crosses In God's Country 2007-09-08 17:59:00 I have been soooo bad with both going to my favorite blogs and writing in my own. It was DAMN hard to get back into the swing of things at work. I didn't really get my appetite back until Thursday or so and I am still not up to working overtime. Tomorrow I will be going in for a few hours.Today, though, I am just being a big old couch potato. Watching VH1 Classic Albums - U2 Joshua Tree and then Rattle and Hum will be on after that. Which make up 2 of my Top Three U2 albums. Achtung Baby being the third. Boy is a close call on that though.The bastards need to stop jacking me around with their damn "doodling" in Morocco and GIVE ME AN ALBUM.Dammit.And for Kidlet....Green Day needs to shit or get off the pot and GIVE ME A NEW album as well.Not that we didn't both love their collaboration and their contributions to Instant Karma, but DAMN. It has been 3 years for both of them.LOL...apparently Brian Eno nearly blew up the tape of the original attempts of Where The Streets Have No Name as ...

I Almost Fell Into That Hole In Your Life 2007-09-04 13:53:00 I am still home today, released to go back to work tomorrow. This was one very very nasty illness. I made it to Dead Fred's yesterday and got my shopping and school supply list covered, and then came home and passed out on the couch for another couple of hours. On the plus side I ate *TWO* meals yesterday and actually had coffee for the first time since Aug 26th. That is how sick I was.Kidlet started Jr High today. 7th Grade. It was a cattle call outside the school today and it was just the 7th graders. 8th comes back and classes begin tomorrow. Today is a special orientation for the 7th gr kids. Kidlet is excited and a bit freaked over the 5 minutes between classes. Her school is fairly decent sized so I don't blame her. As per usual, she looks about 4 grades higher than her classmates. Heck last year they lost her pictures sending them around the district trying to figure out who this "student teacher" was cause they didn't get that she was a 6th grader. And that was before disco ...

When You Only Got 100 Years To Live 2007-08-31 17:52:00 Slacker post. Back from the doctor. Released to go back to work next Wednesday. Let's hope I am eating by then. I feel better, I just have no appetite and still get nauseated very easily and any "real" food makes me feel ill. So for now, it is still tea, broth, and yogurt if I am feeling jiggy.Equally as whitebread as my diet is this post. Some of you have seen these ones going around. Bond and I are sympatico with our Marquezness =)You're One Hundred Years of Solitude!by Gabriel Garcia MarquezLonely and struggling, you've been around for a very long time.Conflict has filled most of your life and torn apart nearly everyone you know. Yet thereis something majestic and even epic about your presence in the world. You love life allthe more for having seen its decimation. After all, it takes a village.Take the Book Quizat the Blue Pyramid.Interesting but I am not really lonely. I mean I have my moments, but generally I am a misanthrope and really would be MOST unhappy to be surrounded by ...

Thursday Thirteen 27 - Fly High Free Bird 2007-08-29 21:13:00 Musical Quotes Part Deux!! I had fun doing the first part of this and will probably revisit the theme again soon. This weeks version is a bit lighter than the last. Happy TT!I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed. -B. B. KingYou see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other; our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That is to help each other and not hurt each other. - Stevie Ray VaughanTo me, there's nothing freer than a bird, you know, just flying wherever he wants to go. And, I don't know, that's what this country is all about, being free. I think everyone wants to be a free bird. - Ronnie Van Zant - Lynyrd SkynyrdJust rock on, and have you a good time. - Duane Allman - The Allman BrothersI been in the blues all my life. I'm still delivering 'cause I got a long memory. -Muddy WatersDeath makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as rav ...

Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? Wordless Wednesday 28 2007-08-28 13:44:00 A not so wordless Wordless Wednesday for you.In the beginning there were a lot of words, most of them hollow. 2 years later there is an odd silence on the subject. How many people not living in the Gulf Region and New Orleans in particular think about the progress or lack there of? Do you?I was home sick when Katrina hit and I watched the CNN nearly 24/7 for the first week. I have never, in my life, been so embarrassed and horrified by my government. I have never in my life been so enraged at the politicians who have not forgotten the mantra of "the government of the people, for the people and by the people" - they merely hold themselves above those standards.They call it "executive privilege." I call it bullshit. I can honestly say that had that plane carrying Bush to NOLA gone down I would have been drinkin and dancing in the streets. If that makes me un American and pisses you off, fine and dandy and deal with it in that order.Today, on the 2nd anniversary of Katrina I bring you cli ...

Bleh 2007-08-28 07:24:00 Thanks for the well wishes folks. I think we can let Matt off the hook, it's a long story Desert. I had to head to my grandfathers on Saturday as he was totally ill with some gastro crap. Both ends if you get my drift and he is 87. I got there, they had signs up that "some" of their people had a gastro bug. Some = 20 not including Gramps. His room was digusting. I knew I was going to get it. Ended up spending 5 hours in the ER yesterday cause throwing up blood is not fun. I was badly dehydrated. Got 2 units of IV fluids, hard core anti nausea drugs and morphine for the pain. They are ruling out a bunch of fun stuff. Norwalk (the cruise ship virus) salmonella, ecoli and other crap. The county health department is all over his assisted living like a wet rag. I am still sick today. Minute those anti nausea pills wear off, I am feeling it. Hope everyone is well and I will try to get back soon. ...

I Like Having A Detachable Penis 2007-08-24 10:00:00 It was a bad week for members everywhere. Frankly after seeing the following headlines and subsequent stories, if *I* had a penis I would wish it were detachable too. I'd be putting it in a safety deposit box. There is a bad moon on the rise and it has it's eye on penii of the world.(Note to RWA - Nope I don't think "penii" is in the dictionary either. Like "pubtastic" it falls under the category of Starr fauxcabulary!)British dwarf's penis gets stuck to hooverMon Aug 20, 3:50 PM ETEDINBURGH (AFP) - A dwarf performer at the Edinburgh fringe festival had to be rushed to hospital after his penis got stuck to a vacuum cleaner during an act that went horribly awry.Daniel Blackner, or "Captain Dan the Demon Dwarf", was due to perform at the Circus of Horrors at the festival known for its oddball, offbeat performances. The main part of his act saw him appear on stage with a vacuum cleaner attached to his member through a special attachment.The attachment broke before the performance and ...

Thursday Thirteen 26 -She Seen That I Was Busy Doing Something Close To Nothing 2007-08-22 21:00:00 I was thinking of doing Musical Quotes part deux and I probably will, just not this week cause I am laaaaaaazzzzzy. So here are random thoughts I have had in the last 24 hours.Holy Shit! There really was a Chinese philosopher named Wang Ch'ung! Wonder if he hung out in dance halls?I think Heylia on Weeds is a douche bag.The Nixon administration were asshats for Watergate for sure. For their treatment of John Lennon they should have been strung up by their pubes. But Yoko really does sound like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.I had forgotten just how warped and funny (in a sick way, yeah yeah yeah) American Psycho is.I am starting to fear that I am addicted to Sugar Free Non Fat Caramel Lattes.I adore Anthony Bourdain. Now he has a blog and does recaps on each weeks Top Chef. They are better than the show itself!The poor guy who made the Taj Mahal was imprisoned by his own son for the final years of his life for spending so much on the monument to his wife. That kid needed a tim ...
