No I Haven’t Stopped Blogging

I just haven’t had time. This last month has been a whirlwind. It hasn’t really hit me yet that I am leaving Los Angeles for good. I’m sure it will when I come back from Philadelphia (I’m heading out there on Thanksgiving to bring the pup back to my parents while we do our cross country trip) and all of our possessions are gone. I wish I didn’t have to fly with her. It’s causing a lot of anxiety because once when I flew with her they made me put her in cargo instead of letting her travel in the cabin. I am praying I can get her into the cabin with me. Due to her size, it’s questionable. I have pulled out every stop though. I got her a bag that is a little bigger and the groomer has cut her hair so short that she appears smaller than she does with her usual fluffy coat. Cross your fingers for me, people.

Due to all the moving preparations I really have nothing to talk about except for boring ass address changes and the fact that my car smelled like burnt ass last night (there was some smoke also). Did I mention this is the car we are traveling cross country in? Fabulous. Since I am having writer’s block due to stress and other Wordpress related retardedness, I am going to continue my 100 things.

79. I want to see Antarctica before I die. Seriously. No joke.

78. I am hoping to volunteer for the Red Cross after I get my masters in psych so I can go to disaster zones to help as a trauma counselor.

77. I never thought about what I wanted my wedding to be like until Jason and I were dating for about 3 years (never thought about as a kid).

76. People. I am a good dancer.

75. Jason is not.

74. My brother is 10 years younger than I am. I was more like his 2nd mom than his sister which was no fun for him.

73. My IQ is 130.

72. One of my most favorite places in the world is still my old bedroom at my parent’s house in Philadelphia.

71. I have always been insanely close to my mom. A little codependent actually. Since I moved far away from her though, we have a better and more balanced relationship. I love my mom. She rocks.

70. For about a year I took ecstasy quite a few times. It was the best drug I ever experienced but as soon as I saw the MTV special with the girl who had brain damage from it, I stopped.

BlogMe

Ok, so, that slut that I will be rooming with at BlogHer tagged me for this BlogHer “get to know your fellow bloggers” Survey. I bite and here I go:

1. When did you start blogging and why? Tell me about your blog. What can I learn about you in under 5 minutes?

I started blogging on July 20, 2005. I was in Philadelphia watching my mother go through chemo for breast cancer and I needed an outlet. I had just turned 30 and thought about the fact that I had given up all my creativity and wonder so I could be an “adult”…whatever that means. So, I decided I needed to write more than once a year. This is how I keep myself blogging even when there is nothing to say. Honestly, it’s a short life, people and I couldn’t spend it how I was anymore.

My blog is an effing mess. Sincerely, I really hope people are entertained by it and I hope the mentally retarded people can relate but it’s really all about me. The good, the bad and the extremely looney.

Under 5 minutes? Um, that I am anxious, sweat a lot and stutter. AND have a tendency to curse like a trucker. Also, I love chocolate, cute boys and wish I still smoked even though it makes me ill. 9 times out of 10 I’m probably drunk or popping pills.

2. Who do you read everyday, rain or shine?

The Art Of Getting By- Janet is from Jersey(which was my second home growing up) and loves TV almost as much as I do(actually she may surpass me). We both have a problem and admit it freely. I love her for this.

Blogography- Who doesn’t like a man who is hot, talented(um, hi, he made himself into a cartoon) and hilarious? Certainly not me. I loves me some Dave. Daily, I need to read him bitch about small children and bad internet. Without it, my day is just not complete.

Jane Loves Tarzan- Jane was one of my first bloggie friends. Jane is smart, funny and has a pet pig. Yes, a pig, and it is adorable! She has been through some rough stuff but is still around to teach us all her life lessons. She is tough and proud and I just love her.

Kentucky Girl-Kentucky lives in California and hates it as much as I do. I can relate to her on almost every issue. I have to take exception to her love of the mouse though. I shudder at even a glimpse of the mouse…

Mrs Hell On Heels- Mrs HOH was my second bloggie friend. I rented from her on Blog Explosion and we have been keeping up on each other since then. We have our lovely depression issues in common, among some other things. I love to keep up on what is going on in her world and she, like Jane, have taught me a thing or two. Love ya Mrs HOH!

So a Blonde Walks Into a Blog- Dawn is hysterical and so much fun to read. I love her because she is so opinionated but not judgmental. She is into so many things that I am that I can’t wait to meet her in real life!

Tiny Voices In My Head- Dawn is a small town girl with big city snark. I relate to her so much and I just dig her. She has this way of telling her stories that you can’t help falling off your chair in laughter.

Stumbling Through Life With Grace- OMG, 3T. I love 3T. 3T and I have like minds. We have strangely gone through some of the same things at the same time. Our politics, religion and the way we see the world is almost completely in sync. I am going to meet her in person in Nov or Dec when Jason and I go cross country and I can not wait!!!!

Taste The World- Sure I call Chase a whore, a slutbanger, loosey goosey etc. The truth is I think the world of her. She is funny as hell and as she said we were definitely separated at birth. It doesn’t change the fact that she is a crack lovin prostitute with a mouth like a sailor…but nothing will change that, I’m afraid.

3. What don’t you write about? What do you consider a no-no in your book?

My sex life and politics. Frankly, the first one you don’t want to hear about and the second, I don’t want to hear about.

4. How do you feel about meeting bloggers in real life? Are you nervous? Will you have great expectations?

Ok, I have to admit I didn’t have online friends before I started this blog. I always thought it was kind of weird to make friends online. Like somehow the friendships weren’t real. They are though. Really. There are real people at the end of those wires.

Although, I still fully expect that Chase will have 3 eyes and a tail.

5. So, soon we’re going to meet each other at BlogHer. Important question : how do you party?

I drink Belvedere and Cranberry. I will probably ask you for a cigarette. DO NOT TELL ME I CAN NOT HAVE ONE BECAUSE I QUIT. You will not escape without blood being drawn if you deny me my drunken cigarette.

Would you, without fear of punishment, take a human life for $1,000,000? No amount of money. Well, maybe if it was just a crackhead hooker…

The Uninspired Use Memes

I wanted to post something interesting but then I was told I would likely alienate someone if I wrote the post I was going to. Poor you.

Instead, I am stealing this from Bec:

What curse word do you use the most? The most? That would be shit and most of time it is being shouted.

Do you own an iPod? The crap shuffle kind, but yes.

Who on your MySpace “Top 8” do you talk to the most? Laura

What was the last movie you watched? A lot Like Love(I loved it and didn’t have PMS, I scare myself sometimes)

Do any of your friends have children? Ohh yes.

What is the weather like? Nice, it’s southern California.

Would you ever date someone covered in tattoos? Probably not.

April 20, 2006

TAG! I’m always it!

Um, I have now been tagged like 6 billion times or 2 by Newsbitch and Some Girl. Sheesh. Ok, ok, I’m weird and here’s my 6 weird facts:

1. I am obsessed with Oprah. I love her. I would be her if I could. Seriously, I’d even take the weight problem. I TIVO her everyday and can’t wait to watch her.

2. Barry Manilow music makes me cry. I love it because it reminds me of when I was a kid. I used to dance and sing and pretend I was on stage. Wait no, that was yesterday.

3. I have a weird birth mark thing that isn’t a birth mark because it appeared on my thigh when I was nine. No doctor could figure out what it was so they took a biopsy and it wasn’t cancer so they made something up about blood vessels breaking close to the surface of the skin. It basically looks like little bruises that move around my thigh. Also, weird side note, that thigh doesn’t seem to get bigger or smaller no matter how much weight I gain or lose…WEIRD.

4. I started highlighting my hair when I was 15 1/2. It wasn’t until I was 30 that I saw what my real hair color was again. It’s brownish reddish and sorta wavy, who knew??

5. I love to eat babies. Wait no I don’t. I just wanted to see if you were paying attention. Now that you are…I used to think acting stupid for boys was cool when I was teenager. I feel bad now that I did it and I would like to kill Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton for perpetuating the myth that you have to play dumb to get attention. I was an idiot but they are total assholes. They are setting a terrible ideal for our young girls to look up to. Ick.

6. I used to sing. I was really good at it too. I had severe stage fright though and it stopped me from doing very much with it. I miss it.

I’m not tagging anyone because I honestly think I am the last one to do this.

Chase tagged me and gave me the indie virus! Click on the link to learn what it is. I am giving Some Girl the “the indie virus” because I like her blog, she talks about her love life, which I am TOTALLY a fan of, she is funny, smart and sassy. Pay her a visit! Now, Some Girl, you must give someone you love the virus! Have fun!
