There is a fluorescent light in the ceiling here which is flickering during its slow death. It is right in my peripherals when I sit at my desk. It is bothering the crap out of me. I may have to break it.

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I hate that the public is so dumb that they can't be trusted to shop for themselves once every three days and therefore my vegetables are pulsating with more steroids than Barry Bonds and Mark Mcguire.
When I was in Europe I wanted to smack this fat little f***er in a McDonald's t-shirt (yes, his parents fit him with an outfit fit for his lifestyle) who was spitting fruit out on the ground because it "tasted awful." No, you pudgy little soul-sucker, it tastes normal, and not like 80% preservatives with some fruit additives thrown in for color and taste.
Sorry, the city just told my neighborhood that the family-run local grocery store is being replaced with a C-Town which is, for those that don't know, the cheapest, sh*ttiest grocery chain in the country. All because the city (who owns the building the grocery store was in) refuses to lower the rent due to tough economic troubles. Furious right now.
Edit: This probably should have gone in the GRRR thread, but wahtever.

Miller tends to ask the same questions over and over to see if he gets the same response. He's brought up this whole bloopy bit before but each time asks a little more. I know most of you don't have kids and won't find this amusing but being close to Mother's Day I thought I would post it. Special Mommy moments come so many times outside of store bought cards.
So the set up was I was trying to get a base tan and was outside in my sports bra and shorts. I came in and got on the computer a few minutes ago. My 4 year old son comes up and starts poking my stomach...
Mill-Mom Mill-Mom Mill-Poke, poke, poke Mill-Mom! Me-WHAT!? Stop poking me! Mill-Mom? Why are you so bloopy? (poke poke pinch) Me-STOP IT, that hurts! Mill-Well? Why is your tummy so bloopy? Me-A lot of reasons, one being that I carried 2, almost 10lb babies, for nearly 2 years so that YOU could be live (using guilt) Mill-Poke poke poke....extended silence Mill-Mom? Me-(now aggravated) What, Miller? Mill- Thanks for being bloopy.
this week is teacher appreciation week. today i received a card that said this:
thank you for all you do....to teach my son everyday, to give your patience, care and attention, support and understanding. thank you for being a great teacher.
i have some friends who work in "rich" schools who have parents that give them things like free massages and gift cards to best buy during this week. yes, those things are nice but the words on that card mean so much more to me. crazy how that is.

Confession: I am a horrible, despicable person sometimes.
I was supposed to be at a friend's wedding an hour ago. (Back story: it was scheduled for October, but they decided to save $ on the big shindig & just "elope" in their back yard today, very low-key. She invited me by text message 4 days ago. She's not a BFF; but I'm close enough to have been invited to what is basically a family & close friends-only private event.)
I planned to go; managed to shower, dress, and fix my hair. Then a switch in my brain flipped and I talked myself out of going. WTF??? I know I'm letting her down, but I just can't muster up the motivation to go. The thing is, I'm really happy for them. They're a sweet couple who truly meet each other's needs.
This isn't the first time I've sabotaged my social plans like this... but why??? I don't get it! I was in a fine mood, esp. since it's chilly, rainy and grey (my favorite weather) and I've been listening to lovely, mood-appropriate English/Irish music. I haven't left the house since Friday night (by choice: it's the first weekend in months when I've been home alone), so my routine of being a hermit to recharge should've been sufficient.
But for reasons I can't fathom, I'd rather sit in solitude in front of a computer than get dressed up & be around happy people. That is just pathetic! Is it anxiety, depression, hormonal imbalance, or just inexcusable selfishness? I have no clue. I just wish I knew how to predict when these moods would strike so I could prevent disappointing those I care about. All of you who are my friends IRL deserve nominations for sainthood for putting up with my moods.
*sigh*
Maybe a long walk in the rain will rinse off this blahness...
I know the feeling holls. Sometimes I feel like I am dragging myself out to something. I've done that with meetings before where I will call and cancel while in a blah mood an hour before, even if I just flew in for it.
Walks in the rain help. Meditation with some light music outside is even better if you can swing it. Its not abnormal. I think we all feel this way.
I know a lot of posters here are from TN, so maybe yall are familiar with the area near Erwin. This happened on one of my most favorite parts, Beauty Spot, which is in between the towns of Erwin and Roan Mountain.
Moral of the story. Don't f*ck with AT hikers. Hope they prosecute him to the fullest extent.

Um, Sarah? This is near where we're going camping?
Haha, yes it is actually. No worries, that was a completely random incident. We'll be in a very large private campground with plenty of other people around.

Oh trust me I completely understand. I do this ALL the time, as sarah can confirm ;-)
Hell, I even did it on my birthday this week. Was suppose to have dinner with two friends but canceled it two hours before and came home to do nothing. Luckily someone awesome had dinner delivered for me and made sure I had a good birthday! ;-)
I'm almost done with a 7 hour bus ride from Boston to Philly. I can rationalize it as a good thing if I think of it as preparation for my trip to Bonnaroo, right? Right?
I found out about that in my Appalachian Studies class years ago and it stuck every since. Ironically enough, I HAVE seen the inside of the Unicoi County jail on a separate and totally unrelated incident.
Random thought? Never fails, I go to like a band on Facebook and Holls is already a fan. You guys think I'm the hipster.
