If you had to give up either email or the telephone for the rest of your life, which one would your forgo?

 

This one is hard.
Over the years I've learned to really appreciate my email accounts. 
Granted I am of an age where email is sort of something I grew up with.  I was about 16 when I got my first email account but I never used it regularly until I hit my early to mid twenties.
The phone though, I've been yaking away on the phone for as long as I can remember.
Email is so great for some types of communication needs. 
But I could live with out it.

I live 3000 miles away from almost everyone I love and care about.  I'm okay with that because I LOVE where I live and I can just pick up the phone and call them.  And I do.  Everyday. 

I've spent approximately 500 and a half hours dicking around online today. 

I didn't do anything I wanted to do. 

Just fucked around online.

That's the problem with this Netbook.  I love it so much I don't want to not use it and it doesn't fuck with my back because I don't have to sit on a yoga ball to use it.

I do need to get ready for work though.  Just as soon as Little T is out of the shower.  Fuck I should check my phone too.  I'm sure Jolene has tried to call me. 

My best friend may be moving to Boston. 

And now I'm talking to him on the phone.

Peace out kids.

I'm a bit bored.

Yeah, sure, there's a million things I could be doing.  I COULD do the rest of the dishes, or clean up the house or go get Little T's laundry up from the basement, or I could even take a shower and start getting ready for work.  But I don't really want to do any of those things,  and I'm starting to get sick so I think I should just sit on my Tush and not do nothin'.  (Including using proper grammar.)

Over the past few months I've taken various pictures on my camera phone, some with the intent to blog about, some just because I saw something cool/funny that I wanted to remember and some... I have no fucking idea why I took them.  Today, I loaded them all up onto Vox and I'm going to have a show and tell. 

Exciting, huh?

...A bit of a warning... you might want to get comfy, 'cause there's a lot of 'em.

Me, with freakishly curly and reddish hair.  (In the Terrorist's bathroom)

Lesley's blood on one of the couch cushions to the Terrorist's couch.  (A couch which I strongly dislike... but we wont get into that.)  Lesley called me one night when I was hanging out with the T and told me she sliced her finger open but she thought she'd be fine and she was going to go out drinking.  (Smart, huh?  Thin out your blood when you have an open wound.)  Anyway, we talked her into stopping by his place so he could play doctor, the couch was unfortunately just an innocent bystander that was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Lesley and I laying on the benches at Ikea, waiting for her couch.  Fuck, I loved that couch.  It was a little on the soft side but it was so big and cozy and wonderful.

A picture of one of the first cloves of garlic to ever enter my woman-ness (sorry I've been reading romance novels lately)  I believe the keys are there for scale.  I haven't had those key chains in ages.  That was taken a LONG time ago.

I really don't know why this picture was taken.  I believe it was to convince Chris to come hang out with us.  I don't think it worked.

These two were taken the morning of Adian's 6th birthday.  (I think it was 6th.)  We had breakfast and then went swimming at the local-ish community center.  It was a lot of fun.  Miss those two terribly.

Something bit me.  A lot.  I don't know what the fuck it was but I woke up with this yucky, itchy rash one morning and it took like two weeks for it to go away.  I found some creepy bug type thing in my room a few days after and was convinced that that was it but I never got around to googling it to find out what the fuck the bug was and if it cause itchy rashes or not.

This picture sucks.  And as stated in the last post I'm lazy and don't feel like fucking with the levels on it to make it clearer.  What it is... two bottles of NightTrain a bit bottle and a little bottle.  The T got the big one, I got the little one, we proceeded to drink them all then had my first drunken sex experience.  I'm sure there was more to it then that, but those are the key points... And I remember the sex well, it was some good lovin'.

My friend Kathrine uses the handle "SexHead" for all her online adventures so I decided to show her that she's not the only one who suffers (is it really suffering though?) from Sexhead.

Back around April or May the T and his roommates had a BBQ.  It was to celebrate the birthday of one of their friends/roommates who had passed away a few months prior.  The T invited me and I did my best to "forget" about it because I'm not good with strangers especially since I wasn't sure where he and I stood regarding relationship stuff and I knew there would probably be a lot of his female friends there many of whom he'd boned at some point in the past.  Anyway, he wouldn't let me forget and Lesley wasn't home so I couldn't get her opinion on how I looked to I took a picture and sent it to Kathrine for her opinion.  This was the picture I sent.

It's a cervix made out of soap!!

This flower was at the gate to our front yard.  I'm sure it's dead now but when I took this picture it was still doing well even though it was REALLY freakin cold outside.

It's a mouse cheese grater!!!   How cool is that?!?!?!

Apparently you can buy vibrators at Freddie's now.  I love the fact that they write "Personal Massager" on it and have a picture of a chick on the cover.  They could at least try to be a bit more discreet.  Any-who, it's good to know that if my "personal massager" breaks I don't have to go far to get another one.

At work we've been having a lot of waste at the end of the night so we've started discounting certain items to $1 after 8pm.  When I got to work after my weekend this is the sign that the 19 year old supervisor created to inform our customers about our deal.  It says  "All Pastries on the top shelf are just $1 today.  (Smiley Face)  Awesome people love pasties."  I was the first one to notice the typo.  We decided to leave the sign up until someone commented on it and it took about a month or so.

I got this awesome dip recipe from my sister a few years ago.  The shit is like crack.  You can't stop.  You know you've had enough and you don't really want anymore but you just can't stop eating it.  After I made it the other day I wanted to try a little sample of it because it had been a year or so since I last had it.  My little sample turned into 1/3 of the plate.  Oops.

Ps.  If you're interested... Take a warm block of cream cheese, blend it with half a bottle of Hickory Smoke BBQ sauce, dice up an onion, a green pepper and a tomato, put the blended stuff down first, layer the other things on it and top with shredded cheese.  It's delicious.  Or just really addicting. 








Okay I think that's it for picture time.  I need to go smoke a cigg and make the kid some lunch then get ready for work even though I really don't want to go because I don't feel good and it's cold and it's going to be busy as all fuck.

I woke up absolutely livid this morning.
Went to bed kind of pissed off too.

Why, you ask?

When I got home from work last night I was checking weather reports and what not and decided to check the Kids school to make sure he had school.  He didn't.  They cancelled it because we MIGHT get some snow.  That irritated me because I was planning to finish up some Christmas shopping and get pho with Lesley today and with no school that means I can't do either.   I understand Maine is a far cry from Portland Oregon when it comes to weather.  They're not equipped to deal with this stuff like we are back home, so fine, whatever.  What pissed me off was the fact that the Terrorist never told me.  And I know he knew because they have this nifty automated phone system that calls all the parents to let them know as soon as the decision is made to cancel school.

HE KNOW"S THAT I"M GOING TO HAVE TO CANCEL MY PLANS TO STAY HOME WITH THE KID AND HE DOESN'T HAVE THE COURTESY TO TELL ME!?!?!?! 

What the fuck!?!??!?!?!

I figure there's an explanation and I go to bed.  Maybe he's planing on telling me in the morning...

Next morning (this morning)
The alarm goes off, the T gets up, Nothing.
He comes in the bed room, roots around in his closet for a bit, still nothing.
At this point I'm contemplating bringing it up but the bed is warm and the living room is not so the lazy, sleepy side wins.   Plus I'm still convincing myself that he'll pop in to give me a kiss and inform me of the lack of school right before he leaves.

Then I hear the front door open and close.

Immediately I go from kinda pissed off to totally livid.
Then I promptly fall asleep for an hour or two.

When I wake up, I immediately start fighting with him in my head and I can tell you, it's not pretty.

Part of my morning routine is to check and see if I have missed calls.  There were none but I decided to check the recent call log.  Last call... The Terrorist 7.55p 12/16

What?
I don't remember talking to him last night.

So I check my voice-mail...
The third message went something like this...
"Hey baby, I just got a call from Little T's school, he doesn't have school tomorrow and it's supposed to get bad tonight so you should get out of there as soon as possible and drive safe."

Holy mother fucker, I am a complete and total Jackass!!!

I felt like the HUGEST idiot.

No where in the Todo List did it say ANYTHING about sleeping until 1130a.

I have a bunch of errands to do today and when I got up at 8.30a, talked briefly to the Terrorist before he left for work I grabbed my phone so I could set the alarm and get up 30 mins later.  Well, apparently I fell asleep before I could set it.  Then when the Terrorist called to ask me to pick him up some smokes that wasn't enough for me to realize that I need to WAKE THE FUCK UP and SET THE FUCKING ALARM.  Nope.  So instead I slept until 1130a. 

Don't get me wrong though... I feel GREAT.  Wonderfully refreshed

Not only do I feel great but I'm also jamming out to Britney which I haven't done since my Zen drowned.  I got the whole Blackout album in, like, 5 minutes.  I feel bad because I work with the new gut at work tonight and we're gonna be listening to the album... a few times.  That is, if I can handle it... I get a little embarrassed when listening to Britney at work.

Now I have to go throw some clothes on and attack the ToDo list.  But maybe I'll make some coffee first, nah, we don't have any half & half.  I need to drink more water anyway. 

The T's Bank, my bank, then back home I think and everything else can be done at home.  Oh!  I need to, need to, need to look up Lasagna recipes.  Little T and I are making lasagna Thursday night.

Thats all, kids.  Have a good day!

The kid was right.
I need a budget.

All summer, every time I mentioned something about going to the bank or paying a bill or rent Little T would tell me that I needed a budget.  I thought it was kind of hilarious.  A nine year old, telling a 27 year old (in all seriousnesss) to get a budget. 

Well, due to lack of business at the airport hours are shrinking, not a lot, but enough to matter.  Money is getting tight and it's time for me to get a budget. 

Ugh.  Yet more proof that I"m getting old.

Along with this I need to tighten up the frivolous spending and start paying off some of those bills I keep pushing aside.  I also need to HANG UP THE FUCKING PHONE!!  I'm sorry, but if you don't have Cingular I can't talk to you before 9pm on weekdays.  My cell phone bill was HUGE because I'm such a fucking chatty Kathy.. 

That's my goal for the weekend. 
Create a budget... and write my dad a letter.

My plan was to smoke some reefer and blow off everything that I should do and do stuff I want to do. 
I fell asleep.  Opps.
And when I woke up my headache was worse than before.
I tried smoking more, I tried masturbation and currently I'm trying coffee.  Maybe it's a caffeine thing.
So far... nothing is working.

I'm torn I want to get out of the house and do things (by things I mean one of two things, 1. going to the caldera 2. going to the terrorists) but I don't have the energy to move.  The idea of showering and getting purdy to go up to the Caldera sounds kind of nauseating.  Same with the Terrorists place.  Though I don't need to get "purdy" to visit, human interaction just doesn't sound appealing, plus I think I need to force myself to have some solo time.  Since watching Little T the amount of time I have to myself has rapidly dwindled and I fear if I don't force some on myself on occasion I might get a little grumpy after awhile.  One thing I've learned that's actually kind of cool about getting older is the self awareness you develop and it's also kind of cool to be able to call my mom and have an actual conversation with her and be able to listen to the (awesome) advice that she gives without being all weird and defensive-ish and teenagery about it.

Okay. 
My brain is still scrambled.  (I was hoping the caffeine would kick in and make me feel more motivated and less pukish.)  That's not the case so I'm gonna create a "todo" list then I'm gonna go take a shower and then I'm going to go to bed.

Todo List 1.  (Stuff I need to do before going to bed)

•  Get both phones ready to be mailed out.
• Put all stuff I'm taking with me tomorrow in a pile some place easily seen.
• Attempt to pick up room a bit.  If nausea is too intense forget it
• Take long shower, shave, exfoliate.
• Look up computers w/ Jolene's discount.
• Anything else I may think of that I've been putting off.

• Be out of the house by 7.55a
• Mail phones.
• Check Po Box.
• Get gas.
• Mail a resume or two. 
  
• Possibly write out a cover letter for the Caldera.
• Finish picking out photo's for wall
• Possibly bring chosen photo files to WalGreens for printing.

Little T is in the shower.
My bladder might blow.

I accidentally slept in this morning.  Woke up to my phone ringing, it was the Terrorist.  He called me at 8.15a.  I'm generally here at 8am.  Oops
So, I grabbed some clothes, threw them on on my way out the door and flew up here. 
I really, really have to pee though, and I'm suffering from a major case of morning breath.  I'm okay with them both as long as he caught the Max.  IF he didn't... well I think he did so it doesn't matter.
What was I doing when I was making him late?
Dreaming of spiders.
No, not distant far off, exotic lands or romantic candlelit dinners followed by making out in the rain. 
I was dreaming of fucking spiders!

Spiders

To see a spider in your dream, indicates that you are feeling like an outsider in some situation. Or that you may want to keep your distance and  stay away from an alluring and tempting situation.  The spider is also symbolic of feminine power. Alternatively, a spider may refer to a powerful force protecting you against  your self-destructive behavior. If you kill a spider, it symbolizes misfortune and general bad luck.

Interesting.  Very very interesting.

Wow, I'm sleepy.  More so than usual. 

This not having a working phone thing is very enlightening. 
Not in a very good way either.

NO ONE HAS FUCKING CALLED ME!! 

In like 4 days, my phone has rang maybe three times, two of which were people calling to see if I was dead because they haven't heard from me in a while.  
I'm totally not feeling the love.
I understand that my phone is broken and most everyone knows this and they're probably not calling because I can't actually use the phone if I don't get it at the exact moment that they're calling me but come on!  I have voicemail!  Leave a fucking message, say hi!  Jesus.
Remind me that I have friends outside of the people I work with.
Fuck.

The Good News:
I got my new phone today!  (I haven't blogged about it but my old phone decided it doesn't want to work anymore.  Well, the keys, have decided that they don't want to work anymore.  I can still receive calls but only if I answer it while it's closed... very frustrating.)

The Bad News:
After installing my sim card, memory card and battery into the new phone I powered it up and everything was fine, until I tried to load the memory card.  That's when the screen went blank and would not work again.  Now, I have two useless phones!

The Surprising News:
I called Cingular, they're sending me the newest Razor, and sending it priority.  Yay.  Though it still means it probably wont be until at least Monday before I get my phone.
