I read the News today, Oh boy....

I read an article in Newsweek about the Terri Schiavo case. I have been staying away from the case because I didn't feel like it's my business. One thing that really knocked me on my ass was that the reason she was in the persisent vegetative state was because of the potassium she was missing due to her bulimia. Without the potassium her heart couldn't work properly and it stopped. Her brain was deprived of oxygen for too long and then she went into a coma.
What breaks my heart is that this woman's death and recent political circus was all because a, at the time, twenty-six year old woman felt that purging was better than being fat. Women are killing themselves everyday to fit some ideal body type that can never be realized. There is no "skinny enough" to please this standard so I say we just stop trying. I want to stop this. I want this to end. Who's with me?

Working 4 The Weekend.

Today my manager called a pamphlet on company procedure a "great piece of literature". Either she couldn't think of the right word or my English classes in college were all wrong.

Momma Mia

I am lucky enough to work at the same place my mother does and so I get to see her almost everyday. To some this might be their worst nightmare but my mother is one of the coolest people I know. When I walk into her office, she lights up and say, "Well, hello!" Everyone should know what that feels like. If I've had a bad day I know I can go see her and she will listen. We've become friend. As friendly as a mother and daughter can get without being icky and unhealthy.
That being said there is something that I must say. My sister is getting married and that is all my mother is thinking about. Its not that I'm jealous because I'm really excited too. Its just that she doesn't talk about anything else really! Its boring. One more conversation about save the day magnets or home-made veils and my eyes will literally roll in my sockets like a slot machine. I told her after the wedding we would have nothing to talk about. That I would have to get married for her to have something to do. She's going to have to decorate something just to keep busy. Mom loves to control and plan. If you let her, she will take over.

And Just for fun I'll give you a send the day invitation for this...Nanu-Nanu.

Slap my Bitch Up...

Devil in the Apricot Dress...

So I ordered the bridesmaid dress today. I hate the thought of buying a dress and not trying it on first. It will be documented proof that I need to lose weight.

Also in wedding news, I found out that my friend Jason is engaged! I've known this guy for years and now he's getting married. A group of us used to hang out all the time when we were in our early twenties. It was the late ninties and we were all involved in fundie Christiainity at the same church. Then there was what I like to call the "Great Exodus", when we all, for different reasons, left the church and the born again life. Recently most of us, Kathy, Mike, Javiar, Jason and myself, have been hanging out again.
Its strange that we all got to know each other in one context, as young fundamental Christians, and now we're grown up (sort of) and way less conservative. These guys, whose only evidence of sexuality were brief glances at my sweater set covered breasts, are now calling me sexy and one actually touched them! Javie is married, Kathy lives with her boyfriend, Jason is engaged and Mike has tattoos. I feel the same but I know I must seem different to them too. I'm a college graduate, working a full time job, single (and dating) and planning to get my own apartment soon. When I was in the church all I wanted to do was marry the boy I loved and have babies. Now, I want a Sex in the City lifestyle rather than a Family First one. And I'm going to be thiry next year. Life is funny, you know?

Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
All the world's waiting for you, and the power you possess.
In your satin tights,
Fighting for your rights
And the old Red, White and Blue.
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
Now the world is ready for you, and the wonders you can do.
Make a hawk a dove,
Stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth.
Wonder Woman,
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman.
All our hopes are pinned on you.
And the magic that you do.
Stop a bullet cold,
Make the Axis fall,
Change their minds, and change the world.
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman. You're a wonder, Wonder Woman.

My sister got me the Wonder Woman season one on DVD and I am in love again. I want to lose enough weigh by Holloween to be Wonder Woman. I think its a worthy goal.

Jim Beane, RIP.

Check out my injury pictures! Oh Jim! Say it ain't so!

Oops I did it again!

Man, I did it again. I slept with someone I shouldn't have slept with. Yeah I finally got laid, (YAY!) but its kind of a sticky situation (pun intented). It was with an old friend and we were both sort of drunk so it wasn't like we were the champions of good judgement. Anyways, now I'm afraid that we aren't going to be friends anymore. Can people be friends after they have crossed that line?
What sucks is now I'm second guessing everything that I do when it comes to this guy. 'What will he think' has become the little nagging question now. I will behave the same and let him think what he wants. I know I'm not in love with him, it was just a night of sex. I'm cool with such things I think. He has a history of avoiding the question, but he is a guy and they all seem to have a habit of that.
As it was starting all I could think was that I couldn't believe this was happening. It was just naughty in a good and bad way. Like a stepbrother and sister playing doctor while their parents watch TV downstairs. Greg and Marsha Brady going at it in Tiger's dog house. A surreal moment to say the least. But a whole hell of a lot of fun.

Hey That's me!

I have a flicker account and I got a response to this picture. There is a clear example of not getting the joke.

Rather bored...

...and thinking about lame things like this late night movie I watched a long time ago. It was about this church that had Satan - get this- liquifed in its basement. Yes, it was a vat of satan smoothie that was causing all kinds of trouble. This team of "scientist" were studying it and well all hell broke loose. Sometimes I wonder how movies like that get pitched and produced. Ah Hollywood is a stange place. I should know I live there. Well I soon will.

I Kissed Dating Goodbye!

I just got a message from some guy whose email name is LSBONE.

I must quit internet dating.

Another One Bites the Dust!

I went out on a date the other night. It wasn't bad, in fact he was very nice. He asked me what my favorite food was (greek) and took me to a greek resturant. He was a gentleman and only made one boob reference the whole night. Believe me that is rare! But at the end of the night I couldn't get away from him fast enough. Now I ask, what is my deal!?
I don't think I have a problem, just like I don't think it's his fault. I wasn't attracted to him. At all. He even kissed me and I just felt uncomfortable. Now why am I attracted to twenty year old guitar players who I could never have any kind of relationship with in a million years? Charles, my date, is a lawyer who owns property (how very Jane Austin of me) and blah, blah, blah. Hello, blah. How's work, blah. Godnight, blah. I just hate being disappointed by dating.
Maybe went out with this guy because my sister is getting married and I'm surrounded by love. Maybe I'm lonely. Maybe I just want to get laid. I know I don't really want to date, so I ask again why am do I do it? No really I'm asking you, why?

These people would eat me alive...
