Something Fun
I'm not feeling too depressed today. In spite of having a minor fight with my mother which I feel that I got the best of(a rare occurrence indeed), I really am not feeling that bad. One of my friends on FB likes to share all sorts of funny pictures. They really help to get me in a better mood. Some of them are absolutely hilarious and have me hysterically laughing like this one:
That is just so damn absurd and presumptuous that it *has* to be a Mickey D's in Florida! There are plenty of peeps here who are asshole enough to do that. Seriously, WTF? Management just lets them set up a freakin' big-ass desktop computer at a booth? Did they haul that crap in on a dolly? That is messed up on so many levels.
And what would one of my posts be without some of my latest obsession OUAT? I thought it would be silly and fun to do some some Evil Regals torino/devil horns pictures. Did you know that that gesture was popularized by Ronnie James Dio? As the story goes, his Italian grandmother used to make that gesture to him.
So firstly, we have Mama Regal and Papa Regal:
Next is Oma Regal:
Tante Regal Xul:
Honorary Regal Pet, Grumpy Cat:
Now I just need one of Oom Regal Arekino!
I remember the first time I saw the original picture of Grumpy Cat. The expression on that poor kitty's face had me cracking up so bad that I was in tears and couldn't breathe. And the more I thought about it the funnier it got and the more painful. I was probably laughing for a good 10 minutes. Grumpy Cat is my favorite meme. LOL
And what do *YOU* like for LOLs?

I'm not going to draw on my hand. Plus I'm not *that* big a fan of the show. I like it but not as much as you do.
And what do *YOU* like for LOLs?
Well, puns mostly. Stand up comedy I like as well. Dirty jokes or jokes that are just *so wrong* will get a LOL out of me. Betty White tends to be good at those :)
I'm not going to draw on my hand. BOOOOOOO!!!!! C'mon... you could at least give me a nekkid torino! You don't have to be a big OUAT nerd. There are lots of different flavors in nerddom...show me some nerd cred! ;P [and it would make me happy ;) ]
Dirty jokes or jokes that are just *so wrong* will get a LOL out of me. Do you like Joan Rivers? Cuz she's one of my guilty pleasures. I watch her Joan & Melissa show and Fashion Police. She cracks me up. Her jokes are soooo wrong but soooo very witty.
at least give me a nekkid torino!
A torino is the hand gesture? Is that the official OUAT fan greeting?
I'm having some Montezumas' Revenge troubles ATM but I'll see what I can do when I feel better.
Do you like Joan Rivers?
I haven't seen much of her.
A torino is the hand gesture? Yes. Italian for 'bull'. More widely known as the 'devil horns' that metal-heads do or when you're a bad-ass.
Is that the official OUAT fan greeting? It's the Evil Regals official greeting. Lana Parrilla started it. She coined the term Evil Regals and started the torino with 'Evil Regal' written on her hand on twitter IIRC. Then her mother got in on it and then everyone who is a EQ/Regina fan started doing it. It's a silly thing but fun.
I'm having some Montezumas' Revenge Oh noooooooes!!!!! Have you been to Mexico and drank the water? NEVER drink the water there! (or eat the worm in the bottom of the tequila bottle) ;P Sorry you're feeling ill. :( What the heck did you eat? It must be something going around. I had a touch of something on Monday that required me to make a wardrobe change because of the dreaded 'shart'. :/
I haven't seen much of her. Seriously? She's only been around for like 10,000 years...maybe check out a YouTube?
I'm feeling better today. I don't think it was anything I had eaten. Just the last remnants of a flu or a cold.
It's a little bit scary getting diarrhoea as a diabetic. I lose a lot of calories that way and can't be sure how much sugar my body still contains. I can get a hypoglycemic attack that way. So I tend to load up on carbs... which can raise my blood sugar levels beyond acceptable levels. It's messy and confusing. :/
Anyway, how's your day gone by?
I'm glad you are feeling better. I wouldn't want you to keel over and croak. That would suck for both of us. ;) I'm not unfamiliar with diabetic issues. My mother tends to be hypoglycemic. Her body makes too much insulin and she has issues if she eats the wrong things. Not fun to deal with. :(
Anyway, how's your day gone by? That's a loaded question...:/ Prepare yourself. Here goes...
I'd like to say "shitty" but not because I was having any "plumbing issues". LOL My mother was making my day a living hell. It's non-stop negativity with her.
First, she had to get in her digs with some personal attack against me(I don't remember what it was, I tend to get pissed and not remember what she said). Basically it was something about 'why I act a certain way' which if she had any ability to be critical of her own actions then she would know that I act a certain way because I have been conditioned by her to act that way to begin with. Oh! It was something about 'why I don't take the initiative do do things on my own'. Well, that is an easy one to answer. Everyone around here has been conditioned to not make a move without her expressed written consent, because without that, there will be hell to pay! 'Why would you do THAT? You NEVER consult me about ANYTHING! How could you do something like that?' The implication is that no matter what you do on your own it is always wrong because it isn't what she would do or want, and she wasn't consulted. So you get to the point where you do not do anything so that you avoid the berating. That's not too hard to figure out. But with the disordered like her, they can never see that their actions cause others to behave in certain ways. They are never at fault and are always the victim.
I know this is going to sound terrible, but I'm getting to the point where I fucking hate her and wish that she would hurry up and die so that I can finally have a life.
Back to the original question. That set the tone for the day. Then I had to spend a miserable 4 hours with her going to 5 different stores, all the while listening to her non-stop negativity and complaining about everything. That is what wears me down the most--her fucking negative mouth.
Four hours to do what I could have accomplished in probably an hour or hour and a half.
That is another of my resentments. All my life I've been dragged along with her, wasting my life away sitting in a fucking car while she takes hours and hours sitting in the fucking car looking at sale ads and then dragging from one store to the next taking her sweet-ass time about it. Then she has the nerve to get testy with me when I complain about it. "Oh, I can never shop in peace without you harassing me to hurry up! Oh, all you do is stress me out!" Well, fuck me running, there's an easy solution to that, isn't there? Don't fucking drag me every fucking place with you, then you will have no one to stress you! But we can't have any of that, can we? Cuz not having anyone to torture and control and keep under your thumb at all times would be no fun at all. Just fucking die already.
Her body makes too much insulin
She's not a diabetic then? Or a type 2 maybe? She would improve situation by losing weight then.
no matter what you do on your own it is always wrong because it isn't what she would do or want
That's a Catch 22 isn't it? You're screwed if you do and you're screwed if you don't.
wish that she would hurry up and die so that I can finally have a life.
Okay, now I hope your mother doesn't die under suspicious circumstances ;P
fuck me running
I'm honestly not sure how that would work. :)
Don't fucking drag me every fucking place with you
So she's physically able to go to those places on her own? What reason/excuse does she give to drag you along?
On a side note, it's my mother's birthday this Sunday. People will be visiting. Cake will be eaten. Chats will be had.
I am so staying out of the way of that. :(
Or a type 2 maybe? Yeah, some kind of weird type 2 thing.
She would improve situation by losing weight then. Oh, definitely. One of her doctors has her on thyroid meds as well as her diabetes meds to try to boost her metabolism but her biggest problem is she refuses to do any exercise. The last time we went to see the endocrinologist, she warned me not to say anything to the doc about the fact that she won't work out, then when the doctor asked, she was staring me daggers and giving me the look that I 'better not DARE say anything'. I don't care any more. She uses her back injury as an excuse. There are things that she could do but she's too lazy. She's only screwing herself.(Of course if bitching and complaining made someone lose weight, she'd look anorexic!)
That's a Catch 22 isn't it? You're screwed if you do and you're screwed if you don't. Yes, indeed.
Okay, now I hope your mother doesn't die under suspicious circumstances ;P Not gonna happen. The first part of my life is gone because of her, I won't be screwing the rest of what I have left by doing something so stupid.
So she's physically able to go to those places on her own? What reason/excuse does she give to drag you along? She has herniated disks and practically no cartilage in her knees. I can't *prove* the amount of pain she has. Of course, she seems to get around just fine when I'm there, albeit she needs to hang onto a grocery cart to get around. Her main excuse is that someone *might* try to mug her because she's old. And she gets all paranoid if I go somewhere by myself because apparently there are all these people lying in wait to mug, rape or kill me, too. And then she might fall down and *nobody* would be there to *help* her. Ugh. And then if she has to buy something heavy I need to be there to lift it(as if there are no other people in the store who could help her). It's all so frustrating.
I am so staying out of the way of that. :( How many peeps are expected to come? Sounds like you'll be hiding in your cave for the duration! ;P Or maybe a long walk. Or you could just start making up wild stories! If there are going to be chats, they should at least be interesting! ;P
That's one thing that I haven't had to endure in years. Most everyone in my family is dead and those who aren't live thousands of miles away and are estranged because of my mother.
not to say anything to the doc about the fact that she won't work out
I'm pretty sure the doctor can tell just by looking at her.
I won't be screwing the rest of what I have left by doing something so stupid.
Oh, I didn't think you were going to do anything. It's just that she could die naturally but under suspicious circumstances.
How many peeps are expected to come?
Not that many. Just some family members.
Sounds like you'll be hiding in your cave for the duration!
That's pretty much what I tried to do. Of course, my nephews found me anyway.
Most everyone in my family is dead
I hate funerals with a passion so I tend to avoid them. When eventually my parents die, I'll probably have to attend their funeral. I am NOT going to enjoy that.
Well, Arekino, I see you survived your ma's b-day celebration! I guess you avoided the dreaded interrogations? It's too bad I'm all the way over here because one of my specialties is rescuing my friends from family gatherings! (Yes, one of the many ironies of life...I can rescue my friends from their families but I cannot rescue myself from my own! O.o I guess it's like one of those inconvenient rules of magic.)
Of course, my nephews found me anyway. I suspect they went easy on you! ;) And you probably didn't mind them too much.
I hate funerals with a passion so I tend to avoid them. I do, too. And yet another irony is I've never been to a funeral of anyone in my family.
I am NOT going to enjoy that. Nor should you. Do you lot do traditional burials or cremation?
I'm pretty sure the doctor can tell just by looking at her. What's funny is that aside from the weight issue, she does very well in the other health areas--all her tests are in normal range and the doctors apparently have taken note judging by their comments. Now, if she was to do some psychological tests... }:-D>
one of my specialties is rescuing my friends from family gatherings!
Any good stories?
I suspect they went easy on you!
I guess. They're not very demanding just time consuming. :P
I've never been to a funeral of anyone in my family.
You didn't attend your sister's funeral then?
Do you lot do traditional burials or cremation?
I think both.
all her tests are in normal range
Weird.
Any good stories? Oh, yes! I usually had to do it for my friend Karen back when her family lived within biking distance to me.
Ya see, her folks were very religious and they used to have Bible studies at their house with some of their friends and they would make my friend participate. She HATED it because they would always insist on singing songs--usually the same ones--and it was boring and what teenager wants to hang out with her parents' friends having Bible study?
So one time by accident we discovered that if I was over visiting that they wouldn't make me participate and would let Karen hang out with me in her bedroom. So from then on, if Karen found out that her folks had invited those people over, then I got invited over, too! LOL (just as long as I was available)
What is amazing is knowing what a controlling asshole my mother is, that I got away with going over there, especially the fact that I RODE my BIKE over there sometimes. Other times I'd have my dad drop me off.
You didn't attend your sister's funeral then? There wasn't a funeral. She was cremated. There was lots of drama with my sister's friends and my aunt and I think my mother did that just to spite everyone. That and she wasn't going to spend any money for one.
Weird. Yeah, that's because she has never had any psych tests done! LOL ;P
then I got invited over, too
Clever girl ;)
That and she wasn't going to spend any money for one.
Seems a bit cheap. You know, I don't think that over here there's much difference between a funeral and a cremation. All we have is the remembrance ceremony and nobody actually sees the burial or cremation part.
Hey, Petrichor has a new post up.
Anyway, what are you up to, Arekino?
I don't have much going on here...not much to talk about. Why don't you tell me a story? Didn't you have a motorbike before? Tell me about that! :)
Hey, Petrichor has a new post up.
Yeah, I just noticed 30 minutes ago :)
what are you up to, Arekino?
Not much. Listening to some podcasts. Gotta go to sleep in a few minutes.
Didn't you have a motorbike before?
Yes, a couple of years ago. Belonged to my sister really. Wasn't much of a motorbike.
^ ripoff :::pout face:::
^ ripoff
What? You mean the motorbike? I just meant to say it was a "bromfiets", so not the coolest bike in the world. It was similar to this one
These things also need a special kind of fuel mix. I gave it back to my sister a couple of years ago. She sold it to someone a short while after that.
I used to ride it to my job at a candy/cookies factory. I worked there in shifts. It was unpleasant work in some ways. The strong, sweet smells, the loud noise of some large machines, the nightly work. At the end of the week we got free candy/cookies though. I didn't know I was a diabetic at the time so I loved that part. I stopped working there after about 2 weeks. A week after that I got my diabetes diagnosis. My weight at that moment was only about 68 kgs.
Why don't you tell me a story?
Real or fictional? What would you like to hear exactly?
68 kgs. Holy shit, Arekino! You must've looked like you had been in a concentration camp! That's skinny! Had you always been like that or was the weight a clue that there was something wrong?
You're right about the motorbike. It's not very sexy. Not much of a chick magnet. ;P
I have one that's even worse--a Honda Trail 70. It hasn't worked since I was little. My dad took it to be serviced when I was a teenager so I could ride it but when we got it home we couldn't get it started. I personally don't think they made any repairs to it. My dad is the type of person who doesn't follow through and lets people take advantage of him. I guess the peeps at the repair shop saw him for the sucker that he is. They got paid and never did any work on it and he never took it back and complained. So the damned thing has been sitting in the basement ever since. :(
Real or fictional? What would you like to hear exactly? Real is good. I guess you don't have many Tales of Adventure? What about your sister? She sounds kinda feisty. Did she ever do anything to you? Like pranks or such? Other than getting your head cut on the door?
a clue that there was something wrong?
Yep. My normal weight at the time was about 82 kgs. I lost 14 kgs over 3/4 of a year or so. There was also my incredible, unquenchable thirst and my apparent need to overload the sewers with my urine.
Did she ever do anything to you? Like pranks or such?
Not since we were little kids, I guess. Can't really remember. We sort of grew apart during adolescence because we have such very different personalities. Then when she settled down and had kids, she started asking me to babysit them and we spend more time together. If we weren't family, I doubt we'd be friends though.
you don't have many Tales of Adventure?
Nope. As a kid I always wanted to have adventures but most of those stayed inside my head.
I doubt we'd be friends though. That's too bad.
As a kid I always wanted to have adventures but most of those stayed inside my head. I'd like to hear some if you wouldn't mind. :)
