I'm not sure how to feel about this. This conjures up the image of a tongue coming out of a vagina rather than one going in one. Or all around one. I wonder if that cat can write the alfabet with its tongue? ;P
I would like for them to do some appropriate testing first.
Oh, so would I.
I just don't like the whole 'medicate first' mentality.
Well, this psychotherapist is one of the "talk-first" type ones. He did mention that the medication would be temporary. He's not a psychiatrist so he's not allowed to dispense medicine. My doctor will probably send me to a real shrink.
What about you?
I don't know honestly. There doesn't seem to be the smell of onions. Can't say anything about the taste. Also, no extra layers seem to be present. :)
Well, I think it's hilarious. I love the enthralled eyes. So many ways to use the gif for jokes. ;D
I wonder if that cat can write the alfabet with its tongue? ;P
LOL Ya know, I spent over an hour trying to find the damn illustration of "techniques" that I saw on a tumblr. Unfortunately, I think I saw it several months ago and that person seems to post copiously each day, so I gave up. The cat served my purpose just as well if not better. ;P
The only thing with cats is they have very rough/dry tongues. Dogs have softer/wetter ones. I wouldn't want a cat near my lady parts.(Or a dog, that would be nasty.)

This is the silk scarf/leather elbow patch/posh accent guy?
He did mention that the medication would be temporary.
Okay, that doesn't sound too bad. At least it seems like he's trying to determine the best solution.
My doctor will probably send me to a real shrink.
Why not just work with the one ya got now? (If he's effective, that is.) Sigh, if you go to a real one, then you're back to square one and have to go through all of it again with someone new.
There doesn't seem to be the smell of onions.
So your body doesn't seem to be affected by strong foods? Must be nice. I love asparagus, but it makes my pee stink. Raw onions are the worst for the other reasons. Cumin and turmeric come out my pores all stinky. :/
This is the silk scarf/leather elbow patch/posh accent guy?
Yep.
Why not just work with the one ya got now?
Because he's not a real shrink. There's a strict seperation of therapists/psychologists and psychiatrists in this country. Only psychiatrists are allowed to give medication.
I'm actually kinda okay with taking some kind of meds for a while. I do hope for a comprehensive investigation into any possible physiological problems. Maybe I'm lacking in some kinda substance.
have to go through all of it again with someone new.
I just hate getting my hopes crushed. I don't mind going through the interview process again and again as long as it leads to results.
So your body doesn't seem to be affected by strong foods?
Well, drinkng coffee does make my pee smell like coffee. :)
The only thing with cats is they have very rough/dry tongues.
Have you ever had a cat for a pet? My sister used to have one. A real nasty piece of work. Used to scratch me all the freakin' time.
There's a strict separation...Only psychiatrists are allowed to give medication.
Ah, okay. Same here with the psychiatrist only being allowed to prescribe meds. Regular therapists cannot. I think in some cases therapists can make recommendations to your primary care physician and then they can prescribe something. Not sure about that, though.
I do hope for a comprehensive investigation into any possible physiological problems.
I hope they do that, too. You were diagnosed as Avoidant, yes? Usually social anxiety goes hand in hand with that. Medication might help with the rumination part. It helps break the cycle. In my case I used alcohol to help break the ruminating cycle. Since you are diabetic and actually getting medical care perhaps the meds can do that or you.
as long as it leads to results.
I'm with ya. I want to see you get some positive results. :)
drinkng coffee does make my pee smell like coffee. :)
That's interesting. Could be much worse. ;P
Have you ever had a cat for a pet?
Yes. From the time I was 5 to maybe 9 or 10 we had cats. They were outdoor cats. The first cat was a stray Hemingway tabby. I begged my mother to let me keep him. He was very smart and followed me around like a dog. My evil half bro and the neighbor across the street did something to him and he was never seen again. We had several other cats after him--all strays. When they would have kittens my dad would give them to some dude from work. Eventually my mother who is very self centered and didn't want to be bothered with cats took the remaining ones and dumped them in a neighborhood a few miles away. :/
My sister used to have one. A real nasty piece of work.
Yeah, my sister, too. She had this Siamese that was a nasty bastard. He only let my sister touch him. She also had these 2 Persian/Siamese mix sister-cats. They only liked my sister as well, but the one would let me pet her up to a point.
I'm to the point where I don't want to have pets again. They are too much of an expense now.
Sooooo, Arekinoooooo, what would you do with a wild American woman if she ever got the chance to come or a visit? ;P
I suppose. It's not like I can jump on my private jet and be there in 12 hours or so. ;P
Why do you ask?
Well, it's just that I saw a kinda cool little movie the other night called The Way(Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez)and it was shot on location all over Spain. I was thinking how it would be neat to just travel around seeing the sights. You don't seem to want to travel any farther than Breda, so how would you handle me trying to drag you around to different places? ;D
Do you want me to offer you a fantasy? :)
If you will not let me drag you around sightseeing then I guess you'll have to come up with something then, yes? ;P So what kind of fantasy are you offering? Is it better than adventures with Xul? ;P
I do suffer from an Avoidant disorder so I might try to avoid you.
Aw, c'moooon...you wouldn't want to do that. I'm awesome and my awesomeness compels you. ;P Besides, if the meds work, then you won't be Avoidant any more and then you will want to make up for lost time. ;) (Or I'll just get your sis to do stuff. She seems the adventurous type. ;P)
I might have trouble with letting you go all alone.
See? You're coming around already. :)
I can't believe you don't have any adventurous bones in your body. Would it really be so bad? I mean I'd be there, right? Wouldn't it be easier with a Xul? ;P
You don't think home is the sweetest place to be?
This hell hole? Eff no! (Just got into a major blowup with QoH a few minutes ago over chicken. I had bought 5 packages of boneless skinless chicken breast yesterday since it was on sale and it was as cheap as it will get and it was a name brand/good quality. So by the time we got back from doing the shopping rounds[3.5 hours]I was too tired to deal with it last night. So a while ago I was trying to package it up to freeze. I was going to leave one package to make tonight. After I packaged up the 4 other packages I went to get the mock crab meat that I bought to make crab salad. QoH threw a fit. Why don't you wash the other package now and blah blah blah. She's relentless like getting pecked by an old hen. Just before I dealt with the chicken I had washed the dishes and had to endure QoH's nonstop bitching--2 hours worth if you count the time washing dishes and then dealing with the chicken. So I was quite fed up with enduring hearing her damn mouth and I told her to 'shut the fuck up already' and quit what I was doing and now I'm here writing this. ;) )
I suppose I'll have to go back down there eventually and finish up, but she PISSES ME OFF so BAD! Grrrrrr.... She can never leave me the hell alone to do things my way. She always has to be bossing and micromanaging. 'Oh, you don't use enough soap. You need to wash the chicken first. Do the other chicken now before you do the fish...' Just shut the fuck up already!!! She would totally flip out if someone did that to her, but when I flip out it's 'Oh, you have mental problems!' Gee, I wonder the fuck why? Could it be having to put up with her hypocritical ass for 39 years? Anyone else would be completely batshit insane by now. >:( /rant off
I'd prefer you since I don't know your sis other than a few things you've told me.
I suspect lots of things would be better with a bit of Xul added. :P
I wouldn't mind confirming your suspicions. ;P
Whenever QoH starts bitching/nagging just set it to 5 minutes and when it goes off tell her to STFU. :)
That would *really* start a war. D:
She's just been pissing me off more than usual lately. The other night she came into my room to ask me to do or get something, I don't recall. I was on the laptop and instead of just closing it I made the mistake of mostly closing it, only leaving it cracked a bit so I wouldn't have to go through a restart and password. QoH was standing in the doorway suspiciously taking a keen interest in the baseball game that I had on(she who hates sports). I had that sinking feeling that she was up to something as I went downstairs so I quietly came back up. QoH was trying to quickly put the laptop back in the position that I left it, but I had already caught her in the act. She started accusing me of 'catching me in the act' by my 'guilty look'. Well, it wasn't guilt it was rage and violation, that she'd be presumptuous enough to be looking in my personal property. I had this comments thread page open, but luckily or unluckily I was scrolled to the bottom where the 'Leave your comment' box is. Luckily she didn't get to read the comments, but unluckily she sees the 'Google Account' bit and starts flipping out about me having a google account(because she's paranoid of the govt). I fibbed and said it is a standard blog comment form. If you have an account you can leave a comment with that or do one anonymously. Later on when she was still bitching about it I had another blog I was looking at(another Blogger one)and showed her the comments form. She calmed down and dropped it. I was still so furious at the violation of privacy and that I was so foolish to leave the laptop open to give her the opportunity. I will never give her that opportunity again.
And the fact that she's such a liar irritates me to no end. I don't know if it's purposefully lying or that she is so deluded with her own personal narrative, but either way, it's not the truth. Little things like telling me that she washed the ketchup bottle(when I vividly and distinctly remember doing it myself 2 days ago). When I call her on it, then I'm accused of being petty and having mental problems. Seriously?
Then shit she says trying to make herself seem superior to others. She was on a tirade about my dad's mother not taking my uncle to a doctor when he broke his nose as a kid and how she was cheap and let him suffer through life with a crooked nose. Then QoH brags about she *always* got her kids medical attention first and worried about the cost later. BLATANT LIE. I told you about the time the neighbor kids pushed me off the fence and I sliced my arm on the barbs from just above my wrist all the way across my palm to my forefinger(around 12 or 13cm gash). No doctor for that. I still have the scar on my wrist. And the time I smashed my toe to hell. No doc for that either. Both times she complained that she wasn't going to pay a bill. I could just suffer through those. >:(
She's such a hypocrite and bullshitter. It just makes me furious.
BTW, I watched your wimmenfolk's victory over NZ last night in the Women's World Cup. :) I'm looking forward to watching team USA on Monday. :)
I won't be trolling anyone into something like that. Besides, she claims to have mini ones several times a day. (Regular folks call those headaches. ;) )
Oh, well, never a dull moment around here. Last week when I was mowing the lawn, I came around the front of the house from the back and noticed that there were 6 or 7 cop cars with lights blazing parked in front of the Puerto Rican's house on the corner. They were there for 15 or 20 minutes. I have no idea what happened.
Last night there was a big fire truck called to the hoodlum's house a few houses down on the opposite side of the street. It seemed like they had to come out to patch up the head hoodlum's hand. The mother was shrieking about 'don't take him' meaning don't take him to the hospital as 'it was an accident'. Yeah, right. He looked high off his ass or drunk and likely got into a fight with one of the other dozen or so hoodlums who stay there and likely got stabbed. If they took him to the hospital it would be reported to the police.
Then yesterday before all that excitement, the neighbor's bipolar mother came over to talk to QoH.(She and hubby are down for a visit) I was outside trimming the hedges so naturally QoH had to come out to monitor me like a prison guard overseeing a work-release prisoner. Anyway, that freed me up to not have to listen to QoH's incessant babbling. Well, horror of horrors! The great revelation was that neighbor(bipolar's son)is no longer going to church! I had noticed that for the last few weeks someone was picking up his sis and grandma for church. I just figured his work was making him come in on Sunday, but noooo! He stopped going of his own volition! O: ;P
I also learned that their g-ma is 89 and starting to get Alzheimer's. That's too bad. She's pretty nice. Bipolar also mentioned that they should put her in a nursing home and QoH flipped out over that(One of QoH's biggest fears). ;) She thinks that A should take care of her. Typical. That's what she thinks of me, too. Who needs a life around here? Certainly not me or A! /sarc off
Anyway, I'm going to watch some World Cup in a bit. What have you been up to? Have you gotten an appointment for a real shrinker yet? Have you taken any walks or bike rides? Maybe go do that rappelling thing off that tower in Rotterdam? Or the zip line? ;P
The fire house is about a mile down the street. Normally they would send the ambulance from there, but it was probably already engaged elsewhere(the idiots around here call emergency services for *every* little thing). Since the fire peeps are trained to give first aid, they have to go. So the big truck was probably the only vehicle left at the station.
So he's all alone now Sunday's?
No, he works at his job. Then he comes home for a nap and then goes back out.
Maybe you should pay him a visit then around that time. Maybe have a cup of mate together? :)
That will not be happening. He tried to kiss me one time at a job. I shut that shit down immediately. So inappropriate. Besides, he's 8 years my junior and covered in long golden brown body hair. Grosses me out. ::shudders::
I don't need anyone for caffeine consumption. I'm doing fine on my own. Between all the tea I drink and the Sumatran coffee, I'm sure caffeine is one of the main components in my blood. ;P
Bought some comic-books.
Which ones?
ಠ_ಠ
Aw, c'moooon! It looks like fun! ;P
In other news, Ma Nature is here or her monthly visit. I was unceremoniously awakened this morning by a moderate yet persistent pain in my uterus. I tries to sleep through it, but it was annoying enough that it kept me awake. I got up to go to the bathroom, but QoH was awake in her room with the light on. She keeps her door open so she can monitor my movements. I closed my door back and laid back down in bed. I tried to go back to sleep, but no dice. Eventually, like a half hour later she finally went down stairs and I snuck to the loo. Having relieved the pressure down there, the pain went mostly away. I took some ibuprofen and went back to bed. I ended up sleeping almost to 1pm. QoH came and opened my door then to nastily ask if I was ever going to get up today. The hypocrite used to lay down and sleep all the time years ago when she had her monthly, but she has no empathy for me. :/
Hey, I didn't tell you that I made Chicken Parmesan the other night. I used one package of chicken breasts and cut them in half and pounded them out, then followed the recipe I got off the 'toobs. First time I ever tried to make that. It turned out pretty good. :)
One that has stories of H.P. Lovecraft, one base on the Prometheus movie, one Stormwatch and one Marvel type.
She keeps her door open so she can monitor my movements.
That would not have stopped me from going to the toilet. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? Would she actually bother to get out of bed to tell you not to pee?
I made Chicken Parmesan the other night.
I don't know but chicken with a layer of melted cheese on it? Seems like an odd combination.
Nearly. He and his sister have these big wide hairy eyebrows that look like giant hairy caterpillars. She has a bit of a goatee, too. D:
Speaking of Wookiees...at the Florida Supercon in a couple weeks the guy who played Chewbacka in the movies is one of the many guests appearing there. Nichele Nichols, Emilie De Ravin also just to name a couple off the top of my head. It's mostly peeps I never heard of, though.
stories of H.P. Lovecraft, one base on the Prometheus movie
Those sound pretty good. :D
I mean, what's the worst that could happen?
She would follow me back to my room, talking the whole time, and then get her notebook and start reading me all the notes she took while watching her programs and that could go on for 45 minutes and then I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. :/
Would she actually bother to get out of bed to tell you not to pee?
She wouldn't tell me not to, it's the incessant talking that I want to avoid. Once she gets going, there's no stopping her until she runs out of steam.
Seems like an odd combination.
It also has yummy Italian style tomato sauce. I made noodles to go with it, so it's like eating a yummy Italian noodle dish that happens to have a breaded chicken breast with mozzarella cheese in there. :)
So I take it you haven't done the Euromast thingy? ;D
Well, they are. The art work in both is really good. Lovecrafts' stories are of course classics.
So I take it you haven't done the Euromast thingy?
I've never been to the Euromast. I know it has a restaurant. I'm not afraid of heights so I supposed I wouldn't mind eating there. I will however not basejump from it. :)
Hmm, I hadn't heard that. I guess she's okay if she's making an appearance at a comic convention.
The art work in both is really good.
Cool. That's usually the best part. :)
Lovecrafts' stories are of course classics.
Yes, and very creepy. :) BTW, that reminds me...I forgot to mention that in Salem, the character of Anne Hale when she was doing the ritual to become a witch and her familiar appeared to her(a rat)she named him Brown Jenkins(the familiar of the witch in Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch House). I wonder how far they are going to go with that? That story was super creepy and horrifying(like Salem). ;D
I'm not afraid of heights so I supposed I wouldn't mind eating there.
I looked at the website the other night since I was curious. It looked like a nice restaurant(probably expensive). The tower is like $10 to get in(9,5 euro IIRC).
I will however not basejump from it. :)
No one is asking you to basejump. Your options are rappelling or zip-lining. ;P And IIRC those were like 50-something euros to do. ;P
What fun things have you been doing lately?
I was having a really interesting dream before I woke up. I only remember the last bits of it. I was with this girl I knew from school. Not that this was an important part of the dream, but in real life she had a distinct feature--one blue eye and one green eye. The blue was like sky blue and the green was a light jade green and she was blonde. Anyway, in this dream we were hanging out and doing different things. The last thing I remember was working out in a gym with her. It was all very vivid and detailed. It's strange since I haven't seen her since primary school.
Well, it's all art work, right? The writing AND the drawings (AND the lettering). So yeah, those are all the best parts. :)
And IIRC those were like 50-something euros to do.
I guess as suicide rates go that's pretty cheap. ;P
It's strange since I haven't seen her since primary school.
Maybe you miss having female friends? People to do girl stuff with? Or just to go out with? Have some social fun?
Do you ever listen to the radio? I've been listening to some British panel shows (similar to those on television) on youtube. The generally put comedians in the panels. Usually good for a few laughs. :)
I guess as suicide rates go that's pretty cheap. ;P
I could always buy you some Depends beforehand. ;P
I used to have a zipline in the yard when I was a kid. No safety harness on that one. I'm sure the peeps running the thing at Euromast don't want any paying customers to croak. It'd be bad for business. ;P
Maybe you miss having female friends?
I do, but it's strange to dream of someone who I haven't seen in so long and who I wasn't particularly good friends with.
People to do girl stuff with? Or just to go out with? Have some social fun?
I haven't had much of that, but I would like to have it again. Anyway, the dream was more about me working out and the reasons. Some Ma Nature hormones at work, methinks. ;)
Do you ever listen to the radio?
Sometimes. QoH likes to put the political shows on. I can't help but hear them. ;P
Usually good for a few laughs. :)
I've always liked the British sense of humor the best. :)
I'm looking forward to Team USA wimminz taking on Sweden tonight. Canada and NZ tied last night as well as Germany and Norway. If USA wins(and they should)they'll be sittin' pretty for the next round. :)
I told that effing c**t QoH yesterday that if she had shopping to do, could we please do it early Friday because I wanted to watch the team USA match, but NOOOOOOOO!!!! Bitch farted around, took a looong shower, took for-fucking-ever to apply makeup, and we didn't leave the house until 5:30pm. Long story short: didn't get home until a few minutes before 9pm so I missed the entire 1st half. Grrrrrr...at least it all ended in a scoreless tie so I didn't miss much. :(
Then while out, my cell phone had like eleventy gazillion screaming messages from father-unit that the next door neighbor(underhanded opportunistic cunt)is selling her house and he asked her if she would let him make the first offer. Then he starts in with the 'oh, I'll buy it and you can live there and I'll buy it in your name and you just pay the taxes'. Oy fucking vay. Hoover much? First of all, the neighbor bitch knows what a sucker my dad is and would likely rip him off for more than the house is worth. Number two, I can't buy a house *in my name* because I don't have a job. 3)I can't pay for taxes because I DON'T HAVE A FUCKING JOB. 4) I DON'T WANT TO LIVE NEXT DOOR TO HIM...what a fucking nightmare that would be. 5)He used the excuse that our neighborhood is dangerous, well guess what? His neighborhood is just as shitty. 6) That house is half the size of this one and has practically no yard. 7)I don't want the legal responsibilities of owning a property. 8)Don't you like how he springs all this shit on me without asking my opinion first and then is pressuring me to hurry up and call him back because she's going to sell it and he wants first dibs? Fuck all that. I wish I had normal parents. He's willing to piss big money away on a liability like that but won't give me a damn penny voluntarily. Such bullshit. >:(
I' m going to have to agree with you on that. Buying a house is one of those things that you don't spring on someone. Unless you run a TV show that gifts people houses.
So, you will NOT be going from the frying pan into he fire then?
Hoover much?
I rarely hoover these days. I used to hoover when I lived on my own but now the hoovering is done for me. :P
Yes, an ancient Nokia. It's on an equally ancient family share plan of QoH's, because everything has to be "shared" like fucking conjoined twins or like I'm her effing spouse. Can't have me thinking I'm a separate person or asserting any independence or anything like that. >:(
Unless you run a TV show that gifts people houses.
Haha, I was going to bring that up, but my rant was long enough. Those things seem nice on the surface, but I've heard stories of the ones where they come in and fix up peeps houses to the point where it raises the property value so high that the peeps can't afford the taxes on it and lose the house altogether. Or the shows where they give away new cars, but the peeps can't afford to pay the taxes on the new car so they end up not being able to accept the car. There's always so much legal crap that goes along with everything in this stupid country. :(
So, you will NOT be going from the frying pan into he fire then?
No.
now the hoovering is done for me. :P
Not that kind of hoovering. ;P (BTW, my ex boss' hubby who was English used to refer to it as 'the manly hoovering' when he had to do household chores LOL)
Ya know, it would be nice to have parents who weren't abusive. Paternal unit abuses through financial manipulation and QoH abuses verbally and emotionally. It really effing sucks. >:(
;) BTW, you still owe me a pic. Maybe little Arekino in his soccer kit. ;D ;P
You deserve better. It won't last forever. :)
The selfishness/self-centered-ness is what drives me most nuts. I've suffered 20 years of basically having my adult life stolen because of them, even longer if you count my teenage years. I feel like I've been emotionally and developmentally hobbled by them. I've never been allowed to have a normal life and to grow in a normal way. Now I am the age I am but lack the life experiences that lead to being developmentally normal. That is what pisses me off most. All my peers got to live life and I am still stuck in some kind of limbo. >:(
Maybe it's better to just put this incident behind you and focus on positive things?
This is just the latest and greatest attempt to force contact. He'll be hounding me with this for months/years like he did with the whole watch episode. :/
I'm not sure we have pics of that. There was this one day that a photographer came to take a pic of the team I was in but I'm not in it because I was at home not feeling like playing football that day. I didn't really like doing the sport. It didn't help that my father was our team' s coach/trainer.
Now I am the age I am but lack the life experiences that lead to being developmentally normal.
You're not that abnormal. Actually, you're probably quite normal. You have some awesome willpower and a good sense of humor. And I think you're a quick learner. Once you get out you'll adapt pretty quickly probably.
All my peers got to live life
Well, that is a choice they made. It may have been an easier choice for them but still.
How convenient. I bet you were totally adorable in your little shorts and shin guards and cleats. I think you just don't want me squeeeeee-ing over it. I bet you even had that shaggy hair, too. ;P
I didn't really like doing the sport.
Just that sport in particular or all sports? I guess you would have preferred non sporting activities? I can understand not liking a team dynamic. I was very competitive when I was a kid(probably still am)and it used to piss me off to no end when other team mates would not play hard. I also don't like too much running. That's why I like playing goalie. ;P
It didn't help that my father was our team' s coach/trainer.
Why? Was he overbearing(like QoH)?
a good sense of humor.
The best comedians usually have had the most craptastic lives. They use humor to cover the horror show that is their lives. They have a tendency toward depression. I don't want to end up like Robin Williams. :/
Once you get out you'll adapt pretty quickly probably.
If I get out. :/
Does that bother you?
Yes, it shows a lack of respect for my wishes. Like I told QoH yesterday(and the irony was abounding), it would be nice if he asked me what I wanted first. What he's doing is just the latest and greatest way to force contact. And how convenient would it be for him to have me right next door so he could bother me with niggling bullcrap all day long. Seriously, he annoys me worse than QoH. I've often wondered if he is on the autism spectrum.
I think you just don't want me squeeeeee-ing over it.
Hm, okay, I'll have another look then.
I guess you would have preferred non sporting activities?
It's weird because I always liked gym-class in school. I guess I just got tired of getting out of bed early Saturday mornings to go play football. :)
It was never my choice to join a football club. My father just enrolled me in the club that he was a member of at the time and then he became my team's coach/trainer. My dad was a pretty good football player and I always felt that I was supposed to have the football career that he could not get for himself. That was never going to happen.
Was he overbearing(like QoH)?
No, he was a good coach. My team became champion one year. I never felt at home in that club. Then again, I've never felt at home anywhere.
I don't want to end up like Robin Williams.
You should probably stay away from stretches of looped rope then. :P
If I get out.
How could you not get out someday? It seems inevitable to me.
Like I told QoH yesterday
Why in the world would you discuss that topic with QoH?
Aha! So you like the idea of me squee-ing over pics of you as a kid. ;P
I always liked gym-class in school.
Me too!
I just got tired of getting out of bed early Saturday mornings to go play football. :)
When I was a kid, I would not have liked getting up early on a Saturday, either. I still don't like getting up early at any time, but if I'm getting paid to do so then it lessens the pain a bit. ;)
It was never my choice to join a football club.
Okay, this I can understand. It really pisses me off to not be given a choice. QoH did this to me with piano lessons. I couldn't have cared less about the piano at the age of 5, but QoH had bought an antique piano and I guess it would have given her something to show off/brag about if I played the piano, like a trick pony. Funny how when she wants something she doesn't do it herself, but wants me to do it.
I always felt that I was supposed to have the football career that he could not get for himself. That was never going to happen.
^This. This is like my mother and all the different things she has wanted me to do. Living vicariously through the kid. Never asking what the kid wants or feels about it. >:(
Why in the world would you discuss that topic with QoH?
She would find out eventually and then it would be an even bigger shit storm for me to deal with. Paternal unit is relentless and would likely call the house or come by. He always has to run his mouth. He cannot be discreet to save his life.
Anyway, he has been blowing up my phone with leaving messages. There were like 7 since I told him I wasn't interested the first time. He doesn't take 'no' for an answer and he does not respect my wishes or grasp the fact that my piece of crap cell phone doesn't work at my house because it has become a 'dead zone' with the network coverage even though I've told him several times before.
So the truth finally came out in one of his desperate massages. He is determined to buy that house come hell or high water and the real reason he is so desperate to get my name on it is so he can get it under a "first time buyer" contract if my name is on it which means he can put a smaller down payment. So he is not really doing it to help me, he's doing it to help himself. He's willing to get me legally entangled on something as big a buying a house so he can save a few bucks up front. Not taking into consideration if sometime in the future I am in a position to buy a house that was actually my choice and something I wanted, then I would not qualify as a "first time buyer". He doesn't give a shit what I want. All his messages were "I want, I want" never caring what I want or how any of it affects me. >:(
So you like the idea of me squee-ing over pics of you as a kid.
I kinda like the idea of you squee-ing period. :)
Living vicariously through the kid.
Well, I don't know for sure that's the case with my father.
All his messages were "I want, I want" never caring what I want or how any of it affects me.
Your intuitions were correct then.
I've got some problems with what I think is a pollen allergy. I don't understand why I'm getting this. I never had issues with pollen before a couple of years ago.
I think is a pollen allergy. I don't understand why I'm getting this
Perhaps it's immune system wonkyness. Have you ever had the vitamin and mineral levels in your blood tested for deficiencies? I know that iodine and iodide are good as a general immune booster. Also raw unpasteurized locally sourced honey is a good way to acclimate your body to local pollens, although that is sugar and you are diabetic.
In other news unrelated to parental drama, I managed to get most of the hedges in the yard trimmed. I went all Edward Scissorhands on them. They look really good. :)
My first reaction should be D:, but if you actually have tiger undies then I need to see them. ;P
strike a pose and take a pic of that glorious physique of mine. :D
Maybe not. ;P
Ha! That's what I thought! Don't try to trick me with false advertising! ;)
I probably just don't spend enough time outside.
You need some of that good ol' sunlight for vitamin D. :)
Did you sculpt the hedge in any particular way?
There's one in the front of the house that I do in a globe shape, but the other ones I do as perfectly straight as possible. I have pretty good hand-eye coordination and depth perception. I amazed myself this time around with just how straight everything was. The only thing is it has been really hot lately, so any physical labor outside has me sweating profusely. I was out there for 1.5 hours a time(2 days in a row)and it just wears me out. And my back and arms were killing me from having to hold that hedge trimmer extended outward and leaning over to reach.
being exposed to the natural environment will probably decrease my over-sensitivity to it.
I suppose so. Get out there and have at it then! ;P
Aren't you worried your skin will grow old quicker with all that time in the sun?
I usually wait until afternoon. We have a lot of trees in the yard so I try to start my work in the shady areas first. I always wear pants and a t-shirt that covers down to my elbows and a hat. If I absolutely must work in the sun I'll put on some sunscreen. Anyway, it has been cloudy lately, so when I was doing the hedges I didn't have to worry about the sun. When I mowed yesterday, I waited until after 6pm. So I guess my answer would be yes and no. I don't want to look like tanned leather so I take plenty of precautions to prevent that. :)
Maybe you're doing something wrong?
Nah, I just get sore from overuse. Doing too much in a short amount of time.
It wouldn't be so bad if I had someone who could bring some sunflower oil over and give me a full body massage afterward. ;P
I shall commence by rubbing my face in the dirt and licking some trees. :)
It wouldn't be so bad if...
You think you could handle a full body massage? When was the last time anyone touched your body? I find that just shaking hands with someone is weird. The last time anyone touched my private parts, I must have been a child, getting a check-up by a doctor. No, wait, the last time was when I had appendicitis (20 yrs ago) and one of the female nurses had to shave me down there to prepare me for surgery. And I suppose there was the prostate exam some months ago.
Have you ever been to a gynecologist? That has to be an odd experience.
Sure. I love massages. I've often wondered how good our old friend Pet is at it. ;P
When was the last time anyone touched your body?
It has definitely been a while.
I find that just shaking hands with someone is weird.
For some reason, I'll let just about anyone give me a back message. I seem to carry stress in my shoulders and back and getting relief is just wonderful. It just feels too good to turn one down. Fortunately for me I've worked with a lot of Hispanics who have a very demonstrative touchy feely culture. If you mention your back hurts there is usually someone to jump in and give you a shoulder rub. I used to work with this one gay guy who actually did message therapy as a side job(I later found out when I told him he should do it professionally LOL). One time when I was maybe 19 or 20, I was complaining about my back and one of the chefs gave me probably a 10 minute massage as I sat Indian style on the prep table. QoH was really pissed about that. LOL ;P BTW, he was really good at it, probably one of the best I've had. ;D
one of the female nurses had to shave me down there to prepare me for surgery.
How was that for you? That could be kinda hot if you weren't gonna have surgery afterward. ;P
And I suppose there was the prostate exam some months ago.
That's definitely not hot. :/
Have you ever been to a gynecologist?
Nope. The last time I was at a doctor of any kind was at the Urgent Care probably 12 years ago for an ear infection after someone at work spilled a tray of Cokes on me. Some went down my ear and it really sucked.
I went with QoH to her gyno appt a few years ago. Old peeps are supposed to go to different docs for all their checkups. It was really gross and TMI. Not something I'd voluntarily do myself. :/
I was quite distracted by the pain in my abdomen and the sharpness of the razor she used. It was weird having some unknown woman handle my junk. She was very professional about it.
It was really gross and TMI.
You mean you were there during the examination? That's... ehm... awkward, I'd say.
It was weird having some unknown woman handle my junk.
How would you feel about a known woman handling your junk? ;P All kidding aside, how would you feel at this point in your life if some nice woman was interested in you? Are you still in keep away! mode or would you be more amenable?
She was very professional about it.
Well at least you didn't have to deal with some cheesy porno situation. ;P
You mean you were there during the examination?
Yep.
That's... ehm... awkward, I'd say.
Yep. I'm required to be there for all awkward situations since I am an extension of her. :/
how's your weekend going so far?
I have free HBO and Cinemax(15 channels worth)for the weekend so I've been watching some movies. I got to see the last 2 episodes of S5 Game of Thrones. :) Unfortunately they did not show episode 8 which was supposed to be the best one of S5. :/
I watched Lone Survivor last night. At the risk of getting my citizenship revoked(which is not much of a threat to me ;P), I must say I totally hated it. It only reinforced my opinion of those involved that they were stupid, made poor decisions, and were douchebags.
I also saw Gone Girl which was much discussed on the PD forum. I did not find it as triggering or disturbing as the peeps on that forum. The chick was most definitely a Narcissistic Sociopath and the dude def had some PD traits, but I didn't think it was as good as peeps seem to think. It wasn't bad, just a little overrated and there seemed to be some plot holes IMO.
Friday night I saw A Walk Among The Tombstones with Liam Neeson. While it was a pretty decent movie, Neeson is such a hypocrite making shoot 'em up movies and being anti guns.
I also saw Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. It was a cross between Groundhog day and a octopus-like space alien invasion shoot 'em up. I actually liked it. :) While I don't usually care much for him, Tom Cruise isn't so bad in those sorts of movies.
Right now I'm trying to watch Her. It just started a few minutes ago, but QoH came in to interrupt so I had to flip the channel just in case there was swearing or sex stuff. That is guaranteed to set QoH off on a rant/tirade. :/ Actually, she managed to interrupt all the movies I was trying to watch with the exception of Edge of Tomorrow, so all of them I missed a few minutes of. :/
Are you still in keep away! mode or would you be more amenable?
I'll always have to get to know them first and getting to know them takes a lot of time in my case. Which means any woman will most likely think I won't ever be interested in her and move on to another guy.
Well at least you didn't have to deal with some cheesy porno situation.
Yeah... I don't like cheesy porn... at all... ;P
Neeson is such a hypocrite making shoot 'em up movies and being anti guns.
That wouldn't make him a hypocrite, I think. He's FOR guns in movies and AGAINST guns in real life. Fantasy opposite Reality.
Right now I'm trying to watch Her.
It's an interesting movie. Do you think you could get that attached to an AI? I mean, she's just a voice from a box in the movie.
Edge of Tomorrow
Yeah, seen that. It's not bad. Did you spot the groundhog? :)
I'll always have to get to know them first and getting to know them takes a lot of time in my case.
Yeah, me too. Are you the type who in general doesn't have an immediate physical attraction? I always found it odd when peeps I know would declare someone to be hot and want to f*** 'em. That has always puzzled me. Why would you want to do that with someone you don't know? I have to know someone first for a long time usually before I can have a sexual attraction. I read a while back that there is actually a term for that but I don't remember what it is or where I read it.
That wouldn't make him a hypocrite
Yes he is. He makes millions of dollars portraying something he's against in real life. I hate marijuana. I would not make movies portraying characters like Cheech and Chong for a living. I'd feel like a massive hypocrite. I don't care that it's fantasy. It's not my values.
Do you think you could get that attached to an AI?
No. I prefer real people, even if they are on the 'toobs. Besides, Scarlett Johanssons's voice got on my nerves. It was an interesting movie, though. Kinda sad.
Did you spot the groundhog? :)
No. I wasn't paying close attention.
It seems I still have the freebies until tonight, but it doesn't look like there's anything on that interests me. I will be watching the USWNT Wimminz World Cup soccer match tonight, though. :)
I got to catch a couple of Germany's matches. They are really good. Definitely earned their #1 ranking.
Are you the type who in general doesn't have an immediate physical attraction?
No, there can be a physical attraction but I also need the familiarity or it's a no go.
He makes millions of dollars portraying something he's against in real life.
Which is what? Vigilantism? I haven't heard him say he's for or against that. As far as I know, what his character did in the Taken movies is illegal in most countries. He also didn't say he's against guns in general (or self-defense) just that there are too many guns in the US.
I wonder if the actor who played Darth Vader is against blowing up planets in real life. ;P
I hate marijuana.
"Hate" seems like a really strong word here. Do you also "hate" alcohol? That gets more people killed per year.
Scarlett Johanssons's voice got on my nerves.
Really? I rather like her voice. Kinda husky. Kinda sexy. :)
No. I wasn't paying close attention.
I was just kidding. There's no groundhog in there AFAIK. Seems like they should have put one in there though. :)
I will be watching the USWNT Wimminz World Cup soccer match
My father likes to watch those matches. He an avid soccer fan though.
There are not too many. Peeps who spend money to own them legally are not the problem. The problem lies in the criminal element. The criminals would find a way to have them regardless. Just look at all the EU countries where the citizenry cannot have them and yet nuts always seem to find a way to get some and go on a killing spree(like the Charlie Hebdo thing and Anders Brevik). I'd rather be prepared. Nothing ventilates a burglar or terrorist quite like some 12 gauge buckshot. ;P
Do you also "hate" alcohol?
No, because it does not make me violently ill like MJ.
Kinda husky. Kinda sexy. :)
Meh. It would have been better with Shirley Manson from Garbage. Sexy Scottish accent, that one. Could read the phone book and make it sexy. Or Lana Parrilla dropping her voice an octave doing the EQ thing. ;P
Seems like they should have put one in there though. :)
Yeah, since it was a straight ripoff of GD. :)
My father likes to watch those matches.
Has he been doing the "slumber party" thing? I heard on one of the WC shows that peeps over there were having slumber party watch parties because of the time difference. ;P I guess he's happy that your wimminz managed to squeak by into the next round? US wimminz better get their shit together. They've been winning but they look like crap. Last night vs Columbia they were getting outplayed until that red card by the Colombian goalie. Even with the man advantage they couldn't get anything going. I think it's because of Jill Ellis' coaching. I'd have them on a 4-3-3 instead of that hot mess she's got going. And her choices in who's starting and who's subbing in puzzles me. :/
BTW, I had THE WEIRDEST AREKINO/OOSTERHOUT DREAM before I woke up. It was like I was stuck in dream land and couldn't wake up. Just weird. :/
The criminals would find a way to have them regardless.
If criminals have guns does that not mean that there are too many guns? :)
yet nuts always seem to find a way to get some and go on a killing spree
Most nuts in the EU don't go on a killing spree (even if they wanted to) because they don't have guns. That's why the EU has much fewer killing sprees than the US.
Nothing ventilates a burglar or terrorist quite like some 12 gauge buckshot.
This is also true for gun owners who don't get to fire the first shot.
because it does not make me violently ill like MJ.
And that's the reason you wouldn't make a Cheech and Chong movie? Because MJ makes you throw up? How do you go from personal physical inconvenience to general moral outrage?
Has he been doing the "slumber party" thing?
Not as far as I know. Wouldn't put it past him. :)
Better luck next time.
Yeah, the Japs beat them, I think? Too bad.
I had THE WEIRDEST AREKINO/OOSTERHOUT DREAM before I woke up.
If criminals have guns does that not mean that there are too many guns? :)
No. If they didn't have guns they'd resort to some other savagery like hacking people with machetes(like that POS did to that Korean woman in NYC a couple days ago). I'd rather risk a gunshot than be hacked to pieces by a machete. Most of these shitbags are terrible shots.
I'm tired of arguing these things. It's not fun on a comments thread since I have to wait so long between responses. I'm no longer fired up.
How do you go from personal physical inconvenience to general moral outrage?
There's more to it than that. The shit smells like hell and it bothers other people like with cigarette smoke. It makes the stupid even stupider by killing brain cells, then I have to deal with even stupider idiots out in public. And it's not less harmless than alcohol because I've personally known someone who was seriously injured in a car crash by someone who was driving high off his ass and ran a red light and t-boned this lady's car.
Wouldn't put it past him. :)
Ha! That's what I thought!
the Japs beat them, I think?
Yeah, 2-1. They basically played D the whole first half. The Japs scored just shy of 10 minutes in and were pressuring the rest of the time. The second half Oranje came out with some fire under their asses and were getting a lot of good chances but couldn't get any luck. They finally got a lucky one to go in off the Jap goalie's misplay of the ball in stoppage time, but there was maybe only a minute left so no real time to do anything.
What was it about?
Well, I was hanging out with you and your family apparently. I think I had just got in town and was very tired and wanted to lay down in a bed and go to sleep. There were lots of beds in your house but all were occupied by someone. I don't think they were peeps in your immediate family but guests somehow. Then your father wanted you and me to go out to a store with him. I don't remember what happened after that. I remember something about the outside of your building being refinished with what looked like glass to make it look like a fancy glass office building instead of the brick. There was lot's of cut glass pieces littering the ground around the walkway to get back into the building(it looked like an apartment building in the dream, not the actual one you live in)and you told me to watch my step as the glass was laying all around.
It was one of those weird dreams that I was aware that I was dreaming but not controlling any of the actions. I was really tired from the previous day. I had mopped the floors in the house among other things. My body was worn out and didn't want to wake up. It felt like being caught in a loop.
I had another weird one last night. I dreamed of going to a beach in "Palm Beach" although it looked like nothing in Palm Beach. It looked more like a little cove along the Intracoastal. There was a narrow strip of white sand along the water(looked more like a canal)and the water was by a cut leading to the ocean. The water was clear and you could see the rocks and colorful plants at the bottom like on a reef. I remember diving in like a pro and not making a big splash when I went in, then gliding under the water a bit before I came up to the surface. When I did, I realized that the water smelled nasty like sulphur or mangrove water, and then I hurried to get out. That's about all I remember from that one. :/
Oy, had another weird one that woke me up at 8am. I was dreaming of riding in my car, but my parental units were in the front and I was in the middle of the back seat. Paternal unit was driving. As IRL, his driving was absolutely terrifying. I remember saying something to him about it, then suddenly he wanted to make a left turn. The road we were on had 3 lanes in either direction plus a turn lane. He was impatient as always and tried to squeeze through oncoming traffic. He nearly crashed into 2 oncoming cars but turned so hard that he made a U-turn and was headed into a gas station. On the sidewalk of the gas station was a family walking. The 2 toddlers were walking in front of the mother and a couple older looking kids by a few paces. He nearly mowed down the 2 toddlers. They managed to not get hit somehow. Then I woke up with a start. :/
Of course since I was then up, I had to pee but QoH was up watching TV in her room with the door open. I waited until the central AC came back on since it's loud and right by my bedroom door to give me cover to sneak to my bathroom. I managed to get there and back without squeaking the floorboards, then I had trouble falling back asleep. I was finally rudely reawakened by QoH around noon. :/
As usual I have to admire the creativity and detail your brain puts into your dreams.
I just wish there was some device to put all of those things directly to text. Sometimes I lie half awake in bed thinking of great story ideas but they disappear before I have a chance to write them down or I can't remember exactly what I was thinking of. :/
Can't really say that I see what those dreams mean though.
That's too bad. I enjoy your dream analyses. :)
I have a good idea about the car dream, though. :/
zero confidence in your father.
I have some stories of things he's done while driving that would really make you shake your head and some that would likely piss you off. :/
You have your own bathroom?
There are 2 in this house. One is an en suite to QoH's bedroom and the other is in the hall around the corner from my bedroom. I consider that one to be "mine".
Well, once again, QoH wanted to go grocery shopping today but dicked around all day until 7pm when we finally left. She knew I wanted to watch the USWNT match vs China. She simply doesn't give a shit. At least she dicked around long enough so that I was able to watch Frants vs Teutons in it's entirety even the PKs. That was a pretty good game. I thought the Frogs were going to win, but am glad the Krauts won. I've had too much of an English upbringing to want the Frogs to win anything. ;P
The one good thing about leaving a 7pm was that I didn't have to waste too much video tape in taping the game. The ancient TV/VCR combo that I use to record things has lost it's original remote so I can't program the thing to record, it'll only record if you manually press the record button. Anyway, the game was scheduled to start at 7:30pm so not too bad. Of course, we managed to return around 9:30 when the game was ending so I saw that USA won 1-0. I'm watching it from the beginning right now. USA played much better than the 1-0 outcome. They had a hell of a lot of good chances. They played really well even with Rapinoe and Holiday suspended for the game.
BTW, I was just curious...when you had your appendectomy, why the hell was the nurse handling your junk? I understand shaving your pubes since the appendix would be on your lower right side hanging off the sigmoid colon, but did she shave your kiwis, too? That seems awfully thorough. ;P
Don't you think you're way to comfortable with her not giving a shit?
Definitely. I've been putting up with it my whole life so it is normal to me.
Surely there's a manual way of doing so?
Unfortunately no. I would have found it by now if there were. :/
At least the semi-final game is on Tuesday, so it is unlikely that QoH will want to go anywhere then, but with her you never know. :/
How is your weather? It has turned from sunny and hot to rainy and hot here. :/ The last sunny day(Thursday)would have been a really great beach day. As it is, I don't mind the rain and clouds since it keeps things slightly cooler and the AC doesn't have to run as much.
What kind of idiot manufacturer makes a VCR that can only be controlled by remote? That's just criminal. What about buying a new or second hand remote? Seems hard to believe that you can't get one off the Internetz.
but with her you never know
Maybe you can hide her shoes? :D Don't tell me she goes barefoot. ;P
How is your weather?
It's quite warm. An actual heatwave is predicted for next week. I don't buy it but I guess you never know.
the AC doesn't have to run as much.
The AC's still working then? Have you inspected it lately?
Toshiba apparently. The funny thing is, I used to really like Toshiba. I had a couple other Toshiba VCRs and still have the remotes from them, but they won't control the onscreen programming. They control most of the other functions, though. The stupid unit has the basic playback buttons(play, FF, RW, ect). It's quite maddening.
What about buying a new or second hand remote?
I have a couple of those universal remotes around here somewhere, it's just a matter of finding the code books. :/
Maybe you can hide her shoes?
If I did something like that there would be a massive explosions from her. It'd likely make the national news. ;P
An actual heatwave is predicted for next week.
:O
I don't buy it but I guess you never know.
Yeah, our weather peeps lie a lot, too. It's the only job where you can be wrong all the time and still keep your job. ;)
The AC's still working then? Have you inspected it lately?
Yep. Ya know, I never got to clean the coils. They weren't dirty on the top sides and only dirty on the one bottom side. QoH won't let me turn the damn thing off or long enough to do the job since she's such a spoiled ol' queen and can't bare to be hot for a few minutes. I'm going to have to insist on doing it eventually to avoid further problems. :/
How's the FF going? Still no inspiration?
I feel kinda bad whenever I get new favorites and follows on Hard At Work. It's the little 2,000 word story that just keeps going. :)
I *was* thinking of 2 different things that would be doable for me. One is an idea for Regina and Emma doing TV and movie reviews. That I have some ideas for and would be really funny. The other is sort of a continuance or sequel to Hard At Work. I'm reluctant to mess with HaW since it's damn near perfect on its own. The concept I had would be Regina spying on Emma while Emma is supposed to be working at the Sheriff's Station. I thought I could have Regina turn herself into a black cat so that she could spy much easier. I meant to ask you if you had any ideas for what Emma could be up to? ;P
I just think Dutch weather is too damn fickle to predict. ;P
So predictably unpredictable? ;P
Funny is good. :)
I'm best at funny. I already have an idea for the TV/movie review one. I've actually had it for a long time ever since the penultimate episode of Mad Men. ;D
Furry style? ;P
An actual cat, not dressed as a cat(although there are probably a lot of peeps who would like to see her in a vinyl, latex, or leather catsuit ;P). I'm not entering the world of furries(I can already hear Regina's voice saying "That would be ridiculous" or "This is completely ridiculous, Miss Swan"). ;P
I'm going to have to reread HaW first to answer that question.
The common theme is she's usually goofing off in some way. Like tossing wadded up paper into the wastebasket "shooting hoops", or asleep at her desk, or in one of the cells sleeping, or playing Solitaire on the computer. There is always a stack of paperwork that she has been putting off dealing with. I had an idea that the Sheriff's station has a small makeshift weight room in the back locker room area left over from Graham's stint as Sheriff. He had to maintain his physique since he was Regina's boy toy. Perhaps Emma is back there lifting weights or hitting the punching bag. Then there will be some interactions with cat Regina. I'm going to have to remember back a loooong way to when I had cats and remember cat mannerisms.
I don't really remember her being irresponsible in the actual show, but somehow it's become unofficial canon in FF. FF is a lot more interesting and coherent than the show, so it's easier to go with FF themes.
Feels like I haven't seen OUAT in years.
There's always Netflix. ;P (I guess Dutch peeps were smart enough to stop airing the show after it started getting really ridiculous. ;))
write about what you know as much as you can. :)
That is the easiest way to write. :)
You've got loads of your own. :)
I have some. The TV review one especially. I think I'm going to approach it as a sort of series of drabbles so I don't have to worry about doing full length stories. As a series I can do a bunch of basically the same story. I have a good idea for the Mad Men one and one for MMA. Also Game of Thrones is another and perhaps one for Her.
I think I'm just going to let you do all the heavy lifting
Speaking of...I did a pretty good workout on Saturday and another one last night. I've been trying to regularly do at least 100 situps and 100 pushups. I also did some obliques and leg extensions for by ab routine. Soon I'm going to look like some sort of super hero. ;P
I was watching Million Dollar Baby last night and it helped to motivate me. ;)

I'm not sure how to feel about this. This conjures up the image of a tongue coming out of a vagina rather than one going in one. Or all around one. I wonder if that cat can write the alfabet with its tongue? ;P
I would like for them to do some appropriate testing first.
Oh, so would I.
I just don't like the whole 'medicate first' mentality.
Well, this psychotherapist is one of the "talk-first" type ones. He did mention that the medication would be temporary. He's not a psychiatrist so he's not allowed to dispense medicine.
My doctor will probably send me to a real shrink.
What about you?
I don't know honestly. There doesn't seem to be the smell of onions. Can't say anything about the taste. Also, no extra layers seem to be present. :)
I'm not sure how to feel about this.
Well, I think it's hilarious. I love the enthralled eyes. So many ways to use the gif for jokes. ;D
I wonder if that cat can write the alfabet with its tongue? ;P
LOL Ya know, I spent over an hour trying to find the damn illustration of "techniques" that I saw on a tumblr. Unfortunately, I think I saw it several months ago and that person seems to post copiously each day, so I gave up. The cat served my purpose just as well if not better. ;P
The only thing with cats is they have very rough/dry tongues. Dogs have softer/wetter ones. I wouldn't want a cat near my lady parts.(Or a dog, that would be nasty.)
this psychotherapist is one of the "talk-first" type ones
This is the silk scarf/leather elbow patch/posh accent guy?
He did mention that the medication would be temporary.
Okay, that doesn't sound too bad. At least it seems like he's trying to determine the best solution.
My doctor will probably send me to a real shrink.
Why not just work with the one ya got now? (If he's effective, that is.) Sigh, if you go to a real one, then you're back to square one and have to go through all of it again with someone new.
There doesn't seem to be the smell of onions.
So your body doesn't seem to be affected by strong foods? Must be nice. I love asparagus, but it makes my pee stink. Raw onions are the worst for the other reasons. Cumin and turmeric come out my pores all stinky. :/
This is the silk scarf/leather elbow patch/posh accent guy?
Yep.
Why not just work with the one ya got now?
Because he's not a real shrink. There's a strict seperation of therapists/psychologists and psychiatrists in this country. Only psychiatrists are allowed to give medication.
I'm actually kinda okay with taking some kind of meds for a while. I do hope for a comprehensive investigation into any possible physiological problems. Maybe I'm lacking in some kinda substance.
have to go through all of it again with someone new.
I just hate getting my hopes crushed. I don't mind going through the interview process again and again as long as it leads to results.
So your body doesn't seem to be affected by strong foods?
Well, drinkng coffee does make my pee smell like coffee. :)
The only thing with cats is they have very rough/dry tongues.
Have you ever had a cat for a pet? My sister used to have one. A real nasty piece of work. Used to scratch me all the freakin' time.
There's a strict separation...Only psychiatrists are allowed to give medication.
Ah, okay. Same here with the psychiatrist only being allowed to prescribe meds. Regular therapists cannot. I think in some cases therapists can make recommendations to your primary care physician and then they can prescribe something. Not sure about that, though.
I do hope for a comprehensive investigation into any possible physiological problems.
I hope they do that, too. You were diagnosed as Avoidant, yes? Usually social anxiety goes hand in hand with that. Medication might help with the rumination part. It helps break the cycle. In my case I used alcohol to help break the ruminating cycle. Since you are diabetic and actually getting medical care perhaps the meds can do that or you.
as long as it leads to results.
I'm with ya. I want to see you get some positive results. :)
drinkng coffee does make my pee smell like coffee. :)
That's interesting. Could be much worse. ;P
Have you ever had a cat for a pet?
Yes. From the time I was 5 to maybe 9 or 10 we had cats. They were outdoor cats. The first cat was a stray Hemingway tabby. I begged my mother to let me keep him. He was very smart and followed me around like a dog. My evil half bro and the neighbor across the street did something to him and he was never seen again. We had several other cats after him--all strays. When they would have kittens my dad would give them to some dude from work. Eventually my mother who is very self centered and didn't want to be bothered with cats took the remaining ones and dumped them in a neighborhood a few miles away. :/
My sister used to have one. A real nasty piece of work.
Yeah, my sister, too. She had this Siamese that was a nasty bastard. He only let my sister touch him. She also had these 2 Persian/Siamese mix sister-cats. They only liked my sister as well, but the one would let me pet her up to a point.
I'm to the point where I don't want to have pets again. They are too much of an expense now.
Sooooo, Arekinoooooo, what would you do with a wild American woman if she ever got the chance to come or a visit? ;P
Could be much worse.
Yeah, it could smell like pee. ;P
what would you do with a wild American woman if she ever got the chance to come or a visit?
Depends. Would I be on my meds by that time? ;P
Why do you ask? Do you want me to offer you a fantasy? :)
Depends. Would I be on my meds by that time? ;P
I suppose. It's not like I can jump on my private jet and be there in 12 hours or so. ;P
Why do you ask?
Well, it's just that I saw a kinda cool little movie the other night called The Way(Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez)and it was shot on location all over Spain. I was thinking how it would be neat to just travel around seeing the sights. You don't seem to want to travel any farther than Breda, so how would you handle me trying to drag you around to different places? ;D
Do you want me to offer you a fantasy? :)
If you will not let me drag you around sightseeing then I guess you'll have to come up with something then, yes? ;P So what kind of fantasy are you offering? Is it better than adventures with Xul? ;P
so how would you handle me trying to drag you around to different places?
Well, I do suffer from an Avoidant disorder so I might try to avoid you. Then again, I might have trouble with letting you go all alone.
Is it better than adventures with Xul?
Of course not. Nothing's better than that. ;)
You don't think home is the sweetest place to be? Okay, without QoH, of course. :)
I do suffer from an Avoidant disorder so I might try to avoid you.
Aw, c'moooon...you wouldn't want to do that. I'm awesome and my awesomeness compels you. ;P Besides, if the meds work, then you won't be Avoidant any more and then you will want to make up for lost time. ;) (Or I'll just get your sis to do stuff. She seems the adventurous type. ;P)
I might have trouble with letting you go all alone.
See? You're coming around already. :)
I can't believe you don't have any adventurous bones in your body. Would it really be so bad? I mean I'd be there, right? Wouldn't it be easier with a Xul? ;P
You don't think home is the sweetest place to be?
This hell hole? Eff no! (Just got into a major blowup with QoH a few minutes ago over chicken. I had bought 5 packages of boneless skinless chicken breast yesterday since it was on sale and it was as cheap as it will get and it was a name brand/good quality. So by the time we got back from doing the shopping rounds[3.5 hours]I was too tired to deal with it last night. So a while ago I was trying to package it up to freeze. I was going to leave one package to make tonight. After I packaged up the 4 other packages I went to get the mock crab meat that I bought to make crab salad. QoH threw a fit. Why don't you wash the other package now and blah blah blah. She's relentless like getting pecked by an old hen. Just before I dealt with the chicken I had washed the dishes and had to endure QoH's nonstop bitching--2 hours worth if you count the time washing dishes and then dealing with the chicken. So I was quite fed up with enduring hearing her damn mouth and I told her to 'shut the fuck up already' and quit what I was doing and now I'm here writing this. ;) )
I suppose I'll have to go back down there eventually and finish up, but she PISSES ME OFF so BAD! Grrrrrr.... She can never leave me the hell alone to do things my way. She always has to be bossing and micromanaging. 'Oh, you don't use enough soap. You need to wash the chicken first. Do the other chicken now before you do the fish...' Just shut the fuck up already!!! She would totally flip out if someone did that to her, but when I flip out it's 'Oh, you have mental problems!' Gee, I wonder the fuck why? Could it be having to put up with her hypocritical ass for 39 years? Anyone else would be completely batshit insane by now. >:( /rant off
Or I'll just get your sis to do stuff.
That may work. :)
Wouldn't it be easier with a Xul?
I suspect lots of things would be better with a bit of Xul added. :P
had to endure QoH's nonstop bitching--2 hours worth
Do you have one of those cook timers? Whenever QoH starts bitching/nagging just set it to 5 minutes and when it goes off tell her to STFU. :)
That may work. :)
I'd prefer you since I don't know your sis other than a few things you've told me.
I suspect lots of things would be better with a bit of Xul added. :P
I wouldn't mind confirming your suspicions. ;P
Whenever QoH starts bitching/nagging just set it to 5 minutes and when it goes off tell her to STFU. :)
That would *really* start a war. D:
She's just been pissing me off more than usual lately. The other night she came into my room to ask me to do or get something, I don't recall. I was on the laptop and instead of just closing it I made the mistake of mostly closing it, only leaving it cracked a bit so I wouldn't have to go through a restart and password. QoH was standing in the doorway suspiciously taking a keen interest in the baseball game that I had on(she who hates sports). I had that sinking feeling that she was up to something as I went downstairs so I quietly came back up. QoH was trying to quickly put the laptop back in the position that I left it, but I had already caught her in the act. She started accusing me of 'catching me in the act' by my 'guilty look'. Well, it wasn't guilt it was rage and violation, that she'd be presumptuous enough to be looking in my personal property. I had this comments thread page open, but luckily or unluckily I was scrolled to the bottom where the 'Leave your comment' box is. Luckily she didn't get to read the comments, but unluckily she sees the 'Google Account' bit and starts flipping out about me having a google account(because she's paranoid of the govt). I fibbed and said it is a standard blog comment form. If you have an account you can leave a comment with that or do one anonymously. Later on when she was still bitching about it I had another blog I was looking at(another Blogger one)and showed her the comments form. She calmed down and dropped it. I was still so furious at the violation of privacy and that I was so foolish to leave the laptop open to give her the opportunity. I will never give her that opportunity again.
And the fact that she's such a liar irritates me to no end. I don't know if it's purposefully lying or that she is so deluded with her own personal narrative, but either way, it's not the truth. Little things like telling me that she washed the ketchup bottle(when I vividly and distinctly remember doing it myself 2 days ago). When I call her on it, then I'm accused of being petty and having mental problems. Seriously?
Then shit she says trying to make herself seem superior to others. She was on a tirade about my dad's mother not taking my uncle to a doctor when he broke his nose as a kid and how she was cheap and let him suffer through life with a crooked nose. Then QoH brags about she *always* got her kids medical attention first and worried about the cost later. BLATANT LIE. I told you about the time the neighbor kids pushed me off the fence and I sliced my arm on the barbs from just above my wrist all the way across my palm to my forefinger(around 12 or 13cm gash). No doctor for that. I still have the scar on my wrist. And the time I smashed my toe to hell. No doc for that either. Both times she complained that she wasn't going to pay a bill. I could just suffer through those. >:(
She's such a hypocrite and bullshitter. It just makes me furious.
BTW, I watched your wimmenfolk's victory over NZ last night in the Women's World Cup. :) I'm looking forward to watching team USA on Monday. :)
That would *really* start a war.
Not that I' m suggesting anything but it seems to me that QoH would be so easy to troll into a stroke. ;P
I don't know if it's purposefully lying or that she is so deluded with her own personal narrative
Probably both.
Both times she complained that she wasn't going to pay a bill.
I remember that. Stupid QoH.
I won't be trolling anyone into something like that. Besides, she claims to have mini ones several times a day. (Regular folks call those headaches. ;) )
Oh, well, never a dull moment around here. Last week when I was mowing the lawn, I came around the front of the house from the back and noticed that there were 6 or 7 cop cars with lights blazing parked in front of the Puerto Rican's house on the corner. They were there for 15 or 20 minutes. I have no idea what happened.
Last night there was a big fire truck called to the hoodlum's house a few houses down on the opposite side of the street. It seemed like they had to come out to patch up the head hoodlum's hand. The mother was shrieking about 'don't take him' meaning don't take him to the hospital as 'it was an accident'. Yeah, right. He looked high off his ass or drunk and likely got into a fight with one of the other dozen or so hoodlums who stay there and likely got stabbed. If they took him to the hospital it would be reported to the police.
Then yesterday before all that excitement, the neighbor's bipolar mother came over to talk to QoH.(She and hubby are down for a visit) I was outside trimming the hedges so naturally QoH had to come out to monitor me like a prison guard overseeing a work-release prisoner. Anyway, that freed me up to not have to listen to QoH's incessant babbling. Well, horror of horrors! The great revelation was that neighbor(bipolar's son)is no longer going to church! I had noticed that for the last few weeks someone was picking up his sis and grandma for church. I just figured his work was making him come in on Sunday, but noooo! He stopped going of his own volition! O: ;P
I also learned that their g-ma is 89 and starting to get Alzheimer's. That's too bad. She's pretty nice. Bipolar also mentioned that they should put her in a nursing home and QoH flipped out over that(One of QoH's biggest fears). ;) She thinks that A should take care of her. Typical. That's what she thinks of me, too. Who needs a life around here? Certainly not me or A! /sarc off
Anyway, I'm going to watch some World Cup in a bit. What have you been up to? Have you gotten an appointment for a real shrinker yet? Have you taken any walks or bike rides? Maybe go do that rappelling thing off that tower in Rotterdam? Or the zip line? ;P
Yay! USA wimminz won! My "GF" Rapinoe got 2 goals! LOL ;D
and likely got stabbed
So why the fire truck?
He stopped going of his own volition!
So he's all alone now Sunday's? Maybe you should pay him a visit then around that time. Maybe have a cup of mate together? :)
BTW Caffeine combats stress, has potential to prevent depression, memory loss, new study finds
What have you been up to?
Bought some comic-books. Been reading them.
Have you gotten an appointment for a real shrinker yet?
Nah.
Have you taken any walks or bike rides?
Just some short walks.
Maybe go do that rappelling thing off that tower in Rotterdam? Or the zip line? ;P
ಠ_ಠ
So why the fire truck?
The fire house is about a mile down the street. Normally they would send the ambulance from there, but it was probably already engaged elsewhere(the idiots around here call emergency services for *every* little thing). Since the fire peeps are trained to give first aid, they have to go. So the big truck was probably the only vehicle left at the station.
So he's all alone now Sunday's?
No, he works at his job. Then he comes home for a nap and then goes back out.
Maybe you should pay him a visit then around that time. Maybe have a cup of mate together? :)
That will not be happening. He tried to kiss me one time at a job. I shut that shit down immediately. So inappropriate. Besides, he's 8 years my junior and covered in long golden brown body hair. Grosses me out. ::shudders::
I don't need anyone for caffeine consumption. I'm doing fine on my own. Between all the tea I drink and the Sumatran coffee, I'm sure caffeine is one of the main components in my blood. ;P
Bought some comic-books.
Which ones?
ಠ_ಠ
Aw, c'moooon! It looks like fun! ;P
In other news, Ma Nature is here or her monthly visit. I was unceremoniously awakened this morning by a moderate yet persistent pain in my uterus. I tries to sleep through it, but it was annoying enough that it kept me awake. I got up to go to the bathroom, but QoH was awake in her room with the light on. She keeps her door open so she can monitor my movements. I closed my door back and laid back down in bed. I tried to go back to sleep, but no dice. Eventually, like a half hour later she finally went down stairs and I snuck to the loo. Having relieved the pressure down there, the pain went mostly away. I took some ibuprofen and went back to bed. I ended up sleeping almost to 1pm. QoH came and opened my door then to nastily ask if I was ever going to get up today. The hypocrite used to lay down and sleep all the time years ago when she had her monthly, but she has no empathy for me. :/
Hey, I didn't tell you that I made Chicken Parmesan the other night. I used one package of chicken breasts and cut them in half and pounded them out, then followed the recipe I got off the 'toobs. First time I ever tried to make that. It turned out pretty good. :)
covered in long golden brown body hair.
He's Wookie? :D
Which ones?
One that has stories of H.P. Lovecraft, one base on the Prometheus movie, one Stormwatch and one Marvel type.
She keeps her door open so she can monitor my movements.
That would not have stopped me from going to the toilet. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? Would she actually bother to get out of bed to tell you not to pee?
I made Chicken Parmesan the other night.
I don't know but chicken with a layer of melted cheese on it? Seems like an odd combination.
He's Wookie? :D
Nearly. He and his sister have these big wide hairy eyebrows that look like giant hairy caterpillars. She has a bit of a goatee, too. D:
Speaking of Wookiees...at the Florida Supercon in a couple weeks the guy who played Chewbacka in the movies is one of the many guests appearing there. Nichele Nichols, Emilie De Ravin also just to name a couple off the top of my head. It's mostly peeps I never heard of, though.
stories of H.P. Lovecraft, one base on the Prometheus movie
Those sound pretty good. :D
I mean, what's the worst that could happen?
She would follow me back to my room, talking the whole time, and then get her notebook and start reading me all the notes she took while watching her programs and that could go on for 45 minutes and then I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. :/
Would she actually bother to get out of bed to tell you not to pee?
She wouldn't tell me not to, it's the incessant talking that I want to avoid. Once she gets going, there's no stopping her until she runs out of steam.
Seems like an odd combination.
It also has yummy Italian style tomato sauce. I made noodles to go with it, so it's like eating a yummy Italian noodle dish that happens to have a breaded chicken breast with mozzarella cheese in there. :)
So I take it you haven't done the Euromast thingy? ;D
Nichele Nichols
She suffered a minor stroke recently, I believe.
Those sound pretty good. :D
Well, they are. The art work in both is really good. Lovecrafts' stories are of course classics.
So I take it you haven't done the Euromast thingy?
I've never been to the Euromast. I know it has a restaurant. I'm not afraid of heights so I supposed I wouldn't mind eating there. I will however not basejump from it. :)
What fun things have you been doing lately?
She suffered a minor stroke recently
Hmm, I hadn't heard that. I guess she's okay if she's making an appearance at a comic convention.
The art work in both is really good.
Cool. That's usually the best part. :)
Lovecrafts' stories are of course classics.
Yes, and very creepy. :) BTW, that reminds me...I forgot to mention that in Salem, the character of Anne Hale when she was doing the ritual to become a witch and her familiar appeared to her(a rat)she named him Brown Jenkins(the familiar of the witch in Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch House). I wonder how far they are going to go with that? That story was super creepy and horrifying(like Salem). ;D
I'm not afraid of heights so I supposed I wouldn't mind eating there.
I looked at the website the other night since I was curious. It looked like a nice restaurant(probably expensive). The tower is like $10 to get in(9,5 euro IIRC).
I will however not basejump from it. :)
No one is asking you to basejump. Your options are rappelling or zip-lining. ;P And IIRC those were like 50-something euros to do. ;P
What fun things have you been doing lately?
I was having a really interesting dream before I woke up. I only remember the last bits of it. I was with this girl I knew from school. Not that this was an important part of the dream, but in real life she had a distinct feature--one blue eye and one green eye. The blue was like sky blue and the green was a light jade green and she was blonde. Anyway, in this dream we were hanging out and doing different things. The last thing I remember was working out in a gym with her. It was all very vivid and detailed. It's strange since I haven't seen her since primary school.
That's usually the best part.
Well, it's all art work, right? The writing AND the drawings (AND the lettering). So yeah, those are all the best parts. :)
And IIRC those were like 50-something euros to do.
I guess as suicide rates go that's pretty cheap. ;P
It's strange since I haven't seen her since primary school.
Maybe you miss having female friends? People to do girl stuff with? Or just to go out with? Have some social fun?
Do you ever listen to the radio? I've been listening to some British panel shows (similar to those on television) on youtube. The generally put comedians in the panels. Usually good for a few laughs. :)
I guess as suicide rates go that's pretty cheap. ;P
I could always buy you some Depends beforehand. ;P
I used to have a zipline in the yard when I was a kid. No safety harness on that one. I'm sure the peeps running the thing at Euromast don't want any paying customers to croak. It'd be bad for business. ;P
Maybe you miss having female friends?
I do, but it's strange to dream of someone who I haven't seen in so long and who I wasn't particularly good friends with.
People to do girl stuff with? Or just to go out with? Have some social fun?
I haven't had much of that, but I would like to have it again. Anyway, the dream was more about me working out and the reasons. Some Ma Nature hormones at work, methinks. ;)
Do you ever listen to the radio?
Sometimes. QoH likes to put the political shows on. I can't help but hear them. ;P
Usually good for a few laughs. :)
I've always liked the British sense of humor the best. :)
I'm looking forward to Team USA wimminz taking on Sweden tonight. Canada and NZ tied last night as well as Germany and Norway. If USA wins(and they should)they'll be sittin' pretty for the next round. :)
I fucking hate my chromosome donors. >:(
I told that effing c**t QoH yesterday that if she had shopping to do, could we please do it early Friday because I wanted to watch the team USA match, but NOOOOOOOO!!!! Bitch farted around, took a looong shower, took for-fucking-ever to apply makeup, and we didn't leave the house until 5:30pm. Long story short: didn't get home until a few minutes before 9pm so I missed the entire 1st half. Grrrrrr...at least it all ended in a scoreless tie so I didn't miss much. :(
Then while out, my cell phone had like eleventy gazillion screaming messages from father-unit that the next door neighbor(underhanded opportunistic cunt)is selling her house and he asked her if she would let him make the first offer. Then he starts in with the 'oh, I'll buy it and you can live there and I'll buy it in your name and you just pay the taxes'. Oy fucking vay. Hoover much? First of all, the neighbor bitch knows what a sucker my dad is and would likely rip him off for more than the house is worth. Number two, I can't buy a house *in my name* because I don't have a job. 3)I can't pay for taxes because I DON'T HAVE A FUCKING JOB. 4) I DON'T WANT TO LIVE NEXT DOOR TO HIM...what a fucking nightmare that would be. 5)He used the excuse that our neighborhood is dangerous, well guess what? His neighborhood is just as shitty. 6) That house is half the size of this one and has practically no yard. 7)I don't want the legal responsibilities of owning a property. 8)Don't you like how he springs all this shit on me without asking my opinion first and then is pressuring me to hurry up and call him back because she's going to sell it and he wants first dibs? Fuck all that. I wish I had normal parents. He's willing to piss big money away on a liability like that but won't give me a damn penny voluntarily. Such bullshit. >:(
my cell phone
You have a cell phone? Which brand?
Fuck all that.
I' m going to have to agree with you on that. Buying a house is one of those things that you don't spring on someone. Unless you run a TV show that gifts people houses.
So, you will NOT be going from the frying pan into he fire then?
Hoover much?
I rarely hoover these days. I used to hoover when I lived on my own but now the hoovering is done for me. :P
You have a cell phone? Which brand?
Yes, an ancient Nokia. It's on an equally ancient family share plan of QoH's, because everything has to be "shared" like fucking conjoined twins or like I'm her effing spouse. Can't have me thinking I'm a separate person or asserting any independence or anything like that. >:(
Unless you run a TV show that gifts people houses.
Haha, I was going to bring that up, but my rant was long enough. Those things seem nice on the surface, but I've heard stories of the ones where they come in and fix up peeps houses to the point where it raises the property value so high that the peeps can't afford the taxes on it and lose the house altogether. Or the shows where they give away new cars, but the peeps can't afford to pay the taxes on the new car so they end up not being able to accept the car. There's always so much legal crap that goes along with everything in this stupid country. :(
So, you will NOT be going from the frying pan into he fire then?
No.
now the hoovering is done for me. :P
Not that kind of hoovering. ;P (BTW, my ex boss' hubby who was English used to refer to it as 'the manly hoovering' when he had to do household chores LOL)
Arekino, you haz mail.
Ya know, it would be nice to have parents who weren't abusive. Paternal unit abuses through financial manipulation and QoH abuses verbally and emotionally. It really effing sucks. >:(
you haz mail.
That's fine. I always appreciate getting mail from you. :)
Paternal unit abuses through financial manipulation and QoH abuses verbally and emotionally.
I know. You deserve better. It won't last forever. :)
Maybe it's better to just put this incident behind you and focus on positive things?
I always appreciate getting mail from you. :)
;) BTW, you still owe me a pic. Maybe little Arekino in his soccer kit. ;D ;P
You deserve better. It won't last forever. :)
The selfishness/self-centered-ness is what drives me most nuts. I've suffered 20 years of basically having my adult life stolen because of them, even longer if you count my teenage years. I feel like I've been emotionally and developmentally hobbled by them. I've never been allowed to have a normal life and to grow in a normal way. Now I am the age I am but lack the life experiences that lead to being developmentally normal. That is what pisses me off most. All my peers got to live life and I am still stuck in some kind of limbo. >:(
Maybe it's better to just put this incident behind you and focus on positive things?
This is just the latest and greatest attempt to force contact. He'll be hounding me with this for months/years like he did with the whole watch episode. :/
Maybe little Arekino in his soccer kit.
I'm not sure we have pics of that. There was this one day that a photographer came to take a pic of the team I was in but I'm not in it because I was at home not feeling like playing football that day. I didn't really like doing the sport. It didn't help that my father was our team' s coach/trainer.
Now I am the age I am but lack the life experiences that lead to being developmentally normal.
You're not that abnormal. Actually, you're probably quite normal. You have some awesome willpower and a good sense of humor. And I think you're a quick learner. Once you get out you'll adapt pretty quickly probably.
All my peers got to live life
Well, that is a choice they made. It may have been an easier choice for them but still.
He'll be hounding me with this for months/years
Does that bother you?
I'm not sure we have pics of that.
How convenient. I bet you were totally adorable in your little shorts and shin guards and cleats. I think you just don't want me squeeeeee-ing over it. I bet you even had that shaggy hair, too. ;P
I didn't really like doing the sport.
Just that sport in particular or all sports? I guess you would have preferred non sporting activities? I can understand not liking a team dynamic. I was very competitive when I was a kid(probably still am)and it used to piss me off to no end when other team mates would not play hard. I also don't like too much running. That's why I like playing goalie. ;P
It didn't help that my father was our team' s coach/trainer.
Why? Was he overbearing(like QoH)?
a good sense of humor.
The best comedians usually have had the most craptastic lives. They use humor to cover the horror show that is their lives. They have a tendency toward depression. I don't want to end up like Robin Williams. :/
Once you get out you'll adapt pretty quickly probably.
If I get out. :/
Does that bother you?
Yes, it shows a lack of respect for my wishes. Like I told QoH yesterday(and the irony was abounding), it would be nice if he asked me what I wanted first. What he's doing is just the latest and greatest way to force contact. And how convenient would it be for him to have me right next door so he could bother me with niggling bullcrap all day long. Seriously, he annoys me worse than QoH. I've often wondered if he is on the autism spectrum.
I think you just don't want me squeeeeee-ing over it.
Hm, okay, I'll have another look then.
I guess you would have preferred non sporting activities?
It's weird because I always liked gym-class in school. I guess I just got tired of getting out of bed early Saturday mornings to go play football. :)
It was never my choice to join a football club. My father just enrolled me in the club that he was a member of at the time and then he became my team's coach/trainer. My dad was a pretty good football player and I always felt that I was supposed to have the football career that he could not get for himself. That was never going to happen.
Was he overbearing(like QoH)?
No, he was a good coach. My team became champion one year. I never felt at home in that club. Then again, I've never felt at home anywhere.
I don't want to end up like Robin Williams.
You should probably stay away from stretches of looped rope then. :P
If I get out.
How could you not get out someday? It seems inevitable to me.
Like I told QoH yesterday
Why in the world would you discuss that topic with QoH?
Hm, okay, I'll have another look then.
Aha! So you like the idea of me squee-ing over pics of you as a kid. ;P
I always liked gym-class in school.
Me too!
I just got tired of getting out of bed early Saturday mornings to go play football. :)
When I was a kid, I would not have liked getting up early on a Saturday, either. I still don't like getting up early at any time, but if I'm getting paid to do so then it lessens the pain a bit. ;)
It was never my choice to join a football club.
Okay, this I can understand. It really pisses me off to not be given a choice. QoH did this to me with piano lessons. I couldn't have cared less about the piano at the age of 5, but QoH had bought an antique piano and I guess it would have given her something to show off/brag about if I played the piano, like a trick pony. Funny how when she wants something she doesn't do it herself, but wants me to do it.
I always felt that I was supposed to have the football career that he could not get for himself. That was never going to happen.
^This. This is like my mother and all the different things she has wanted me to do. Living vicariously through the kid. Never asking what the kid wants or feels about it. >:(
Why in the world would you discuss that topic with QoH?
She would find out eventually and then it would be an even bigger shit storm for me to deal with. Paternal unit is relentless and would likely call the house or come by. He always has to run his mouth. He cannot be discreet to save his life.
Anyway, he has been blowing up my phone with leaving messages. There were like 7 since I told him I wasn't interested the first time. He doesn't take 'no' for an answer and he does not respect my wishes or grasp the fact that my piece of crap cell phone doesn't work at my house because it has become a 'dead zone' with the network coverage even though I've told him several times before.
So the truth finally came out in one of his desperate massages. He is determined to buy that house come hell or high water and the real reason he is so desperate to get my name on it is so he can get it under a "first time buyer" contract if my name is on it which means he can put a smaller down payment. So he is not really doing it to help me, he's doing it to help himself. He's willing to get me legally entangled on something as big a buying a house so he can save a few bucks up front. Not taking into consideration if sometime in the future I am in a position to buy a house that was actually my choice and something I wanted, then I would not qualify as a "first time buyer". He doesn't give a shit what I want. All his messages were "I want, I want" never caring what I want or how any of it affects me. >:(
So you like the idea of me squee-ing over pics of you as a kid.
I kinda like the idea of you squee-ing period. :)
Living vicariously through the kid.
Well, I don't know for sure that's the case with my father.
All his messages were "I want, I want" never caring what I want or how any of it affects me.
Your intuitions were correct then.
I've got some problems with what I think is a pollen allergy. I don't understand why I'm getting this. I never had issues with pollen before a couple of years ago.
I kinda like the idea of you squee-ing period. :)
Then give me a reason. ;P ;D
I think is a pollen allergy. I don't understand why I'm getting this
Perhaps it's immune system wonkyness. Have you ever had the vitamin and mineral levels in your blood tested for deficiencies? I know that iodine and iodide are good as a general immune booster. Also raw unpasteurized locally sourced honey is a good way to acclimate your body to local pollens, although that is sugar and you are diabetic.
In other news unrelated to parental drama, I managed to get most of the hedges in the yard trimmed. I went all Edward Scissorhands on them. They look really good. :)
Then give me a reason. ;P ;D
I suppose I could cover myself in sunflower oil, put on some tiger print undies, strike a pose and take a pic of that glorious physique of mine. :D
Maybe not. ;P
Perhaps it's immune system wonkyness.
I probably just don't spend enough time outside. I'm not used to anything anymore.
I went all Edward Scissorhands on them. They look really good.
Good to hear you still get some satisfaction out of that. Did you sculpt the hedge in any particular way?
put on some tiger print undies
My first reaction should be D:, but if you actually have tiger undies then I need to see them. ;P
strike a pose and take a pic of that glorious physique of mine. :D
Maybe not. ;P
Ha! That's what I thought! Don't try to trick me with false advertising! ;)
I probably just don't spend enough time outside.
You need some of that good ol' sunlight for vitamin D. :)
Did you sculpt the hedge in any particular way?
There's one in the front of the house that I do in a globe shape, but the other ones I do as perfectly straight as possible. I have pretty good hand-eye coordination and depth perception. I amazed myself this time around with just how straight everything was. The only thing is it has been really hot lately, so any physical labor outside has me sweating profusely. I was out there for 1.5 hours a time(2 days in a row)and it just wears me out. And my back and arms were killing me from having to hold that hedge trimmer extended outward and leaning over to reach.
You need some of that good ol' sunlight for vitamin D.
Sure, but I meant that being exposed to the natural environment will probably decrease my over-sensitivity to it.
it has been really hot lately
Really? I didn't notice. ;P
Aren't you worried your skin will grow old quicker with all that time in the sun?
And my back and arms were killing me from having to hold that hedge trimmer extended outward and leaning over to reach.
Maybe you're doing something wrong? Bad posture can get you into a lot of trouble. The back of my neck can attest to that.
being exposed to the natural environment will probably decrease my over-sensitivity to it.
I suppose so. Get out there and have at it then! ;P
Aren't you worried your skin will grow old quicker with all that time in the sun?
I usually wait until afternoon. We have a lot of trees in the yard so I try to start my work in the shady areas first. I always wear pants and a t-shirt that covers down to my elbows and a hat. If I absolutely must work in the sun I'll put on some sunscreen. Anyway, it has been cloudy lately, so when I was doing the hedges I didn't have to worry about the sun. When I mowed yesterday, I waited until after 6pm. So I guess my answer would be yes and no. I don't want to look like tanned leather so I take plenty of precautions to prevent that. :)
Maybe you're doing something wrong?
Nah, I just get sore from overuse. Doing too much in a short amount of time.
It wouldn't be so bad if I had someone who could bring some sunflower oil over and give me a full body massage afterward. ;P
Get out there and have at it then!
I shall commence by rubbing my face in the dirt and licking some trees. :)
It wouldn't be so bad if...
You think you could handle a full body massage? When was the last time anyone touched your body? I find that just shaking hands with someone is weird. The last time anyone touched my private parts, I must have been a child, getting a check-up by a doctor. No, wait, the last time was when I had appendicitis (20 yrs ago) and one of the female nurses had to shave me down there to prepare me for surgery. And I suppose there was the prostate exam some months ago.
Have you ever been to a gynecologist? That has to be an odd experience.
You think you could handle a full body massage?
Sure. I love massages. I've often wondered how good our old friend Pet is at it. ;P
When was the last time anyone touched your body?
It has definitely been a while.
I find that just shaking hands with someone is weird.
For some reason, I'll let just about anyone give me a back message. I seem to carry stress in my shoulders and back and getting relief is just wonderful. It just feels too good to turn one down. Fortunately for me I've worked with a lot of Hispanics who have a very demonstrative touchy feely culture. If you mention your back hurts there is usually someone to jump in and give you a shoulder rub. I used to work with this one gay guy who actually did message therapy as a side job(I later found out when I told him he should do it professionally LOL). One time when I was maybe 19 or 20, I was complaining about my back and one of the chefs gave me probably a 10 minute massage as I sat Indian style on the prep table. QoH was really pissed about that. LOL ;P BTW, he was really good at it, probably one of the best I've had. ;D
one of the female nurses had to shave me down there to prepare me for surgery.
How was that for you? That could be kinda hot if you weren't gonna have surgery afterward. ;P
And I suppose there was the prostate exam some months ago.
That's definitely not hot. :/
Have you ever been to a gynecologist?
Nope. The last time I was at a doctor of any kind was at the Urgent Care probably 12 years ago for an ear infection after someone at work spilled a tray of Cokes on me. Some went down my ear and it really sucked.
I went with QoH to her gyno appt a few years ago. Old peeps are supposed to go to different docs for all their checkups. It was really gross and TMI. Not something I'd voluntarily do myself. :/
How was that for you?
I was quite distracted by the pain in my abdomen and the sharpness of the razor she used. It was weird having some unknown woman handle my junk. She was very professional about it.
It was really gross and TMI.
You mean you were there during the examination? That's... ehm... awkward, I'd say.
But anyway, how's your weekend going so far?
It was weird having some unknown woman handle my junk.
How would you feel about a known woman handling your junk? ;P All kidding aside, how would you feel at this point in your life if some nice woman was interested in you? Are you still in keep away! mode or would you be more amenable?
She was very professional about it.
Well at least you didn't have to deal with some cheesy porno situation. ;P
You mean you were there during the examination?
Yep.
That's... ehm... awkward, I'd say.
Yep. I'm required to be there for all awkward situations since I am an extension of her. :/
how's your weekend going so far?
I have free HBO and Cinemax(15 channels worth)for the weekend so I've been watching some movies. I got to see the last 2 episodes of S5 Game of Thrones. :) Unfortunately they did not show episode 8 which was supposed to be the best one of S5. :/
I watched Lone Survivor last night. At the risk of getting my citizenship revoked(which is not much of a threat to me ;P), I must say I totally hated it. It only reinforced my opinion of those involved that they were stupid, made poor decisions, and were douchebags.
I also saw Gone Girl which was much discussed on the PD forum. I did not find it as triggering or disturbing as the peeps on that forum. The chick was most definitely a Narcissistic Sociopath and the dude def had some PD traits, but I didn't think it was as good as peeps seem to think. It wasn't bad, just a little overrated and there seemed to be some plot holes IMO.
Friday night I saw A Walk Among The Tombstones with Liam Neeson. While it was a pretty decent movie, Neeson is such a hypocrite making shoot 'em up movies and being anti guns.
I also saw Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. It was a cross between Groundhog day and a octopus-like space alien invasion shoot 'em up. I actually liked it. :) While I don't usually care much for him, Tom Cruise isn't so bad in those sorts of movies.
Right now I'm trying to watch Her. It just started a few minutes ago, but QoH came in to interrupt so I had to flip the channel just in case there was swearing or sex stuff. That is guaranteed to set QoH off on a rant/tirade. :/ Actually, she managed to interrupt all the movies I was trying to watch with the exception of Edge of Tomorrow, so all of them I missed a few minutes of. :/
Are you still in keep away! mode or would you be more amenable?
I'll always have to get to know them first and getting to know them takes a lot of time in my case. Which means any woman will most likely think I won't ever be interested in her and move on to another guy.
Well at least you didn't have to deal with some cheesy porno situation.
Yeah... I don't like cheesy porn... at all... ;P
Neeson is such a hypocrite making shoot 'em up movies and being anti guns.
That wouldn't make him a hypocrite, I think. He's FOR guns in movies and AGAINST guns in real life. Fantasy opposite Reality.
Right now I'm trying to watch Her.
It's an interesting movie. Do you think you could get that attached to an AI? I mean, she's just a voice from a box in the movie.
Edge of Tomorrow
Yeah, seen that. It's not bad. Did you spot the groundhog? :)
I'll always have to get to know them first and getting to know them takes a lot of time in my case.
Yeah, me too. Are you the type who in general doesn't have an immediate physical attraction? I always found it odd when peeps I know would declare someone to be hot and want to f*** 'em. That has always puzzled me. Why would you want to do that with someone you don't know? I have to know someone first for a long time usually before I can have a sexual attraction. I read a while back that there is actually a term for that but I don't remember what it is or where I read it.
That wouldn't make him a hypocrite
Yes he is. He makes millions of dollars portraying something he's against in real life. I hate marijuana. I would not make movies portraying characters like Cheech and Chong for a living. I'd feel like a massive hypocrite. I don't care that it's fantasy. It's not my values.
Do you think you could get that attached to an AI?
No. I prefer real people, even if they are on the 'toobs. Besides, Scarlett Johanssons's voice got on my nerves. It was an interesting movie, though. Kinda sad.
Did you spot the groundhog? :)
No. I wasn't paying close attention.
It seems I still have the freebies until tonight, but it doesn't look like there's anything on that interests me. I will be watching the USWNT Wimminz World Cup soccer match tonight, though. :)
I got to catch a couple of Germany's matches. They are really good. Definitely earned their #1 ranking.
Are you the type who in general doesn't have an immediate physical attraction?
No, there can be a physical attraction but I also need the familiarity or it's a no go.
He makes millions of dollars portraying something he's against in real life.
Which is what? Vigilantism? I haven't heard him say he's for or against that. As far as I know, what his character did in the Taken movies is illegal in most countries. He also didn't say he's against guns in general (or self-defense) just that there are too many guns in the US.
I wonder if the actor who played Darth Vader is against blowing up planets in real life. ;P
I hate marijuana.
"Hate" seems like a really strong word here. Do you also "hate" alcohol? That gets more people killed per year.
Scarlett Johanssons's voice got on my nerves.
Really? I rather like her voice. Kinda husky. Kinda sexy. :)
No. I wasn't paying close attention.
I was just kidding. There's no groundhog in there AFAIK. Seems like they should have put one in there though. :)
I will be watching the USWNT Wimminz World Cup soccer match
My father likes to watch those matches. He an avid soccer fan though.
Which is what?
Gun violence.
just that there are too many guns in the US.
There are not too many. Peeps who spend money to own them legally are not the problem. The problem lies in the criminal element. The criminals would find a way to have them regardless. Just look at all the EU countries where the citizenry cannot have them and yet nuts always seem to find a way to get some and go on a killing spree(like the Charlie Hebdo thing and Anders Brevik). I'd rather be prepared. Nothing ventilates a burglar or terrorist quite like some 12 gauge buckshot. ;P
Do you also "hate" alcohol?
No, because it does not make me violently ill like MJ.
Kinda husky. Kinda sexy. :)
Meh. It would have been better with Shirley Manson from Garbage. Sexy Scottish accent, that one. Could read the phone book and make it sexy. Or Lana Parrilla dropping her voice an octave doing the EQ thing. ;P
Seems like they should have put one in there though. :)
Yeah, since it was a straight ripoff of GD. :)
My father likes to watch those matches.
Has he been doing the "slumber party" thing? I heard on one of the WC shows that peeps over there were having slumber party watch parties because of the time difference. ;P I guess he's happy that your wimminz managed to squeak by into the next round? US wimminz better get their shit together. They've been winning but they look like crap. Last night vs Columbia they were getting outplayed until that red card by the Colombian goalie. Even with the man advantage they couldn't get anything going. I think it's because of Jill Ellis' coaching. I'd have them on a 4-3-3 instead of that hot mess she's got going. And her choices in who's starting and who's subbing in puzzles me. :/
BTW, I had THE WEIRDEST AREKINO/OOSTERHOUT DREAM before I woke up. It was like I was stuck in dream land and couldn't wake up. Just weird. :/
Well, your wimmin folk made it interesting in stoppage time but it was not to be. They played fairly well for a young team. Better luck next time. :)
The criminals would find a way to have them regardless.
If criminals have guns does that not mean that there are too many guns? :)
yet nuts always seem to find a way to get some and go on a killing spree
Most nuts in the EU don't go on a killing spree (even if they wanted to) because they don't have guns. That's why the EU has much fewer killing sprees than the US.
Nothing ventilates a burglar or terrorist quite like some 12 gauge buckshot.
This is also true for gun owners who don't get to fire the first shot.
because it does not make me violently ill like MJ.
And that's the reason you wouldn't make a Cheech and Chong movie? Because MJ makes you throw up? How do you go from personal physical inconvenience to general moral outrage?
Has he been doing the "slumber party" thing?
Not as far as I know. Wouldn't put it past him. :)
Better luck next time.
Yeah, the Japs beat them, I think? Too bad.
I had THE WEIRDEST AREKINO/OOSTERHOUT DREAM before I woke up.
What was it about?
If criminals have guns does that not mean that there are too many guns? :)
No. If they didn't have guns they'd resort to some other savagery like hacking people with machetes(like that POS did to that Korean woman in NYC a couple days ago). I'd rather risk a gunshot than be hacked to pieces by a machete. Most of these shitbags are terrible shots.
I'm tired of arguing these things. It's not fun on a comments thread since I have to wait so long between responses. I'm no longer fired up.
How do you go from personal physical inconvenience to general moral outrage?
There's more to it than that. The shit smells like hell and it bothers other people like with cigarette smoke. It makes the stupid even stupider by killing brain cells, then I have to deal with even stupider idiots out in public. And it's not less harmless than alcohol because I've personally known someone who was seriously injured in a car crash by someone who was driving high off his ass and ran a red light and t-boned this lady's car.
Wouldn't put it past him. :)
Ha! That's what I thought!
the Japs beat them, I think?
Yeah, 2-1. They basically played D the whole first half. The Japs scored just shy of 10 minutes in and were pressuring the rest of the time. The second half Oranje came out with some fire under their asses and were getting a lot of good chances but couldn't get any luck. They finally got a lucky one to go in off the Jap goalie's misplay of the ball in stoppage time, but there was maybe only a minute left so no real time to do anything.
What was it about?
Well, I was hanging out with you and your family apparently. I think I had just got in town and was very tired and wanted to lay down in a bed and go to sleep. There were lots of beds in your house but all were occupied by someone. I don't think they were peeps in your immediate family but guests somehow. Then your father wanted you and me to go out to a store with him. I don't remember what happened after that. I remember something about the outside of your building being refinished with what looked like glass to make it look like a fancy glass office building instead of the brick. There was lot's of cut glass pieces littering the ground around the walkway to get back into the building(it looked like an apartment building in the dream, not the actual one you live in)and you told me to watch my step as the glass was laying all around.
It was one of those weird dreams that I was aware that I was dreaming but not controlling any of the actions. I was really tired from the previous day. I had mopped the floors in the house among other things. My body was worn out and didn't want to wake up. It felt like being caught in a loop.
I had another weird one last night. I dreamed of going to a beach in "Palm Beach" although it looked like nothing in Palm Beach. It looked more like a little cove along the Intracoastal. There was a narrow strip of white sand along the water(looked more like a canal)and the water was by a cut leading to the ocean. The water was clear and you could see the rocks and colorful plants at the bottom like on a reef. I remember diving in like a pro and not making a big splash when I went in, then gliding under the water a bit before I came up to the surface. When I did, I realized that the water smelled nasty like sulphur or mangrove water, and then I hurried to get out. That's about all I remember from that one. :/
Those dreams don't sound all that weird to me.
It felt like being caught in a loop.
So, like real life then? ;P
Oy, had another weird one that woke me up at 8am. I was dreaming of riding in my car, but my parental units were in the front and I was in the middle of the back seat. Paternal unit was driving. As IRL, his driving was absolutely terrifying. I remember saying something to him about it, then suddenly he wanted to make a left turn. The road we were on had 3 lanes in either direction plus a turn lane. He was impatient as always and tried to squeeze through oncoming traffic. He nearly crashed into 2 oncoming cars but turned so hard that he made a U-turn and was headed into a gas station. On the sidewalk of the gas station was a family walking. The 2 toddlers were walking in front of the mother and a couple older looking kids by a few paces. He nearly mowed down the 2 toddlers. They managed to not get hit somehow. Then I woke up with a start. :/
Of course since I was then up, I had to pee but QoH was up watching TV in her room with the door open. I waited until the central AC came back on since it's loud and right by my bedroom door to give me cover to sneak to my bathroom. I managed to get there and back without squeaking the floorboards, then I had trouble falling back asleep. I was finally rudely reawakened by QoH around noon. :/
My life sucks. :/
As usual I have to admire the creativity and detail your brain puts into your dreams. There's always so much going on.
Can't really say that I see what those dreams mean though. Well, apart from you having zero confidence in your father.
to sneak to my bathroom
You have your own bathroom?
As usual I have to admire the creativity and detail your brain puts into your dreams.
I just wish there was some device to put all of those things directly to text. Sometimes I lie half awake in bed thinking of great story ideas but they disappear before I have a chance to write them down or I can't remember exactly what I was thinking of. :/
Can't really say that I see what those dreams mean though.
That's too bad. I enjoy your dream analyses. :)
I have a good idea about the car dream, though. :/
zero confidence in your father.
I have some stories of things he's done while driving that would really make you shake your head and some that would likely piss you off. :/
You have your own bathroom?
There are 2 in this house. One is an en suite to QoH's bedroom and the other is in the hall around the corner from my bedroom. I consider that one to be "mine".
Well, once again, QoH wanted to go grocery shopping today but dicked around all day until 7pm when we finally left. She knew I wanted to watch the USWNT match vs China. She simply doesn't give a shit. At least she dicked around long enough so that I was able to watch Frants vs Teutons in it's entirety even the PKs. That was a pretty good game. I thought the Frogs were going to win, but am glad the Krauts won. I've had too much of an English upbringing to want the Frogs to win anything. ;P
The one good thing about leaving a 7pm was that I didn't have to waste too much video tape in taping the game. The ancient TV/VCR combo that I use to record things has lost it's original remote so I can't program the thing to record, it'll only record if you manually press the record button. Anyway, the game was scheduled to start at 7:30pm so not too bad. Of course, we managed to return around 9:30 when the game was ending so I saw that USA won 1-0. I'm watching it from the beginning right now. USA played much better than the 1-0 outcome. They had a hell of a lot of good chances. They played really well even with Rapinoe and Holiday suspended for the game.
BTW, I was just curious...when you had your appendectomy, why the hell was the nurse handling your junk? I understand shaving your pubes since the appendix would be on your lower right side hanging off the sigmoid colon, but did she shave your kiwis, too? That seems awfully thorough. ;P
She simply doesn't give a shit.
Don't you think you're way to comfortable with her not giving a shit?
I'm getting pretty tired of her shit TBH.
has lost it's original remote so I can't program the thing to record,
Surely there's a manual way of doing so?
did she shave your kiwis, too?
I don't remember. Maybe she did, I never thought it was odd. Still don't.
Don't you think you're way to comfortable with her not giving a shit?
Definitely. I've been putting up with it my whole life so it is normal to me.
Surely there's a manual way of doing so?
Unfortunately no. I would have found it by now if there were. :/
At least the semi-final game is on Tuesday, so it is unlikely that QoH will want to go anywhere then, but with her you never know. :/
How is your weather? It has turned from sunny and hot to rainy and hot here. :/ The last sunny day(Thursday)would have been a really great beach day. As it is, I don't mind the rain and clouds since it keeps things slightly cooler and the AC doesn't have to run as much.
I would have found it by now if there were.
What kind of idiot manufacturer makes a VCR that can only be controlled by remote? That's just criminal. What about buying a new or second hand remote? Seems hard to believe that you can't get one off the Internetz.
but with her you never know
Maybe you can hide her shoes? :D Don't tell me she goes barefoot. ;P
How is your weather?
It's quite warm. An actual heatwave is predicted for next week. I don't buy it but I guess you never know.
the AC doesn't have to run as much.
The AC's still working then? Have you inspected it lately?
How's the FF going? Still no inspiration?
What kind of idiot manufacturer...
Toshiba apparently. The funny thing is, I used to really like Toshiba. I had a couple other Toshiba VCRs and still have the remotes from them, but they won't control the onscreen programming. They control most of the other functions, though. The stupid unit has the basic playback buttons(play, FF, RW, ect). It's quite maddening.
What about buying a new or second hand remote?
I have a couple of those universal remotes around here somewhere, it's just a matter of finding the code books. :/
Maybe you can hide her shoes?
If I did something like that there would be a massive explosions from her. It'd likely make the national news. ;P
An actual heatwave is predicted for next week.
:O
I don't buy it but I guess you never know.
Yeah, our weather peeps lie a lot, too. It's the only job where you can be wrong all the time and still keep your job. ;)
The AC's still working then? Have you inspected it lately?
Yep. Ya know, I never got to clean the coils. They weren't dirty on the top sides and only dirty on the one bottom side. QoH won't let me turn the damn thing off or long enough to do the job since she's such a spoiled ol' queen and can't bare to be hot for a few minutes. I'm going to have to insist on doing it eventually to avoid further problems. :/
How's the FF going? Still no inspiration?
I feel kinda bad whenever I get new favorites and follows on Hard At Work. It's the little 2,000 word story that just keeps going. :)
I *was* thinking of 2 different things that would be doable for me. One is an idea for Regina and Emma doing TV and movie reviews. That I have some ideas for and would be really funny. The other is sort of a continuance or sequel to Hard At Work. I'm reluctant to mess with HaW since it's damn near perfect on its own. The concept I had would be Regina spying on Emma while Emma is supposed to be working at the Sheriff's Station. I thought I could have Regina turn herself into a black cat so that she could spy much easier. I meant to ask you if you had any ideas for what Emma could be up to? ;P
it's just a matter of finding the code books.
A lot of the time these kinds of things are available on-line. If you know the brand and type-number you can Google for the manuals.
our weather peeps lie a lot, too.
I don't think they're lying per se. I just think Dutch weather is too damn fickle to predict. ;P
and would be really funny.
Funny is good. :)
I could have Regina turn herself into a black cat
Furry style? ;P
I meant to ask you if you had any ideas for what Emma could be up to?
Hm, I'm going to have to reread HaW first to answer that question.
I just think Dutch weather is too damn fickle to predict. ;P
So predictably unpredictable? ;P
Funny is good. :)
I'm best at funny. I already have an idea for the TV/movie review one. I've actually had it for a long time ever since the penultimate episode of Mad Men. ;D
Furry style? ;P
An actual cat, not dressed as a cat(although there are probably a lot of peeps who would like to see her in a vinyl, latex, or leather catsuit ;P). I'm not entering the world of furries(I can already hear Regina's voice saying "That would be ridiculous" or "This is completely ridiculous, Miss Swan"). ;P
I'm going to have to reread HaW first to answer that question.
The common theme is she's usually goofing off in some way. Like tossing wadded up paper into the wastebasket "shooting hoops", or asleep at her desk, or in one of the cells sleeping, or playing Solitaire on the computer. There is always a stack of paperwork that she has been putting off dealing with. I had an idea that the Sheriff's station has a small makeshift weight room in the back locker room area left over from Graham's stint as Sheriff. He had to maintain his physique since he was Regina's boy toy. Perhaps Emma is back there lifting weights or hitting the punching bag. Then there will be some interactions with cat Regina. I'm going to have to remember back a loooong way to when I had cats and remember cat mannerisms.
The common theme is she's usually goofing off in some way.
Gosh, it's been so long I don't even remember that. Feels like I haven't seen OUAT in years.
Emma is back there lifting weights or hitting the punching bag.
Good, write about what you know as much as you can. :)
Sounds to me like you don't really need me for ideas. You've got loads of your own. :)
I think I'm just going to let you do all the heavy lifting enjoy the sunshine. :)
it's been so long I don't even remember that.
I don't really remember her being irresponsible in the actual show, but somehow it's become unofficial canon in FF. FF is a lot more interesting and coherent than the show, so it's easier to go with FF themes.
Feels like I haven't seen OUAT in years.
There's always Netflix. ;P (I guess Dutch peeps were smart enough to stop airing the show after it started getting really ridiculous. ;))
write about what you know as much as you can. :)
That is the easiest way to write. :)
You've got loads of your own. :)
I have some. The TV review one especially. I think I'm going to approach it as a sort of series of drabbles so I don't have to worry about doing full length stories. As a series I can do a bunch of basically the same story. I have a good idea for the Mad Men one and one for MMA. Also Game of Thrones is another and perhaps one for Her.
I think I'm just going to let you do all the heavy lifting
Speaking of...I did a pretty good workout on Saturday and another one last night. I've been trying to regularly do at least 100 situps and 100 pushups. I also did some obliques and leg extensions for by ab routine. Soon I'm going to look like some sort of super hero. ;P
I was watching Million Dollar Baby last night and it helped to motivate me. ;)
