My username has been circulating around the grapevines of LJ naming me as a member of Suspicious Chicken. For those who have already de-friended me, it’s unfortunate that you’ve decided to defriend me without offering me the courtesy of explaining why I am on this messageboard.
What’s perhaps even more surprising is that you (not you specifically, general you) are gullible enough to believe what an anonymous user has to say about the board without even asking your friend who has been named what her stance is. If the troll was speaking the truth, why would she be hiding behind an anonymous username?
Ultimately, you can believe whatever you want to believe. But I’m here to tell you that our private messageboard is comprised of intelligent, caring, and articulate women. And I really am proud to be a member.
For those of you that are still on my FL, I'd like you to know that I value our friendship. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me by LJ email and I'll address them head-on.
/getting off my soapbox
I defriended some folks a few days ago way before all the LJ drama started. I didn't make a post announcing it because frankly, I don't even think these LJers read my journal. They don't post in it nor their own and I just figured it was time to do some spring cleaning.
Last night we went on a nice canal cruise. Then our tour manager took us to a sex show. Not, they don't leave much to the imagination! They were looking for audience volunteers and I had them pick Dan. The rest of our tourmates are now calling him "Mr. Banana". Lol more on that later.
Anyway, hope all is well with you ladies. I'll catch up on your journals before we head to Germany this afternoon.
- Mood:
chipper
What's December about anyway? I propose that we do away with the month altogether. Seriously, the whole month is nothing but a big pain in the ass. Why does *every* line you wait in become really long? What gives? I understand why the post office is busy. But I don't understand why the lines at my grocery store, gas station, and pharmacy just doubled. Do people hibernate in the summer and come out to play in the winter?
I have thought about you people who have birthdays in December. What's with the double whammy? A birthday AND Christmas gift?? My concession is that I'm willing to let you pick any other month of the year to celebrate your birthday. That way, your birthday doesn't get lost in the shuffle of the holiday season.
How does Christmas in July sound?
1) Tell us about where you live:
I live in a two-bedroom condo in Northwest Austin. I love the location because it is close to shopping, the Alamo Drafthouse, and other fun stuff. The only problem is that it's about 15 miles from work. But that's because my work location is in the middle of nowhere. On the flip side, my commute is only 20-25 minutes.
2) If you could change one thing about your home, what would it be?
More storage and pantry space in the kitchen! I have the world's tiniest kitchen.
3) Do you do laundry on a regular schedule?
I do laundry when I run out of clean clothes. So roughly approx. every 10 days...my mom has recently
4) Describe the place that you sleep:
In a bed....it's a full size and it feels too big (I'm used to a twin). My room does not have a computer or tv, so everytime I go in there, I pass out immediately.
5) This morning: was it easy or difficult to start the day?
Easy -- I decided I could take my time getting to work because my boss is out of town. So I lazed around in bed, then went to get an allergy shot. My coworker must have had the same idea because we both rolled into work around 9:30.
1. When is the last time you dressed inappropriately for a situation?
I honestly can't remember. I'm sure the answer is not "never", but no situation is coming to mind.
2. How many friends do you have?
Enough!
3. Are you running on time today?
I was...but I am on a conference call that just ran 30 mins over.
4. Do you use bleach on your laundry?
No, never! Bleach scares me. Especially "bleach for colors". How is that even possible? Sounds like a contradiction of terms to me.
5. What are your thoughts on guns?
They scare me. I may feel differently if I learned how to use one.
1. What is one personality trait that you can both loathe and admire in a person?
Self-confidence. I truly appreciate people who believe in themselves, their abilities, and talents. On occasion, self-confidence borders cockiness and in some instances, arrogance.
2. How do you react when you've just told a joke that completely bombed?
Turn red, feel mortified, and stay quiet for the rest of the time.
3. When you’re sick, do you prefer to have people doting on you or would you rather everyone left you alone?
Doting on me....making sure I'm comfortable, making me soup, and making sure I take my medicine.
4. Do you prefer books/movies/stories that you can relate to, or ones that can take you far away from reality?
Definitely books/movies that I can relate to. I have a very hard time suspending reality which is why I never got into Lord of the Rings or the Harry Potter craze.
5. What's your preferred explanation of why we dream? Is there any deeper meaning or is it all random?
I think dreams are our mind's way of running through events/feelings we've experienced in the near-term. I think it can be a window into one's current emotional state, but I wouldn't ever view it as an indicator of future events.
I'm in the "work smart, not hard" camp. Everything gets a cost-benefit analysis. Ok, feel free to shoot me now.
2. How's your day going?
So far, so good. I'm so excited the weekend is here!
3. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Umm, I haven't counted...maybe 20-25? Oh wait, am I supposed to count the Choos and Blahnicks too? :)
4. Do you consider yourself cool?
Wouldn't you have to ask my peer group to answer that? I would describe myself as someone who doesn't freak out over stupid shit, doesn't "try too hard" in a social setting, and isn't shy. Does that make me kewl? Hell if I know.
5. What's the last song you listened to?
This is sad..."Greatest Love of All" by Whitney Houston. I just downloaded her greatest hit and this happens to be playing on my iPod right now!
