Distracted By Something Shiny

I didn't have to go to therapy today. I was suppose to, but they canceled because Kevin went home sick. I told him last week he was pushing himself too hard, with like a million things going on, and he was going to end up flat on his face. He must be really sick though, because I didn't know the man even knew what a sick day was, let alone how to use one.

At any rate, it is now 9pm and I have completely wasted this whole day and have done nothing productive at all. I feel bad about that.

Let's do a meme!

Saw this floating around on LJ somewheres...

Pick up the nearest book to you.
Turn to page 45.
The first sentence describes your sex life in 2012.

It smelled of stale air and shoe leather and my grandfather’s slightly sour cologne. -- Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

Okay, so like what does that mean, exactly? Is it describing my partner-to-be, because it conjures up this image in my head...Moleman, and that's weird. Or is it describing said-partner's member? Just...NO.

Let's do another meme!

I saw this thing floating around on Tumbler that said...

"The cast of the last movie you saw vs The cast of the last TV show you saw - in a fight."

( I ramble for a bit, because I start talking about Jason London, so I cut for space. )

Oh damn, now I want to see Matt Paxton and Jason London throw down. That would be so good for me.

So good for me.

Alright, normally I do these things for fun when I see them around and then move on, but THIS...this I had to post.

I WILL TAKE THIS FUTURE.

Remember the "tell your future" game you used to play with your girlfriends in like 5th grade? This is the virtual internets version of that.

		I will marry Ben & Jen & Jimmy.
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in the middle of the fucking desert in our fabulous Apartment.
		We will have 13 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a yellow Golf Cart.
		I will spend my days as a talent agent assistant, and live happily ever after.

So, um, yes that IS Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner and Jimmy Kimmel. Because, I don't know if you know this or not, but they come as a set. Together. It's trufax. AND I GET TO MARRY THEM! Hahaha, lest we forget, we live in the middle of the fucking desert. And I swear, I put "1" and "3" as options for the kids, but somehow I got the highest number that I put on the list. Also, WTF, we have 17 people in an apartment?! We better have some serious footage and sound-proofing in that place, especially with all the sex we will be having so that we can produce our 13 kids. I will NOT be driving my kids around in a golf cart, but I damn sure will be pimpin' that shit out and driving it myself. I kind of always wanted a golf cart. I GET TO BE LIKE LLOYD FROM "ENTOURAGE" - TALENT AGENT ASSISTANT - LOOK, LOOK THE GAME SAYS SO AND THE GAME NEVER LIES, except apparently for all those times when I was a kid. And for the record, I put "Hooker" and "Lay-About" on the list of jobs. I guess Jen will have to bear all of our 13 kids, since I will be busy having a job and all.

THIS WILL AMUSE ME FOREVER. Thank you, aythia for the entertainment of the evening,

WHAT WILL YOUR FUTURE BE, BITCHES?! <--I'm sorry, I have to stop watching "Deadwood".

Alright, alright, aythia, I did a meme...see?

She's always tagging me to do these things and I am lame and never do. So this time, I thought I would, just to try something different...like actually doing things.

Don't expect major confessions here...I have to be in the mood for that chick-flick shit, you know.

Mission: List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
Tag seven people to do the same.
Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it"


1. The tornado sirens went off today. Yes, like five days before Halloween. That's weird, even for Michigan. Which lead me to think about the fact that I hate storms! I hate high winds and pouring rain and thunder and lightening. Mostly because I have actually been in TWO tornadoes in my life. They didn't touch down, but believe me, they don't have to. My fear makes me do the following things when it even starts to rain - put in my contact lens, put my shoes next to my bed, have my bag with my wallet and my week worth of pills nearby...all in case I have to flee and/or the house comes crashing down around us. (These things also help in case of a fire). And I put on either my fake dog tags or my fake One Ring, sometimes both, because yes, those things totally help.

2. I don't like to eat things that have crunchy things in them - like brownies with nuts in them. Because you bite into it and you're all, "Omg, what was that?" and someone is like, "Oh, I think it has nuts in it," and then later you find out it didn't have nuts in it and you don't know what you just ate! Or sometimes you are eating something with nuts in it, but any of those crunchy things could also be like a cockroach or something! YOU DON'T KNOW!!!

3. Three, er four, albums that remind me of the summer after I graduated high school - Alanis Morrisette's "Jagged Little Pill", Beastie Boys' "License To Ill" and both volumes of the Dazed and Confused soundtrack.

4. I have three cats - Audrey aka Papa Bear, Krycek aka Big Buddy, and Roo. I tend to talk more about my sister's cats because my cats are old and fat and don't do anything. Buddy thinks that "playing" means finding a piece of string and chewing on it. They are sweeties who like cuddles and pettings, but they don't ever do anything overly cute or new.

5. I got a job the summer between 8th and 9th grade at a child care and continued to work in child care for the next decade of my life. I did this until I was in my early twenties. Oddly, now I really don't like any kids, except the ones in my family. I don't know how I did it. They want things like all the time. Honestly. Though I do plan on taking this knowledge and totally using it to write an M2 daycare fic.

6. I am currently watching the following shows - Hoarders, Hellcats, NCIS LA, Nikita, Hawaii Five-O, Glee & Supernatural. I will soon be adding The Walking Dead, Psych and South Park to that list, as they return to television in the next few weeks. But where is my What Not To Wear?

7. It's a good thing this meme ended on an odd number, because I firmly and truly believe it is bad luck to end on an even number, unless it is a dividend of 10.


What? I have to tag people now? /grumble/ Fine, but only cuz this is the first meme I've ever done and I don't feel like being a rebel about it. But dude, aythia, we share way too many friends in common...seriously, I checked like five people to tag and they've already done this meme. Our flists are very over-lapping.

I tag ranua, vikingprincess, tringic, casiedearestfic, menel, liptonrm and 13chapters.

1) To reassure people who are nervous about it...I don't have Facebook (it's the Devil) and I don't have the technology savvy to Twitter (even though I read Misha and Rosenbaum's Twitters compulsively).

So, no problems there.

2) This - *If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.*

I am not even kidding when I say that the Internet has given me some of the most important people in my life - the best friend I have ever had in my entire life (The BFF - you know who you are) and wouldn't even know who I was without her. More recently, the new friends the Internet has given me have helped keep my head above water during this long and difficult year. I am grateful to all of you.

Done being sappy. Off to bed. Thanks to anyothergirl415, to dream of The Chad.
