Life or Something Like It

Dignity stolen...

Life strips you of all dignity.

I just filled out yet another MySpace survey and it asked for an opinion on life. That was my answer. It's true, isn't it? The older you get, the less you have. Or that's the way I feel, anway.

My wallet was stolen out of my car about three weeks ago. The thief left my purse, so I didn't even realize anything was amiss until the police called me. Fortunately, someone found my wallet where the thief carelessly tossed it away...in a trash can...at some random car wash. I can't tell you what a nightmare it's been. I didn't have any cash in there, thank God, but my debit cards were taken, my social security card, my LIBRARY cards. Come ON, people. Library cards? The thief managed to charge over $200 on my card before I canceled it. Living paycheck to paycheck as I, and most people I know, do, this has seriously been a pain in the ass to get straightened out. I thought it was over. I find out today, I have to start all over again. I would rather poke hot needles in my eyes.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but as you can see I've been rather preoccupied. I get in slumps where I don't feel like doing much of anything and I suppose that's what's happened here. I hope to write about a trip to Gulport/Biloxi, MS in the next few days, and of course to continue from my previous posts about Rylie the Monopoly genius and Dottie and her boyfriend, or rather, EX-boyfriend. Muahahahah!!

"Overheard in New York" Quote of the Day
Chick: I'm kinda concerned about this lotion I started using. It contains semen.
Dude: Ew... But so what?
Chick: Well, I think that it could make me pregnant. Like, the sperm could seep through my pores and then swim through my blood...
Dude: But your pores don't have fallopian tubes...
Chick: But what if? I bet if I got pregnant, it would be, like, the devil's baby.
Dude: Yeah, and you probably can't abort the devil's baby.

(The sad thing is there are really people out there like this. Sigh.)

Die hard genius...

I went to see Live Free or Die Hard this weekend. I have to confess that I'm not a die hard Die Hard fan, but I really enjoyed the movie. For one, Bruce Willis is hot for an older guy. Two, there's that cute little Justin Long who's hot for a young guy. (I think that Adam Brody would've been a good cast for that part, too, by the way. A little nerdy, a little cute). Anyhow, it was suspenseful and keeping with the times and all that could happen in the "everything computer" age. It was interesting. I have to say, though, poor Bruce took a beating in this movie. I don't think he had to act very much to portray the pain his character felt. And having a "fail safe" for financial records downloaded to one gigantic server seems like something our government would do. Can you say FEMA? I'm pretty computer smart, but it always amazes me how these people, and I know there are really people out there that can do these things, just start typing on a black screen and manage to make the American economy come to a screeching halt. I love the witty banter in the movie, McClain's a bad ass with a sense of humor AND a daughter just like him. I know I'm bouncing all over the place and if you haven't seen the movie you have no idea what I'm talking about. So, go watch the movie.

I actually have more to write about, so stay tuned to find out about the jungle that is my lawn, Dottie and her boyfriend, and Rylie the little Monopoly genius.

I saw the following quote on my friend, Nick's, MySpace page. It made me laugh out loud. Ahh, the things that amuse me!

Conductor on PA: Excuse me, ma'am, maybe it would work better if you went to the next door -- it's less crowded. [Lady walks to next door, but before she gets there the conductor closes them.] Haha, bitch! Toot, toot!

The slightly bizarre ramblings of a 20-something living in rural Texas. Dashed with humor, anecdotes of her pets and family, attempts at staving off boredom, you'll wonder how you've been living without this riveting analysis of what is "small town life."

Most of the time I'm a laid-back chick; fun-loving, caring, loyal. I'm also stubborn, hard-headed and bitchy sometimes. But, I'm mostly loveable!

I've heard a couple of things over the years that have made me feel vindicated in my not so successful quest for the perfect body. I read a news article covering a dog that attacked a young woman, who happened to be overweight. The dog went for the throat and would have killed its victim save for the fact that she was nicely padded with extra poundage. Therefore, I have decided that I am fat to protect myself against freak accidents such as these. I then came across the statement, "We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads." So I then decided that I'm not really fat, I'm just extraordinarily intelligent and my head couldn't hold anymore information so it started to fill up the rest of me! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
