Just let me get this one thing clear.  Having cerebral palsy and being slow  and usually in pain because of it, was no picnic.  In a time where the schools put me in regular gym classes because they either didn't know I had more problems than the average kid due to my nerve condition, or didn't care, those classes were hell.  The gym teachers ( Read more... )

Son of a bitch, this has been a really fucked up day.  Yesterday a friend of mine came by with her daughter, saying she'd finally left her a$$hole boyfriend.  Now, I've known my friend Ty since middle school.  She had her daughter, Brooke, young (age 14), and Brooke is almost 18 now.  (That's probably why I kind of like teenagers; the good ones ( Read more... )

Just got back from watching "The Men Who Stare at Goats". I liked it; thought it was funny and strangely touching. The Jedi references were so funny, considering the presence of Ewan McGregor. Plus, it appealed to my magic/hippie side. They had this "salute to Mother Earth" thing that I really loved. Chaz didn't like it ( Read more... )

Have you ever had a week that started out great and just ended up fit to flush right down the toilet?  Last week was that kinda week, and this week has surely begun that way.  I got Monster (my lappie) on Monday, and I was so happy.  I played with the big electronic beastie for a few days, then, on Friday, the news got sprung on me ( Read more... )

Well, I've been taking care of the neighbor's house for the past week while they've been away in FL.  Despite dealing with blizzards and dog crap and an animal that really misses his "parents", I've been happy here.  Today, they come home.  I've realized what makes me productive while I'm here.  (I've done quite a bit of writing and have crocheted ( Read more... )

Well, last night was the series finale for Stargate Atlantis.  I feel kind of bereft, even though it's been said the story will continue in movies, and maybe in Big Finish Audio like Paul McGann's version of Doctor Who.  One thing I am happy of, my beloved Dr. Zelenka DID NOT DIE.  I'm so happy, because SGA has a nasty habit of doing that to good ( Read more... )

First, the bitching:

Well, my Dad's had his gastric bypass surgery and things are hell.  He's sick in a way I'd rather not discuss and I have to deal with said dirty laundry.  I happen to be gaining weight because without us here as a family, we've taken to grabbing food on the run and not making real meals.  Mom's filled the house ( Read more... )

Somehow, something happened that replaced my "headcat" icon with some strangely-drawn creepy anime picture.  Leave my account alone, hackers!!!!  I never did anything to you and I don't have anything worth stealing.  I don't even have my own apartment!

Of getting off of Tagged. I didn't know it was a dating site when I joined. I thought it was another blogging site when I found it. Even though I have clearly put on my page that I am looking for friends and networking, people keep clicking me and sending me these weird love messages, in particular these horny black dudes. Not to sound racist, ( Read more... )
