I'm at the age where I'm in the 'middle'.  In addition to having friends my own age, I have older friends (in their 40s and 50s), and younger friends (in their 20s ( Read more... )

This is one reason I'm not into sports.  The Canucks lost, and now the fans are flipping cars over and setting them on fire.  The mob mentality is just screwed up.  It pisses me off that some people think they can destroy other peoples' property because of a fucking hockey game ( Read more... )

I just love those people who are completely incapable of contributing any sort of productive answer to a forum or community discussion (or even to a personal journal entry).

I know people have an opinion.  I know it's a free country, and there's the whole free speech thing, and so on.

But, honestly, there are those who feel the need to give you their ( Read more... )

I finally checked my email today, after ignoring it for several days.  After wading through the countless forwards that my mother sends, newsletters, jokes, notifications and so on, I noticed I'd received an email from my former neighbor, who I do kind of like, but she still drives me nuts sometimes.  She and I are both geeks, but she's got serious ( Read more... )

To prepare for college in the fall, I'm taking courses in Medical Terminology and Anatomy/Physiology.  I'm studying my ass off, and I currently have a 97% average.  Go, me.  The Med Term was easier than the A/P; I guess it's just the way my brain works.  There's a lot of shit to go through, and I'm having some issues wrapping my head around some ( Read more... )

I swear, my ex's side of the family makes a soap opera seem simple and mentally healthy.  They put the 'fun' in dysfunctional.  The more I post about them here, the more I think I could make money writing a book.  You honestly can't make this shit up.

Here in Canada, we have the 'Air Miles' program.  It's a general rewards program where, if you shop at certain stores, you get air miles.  These air miles can be redeemed for a number of things, including travel and hotels, gift visas, gift certificates for books/clothing/etc, movie theatre tickets, small appliances, etc.  I've been a member of the ( Read more... )
