Happy Earth Day

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I called the daycare I work at to leave a message for my boss for when she gets to work tomorrow, and I made sure I was calling the daycare number rather than my boss's number directly (partly because it's way too late to be calling her, and partly because I really just wanted to leave her a message), and I was so surprised when she answered that I hung up.

I think there's something wrong with me when I find myself thinking the phrase "I can haz grammar?" after reading something with bad grammar.

I'm terribly horny and apparently my wife would rather read Hunger Games than have some sexy time. There is nothing sadder than this moment in time.

Yesterday at Wal-Mart my 12 yr old ventured down the baby food isle to get some Gerber meat sticks, yeah she still eats them, anyway...she grabbed a couple and this lady says to her, "Awwww, so your baby loves them too?!" The horrified look on my kid's face was PRICELESS!

Give it 20 years or so, trust me...the moments will get sadder, lol.

Honestly? Hunger Games is so worth it. Just be patient.

(I'm guessing we don't have many conservatives on the board, but I apologize if anyone takes offence)

I just spent about 10 minutes having a nice facebook-chat with someone I met online through a fangroup who turned out to live in my town. She seemed really nice, we share multiple fandoms, and she even offered to help me with my knitting. When we stopped chatting, I glanced at her profile, and I noticed she lists herself as a Conservative Republican. In theory, I am open-minded and try to get along with all sorts of people, but in this moment, I feel dirty.

I just watched a woodchuck or marmot chowing down on some clover in the neighbor's yard.

For the record, I live in a large city. I have never seen one of these before.

My in-laws are coming to spend the evening and night. They called yesterday and said maybe they would come yesterday or sometime today. And just called to say they will be here in about an hour. For them, that is long notice.

Now if I could just get the kids to clean the living room.

I typically get questions or comments about my TARDIS tattoo maybe once or twice a month. Today, I had one person (admittedly this was at a Doctor Who gathering, so of course he knew it was the TARDIS) tell me "nice tattoo"; a guy on a bus asked me if it was the TARDIS; and someone who didn't know Doctor Who asked me what it was. This was with only about half an inch of it showing. Random.

One of my dogs is wildly running in circles around the pool barking and growling at the Polaris pool vac. I can't say that I blame her, it's a fucking evil piece of equipment.

Today I was verbally threatened by a squirrel. He/she is apparently living in the rafters of the pump house at my studio and living off duck food. On the bright side, at least it wasn't a snake.

I was driving with my best friend the other day and I had no idea where I was so he was giving me directions. He told me I had to get off at the next exit so I had to cross over two lanes (thanks for the short notice dude -_-)
Anyways I went to get over in the right lane in front of a car. The car sped up so they were right beside my car. They wouldn't go past me and when I tried to slow down it seemed like they did too. We finally passed the exit and I was really mad. My friend screamed "asshole" at the car and I screamed "I hope a raccoon bites your tire." My friend looked at me like I was crazy.
Apparently saying that to someone is not normal. Although I found it very fitting.

I was standing at work stocking one of my aisles jamming out to my ipod.
I didn't realize the story was open because I wasn't paying attention to the time.
So I turned back to my box and a tall lady was standing next to me.
I jumped in the air and let out this shocked noise and she froze with her mouth hanging open.
We just stared at each other for a couple seconds then I laughed and told her I was sorry and backed out of her way.
She asked if I could tell her where the pens are.
I wasn't sure if she said pins or pens so I said pens? Like that you write with and made a writing movement with my hand.
She gave this awkward smile and said yeah and I told her where to find them.
She kind of backed away from me and walked away really fast.
There is now a tall lady who comes into my store who thinks I have lost my mind.

Earlier my daughter was sitting on the couch with my wife's laptop and it sounded like she was watching bad porn. Turns out it was an anime series on Netfix.

[little.hesperides]

In a moment of boredom and malaise, I emailed an old flame of mine.

She just emailed back. Having been thinking of me lately. Hoping I'll visit soon.

Yikes. This may turn out better than I'd hoped!

I woke from a dream about my mother and went to the bathroom. When I got back to bed, Asher climbed up and lay down on top of me. Then Chiara thrashed around and kicked me in the fucking cheek. Seriously. My cheek hurts! I got up and slept in the other bed at that point.

[T.G.I.F.]

I decided to place an add online, just to talk to someone, chat a little, just for fun and social matters. But when I opened the response e-mails I just wanted to run away. Really hard and hide under a rock or something. Is it so hard to write normal, complete sentences? It's really bad and now I'm really dissapointed about the spelling abilities of my fellow dutchies. I wanna cry.

I didn't even think of that scene until you mentioned it. But it didn't get any better over the years, did it?

[BeMyDeputy]

Laragh, that's . . . time to post that everywhere.

I just went to see the Olympic torch as it was passing through my town.

(It was extra flamey)

No, it wasn't me! I've got to wait until July 14th to see it...

My wife has lived in this house twelve years and has no idea where the post office is. I told her the cross streets and she says that sounds vaguely familiar.

Deb, I feel your pain. This sounds exactly like something my wife would say. Which is exactly the reason I drive everywhere!

Ah yes. My wife drives most places (not long trips) anyway because 1. I don't like driving her car (which has the car seats) and 2. She is a very critical non-driver. Did you see the speed limit is 65? There's someone to your left... and on and on and on.

OMG!!! My wife is the worst. Backseat driver. EVER! I think one of the reasons we've stayed together so long is because we don't really fight or argue all that much except...IN THE CAR!!! There have been times when I've pulled over, gotten out and refused to drive because of her persistent nagging. I tell her, "If you don't like the way I drive, YOU drive or shut the F up!" She turns into this complete control freak. "Why did you change lanes? Why didn't you change lanes? You should've passed that guy already, what are you waiting for, Christmas? Speed up, slow down. Go around, don't go around," and on and on and on! All this is coming from the woman who once scraped mirrors with a guy because she flat out refused to let him in our lane at a toll booth AND the person who drives a stick and makes EVERY person in the car ill with her herky-jerky driving, lol.

Maybe we should move this over to the rant thread?

So, here's maybe the MOST random moment EVER.

I was shooting engagement portraits today in downtown Houston's warehouse district and being Sunday, it was pretty much deserted. No cars passed and the only person we saw was a homeless guy talking to the pigeons. After about an hour or so, we see this Hummer driving slowly. It made two trips around the block and then pulled up next to us. Turns out it was a friend of mine that I hadn't seen in two years! I mean, what are the odds? The really freaky thing is that, just last night my wife asked if I'd heard from him lately and then poof! There he was. Even the couple I was photographing said, "Wow, that was totally random." lol

June: I have a big project due the 12th with roll-out the 16th. Asher has summer camp 6/4 - 6/15. We go to the beach the next week.

The rest of the summer - nothing planned at all.
