Yay! 29 again!

Happy Birfdays to me!

Today was a LOT of fun! I had a lot of my very good friends around me (Minus a few that are geographically challenged. Rita, Pete, Heather, Joshy to name a few) And even though the light of my life, John (He woke me up with Happy Birthday on the phone which made the whole day wonderful) wasn't home I still had a great time. (In total contrast to last year) We bowled! (104, 88 and 131. I've never done so well!) Myshe, Bryan, Bart, and The Georgiffer all had a rip-roaring time.

Afterward, it was off to dinner where a cake was brought out and I had cute waiters singing very off-key happy birthday to me in italian. Well, 2 out of 3 isn't bad.

Then it was back home for some giftage. I got so many great things! Buddha bookends, my Scissor Sisters DVD, my Temptaion of St. Anthony Dali print, and a bucket of Choclate Ice Cubes. Now the last might sound odd, but it's a candy we haven't been able to find for years. LOVE them!!!!!!

We'll be having another little birthday shindig when John gets home since Josh and heather will both be here for the weekend. So this year, my birthday is like 3 weeks long! Yay!!!

Rita is next on the birthday list. We're hoping to be up there for hers. Seattle Science fiction and Music museums here we come!!!

More fun with conformity

Yet another blog filler. Where do people get these things? Oh well...


A-Accent: I'm told I don't have one for being where we're from. For this I'm glad.

B-Breast Size: I like 'em big, juicy and usually stuffed with cheeses and an herbed sauce of some sort. Though the pistachio stuffed chicken breasts I had were great as well!

C-Chore you hate: Paying bills

D-Dad's Nick Name: You know..I have no idea on either one of them.

E-Essential Make-Up Item: Q-tips

F-Favorite Cologne: DKMen, alas it is no longer made so I'm rationing. I do like Mont Blanc and Burberry Brit though.

G-Gold or Silver: Silver preferred... platinum to be exact. (100% with you on this one Pete)

H-Hometown: Home is where the heart is and my heart sure as hell isn't in the south.

I-Insomnia: Frequently

J-Job Title: House Husband, balancer of finances, torturer of cats.

K-Kids: Children are the light of the future. Simply douse in gasoline and apply lit match.

L-Living Arrangements: The Husband, the pet girl and two fuzzy red walking carpets.

M-Mom's Birthplace: Brewton, AL I think

N-Number of Apples eaten: Well someone couldn't come up with a decent question for this one huh? That's just dense. Let's try something more like:

N-Night or Day: Night definitely! I'm more efficient and focused during the evening.

O-Overnight Hospital Stays: 1? The time I had the measles when just a few weeks old. I can't remember any others.

P-Phobia: Losing the use of my hands, legs, eyes, ears...I depend on them too much

Q-Question you'd like answered: How do people that are so two-faced live with themselves? Oh oh..and why are so many damn "bears" total assholes? (That includes the female bears as well and yes, they exist.)

R-Religious Affiliation: The Church of Logic

S-Siblings: Half brother and sister.

T-Time you woke up: 9:12

U-Unnatural Hair Colors you've worn: Red, green, purple, blue-black

V-Vegetable you refuse to eat: Beets

W-Worst Habit: Honesty

X-Xray: Hell if I know. Again, another reach for the letter X. I mean why not ask something like "Xylophone or Harpsichord?"

Y-Yummy Foods you Make: Just one? Hmmm. I'll go with my Rosemary herbed turkey in apricot glaze.

Z-Zodiac Sign: Aquarius and yes I've heard all the "Aqueerius" jokes.

King, Barker, Lovecraft watch out!

This is true horror.

This creeps me out. It's just a little TOO militant to me. I mean, how would a lot of people feel if some site went up proclaiming that a sacrificial satanic altar would be hovering above them in space on any given day? Eww. Okay, see?

Cross in Space

Thanks to Miss Sarah for giving me nightmares!

Six Years of Bliss

There are few poems or pieces of literature that truly relay what I feel inside. This song excerpt is by someone who always speaks to me and it comes close to conveying what I want to say...

Adore

Until the end of time
I'll be there 4 U
U own my heart and mind
I truly adore U
If God one day struck me blind
Your beauty I'd still see
Love's 2 weak 2 define
Just what U mean 2 me

Can I talk 2 U?
Tell U what U mean 2 me
Every time U wander
I'll be your eyes so U can see
I wanna show U things
That I show no other, I wanna be
More than, more than your mother
More than your brother
I wanna be like no other
If U need me, I'll never leave
I know, that U know, without U there is no me
There is no me
Without U there is no sea
There is no shore
Love's 2 weak 2 define how much I adore
U, child
U, child
The last words U hear, The last words U hear
will be..
I'll be there for you, baby
Be with me darlin' til the end of time
I'll give U my heart
I'll give U my mind
I'll give U my body
I'll give U my time
4 all time I am with U
U are with me

I love you John. Six years with you isn't enough and I have a feeling Sixty won't be either.
Happy Anniversary

Blog Bandwagon

To keep the cobwebs at bay whilst I recover from the holiday, I conform to friends and their ways:

WARNING

this is a bit racey! Sheesh..the company I keep...


1. Name one thing you got for Christmas that you wanted to throw back at the person that gave it to you.
A free pamphlet of Schlotzsky's "Coupons" (Mind you, not REAL coupons..just a gimme booklet of 10 cents off here and there you can pick up off a counter) This was a couple Crimmuses ago, but noteworthy nonetheless.

2. Make up an acronym for BNA.
Bitches Not Allowed!

3. What is your current middle name and if you could change it what would it be?
Phred and I like it. It's me.

4. Which do you prefer? Thickness or length?
Oh dear. This is a left-fielder. In steaks? Thickness. In plot depth for a good movie? Thickness. In reinforced kevlar armor? Thickness. In the way you gutter-butts are thinking? Nunya...though there is a pattern in the answers.

5. Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?
Did I like everything I got? Yes! Did I get what I want the most? Not yet. He comes home Wednesday.

6. On New Year's Eve at midnight will you be kissing a certain someone, any stranger that is willing, or making love to the desert cart in your pajamas?
Actually, I stood there with a flute of White Star and sneered at the TV because they were early according to every watch, clock and time display for miles thus dropping the ball before we were watching.

7. Would you humiliate yourself for others enjoyment in the name of fun?
Of course! I've done it many times before: Hosted for AoL, joined a ridiculous guild in an online game, befriended Melonie, etc.

8. When people trip and fall do you point and laugh or feel bad for them and help?
I usually I'll suck in air through clenched teeth while wincing and mutter "oooo that'll bruise tomorrow". Unless, of course, I'm the one doing the tripping. Then it's a sly smile followed by "Schucks. That'll bruise tomorrow...bitch."

9. Low Rise Jeans on men... Hideously Ugly or Fashionably Chic?
Refer to fiasco that was men in daisy dukes. Um...ew.

10. What did you want for Christmas that you didn't get (other than World Peace)?
Christian Bale, Gina Gershon, Ray Park, Rick Yune, Eric Mabius, Eduardo Verastegui and Cillian Murphy pulling a sleigh with Billy Campbell

11. Do you want children someday? If so, why. If not, why not?
I have enough without needing those things nipping at my heels.

12. Which type of man do you usually end up dating? Smartass or Dumbass?
In the past? All dumbasses really. This one, the keeper, he's neither. Though I am working on igniting a little smartass in him.

13. Why are men so @#!*%$ stupid?
Because they have to deal with women. Sorry, I'm an equal-opportunity gender basher

14. What brings you to your knees?
There are a lot of things. John, dropped change and Jeff Gillooly. WHHHYYYYYYYYYY..WHHHHYYYYYYYY??!!

15. Name a line from a song that at this moment 'speaks to you'.
"I'm unique in the respect that I'm not U"

16. Quote the first movie line that comes to mind and let me see if I can guess the movie.
"Try the cock, Albert. It's a delicacy"

17. What is it with Hispanic gay guys and the plucked eye brows? Someone has to know this secret.
Well, they're gay right....and you've seen the hispanic hoochie-mama's with the gelled-out spiralled hair and dark-lined lips right? The eyebrows are identical between the two...so there you go.

18. Make up a word and then define it.
Cunnihilate: The verb form of cunnilingus. Well?! There wasn't one!

19. When it comes to sex, what are you best at (in your opinion... the rest of your town will be polled later for verification purposes)?
Oh definitely the brainwashing part. I'm an excellent speaker and I can sway many a crowd with passionate speeches about the universe and why we're all here. I can instill spiritual meaning in a gatheri--

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Sex, not Sects! Well then, you'll have to ask John that question.

~*~ Merry Christmas! ~*~

Yeah, Yeah... I know.

So it's been a while. Things have been quite hectic since last I blogged. We had to get ready for Thanksgiving and company. John came home and while he was home a plethora of things to get done took most of our time. Insurance adjusters, shopping, making phone calls to check on Licenses, warranties, defective DVD players, writing out and mailing upteen bajillion christmas cards, you name it. Our time was pretty much sucked up like you wouldn't believe. Needless to say, I haven't had the time nor the energy to really sit down and write. So I'm sure you, precious readers, understand. I'm sure once this holiday season is gone I'll sit down and blog my ass off.

"if you move, I strike, and if you do not move I strike..."


The Indian snake creature known as the naga was
believed to reside in groups apart from normal
humans, and many legends tell of their secret
cities hidden deep in the jungle, underground,
or underwater. In many tales, the Naga is often
of royal lineage or sometimes even divinity.
Nagas are often associated with water, and it
is said that they can control the weather.

As a Naga, you possess strong leadership abilities,
you are highly intelligent, and you can also be
a bit intimidating. You also enjoy the finer
things in life and like to be pampered, and
you're not too keen on mixing and mingling with
the unwashed masses.

Links updated. Some broken, but now fixed. Some thankfully removed. I love exorcisms!

Cleaning in the real world isn't as much fun however. Though it's mostly done, I need to hit the garage and organize organize organize. We'll be sending a lot of things to Good Will and the Salvation Army once John comes home this month. It will be so nice to have al the extra room to store away other items.

Preparations for Turkey Day are underway. It looks like we'll have unexpected guests for the holiday, but good ones thankfully. Heather and Wylliam will be joining us for the weekend! Josh will be here and Georgiffer as well. I think Jennifer and I have decided to collaborate on Chicken vol-au-vent which is a wonderful recipe I've made a couple times in the last decade. This time though, Jennifer will be supplying her superior dough-manipulating powers to create homemade bread bowls for the sauced chicken. Mmmmm! This is going to be fun! I'm currently trying to convince our DC familial extension to come down to join in the festivities, but he may be too tight :( Oh well...he might be coming for our post-Crimmus Crimmus.

Happy Belated Blogday!

Wow, I just realized that in October I hit my first year on this blog! It went by so fast! I never really thought I'd get into the swing of this, but apparently I actually do enjoy it. Thanks to Jane for introducing me to this addiction. Oh yes, and thank you to her wife for my Chai addiction. So, in honor of a somewhat tradition set down by the Lowford-Crawers duo, have a Chai Latte and a carefully stacked Biscotti "cake" in celebration of my first year being blogilicious.
