Standard boringness. Someone's having a bbq and their home owners association puts on a fireworks show so we'll watch that. Though the neighborhood is full of tons and tons of crazies. I mean seriously we had to caravan out of the place to even attempt to get through the streets which were packed with people setting off fireworks like crazy. It was not amusing. I was worried my car was going to be covered in scorch marks and junk.

This year I have to think of a way to prevent that. I might end up walking a long way to their place and leaving my car in a commercial parking lot. Though that worries me a bit too leaving it totally unattended.

Considering we saw the fireworks Saturday night, I don't think I'm doing much of anything. I might end up babysitting, but who knows.

Aimee Mann:
4th of July

Today's the fourth of July
another June has gone by
and when they light up our town I just think
what a waste of gunpowder and sky
I'm certain that I am alone
in harbouring thoughts of our home
it's one of my faults that I can't quell my past
I ought to have gotten it gone
Oh, baby, I wonder -
if when you are older -
someday-
you'll wake up
and say, 'My God, I should have told her -
what would it take?
But now here I am and the world's gotten colder
and she's got the river down which I sold her.'
So that's today's memory lane
with all the pathos and pain
another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless
and they're always the same
a verse, then a verse, and refrain
Oh, baby, I wonder -
if when you are older -
someday-
you'll wake up
and say, 'My God, I should have told her -
what would it take?
But now here I am and the world's gotten colder
and she's got the river down which I sold her.'

Hola folkses!!!

FLT- I just wish women would accept it more. (Especially for themselves) Accept it, utelize it, share. Trust me, sharing that is very good for a woman and her partner.

FMF- Test of balls: Standing up to a very close friend in their drunken state throughout the majority of your day off. It is a test of balls whether or not to F#^* their brains out with the full knowledge you are capable. Dangly bits aside I still see you as having more nutz than most deserve despite their capability. Carry on fellow Browncoat!

'Neko- Hit me up. It has been a hell of a time and I'd love to let you know the that it gets better due to some small bits from you.

Okay, I'm a bit drunk. Headed to bed soon.

Love for all of you on this fine Independence Day.

NVG you live that soap-opera life! And let us know of any more teenage responses if they're as funny as that one ^^

Had a friend and her spawn over last night, wound up setting the youngest up on the xbox, one of the free demo racing games. He stopped because he saw a red light somewhere on the screen, and then refused to move until it changed!

'That torpedo hit us hard. We've got serious damage to the thrusters, heat warping in the secondary camshaft and the right side emergency jets completely knackered. We can't thrust, our shafts bent, and we'll probably never shoot off from the right hand again!'

Monday, July 7, 2008 2:32 PM

Let me jump into previous discussion for a bit of a general moan at life. I think that too many of today's 'yoof' confuse balls and freedom of expression with rudeness. Just passed a group of teenagers swearing their heads off in really loud voices and spitting onto the path. I asked them politely to tone it down and got shouted at that they could do whatever they wanted and if I didn't like it I could ... 'get lost'!

I've often heard them congratulate each other for being really nasty by saying that 'that took real balls'. It doesn't. It just takes a lack of consideration for other people's feelings. Something that seems to be all too common.

There, I'm done. Now how old do I feel?!

This reminds me of the scrubs episode where Turk tells J.D.'s brother that Carla is pregnant and he's all "oooohhhh that sucks dude" and Turk is all "no we were trying to get pregnant" then it's "Oh congratulations!".

Mainly cause my initial reaction to NVG's thing was "oooohhhh that sucks dude". Unless of course she wanted to get pregnant that is.

Monday, July 7, 2008 3:28 PM

Odds! That was pretty much my weekend aside from the shoot we went to yesterday. Fricken wierd and taxing but then again it has been considerable time since it's happened so lets hope the soap opera bank is paid up.

Sorry to offend FLT. Brain all wonky works and such.

So yeah, my sister is pregnant again. I did kinda have that Scrubs exchange before finding out if she was happy about it or not. Fell kinda like an ass but the emotionally trying day before seemed to have knocked something loose into the works.

Has anyone here ever been accused of knocking someone up? I know it is a strange question to ask with the above news I recieved but it has humorously happened to me recently (NOT MY SISTER, DERR) and I don't know how to take it other than to laugh heartily in the face of my accuser. Of course she was drunk off her ass but what else are friends in crisis for?

in response to your question, ive never met anyone who's been accused of knocking someone up, but i imagine it would be an awkward situation :-P i guess all you can do is laugh and wave it off unless they get really serious about it for some reason XD

NVGHOSTRIDER

Monday, July 7, 2008 7:05 PM

Yeah, awkward but funny.

After lots of drunk talk from my "rescued" friend (of which we've endured a long friendship but a short relationship) I had heard it over and over. Finally it came to a head when she'd sobered enough to understand my retort (for which I did not offer one before since she was so out of it).

HER: "Don't you get it. I'm three months pregnant and it's yours. Aren't you man enough to accept that? Isn't that what you wanted? Didn't you say that you wanted to have children?"

ME: "Of course I did. (Smiling) And at one time I wanted to have kids with you."

HER: "So what's the problem?"

ME: "For one I'm in a very good relationship now and really don't want to f&^% it up..."

HER: (Cuts me off)"You selfish Paiute bastard!"

ME: "... Two, is that what I really want to put up with for the rest of my life, no."

HER: "F&^% you. I thought you cared. Now I 'll have to do it all by myself. Me and your child alone and without you. I thought you were the best man on the planet. How could you do that to us?"

ME: (Chuckling) "Probably because Three, unless you gestate like an Elephant or I'm a fricken sniper with my seed that ain't my kid. Seems the last time we were together was October." (Counts in my head) "So yeah, 'our' kid should be sitting her right now. I'm sorry this didn't work out the way you wanted but I'll give ya an eight for creativity."

HER: "You're a son of a bitch."

This didn't end the conversation or the day. And of course I didn't want to pull off the ultra cool "I know. I'm a son of a bitch. But I'm not a f&^%$#@ son of a bitch." line because that one needs to be saved for when it really counts.

Laughing and waving since Friday afternoon FLT. Of course I am sad because my friend needs help that I can neither offer nor follow through with. But the look on her face...

...priceless.

He's on about his friend let's just call her Miss M called him at 7 am on the 4th of July because she was totally impaired and needed him to rescue her and he did...spending hours and hours of his only day off cleaning her up and talking her down and just being a fantastic friend ( and he does this because he is truly the most wonderful man in the known universe)

BTW he just made me sit on the couch and sip a glass of wine while he cooked dinner, clean the whole kitchen, and dealt with other chores... ( trying not to rub in that I m the luckiest woman alive)

Hmm, this site really needs a sarcasm emote.

Sigh. I'm depressed.

Could you bear with me whilst I put my slightly whingey problem in front of the mighty power of the imponderable team? Maybe you could give me some advice?

My problem is that I have been working at this college for 18 months now and am still feeling very ostracized and friendless. The three people I like most are leaving which makes me sad. The three women in my office ofen make me feel unwelcome in lots of little ways that I don't even think they're aware of. Things like; going for a coffee break and asking the other two if they want to come but not me, all heading out the office at the same time without waiting for me when we are supposed to be going to the same place, never inviting me to sit with them at lunch. You know, little school yard snubs. They're not rude or impolite, they just never make any effort to include me in conversations and such. I did try at first to insinuate myself into their group but I am getting fed up of the effort all being one sided.

Isn't it silly how this kind of stuff ends up getting you down when there are so many other stresses that I have dealt with this year.

Anyway, has anyone else been in this sort of situation and what would you suggest I do?

Actually em I'd say it's relationships with co workers that make your job worth it. I once worked somewhere like that and it sucked big time. HUGS I am really sorry about that.

OK so apart from the people leaving, is there anyone else there you might like? I'd scan and scout out not other teachers, but secretaries, assistants, ect. If you would like to develop a friendship with the other women, try inviting them out to coffee yourself. Maybe they think you aren't interested in being friends or maybe the just haven't noticed they've got a little clique. I had that at my last school and when I asked them all to do a potluck lunch with me it turned out they just thought I was super busy and that's why they hadn't asked me to join them...

I really hope you can find some friends because otherwise it makes your job so much harder...

First off, (points at MSB) you better be laying down doing very little woman.

Next, I tend to be that person more often than not Ems. SUcks being the boss because the fun stuff is kinda set aside for what is proper. Not that I was overly social to begin with, but being included in the group is a basic human social need. If there is any way to be accepted I think humor is the best. And if there is any way to tell the group to piss off humor works well too. Just know you can drop in anytime and feel welcome with all of us.

Sorry folks, thinking kind of fragmented. doing some new forms and such trying to keep my attention. Difficult.

personally i totally not try with these people they are obviously very stuck up is there no one else there who they give the cold shoulder to as well and form your own little group then see how they like being ignored probably not very much.thats what i did at work nerds unite until there are so many that in the end they are in the minority dont know if that helps but i really wouldnt go out of my way to pander to people who are ignoreing me hope somthing works out soon maybe look for another job with hopefully nicer people

im just going out,i may be some time

Been there. It's amazing how apparently grown people can revert to being fourteen again in an office. I just did my own thing, and found friends in other departments. I hate to say it, but I'm more cynical than MsB - after 18 months, they are doing it on purpose. They need lives.

(In my case, though, I worked in an office with folk whose highlight of the week was a soap episode, and who considered McD's a fine dining experience. Add in a fascination with boy bands/R'n'Bollox and you can see why we might not have gelled. I took in some sushi for lunch one day - you'd have thought I was eating a rat sandwich.)

MSB

Tuesday, July 8, 2008 3:51 PM

Wow so what rock did you find those co-workers under. Not saying you have to love sushi or hate McDonalds....but wow
Yes I totally think she should try to find other and better friends, but it might not hurt to make a friendly overture to the other girls...maybe they'll get to know her and see how awesome she is or she'll get to know them and realize they suck balls and she doesn't want to hang out with them

*Sniff* Thanks guys, you're all so sweet to me!

I feel ever so silly for getting upset over this stuff. It does sound so very teenagerish (why won't they play with me?!)

Normally I'm fine making an effort to insinuate myself into their conversations when I have the energy and then ignoring them and getting on with work when I get fed up of being left out.

It just got to me badly today. I had been quite happy telling myself that they weren't doing it on purpose, they've just been friends for years both in and out of work. See, I like to think the best of people as well.
Today though, I found out that one of them is looking for a tennant for a room in her flat. I found this out by seeing the advert she had placed on the website I have been searching every day for the past 2 weeks. I've been giving a running commentary on my search for a flat. You'd think she would have mentioned something. Now don't get me wrong, I couldn't stand living with the woman (she is the most actively unpleasant of the three) but not telling me just seems quite underhanded. I gathered the courage to ask her if that was her house and didn't she think it was worth mentioning and she said that she couldn't live with someone she was working with and not to take it personally. I agreed that would be a bad idea but still feel that it would have been good to be open and honest about it.

What do you think? Am I over reacting?

Really sorry for the long rant, by the way!

no way your not overreacting this woman should have mentioned as soon as she knew you were looking for a flat .but look on the bright side would you really want to live with her she might have said yes and youd be stuck with someone you dont even speak to in your own home thated be like weird..... all the best

im just going out,i may be some time

Tuesday, July 8, 2008 4:15 PM

HUGS Oh Em what a bitch she is... definitely sounds like you don't want to be friends with them.
It doesn't matter how old you are being left out stings. It's rejection it's implying you're not someone they want to know and all I can say is their loss. You are a terrific person. You're funny, smart, sweet, a genuinely good person and loads of fun! ( Plus you have knockout legs...ooooh that could be it, they are jealous of you) They are just awful spiteful nasty twits!!

I love you. Can I come live with you instead? I could mop your fevered brow! Actually, I didn't actually ask what is up? Too absorbed with my own stuff.

Do you have the dreaded lurgy and how can we help?

Em, could I suggest that you take some of your work into the office with you? One of the venomous jobs, for preference. Or a really big 'affectionate' one.

Tuesday, July 8, 2008 4:31 PM

HUGS I love you too Em!!

I'm fine just bad allergies combined with lack of sleep gave me a nasty cough. I just need to rest and take some airborne... Nv is doing an incredible job taking care of me. Had me rest on the couch last night and cooked an incredible meal, then he cleaned it all up. This morning he made me promise to rest all day and not to do anything...plus he's making dinner tonight as well...

Bah! She's full of it. Don't believe the fevered murmuring. It might be some form of dimentia brought on by lack of oxygen and fever.

Okay, I'm just trying not to set the bar too high for anyone. She does that stuff all the time and least I can do is the same for her when she ain't feeling well.

Besides, she really puts up with a ton from me.

Kitchen great, and all finished except for painting the pantry doors. We'll have to take them out to the garage to do, because...we have a new kitteh in teh hause!!

She's a seven year old blue tortie/tabbie Maine Coon. Which means that she is big and fluffy and very beautiful. She's also been a breeding show cat up til now, so she's not used to being a house pet. But she's learning. I spent most of yesterday coaxing her out from under the cooker, and most of today getting her off the dining room table/ whatever I was reading!

And, yeah, I'm making a stinkingly hot prawn pathia for my tea tonight.
