Things that make you go hmmm

I don't understand...

...the appeal of Paris Hilton and why her 15 minutes aren't up yet.

...why I can be bounding with energy on my way to work but as soon as I walk into my office it's as if my walls are made of kryptonite.

...why I can remember all the lyrics to Salt-n-Pepa's "Shoop" but I can't remember what I had for breakfast or why I am standing at the photocopier.

...why my landlord has not yet resolved the hot water problem in my apartment.
...why no matter how many clothes I buy, I still have nothing to wear.

...why pants sizes and underwear sizes do not match up. I wear an 8-10 pants (8 on a good day) and yet I wear a 5 or 6 in underwear.

...the attraction of Crocs. Ugh.

...why people can't just talk to each other and figure out world peace.

...why I trust the Geico Gecko more than any spokes...person? on the planet.

...why my maid hasn't come in and vacuumed or washed the dishes this week. Oh yeah, I don't have a maid. Nevermind.

...why my best hair days are on days when I'm getting my hair cut.

...what it is about politics that makes everyone corrupt.

...why George W. Bush is still in office.

...how people can be Christian and so obviously not follow Christ's teachings.

...why people still have a problem with educating our kids about sex.

...how assassination plots manage to actually kill good people (JFK, MLKJ) while evil dictators or otherwise not so great politicians remain bullet free.

...why the concept of RSVPing seems lost on some people.

...people who don't paint their walls.

...Nascar.

...why Subaru hasn't made a hybrid yet.

...whether or not "boyfriend" is an appropriate term for someone in their 30's.

...how I can leave the grocery store having spent $50 and not have any food.

...why my apartment for one month and a vacation cabin for one week can cost the same amount.

...the allure of niknaks bearing logos. How many foam doohickeys does a person need? (The answer is none in case you were wondering.)

...how photos actually get from a real event to an image on a piece of paper.

...why English people automatically sound smarter.

...people who don't read.

I never got the undie thing, either. Although, I opt for size 7, which is fairly close to my pants size.

And crocs are fugly. And people who wear them usually look pretty stupid. I've only come across a handful of people with them, though.

A Phone Conversation: Me: "In the spirit of full disclosure, I should let you know I am signed up to auction myself off at a batchelor/batchelorette auction next month." Friendster Guy: "How much does a single girl go for these days? Will I have to bring my checkbook?" Right thing to say Friendster Guy. Right thing to say. Also, today is Compliment Day. According to this site , this day was created in 1998 by Kathy Chamberlin, of Hopkinton, NH. and Debby Hoffman, of Concord, NH. Sad that it took until 1998 to have a Compliment Day while National Pie Day began in 1986 (thanks American Pie Council and Crisco), and National Handwriting Day started way back in 1977. Spread the love today. Compliment 5 people. By the way, you're fabulous. * Mycology = the study of fungus

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge...

TMI re: Nuvaring

Let's just state right up front that this post is going to contain too much information. It's about birth control, the prescription kind. Any modern straight gal must think about it unless they like playing russian roulette with their ovaries. (Thanks N for correcting my previously heterocentric sentence.) There is nothing fun about birth control except that you can kind of have sex without freaking out that you may get pregnant. Of course you may get pregnant anyway (joy! rapture!) simply because the gods are not smiling upon you and you are the one in 100 for whom the statistics suck. Pros of birth control: You are less likely to get pregnant. Sometimes your skin clears up. Less severe cramping. You have control of your own destiny, sort of. Cons of birth control: If you are on the pill you have to remember to take it every day. Sometimes, as in my case, it can make you think you are bipolar, even at a low dose. It's just a general pain in the rear end that makes you par...
