Arabella ate her weight in my gummy bears today. I didn’t even leave them out- THEY WERE IN MY BACKPACK. Which she SOMEHOW got into, ripped the plastic off, and devoured them ALL before I got home. I’ve used an entire half-gallon of oxystrength pet stain remover on my poor carpet today alone. That thing cost me 12 bucks, supposed to last a month, IN A DAY. And don’t even get me started on how bad her puke smells, with the sweet gummy scent combined with her acid bile/food from this morning. (Apologies for the graphic nature of this paragraph.) If I wanted to clean throw-up all day, I would have a kid.

I password-protected a post I wrote about two weeks ago. There are no juicy secrets in it, sorry, I just don’t want that information about me available to the general public. Future protected posts will more than likely be coming, and the password will be the same for all. If you want the password, comment on this post or send me an email.

The House passed the healthcare reform bill tonight. Remember when I wrote this, about my friend who freaks the fuck out at anyone who could be remotely liberal? Yeah, guess who wrote a Facebook status almost immediately, sparking debate (not bad) and namecalling (bad.) WHICH PISSES ME OFF ALL OVER AGAIN. Shit, I don’t care if you hate the bill. Honestly, I’m not quite fond of it myself. But to write “FOR ALL YOU IGNORANT LIBERALS….I’M SURE THIS IS ALL GEORGE BUSH’S FAULT.”? Really? Do you really need the “for all you ignorant liberals” part? As I recall, there were plenty of conservatives blaming Bush 24/7. So shut the fuck up. *P.S. Just for you, one-who-wrote-Facebook-status, I’m not-so-secretly glad that someone poked a hole in your credibility and commended a liberal for taking the high road. HA!*

To the surprise of no one, I’m pretty sure I’m failing approximately half my classes.

My mom hit a deer last week, driving my dad’s car. We took it to the dealer, along with my car (scheduled maintenance), to make sure nothing was technically wrong with it and to order new parts. The service technician propped the hood open to check the engine, stuck his hand in there, and pulled out… OUR HOUSE PHONE. From the engine. All my mom said was, “THAT’S where that went!”

I bought a new LCD HDTV. It is gorgeous and the most grown-up thing I have ever bought myself. I’ll be living off Ramen and water for the next thirty years, but who cares? I HAVE A FUCKING SWEET TV! Also on the home-y note, I’m painting my rooms dark blue and dark green, a definite upgrade from the current dingy, contractor-painted colors.

Get ready for tomorrow… where I detail everything that I’ve been feeling toward MFH for the past, oh, ever! (Oh, and in case anyone noticed, I didn’t do a first of the month post for November. Because absolutely nothing is happening in November.)

I’m siiiick

Wednesday morning, I woke up for my 9-11:50 classes, went OH HELL NO, and fell back asleep.

Yesterday morning, I got my ass up and went to class. Began wanting to rip my throat out around noon.

This morning, I shoved all my awful feelings aside and went to two of my three classes, thanks to not wanting to fail a major requirement and having an unmakeupable test.

SOMEONE GAVE ME STREP THROAT. AGAIN.

Head, meet wall.

You know what I can’t stand?

People that are utterly disrespectful when it comes to political views. (Or, really, anyone disrespectful at all, but I’m talking political right now.)

I have a friend who is extremely conservative. There isn’t one issue he’s even remotely moderate about, let alone anywhere near liberal. You have to tiptoe around anything political around him unless you want an earful of his opinions.

Now, I’m all for debate, but I’m also all for acknowledging the other side and realizing that your way isn’t necessarily the only way.

This friend of mine commented on Len’s friend’s Facebook status, which said something to the effect of “So-and-so is very close to calling himself a Democrat.” Said friend of mine had a conversation with Len’s friend, then followed up with “All I heard from that was ‘sorry I am totally wrong…wow Democrats sure are stupid.’ Lol” Len then got involved, said straight out “No need to be disrespectful”, to which said friend responded “Respect is definitely something you can’t learn from a typical liberal, ha nice try though.”

HOW DISGUSTING IS THAT.

Said friend refuses to even hear out the other side. I consider my political alignment moderate, holding opinions that fall both on the liberal side and on the conservative side. If I even briefly mention a left-wing point of view, he goes BALLISTIC and WILL NOT drop the issue till I either hang up the phone or walk away. As you can see, he also flat-out name calls people (anyone!) stupid, brainless, unintelligent for having liberal opinions.

And he wonders why I refuse to date him. I can’t ever be with someone who not only is so completely disrespectful, but also someone who absolutely refuses to accept that HE could be the wrong one.

What NOT to do if you want a girl.

~Call/text her incessantly. ”What’s up?” – ”How are you doing?” – “Whatcha up to today?” – ”Wanna hang out?” NO. Being clingy and desperate is extremely (EXTREMELY!) unattractive.
~Act cocky. Confidence is hot; acting cooler than us is not. It’s a fine line. Get it right.
~Text us, and when we text you back, either don’t text US back or text one word. Responding to us/having a conversation with us isn’t desperate, it’s being a human.
~Talk about your old girlfriends. WE DON’T CARE… and we are NOT them!
~Assume we all want the same thing from you. Not all of us want relationships.
~Be shy/awkward/weird. The majority of us like guys that know how to act normal around other people.
~Ask us out on text/Facebook, etc. Not only does that make you seem afraid of rejection (another unattractive quality), when our friends ask us, “how did he ask you out??” we’ll have to explain how weird you are.
~Keep checking your phone if we’re on a date. We try to abstain from this and expect you to as well.

And the number one thing not to do if you want a girl::

Tell your friends you’re sleeping with us when you aren’t and never have! We will find out. And you will be crossed off our list for forever.

Behind every breath hides a word

I feel as though all I’ve been writing about for the past two months is how exhausted I am. And let’s face it, that’s boring to read. There are some specific topics I wish to blog on, but for today, I have a few random things to get off my chest.

Like, for instance, how much I HATE stupid drivers. I spend a ridiculous amount of my life driving. (Really, if you think about it, it’s amazing I’ve only gotten one speeding ticket and one parking ticket so far…) Anyway, I do NOT want to deal with idiots every single damn minute of my life. I’m trying to go the speed limit now, right, or at least not more than five over it, and there are these ASSHOLES who insist on coming up behind me, way less than a fucking FOOT from my car. And I’m all, YOU FUCKING DUMBASS, I CAN’T FUCKING AFFORD ANOTHER SPEEDING TICKET SO GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME. Only of course they can’t hear me, and that fact just pisses me off even more.

Moving right along…

Remember when I wrote this about MFH? You know… when I swore I’d stop calling him MFH. To be fair, I HAVE stopped calling him MFH, but now that I’m writing about him on my blog again and I can’t use his real name, what am I to call him? I guess keep in mind that I really no longer think of him as MFH.
BUT. You know how in that post I wrote how I was done with him? HAHA. I’m not. Because he has to swoop in, be all “heh heh heeeeeyyy Katie whatchu up to?” and frankly, I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I now know, though, that I can have him if I want him. I thought about it, and this kind of saddens me, because I really liked the chase. At least I get the chance to follow through… maybe.

That’s basically all I have to say. For now.
