Pointless Announcements

Trev: Yeah my friend said it is hard to talk to girls, and I said just say "Hi. How's it going?" and he is all, no I mean like nice sweet talking, then say "You're beautiful" and he is all I can't say that! "Why not? if it's true? they are just other human beings. It isn't hard at all"

Have I mentioned I am about to have two teenage boys in my house, before the end of the year.

No wonder my hair is greying.

Anthony asked me to bake a Halloween cake on Monday. Not cupcakes, but a cake. Not before Monday, because he said not until it's actually October.

Amber do you have any suggestions/recipes for a Halloween cake? I have food coloring, Halloween sprinkles, and all kinds of icing.

I've never made halloween cake before, cupcakes yes.

You could make a little bone yard on top of it with iced cookies broken in half. Or do a red velvet cake with white icing and a spider web in black across the top.

Fuck my life, this wisdom tooth was a bitch. It took a whole ten minutes to have it pulled out, and at some point the anesthetic wore off. I'm in so much pain I think it evens out for the last one, which only hurt a couple of hours.

And my cheek is swelling and I'm afraid to chew because the inside is all puffed up and I could bleed without noticing.

My bed is really squeaky/creaky. It's annoying.

Maybe my bed isn't put together right?

Also I need to learn how to sleep in the nude because I'm tired of waking up with my boxers all twisted around.

Stair Murder Mystery solved: Sister came home wasted and fell. Lmao.

Did you get to keep the tooth?

Yes. This one is the smallest.

whew

I was hoping for murder...

If you look on Pinterest for 'halloween cake' about a million things come up!

I like this Martha Stewart graveyard cake (sounds yummy too, pumpkin spice)

Those cakes look good.

PA: My dad suggested that I join a group for people with CP. Once again, during a conversation about dating and being more active in general. I'm not going to let this bother me as much as it did when my brother suggested it. But still, it's not like I have AIDS or kids (yes I'm referencing the Donald Glover standup special). I don't have to only date other people who have my condition.

Besides, I am perfectly fine with the way I am. I have the most minor form of it you could have. I just don't have perfect dexterity in my left hand. I don't give a crap about anyone who has a problem with me being me (read: kids in elementary school and now my family at this point). Those groups are for people who have issues with who they are. Last thing I need is someone insecure with themselves.

I feel weird and a little bad for saying this last thing, but I've met some people who have it hardcore and it affects their speech and often I can't understand a word they say.

Good for you, Mike. Don't listen to them.

I just seen't a kid fall off his bicycle while talking on a cell phone and it was magical because while peddling cautiously and trying to steer with one hand, he went left, right, left, right then did a BACKFLIP even though he fell forward, but his bike kicked up, levitated above him and drop-kicked him into a bush.
And when I walked up to check on him, he was lying in the bush with his bike draped over him, one leg mangled around the steel...still gabbing on the phone. Lmao.

I like you. Until you have kids.

Thanks, kit! I just pinned a couple of cakes that I think I could handle. There are some reeeeally cool looking Halloween cakes on Pinterest for sure.

A murder happened in my livingroom...

We need a Halloween thread!

Someone make one!

You make one!

I make way too many threads.

But if no one else does within a week or two I am sure it is inevitable that I end up making one.

Debating whether or not to go to the Looper midnight showing.

Totally A'd my psychology exam tonight... alright, I probably got a B... C at worst. Definitely.

"But I'd be fine with a D... and an F wouldn't be so bad, cuz if I ace the next one, it averages out to a C."

This dumb blonde whore sat in my lucky seat and I didn't even get a moment to chat up hippygirl. I need to do s

My cheek is swollen and I can't do anything like yawning, coughing or even brushing my teeth. My mouth just won't open
And I'm in serious pain.

Do you think you should go to the doctor?

That isn't exactly normal. You might have a serious infection, even when I got dry socket (which is excruciating) I didn't swell that bad.
At the lleast you probably need some pain meds, but I am guessing antibiotics too.

No, no, Amber, this is the tooth I had pulled out yesterday. It's totally normal to still be swollen, considering how long the dentist worked on it.

I'm taking ketoprofen and stomach pills so I don't get an ulcer.

ahh. I thought it was from some days ago.

No, that one was awesome. It only hurt a few hours, during the first day. This one, however, is a bitch.

I'm leaving the fourth one for some time in the not-so-near future.

As long as its not still bleeding... The morning after L had his out, his pillow was covered in blood. I had to throw it out, it was so gross!

Last night I dreamt I had to choose between my high school crush or my boyfriend. I picked my boyfriend and it definitely wasn't a mistake.

Oh, it stopped bleeding about 10 minutes after I left the dentist's. My only problem right now is the pain and not being able to eat from a normal-sized spoon.

After ditching the idiots I was hanging out with, I went to hang out at my favorite pub. Met some really cool people to talk to, and got some networking opportunities. I'm such a yuppie these days.

Man, I'm listening to the radio (Dutch) while at work, and the last hour has been hilarious. The DJ is wasted and is messing up the whole show. They did some experiment to see if you get better at lying when you're drunk, so the DJ had to drink a lot. Mind you, it's only 10AM.

I'm all up in the raising of teenage boys. Jack just turned 17 on the 21st and Joe is 14. Jack is still in full on breakup mode and Joes voice has dropped several octives and his leg fuzz is turning into leg hair. Joe is the baby and is still cuddly with me, but OfCourse that's probably because he loves to have his feet rubbed, and who else is gonna do that but your mom. Jack is in need of knowing how to deal with the ex who is making him jealous and acting like she don't care. He's still in puppy love and doesn't understand the game of pretending your swamped with social obligations, even though you're just sitting in your room thinking of her, to make her jealous and think you've moved on. He doesn't know how and flat out said that yesterday. He's asking me what to say and do on everything. I am helping, but he needs to do this on his own. He's trying to turn into a man. I don't want him to treat girls bad, which he never has. I also really don't like the whole play games things either, but she's hurting him on and on. He has to do something. I keep thinking hell figure it out or move on, but he is still having a really hard time with it and she's not helping by letting him know she's hanging out with the guy she cheated on him with. I'm at a loss really? Sorry for the rant/vent.

Irina, I've got so much love for those in tooth pain! It's the worst thing in the world. I hope you feel better soon xxx

Thanks Hattie. And thanks for liking me Jess.

I love how good my hair looks with so little effort I need to put into it.

hate u

My ex husband is being a turd face today. Giancarlo has been planning to go to a football game about 20 miles away at another school for the last two weeks. He's been talking to a girl who goes there. His school and hers are playing tonight and she asked if he'd meet her there. The kid's been looking forward to this - even planning what he's going to wear but trying to be all cool and aloof about it, right? The last minute issue is that his best friend Jessie can't go with him as planned (and provide the ride there and back) because he's been scheduled to work tomorrow morning. So...I told Jeff about G's plans and mentioned that he'd need a ride there and back (it's Jeff's weekend to have the boys) and he was like NO, I'M NOT DRIVING 45 MINS THERE AND BACK I DIDN'T PLAN ON THAT, I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT BLAHBLAHBLAH I'M RAINMAN AND GOTTA WATCH JUDGE WOPNER AT 4:00 AND BUY UNDERWEAR AT K-MART.

Can y'all believe that? Giancarlo has been looking forward to this, but he doesn't give two shits. He can't ever be bothered to do anything spontaneously. It's twenty miles! He's such a selfish asshole sometimes. I am so glad not to be married to him because it sucked ass. Boring old man. Gah.

Anyway, me and Drew will take him to the game and pick him up because it ain't no thing and he should be able to have fun and look forward to things without having to be disappointed because of the grown ups in his life. I'll never say anything negative about Jeff in front of him or anything but I swear...what a jerk.

Stubborn old fool. How old is he that he can't be bothered when it comes to helping his son get some action?

He's 46 going on 82.

If Alecia writes a very thorough parenting book, I'd have a kid just to see how much awesome and sanity I could fit into one human.

You're pretty likable.

You on the other hand...

How long is it though?

You think he'd be celebrating 36 times this year. Then again, they tell that after a certain age, it's no longer a celebration.

I really have no idea what I'm doing, but I do hope I'm doing it right!

My PA is that my boyfriend taught me how to play Risk and did the whole "Do you want me to go easy on you?" thing and I said fuck that because that's no fun at all.

But neither is having all of Europe and half of Africa under your thumb, only to have it ripped away, leaving you with not much more than 4 armies in ALASKA. I don't care how pretty Camille's pictures were. Being Waterloo'd is still being Waterloo'd.

I need to find an online Risk game so I can practice in secret and destroy him.
