Pointless Announcements

I ate quite a lot of crap today, and it doesn't feel good in my tummy. Back to being Healthy Heather tomorrow.

Yesterday seemed like five days worth of things stuffed into one.

Zachariah had his first home game, at nine in the morning (which meant getting him there at eight) They won, 38/13. The coach actually called the whole team over in the fourth quarter and I am pretty sure he told the boys to ease up a little because they were smearing the other guys so bad, at least the next few plays our boys seemed to just lay down and let themselves be tackled a bit. Zach got more game time than any of his previous games and his confidence seemed to be raising quite a bit- he was strutting out on the field a bit after plays and hustling without hesitation into position. He mainly plays offensive wide receiver, but gets put in for defense every now and then. His confidence went up after blocking a touchdown pass, but near the very end let another one through and seemed to not be pleased with himself, of course.

My friend came form out of town to watch the game and after we hung out and had a couple of drinks at my house and traded a couple of kids- she took all the boys and I kept the girls.

Went James nephews birthday party way out of town one direction and then headed all the way the other direction out to North Portland for dinner at my sisters with friends and my mom and everyone, where a joke about the leftover chili rellenos I brought (because there were too many for us to eat) was taken too far and I ended up getting upset enough to walk away and quietly throw them in the trash. But then every person there, instead of just letting me be for a couple of minutes and dropping it had to in turn follow me and try to talk to me which embarrassed me enough to want to leave. It was childish on my part, but I am pretty annoyed with my brother in law acting like he is the only person in this family that can cook- to the point that even when the dinner is at my house he takes over my kitchen. Mostly I was just seriously embarrassed at that point and trying to just hide out by my van alone but James talked me down- two particular points- it was weird to have the situation reversed, usually I am the one trying to talk him into feeling better about stupid shit, and poor me- everyone loves me so much they had to all chase me to see if I was okay.

Moral of the story. Apparently pepper gets very cranky over silly things when she is around multitudes of people for 16 hours straight.

I've only seen pictures of your pies, but I can tell they're the most delicious pies to ever have pied. So next time your your brother in law or anyone else teases you about anything else you might ever make, you have the earned and privileged right to simply say, "PFFFT.....PIE".

haha. thanks Alecia.

After being so sick for so long and losing nearly a year in the hospital, I think he just wants to strut his hard earned health and ability to get up and do something that takes effort.

I just got my back waxed for the first time so I'm smooth as a baby now.

Embarrassing moment came later when as I got into my car. Two cute women needed help jump starting their car and I didn't know where the button was to open my hood, then took me a while to realize I needed to pull the button. I still helped though, in the end.

I'm so dim sum times.

It's okay Mike, it could have been worse.

That reminded me of this time three or four years ago when my sister and I went grocery shopping together. When we checked out the cashier was this little scrawny probably eighty year old lady and the most sarcastic thing I ever met.

When we got out to the car we found that the battery was dead. It wasn't from leaving the lights on or anything, it was just really old and needed replaced, in fact I had the new battery in the car but hadn't gotten around to putting it in yet because I am some sort of dope at times.

Well we tried putting the new one in and it still wouldn't start so then decided to put the old battery back in and and hook the pathetic little emergency cables I had up to the new battery and sit and wait and hope for a while.

After an hour or so, with all the food melting in the heat, the car would just barely whine but not even begin to turn over. At this time we are scratching our heads and trying to decide what to do when the little sarcastic old lady comes out on her break and starts picking on us. We tell her our problem and she is even meaner, at that point this very old man in a honken old Cadillac comes up and asses the problem. They both shake their heads at the poor helpless girls and the old man has us roll the car out into the lot so his can reach it while the old lady goes off to her car, muttering the whole time about 'Kids These Days' and comes back with a set of cables that looked like an anaconda bred with a power line, old man and old lady put their heads together under the hood for a moment and then both reemerge, old man goes and reves his beast of a car like there is no tomorrow and then they both tell me to fire it up.

they sent us off laughing at us the whole way.

Also, about a year ago, my battery died and I hooked my cables up backwards by accident. Suddenly there was a terrible sweet smell a head splitting whine and smoke everywhere and two seconds later the cables start melting as I look on. Burnt the shit out of my hand and gave myself a nasty shock ripping those things off before the battery exploded.

I just bought myself a new bed frame, mattress, and bedding. I love being able to buy shit that I need. Oh and two new bras.

I'll post pics of my bed if I get a chance later this week.

up studying all night cause I have a huge test in the morning
took a dose of vitamin A and now all I wanna do is masturbate and watch the stewart/o'reilly debate and watch my cat to see what she does at night

...maybe this belonged in the TMI thread.

motha

Does vitamin A make one horny?

If so, that is useful information.

I had no idea this happened.

I am now scared to open my hood.

And.... I am officially out of the loop.

was wondering why all the carrot juice I've been drinking recently hadn't had any noticeable affect on my libido.

Jess, the way I wrote that sounds like the thing exploded, which it did not, but I have been told it is a likely scenario had I not ripped the cables off. And it sort of makes sense, that if you boiled battery acid inside a sealed container it would probably explode. My grandpa would be so annoyed with me about that situation.

The Stewart/O'Reilly debate was pretty eh. Above all, it was supposed to be funny, and I laughed maybe 5 times.

I enjoyed watching it.

EDIT_
That woman had zero authority though, I was embarrassed for her.

thai green curry...so hot...mouth on fire...

Do you watch The Daily Show? I would've thought you didn't.

I do. Also The Colbert Report. I know we disagree on a lot, but... you know... they're funny and stuff.

That they are.

It's cold outside.

Except that Jon Stewart isn't funny and that's why he yells so much because unfunny people think that if their jokes are louder then people will think they're funnier because deep down inside they that they aren't indeed funny. Colbert cracks me up though.

Jon Stewart is funny because Jew.

Also, I appreciate you respecting me enough to not assume I knew about the debate cuz of the O'Reilly Factor instead. Then again, I'm not a 60+ year old, so maybe you were just being deductive.

I watched a lecture online today because she wasn't in and I was like, "Why can't we just have all our lectures online?!?!" and then my cat went absolutely crazy for ten minutes and then later calmed down and sat in front of my laptop and then the phone rang and actually it would have been much more pleasant to go to uni and away from everything. Argh!

Distractions aside I did a fair amount of work this afternoon and feel very on top of everything. Phew.

I never, until just now, considered the possibility that anyone anywhere watches his show.

But yeah, I would've assumed you did except I think I confused you with Giggan who once mentioned how horrible he thought they were. I remember being surprised by that. I think I might have responded... "But... but... funny..."

Sigh.

Not gettin' where all that comes from. He and I don't even agree on a type of Libertarianism. I'm not even an Ayn Rand fan.

xkcd, you're the only website that'll ever understand me.

{I had a hard time with Ayn Rand because I found myself enthusiastically agreeing with the first 90% of every sentence, but getting lost at 'therefore, be a huge asshole to everyone.'}

I got a haircut. It was the first haircut I have paid for in about 5 years. Its fancy and I will post pictures soon.
Oh also I am broke.

Met a totally beautiful American girl in one of my classes today.

You aren't supposed to be there to meet American girls, Fano.

Well not recently. Now I forget you're libertarian. This was like a year ago when I didn't know your name.

I haven't read Atlas Shrugged but I LOVED The Fountainhead.

I also met a pretty cute and nerdy French girl!

That's more like it.

SONOFABITCHSUNALLERGY!

Back to the doctors I go.

Thanks Pepper.

At least I helped someone.

I am soooooooooooooooooo sleepy.

Damn, that's awhile ago. Yeah, these days I don't think I label myself so much.

I never read The Fountainhead. I guess I should say I didn't give Ayn Rand enough of a chance after reading about the metaphysics she likes so much.

I don't wanna get all wrapped up in that philosophy again, though. Sooo... dunno if I'll read The Fountainhead anytime soon.

You two should date each other. I know I'm not the only one thinking that, either.

I've been refraining from telling them to get a room for a while.

i concur and please film the date for group scrutiny.

She might know a bit too much about me to ever let that happen. Also, I thought Amber would think that to be a bit masturbatory.

Same here.

True love is not out of your reach.

I want a back rub, a nap, and to be little spoon.

It's objectively good. And by that I mean, the story is entertaining. Didn't even notice the length.

Just for no reason, putting it out there, I value our friendship far too much to risk ruining it with eye contact. It will probably happen anyway though. We've got too much in common and too few miles between us.

If it happens, this will have to happen. I could probably get that other guy I'm seeing to do it, if he's not busy.

nevermind

I am freaked out

Fiiiiine, I'll give it a shot. And by that, I mean I'll go to Barnes & Noble, sit in the aisle and read a few pages. I might also buy it.

Many a friendship has been ruined through staring contests. I mean, not since 5th grade, but I see your point.

Nevermind, too, I guess.

Tell him to put those little effects from that Blind Date show.

Sorry. I am trying to avoid posting all the ridiculous things that just seem to barrel over my life while I sit quietly trying to make no noise.

This is the first year I won't be making Jude's birthday cake. But I asked one of my baker buddies if she would be able to and she said yes. It's a little bittersweet. I'm thinking the uber positive is that I won't have as much to do the night before.

these store brand crackers are depressing the shit out of me.

i should have sprung the extra dollar fiddy to get the Ritz crackers. i bet those won't break under the pressure of this mediocre tasting spinach dip.
