This is why we can't have nice things.
Oi!
I'm 20 weeks and halfway there with bubba number 2. Finding out what flavour on Monday.
Every time you say flavor Sarah, I get hungry. It's a lil disturbing lol. Also pep has awesome kids, even Gabe who is getting grounded for posting on here without permission.
PA: I was supposed to go to the DMV today to see if I could get things done earlier but I decided to sleep in instead. Plus I had to do dishes and move my car out of the driveway...and pack stuff up for the weekend. I realize that this fucked up situation is all for the best but I'm gonna need to be able to drive this car ASAP. I'm running low on funds and I have a bunch of wedding stuff to help out with.
A classmate brought us girls chocolates today, it was very nice. I bought myself freesias after school, because I was dying to get some of that particular colour. Long, boring day, unable to focus because of *certain* dream images popping in my mind. Sensory dreams kick ass.
I just made a post but it got ate.
I was just saying HI KIDS! I've been busy with work, out of town company, wedding prep with my cousin, and stuff. Also taking a little break from the internets. Hope all is well with everyone. Be good, y'all! xoxoxo
Yay, Alecia! 
We're thinking about you!
Woo, you're alive and well!
Good to see you, Alecia.
YOU ALL STILL EXIST!!!! YAY
I'm losing my patience and I have a lot to wait for something, but I hope everything will be worth the wait.
Wait, what?
So, because of the fact that I cashed a lot of my stocks to pay for school, I thought I'd have to pay this year because they take taxes when you do that.
Nope.
Because my mom is some sort of wizard, she did some fancy math and when she took it to the tax guy, he was impressed and so my parents and I are both getting money back! Yay! And I'm getting a good chunk more than I expected.
What, what, Sarah? I'm waiting for an event in the near future, I've prepared myself for it, and now I can't wait for it.
Also, I always worry that when I say things, they come out weird and my opinion ends up sounding worse than I wanted to.
Today, I was trying to express the fact that I thought it was a bad idea to have unprotected sex with multiple different men, but it sort of came out like me judging a mutual friend (who was absent), but I wasn't trying to do that. No one's mad at me, I just don't want to be/ don't like to be misunderstood.
Next time word it 'it's a bad idea to have unprotected sex'. It sounds better, I would've taken offense at that one, too. And I do, whenever people say it.

How dare you? Typical man, trying to rob me of skin to skin contact. The STDs make it more intimate but you don't even care about my feelings.
Maybe being judged is what she needs.
It is a bad idea to have unprotected sex with multiple different men.
It is a bad idea to have unprotected sex at all unless you are in a monogamous relationship.
She is putting her life at risk, and they men she sleeps with are putting their life at risk, and if they are boinging her without a rubber they are probably boinging other women without rubbers and all these people are being idiots.
But hey, on the other hand. Don't say anything at all actually. The gene pool could use a good chlorinating.

That's exactly my concern, people spreading disease without thinking.
Jess, I'm sorry I'm trying to take away your access to herpes, everyone's favorite incurable STD. I'll think twice next time.
Irina, the conversation was much more indirect/roundabout than that which is why I was concerned about being misunderstood.
I've had two herpes scares. I'm 100% clean, but holy hell I was an idiot for not learning the first time around. Never again will I imagine myself dropping all of my plans and completely devoting my life to curing herpes. Seriously, I think I could do it. But I'd need a good reason first. Like having it.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Herpes scares are awful. It's only funny the first couple times your herps jump out and say BOO! After, it just gets rude.
Or when they make ghost noises at night while you sleep.
And when the stranger in bed with you says, "What was that?", you have to say your house is haunted, then they get scared and don't want to noof anymore.
Imagine if herpes jumped off you and ran around like disobedient pets? And you had to chase them around because if they get outside and get caught, you could be held criminally responsible. Imagine your herpes hiding under the couch or sneaking up on your cats or running around the backyard like unleashed dogs, wagging their tails and digging holes and pissing on bushes while your neighbors watch you yell at them and try to grab them by their collars.
"Zessy, get OVER HERE!"
You named it 'Zessy' after someone from a dorky TV show or something.
Don't you have to have an active outbreak of herpes to be properly diagnosed? I mean, they have to swap and culture a sore, I think.

I wish.
@Alecia
That's how they know to a certainty, and that's only for a positive. A vast majority of carriers are asymptomatic, which sucks cuz they don't know they have it and spread it, and if they do know, they can't know when they're shedding. So if the case is that you're simply unsure about whether you're a carrier, then they'll take a blood sample and see if they detect certain parts of the virus's DNA. On top of that, you should take that test several weeks after exposure, as it takes time for the virus to develop. First outbreak usually comes out anywhere between 2 days and 2 weeks after exposure. So both times, I waited 3-4 weeks after.
I've never drank more than the night after my first results came back clean. I could only imagine how much I would've drank if they came back positive.

I had to edit this because it said "hat hotdogs" and I laughed about it for a good long while.
First of all, I laughed too.
Now I have two questions. Is "tea" a meal time? Like "lunch" or "dinner?" Or did you eat a hotdog with a cup of tea? Because as an unclassy American, my main interaction with tea is in iced form or as a child during which I'd pull out my best, brightly colored plastic set (my fanciest one, the one I'd use if The Queen visited, had princess stickers on it). Of course none of this actually involved any TEA per se, but it's the idea that counts. To me, tea can be a beverage but also an experience and maybe you don't need one to have the other.
So when you say you had hotdogs for tea, it's like hearing someone say they threw on their best tuxedo to go give their muddy hound a hosing off and then ate a hotdog. And I love hotdogs. And hounds.
My second question is, what did you put on the hotdog?
Tea is dinner! I had diced onion (raw, cuz it's crunchy) and mustard and ketchup. My burps still tasted like hotdogs until after I had yaki soba for tea tonight.
I don't really like the other kind of tea! I like iced tea a lot though and I really need to make it at home.
All this time I thought it was like Fourth Meal.
I was all, in my head: yeah those Europeans are all fatties too. They just don't get called on it 'cause they're all fancy about it.
What about second breakfast?
Si vis pacem, para bellum
I feel like I've eaten second breakfast and fourth meal and all the rest today and I am still hungry.
And elevensies?
I thought second breakfasts were what brunches were.
I keep getting distracted at work. I keep thinking of material for my set and wanting to write it down. Hopefully, my work doesn't suffer too much.
Food and herpes. I missed you crazy kids.
This is why we can't have nice things.
So i let Gabriel go to his first unchaperoned concert this evening, with his whole group of friends. At a smaller venue downtown.
He calls me, yelling, "Mom! I just saw Flavor Flav!"
I'm thinking ... what? I thought this was a rock show. I didn't agree to any delinquent rap nonsense...
"Performing?"
"What? I can't hear you! He was walking around! I didn't get to meet him! Surrounded by too many people!"
"Oh. That's nice. Awesome." ... what did I let my kid go off to alone!!???
"I can't hear you! I gotta go!"
Hehe that's so cool.
How old is he now? 15? Yeah, he might actually be past due for getting into some trouble on his own anyway. Not to mention he called you while he was at a friggin' concert. You've got nothing to worry about.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
He turned sixteen in December.
he haws always been pretty level headed, but also with a terrible spontaneous streak. He will go forever being logical and calm and then out of nowhere do the loudest or weirdest or stupidest thing ever.
But yeah. I gotta laugh. My teenager called me, his mom, of all people, from the show. But still worry, anyway. Can't help it, the lot of a parent.
I am glad he is having a great time.
I don't really like the other kind of tea! I like iced tea a lot though and I really need to make it at home.
I had no idea!

He was probably just playing some easy listening.
PA - I got up early because I can't stop thinking about Rome. Yesterday I found out I definitely did not get the other position at my office that I had applied for. It really sucks, but now we were finally able to book our trip to Rome (Because I will just continue my current job, and won't need time to learn new things). But yeah... Prices have gone up (ugh...) and now it's hard to find an okay price for okay flight times. We decided to wait and see what happens with the prices over the weekend, but I'm sort of scared they're going to be raised even more and we won't be able to go anymore. This sucks!
Noooo Imke! I think they just appreciate you so much where you are they're reluctant to let you go! (Like in Friends when Rachel's boss gives her a mean reference because she doesn't want her to get promoted away from her office!) (Friends has everything!)
Had a delicious/disgusting ready meal for tea tonight. We've eaten so badly this week, I feel guilty. I'm handing in this massive work project thing on Monday though and I'm going to start eating properly after that...maybe.
Oh man, I've been in withdrawal. What the hell has been up with the site?
I was sort of thinking it may be something like higher traffic because of the promotion thing for the movie?
If that is or isn't it, it seems like it at least should be gotten under control because the clock is ticking on that and every time the site goes down that is less people that will see it. Not that this is the only place that is posted necessarily. But still.
Plus all of us addicted to each other are suffering!
Yeah it's awful! I hope it gets sorted soon. I really miss this place when it's off all day.
imke, rome is awesome but horribly expansive. i think you shouldn´t wait much longer to book, prices definitely won´t drop. whit the whole pope business going on and all.
when you´re there EAT PIZZA, really it´s so much better than anywhere else in the world, it´s really on a whole different level. also, espresso, cappuccino, whatever coffee drink you prefer. AND ICE CREAM, ohh gooood, ice cream.
i hope you´re on weekend mode when you´re going
apart from overindulging, rome is awfully pretty, you`ll love it.
What the flying fucking fuck bullshit fuckity fuck fuck?? I hate people. They suck. I love you all for being words to me. I hope that when you, if only some of you, become more than that through meetings and such, that you can give me hope for more. Give me hope for the human spirit. Give me hope that individual gain can coincide with communal thinking. Give me hope that I don't have to choose one over the other.

Rome cannot be a more expensive city than Trondheim, because Norway. 
We've been very lucky to get the plane tickets that we did in the end! It ended up being cheaper than it is to fly to Amsterdam, haha.
We're going to try and find the non-touristy restaurants and enjoy real Italian food, mmm.
Psych! I've been the SmartBot all along!
Seriously though, sorry people bug you so much.
I had the most amazing sex dream about my classmate but now I'm awake and I'll just write it down so as not to forget it.
