I'm feeling like listening to bad dance pop.
I want to move.
I have a feeling that I would look like the dude that makes a fool of himself on the internet. Eh. Who cares. :)
I keep having this thought...
I want desperately to be funny in my writing, but I am not. I don’t have writers timing. I am a story teller. Emphasis on the “teller” part.
I keep thinking that I should make videos. I want to make videos, but I make excuses about not having time.
Maybe I should just start talking…

TOP TEN MYTHS ABOUT INTROVERTS →
maddiehope:
vespertinemoments:
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.
Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid...
“Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.”
– Albert Einstein (via acheron)
Coincidence or third time is the charm? →
I just love getting the run around
I have done everything I have been asked. I haven’t complained, I have asked for justification, I have given everything asked of me. Yet you keep finding more and more stuff that you just can’t live with. WTF?
You have my spreadsheets, What else do you want?
I swear to God I think this is personal.
I'm sorry, what did you say? →

Lunchtime chat with the hubby
J: Did you get the email I sent you?
Me: The one about the dude you went to school with who was busted with child pornography and arrested for using a cover camera to take pictures up girls skirts?
J: Yeah, did you catch that he was teaching at guilford?
Me: Yeah. Why?
J: I think I am going to send my old profs there an email, tell them they are fucked. Then when they ask if I want the job say, yeah for tenure and $150k.
Me: Why $150k?
J: because that way we can move, you can focus on your studies and start your church.
Me: That would be cool.
J: Too bad I won't actually do that.
Me: Eh, we'd be hours from either of our parents, and we just put in a brand new floor that you love. Maybe we aren't meant to leave Lexington just yet.

Phone Call with B on Tuesday
Me: Tell me 3 good things that happened today.
B: I went to the library.
Me: That’s good.
B: I didn’t get to check out a book though, I didn’t have a library card. So my second good thing is that daddy took me to the library to get a library card right after school.
Me: That’s great. Are you excited?
B: Yes. I like the library. I love the books. I got a Dr....
Coming home:
I have been gone for 5 days, so this morning was the first morning that the boys have seen me since Friday. I come downstairs to see Q watching TV.
Q: Mom, I need you to get me...
Realization dawns
Q (standing up for a hug): I missed you.
My heart soared just a bit. So I hugged him and said,
Me: I missed you too.
He then asked for a cup of milk put on his clothes. The moment had passed. But I had it.

Quick survey of staff here: no one appears to have a tattoo. Do you?
I have two. I want one more before summer’s over.
Will have to show this to my folks when they complain about C’s tattoos.
I do not have a tattoo. I know what I would get should I ever decide to do so, but I am too afraid of pain to submit to that torture for the sake of art.

Truthful Thursday confessions...
In a way, egirl got co-opted and my freedom to actually say everything I felt was stripped because the person I had called my best friend discovered it along with my other blog and read daily. Egirl also has a following I would like to be rid of, in the form of a guy I talked about in a previous post. I love egirl, egirl is where I found me. I haven’t deleted her yet, but I will miss her...
Thursday, the day of the stalker...
There is a tumblr who follows me and occasionally talks to me. Mostly he wants me talk dirty and tell him fantasies. Honestly, while I think he is a nice guy, I have no interest in playing that game.
This guy reads my blogs, “likes” them and yet doesn’t seem to understand that I am trying to make my life happier. And happiness for me doesn’t mean giving some random...
Sometimes I need a change of scenery.
Today is one of those days. I need a place where only a few know who I am or that I exist. I need a fresh start.
So here I am, returning to a blog I haven’t touched in like a year or more. Maybe I will set up permanent residence here. But for now, I am just going to enjoy the relative anonymity.

6 Strange Facts About Einstein.
lickystickypickyme:
Einstein Was a Fat Baby with a large Head: When Albert’s mother, Pauline Einstein gave birth to him, she thought that Einstein’s head was so big and misshapen that he was deformed!
As the back of the head seemed much too big, the family initially considered a monstrosity. The physician, however, was able to calm them down and some weeks later the shape of the head was...

“You think that it’s not magic that keeps you alive? Just ‘cause you understand the mechanics of how something works, doesn’t make it any less of a miracle… which is just another word for magic. We’re all kept alive by magic, Sookie. My magic’s just a little different from yours, that’s all.”

Dear Tumblr,
I am a geek. I have been a geek for as long as I have been alive. It is all just a part of who I am.
I love science, I love understanding, I love logic. I have crushes on Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman. And had they been my college professors, I would have been a theorhetical physicist.
I love being a geek.
Love,
me.
I should have been a theorhetical physicist or...
What would Feynman do?
Oh wait, I know the answer to that, and it won’t help.

Last Night on the Science Channel
I watched a show called “If we Had No moon.” Two things I noticed about this show:
1. Very little science was actually involved in the making of this show. What I mean is that I am all for possiting theories about Earth and life and all that, but that doesn’t mean the science channel should put up on TV something that sounds more like the ramblings of a lunatic than something...
My dream was to be an astronaut...
Stupid non-correctable vision.

You’re right. Also, a decent woman will not let a man who she’s not into, do things for her, because that’s taking advantage of a person.
Women (delusional ones) often think they can do the same thing, make a man like them. Can’t make anybody like you—it’s either there or it’s not.
More words of wisdom from Bennybing, that a lot of folks should listen to.
Learned...
