Le Sigh

It has been over a month since I last blogged and that blog was paid for. I can’t even blame it on “life” happening because I honestly am not constantly on the go. I do have a steady social life in various mediums and on different settings, but the amount of time I sit at home, on my ass, on this computer doing absolutely nothing but chuckling and ಠ_ಠ on Reddit or YouTube is kind of ridiculous. The most productive thing I’ve managed to do is thoroughly clean my apartment’s living room. It’s seriously so clean, you guys!! I even vacuumed. Yeah, take THAT in.

I haven’t blogged because that means I have to actually think about my life and then I start having minor panic attacks on the inside. Things aren’t serious enough for them to manifest outside of my mind and chest, but I might shed a tear or two. You mean I have to think about the state of my relationship with my (ex)husband? Ew. Or how about the fact that I find my cat so damn annoying lately? I’m plagued by a lot of negative thoughts the past couple of weeks. I’m definitely on a downswing and it seems to coincide with others – or I just shines through more so than anything positive others have to say. There have been an inordinate amount of break-ups the past few weeks, though. That’s sad. I really don’t want to turn this return into a bitch fest, though, so…

Back in mid-April I visited friends & family in L.A. and I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain for the first time in YEARS with my brother and his girlfriend. It was great. They’d just opened the park to weekday use and for being so early in the season, virtually every coaster that was open was walk-on. For having spent so many years having not been on a roller coaster, that was damn amazing.

I think I should trademark the heavy sigh. I seem to do it even unintentionally and people wonder what’s wrong. Now that my mind’s gone blank, I’ll just leave this post at… The End.

Why Can’t We Be Friends?

I have a weak spot for drama. That is to say, I enjoy being a spectator. I don’t like to stir it up or being dragged into it unwillingly. I also don’t jump into drama, for the most part.

Internet drama seems to be so easy to start, be involved in and keep going. It shouldn’t be, though, considering I think it’s easier to talk to somebody one-on-one via a written chat because most people think better as or before they type out what they want to say. It’s also a little easier to confront the issue when you’re not actually face-to-face with somebody. I know I’d rather write a note or letter to somebody than to confront them.

I prefer to keep the peace. I like to get along with most people, or avoid them, than to have a rift going on. However, that’s not accounting for others who can’t be civil or sane, unfortunately. Luckily I don’t have that issue most of the time. I also can’t control how others react to one another, even as much as I’d like for others to get along. That’s not real world thinking, though. At that point, I just worry about those I care most about and myself :)

Why can’t we all just get along? Or at least be civil? Why would you have a hard time getting along with someone or being civil with them?

Oh, Blergh

Last night after work, I felt like utter crap. My body was not liking me. I don’t know if it was because I was dehydrated or hungry or if it was something else. My stomach was hurting, I had cramps, I felt light-headed and just out of it. I can’t remember the last time I felt that badly. Going to bed seemed to help, even though I could smell my husband’s stink (he prefers to shower in the mornings before work, and I’m the opposite) and that didn’t help my stomach.

I did manage to do well on french fries yesterday. Today was an early work meeting and then I was thankfully scheduled for a day shift (I’m usually working Saturday evenings). I woke up early to take the husband to work, came home and snoozed for an hour, went to the meeting, came home and snoozed for another hour and a half. That extra time was just what I needed.

Right now I’m waiting for a staff meeting to commence for us over at Ecstasy MB via ooVoo. I’m watching The Parent Trap (ah, pre-crazy Lindsay) on ABC Family and out of all the times I usually catch it on TV, this is the first time I’ve seen them include scenes involving the piercing of the years early in the movie (before they switch places) and tasting of the wine when the mom, grandfather and Lindsay’s character is at the supper table. I think I usually see it on the Disney channel, and they’ll edit those parts out. ABC Family is a subsidiary of Disney, but apparently this channel has a more “mature” audience. Obviously since have you SEEN Secret Life of the American Teenager? The topics on that show alone are directed at an older audience (even though most of the main characters are younger high schoolers).

Dennis Quaid is quite yummy. I have a thing for older, handsome guys versus young and cute. That wasn’t always the case, of course lol, and there are some exceptions (Taylor Lautner, anyone? bwahaha).
