Get the Funk Out!

Okay, so I have a confession to make....I've been a bit of an ass.  There was a huge misunderstanding that included me, my mother, and my sister...and it ended up with me getting upset over virtually nothing and probably upsetting my sister, definitely (and unnecessarily) calling her loyalties into question.  I really shouldn't have said anything.  I should have realized that what I was being told was out of context and over a year old...but in my mind my mother is infallible.  It's a flaw of mine that I should work on.

Anyway, within this conversation was imbeded my remark about how I honestly don't care what people think about me.  I'm who I am and I'm not going to change that just because I make you uncomfortable.  If you can't accept me then you can just "get the funk out".  Which led me to my most current theme song, aptly entitled Get the Funk Out.

I loved Extreme when I was in high school...and I mean really, who doesn't enjoy a couple of good looking men without their shirts on? :)




The above song is probably not very popular.  I'm not exactly sure they got the kind of fame that I wished for them; however, here is a song that you may have heard.  Enjoy!

I forgot...*sigh*

So I gave up meat for Lent.  Today's the first day of Lent.  I bought a chicken carbonara sandwich from Quiznos...we're gonna pretend that today is Sunday lol.

Today's Rants:

1. A week full of fail that's only half over *sigh*
2. Classes that are colder than the outside with the falling snow.
3. Having to wear heels for 12 hours today...my poor feet.
4. Getting flirted with by sexy men ... in a friendly way.
5. Not having enough time to spend with my son.
6. Being too tired to study for exams in the morning.
7. Giving up meat for Lent and then forgetting on the first day and eating chicken....

Can I have a redo on this week please?

Today's Happys:

1. Getting to see Victoria randomly two times today!
2. Getting gluten free communion.
3. Evolution Sunday and learning how to embrace my inner fish.
4. Mardi Gras celebration at church.
5. Dancing with my son.
6. Being told that I'm loved in spite of my loud, in-your-face personality because I'm a wonderfully caring and loving person.
7. Realizing that people actually take the time to see the other side of me.
8. Having 2 Drag Queen performances at the gay bar we're going to for my birthday on Saturday!
9. Finding new music.

Snow day!!

I got to sleep in till 11!!!! :D

After that, Victoria called me and said she wanted to go to Fun Expedition so I got up and showered and we went. It was fun. She and I ganged up on the leech in laser tag. LOL, she was sweating when we were done. Then we grabbed some food and she took me to my physical therapy appointment.

I just got sidetracked...lol. I'm supposed to be working on a project for numerical linear algebra, but decided I wanted to blog instead...and then got caught up on YouTube. I pretty much fail lol.

I forgot whatever I wanted to say. Except that now I'm feeling kinda bleh from the sappy love songs. This one cheered me up tho.

A note from our sponser

So, as I was writing the last post, the university decided to cancel classes for tomorrow.

I'm pretty excited. I think I'll invite people over for dinner...oh, and I'm definitely going to sleep in!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programing!

PS. New books of the bible: Genesis, Exorcist, Leviathan, and Doooo the Right Thing!

Writings

I've been enjoying my vacation. Haven't really done much of anything except spend time online playing SWG and making new friends. Bob's been absent longer than normal this year but he finally came back online today and I got to talk to him. I worry about him. Sometimes he doesn't seem happy and it makes my heart hurt. I just want to make everything alright for him.

Victoria's been having issues with her dad. I swear I wish I could punch him for her. I want to hold her tightly and make her forget all about him and his empty promises. Also, she's been my hero for the last week or so now. My tire exploded last week when we were on the way to the library and I can't fix it till next week when I get back from vacation. She's been driving me around when I venture outside to go to the store. She had to go home yesterday though, her grandma's been really sick. I hope she's ok, her grandma is pretty neat.

Let's see...what else? I've been writing a lot on my other projects. I've been trying to do a lot there because I know once school starts up again I won't really have any time or energy to devote to them. Even though I'm not that great of a writer, I really do enjoy it.

I have a guilty pleasure...Simply Red and Rick Astley...and other musicness of that sort. I found Simply Red's YouTube channel and was listening to some of his stuff. Here's one of my favorites:



Anyway, it's late and my bum hurts...I'm gonna go to bed now I think. Gotta do laundry and finish cleaning the apartment tomorrow to get ready for my trip to see my little sister. I can't wait to see her :)

Just because I can

This song randomly played today. I love Patti LaBelle. While looking for it on YouTube, I found the next song.




Can you believe I've never seen Les Miserables? First time I'd heard this song too. It's pretty.

Apathetic much?

Just so you know, the last post wasn't anything other than me needing to let go of some stuff. This time of year is always bad for me, and it has been for a long time. I lost my best friend almost 11 years ago and the sadness always starts the last couple of days of December. I try not to dwell. I try to distract myself with other things. I try to ignore how I feel...just for a few days. It never works. I always end up crying into my pillow for hours for no apparent reason. I know why...I just don't like to talk about it. But that's why we have the internet right?

Having this screen in front of me allows me to spill my deepest darkest secrets without fear or worry, because frankly...no one reads this but me anyway. I can be anyone I want to and you'll never know. Just don't get me alone in a room, I might disappoint you. Blah blah blah, boo hoo. Yes I know I'm getting all weepy. So what. Trouble is, it gets worse as I get older. My hot flashes are getting harder to deal with. I'm having some really difficult times sleeping (thankfully the only thing I have to get up for is church on sundays - not looking forward to classes starting again...I wonder if that will help me get back on my proper schedule?).

Maybe I shouldn't worry. Maybe I should just let everything be. There's some lyrics of a song that Bob sent me a long time ago. "Worrying is about as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum."



Here's the Yoda version of it...just cause I'm a nerd like that



I did go to bed by 9ish last night...and then woke up at 1:30am *sigh*. I ate a little, played some Star Wars, watched a comedy special with Robin Williams...he's not as funny as he used to be. It just seems like his humor has gone down the toilet...or maybe I'm not used to seeing him do stand up and he's always been like that? Not that I have any problem with toilet humor, he just doesn't do it well.

I'm supposed to go grocery shopping with Victoria tomorrow....I don't really see myself getting up at any kind of decent hour to do that actually. Thankfully I bought some micro meals for the leech to warm up so I don't have to cook. Which really is kinda sad because I pulled out some ground turkey the other day to make some tacos and I've really been looking forward to it.

I really need to work on the whole 'letting go' thing.

Merry Hogswatch

It's after 4:30am and I'm still not asleep. I told the leech he could wake me up at 10...ugh...on top of, I found one present that didn't get wrapped. I should do that quickly.

I heart this band...you should heart it too.
