I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY, SO I'M COPPING OUT WITH A SURVEY

iPod Tarot (this one's for you Talion) Rules: Set your iPod or mp3 player on shuffle and answer the questions with the song title/artist that comes up. If someone says, "Is this okay?" you say... "Don't You Forget About Me" - Simple Minds What would best describe your personality? "The Joker" - Steve Miller Band (Word.) What do you like in a guy/girl? "Falling in Love Again" - Eagle Eye Cherry (Wow... I haven't listened to those tunes in a LOONG time) How do you feel today? "Crawl" - Soul Asylum... Sign in to see full entry.

What do you mean you wouldn't trust me with your kids?

This may come as a shock to those who know me by my exploits, but I absolutely love children and I'm damn good with them. When I decided that corporate America was not the place for me at all, after just shy of one year working for The Man, I set my sights on a nanny job. I figured if I was going to be dealing with children all day, they'd better damn well BE children. I was charged with the care of a 2-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl from 7am until 6pm. When I decided that their parents were... Sign in to see full entry.

It was simply a matter of time...

I left work yesterday at 2pm. It became glaringly obvious while trying to fax out past due invoices, when I kept having to reprint because I literally couldn't spell, that I needed to be somewhere that I could do no harm. I had explained to boss-man the situation and he gave me my blessing to get up out of this piece. Home is about a 10-15 minute drive, and I had my iPod blasting, window down and was forcing myself to sing aloud to the songs. I got home, collapsed in bed and was so entirely sure...

Insomnia: 3, LittleGirlBlue: 0

I got home yesterday to discover my favorite convicted domestic violence parolee helping the boyfriend with shit around the house. I've alluded to the white trash, and I will post on them someday, but right now I just don't have the energy to pour that much venom into a post. I ask when he's leaving, I'm told "When he's done," and there was a large chore at hand, "He's cheap labor." I sighed and retreated to the bedroom defeated. Last night, I was prepared to launch and all-out war against... Sign in to see full entry.

The Best Way to Crash Your Car

I've been pretty lucky behind the wheel. I've had one accident and one speeding ticket, both occuring within the last year or so. Part of this might be due to the fact that I didn't get my license until I was 19, and I didn't bother having a car until I was 21. Between 16 and 19, I had absolutely no need for a car as I had a personal chaperone, who's dark horse (ok, so it was a silver Chevy Celebrity Wagon) took me wherever I wanted to go. That was actually the car I first drove at age 14,... Sign in to see full entry.

Rolling with the punches until you get knocked out

It's really not all that shocking that I'm depressed. The past year or so has been a doozy to say the very least. I've had to grapple with my brother's drug-related death, my own health (another post), my relationship drama and finally, my aunt dying a drug-related death early in December. I learned life was hard and full of all sorts of unpleasant shit early on. Being sat down and told my father was dead on a Thanksgiving morning in 1989 will do that to you. As will being so at odds with my... Sign in to see full entry.

Twenty-five Things About Me Meme

1. I have too many cats (FIVE) and they are driving me insane. The population was sort of an accident. 2. Each time I've come close to death, water was involved. First time I was pushed out of an inner tube by either my brother or my cousin and didn't know how to swim yet, and then white water rafting in PA when the raft dumped everyone out and then landed on top of me. I remember trying to get out from under it and then coughing up water on the bottom of another boat. Strangely, my older... Sign in to see full entry.

Insomnia

The most annoying part of this whole depression has been my sleeping, or lack thereof. I didn't blog this weekend because to confront the mundanity of my life while it's actually happening would just be entirely too much for me to bear. Also, while my reasons for not sharing this blog with those people in my life that are nearest and dearest have changed, my desire to write without tiptoeing around my keyboard remains the same. Thus, I've been blogging at work. Boyfriend would be supportive if... Sign in to see full entry.

Screw All God's Living Creatures

When I moved to Northern California I traded winter snowstorms for torrential downpours (and a few 'heavy smoke' days from summer wildfires). Whereas nothing without fur can survive outdoors during an East Coast winter, creepy crawlies have plenty of refuge during a West Coast rainstorm. Mainly, my house and place of business (interestingly enough, though my housekeeping skills have been seriously lacking lately, I've only spotted a few random ants in the kitchen - as opposed to last year when...

This bug bit me...

OK OK! I give up... I will commit to blogging regularly for the foreseeable future. Or at least until I can see my way out of this depression. Also, I have begun posting entries from 2004-2007 on Little Girl Blue's Greatest Hits, starting with a very fun night after I'd split with Dan - Blogger Bleeds on Briton's Bratwurst.
