...another one bites the dust.
I can't really go on here and say that I ain't no HollaBack Girl simply because I have no idea what that is. Apparently though, this shit is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s. What is a hollaback girl? Am I one? Do I want to be one? Sorry, this has been bugging me.
So unfortunately for you, yes, it's another Ramble-thon. I just have like 792 things still pacing my neuropathways. I've made some headway as it was originally 800. You know the drill - mild to moderate chaos; mainly harmless but please remain seated until the post comes to a complete stop.
Well, it's official. I've got crunk. That's how I spent my morning. I'm really shiny and gold. Ok, it's nowhere near the picture in the link; it's just one tooth and it's not in front either. I will say that my smile is most certainly radiant now. God forbid I should swallow this $600 chunk-o-metal; the retrieval would not be pretty.
Last night at work I took a 5 minute break and went outside. There was still some light left and it afforded me the chance to see the five story roof and also a secondary roof between the first and second floors. I got this image of someone accidentally falling off the top and landing on the lower roof. Kind of creepy; needless to say I immediately went in. Maybe that'll teach me to take a break...
I pulled into a local convenience store/corner market kind of place and sat there staring at the windows for a good 6 minutes before going in. The advertising signs were crooked. GAH! That looks so hickish. Then there was the handwritten sign taped on the glass door, now curled and sunbleached. And misspelled. You know, would it kill you to proofread it? If that's too hard, use smaller words. Always makes me think of the saying "Better to let people think you are an idiot than to open your mouth and prove it." I am way too anal retentive.
Happy ending there; Cinnamon Coffee Cake Cappuccino... heavenly.
For some reason, every time I turn around I'm being faced with all things relating to marriage and unions of sorts. WTF? Then it recently gets pointed out to me that if I'm going to have kids I'd better have them soon. Nice. Doesn't it usually help to have a guy first? And it's not just the kid thing, it's all of it. Kids, marriage, engagements, friends moving in together, it all seems to be showing up all around me. Maybe I'm just feeling old. Who knows.
The gears are going once again but I'm not sure what the end result is going to be. I think I want to move. The weather here is becoming too extreme for my liking and my happiness level has sunk to a new level; somewhere around the soles of my shoes I think. I want drastic. And a moderate climate. And on the coast. Any suggestions? Now, really sell me on it! =)
Speaking of shoes, I finally got my new orthotics and found that they squeak obnoxiously when I walk. It's kind of funny (at least I get a laugh out of it) but I'm going to have to find a way to remedy the situation.
I've learned recently that it is really the simple things that make me happy. To make me feel important, wanted, and appreciated, I mean. Sure, every now and then I suppose people like trinkets and such and that all has it's place. But something basic, a gesture from the heart, well-meaning in intent. Done for the purpose of making you smile - that still means something to me. In a greed-filled world I like knowing that I can say that as truth.
My wooden door at work has a demon face on it. I mean it. I forget about it for a couple of months but have just noticed it again. Now I will see it constantly and start to avoid walking that way, sure that it can see me. It sounds dumb but I mean it... it's creepy. Maybe I'll try to get a pic of it to prove that I'm not a total loon. Well, at least not over this.
One other thing. Sometimes I feel a bit guilty but I don't have a list of blog links. No offense, but I can't maintain that. I would alter it daily and feel pressure to add or omit certain ones. More likely I would have a breakdown over who to include and who not to. In effect, everyone may be on there one day and the list drastically reduced the next. I have issues, this is one way they would manifest. I don't think that something of that sort should detract from blogging, so I don't let it.
Oh yeah, one more thing. What if we could teleport when we made phone calls? Just drop in or manifest on the other end? I think I might not answer my phone. But if I was prepared and all 'beautified', I'd be much more willing to answer. No, that's a lie. I really don't like anyone just dropping by... ever. In addition, who gets beamed; caller or callee? Is callee a word? And why is it that I think of these things...
This has been a public service announcement. Please feel free to move about the cabin...

We've GOT to cut a deal here. The first one to make it to a coast (any coast, preferably english-speaking) lets the other one know that it's clear. OK?
You're joking? Where's your e-mail when we need it?
Linkage can be troublesome. Nowadays I just use my blogroll as a way to get to my regular reads. Doesn't have anything to do with saying other people should visit them. And it doesn't mean there aren't other blogs out there that are great. My blogroll is for me. If others use it, well thats just a bonus :)
I had no idea what crunk was - I clicked on the link and gasped audibly, like Gah!
I'm running away to Costa Rica....wanna come along??? There's plenty of coast there! :)
And I know just what you mean...I am SO DAMN RESTLESS with my life right now, I can hardly stand being me.....it's almost like I want to split my skin and morph into another person and start a whole new life. ACK!!!
By the way, I love your ramble-thons! :)
I'm wondering if your loyal fans qualify as 'rambelees'? While I am wondering, I can't help wondering how much your Demon Door would fetch on eBay.
OK let's see what we can do about shrinking the seemingly endless random thoughts milling about your brain.
I have no idea what a HollaBack girl is, sorry
Our firewall is blocking me from seeing the Crunk pic and I gotta tell you my imagination is going beserk here.
Maybe the person you saw falling was a stunt-person practising for a movie?
I know wot u mean about crooked signs & bad spelling. I've been known to walk into other peoples' houses (in the sense of entering them, not in a CCBThud sense!) & straighten their pictures. Can't help it, it's a compulsion. I don't usually get Cinnamon Coffee Cake Cappaccino as a reward though.
Theoretically, you don't actually need a guy to have kids. All you need is sperm. For that matter, you don't need kids to have kids - all you need is a guy!
Coastal place with a moderate climate, eh? I recommend Cyprus, actually. Not just for the weather & the scenery, but also cos I have never seen so many hot men in one place before!
I just had to look up orthotics on Google. Can't help u with that one.
Can't wait to see the photo of your demon-door!
I only keep blog-links so I can get to my regular reads easily. Besides, this is YOUR blog so whoever doesn't like it can go fly a kite!
You'd have to have Caller ID obviously. I have no idea why you think of these things but it certainly makes for an interesting Blog!
Finally, no I didn't skip the part about it being the simple things that make you happy. Hopefully knowing that your blog-buddies read and pay attention to these insane ramblings of yours and care enough to respond will put a smile on your face!
(I've now used up my soppy-quota for the week!)
I ain't no hollaback girl –you had me laughing at that one. Seems very few ppl know what a hollaback girl is. Has a nasty ring to it… yet something in I suspect the boys would like.
Is there such a thing as a hollaback boy? Just wondering. If there is, then I ain’t one either… hehe.
Btw, if you swallow that $600.00 chunk-o-metal, we will auction you on Ebay. :)
Greg - 'Kiddo'... you're the best! =) I suppose that is something that many people gauge the passing of time by - their kids. Suppose if I have no kids I still get (and feel old), maybe just with less gray hair.
Beelze - Are you trying to convince me or dissuade me with that comment? =) From the second half of that description it doesn't sound too far off from where I am now! About 2 years ago I considered moving to the Ft. Meyers/Lee Island Coast area. But I wanted to live in Edison's house and they wouldn't let me.
Anne - In that case, I'm here. I live on the coast of Lake Erie; I can see it right now. Perhaps we need to be more specific, eh? We'd better get to making those plans. Email concerns? Should be there... Goes with everything else lately!
Fence - That is a great way to look at it. Should I ever gain control of my impulses and neuroses then I'd consider it as it really makes sense. For now everyone is tucked away in my 'favorites' list.
Jay - Crunk is scary, isn't it? And I really don't 'get' it. I hope the audible gasp was more along the lines of repulsion as opposed to 'Oooh; I must get this look!'
Stacy - Costa Rica? Reportedly stunningly beautiful! We'll make an arrangement for all the spiders and such to keep their distance and it should be just fine. The way you just described your current feelings?... EXACTLY what I feel. Shall we pack our bags? =)
Kyknoord - Hmmm... 'ramblons', 'ramblonis', 'r'rambloids'... it is tough to really give it a term. I could probably sell that door for zillions to some right wing religious sect that wants to use it as a means of literally scaring the devil out of it's congregation members. Ebay it is!
Terri - For fun, look up gold teeth or crunk... it'll open up a whole new world for you. And I bet you laugh! Walking into places has new meaning thanks to CCBThud...lol; enjoyed the clarification! So Cyprus, eh? Not right around the corner but I may have to look into it. If I end up there, you will always have a place to visit as a 'thank you'. =) Have my camera ready to go to work. I just have this sick "Tales from the Darkside" feeling in the pit of my stomach that by taking a photo, it'll release the spirit of the door demon along with the hounds of hell. Oh well, I'll sell those on Ebay, too as per Kyknoord's suggestion!
Chitty - Yeah, it sounds a little skanky and yes, often boys Do like that! =) I think there is a HollaBack boy but that exact term is not used, unless you really are putting your pom-poms down. I'm pretty sure the demon door will fetch more than I do but promise me you'll bid at least $5 for me, k? That's only, what, R30 or so? That's one way for me to get a vacation... auction myself on Ebay!
Heidi - Oh hellll no, mine is nothing like that! I just find it funny! I think it is my tendency to see faces in doors, wood grain, trees, shadows because I dislike things with faces... meaning dolls, puppets, big creepy demons... so I remain on the lookout! One too many Twilight Zones? LOL! At least you can sucker your kids and hubby into going to check out the hidden images in the door! =) And yes, it is official; you are b-a-n-a-n-a-s!
Sappho - All I know is that Heidi is officially b-a-n-a-n-a-s so she can be the 'go-to' gal for that. As for the squeaky shoes... I'm a nutcase before the squeaking begins. That makes all the difference! =) So, changes on the relationship front? Guess it gets you one way or another, geez. You can blame me for the teleportation thing but please, do it by email... don't call to blame me... =)
LOL! Just got home & the first thing I did was check out your Crunk link. U were right: hahahahahahaha!!!!
I've no doubt yours is a LOT more attractive!!
the poorly-drawn mispelled crooked signs in shop windows! one of my all time pet peeves. i long to provide pro bono lettering services to all and sundry, with precise grammar. when i want to annoy myself i rip a page out of a spiral notebook and write something in bic pen in and tape it askew to something. i make sure the fringies are clearly visible and half-coming-off. it's a good way to remember to do stuff.
Terri - Isn't that pic a riot?! I'm so glad you checked it out because it HAD to provide a laugh! Mine is so subtle in comparison and not readily visible; which is a very good thing!
Lady S - Sometimes it would seem trudging is an important part of the journey. You learn alot then. Ok, you can teleport here but let me 'beautify' first...lol!
SingleGirl - Hi there! Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate them. As far as Gwen, you are right, she probably has no idea or just made it up anyhow!
Greg - You guys moved? Do I need to brink a blogwarming gift? =) Thanks for the heads up.
Allison - Good to see you! Yeah, I usually do a pretty good job at not worrying about it but every now and then I do. And I feel guilt... lol.
Rose - Why does it not surprise me that you are irritated by this, too? That is an excellent idea about the sheet of paper with the fringies still on it... I would get my tasks done in record time just so I could get rid of it! Fringies are awful.
I've went this long without kids, I figure that might be a sign that I should continue. Anyways I have enough trouble taking care of Buffy, much less a kid. (Or does Buffy take care of me?)
It's that getting old part that does it I think. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have someone to come home to. (Besides Buffy, who is great to come home to.) I don't have a problem living alone, I like myself enough that I ususally enjoy the company, but sometimes you wonder what you're missing.
Warm climate? Come to New Orleans. If you can take the humidity that is. As much bad as can be found about New Orleans, it is a unique city, unlike almost any other city. I'm glad I don't live in the city, but I'm glad I live close enough to visit easily. And there is always music to be found here.
I have no idea what or which part to reply to, so I will say just this:peppermint.
Motor - You can sum that all up in one word? Damn... impressive! =)
What an interesting bunch you are!!! This was huge fun. I only recently started blogging and still have lots to learn. I am going to have a look at the crunk link - also want to laugh and as for coast, sun, music and city - I have it all as I live in a city on the sea where you can find sunshine and great music. Not even to mention the people. We are not called the Friendly City for no reason. Come and visit my blogspot if you get a chance sometime. Would love to chat some more.
Buddess - Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Yeah, there is definitely an interesting mix of folk that come and post here and it can be lots of fun. We get silly and serious... whatever comes out at the moment! I saw where you live and yeah, seems like you do have a good blend! I was gon about 10 days but have returned (obviously) and will be looking at your blog in more detail very soon. Hope to see you back here. Enjoy the crunk!
