This is probably one of those things one shouldn’t talk about on the internets, but guys, we have a problem. There is a Bad Smell in our house. Embarrassing, right? Why am I even talking about this? I don’t even know, but it’s ON MY MIND. This is a fairly universal issue everyone has to deal with from time to time, yes? We’ve done all the obvious things. We’ve cleaned out the fridge, emptied all the garbages, and still, the Bad Smell remains. Clark really likes to hide things in weird places, so I’m sure he has hidden half a cheese sandwhich in the couch cushions or something, but that doesn’t make me feel any better. Blech.
In other news, can we talk a little bit about the facebooks? I have two friend requests at the moment that are funny/puzzling/interesting. The first is from someone I’ve never met, and thus is not my friend in any sense of the word. As far as I can tell, he must have “friended” all of another friend of mine’s friends? Anywho, his profile is so unlike any of my REAL friends, that it’s hilarious. Observe.
1. He is holding a gun in his photo. A Gun. Friendly!
2. Political Views: Conservative
3. Religous Views: Christian (Not there’s anything wrong with that, but when combined with all this other stuff, he seems to be one of THOSE christians.)
4. Under Activities he lists the following quote, “If I have to take a drug test to get a job, then you have to take a drug test to get welfare!” (Be still, my bleeding liberal heart. I’m not a fan of the civil-liberty-infringing piss test, but conservative gun-toting types usually haven’t the first clue about the circumstances that might lead someone to need welfare. Also, how Christian!)
5. Favorite Music: Country
6. Favorite TV Shows: Fox News (!)
7. Favorite Movies: A few I also liked, but most notably, “The Passion of the Christ” is number three.
Please tell me you find this as funny as I do. Reading back, I think I might sound like a big fat jerk. This is just so much the opposite of me that it almost seems fake.
The other friend request is from my First Love. Whom I haven’t seen or spoken to in 15 years. I’m not sure what I think. I’m mostly fine with it, and actually a little pleased that he thinks we should be “friends”. After a relationship that spanned most of highschool and the first year of college, it ended badly as these things do. I don’t like thinking there’s anyone out there harboring bad feelings about me, so it’s nice to know he apparently doesn’t. (Though if memory serves, it is I who should be harboring. I seem to recall some Cheater McCheaterFace-ing and then him accusing me of vandalizing his car. Um, no. That must have been some OTHER girl you pissed off.) Ah, facebook. Like a box of chocolates, one could say.
Guess what! Officer Sister is buying a house today! A house that is a 7 minute walk from mine! I am so happy about this. So. Happy.
I don’t like to post without a picture, so here is some Clarkie cuteness for you. I’m super bummed summer is coming to an end, but if there’s any up-side at all, it just might be the return of footie pajamas.
Have a good weekend, everyone!
Footie pjs!
I get the snarkiness about WHO is this person who claims to be your friend. FB friends should really just be called acquaintances. There are people no longer connected to me who use their FB time to advocate for laws against abortion and same-sex marriage. It’s their right, of course, to hold views I find idiotic, but we can’t even exchange statuses without pissing each other off.
These people are not my friends. I might admire their decorating skills or think that thing they did in 5th grade was funny, but not my friend.
I hope it is not a dead critter. I could not handle something stinky right now. Lord. I hope you get it sorted.
Beth: Right on, sister. That’s what the hide function is for. I’d say I have about 80% of my fb “friends” hidden.
hliv: Oh, my dear. YOU would be dead. Killed dead. So glad you don’t have to smell it! Glad to “see” you here, though, and hope you’re feeling better!
