RANTS!

[Jester]

I think I am going to combine these two, and say something obscene about winter on my facebook page. See if anyone gets their tailfeathers in a ruffle.

New pet peeve: When I post an obscene anti-winter status on my facebook page, and facebook removes it.

You mean "Christmas Wrapping"? The song by the Waitresses?

I hate hate hate that song.

I did not know the Smashing Pumpkins had a Christmas song...*off to google*
edit: OK, I guess I did...maybe I just blocked it out...

Can tell what time it is by what song is on one radio station.

I used to have the radio in my room on a particular station (and I only listen to it in the morning while I'm getting ready for work). They don't play much music on the morning show (it's all celebrity gossip, news, prank phone calls and general yammering about nothing) but what they do play is the same songs at the same times every day. They'll go for weeks playing the same stuff (and it's always the latest American Idol crap and whatnot) and then switch up one or two at a time. I would wake up every morning to the same thing. I finally found a new station cuz it was annoying the hell out of me.

Hey, I have a new rant! Old pet peeve, though.

Basically I am sick and tired of my friends who break up with the person they are dating, then keep going back to them or sleeping with them, and THEN (and this is the part that irritates me) bitching about it.

But I think I have come up with a new, novel, and apparently rather effective tactic to deal with this.

Last week, my one female friend, who recently broke up with her boyfriend of a year, turned to me and said, "I need to stop sleeping with Douchebag."

Fed up with this bullshit, I shot back, "Fine. From now on, every time you sleep with him, I'm fining you twenty dollars!"

This kind of threw her for a loop, and she didn't know quite what to say. At first she thought I meant that the money I would be "fining" her would be going to some fund for her to do something with or some such.

Nope. If she sleeps with him, I fine her twenty bucks, and it goes right into my pocket. Which means that her screwups could be rather lucrative for me.

The good news is that since I threw down this particular gauntlet, she has not slept with Douchebag. Sure, I could use the money, but it's still a good thing, since she is not being stupid with him, nor is she driving me nuts about her doing something she shouldn't be, i.e., sleeping with her ex.

The funny thing is that she says she simply can't afford to sleep with him now, what with the fine system in place. Of course, I spun this to be that, basically, "he's not worth twenty bucks." She has trouble arguing with this logic.

Now I need a new tactic for my friends who want me to come along with them out on the town as a "wing man" to help them pick up guys or girls, but who themselves are lousy wing men .

I had never heard the "Wrapping Christmas" song, so I you-tubed it. Shut if off after about 30 seconds. Yeesh.

"Christmastime" by Smashing Pumpkins was a frequent play on the TJ Maxx radio during Christmas. I like that song!

What would be the point of THAT? You should have raised the rate just due to her stupidity. It's not a FINE if you get it back.

Yeah. It's annoying...my roommate actually likes that song!

I suppose it's not the song so much as the way he sings it...

Today's rant is idiots on Facebook.

I am a Mafia Wars freak. It's sad, believe me, I KNOW.

But OMG. I CANNOT TAKE ALL THE WHINING. There has been some problems with the game, and yes, it is annoying, but IT'S FREE. (I know...some people have actually put money into it, but basically, FREE).

It's just a game!

And then there are the people who bitch, moan, and complain constantly about the "declare war" feature. Shut up already.

And how many farm/fish/zoo games does facebook REALLY need?

My Rant for today

1) I love wrapping presents and sewing fabric bags/purses to house the presents in but, Mother of God... the clean up is such a pain in the arse!

2) Bloating. Enough said.

[Jester]

Oh, I know that. But the idea is to keep it high enough to prevent her from sleeping with the Douchebag, but low enough where she is still honest with me about it. I could have made it a hundred bucks a pop, but then she would just lie to me about it, and then no one gets anything positive out of it, other than Douchebag.

And I cannot raise the rate of my fines due to my friends' stupidity, since I am so often unbelievably stupid. My Worst Girlfriend Ever proves that I don't have much better taste or judgment than my friends, after all.

Rant about me cooking

Doing a couple a test batches of cupcakes and cookies for christmas.

*Note: Red Velvet cupcakes (with a small packet of instant chocolate pudding added with cream cheese frosting) are yummy yummy evil*

Why must I always burn myself? Right across a nuckle. It hurts. I just hope I don't burn myself tomorrow when I do a batch of Norwegian Fried Cookies and small Pumpkin Spiced Cheesecakes.

*goes off to cool off my knuckle*

For me, and it IS the season....

The dumbfucks who walk through the doors to a store and STOP. Folks - MOVE YOUR ASS! And don't give me the stink eye when I say "Excuse me" thrice then push past you.

Same deal applies to escalators - Get off, get moving, and don't come to a dead halt with the "duuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrr" look on your face. Get the fark out of the way before you start playing dominoes with everyone behind you.

Oh boy! I do love to rant!

1. I do have a handicap hanger thingy and if you don't get your damn car out of the handicap space! I don't care if you will only be a minute, I HAVE PAIN IN MY LEGS ALL THE DAMN TIME! YOU DON'T! MOVE OUT OF THAT SPOT, DOUCHE BAG!

2. Yes, I know I look healthy and pain free, but I can tell you right now that every second of every day I have pain in my legs. It can be manageable pain or it can be the kind of pain that I want to kill. Yes, I realize that I never look like I'm in pain, it is because I have learned to hide my pain and I do it well. The only time my husband has ever heard me cry out because of pain I was in labor other than that he has learned to look for the little clues that show I'm in a lot of pain.

3. I hate Christmas carols and always have. I realize it's that season, but I don't need to hear them in every damn store I have to go into. I want to thank my pharmacy for having regular music on most of the time.

4. The bell ringers give me a headache. If they stop ringing when I'm walking up I will donate other than that I try to get past them as fast as I can. I have donated once this season because the guy was polite about the ringing the bell.

5. My daughter bought an engraved present with her and her boyfriends name on it to give to him for Christmas. She broke up with him last week and now we have a present that can not be returned or given to someone else.

6. My next door neighbor, who we share a fire wall with has two mutts that bark their fool heads off the whole time the family is gone. So, we hear these mutts for hours at a time and it's not only driving me nuts, but my DH too. He said he was gong to talk to the guy, but so far hasn't. He is the more diplomatic of the two of us, so it would be better for him to talk to our neighbor, but I will do so if he doesn't do it soon.

7. Every single year I send out a ton of Christmas cards to not only my family but my DH's family too. We have yet to get one back. So, this is the last year I will be sending out cute Christmas cards to anyone. The whole lot of them can bite my ass.

8. December birthdays suck eggs. The next loser who buys me one cheap present for my birthday and Christmas will get only one present for their birthday and Christmas even if their birthday is in June. If the person is struggling with money I will over look the only one present thing. I'm not totally heartless, yet.

9. My dear and loving aunt, you know very well I don't speak to either of my parents so please stop asking if I have talked with them, thank you. You don't even speak to them, so why would you think I would?

10, People, please stop asking me what my husband and I are doing to keep busy and from driving each other nuts now that he has retired and then look at me funny when I say we spend all our time together and we do not drive each other batty. We got married because we wanted to be together and are enjoying the time we have with each other now. I know, it's a weird concept, but we are a weird couple who love nothing more than being together every second we can, even after 18 years of marriage.

I hate Christmas carols and always have.

Have I ever told you how much I love you?!?!?!

December birthdays suck eggs.

My best friend Neets's birthday is on Christmas. She shares your pain. And because of that, even though I myself have a June birthday, I fully understand!

[Red_Dazes]

...The country music station just played the same song 3 times in the last hour.

...I really don't like that song anymore.

2. My fingers are COLD. and I am sick of it.

3. My water (while amazingly hot) does not stay hot long enough for me to fill the bathtub.... resulting in luke-warm baths. NOT okay.

4. It's miserably cold. I don't have enough body fat to live in Washington... A winter person I am not... Please MAKE IT STOP!

5. Yes I did hand made/had addressed/personalized christmas cards last year...with a picture and everything.... I have told you all ALL YEAR, it will Never happen again. So stop telling me how much you are looking forward to it! And GOD help you if you try and "aww...I'm so sad. My heart it breaks. You didn't send me a card." guilt me into it. Shut up, I will call you. I don't have the mental stability OR the time to do that....EVER again.

Aww, now I'm blushing!

I tell people that I don't like sharing my birthday even if it is with Jesus Christ Himself. Yes, I know I'm a heretic and am going to hell.
