Which Boondock Saint's Character Do You Honor?
Skippy the cat - You are the sad and tragic example of why Irish shouldn't drink and leave loaded guns around Rocco. You were taken away before your time, but on the bright side you taught us all a lesson about gun safety. Your one regret is still not getting penny's in your eyes for your funeral, however the twins did give you a beautiful burial service.

Goodbye crocodile hunter. while your demise wasnt entirely unanticipated, we certainly didnt expect it to be a giant sting ray. Crikey!
At least it wasnt the almost certain death by croc. They get to bury you this way. |

so that about sums up my impression of geneva ohio.
so yes. back from my trip to ohio wine country. yes you read that right. so i had lots of fun, got creeped out by the natives, saw a huge lake that im fairly sure is an abomination of nature, saw friends, had booze, contributed more tone deaf howling to the karaoke circuit, and got intimidated by an in car navigation system. john davis says hi to all, or at least, all who know who that is. and came home to an intact, non burned down home, although my parents are currently missing, which is slightly worrisome given the circumstances. yikes. and manda-poo... i gotta tell you... im jealous. you are going to have sooooo much fun. *tiny fist shaking of rage*
uhhhh yeah. thats my sum up of my week. there was more, but its either incidental, topical, or nonsensical. im going to get to the sleepin. |

well i went to go see the fireworks tonite. lovely. not the point.
so im sitting with a friend on the roof of a boat, were not supposed to be there, technically the boat is not supposed to be there, because its in the danger zone of the fireworks. but evidently wealth has its privilidges. so were watching the fireworks, theyre playing the 1812 overture. and were looking up, and lise points up and says "whats that?"
i look up and its a little piece of fire about fifty yards up.
"its a flaming wad. i didnt know fireworks had them"
"whats a wad?"
"its a piece of paper loaded into the barrel. i guess to provide pressure in the barrel. i dont really know"
"then how do you know what it is?"
"i know because i get hit by them all the time. theyre in the powder guns we use at the renaissance festival. im like a wad magnet"
"doesnt that hurt?"
"no. but its not fun either."
"if youre a wad magnet should you be up here?"
"well i didnt know fireworks had them. and if one hasnt hit me by now it isnt going to."
"this from the girl who walked into a moving semi?"
"right. i'll get down."
so im climbing down the ladder and lise sort of shrieks JUST as the EXACT same piece of wadding we were discussing suddenly plummets from the sky and hits me between the shoulder blades. (which would NOT have hit me had i stayed where i was) it smarted a bit, but just hit and bounced into the water. but lise, convinced im about to die a horribe fiery death throws her margarita in my face tackles me off the ladder, knocks my head against a rope tie, and tries to throw me in the river while screaming for her dad. i cling to her in a sloth like fashion, so she cant throw me overboard, and her dad laughs like a hyena.
the moral of the story is...
a: dont watch fireworks from inside the area you are SPECIFICALLY told not to be.
and b: dont ever trust a girl named lise to react to a crisis in a calm and thoughtful manner.
go ahead laugh. its funny. dont comment. i know okay? trust me, i know. |

after deciding to get off my ass, i applied to a fairly prestigious jewelry manufacturing program. its in california. i got accepted. so the past week or so i have been running around trying to get ready to move for six months or so.
yaaaaaaay!!!!
then i recieved another letter, stating that i was number 218 on the waiting list. should 218 people drop out by august, im in. more likely is that i will be able to attend next fall sometime.
WHAT????
im cursed. i will never leave this goddamn state. i will never be free. this is the fourth trip to california that has somehow been waylaid, though to be honest, its better than the three days i spent in the denver airport.
guess im not going anywhere for awhile.

well im doing something that no one in their right mind would do, which is posting drunk.
yes. im drunk.
last night i had a couple of martinis at ruby tuesdays, and got home, and because it was a hellish weekend for me, on a personal level, i poured myself a mason jar of vodka.
not, in retrospect the brightest thing ive ever done, as i spent half my night on the floor in the hallway between my office and bedroom, but i did eventually make it to the bed. i woke up about half an hour ago, and thought "my god, i dont have a hangover. brilliant!" and got up and promptly fell to the floor.
oops. still drunk. i wall walked to the computer and here i sit. dreading the upcoming huge bite in the ass.
but as for my update...
faire is good, you all know that. i torqued my knee something fierce, but since i fucked up my other knee, i cant even limp. that blows. my mom is officially not sleeping with half the navy, which is reassuring. long story. my parents are selling the house i grew up in, and thats sad. got rid of my creepy license plate. my newt is learning jedi mind tricks. he walks over to the glass and puts one little... hand? paw? on the glass and makes me feed him. its very cute. his eighth birthday is coming up. there will be cake.
okay. im so crawling back to bed. |

my old mercury is gone...
my new ice blue toyota matrix takes its place.
my sable was named guinevere... before that the corsica was named hassan al fatwah (because he was likely to literally explode at any minute), and before that my ancient mercedes was named buster.
so this one was going to be named rocinante, or rosie for short. but i cant call my blue car rosie. and its distictly male. so ive decided on albert. bertie for short. he is a chilly, nervous little car who is quite probably a homosexual. bertie is perfect.
and i would like to report that for the past week and a half, my car was spotless. completely empty. i had witnesses. unfortunately i didnt have anything i needed. i was so useless. bertie will be loaded tomorrow. |

today, the tennessee state senate got together, and voted on a bill to change the tennessee constitution. who cares, you might say. well the change being made to the constitution is this. if they get their way, abortion will no longer be considered an inherent right in the state of tennessee. now does this make abortion illegal in tennessee? no. it doesnt. the right to an abortion is protected by roe v. wade. so why pass the bill? if roe v. wade is overturned, the law reverts back to it being a state issue, where each state decides whether or not abortion is legal. this bill passed by the tennessee senate ensures that, in the event or a reversal, abortion will be illegal in the state of tennessee. no exceptions. not in case of rape, not in case of incest, not if the life of the mother is endangered.
so is it a done deal? no. in order for this amendment to pass, it must pass the house of representatives, and then be passed again by both houses. it is as of yet unclear whether or not the amendment will be put to a popular vote, but i think it will. i know most people arent terribly politically active. but think about this. one in four women will be sexually assaulted in their lives. one in five will be raped. if that person is you, your mother, your sister... do you want the option to terminate any resulting pregnancy? not that you HAVE to, but do you want the option?
and think of this. this is the south. if roe v. wade is reversed, and we cant have any confidence that it wont be, where do you think the closest state you can go to for an abortion? florida is a maybe... there are a lot of conservatives there. their government is primarily republican. its not as sure a thing as you might think. ohio possibly. michigan is likely. how far a drive is that? do you think most people can afford to take that trip? plus pay for a not inexpensive medical procedure?
those of us who are of a mind that a woman should have the right to choose are in a distinct minority here. the house of representatives has yet to vote. if it fails there, theyd have to start all over again. for the love of god get involved. call your representative. their contact info is on the tennessee legislature web page. ask planned parenthood or NOW what you can do to help. this is important. we cannot control the disposition of the supreme court. this we have a say in. |

as an olympic junkie, its time for my end of the olympics wrap-up program.
skiing: worthless sport in my daily life. however, listening to the announcers describe all the various waxes for different weather conditions, i now know why the eskimos have 40 different words for snow.
snowboarding: what skater boys do in the winter. no really. same shit, different surface.
luge: an american luger finished competing, and then broke his back in a simple sledding competition on a hill in torino. which proves that backyard really is the most dangerous place to be. also, the german luger, also known as the speeding white sausage in his off times, participates in the glorious sport of wok racing. wikipedia it.
doubles luge: the gayest sport in the winter olympics.
speed skating: roller derby on ice. faaantastic
figure skating: where the fashion impaired come to shine. much was made this year of whether or not american jonny weir is in fact gay. he will not tender a response. the reason for this is twofold. one, its nobodys damn business, and b: the united states olympic committee evidently STRONGLY discourages gay athletes from coming out, despite the fact that an estimate 30-40% of male figure skaters are in fact gay. i personally wont venture an opinion, but my sister made the comment that she wouldnt feel quite right saying that he was flaming, but there is a definite trail of smoke behind him where ere he goes.
bobsled: these guys are nuts. they barrel eighty miles an hour down a track in a trash can. mother of god.
hmm.. am i missing anything?
ah yes. skeleton: luging, head first, face down. now thats an act of courage i would not willingly undertake.
and now for a quiz i ganked from z_mochachino, ( under the cut ) |
