Summer's Shenanigans

Okay. Seriously. What the FUCK is wrong with people?!:?

If your 16 year old, 120lb daughter came to you and said, "Mom/Dad, I need liposuction and breast implants in order to live a fulfilling life." What would your reaction be? Seriously, tell me. What would you say to her?

Maybe it's just me, but I would tell her that she is beautiful and that plastic surgery is not the answers to her problems. Can you imagine if you came up to your parents and said, "I want bigger boobs and a flatter stomach, because someone at school said that I was fat", and your parents said, "Okay, you're right. You should get a boob job and lipo. Then everyone will like you! Have a twinky, you're getting lipo!"

AGGGGGHHHH!!!! America makes me want to claw out my eyes until my brain melts!!!!



Stefan and I have talked about what we plan to do when we have children, in regards to public school vs. home schooling. I think public school holds a distinct advantage over home school because public school forces you to learn people skills and how to deal with human interaction. Kids get teased. Kids make friends. Kids make enemies. Kids learn how to deal with other human beings, with out their mommy or daddy holding their hand telling them what to do.

Personally, I had a fairly shitty time in the 6rd - 10th grade. I didn't really have any friends, I wasn't "cool", boys didn't like me. As a matter of fact, I remember particularly tramatic times, like when a couple of boys told someone that I was the ugliest girl in the class, or when this one bully came up to me in 7th grade and told me that I was a piece of shit that no one liked (and that she wanted to beat me up because of that), in front of pretty much everyone. I felt like the smallest, loneliest person in the world. Did I cry? Yes. Did I go out and get a boob job? Fuck no. Did the boy that said I was ugly ask me out a few years later? Yes, he did. I choose not to go on a 2nd date with him, because honestly, I was way cooler then him after high school, had a better job and surfed better then him. I guess I could have just gotten a boob job and married the pathetic kid...Hmmmmm...

I had laser eye surgey one week ago and I still can't see. I went from being near sighted (before PRK surgery) to being far sighted (immediately after PRK surgery) to being blur-sighted (now, 1 week after PRK surgery). It's REALLY frustrating/annoying/scary.

At least before I could work, but now I can't do shit. No internet (this post is a stretch. Luckly I can type with my eyes closed...), no work, no TV, no movies, no leisurely walks through the garden, no driving, no reading, no surfing, no swimming, no ANYTHING that requires eyeballs. I have been sleeping 15+ hours a day (because there is nothing else I can do) and this experiance has peaked "boring" and is cresting "depressing" at this point...

So tell me, what would you do to pass the time if you were blind(ish)?!

I had my corneas sliced and diced on Friday (3 days ago). My eyes hurt and I can't really see...It's starting to get verrrrry frustrating....

I bought a bunch of great stocking stuffers for Christmas this year, but unfortunately I didn't make it home to stuff them in my friends/family members stockings. And by "great stocking stuffers", I mean totally bizarre things that will probably make you hate me for stuffing your stocking with said items...

Conner and Dianne (Van the Man's parents) were visiting us in Puerto Rico, when my package of extra awesome stocking stuffers arrived. Conner was nice enough to be my guinea pig and test out a couple of the items...Like these Crick-ettes!

The good news is that the whole pack is only 9 calories and they come in three yummy flavors: salt and vinegar, cheese and bacon and sour cream and onion! The bad news is that they are actually dead crickets. Yum?

Conner said they didn't taste bad at all. I guess I'll have to find something grosser for his Christmas stocking next year...

Jump the shark: Phrase coined in 1997 to describe a defining moment at which a favorite television show has reached its peak, and can only subsequently decline; also describes the moment of decline for any pop culture reference. The phrase, used during the late 1980s, refers to the actual moment in the ABC series Happy Days when the character Fonzie went water skiing and literally "jumped the shark."

Just yesterday, I was snooping around TheSuperficial.com and was checking out their official business site Anti Clown Media. This is something I always do when I find a website that I like, that has a successful web presence. I was checking out their advertising info and specifically though that this part was hilarious:

"...We believe in connecting special marketers with a special audience. Are you in the business of scamming people with a free iPod gimmick? Then shoot yourself in the face and never come back here ever again. Anticlown Media only accepts advertisers that complement our sites..."

I thought that this was particularly funny, since I've recently sworn off of myspace, because of their ridiculously obnoxious talking iphone and ipod gimmick ads.

So, I was catching up on my trashy celebrity gossip on The Superficial today and guess what I saw! A large, gimmicky ipod scam advertisement. Ha.

What a bunch of hypocritical tools...

Sleepy time!

I think Stefan may have been trying to breast feed the poor little guy...

We were just trying to go to dinner and we ended up adopting a kitten...We were driving down a dark highyccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccAΩ≥≥≥AA... Okay, let's try this againd...0...(the kitten keeps walking across my laptop. Sorry!) Any how, we were driving down a dark highway on our way to dinner and this little guy was sitting in the middle of the road:

Stefan swerved to miss him, but we still ended up running over him. Luckly, Stefan swerved enough so he went between the wheels and did not get hit. So, long story short, we stopped the car and Stefan plucked him out of the street just before the next car came around the bend. And there you have it. We have a kitten. What else could we have done...

So, our new kitten need a name! Any suggestions?


No, I don't have huge feet, the kitten is just muy pequeno!

After talking to my mom (who knows an insane amount of information about animals. Especially for a programmer...), this kitty is about 4.5 weeks old and is most likely a male.

Did you know that the majority (80% or so) of orange cats are males? And that all calico colored cats are females or hermaphrodites? That is what I learned from Robin today...interesting, eh?

Any how...let's play, Name That Kitten!
