Mar. 24th, 2006 11:06 amY'know how some folks, when they don't have a bottle opener, will open their bottle of beer with a lighter?
Well, if you ever try it and scrape your knuckles across the ridges, resulting in bloodshed... don't come cryin to me, because I told you so.
I should have just gone to the kitchen and gotten the damned bottle opener. :P

Mar. 21st, 2006 03:15 pmSo, office manager says: "Let me get your opinion on... what I'm about to say. If [attorney, my boss] were to start taking all the traffic calls, would you be interested in moving to personal injury?"
Uh, no, I wouldn't.
I am now officially looking for a new job.
Know anybody hiring around midtown?
Walking distance from Cooper-Young, non-corporate, queer-friendly and a lack of (or at least a reasonable) dress code would be grand, but I realize that's a bit narrow, so I'll consider just about anything.
I've worked customer service/support, done technical support, PC repair, cleaned a couple houses, and currently the law office. I am not limited to what I've done in the past.

Mar. 20th, 2006 08:12 amLast night I dreamt I added ecstacy into absinthe and chugged the entire thing in preparation to clean house. It wasn't my house.
Funny.
Every time I make a friend in this city, I have to determine the link. In this particular case, he knows both of my roommates, as well as a chick I rode the school bus with twenty years ago.
Wacky.

Mar. 14th, 2006 10:40 amTwo hours sitting in the grass Sunday night has left me with two days of nose-and-throat unpleasantness. I did not come in to work yesterday, because there are trolls clawing their way out of my face. Claritin, take me away!
Oh lord, that thou mayest deem me worthy, that thou mayest destroy the abomination from hell we call "grass".
Despite the jealousy thing, my interactions with both other parties continues without issue. I am glad. However, now that crushee has deemed me worthy of his affection, it will probably become neccessary to Talk About It. We never actually hang out one-on-one as it is though, so maybe not. Yay human interpersonal relationships!
As the gender debate continues on the faerie list, I am struck with how completely in the dark various participants are of the fact that yes, other people do exist, and they're not all middle-class white gay males.
dear faeries: there is nothing radical about being an asshole.

Mar. 11th, 2006 12:56 amregarding the radical faerie debate on gender inclusivity....
there's one statement I haven't made because I feel it will likely be inflammatory.
that is:
I find it bigoted and elitist for a genetic male who is male-identified yet wears female drag to say that other gender-variant people cannot understand their point of view.
I will re-assess that statement in the morning.

Mar. 10th, 2006 01:24 pmThe temperature's higher, there's oh-so-much-more sun, the sap is rising and there's green buds on the trees.
What's that mean for me?
HORMONE CITY!
With the (mild) acne, hot flashes, anger flashes, and a severe need to rut, you'd think it was the first time my body has ever seen testosterone.
I'm just hoping it means more back hair.

Mar. 6th, 2006 08:39 amOh, and people are actually pissed that Fagonhisback Mountain didn't win Best Picture, even though it won three other prizes.
If you honestly think that it's a matter of progressive liberal politics whether or not a movie wins a stupid-ass commercially-driven piece of ugly snobbish metal on a wooden stand, you're a retard and you need to go back to Wal-Mart and complete your shopping experience.

Mar. 6th, 2006 08:30 amWeekend overall: still jealous. Dear brain: shut up about it already.
Yesterday: It's finally warm enough to run around in a skirt all day long. Cut more ivy, removed it from the house. Started some new poppy seedlings, changed my mind on how I was going to arrange them in the garden. Did laundry, cleaned a little.
The highlight of the day was the short thunderstorm at sundown.
Skirt plus beer plus smokes plus front porch plus storm equals bliss.
Oh, and there's leeches in the frog pond. I think we'll see fewer frogs this year.

Mar. 2nd, 2006 10:13 amTuesday night I decided to fry my roots so my hair would be presentable (in my terms, at least) for the funeral. Got to hanging out, forgot what I was doing, left the harsh chemicals on my head for 20 minutes longer than I should have. Went to rinse, and my hair came off with it. I now have a bleach white high-and-tight.
The funeral was yesterday. Mom, Dad, and my brother picked me up and we zoomed up to Jackson, met my grandmother and Billy's sister, went to the funeral. The service was very short, and focused on Billy's life as a Christian, which was a nice change from funerals in recent memory.
The one glaring issue was that my grandmother was mentioned in the service exactly once, despite their relationship of many years, and also despite the fact that they have a double headstone and her name is already on it. I got the feeling Billy's family wants nothing to do with her for the most part, but thankfully preachers are not known for defacing headstones.
I do not like seeing my grandmother cry.
I got home and immediately set about polishing off a six pack of beer.

Feb. 23rd, 2006 09:56 amNow that the freeze is done with and it's gonna get continuously warmer, it's time to think about getting the yard ready for summer.
Thusly, I bring you the yardwork to-do list:
front:
finish trimming ivy, take leftovers to b-house to burn
remove ivy where it's getting on the foundation
trim suckers off oak tree
general cleaning, dead sticks and whatnot
pull baby trees
clean up sidewalk and pampas grass
clean up the bushes
back:
general cleaning and straightening
turn compost pile
clean out pond
clean out pool/deck
weed gardens and fountain planter
rip out monkey grass
till old monkey grass spot, add in some loam, prepare for poppies
maybe clone the roses and make more, the one bush just looks pitiful
re-lay brick area under steps
clean and trim porch plants
convert porch from greenhouse back into sitting area
clean up grapes
clean up hanging boxes
... that should keep me busy awhile.
