Key to the Ear

I was talking to the cashier at Dollar Tree about aquarium plants when a gentleman listening asked a question too. After he paid for his things we stepped aside and began to talk a bit. He, like me, is a junior aquarist and wanted to know where to purchase healthy yet rare aquarium plants here in the city. While talking he took his car keys from his pocket, singled out one key, inserted it in his ear and began to clean it. He then pulled the key out, wiped it on his jeans and fiddled with the keys. When we stopped talking, maybe 5 or 6 minutes later, he wanted to shake my hand goodbye, but I declined. I told him I wasn’t trying to be offensive but I’m not really one to shake hands. He said he didn’t blame me because this day and age you never know what you’re going to get from simply shaking someone’s hand. Tell me about it!

Pathetic Loser

If you do this, you’re a pathetic loser. Every instance here has happened to me before which means I’ve had experience with major, major losers.

Right now my car is down which means I have to rely on others for basic transportation. I understand charging gas money. I get that, but when you ask anywhere from $10 to $20 to go less than a 5 mile round trip then you have no morals. If you think its right to take that kind of money from a person who lives so far below the poverty line they can’t even see it, then you are a pathetic loser.

The Bi-sexual Addict

A neighbor stopped by earlier this evening to see the cat (its her family’s cat that I’m fostering). While here she and I got on the subject of lesbianism. That always happens. I’m not sure why but it does, people just have to ask all sorts of questions and make really silly assumptions about what girls do. She’s also one of those people who can’t accept the fact that people are gay. She thinks that I haven’t found the right guy yet and that I just have to get out there and find him. She kept giving me scenarios that might turn me on and make me want to sleep with a guy. I kept telling her no, I don’t think so. Finally I told her the one thing I would do, which resulted in her raising her glass for a toast. LOL. I blushed but she wanted to toast. LOL.

Conversation Bits

Girl 1: He paces in the basement, back and forth, back and forth.
Girl 2: He’s got him in the basement? You can’t keep a mountain lion in the basement.
Girl 1: It’s only when he’s feeding him…and he keeps the lion away from kids because he doesn’t like kids.
Me: He probably does like kids, the meaty ones.
Laughter
Me: What’s wrong with people? Don’t they watch Fetal Attractions on Animal Planet? I guess mauling only happens to other people…like say to this guy who thought it would be okay to keep a 500 pound tiger in a tiny apartment in the projects of Harlem.

Time and Energy

I want sleep but more than sleep I want escape. More than escape I want peace of mind. Right now I pretty much feel out of my head. I feel desperate. My hormones are out of control… again. Will I survive perimenopause then menopause itself? Will my roommates survive it?

Stuff goin’ on

I have another dental appointment tomorrow.

I’m totally behind on blogs and emails but I’m somehow keeping up with orders as well as making a few extra dolls and two new clay sculptures. One doll has been posted on my blog, others will follow shortly. Yasmine, bag holder doll.

Now, onto not so creative stuff.

When crap hits the fan one should hope the fan is on low. Continue reading ‘Stuff goin’ on’

This is Where I Live

I live in Indiana where Union’s are now under fire.

I live in Indiana where tax payer dollars are being spent to ensure that no homosexual is allowed to marry. Despite the fact that we pay our taxes, vote in officials and abide by the law we are still not allowed to marry. Please vote for me, pay your taxes, obey the law and accept less than everyone else.
