I don't really enjoy red either, I prefer white and rosé in the wine category.

The Divine Ms. M 12-14-2009 12:25 AM

sigh Muses' set was epic...:D Made my night...

What makes my day usually is cybering Goth Girls or a nice bowl of pasta.

carakitty 12-14-2009 09:20 AM

One of my lovely mama friends is going to knit me this hat, with slight mods!

Solumina 12-14-2009 05:45 PM

I think my job hunt is over. The follow up interview went really well so we are just waiting on the background check for them to make the job offer and seeing as I have a pretty damn clean record everything seems to be falling into place.

Saya 12-14-2009 09:42 PM

This is for yesterday but whatever, I'm still in a good mood because if it. We had our work Christmas party and it was wonderful. We went to a restaurant for dinner, and our bosses (we have two) surprised us with really nice gift baskets filled with a lot of Wonderbra products (I now own a Wonderbra purse XD) and little odds and ends, including nipple pasties XD I also won a prize in a draw we had (little porcelain snowmen) and our gift exchange actually turned out really good, I was afraid the sushi set would go to someone who hates sushi, but it ended up with a girl who really liked it. I got a really nice reader's wrap that I can't seem to take off. The food wasn't bad, I could only have the salad (it was good though, spinach with cantelope, watermelon and almonds) and I was pleasantly surprised that when people asked "are you vegan?" it was followed up by "I could probably do that" and we talked for a while on how awesome certain veggies are and swapped some recipes. Must remember that one of my bosses's loves anything to do with chickpeas.

carakitty 12-15-2009 01:04 PM

My day was made by getting email from Barnes + Noble saying that my text books have shipped then I went to the campus and bought a couple sets of scrubs and the workbooks. Things finally feel like a reality!

Solumina 12-15-2009 01:36 PM

Well Jake and I decided to open our Christmas gifts from each other early (since we don't know what our schedules will be) so I'm typing this on an adorable pink dsi!

Outstanding!!!!

carakitty 12-15-2009 10:32 PM

Um, scratch what I posted earlier. THIS is what really made my day:

So I went to PetsMart today too. As I'm checking out with my case of cat food and two boxes of milk the cashier compliments me on my necklace. Then I get picked up on out side the store heading to my car!

The guy had exited a few minutes before me with his tiny dog (I think it was some sort of Terrier) He asked me if I knew where the closest DSW was. I told him in my barely here voice that I didn't know what that was. He told me it was a shoe store and I told him there was a Skechers and Payless right over there while pointing in the general direction. He asked if I was new in town and I told him we've been here about six months (which is actually closer to a year but oh well). He said something else (I'm pretty sure) then tells me that I'm a MILF! I chuckle and tell him thanks and good luck with the shoes.

Wow, almost makes the realization that I probably have mild bronchitis worth it!

I was knocked off my feet but tried to stay aware as I went to my car and noticed him talking on a cell phone in front of the store. I'm trying to just take this at face value and not think he was calling an accomplice to tell him of a potential future target. (there had been some recent attacks in shopping center parking lots in our area and I'm feeling a bit vulnerable ATM)

Then I ended the evening cuddling with my man watching the Half Blood Prince and drinking a Cap'n n Coke.

I'm glad that the attention was not totally unwanted and that you took the comment as a positive statement, but since when did that acronym become a socially acceptable compliement?

I'm not picking on you, Cara ... I'm speaking to the culture we live in (and by culture I mean the kind that grows in a petri dish.)

If I casually mentioned to a woman I'd just met, "Hey, you look like someone I'd like to fuck", I'd expect to get slapped ... at minimum. If I amended the statement to, "Hey, you look like a mom I'd like to fuck" (the origin phrase of M.I.L.F.), I wouldn't expect that to change. But I have heard it in many places (on the internet and on TV) that saying to a woman that she's a MILF can be considered flattering and and complimentary at times.

How did that happen? Ladies, any comments or opinions?

korinna5555 12-16-2009 06:21 PM

Des-banana made my week. :]

Ben Lahnger 12-16-2009 08:01 PM

I got the NetFlix sub and then I got the free DVD so I can connect my PS3 up to the wi-fi and stream hundreds and hundreds of movies and television shows instantly on my 47 inch LCD TV.

So I was browsing through the catalog of offerings and found that I can watch the entire television series "Dead Like Me", and someone had mentioned it to me once so I started in on it the other day ...

I've gone through 10 episodes in 2 days (about to hit up #11 next) and that has really made my day for several days in a row. What a charmingly delightful and quirky little show about being dead and being a grim reaper. Fun stuff!!!!

Ya know, I'm really not too sure. Yes, with the way it was worded I probably should have been offended but have been fighting a cold for a few days and that seriously brightened my mood so i haven't wanted to over analyze the moment =) If I felt less like a pile of shit and had more voice I hope I would have told the dude off.

I suspect that so many people are starving for any sort of complimentary attention these days that they are willing to receive it even if it is presented in a somewhat degrading manner.

Alan 12-17-2009 01:57 AM

I get to have a life without stress again for a whole month!

vindicatedxjin 12-17-2009 07:21 AM

I made it to work in 15 min. when it usually takes me 40.

Well, then this constantly updating website of things you can get for free ought to make your YEAR! LOL!

Finishing Latin with the easiest exam of the year. Having passed the course for the year, I now get a good three weeks to see my family, relax, and drink my recently completed home brew beer.

DRM 12-17-2009 04:58 PM

good night gnet

honeythorn 12-18-2009 10:25 AM

The £170 I discovered in my account today. It seems to be comprised of my week in hand and all owed holiday pay from the agency. So I have now been able to put together a nice outfit for a steampunk event in London for a bloody change. All I need is the delightful leather underbust corset and I'm pretty much done! : D

AND I've lost 2 inches off my calves and have found a pair of kneee lngth boots to fit me! *dances*

Ben Lahnger 12-18-2009 10:55 AM

HOW DO I TURN OFF CAPSLOCK? I ACCIDENTALLY TURNED IT ON YESTERDAY AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO TURN IT BACK OFF

The article lists the 20 questions along with the author's snarktastic replies, like the following:

"I sold my only car to help pay for gas money, but now gas has come down in price. How do I get my car back?" I tried to contact this guy, but it turns out that he also sold his computer to help pay for his Internet connection.

Bwah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!

Saya 12-19-2009 09:06 PM

Black bean dip. Its like crack.

Saya 12-19-2009 11:25 PM

Scratch that. Just checked the mail and I got an awesome Christmas card from the person I love most in the world ^_^ And she made a little manga strip in it, we used to have a whole series staring ourselves in high school :3 very nostalgic and makes me happy, although now I miss her.

Still Jack 12-20-2009 01:11 AM

I've had a strange but awesome night.

Alan 12-21-2009 01:40 AM

I got a new job with a slightly higher pay!

Still Jack 12-21-2009 02:28 AM

I got a part time job driving around in a snowplow that spits out salt. Best thing is I'm working with A mate of mine from Metz. so we get to listen to loud music and drive a 9 ton vehicle down the street.

Malice In Wonderland 12-21-2009 05:18 AM

Got a new monitor that only needs a little fixing.
Mean this one can become wall mounted.
Also got given money.
I like having money.

Ben Lahnger 12-21-2009 07:09 AM

I found out a naked protest in New York was canceled due to cold weather. I was amused that they couldn't anticipate the low temps this time of year, but I was most amused by the first headline I read about it:

Topless Protest Is A Big Bust

Dude, with that thing you could totally run over any snowmen in the street!

My thoughts exactly.

Still Jack 12-21-2009 01:17 PM

Scratch the job. A girl I've liked ( platonically ) for quite a while, because she's got an excellent sense of humour , a great taste in both literature in music, Is astoundingly beautiful and rather intelligent. Is interested in me romantically.

Simon's Cat reminds me so much of Lucy.

honeythorn 12-21-2009 02:24 PM

I need a T shirt with that cat on it. The site shop is closed so I'll have to make one goddamnit!

Solumina 12-21-2009 03:05 PM

Jake is no longer sick and I seem to be just about all better, yay 48 hour colds

Solumina 12-21-2009 03:38 PM

I went to the grocery store and got hit on twice and I didn't even brush my hair this morning, I feel like a pretty pretty princess ^_^

carakitty 12-21-2009 03:42 PM

Dad brought a large box of stuff that was hiding in the closet of my old room at his house. In this box, among other things, were some of my old cassettes! More Sisters of Mercy, some Ministry, and I'm sure there's some recordings from my my brother's old recording days! Very cool. Too bad the only working tape deck is in my car though.

THIS made me smile.

Also, I was reading a woman's MySpace page where she claims she has Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst Syndrome which means she sneezes whenever she sees the sun. I'm an atheist but if this is true, it might make me believe in god ... and believe that she's got a sense of humor!

honeythorn 12-22-2009 11:03 AM

My corset arrived and it fits beautifully and is very comfortable. I'm so so pleased!
