call it what you will

i tend to be pretty real with myself and real with others. this is at least what i strive for.  im a really bad actor.  so upon coming across a couple of recent pictures of myself, i had to admit something- i am starting to get crows feet around my eyes. im 25. i dont know how i feel about this.  so i googled it. low and behold, almost immdeiately i see people say “‘crows feet’… also refered to as ‘laugh lines’…”  laugh lines, huh? well i know ive laughed more than ive had a crow standing on my face, so i think its totally reasonable to stick with the latter name. or i could just be really blunt and tell myself its called AGEING. ew.

i also have spider veins. those are way worse. i have maureen to thank for those bad boys. but you know what? i wont go bald and i will never have a receeding hairline- both of which are far worse.

 

 

jury duty and my opinion on a few other things.

i had jury duty today. i had it coming.  this is my fifth summons, and this time im not a student.

damn.

aside from the obvious lack of financial incintives, i was lacking enthusiasm- to say the least. but, seeing how i am an american citizen i feel very blessed to have been offered the opportunities i have because i have been born in a country such as our own (better yet, Texas) and therefore felt somewhat responsible to take part in my role as a citizen.  so i slapped on my happy face, and gave it a whirl… but was still very much ready to tell them how much i favor the practice of lynching (which-to some degree- is totally true).

jury duty is sooooooo awkward.  huge room, lots of people, EVERYONE is a fish out of water. for as dull as that setting is, it is so prime for people watching.  everyone is out of their element. recognizing the situation, i just started walking around like i owned the place. it humored me, if no one else. after awhile, they started calling blocks of numbers and the cattle drive began.  i was in the last block called, and to make a long story short… they let us go a little early. i didnt even have to convence them of my lynching beliefs. sweet.

 

my other opinion is completely random, but i think the most discriminated group on the planet is left handed people. no, im not left handed. how do we accomodate them? left handed scissors? thats a feable attempt. just a thought.

this ones for the boys: and i do mean boys, not men. if youre a man, than you surely dont do this. brace yourselves, boys. this ones going to be harsh. i know this day in age technology is all the craze. facebook, e-mail, text messaging, iming, myspace… etc….you name it…..  it is really tempting and very easy to get away with flirting and subsequently asking a girl out via these sources.  can i just tell you to stop it? please? really.

WEAK.

WEAK.

and…

WEAK.

grow balls and ask a girl out if you’re interested in her. period. end of story. i dont know about other girls, but you are seriously not giving yourself the upper hand when you start off that way with me. hmmm…. let me think…. is this a guy i can see myself submitting to in the future?…. oh right, he couldnt ask me out to my face so he did it through technology because i might have rejected him…. right- probably not.  do you run the risk of rejection? yes. take it like a man. on second though i really dont care if this was harsh- you need to hear it, apply it, and pass it on to your friends. a girl is going to have a lot more respect for you if you show her being a man is within your character and not just a set of smoke and mirrors you hope she doesnt see through until later down the road. thats all i have to say about that.

well i was going to say something else but appearently i needed a little more room in my head for the previous soapbox because i cant find my other thoughts.  surely they make medication for people like me.

sometimes i feel like i should be walking around with a warning label on.

 

 

page? post? yost? toast? what?

i wouldnt say im particularly new to this whole blog thing, but i dont really attempt to get to know the features of it very well.  i guess i assume they usually change them within 3-6 months anyways, so who really cares.  but, on the other side of that, if you dont teach yourself how to work the continually updating technology around you, you wil fall behind- very fast. and we cant all be married to a gadget geek (not that im married but i can pretty much assure you my husband will not likely be a gadget geek).  so im still trying to learn how everything works and will make a concerted effort to use the resources provided so freely to me. (and by the way, thanks wordpress for the free blogspot/place/ whatever the hippest thing to call this area is)
