ramblin’ on.

I updated my Twitter by cell phone this morning, I dunno why.

omshizznit Barbara & Clan sent us housewarming gifts!!!!!  They totally rule but you can’t see them yet because I’m too lazy to upload & edit & all that perfectionist hooey… she sent the most beloved gift… an official NHL Calgary Flames hockey puck.  FUCK.  We’re blissin’.  I want to hang it off the ceiling fan we’re gonna invest in, along with all the other ultimately awesome infinitably hangable stuff, but, well… I’ve been informed it’d look too much like living in an insane crib with control over the on/off switch on the mobile.  I don’t want to live in a home of insane babies.  Again.

I like it when people at work owe me big favors.  You know that shit’s gonna pay off brilliantly, baby.  I had to deliver a pair of shoes to this art gallery down the street for this chick who’s a friend of the daughter of a co-worker, what kind of fucked up shit is that… but man, the place was, like, omg… I thought I’d been thrown back to the BAD 70’s.  Dudes in polyester wide-lapelled polyester shirts and polyester pants & the polyester tie… it was leisure suit hell.  Those art gallery folks, I don’t think I want their drugs.  Anymore.

Jen sent me down memory lane tonight with some mental ramblings from this guy she wanted to hook up with… hahah… just kidding.  She’s not his type, which is a good thing ‘cuz Jen’s real, ya know?  He’s a sick predator.  What it kicked off for me is my renewed complete disdain for revisionism.

If you don’t wanna talk about something, don’t talk about it.  Simple.  And for the love of anything sacred, don’t re-write history in the hopes of justifying or pumping up your life… it IS what it IS, deal with it/fix it/fuck it up, whatever…

But when you lie about your past?  You invalidate other people who played a part in that segment of your life.  I wanna yank his junk off with my own (heavily gloved) hands & feed them to him in a “mental illness” frenzy.

fuckstick.

just let your soul glo, let it shine through.

I had my second mammogram yesterday, woohoo that was fun.  Actually, I don’t know what all the fuss is about.  I mean sure, your boobs get flattened & it’s a little uncomfortable, but hell I’d rather go through a few seconds of ugh than whatever hell awaits with breast cancer, ya know?  I read this one chick’s blog (I’m not linking this whackjob), dude, she went off on how mammograms were this sick perverted scam concocted by doctors so they could get their rocks off.  Uh, W.T.F.!?!?  Dig this quote from her site:

Think about this logically.

If your cancer is detected two years earlier than it normally would have been… you haven’t really lived two years longer.  Instead, what you’ve “gained” is two extra years of medical treatments that fail to save your life.

In other words, as the above articles show, “early detection” – that is, detection of cancer at a stage a woman wouldn’t ordinarily notice any differences in her breasts – does not save women’s lives.

Yet a slick, brilliant, fear mongering media campaign has been aimed at us for years.  “Mammograms save lives!”  “Early detection saves lives!” “Every woman over 40 needs to have a mammogram!”

All lies.

All insanity I say.  It’s a fucking x-ray, get over it & if you don’t want one fine, but holy shit, don’t spread ignorance.  Keep it to yourself.

We went back to clean up our old place so we can get our deposit refunded today.  Our old neighbors are either pissed off or jealous ‘cuz they shunned us the entire time which was FABULOUS with me… but it was frankly scary how much crap we chucked.  We filled an entire dumpster, & that’s not including the garbage we tossed the day we left… I blame GOB.  He’s an insufferable packrat.

Seriously.  We found an old mayonnaise jar filled with empty M&M Mini containers… it wasn’t until I saw it when I remembered him stashing that away 5 yrs ago, positive as a proton, that they’d be useful someday… yeah, right.

We also re-discovered our electronic dartboard (Cricket anyone?), my high school diploma, our rock tumbler, & all my old knitting needles that I’ve had to replace so now I’ve got double+ on everything!

I also found my military ID from when I was still married to Darrin.  My hair didn’t like the hot humid Georgia weather, can you tell?
