Raindrops on my head
I think it rained this morning, while I was sleeping. Rain is one of my favorite things, I love walking through the rain with an umbrella and some adorable wellies of course, because I’m not a fan of being wet. But I do love rain, it’s very soothing to me. Every kind of rain has it’s place, nice lazy sunny rain showers are perfect for walking or playing in. Downpours are perfect for curling up under blankets inside, with Tea or Coffee, and a nice book or a good mystery on the television. The loud thunderstorms are good for curling up under the quilts in bed (the whole family-husband and son) and some flashlights telling stories and counting away the storm.
My husband likes rain as well. He prefers to watch the rain though rather than be in it. He can sit for hours watching it, and I’ll admit it is a mesmerizing site. Our son, on the other hand, is afraid of Thunderstorms. It’s awful I know and nothing works because by the time I’ve consoled him to count there’s another big boom and he’s all freaked out again. I try to keep him as distracted as possible, but it doesn’t seem to do much good. I can only hope he’ll love rain someday as much as his father and I do
So apparently people dislike Ikea because of Assembly
I personally am a fan of Ikea. A huge fan.
Perhaps this is because I don’t mind assembling things, though I’m usually not the one doing it. I find it amusing when I do assemble it, especially if I’m doing it by myself. So there really isn’t anything I don’t like about Ikea. hmmm

Wilting
Today has been a bad day. I’m awfully tired, because I had horrible dreams all night about babies getting hurt, and I have a terrible stomach ache. I’ve been waiting and waiting for a parcel and I’ve resigned myself to the belief that it’s never coming. Which makes me sad, because I am really excited about this parcel, and am terrible at waiting. It snowed agaiin today, which is nice and not so nice, because snow is pretty, but the more snow the longer it takes to get to spring. I just feel listless, and nauceous, and just want to take a nap, after perhaps eating a chocolate donut. I feel as though I was a pretty flower, but now I’m just wilted.
Kinda makes things awkward when I tell people I'm pagan

Hello Seattle
I’ve always wanted to live in Seattle. I don’t really know much about the city. Just that one day when I was younger I decided that was the place I needed to be someday. I have an idea of Seattle in my brain. I’m not sure if I dreamed it up or if I saw a picture of the city at some point and it stuck in my brain. I picture Seattle to be a gray city, with tall cement buildings, and raining drizzling down, when I think about being there, I’m always in my early 30’s, there’s always this little cafe I stop at every morning with the sweetest barista on my way to the bookstore I run. I picture trips to the park with my family on sunny days, and I’m always happy. As you can see I really don’t know much about Seattle at all. I just feel a sense of belonging when I talk about Seattle. When I think about it, I get a warm fuzzy feeling, and I feel like life will be wonderful there, and I can’t wait to get there. The thing is I don’t really know if I’m ever going to get to live there. So I just have too wait and see.
How to feel better.
Get up. Leave your desk. Grab a friend. Take a sandwich. Go for a walk. Outside. In the sunshine. Talk about everything. Eat your sandwich. Walk some more. Eat a donut. Breathe fresh air.
Good times.
You have Sunshine? I’m jealous, also Donut, I’m jealous of that too.

Why Geeks Make Good Lovers →
awkwardthingsisaytogirls.com
One of the Universal Truths that lie just beyond the fabric of modern society is the axiom that geeks, along with nerds and other peoples who overinvest in intelligence but boast underdeveloped social skills, make the best lovers. Once people realize this, the sexual revolution that will sweep through western culture will make the seventies look like the fifties, and I’m not talking about wider pants. The reasons why geeks are unparalleled as lovers are simple and many:
Geeks don’t sleep around. Geeks, through their higher IQ and therefore greater understanding of the tragedy of human condition, know that the dice only seem to have more sides on the other side of the table. Hence, they instinctively stay loyal to their lovers through thick and thin. Their social skills are also not well developed enough to support an affair, and frankly, geeks generally aren’t quite sure how they ended up with the lover they have attracted. When you date a geek, you know the geek will be yours until you are done.
Geeks are good at the things they try. When’s the last time you met a geek who didn’t have some secret skill just simmering below the surface of a simple-seeming life, honed in the wee hours of the night? It could be hacking, playing video games, or the ability to insert and remove those stupid computer power plug things from drives without cursing or breaking a finger. Let sex become their new favorite late-night hobby, and you know that a geek won’t quit until he or she has learned how to hack into your brainstem through specific genitalia interfacing in parallel with general dermal and oral bonding.
Geeks are not interested in status. Geeks became geeks because they chose to spend their time doing things that would not necessarily make them popular with everyone else in school, like sports and fashion. The ability to resist peer pressure is important to a geek. This means that a geek is more interested in their or your happiness than looking good to others, which will come in handy when either (a) you need attention, in any sort ranging from the nurturing to the lascivious, and also, because both of those things are not necessarily unorthagonal dimensions, any combination of the two, or (b) you need to be rescued because it is the climax of a teen 80’s movie. Or both.
Geeks haven’t formed bad habits. After years of serially dating lots of other women, many socially successful guys have become too confident to be intimate, think of women only for sex, and don’t have any intention of letting what in their minds is “just another girlfriend” enjoy the last spring roll. Let us not even pry into the diabolical, dark, twisted, and depraved mind of the girl who has serially dated many men. None of this is true of the geek, however. The lack of past romantic partners allows the geek to approach lovers with the zest of the neophyte. Geeks are not full of romantic confidence; however, once coaxed from their emotional holes like tame bunnies, they are eager to please and enjoy their newfound relationship.
Geeks can concentrate. Geeks can focus their energy on one task with the intensity of a hunting cheetah. Granted, the task they are focusing on may have more to do with hunting orcs with a +1 Sword of Piercing rather than hunting gazelles with claws, but the fact remains that a geek, once set upon a task and given Mountain Dew, becomes a tireless slave to their goal. Put a six-pack of Dew on the bedside table and a geek between the sheets, and you have found yourself one relentless lover. When’s the last time all night actually meant all night? When’s the last time you were with someone who, if they needed more of the night, knew how to get it?
Geeks have excellent finger dexterity. Geeks roll dice. Geeks play video games. Geeks flip pages in books. Geeks type a lot, and use characters like ~ and ^ and | that no one else has any use for. Geeks use calculators in postfix notation. As a result, a geek knows how to use his or her fingers to greatest possible effect. Whether you have a button that needs pushing or a joystick that needs joy, a geek is the person for the job.
Geeks have imagination. Once you have found your amazing lover, you wouldn’t want things to become boring. That is where geeks prove their real worth. Replayability is important to the value-conscious video-game playing geek, and this translates to relationships as well. Wouldn’t you want to date someone who has created a Quake 3 mod? Wouldn’t you want to date someone who has written steamy Everquest fan fiction involving elven incest? Wouldn’t you want to date someone who wished they were Morpheus rather than someone who wished they were Barry Bonds?
There are plenty of other reasons why geeks are the best lovers around, but don’t just take my word for it. Find the nearest sexy geek and coax that person into asking you out, even if you have to do so using instant messanger. Remember: the only non-sexy geek is a single geek.
This is so true, that it hurts, but in a John Cougar Mellencamp way.
I married a nerd, who are if possible supposedly even more socially inept than geeks are. Not that I’m say poeticvenom is socially inept, more that he just seriously dislikes people. Anyways what I mean to say is I am a very happy woman.

Cheesy noodles and Sunshine for serious
So my son is eating Chicken Ramen Noodles and Chedder Cheese for dinner. I am allowing this because he’s 3 and food, and he’s eating it. With all the stuff they secretly cram into our food, he’s already had his veggies and fruit for the day. Plus there’s something intensely awesome about eating comfort foods after spending time outside in the snow, playing, building forts and burying dinosaurs. I have had a thing for yellow lately, it just seems so cozy and warm and pretty and springy and bright. Most recently it’s Sunshine Yellow Sweats from Victoria Secret’s Pink . I want to curl up in them and paint my nails and be bright and girly and happy. Best of all I total said going down on fraggle crotch and @poeticvenom said “did you just say ‘Fraggle crotch?’” he totally missed the first part….hehe!
We aren't on speaking terms now.
Me: What was Worf’s race on Star Trek: The Next Generation? I can’t believe I can’t recall this right now.
My Brain: Uranus!
Me: No, that is part of a joke. Think harder.
My Brain: Uranus!
Me: You are not even trying. You just waited a few seconds and gave me the same answer back.
My Brain: No, it’s Uranus.
Me: It’s not. That is not right. Worf is not a “Uranus” or “Uranian” or whatever. That is the stupidest thing you’ve ever said to me.
My Brain: Fuck off.
Worf was a Klingon
I know this because there is a book out there somewhere called learn Klingon or something like that, and when I was little my dad had it, and he used to talk in Klingon when he was mad at us (us being me and my siblings).
Also I am a nerd.
@manabear
How are you?
I’m good, in the process of cleaning my house and making cookies, ya know playing at the whole 50’s housewife thing
@manabear
manabear answered your question: Do you see my kitty background?
Yes, I love it, I just bought Hello Kitty band-aids, because she’s awesome
Thank you<3 someone told me she can’t see the picture and everything’s purple but maybe it’s just her computer.
I do have so much Hello Kitty stuff, i just love it<3Yep Definitely her computer :) I don’t have to much Hello Kitty stuff, but that’s because I don’t want my son to steal it from me…He’s three and likes the pretty kitty.
I do understand him ;) I have a lot of these little Kittys with candy inside them.. I think he would like em a lot ;) What’s his name btw?
Eirean, he’s a typical boy in all other ways until it comes to Mommy’s toys, then he wants them.
That’s a really cute name. I think every little boy has a little “female thing”. How is he?
He’s good a very happy child thankfully, I don’t worry to much about him liking girl things, I think it balances children out to play with boy and girl toys.
That’s good. I don’t know much about children but I think a child should be able to chose what he wants to play/wear or which colours he likes and not be pushed into something. So Hello Kitty is a good thing. For everyone ;)
YES! I very much agree.

efforts to be a Mythtern
As many people know the #IMASUPERFAN contest on twitter to meet the Mythbusters has ended tonight. Now I wait with bated breath to see if I won. I doubt it because I already won something this year, but since it’s the first thing I’ve ever won, maybe it means my luck is changing. Since I believe you make your own luck, then probably so, because I have changed a lot over the past year.
If I won this contest, I would be in utter shock, because I it would be like a dream come true. This is something I would get on a plane for, and TRUST ME, I am not a plane person. I have not ever been on a plane, and until this contest have had no desire to. This is how much I love the Mythbusters, and how badly I would like to be a mythtern. I know I’m not going to get a job from them just because I met them at this contest, but it might help later when I do feel that I am capable of actually being an asset to them, for more than just my intense love of what they do. I can be all like ‘Hey I met you before, you didn’t think I was insane..Oh wait you did, wow your really kind people that you didn’t run away screaming.’
Anyways, I am trying to get myself more science-y ready and will be obsessively watching the Mythbusters until poeticvenom screams at me and rips out his hair. I truely love what they do, and I aspire to do it as well. I just wanted to let you know I haven’t forgotten, Operation Mana be a Mythtern, is still in full swing.
Feeling like the Sound of Music
Things that make me happy: 1. Dinosaurs 2. Sunflowers 3. Skirts 4. Washing my face 5. Bright Colors 6. My hair 7. Pineapples 8. Nerdlove 9. Pillows 10. Nestle Water 11. Pajamas 12. Painting my nails 13. Presents 14. Blankets
Sign was found in my local diner ‘Jack’s’, the foods awesome here, they have a Turkey Melt that’s just this side of orgasmic!
A Chick Flicky Night in
Well saying a night in with me is really unnecessary since I don’t go out very often anyways. I don’t go out though because I do love nights in. Especially if they are some kind of stormy and I have both Cherry Cordial and Pineapple Sherbet waiting for me in my freezer. Along with 2 new nail polishes. The only thing missing is a mud mask. I have a face-mask, but I’ve been wanting to do a mud mask for awhile now. I feel like my skin needs it. Plus I have Netflix instant play and a bazillion DVD’s and even a rental place I can walk too it nothing seems to be awesome enough.
I have a large list of things that I need to do, so if I get them all done then this is going to be my reward, because PoeticVenom has a lot of homework to do this weekend. Even if he gets them done, then I might be able to convince him to curl up with me to watch the movie, if it’s a comedy and not a full blown chick flick. If not I’ll be the good little wife, and let him take over the T.V. and watch my stuff on the laptop with headphones. Mainly because it’s awesome to watch him play video games because he’s good at them and all slick and devious, but he doesn’t cheat, and damned hilarious if he’s drunk. Though also because he friggin works hard all week, and needs some winding down time too.
I just wonder what movie I should watch?
Nothing Nothing Tra La La
I’ve done virtually nothing but sit here and be nostalgic all damn day. Now I feel cheated
You look so good, you look like Jello.
This post is for T
T is my best friend. She can never really fuck up in my eyes. Sometimes the way she goes about things is a little messier, but she always gets to where she’s going. I just can’t get mad at her. No matter what happens, no matter how much of a mess she’s in, I just am not mad. She is the brightest, most fun person to be around. The best way I can think of to describe her is like a Sparkle. T is the most beautiful person in my life. I can’t even describe how much I love her. She’s taught me and helped me so much.
She’s finally getting everything together, getting rid of her horrible roommate, has an extremely awesome job, that she has deserved for awhile now. People don’t always treat her right though, she has a lot of fake friends, that are good for a drink, but totally not there when the bottles empty and the hangover has set in. She gets used a lot because she’s a kind and generous person. Most people don’t see that she needs someone too, they just take and take and take from her, and expect her to take their shit and still be there in the morning. Most often she is, and if she isn’t she usually forgives you not long after. It’s not because she’s a doormat, it’s because she cares, truely truely cares about people. She wants to see the good in people, she wants to find love and have a wonderful happy home, surrounded by friends, she wants to have fun, and laugh and smile. You can’t fault someone for wanting that, I think her honesty about wanting that from her life is amazing.

What you get being my friend.
I will never kiss your ass. We both shit brown, we are both pink inside. Unless you start paying my to be your entourage, I will not walk around like your designated groupie.
I will never laud you or heap undeserving praise on your plate. I will not start the wave or throw you a party every fucking time you tie your shoes.
I won’t bullshit you. If those jeans make your ass look huge, I will not only tell you, but I will refuse to walk around with you if you insist on looking like a dumb ass.
I will not agree with everything you say. If you say something stupid, or something I find fault in, I will point it out and let you know how I feel.
I will be grateful to have you in my life, and even though I might not vocalize it all the time, will make sure I find ways to let you know you’re appreciated.
I won’t force you to call me, or text me or want to see me. I will also not be your beck and call girl when your plans fall through. If you can’t make time for me, I will NOT bend for you.
I will never lie to you. Even if it means we never speak again.
I will burst your denial bubble. If you prefer walking around with your head in your ass and oblivious to the obvious…that’s fine. However, I cannot pretend I don’t see the 400 pound gorilla in the room, and if you are living foul or behaving like a tool, I will pull your card and rip you a new one.
I will trust you with my whole heart. I will be raw and open and share my feelings, good bad or indifferent. I will use you as my touchstone and will confide in you. And pray you do the same.
I will make you laugh. Often and always.
I won’t make fun of you when you tell me your dreams. And if I can help you make some of them happen…I will be your wish list wing man.
I will be the best friend you ever had and will do everything I can to make you believe that.
I wanna be your friend because that’s how I feel about friendships.

Spring fever
I have Spring Fever, or since it’s not Spring yet, I guess Cabin Fever would be more accurate. I’m very ready for warm weather and frolicking outside. I want to grab takeout and have picnics, I want to see the flowers and trees begin to bloom. I’m ready to wear dresses and skirts without tights. Ready for sunshine and faerytales. To have all that carefree spring/summer fun, go to the Zoo, the Aquarium, and the movies. I want to get up early have lovely mornings drinking coffee and playing with my son. I want the nostalgia of water babies sun block, and ice pops. Flip Flops, sunglasses and a new swimsuit. Late nights up watching bad movies with my bestie and laughing all night long. Sweet dates with my husband going to the local diner or ice cream shop. I’m tired of winter and boots. I need sun and ballet flats. I just want life to feel free again.
Apparently I'm extremely loveable and attractive, thanks Urban Dictionary
