So... Talking to a friend today i got rather mad because she used "eri 1 hs ther on stre" instead of saying "everyone has their own story." I cannot stand that! What the krikey happened to our generation that we started skipping out on words or using numbers, or just completely messing words up completely?!?! Seriously? Is it that hard to actually spell stuff out?! It's EVERY. Not ERI. I mean... seriously. What's an eri? Does anybody know because i sure as heaven don't. Oh! Or wat instead of what. Really? What's the point in that?! And this girl was our Valedictorian! She was the smartest person i have ever meant. What happened in the past couple of years that miss spelled words like "wat" became her new vocabulary? I swear... i may be the same age but kids today drive me crazy. I'm actually ashamed to admit that i'm the same friggin' age as them. I may miss spell words accidently, i mean I'm not perfect, but to do it repeatedly and on purpose! Why?! Am i seriously the only one that gets bothered by this stuff? Please tell me everyone else is like twisting in their seats to fix peoples vocabulary because i sure as hell am. Anyone!? Ugh! :x :evil:
Yes, yes, YES! If this keeps up, I'll be out of a job...busking to pay my mortgage.
Any requests? I may as well start a list now.
Pessimism. There is no substitute.

My rant for the day... I WISH MY CAT COULD COME HOME BY NOW. He had surgery at the doctors and they don't trust it yet to send him now. I miss him :( But he's in good hands fortunately.

Rather than a rant I would just like to say THANK YOU to Western Digital, I had far too many world movies on my hard drive and really needed to get rid of them ALL. So thank you for the hard drive I bought less than a week ago and having it completely crash. Crash so hard that I couldn't retrieve any data I had on the disks.

At this time I would also like to thank myself for being so stupid in my frustration that I formatted the wrong drive eliminating all of my Tom Baker Doctor Who episodes. Guess it could have been worse it could have been my windows drive...Oh wait no I could just reinstall that.

:x

Once again I was thoughtless. One day I'll lose my head. I went to the doctor and when I got there I realised I didn't take medical examination results so I had to postpone it for another day. Which after all turned out to be good thing because when I came back home I realised I also didn't take the money to pay for a visit with me. I need a new brain.

HAHA!! I've known a couple of women who have said that!! My mom (and quite a few other people) started saying "Cool Beans" about 3 years ago, and it drives me nuts!! What exactly do you mean by cool beans?? Where did beans even begin being referenced in this way?? I'm so confused!!!

I once stomped all over my house looking for my keys, yelling at everyone 'cause we're gonna be late, so help me find my G** D*** KEYS! Which were in my hand. And I threw my soon-to-be husband's wedding ring away a week before the wedding. I think that was more of a subconscious thing than an accident, though.

Hah, I'm always in the search of something that calmly lays on the table. Every time I leave the house something is missing :? But you got back the wedding ring? Or not? :shock:

Yeah. I realized what I'd done and scared the crap out of my brother when I jumped up and started throwing garbage around. Then, just before the ceremony, our best man thought he'd lost both the rings. He'd just set 'em down on a table, and my mom picked them up. He started drinking at, like, 9 that morning. Talk about omens, though.
How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.

That's so funny..people around here say the same thing. "Cool Beans" makes no damn sense.

Every year after Christmas priests visit homes here. And today we had a visit. My mum is catholic so there's no way we didn't let the priest in. It is always so awkward :? Why the hell do they do this? :roll:

Visit for what reason, Swing, is it just a trip to see how you are all going and had you a nice Christmas? It seems like a nice idea but i also wouldnt really know what to say in that situation :|

Visit for I don't know what. Get to know parishioners and get money. But if someone wants, they can go to church, the other way round for me it's like an intrusion.

I can see that feeling like an intrusion. I hate when anybody visits unannounced, it throws me off because I'm not prepared.
