Wheel of misfortune

3 Things that Annoy Me

[Not sure why I am on a '3' kick.....]

1. While watching Wheel of Fortune daily at 7:00pm for the last 20 years or so, I have noticed something that irritates the hell out of me:

When someone is close to solving the puzzle, and they know what the answer is, they STILL guess vowels to fill in the blank spaces. Hellooo vowels cost $250 each! Why buy them if you know what the answer is??? That just means you win less money you retard!!!!

Now I realize this probably isn’t something that should irritate me.. But I often find myself uncontrollably yelling at the TV as if they could hear me, telling the people what giant morons they are.

I can’t help it.

2. This.  Shut the hell up! So apparently a scene in an episode of Nip/Tuck is outraging a bunch of homophobic, bible thumping crazies- The Parents Television Council.

“Earlier this month, the PTC was horrified that NBC accidentally showed a raised middle finger during the Golden Globes live telecast.”

Seriously? If you raised your kids right, and taught them that television is not real, and that only grown ups should use bad language/gestures, then you won’t have a problem.

Today their objection is to an episode of frequent PTC target “Nip/Tuck.” The scene in question, video below, “depicted a woman using an electric carving knife to cut off her own breast.”

I watched it. [the video is at the bottom of the article page] It’s not that bad. Some cartoons are worse than a lot of television shows. And there are PLENTY of shows that have a lot of bad scenes in them.  Let’s just sue everything!

Please let me remind you: It’s FAKE. Special effects. Fake blood. Not real. Teach your kids that. Meanwhile, why are they up this late anyways? This show comes on late at night, on a random channel that, unless I’m mistaken, doesn’t have kids shows on it. They shoudl be in bed. And if you don’t like it, change the channel. Simple as that. Why ruin everyone else’s pleasure because you are super sensitive?

I have no sympathy for you. Idiot.

My parents let me watch all kinds of crap when I was younger. I watched scary movies until I couldn’t sleep at night because I was paranoid that the tunneler puppet from Puppet Master was going to come into my room and drill holes in my head while I was asleep. [And let me tell you, at 8 years old, that puppet is SCARY!! The other ones freaked me out too.]

But I learned that they are MOVIES and I learned the difference between real News, and fake TV. I knew what sex was at a young age… my mom didn’t call our private parts “pee pee’s” and “ta ta’s.” We learned the real words. And I’m not a raging psychopath or a dirty whore. I turned out just fine.

For the most part.

3. When it snows then rains ice and you don’t drive your car for 3 days because you’re scared, and probably a terrible driver anyway: As a common courtesy to others, please clean the deadly sheets of ice off of the top of your car. When you’re driving down I-95 at 70MPH, that 5 foot long sheet of ice becomes a deadly weapon. Especially when the entire things flys off the roof of your car and shatters all over my hood and windshield. Thanks for the scratches on my new car. I appreciate it. Wish I could return the favor!

It also causes people to swerve and run me off the road. So I would GREATLY appreciate if you would take just 10 extra minutes (max) of your time and brush/scrape the weapons off your roof.

Please?

 

3 things

I think a new blog is well past due. A few things have been going on since I last wrote. Let’se see:

1.House Hunting

Zac and I have been looking at houses for the last 3 weekends or so. He accepted his new job and starts on February 17th. We need to find something soon! We have been looking in the Silver Spring, MD area. [Anyone know any good rentals??] I am getting a little annoyed with the looking. A lot of the houses we have looked at are gross and old. I have no problem with old, and I really can’t because that whole area is old and decrepid, but yuck!

Here are a couple of things I think suck about looking at older houses:

- Who puts carpet in a kitchen? And why is it as thin as felt and stripey?
- Why do houses still have counter tops from the 1950’s and 60’s?
- That sink in your bathroom with the rust stain where the water has dripped for years? Replace it! It’s gross! If I dropped my toothbrush in there, I would throw it away. Tetanus shot please!
- Cape Cod houses = shitty use of space. Unless you are a midget, most people can’t stand in the upstairs room with the triangle roof!!! Raise it!
- Appliances original to the house from the 1950’s are gross and probably laden with lead and herpes.
- A 4′x6′ sized room is not a bedroom. It’s a closet.
- That addition you added onto the back of your house? Shoulda made it wider than 5 feet. What the hell are we going to use that room for? Nothing fits!
- Pantry= nice
- Closets = amazing
- The random toilet in the basement with no sink, mirror or anything else? Kinda creepy. Did you accidentally put the outhouse in the basement?

Hopefully we will find something this weekend when we go look. We have a couple on our radar- just waiting for things to fall into place. Then it will be move in time and furniture shopping.

I’m going to be uber poor.

2. Job Offer

I got offered the job at the five sided building in DC. Kinda started the hiring process, then decided I wasn’t ready to take it. Mom and dad were pissed. Work promised me a raise and a security clearance. God I hope they follow through and I didn’t make a mistake!!! It was SUCH a hard decision!

I hate being a grown up.

3. Cancer

Mom is almost done with her chemo!!!! I went to Walter Reed with her today for the first time and sat with her for her chemo treatment.  OMG it was so boring! But I was happy to be there for her. Her last treatment is sadly on her birthday -February 10th. But hopefully she wont have to do anymore!!!

 

Those who tried to knock me down..

I’d like to thank those who tried {and possibly succeeded} to knock me down. You’ve made me realize how much people suck.

I have some GREAT friends and I love them.. but more often that not, I friend shitty people. I dont know why.  I always become “friends” with the bitchy, mean, rude, backstabbing girls whose main goal in life is to make people miserable.  I dont understand this..Why are people such assholes? 

So I get to move outta my apartment YAYYYYYYYY so I was packing my kitchen stuff last night.. and at 7am this morning Sarah comes knocking on my door asking me why i took the kitchen utensils that were on the stove and where I put them.. all she had to do was look in the drawer where all the other ones were and she would have seen the ones from the stove in there.. and just now she accused me of stealing her salt.. all she had to do was look in the cabinet and she would have seen it. But nope… Such hateful people…

I am SOOO glad, well ecstatic that I get to move! =D =D =D  I emailed the 2 apartment choices I have.. hopefully one of the girls will be nice and super awesome..

I dont get to graduate in May like planned {stupid Longwood}.  Instead, I am done with classes here the last week of April then I have 2 clases at NOVA to take then Im DONE WITH COLLEGE!!! WOOOO!!!  I dont think grad school is in my near future… I kinda hate school too much..

Ashley is sending me a package! My first care package ever!!! Im excited! =D

I am wearing my college class ring today for the first time ever, I feel old..

Half my channels arent working.. Hopefully ABC will be in time for Greys..

On a side note, parents of america beware.  Your children’s teachers are coming from Longwood.  Longwood breeds druggies and alcoholics.  Students at Longwood go do their student teaching DRUNK off their asses.  My room mate is a prime example.  You do NOT want these people teaching your kids.

Umm ya…enough ranting.
