Dead Granny

I really hope this isn't the way I die. Poor lady, she just lived in a bad neighborhood and couldn't get any peace.

daddy's little girl

The following is my imagined side of a conversation that could possibly happen after next weekend:
"Hey Dad, how are you? How was the trip to Germany for Joyce's birthday? (tunes out and thinks - and you have no money?) Yeah I'm doing fine. Sure I've made some progress on my thesis. Well, not as much as I want because I've been moving. Oh no not into the purple house with Chris. No, actually I'm moving somewhere else. Uh...I'm moving into Matt's house. Yeah, I know you don't think it's a great idea but I really feel like it's the right move for me. Yeah, yeah I know that God wouldn't approve. But Dad, I haven't exactly been to church in 7 years. Well, except for those visits to your pentacostal palace in Acworth. No, Dad, I'm not pregnant. Well I'm sorry you don't agree but I'm 25 and I think I've proven that I can make good decisions (that you know about). Well, I remember you were engaged to Joyce after 4 mos and then living at her house all the time. Uh huh, yeah I know you were "on the futon in the basement", yeah. well Matt has a futon, too."

I am internally debating whether or not to grow some balls and stand up like an adult and defend my right to live the way I want. So far I've taken the "don't tell him and avoid it all together" route. Or the "he never visits here anyway" plan. Also known as the "chicken shit coward" strategy.

Crusades Part Deux

When I read the emails my grandpa sends or forwards me I become very afraid of the right wing nut jobs that are putting out this wacked out bullshit. The following is an email he sent the family that puts the fear of Holy War in me. It also makes me ask the question, do these types of people remember that this is a nation based on "religious freedom"? Am I automatically defined as a christian because I am an American? I think these people even scare Jesus.

"Can Muslims be Good Americans? Can a devout Muslim be an American patriot and a loyal citizen?
Consider this:

Theologically, no. Because his allegiance is to Allah.

Scripturally, no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).

Geographically, no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially, no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically, no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically, no, because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).

Religiously, no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)

Intellectually, no, because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically, no, because Islam, Mohammed Quran's, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and __expression.
Democracy and Islam cannot co - exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually, no, because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as our heavenly father, nor is he ever called Love in the Quran's 99 excellent names.

************

Most everyone probably knows this, but seeing these points in black and white does make you focus nore clearly that the long range plan of Islam is to make the world an Islam world.Once this happens it will be their way or the high way.That's their plan and it's starting to slowly unfold in spiritually dead Europe.

Therefore,it would be wise to begin deporting all Muslims AND begin to shut down the thousands of mosques that have started up throughout the USA. Though this should be done, I do not think our leaders want to even think about this scenario, until it's too late -- then we will have riots, and,an all out battle on our hands.The old "Ostrich head in the sand" mentality.

They obviously cannot be both good Muslims and good Americans because of their long term goal !! Call it what you wish..it's still the truth. Hey,it's written in their Quran for goodness sake. It's their game plan, Mohammed demands it !

We are,as a country, going to receive God's payback for over 40,000,000 babies killed in their mothers womb since 1973 and Roe-Wade. And, legalizing and teaching acceptance of the sodomites and their abominable lifestyle--we can count on it !! Maybe Islam will be one of the hammers God uses on America,as we reap what we have sown,and are sowing, in our ungodlessness, through our rejection of God's Word and It's direction.

Share this with your friends. The more who understand this truth, the better it will be for our country."

Kuddle Kitties

There are currently three kitty kats at my soon to be house. Unfortunately they are all full grown and not as compact as the ones pictured above. My boyfriend is a saint because he let me bring my cat who is currently residing in our bedroom. Meanwhile a newly spayed wildcat who is not allowed outside and an antisocial bladder infected domestic are roaming the rest of the place. And then there's Forbin the dog who is a wonderful handful. I think the Compound is slowly becoming wild kingdom.
Julia leave for Atl today and England on Tuesday. Robin is flying to Chicago today and I will see her next month. I am going to the urologist, AGAIN.

Nana, I thought you were dead!

Ladies and gentlemen, the dead have risen and a species of rodent commonly called a rat-squirrel has been discovered in Laos! Rat-Squirrel
It was previously thought to be extinct - which means it's probably about 10 years from actually being a fossil. Along with every other goddamn animal on the planet. Which ones are here to stay, that's what I want to know. Roaches, ants, deer, feral cats...can't think of any others that aren't on the endangered list.

Things are happening people, regardless of the fact that I still don't have a job.
My sister while be stateside via chicago as of next Friday! She will be in Texas and then Georgia in July! Hooray! I can't wait to see her and have her stay with me. And I think our stay with mom will be pleasant unless she demands on bitching about dad and her alimony.
My friend Julia is moving to England! She is leaving Athens next week and I will cry because she is such an amazing friend. But I am really excited for her because Europe is awesome especially when you are going there to be with someone special.
My major professor extended my deadline for my defense to August. I must have emailed him on a really good day or he's just chilling out b/c its summertime. Either way, it's nice not to get bitched at.
My stomach is hurting b/c my original google image search was "baby killer" and I stumbled upon a rather grisly web collection of photos displaying the remains of Baby John and Baby Barnabas who were victims of "baby killer abortionists." Now in my own defense, I was googling to find a picture along the lines of the hand that rocks the cradle because I'm babysitting for the first time in years today. My fuzzy 9:30 am brain thought "baby killer" would lead to hilarious photos that would nicely compliment a blurb where I question my ability to watch other peoples children. Well, let's just say that was a horrible idea.

Waxing Pathetic

If you want to save $50 on your next brazilian wax, buy your own kit from Eckerd, pop it in the microwave and slather your crotch with purple ooze. Next, rip away the glop with the "cloth" strips provided, re-ripping and ripping on spots that don't seem responsive. After applying the recovery oil, smile to yourself until you see how red some "trouble" spots are. Frown the next day when redness persists. Apply massive amounts of neosporin. Feel skin start to dry out like rattlesnake. Apply more neosporin. Wait. Peel off flaky layers of burned skin. Sigh when you look at oodles of stray hairs and red patches. Vow to pay big bucks and not suffer at your own hands ever again.

Really Trying Here

This photo represents me trying to finish my thesis in the next week. Well, I should say write my thesis. Let's not get into it - I've heard about it enough from everyone else. "You haven't started?" "You should work on it today!" etc etc
It just raises my state of panic which succeeds in paralyzing my fingers as they reach for the keyboard. Today is the day - I have no choice.

For Julia

This entry is for Julia who is moving to England next month. She is my best friend and I will miss her so very much! Without her, I don't think I could have made it through graduate school. She has been my angel, helping me countless times and spreading her sweet enthusiasm for life all around her! I love you Julia!

"When I think of those east end lights, muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And its one more beer and I dont hear you anymore
Weve all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didnt you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
Youre a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye

I never realised the passing hours of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
Im strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
Its four oclock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
Im sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my musics still alive

And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your h.p. demands forever
Theyre coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone"
Elton John, Bernie Taupin
