Old (Blogspot) Theme/Layout
 |
| RIP 2010-2012 <3> |
I know, I know, it's sad, but when I started, there were only three themes (including this one), and it wasn't Blogger; it was still Blogspot! Anyways, hope you enjoy the new theme/layout, and g'night!
Recommended Software (Microsoft Windows)
Foreword: This list may or may not, as I feel like it (that's just the truth), may be updated from time to time, including, but not limited to: revising version numbers, ensuring hotlinks work/finding new ones, refilling the coffee maker, feeding the cats, feeding the cats to dog - I mean... onto the next thing on the list; taking the cows out to pasture, oh and checking for spelling errors and adding in new and relevant content. This post is subject to change with or without notice, monkeys eat bananas, and you accept this list as the independent black woman that it is, with no warranty, written, explicit, implied or otherwise (that came out dirty (so did that)). You have thuslee be warned! Oooh! Wooo! (or something like that) ... *whistles* Anyhoo... onto the actual post!
Here's some pretty cool stuff that you should like, use, and stuff. Also, here's a legend so that you can tell if it's cool to just like, use it for whatever, or, like, not for whatever.. and stuff.
OOH, BY THE WAY! Before I forget: If you couldn't tell by the title, this is a three-part mini-series, or something like that, and each one is specific to a different type of OS. So come back next week (er, better yet, make it a year or so) and I'll have the one for Apple up (maybe (possibly (probably shouldn't get your hopes up (yea'.. it's not gonna' happen))))...
(Most Definitely Not) Red: Cannot, in fact, use it for whatever, and stuff.
(It's All Cool) Blue: All good for using it for whatever, and stuff.
(Sort of) Orange: You can probably use this for whatever, but you might have to ask, or something. IDK.
Also, company name is next to the product name, and version number is somewhere in there as well (if I could/felt like finding it).

What an Adventure: Four Days at My Girlfriend's House
Pardon my tartness and rudeness on this one, as I am jumping straight into it after this foreword. I'm also currently writing a post on theology and general religion, and so I'm typing this one as a quick filler about my days spent over there until I can get my other post typed up.
I got home at ~16.00 on Thursday. Unusual since we usually were just arriving in Middlebury by 16.00, much less dropping me off (about fifteen minutes early). My girlfriend texts me, asks me if I would spend the night. I said no on account on my having school the following day. An argument ensued, and I told her that I'd consider it. My father and I went to DQ across the street; a rare occurrence these days; between my father's looming divorce, my schoolwork, my daughter and girlfriend, and life in general, there wasn't much time to go out and eat, even if it is just across the street. Money is another issue altogether, although he had managed to obtain some offered to take me with, and I obliged. After eating and talking, we returned home and continued talking for several more minutes, before I eventually went to my room.
I considered my options, and figured that in order to avoid another argument and see my girlfriend and daughter, I might as well just go ahead and spend the night. However, I bring my computer this time, as I have been playing Need for Speed: Underground 2. Unfortunately, I forgot my modem and so was restricted to FB Mobile, MySpace Mobile, and Twitter Mobile. Not too bad. I have unlimited texting on my phone and I can text almost anyone that I chat with online anyhow. Her mother picked me up at around 23.45. If I may go off on a side note. Of course I can; it's my blog! She is 60? ..and she cannot sleep alone (which she has a dog and my daughter there) in the house that her husband designed and paid for and on the property that they have resided on for 20 years.. *sigh* ..anyways... I played NFSU2 on Thursday night until around 02.00. During this time we (my girlfriend and I) got into another argument, in which it got so bad that she told me to leave. During the course of the argument, she called three times initially, and I figured it was to scream at me. :p
Turns out her car wouldn't start because of low gas (this is true; if your car has less than a quarter to a half tank, it is much more difficult to start in cold weather, as some of the piping can freeze). I did not know this and blatantly ignored all three calls. I finally called her back, and we played phone tag for a bit before she admitted that she was walking home. We resumed the game of phone tag, during the course of which I learned that she had walked back to her car, had gotten it started, and was on her way home. When she got home, she refused to come inside because I was there, and so I went outside.
When I did, I walked up to her car, opened the door, and attempted to touch her, upon which she lashed out (probably rightfully so) and tried to close the car door, apparently without seeing my fat self in the way (not sure how you miss me, but, apparently, you can.. :p). She turns off her car, goes inside, and I walk off... in the snow, with the wind kicking up, all that. Not to be dramatic. Just to paint a better visual. I started walking down US 120 (it is "US" 120 and not SR 120, right? I think that it's actually SR 120... but, I digress. As usual. :p)
As per our regular fights... we get into an argument, I walk off, she comes after me, I keep walking, she gets mad again, I keep walking, she breaks down, I walk for a little while longer, and then let her catch me, and we walk home. That's fine when it's 70F outside. It's not when it's 0F. :P We walk back, get under the covers to warm my now mostly numb extremities, and make up and break up (Seriously.), and wind up making up/out, and then we talk for a little while longer, and then she goes up to bed.
Saturday, I slept in until around 10.45/11.45, got up, and was watching her (who would I watch.. if you have to ask yourself that question, then I am not answering it..) so that my girlfriend could sleep in. She slept until around 14.25, and then she got up, came downstairs, and laid down with me in the TV room and we watched TV for a while. We waited for her mother to get home, the baby to take her nap and then get up again, and then she took a shower.
After that, she cleaned the upstairs bathroom, and, while she did, I began to clean out her bedroom. She gave the baby a bath, and her mother put her up to bed as we left. We got into a slight argument over finding my glasses (technically my brother's glasses, but, details.. :p), since I can't see six inches in front of me without them. We find them, they're under the couch, she gets her arm stuck, I lift up the couch, her arm is OK. I grab my computer/controller, we leave.
We go to the Linway Cinema in Goshen, and wind up watching Country Strong. Great movie, BTW. Highly recommend it! A girl gets to punch Tim McGraw in the face and then make out with him. :p *jealous* Anyways. After the movie, during which we cuddled quite a bit, we decided to go to Applebees, and had fun there as well. :) Finally, we wind up on our way to my house, I get home, and, well.. you know.. :o)
After all of the situations are resolved, and I am sitting her typing this.. I must say.. I am quite happy.. I am relaxed, somewhat content (as much as I can be in my current situation), and.. I'm just writing this to.. IDK. Is there something better (besides sleep) - that's legal - that I should be doing this late? I didn't think so either.
Quick note: If any of these dates and/or times are mistaken... forgive me. I'm writing this at 03.00 right before I go to sleep. I may not remember them exactly as they were, especially since all of the days just kind of blended together.

From an Agnostic's Personal Point of View: Religion and General Theology
So... just a short and sweet little preface.... and I'm probably being butthurt and nerdraging, but.. IDC. :P This is going to criticize every religious and theological idea known and unknown to man. So, if you can't take me talking about your religion, then why are you still reading? That's what I thought. Now, on to the article.
Note: Work in progress. I'll get to it when I get to it. Deal with it.

Re: Setting Your Gay Daughter Straight
My response to the link. This is just plain.. bah.. you'll see..
"You complete and total disregard for your family's and other families feeling is just plain appalling. As a Libertarian, I support your right to say such things. On a moral level, however, you are a disgusting person, and I wish to never read another one of these articles. The only way I can ever believe that this was published was not to be serious, but to poke fun at the very idiots who write such disgusting propaganda. I have a daughter. If she grows up to be a lesbian, then so be it. She can choose to live that lifestyle and I will damn proud to stand behind her decision. The fact that you can even begin to be serious about such a thing is beyond my moral and mental comprehension. I dare you to come up to my daughter and try and force your propaganda and sexist fueled ideas down her throat. Really. I implore you. Try it. Try it with any of the people that you have outraged. The Ladie's Monthly? Ya', right. You're nothing but a choked up closet tomboy yourself, and you owe it to your fellow homosexuals everywhere to take down this article. I know it's your right to free speech, but, personally.. this just feels like you're abusing it. Anyways, I am done raging. This article just goes to show just how many idiots there are in this world."
PS: I spared you all quite a few details. For the sake of certain backlash, I kept most of what I could possibly contain regarding any moral/mental/religious/political motivations or opinions regarding this, but my mind can only hold back so much. Please, post a reply to this post on here, and give your opinion on what I said. Do you agree? Disagree? Am I an idiot? I want honest truth and feedback here.

Late Night Confessional
As I head off to bed tonight - bed, not necessarily sleep - I have noticed something peculiar, and quite unusual... I am heading off tonight... extremely and almost, if not, completely and totally content... and that is not something that I - nor, I assume many others - have been afforded the luxury of in a VERY long time.
Maybe it's that my GF and I finally worked out our argument and are getting back together. Maybe it's that I am seeing my mother again after a year and a half. Maybe it's that November is finally starting to feel like November - weather-wise, I mean. I don't know if it is one, some, any, or none of these.
However, there is one thing that I can take pride in knowing for sure: Now that I can finally start to be content with what I have, I have the ability to move forward with my life, which is something that I had been struggling with recently.
I don't know.. maybe I'm just rambling on and on over nothing. Or maybe not. In any case.. it is now 04:25, and despite the fact that I do not have to go to school in the morning, 10 hours of sleep over a four day period is definitely not good personal upkeep.
So, I shall now sign off here... and I leave you all with this...

Have you broken any bones? If so, how?
I've cracked my skull more times than I can count, but, other than that, no broken bones.
Where'd you find out about FormSpring?
It's been so many years that I don't even remember anymore. :p
