A meme of the TMI persuasion

Stolen from Erik who stole it from Alexander, I present a TMI. I promise it isn't terribly painful for those of you who go all ewww over straight sex.

“Adult Questions - Don’t Be a Pussy” meme. I’m not going to tag anyone on this, but feel free to steal it and provide your own answers.

1. Is there anyone on your blogroll you would have sex with?
That I can neither confirm nor deny. I think a more pertinent question is would anyone on my blog roll have sex with me?

3. Have you ever had to pull over on the side of the road to puke?
Not that I recall

gone but not gone and back again

I read a book. A good book. A very good book. You should read it, too.

That's where I've been for the last day or two. Enmeshed in How Long Has This Been Going On? It's a novel, and a compelling set of stories at that. 

When I get swept up in a good story, or an adventure, or a personal crisis, or whatever captures my attention I tend to focus on it. This is one of those books that pulled me in and didn't let me go. I hardly slept, barely ate, and didn't bathe the whole time I read the thing. That shower last night felt really good! :) Maybe it isn't so good to hyper-focus on stuff like that. Other things get neglected. I have that kind of passion. But I'm done with the book now and ready for some of life again. 

Right before I started How Long... I read a history of the Stonewall riots. It also was a very good book, but not nearly as compelling a read as the novel. It took me nearly a month to get through that one, just because I kept coming over here to blog and stuff. My point, though, is that it's good to read up on the social sea change of the 60s era to get a good perspective of what the culture was like for gays in the mid 20th century compared to what it's like today. The novel How Long... covers that time span. I feel as though I had a good background knowledge to appreciate the novel. I have been wanting to read up on Stonewall anyhow, since I really didn't know too much about it. 

Now I'm ready to get to the next book in my HUGE stack of books I want to read. :)

No! It'll never pass!

I know it's cliche, but I really like The Birdcage. When I'm having one of my dark depressive episodes, C and I play out this scene as Albert and Agadore.

Java: C, I'm in such pain!

C: I know honey, it's gonna pass.

Java: No! It'll never pass!

And when I'm in the middle of it, it seems as though it will never pass, that I will always be in this tar pit. 

But guess what? It passes! Yes, I do feel better. Friday and Saturday were bad. Yesterday I didn't do much at all. Today I feel much better. The children are in school now. I hope I can maintain this level of sanity once they get home.

I mentioned a couple of posts ago that our van had broken down. Yesterday Superman and I went out to where it was abandoned on the side of the highway to try to start it up again. No go. So we called AAA. I've been a memeber of AAA since 1984. Since we have almost always had old clunker vehicles, AAA has been a very good investment for us. We had the van towed to the shop. The whole ordeal was rather pleasant, actually. Superman and I sat in the pick-up, talking and teasing each other while we waited for the tow truck. It was a bright and breezy day, warm in the sun with a cool wind. It was fun spending time with my husband.

So the van is in the shop. I'm afraid to hear from the mechanic. But I'm not going to worry about it now.

The darkness lifts, I can see hope and possibilities and even a bit of happiness again. This won't last, either. I'll fall into despair again. But it's all temporary. If I can keep this perspective as I work to develope healthier attitudes I can continue to function. It's all good.

Since it is a quiz specifically for men I suppose my results don't really mean anything. OK, since it is a meaningless quiz I suppose my results don't mean anything. But it's fun. :)

You Are 35% Stereotypically Gay

 

You definitely have some stereotypically gay traits. You might set off a person's gaydar now and then. If you are not actually gay, you could be mistaken for gay from time to time. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It has been a difficult weekend. Diva and Sproing have been busy exhibiting the worst in pre-adolescent behavior. I am crazy again.

If you've been paying close attention for a while, you may notice that occasionally my sanity quits working. It usually lasts 3-7 days. I strongly suspect hormones. And most will agree that there is a decent amount of stress in my life. Well, I seem to be going through another episode of insanity. 

Not able to concentrate well

Crying a lot

Sleeping a lot and then not sleeping for long stretches

Not able to form coherent sentences

Stuttering 

Getting inordinately angry, especially at the children

That's been my weekend, interspersed with bursts of creativity and deep philosophical thought. The background drone through all this is heavy despair from the omnipresence of evil in the world, and its effect on the innocents. 

There is a long list of mundane disturbances to my peace, but most of them I've mentioned before. The only really new thing is that tonight the van broke down when Superman was on his way home from taking Light back to school. Thankfully he was almost to our county when the van died. It's on the side of the highway about 1 or 1.5 miles on the other side of the lake. So that's another thing we get to deal with tomorrow. Otherwise I don't want to talk about it. 

And now I'm going back to bed. Maybe tomorrow I will be more sane. 

Know thine enemy

I'm trying not to get political on the blog here, mainly because it is not an area in which I feel very comfortable. However, today I got an email from a very conservative "Christian" friend. The other day she sent me an email, something about how wonderful Sarah Palin is. I have resisted responding to anything she sends me in hopes of discouranging her from sending that crap. But that one pushed me too far so I replied. I simply said that Palin scares me and I am not going to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. 

My inbox this morning contained the following.

I heard what you said about Palin, and you maybe right but any vote that is not for them is a vote for Obama.  And a vote for Obama is a vote for the Anti-Christ to be ushered in.  Just the thought of that scares me because I know what the word of God says concerning what will happen when he does.  And if I can vote against it, and pray that God has Mercy on us for 4 more years I will. I will agree that Im not sure McCain and Palin are the best choice as it is made to appear.  But I do fear what the other choice represents.

I pray that God leads you in your choice for this presidency.

In His Love

(X)

Yes, dear, I will be voting for Obama. Besides which, Treasury Secretary Paulson is the Antichirst. Have you not recognized him?

No, I'm not going to reply to this email. At this point there is nothing either of us can say to the other that will be effective. Otherwise I'm invoking Thumper's rule.*

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test...

Tri-Lamb Material

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in Nerd and Dork, earning you the coveted title of: Tri-Lamb Material.

The classic, "80's" nerd, you are what most people think of when they think "nerd," largely due to 80's movies like Revenge of the Nerds and TV shows like Head of the Class. You're exceptionally bright and smart, and partly because of that have never quite fit in with your peers or social groups. Perhaps you've realized, or will someday, that it is possible to retain all of the things that you like about being brilliant and still make peace with the social cliques around you. Or maybe you won't--it's really not necessary. As the brothers of Lambda Lambda Lambda discovered, you're fine just the way you are and can take pride in that. I mean, who wants to be like Ogre, right!?

Congratulations!

On a somewhat ironic note, I've never seen that movie.

I just had a thought that led to a question (not atypical for me)

Why is a Prince Albert called a Prince Albert? Does it have anything to do with Prince Albert?

I identify maybe too closely

Have I ever shown you an xkcd comic here? I may have. Sometimes they are really good. 

Superman showed me this one today.

If you go to the xkcd site (the first link) I recommend you click the "random" link. I recommend doing this when there aren't any other urgent tasks you need to accomplish.
