Ten-ish Things I Wish I Could Say to People:


1. It is a very good thing that you did not have children.

2. If you'd just listen to me sometimes, or even other people sometimes, maybe you wouldn't end up in all the bullcrap you end up in. You may be older, but your experience is way limited.

3. My heart cracks open and my mind clouds with insurmountable doubt whenever I detect the slightest hint of disapproval from you. Its taken me years to learn to trust myself as much as I trust you.

4. I have never once regretted the time we spent together.

5. Get off your duff and do something with your life!!! The gravy train will derail one day, and it won't be pretty...I love you too much to see you live with nothing.

6. I really don't like how your teeth look, I wish you'd take better care of them.

7. Stop being a stupid prat. You've lost the respect of all your old friends and your new friends don't respect you at all.

8. It feels like we have known each other since the beginning of time. I wish like hell you didn't have such burdens as you do, and bless you for shouldering them without complaint and with such compassion. You could teach saints patience.

9. Give me the chance. I can do it. I know i can. You won't regret it. I promise.

10. STOP EATING MY FLOWER BULBS DAMMIT!!!! (if I could speak squirrel..)



Nine things about myself:

1. I perform insanely well under the pressure of deadlines.

2. I am a size 14, and I secretly want to force feed porkchops to starving models. (like a pork dealer- enabling in a GOOD way ^_^ )

3. I am addicted to coffee. Seriously.

4. I would rather go see a new place than buy a new pair of shoes for myself.

5. Motherhood has made me into someone I never expected to become, and despite its frustrations, I have never been more content- and conversely have never known such keen fear.

6. I firmly believe that experience is more valuable than knowledge, but I also believe that "all knowledge is worth having".

7. I love debating politics, religion, philosophy, etc...but I am as equally entertained by fart jokes, crass humor, and the people on shows like MXC and Wipeout

8. I am a night person.

9. I love to sing.
