So I'm Going Home, To the Place Where I Belong
I keep waiting for my official retard certificate to arrive in the mail.
Seriously...
... its coming ...
I somehow managed to trip over a ceiling fan this morning and bleed all over my bathroom floor. It was pure genius, I'm telling you. At fucking 6 am.
My first instinct looking at the wound was stitches. I later convinced myself that I had overreacted and a clean cut like that could heal itself with the help of a butterfly closure.
My first panic was getting blood on the carpet. My second was at keeping the swelling down so that my toe rings didn't have to be cut off. I have priorities here people.
I landed in urgent care after work because as much as I didn't want to admit it, I needed a tetanus shot. I was almost 2 yrs overdue as it was. Of course they wanted to look at the wound. And of course ... what had done such a great job of knitting back together came gaping open and bleeding everywhere in the hallway as I took the bandage off.
Fuck.
I am now the proud wearer of stitches. Just in time for a long weekend.
I'm telling you ... that card is on its way. It is in the mail.

Wow... Stay inside and don't go anywhere for the rest of the weekend. You could be dangerous.

I think we're related.
Oh, I got my card last week - Federal Express.
Elevate and drink lots of pain-killing fluids.
;o)

Oh crap. Sorry. Been there. Done that. Had the T shirt but it got blood on it so I threw it out.
I'd be tripping over crap at 6am too.

Put your foot up and have a drink. Enjoy the weekend and life will be excellent. *grin*
This also means you can make "big eyes" at people and get them to feel sorry for you and they will then bring you more drinks... meaning you can sit and imbibe and never have to move. Are you having fun yet?

Dude. Totally something I would do.
I got my retard card in the mail long ago. I carry it proudly, next to my driver's license.
(Insert joke here).

Don't Act Like An Angel, You're Falling Again
I. Fucking. Hate. Hippies.
But I love free stuff, so sometimes I put up with them ... as long as their stuff doesn't smell like patchouli ... And I joined the lovely little yahoo group that Buckethead introduced me to, Freecycle. Exactly how it sounds ... you give your stuff away and other people take it. (Better known as other people give their stuff away and I take it)
There are only a couple catches to this nifty system:
1. They break it down regionally - which can severely fuck people like me that live on the border of two regions the hippy-gods arbitrarily decided would be good divisions (see rules 2&3 for an explanation of the fucking)
2. Crossposting in multiple areas is NOT ALLOWED! (Apparently it wastes gas and causes too much competition for items ... WTF???)
3. The moderators for the DC area take their jobs WAAAAAAY too seriously.
I ran into this problem when I first moved in and had nothing to offer anyone else but needed things like ... oh I don't know ... a lamp? I was chastised for posting a request without a prior offer. Bitches...
Current problem with this hippy moderator ... giving away a loveseat. This moderator continues to remove my post to give away a loveseat. She initially removed it and chastised me for crossposting in two areas ... and then immediately allowed posting of it again. (Huh?) Now she has removed my posts because I did not wait the appropriate period of time to post on the second list.
JESUS CHRIST WOMAN! IF I HAVE TO POST IT TWICE ON BOTH LISTS HOW MUCH INTEREST IN THIS DAMN LOVESEAT DO YOU THINK THERE IS?????
So I sent her one of my patent-pending notes about how her rule following was not only petty but in direct competition to her hippy loving goals of environmental safety ... this loveseat is off to the landfill ...
Hippy Bitch

And you're surprised about this coming from some Hippie Chick that doesn't understand economics?
I know you're not surprised. Crazy that since you are GIVING something away that you can't post in two areas...crazy.

Here is her reason for why I cannot post in two groups, "please think of the cost in terms of time, gas, and air pollution before you post to a group a long distance away"
A LONG DISTANCE AWAY? Some people in my "home" group drive farther to my house than those in the next group over.
RETARDS!!

Makes me embarrassed to call myself a hippie.
Do you have Craig's list there? Try that... and as far a patchouli goes? If I ever accidentally swallow battery acid, arsenic, prescription drugs and chlorine bleach (hey, it
could happen), forget 911 or ipecac, just wave a dirty t-shirt with patchouli on it under my nose.
I'll miraculously vomit and recover.
Here... this is for you PC: Where do you hide your money when you have a hippie as a house guest?
UNDER THE SOAP!
hee.

Freecycle chapped my ass, so I use Craigslist. Give it a shot...

I am sorry to have caused Cat so much agony and suffering. If I'm going to be causing agony and suffering, I'd really rather do it on purpose.
My wife was the one who got us into Freecycle, and it has been a wonder for us - we got: a pair of jump boots for me, a refrigerator, a freezer, a washer, a dyer, a sofa bed, a chest, a big bag of maps, and an assortment of random useful items.
Taking advantage of stupid hippies makes me happy. Though we did offer up some items, and made one single mom very happy by giving her a huge bag of an ex-roommates' magic cards.
I should have sold those on eBay, though.

Over here we have the GumTree (dot co dot uk) which was set up by the Aussie Ex-Pats over here but has been gradually taken over by the New Zealanders, South Africans and of course the hanger-on Brits like myself.
Since it's an Aussie invention, there is none of the "cross posting" rule crap - it's back to basics. As in, you advertise it, people buy it/take it.
Simple :-)

I want no part of this one... seriously. None whatsoever.

Don't look like "clodhoppers" to me. Still, if the shoe fits ;-)

Do they come in a size 6.5? If so, I'll join you if you're brave enough. Sure as hell beats the tiaras from this year, right?
RSM ~ why not??

And the link to your Amazon wish list is where?

Girl....I'd say you have balls, but those would be found on the heels of those shoes, and you ain't got them yet.
Still, if the shoe fits........

Now that I have to see. *grin*

Sorry HFS - they only come in whole sizes. You could take a chance that they might fit ...
They come in other colors as well, but I felt pink was most appropriate.
The Amazon link has been added to the sidebar ;-)

Ya know, the heel looks a bit like...er...um, a special kind of "beads"
if you catch my drift...

Dorothy ~ I'm tracking with ya! That was my first thought upon hearing her description, even without seeing the picture!
Cat ~ I wonder if they run big or small? If they run big, I'll go for a 6. If small, I'll grab a 6.
Teresa ~ What size shoe do you wear??
Posted by: HomefrontSix at May 10, 2007 01:14 AM (4Es1w)

Wait, I'm not following. What do you mean, "special beads"? Exactly?
Posted by: lex at May 10, 2007 12:02 PM (xGZ+b)

Me... wear those? Oh that won't happen. LOL. I KNOW my feet would be way to fat for those shoes. Not to mention - I'd fall right off those heels without even having a drink. heh.
Posted by: Teresa at May 10, 2007 12:53 PM (gsbs5)

Lex ~ do you need a link for an explanation? Because, you know...I have no shame. Heh.
