Say Anything.
'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.
Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort
This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.
So, say anything.
Suck it, fucko. Enjoy that job you badmouthed that gives you no power over people.
:monkey
I wish people were dead.
I was informed this weekend that his friend is pregnant by and 8th grade boy. The girl is thrilled...they are going to live with his parents is what she is telling everyone. She discussed how the first time hurt, but after that how she loved sex with a friend's daughter.
I read this and got goosebumps. GAWD I cannot imagine going home from work and having my Jen come up to me and say "hey mom, guess what??" And actually be happy about it!! :omg "They are going to live with his parents"... YEAH RIGHT like I'd let my 13 year old go live somewhere else... wow. This really hit me; I just can't imagine being a grandmother at my age. :faint
My girlie had herself a little party on Friday night, a "Horror Movie Night". Ya, we had like 8 horror movies there, guess how many we watched? One. And noone even really paid any attention to it, except when gross parts came, and the kid who brought the movie would say "watch this!" lol
Anyway, I took a bunch of pictures, and a few of them came out like this:
Scary Picture
And I have no explanation as to why! It's really creepy, I thought it was totally appropriate ;) Some of them were kinda blurred, too, and they looked even creepier! For some reason, this one reminded me of the Blair Witch Project movie, or whatever that's called...
I think you're an incredible parent to have fun with your daughter and her friends. You must have the patience of Mother Theresa lol.
I don't know if I'm incredible or not, but I guess my main motivation is thinking that if they're having lots of fun while I'm around, then they won't need to sneak around and see what other "fun" they can get into. I guess it stems from when I was a teenager; we lived in a big apartment complex, and the things we used to do now make MY hair stand on end. I never did any of the drinking and other foolishness with ONE exception... and ended up with a black eye. It was a great lesson to learn, even if school was a bit embarrassing the next day.
Not to mention, this way I can keep my beady eyes on Jen and her guy. They cuddle on the couch when I'm in the room but they know where the line is; I've made it EXCEEDINGLY clear ;)
Wierd that these kids feel comfortable talking to me about anything. Really, I've conversed about anything with them from sex to suicide; serious, involved conversations that include me saying "Well, I don't know what your parents would say but in MY opinion" and give them a basic overview and then just monitor the conversation from there. I think it's a healthy outlet, and gives me lots of information about Jen's friends. :)
There's two empty urinals. Why are you standing in front of the only unused toilet?
You clog up every toilet you use when you do #2. EAT SOME FUCKING FIBER ALREADY
LOL
3 times in 3 weeks the toilets in the womens' bathroom have overflowed - always by the same woman - and she repeatedly clogs one or another (I've seen her hanging the signs - my desk is almost directly in line with the bathroom hall).
The others are self-explanatory :)
