Hello there potential-spoilsport!

A disturbing google search led someone here. Someone who, in all likelihood, knows me. Knows my family. Or IS my family.

I knew this day would come. I never went out of my way to protect my identity on here. A good, detailed google search by someone who knows me, would probably lead them here. And the pics I’ve posted are never blurred or boxed over. If you found the site and think you know me, you probably do.

I knew that the day would come when SOMEONE would stumble across this little site. I would scan the google searchs, looking for a telling search.

But now…it might have happen.

So if you are reading this, and you KNOW me in “real” life, this post is for you.

Hello. Welcome to my brain. These are my thoughts and feelings. Some boring. Some interesting. Some…well…explicit. This site was originally meant to be an online diary only for me. I never in a million years thought anyone would ever read it. But see all those people on my sidebar? Most of those people are friends I only know through our blogs.

Crazy, isn’t it?

But I digress.

You may stay for a while, poke around in my archives, do what you will. But I will give you the same warning I have given all my “real world” friends that know about this site: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Here is the ONE PLACE I do not censor myself. Here I can post about ANYTHING. This site has been better therapy for me than any doctor or pastor could give. It has changed my life infinately for the better. Getting some of the poison OUT OF MY BRAIN has kept me sane this past year and a half.

And if you do or say ANYTHING to ruin that for me, I swear to God you will pay for it. I don’t know how…but you will. I NEED THIS SITE, CAN YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND THAT?

So here are the rules:

1. like I said above: read at your own risk. I am not accountable for any images now seared into the back of your brain.

2. SHUT YER TRAP! While this blog isn’t neccessarily a secret, I don’t really feel like having it broadcast amongst all my friends and family. So read, enjoy, but DON’T forward it to your entire address book.

3. don’t tell me. seriously. If you think for a moment that my knowledge of YOUR knowledge would make me or you uncomfortable, OR might give me pause in what I write in here from now on…THEN I DON’T WANT TO KNOW! IF YOU ARE MY MOTHER, FOR GOD’S SAKE PLEASE DON’T LET ON THAT YOU’VE READ THIS!

One day I might be at peace with her reading this. I gain inspiration from Dooce - who freely talks about poop and sex, in the same post, while her family reads on in horror. I love that.

So those are the rules I ask…no…BEG you to follow. Enjoy my brain, but don’t disturb it - my brain needs PEACE!

definition of “inappropriate”

We’re lying on the bed, Kev facing forward, towards the TV, I’m facing Kev. He’s got my favorite toy and using it QUITE effectively on me.

On the TV, $40 a day with Rachel Ray.

Things are just about to get REALLY good…when…

Kev: ohhh, I think I figured it out. She [Rachel Ray] looks JUST like my first girlfriend.

Me: …. …. ….?

Kev: What?

Me: could you FIND more INAPPROPRIATE TIME TO BLURT THAT OUT?

Kev: Ummm…

Me: hehehe…hahahahahaaaa….

Kev: hehe…hehe….

Me: hahahahaHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!

Kev: [still working the toy] HAHAHAHAHAAA!

Me: HAHAHHAAAAAAA ohh…wait…HAHAHAHAAAAAAA…stop! HAHAHAAAAAAAA

Kev: [not stopping] what?

Me: HAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAAASTOPPPPPPPPPPPHAHAAAAA!

Kev: [stopping] I was just messing with you, you know.

Me: riiiiight. I’m so blogging this.

Kev: it was a JOKE! you can’t blog this! everyone will think I’m a jerk!

Me: oh yeah, I’m blogging it. Now get back to work.

quick! order the balloons!

It’s the American Library Associations national banned book week!

“But ESC! I’ve already read a bunch of banned books! How else can I celebrate such a glorious week???”

I’m SO GLAD YOU ASKED!

what a crap day

Spent probably a total of an hour this morning trying to purchase new car insurance. The quote on the woman’s computer was not matching up with the quote online - in fact it was over $100 MORE.

I emphasized to her the importance of figuring it out SOON, as my car insurance expires wednesday. She agreed to send me an email when it it all got straightened out.

Turns out that while GA law will allow insurance companies to take into account no fault accidents when determining whether to OFFER insurance, they can’t use them to determine rate. THANK YOU, STATE OF GEORGIA! If that asshole bicyclist had cost me another $137, I would have HUNT HIM DOWN AND RIPPED OUT HIS COLD YET PHYSICALLY FIT, STILL BEATING HEART!

Then for some reason, the computer in the lab would not let me log on. Got the IT guy to come down…and all he did was reboot and it worked. Dammit, I usually think of that FIRST! what’s WRONG with me???

Then later, the power supply I always use for my overnight gels went all kerfluey on me.

GAH! TODAY SUCKED!

*sigh*

nothing that a biiiig bowl of spicy pasta with italian turkey sausage and a big glass of wine won’t cure.

big bowl of spicy pasta

GOSH!

Bow before my awesomeness.Today was a LOOONG ass day. Church this morning was a bit morbidly funny. The family from NO that will be moving in came to the service for the first time (right now all 13 of them are living at a Super 8 - ugh! we hope to finish getting the space fixed up very soon!). This was fine, except for two things:

The sermon was on the old testament text about God telling Moses to thwack a rock with his staff to get water so the Israelites will stop bitching (paraphrasing, of course).

Our anthem was a funky gospel arrangement called “wade in the water.”

All of which would have been perfectly cool…IF SOME OF THE PEOPLE AT THE SERVICE HADN’T JUST FLED HORRIBLE FLOODING AND HAD EVERYTHING THEY OWNED SWEPT AWAY BY…FUCKING WATER!

Oh well…it’s not like we PLANNED it that way….

Then a quick lunch at Surin of Thailand, the same people who own the noodle bowl place I’m so fond of. But instead of noodles I got this yummy appetizer of chunks of beef (chunks! but not fish) and lots of red onions in a spicy thick sauce that came with cabbage leaves to use to make wraps. Mmmmmmm…so good.

Then over to the Baptist church for a rehearsal with other choirs from the other churces in the area for next week’s World Communion service.

Then back to my church for a quick tour of the space for the evacuees.

Then to work.

Then to Walgreens.

and now…HOME!
