But Duddy... I Want It!

So during my recovery period I've been watching a lot of T.V. (even more than usual) and I just need to discuss some things. For example... "My Super Sweet 16", "Daddy's Little Girl", "Rich Girls" etc. OH MY GOD!!! I don't know if any of you have actually watched one of these shows, but I have not (at least not for more than 5 minutes...After all there is only so much I can take). Why would I want to? Why would anyone want to? What is fun about watching spoiled brats bitch, moan, and whine for a bunch of stuff that they don't even appreciate anyway? I really don't get it. Even if I was a teenager I wouldn't want to see some other 16 year old have a birthday party that costs half a million dollars when mine is going to be in my backyard. "Rich Girls"... Basically a show about watching two socialites shop all day. Thrilling. Unless you're shopping for something you're sending to me... fuck off. I don't care. Of course these shows didn't come out of nowhere. "The Simple Life" and "Gasitneau Girls" layed the foundation for all these great teenage money obsessed "shows" in the first place. To be fair, I can say that in my life people have told me that I'm "spoiled". However, let's talk about degrees here. I'm an only child, so I've been spoiled in the sense that growing up, whatever money my Mom had to spend on Christmas or whatever didn't have to be split up between more than one child. So, naturally that meant that I got more things than all my friends with siblings did. Now, let's talk about some examples from Oprah the other day. She had an episode about spoiled children and what to do to stop it. There was a lady on the show who had a 4 year old daughter. 4... Remember that... 4 years old. This mother had spent THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of dollars on dolls and other toys for her daughter. The little girl had real diamone earrings, a Coach bag ( a fucking Coach bag for Christ's sake...!) and a real cell phone to put in it (for all those calls to Strawberry Shortcake she needs to make), in addition she gets a manicure and pedicure once a week. That is retarded! This mom and daughter were not the only guests on the show of course, there were all sorts of parents with all sorts of spoiled demanding children on the show. (In the kid's defense, of course it's not their fault, it's the parent's fault for giving in.) I just think that all of this is connected. We've got all these shows on t.v. That are telling kids that money is what matters. AAAGH!!! It makes me crazy. They are in fact the WORST shows on t.v. (note: MTV is responsible for both My Super Sweet 16 and Rich Girls. Nice MTV. Remember when you're network used to be punk-rock. When it used to be about music, and teens being who they were, and not about teaching girls how to be like Paris Hilton? I guess it's just all of us in our 30's that remember those days. Too bad.)

Whew. K, I'm done with that now. As for t.v. that I have been enjoying, the past week has had some good stuff. For example; I watched the Paintball Championships for the first time (didn't know it went that far frankly.) Good Times! It was so much fun to watch, but my favorite part has to be the judges on the field who run around and inspect the players bodies as they continue to play. LOL... so funny. I recommend it. Also, this week I was able to re-watch "The Allnighter", circa 1987 (staring Susanna Hoffs ala The Bangles. Yep that's right.) It was SO GREAT to get to see it again after all these years. I LOVED that movie when it came out. lol. It's so cheesy and silly, yet so so fun. Also I've been enjoying The Last Comic Standing. I love stand-up and a show that makes you laugh is always good in my opinion. Last Friday night Mom, Jake and I went to go see Josh Blue at Comedy Works. He's one of the comics on Last Comic Standing, and he also happens to live in Denver. He was incredible! Seriously, if you get the chance to see him live you really should, you won't be dissapointed. Otherwise you can always check out LCS on t.v. and see a little bit of his act on that. Good times.

And I'm spent. Check out My Poll Place, I've added some more questions. If you've got an idea on a question I should add let me know. Until next time.... Love ya, Mean it, Do!

Just a quickie!

Hi everyone. As you can see, my nooks and crannys are under some renovation. :D One change is that the old poll strip is gone. Instead I have a link in my sidebar to My Poll Place, it's new and improved. Now I can have several polls going at once. Only one vote per person now, however, new polls will be added regularly, so be sure to check back. Hope you all enjoy. Also, the results of the Best French Fry poll are in. Not a big shock... McDonalds wins! They just barely beat out Good Times though, which did shock me a little. Thanks McDonalds for providing little golden sticks of heaven. lol... more tomorrow. Night everyone.

The Devil Wears Prada

Quick note: You've got one more day on the French Fry Poll. Up next? Ann Coulter: Anti-Christ or just a skanky-fishy-bitch-wad?

Jesus Wood and Other Must Haves!

So, today I decided to go to EBay because it's been awhile, and I just wanted to see what I could find. WOW! There are some crazy fucked up people selling crazy fucked up shit on EBay. I feel you should check them out, for humors sake. Here we go.

Let's start out with a little something for the perverts out there.

1. Here you can buy a 3x5 index card that says you get to have one of the infamous 73 virgins upon your death. Cost? $10!! That's right, $10 for an index card. No bids at the moment... Shocking.

2. Here you can buy used dryer sheets from the Playboy Mansion. A. Nasty. B. Yeah right. However, when you go there the guy has the whole story about how the priceless dryer sheets came to be in his possession. It's gross. Cost? 49.99. Again, no bids currently. Thank God.

3. Here a "naughty" girl is auctioning off a "secret" that she's just dying to tell you. Yep. You're bidding on a SECRET. Now what makes this one different than the first two, is that this one has bids. Lots of them. 22 to be exact. 22 PERVERTS HAVE BID TO HEAR THIS SKANKS SECRET! Currently the bid is up to ........drumroll.....$71!!! wow.


Moving on. Of course there are always the "Jesus" items.

1. Here is where you can buy a piece of wood some little boy found that has Jesus' face on it. There are currently 4 bids, and the current cost is $4.00. So, act now if you're interested. : D

2. My personal favorite is here. This is where you can buy, for the current price of $4.99 (there is one bidder at the moment... ?!) an unused pregnancy test that has the face of Jesus in the urine well. That's right. A pee stick with the face of Christ. Now, personally I don't see the face, at all. However, the seller "guarantees" that you'll see it when you get it, or you get your money back. What a deal! I highly recommend you check this out. LOL!


And last, but not least, here are some random ones I found.

1. Here you can find a Frosted Flake with a skull face on it. Cost, $4.00. Although, I can say, I see the skull in it.

2. Here you can buy a small blob... Oh excuse me... I mean a piece of "art" made out of multi-colored mini marshmallows. My favorite part of this one is all in the description. The marshmallows aren't glued together, just stuck together. They will be shipped that way, and of course they are not responsible for any damage to the "art" in shipping. So, basically, you're bidding $0.99 (opening price... No bids yet? hmm.) for a box of hard marshmallows. However, they also point out that these flavored, colored mini marshmallows are really hard to find in some areas. LOL

3. Last, but not least: Here you can buy a small dog stuffed animal for the current price of $3.95. There are currently 4 other bidders you'll have to contend with though, so good luck. Now what is funny about this one is the seller and why he is selling this nasty little dog. You really need to check it out for the full story, but long story short, he has nasty scramble teeth and wants to get them fixed. So, he's trying to get $1100.00! Yep. He's hoping to sell a mini stuffed animal for $1100.00. He's included a picture of his teeth on the site so we know he's not just making it all up. Also, the winning bidder will receive a picture of his teeth, if wanted, and a copy of his dentist bill after the work is done. In addition, if for some reason his bill comes in lower than $1100.00, the winning bidder will get a refund of the difference. Because "I'm NOT looking to make any money here. I just want my teeth fixed." Now, remember, currently the bid is at $3.95 and there are only 5 days left in the auction. So, he only needs another $1096.05. I think he may have to come up with a plan B. For real, check it out. Good times.


Also, I noticed this trend of auctioning off "mystery" boxes. One guy was selling a box for $200 and "promised" there would be at least $2000 worth of stuff in it (the items were up to his choosing.) Yeah, ok. The stupid thing though is that people bid on it. Dick Heads! They deserve to be broke. So, next time you're bored, I recommend the "weird Stuff" section on eBay. All the nut jobs peddle their "goods" there.

A little less crazy, but still not allowed to use the oven alone.

Hello everyone. Thought I'd take advantage of my awake moment and just update everyone. I'm feeling a lot better now, although I'm still not 100%. I'm sleeping a lot, the meds make me drowsy, and I've still got some short term memory loss. My appetite isn't very big yet, although it also gets better everyday. Tomorrow I have a follow up doctor appt. With my family doctor, and then next week I'll have a follow up appt with my brain specialist from the hospital. So far the hardest part of all of this is not being able to drive... One of my favorite things to do. AAAGH! How am I going to make it another 2 1/2 months?! It's also really weird to have people telling you all this stuff you said and did that you can't remember at all. Hey, guess what though? Today I had a memory breakthrough. Mom and I went to lunch and on the way home we passed the Urgent Care Center she took me to first (they took me by ambulance to the hospital... None of which I remember.) Anyway, she asked me if I knew what that place was. I said yes that I remember her telling me about it, but I couldn't remember it, then BAM! Suddenly I could remember pulling into the parking lot there and entering the building. That's all that I remembered, but maybe that's a sign that I'll get some more memories back. Although I'm good with not remembering the CAT-Scan and the MRI, the spinal tap, etc. I just would like to remember the conversations I had with people. I feel bad that so many people came out to see me and all they got was a crazy woman. Sorry about that. ; D Thanks again to everyone for all their love and concern.

As an unrelated side note, saw X3 last night. ::sigh:: They managed to ruin the entire movie in the last 20 minutes. WTF!!?? They better change their mind and do another one because they owe us a better end. Seriously!

For Jake, Justin, Christoph, Todd and my Uncle Er

I have the best friends ever. Today my Grandmother took me and my mother out to lunch and during they were both telling me how my friends came to the hospital every single day that I was there to see me. As I've mentioned before, I've suffered some short term memory loss, so most of the visits I don't remember, but they told me about all of them. It made me cry because I'm so touched that this group of guys cares that much about me. Sometimes it's easy to say that you don't know where you stand with guys sometimes, it's not like they're girls who run around telling each other how much they love each other, guys don't do that. That is exactly what they showed me this week. Thank you so much you guys. It means more to me than you know that you were there for me and my family. I love you guys too. :D

Also, for my Uncle Er who came to visit me too: I love you so much and I know it wasn't easy for you to come. It meant so much that you were there. I love you.

"You look a lot better than you did the other day on the floor."

That is a quote from one of my nurses today in the hospital where I have been since Monday. It begins like this.....

So Monday I slept like pratically all day. So my Mom was pissed so she wakes me up and starts expressing her displeasure and asking me why I had slept all day. When I tried to answer her, my words were all gibberish. I seriously couldn't talk, and I was all dizzy. So, after trying over & over to talk my Mom and not being able to, she got really scared so she told me to get dressed and called emergency who said that she needed to bring me into the hospital. That is the last thing I remember for awhile. My memory goes in and out the first couple of days. So, I'm at the hospital and I meet Dr. McNut (true story...perfect name too he's a real life McDreamy ladies.). He's my brain specialist so he's interviewing me. During this interview I told him the following. I'm 15 (SO not true), we were in California (I was shocked that they were showing Colorado shows in California and told him that...So embarrassing), got the date and year wrong, then told him I was born in 1984 (again, not true.), and my personal favorite is that I told him that my last name was Birth Control. I kid you not. LMAO! So, then I don't remember a lot (including a cat-scan, a spinal tap, an EEG, a suppository, and myself having a seizure. Yeah, that was just like the icing.) I came to on Tuesday and have basically just been monitored in the Intensive Care Unit, poked to the point both my arms are bruised, and hooked to an IV 24 hours. What the evetuanlly were able to explain to me was that I had a virus in my brain (aka viral meningitis SP?) and they basically had do a culture test on what type the virus was. Either a herpes strain, or not herpes. No going home until the culture test was done because if I have it and don't get treated, you die. So, not a whole lot of fun really. In the end, as you can see, I'm home and I'm not telling you that my last name is now Birth Control. Although, If I ever change mine... That's an option. The test was negative, no brain herpes. So, I was released today and got some vicadin for the pain, and some other to help finish killing what I do have. Whew... Pretty scary week, but today was a great fucking day. It's just great to be able to think again. Hearing all that stuff I was was funny, but fucking scary too. Mom and I are officially calling it my Ozzy. She said I was acting just like him which makes sense, it's how I felt.

As for the hospital, I was at Littleton Lutheran Adventist and I was scared being at a hospital for my first visit since birth, and apparently I was "difficult" during those no memory phases, but they treated me so good. Everyone was so attentive and funny and polite... I could go on and on. So I just want to send out a whole-hearted Thank You to everyone that literally helped save my life this week.
