To All My Friends



I'm not the only one going through some rough times right now. I guess it's kind of selfish complaining about all my meager problems all the time when there are lots of people working through bigger problems. I only wish that I could help people. I mean, I try, but sometimes it seems like that's all I can do.

If anyone ever wants to talk about anything, I'll listen.

My Christmas List

You know what? All I want for Christmas is for the people around me to enjoy themselves. But since there's no way in Hell that's going to work out all I want is a hug. Well, a series of hugs, really. I know not many people read this and I only see a few of you on a regular basis, but I what I want from you all is a hug the next time you see me. I'll also accept a cyber hug from my friends across great plains and oceans. ;)

Why I Should Not Have the Right to Get Married

Jason and I can not produce children, and thus Homo Sapiens will remain on the endangered species list and possibly die out by the end of this century.

Marriage is a sacred ritual and the reason we created the government is to ensure I don’t break any of the most popular God’s laws.

The newest version of the Holy Bible says I am an abomination and since it’s been translated between so many languages it must be right.

Christianity as a whole says I’m an abomination and I just happen to be living in a theocracy.

People think what I do with Jason with the door locked, the radio on, and the shades closed is disgusting.

Being gay, I sleep around as much as I’m not in Jason’s pants.

Marrying Jason would destroy what straight people think of their precious ceremony.

Society would never be able to adapt to Jason’s and my marriage.

Giving me the right to marry would be giving me a special right that everyone else has to fight for.

My employer would lose billions of dollars by extending my benefits to Jason.

Being in love is completely unnatural, except for those society chooses.

Being married to Jason would facilitate my raping of a hundred men.

Marrying Jason would help us recruit dozens of straight men into our cult of evil.

Does anyone else feel like this all the time?

What do I do in my Spare Time?

Publish juvenile jokes on the Internet.


For those who have never played Final Fantasy VII, this is a character named Tifa. She works in a bar and likes to help orphans in her spare time. She eventually helps her childhood crush save the world (no this one) while fighting dangerous enemies with her killer martial arts skills. Actually, she kind of sucks at fighting, but there's a point in the story where she replaces the main character so you really have to build her up from the start. But I digress; the point in her rack.



Okay, what is wrong with people? I make one little cleavage joke and everyone thinks I'm a brilliant. I got 8 comments within 5 minutes of posting this on my DeviantArt profile (after which I had no more views). I posted it as a bulletin on Myspace and people thought it was the most clever joke ever. I know it's out of control because Joe even submitted it to a Digg.

It's not clever! It's just cleavage!

The Damn Candle

The Candle


That's what I ended up getting my mom for her birthday. It's a candle that smells like pumpkin pie, then pecan pie, and then cranberry cobbler. I think it smells kind of like ass, but my mom's into this sort of thing. The good news is that it only cost $5. The bad news is that my mom insisted I pick up some 3M Command Strips for my other $5.

Delayed Effect

I think I have a problem with spending money appropriately. It all started two months ago when I got $100 for house sitting. I usually spend the entire amount on repaying my student loan - half right away and the other half the following week. But at that time I thought I deserved to spend a little something on myself, so I cashed $50 and spent the other $50 on my loan. I really didn't think it would be that big of a deal, but it was.

I was going to buy a wireless Dance Dance Revolution pad I saw at Movie Gallery for $15, since I broke mine. Instead I ended up buying dinner for Jason and myself at Wonton Palace in town. That only cost $12, but discouraged me from springing for the dance pad. Immediately after leaving dinner, I made Jason drive to the new coffee shop on Water Street for a cappuccino. I probably would have enjoyed it if I could have tasted it; I had a severe cold at the time and the cream didn't make things any better. That probably cost $6.

After that, every time Jason came over I would have him drive us to Marathon to get some coffee. I figured it would last a while because it's only $2.28 for the sizes Jason and I get. Then to finish the money off I vaguely recall buying around $8 worth of cookies at Save-a-Lot. The funny thing is that every time I would offer to buy Jason something he'd remind me that I should save my money for something I need. Of course I'd insist that I wanted to spend something on myself (and Jason) and that it was only $50.

November rolls around and my parents are short on cash. That wouldn't be a problem if I had stashed that money away the month before. But I figured I'd get little amounts of money from my parents and it would add up. The problem with that is that every time I'd get a little sum of money I'd go spend it on coffee and sweets. Once again, Jason constantly reminded me to save the money for something I needed. Looking back, I probably should have listened.

A few days ago my dad gave me $20 in case I needed anything. Since it was too late to get enough for my student loan bill, I figured I'd let it lapse a month (like that's some sort of solution or something) and get a haircut and new razor blades. I got the haircut the next day, but I the rest of the plan didn't go too well. I was feeling depressed the other day and had Jason drive us to Marathon. Jason did what he does, but I ignored him like always. Between then and the time we got there Jason was also feeling bad, so I bought a bag of his favorite chips (I like them too, but they're $3.69) along with the two coffees.

The razor blades I buy are $10 after a $2 off coupon. I had just enough to get them after the haircut. But getting out of the house and getting something to drink was obviously more important. Yesterday I took my aunt around and on the way home I stopped ad the Dry Dock. Since I couldn't afford the blades at that point, I was originally only going to get a 2 liter of Dr. Pepper. but my little cousin was with us, so I figured I'd get her something too. I ended up getting a $4 bag of popcorn, a juice, a 2 liter, and 4 mini Slim Jims for my aunt. I spent every last penny, and then some.

Now it's December. My mom's birthday is tomorrow, and I can't afford to buy her anything. I can't even go to the Dollar Store for some candles or something. I know she's going to be mad and/or hurt, but there's nothing I can do now because I foolishly spent all my money. With my now $100 student loan bill creeping up, I can't even afford to buy anything for Christmas. I don't even know if I'll be able to make the minimum payment. If I would have just stuck that money in my bank account, I wouldn't be in this mess and I could at least pretend to be happy about December.

So, in essence, a stupid decision I made in October allowed me to ruin Christmas again.
