Dirty Talk...
1: Ever dreamt of someone you really shouldn't have?
*example: a friend's boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband*
I had a dream about my friend's husband once. It was really nice...until I woke up. I always looked at him a bit weird after that. And if my dream is anything like reality...I envy my friend...cuz damn.
2: Have you ever dreamed about a celebrity? If so, who?
Oh gosh yes. I've had dreams about Chris Noth, David Anders, Michael Vartan, James Marsters, that kid from Dawson's Creek James-whats-his-name. I know there are more, I just can't remember them.
3: Have you ever been caught moaning another person's name in your sleep?
Yep...and how embarrassing. Luckily I haven't done this with Jason. Either that or he's not telling me that I have. *knocks on wood* I don't consider it cheating though. I mean, it's just a dream, it's not like you're ACTUALLY having sex with someone else. It's just your subconscious reacting to some sort of attraction. Totally innocent.
4: What person that you know in real life would you most like to dream about and why?
*thinks hard* Okay, one of my brother's good friends *coughs*Clay*coughs*. I wouldn't mind having a little dream or two about him. He used to be a little nerd, but over the years he's pumped up, started wearing contacts, and dude...hotness level is WAY up there. And he drives a truck, that's always hot. Oh and he always smells good. That's also a big turn-on.
5: What person that you know online would you most like to dream about and why?
*starts to blush* Well um...two people actually. I'm pretty sure that they both read this blog and I refuse to embarrass myself by naming them.
6: What's the best sex dream you've ever had? Details details.
I had a dream about someone I know online and hello...it was a doozy. We were swimming in a lake or something, I can't really recall, but I know it was a body of water next to some woods. We had somehow found our way to some rocks, almost like an alcove. My back was against the rocks and I was wearing this two piece string bikini. He was kissing my neck and started working his way down. Then he wrapped my legs around his waist so I could feel *coughs*...moving on. One thing led to another and before you know it, bikini was gone and we were having some hot, underwater sex. I woke up with a huge smile on my face. *grins* I'd love to have a rerun of that one! *fans self*
For the low low price of $.50 a minute I'll relay the entire dream. Get your checkbooks out boys. ;)
-----------------------
So, the whole Canadian post. I re-read it and yeah, I was harsh. I said some nasty things. I was rude. Do I feel bad for it? No.fucking.way. I can't apologize for something that I meant. I was mad, well I still am. I'll get over it. Until then, I'll remain pissy. I just couldn't NOT say something about it. That said...I hope my Canadians friends with won't think too harshly of me. You know that I love you all, but this really hit a nerve with me. I have to rant sometimes too. Just ignore me.

Hat tip to Michelle for the link to this quiz. I'm happy with what I got. ;)
"Son, a woman is a lot like a...a
refrigerator! They're about six feet tall, 300
pounds. They make ice, and, um...oh, wait a
minute. Actually, a woman is more like a beer.
They smell good, they look good, and you'd step
over your own mother just to get one. But you
can't stop at just one. You wanna drink another
woman!" You're the lusty, drunken, party
type. Booze, and members of the opposite sex
are pretty much all you think about. While your
party attitude may land you some fun and all,
it could also get you into some trouble. Not to
mention the fact that you annoy the hell out of
some people with your drunken desires.

I'm on a big "Cruel Intentions" kick this week. I've changed the song of the week to "Colorblind" by the Counting Crows, which was featured in the love scene of the movie.
I wish there were a way I could get this to play everytime someone visits the site. But that would get annoying quickly, wouldn't it? *nods*

Some People Need Smacked Eh
*DISCLAIMER*
This is NOT directed towards the friends I have in Canada. This is just for the fucktards. And yes...I'm a little pissed right now. Just love me after I blow off some steam.
I found the following piece of shit a few minutes ago and felt compelled to share it. I won't post the url to the site that I found it on, because they are a fellow member of "Layout Whore" and I want to respect their site. All I'm saying is dude...this is so very fucked up. People who think like this are sad individuals. And not to like talk bad about Canadians and all, because I have some friends that are Canadian, but this is why I'm losing patience with that fucking country and it's people. And they bitch about us being cocky. Ha! And before someone goes and posts "Not all of us feel that way" yes I'm aware of that. I'm also aware that a large majority of Canadians DO think this way, thus resulting in my building resentment towards the country. The word "Canada" is rapidly becoming a dirty word in the US of fucking A because of attitudes like the letter below. *in mocking voice* "Look at me, I'm Canada. I'm better than you. I can play hockey better than you. I can throw down more brew than you. We register our guns because we're tools to our stupid government. Military? We don't need no stinkin' military. We'll just come running to you when we're being invaded. I'm perfect...la dee dah." Oh I'm sorry, I'm being a bitch. It's that psycho American coming out in me. Must control that. Must pussify myself. Must be more Canadian-like eh.
Letter to America
On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry.
I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron.
He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.
I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.
I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.
I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's Very Nice.
I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but, we Feel your Pain.
I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you wanna have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.
And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism.
I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.
Thank you.

Finally Friday...Got My Motor Running For A Wild Weekend!
Friday Five Time:
1. When was the last time you cheated?
Um...on a person or on a test? Okay, I'll tackle both. I've never cheated per se. I flirt tons, but that's not cheating. As for on a test, I know this is going to sound like a huge lie, but I've NEVER cheated on one. No really, I never have. I can fail all by myself thank you very much.
2. When was the last time you stole?
I grabbed a pack of gum once when I worked at the Winn-Dixie in Claxton. It's $.50, they can kiss my ass. I do snatch pens from work on occasion, but they always find their way back somehow.
3. When was the last time you lied?
I haven't lied today...that I know of. The day's still young though.
4. When was the last time you broke or vandalized another's property?
Well I remember breaking a glass a few months ago. I got mad at Jason over something, I can't remember what, and I remember him walking out to the car to go to work. I decided "Oh hey, let's act all psycho bitch" and I chucked a glass at the car. The car wasn't hurt, but the glass broke into a million pieces. The look on Jason's face was worth the 20 minutes it took to clean it up.
5. When was the last time you hurt a loved one?
When me and Jason first got married we'd have these terrible arguements over really stupid shit. I remember once telling him that if I had wanted to marry a loser, I would've married *insert name of ex here*. He wouldn't talk to me for the longest. I felt really bad. :( Jason's not a loser, I'm just an anal bitch who spews shit when she's pissed. Hey, at least I can admit it damnit.

France is so full of shit. They can embrassez mon bout. *reaches back and smacks ass*
PARIS — Goodbye "e-mail," the French government says, and hello "courriel" -- the term that linguistically sensitive France is now using to refer to electronic mail in official documents.
The Culture Ministry (search) has announced a ban on the use of "e-mail" in all government ministries, documents, publications or Web sites, the latest step to stem an incursion of English words into the French lexicon.
The ministry's General Commission on Terminology and Neology (search) insists Internet surfers in France are broadly using the term "courrier electronique (search)" (electronic mail) instead of e-mail - a claim some industry experts dispute. "Courriel" is a fusion of the two words.
"Evocative, with a very French sound, the word 'courriel' is broadly used in the press and competes advantageously with the borrowed 'mail' in English," the commission has ruled.
The move to ban "e-mail" was announced last week after the decision was published in the official government register on June 20. Courriel is a term that has often been used in French-speaking Quebec, the commission said.
The 7-year-old commission has links to the Academie Francaise (search), the prestigious institution that has been one of the top opponents of allowing English terms to seep into French.
Some Internet industry experts say the decision is artificial and doesn't reflect reality.
"The word 'courriel' is not at all actively used," Marie-Christine Levet, president of French Internet service provider Club Internet, said Friday. "E-mail has sunk in to our values."
She said Club Internet wasn't changing the words it uses.
"Protecting the language is normal, but e-mail's so assimilated now that no one thinks of it as American," she said. "Courriel would just be a new word to launch."

E! Online reporting that Michael Moron will be appearing on "The Simpsons" this season. Why???????? They're trying to kill a perfectly good show! The man's vile, atrocious, and is the world's biggest fucking liar. They should be mocking him, not promoting him damnit. *disappointed sigh*

Well, the Sexy Six is now up. *claps* I'm all about themes and this week's questions revolve around those dirty dreams we have. Jaboobie sent in a question last week and I REALLY want to use it, so I'm asking for everyone to help me out here. The topic will be: Sex Boo-Boos and I need 5 questions about those injuries we get doing the dirty deed.
I don't think I need to remind those under 18 NOT to go to the site and use those questions. It's for adults...so ya'll skidaddle now y'hear?

I know that this entry sucked ass, but I'm tired and I really don't have a lot to blog about right now. I'll *try* to do a better one on Sunday. That's the day Jason leaves for three days for EVOC and Matthew goes to Grandma's house. I'll have all the time in the world to blog then.

Justifiable Kitten Deaths
Masturbating Lowers Prostate Cancer Risk - Study
LONDON (Reuters) - Frequent masturbation, particularly in the 20s, helps prevent prostate cancer later in life, according to new research.
Australian scientists have shown that the more men masturbate between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to develop the disease that kills more than half a million men each year.
They suspect that frequent ejaculation has a protective effect against the cancer because it prevents dangerous carcinogens from building up in the gland.
"The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them," Graham Giles, of the Cancer Council Victoria in Melbourne, told New Scientist magazine on Wednesday.
In a survey of 1,079 prostate cancer patients and 1,259 healthy men, Giles and his team discovered that men who ejaculated more than five times a week in their 20s were a third less likely to develop an aggressive form of the disease.
The findings contradict previous studies which suggested that having a variety of partners or frequent sexual activity could increase the risk of prostate cancer by 40 percent.
But Giles said the earlier research concentrated on intercourse, whereas his study focused on masturbation. Infections caused by sexual activity could account for the different findings.
"Men have many ways of using their prostate which don't involve women or other men," he added.
So um....*thinks*....yeah. Hrm. I don't know if encouraging the men-folk to spank the monkey five times a week is such a good idea. I don't get enough sex as it is!

Holy Shit!!!
Jason just called me with this bit of news. I'm SOOOOO looking forward to this! I'd give my left ovary for a chance to meet Bush when he comes to town. This is great for the state and for Savannah!!! Maybe I can talk Acidman and Velociman into sneaking in with me. We can do a Savannah Bloggers play by play of the whole shebang. :)
Sea Island Chosen As Site Of G-8 World Summit
Governor Sonny Perdue today praised the decision by President Bush to hold next year's Group of Eight, or G-8 Summit in Sea Island Georgia. The event, to be held next June will bring thousands of government officials, diplomats and journalists to coastal Georgia and generate more than $200 million for the state economy.
"I wish to thank President Bush for the great honor he has given our state and this community by choosing Sea Island to host this historic summit," Perdue said today. "It will be a very exciting time and we will be ready for it. This will be the most important international event that Georgia has hosted since the Centennial Olympic Games.
"For three days, the eyes of the world will be on us and as the spotlight shines on Georgia once again, we will demonstrate that Georgia hospitality is unmatched anywhere. The good folks in the Savannah area will host the best G-8 Summit on record setting a new benchmark," Perdue added.
The G-8 Summit brings together leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. This year's summit was held last month in Evian, France.
President Bush's parents, George and Barbara Bush, honeymooned on the private, five-mile-long resort island, which is about halfway between Savannah and Jacksonville, Florida.
What's The Big Deal?
I worked in country radio for almost 7 years as an announcer. I started out at the tender age of 16 at Kicks Country in Bluefield, West Virginia. When I graduated and moved to Savannah in 1996, I was hired on at what was then 94.1 WCHY, which later turned radio nazi when Clear Channel bought it out and was renamed Cat Country 94, but that's a different rant altogether. I've seen my share of country music scandals over the years and it never fails to amaze me how something so tiny as a little skin can make such a huge fuss. Country music fans, in general, do NOT like change. They like their women buttoned-up, their men with cowboy hats, and their videos clean as a whistle. When something new and daring comes along, controversy ensues.
For instance, when Martina McBride released "Independence Day" in 1994, stations refused to play it, and in a few instances her video was banned. Why? Because of the song/video content. The song is about a woman who kills her husband after being beat one too many times. The video shows the wife striking a match and the house burning to the ground. Same goes for Garth Brook's song/video "The Thunder Rolls", which shows a cheating husband in the arms of his mistress, a battered wife waiting at home, and the husband being shot by the wife when he becomes violent. And when Shania Twain exploded onto the country scene in 1994 with her "Any Man of Mine" video, Nashville freaked out when she dared to show *gasp* her belly-button. All of this "shocking behavior" gives me quite the headache.
Fight it as they may, Nashville has slowly become more "popish" over the last few years. Steel guitars and fiddles were replaced by pop beats and remixes. Shania proved that you could get away with showing some skin, so Faith Hill and LeAnn Rimes followed suit soon after. The men lost their cowboy hats and began wearing tight leather jeans and sporting tight shirts. All of this behavior shouldn't surprise the industry seeing that a few decades earlier Loretta Lynn sang about taking "The Pill" and Tammy Wynette stood by her man. Controversy is nothing new to the industry. If anything, it helps bring new fans to the genre and results in more sales. So why all the bitching?
Now Nashville and country music fans have their panties in a wad about the new Rascal Flatt's video "I Melt". Okay, well you all need to get over it. This is 2003. People have sex. People walk around naked on tv all the time. This is NOTHING new people, so why are you all so shocked? The people bitching about this are the same ones watching "Bold and the Beautiful" and "Days of Our Lives", which are nothing short of cheesy B-movie lite porn. As for those fussing about "How dare they! What if my child saw this???". Well isn't it your responsibility NOT to let your child watch it? Country music isn't for children, it's for adults. What's the difference between your child watching this video and you letting them watch Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera? Not a damn thing, that's what. If anything, Britney and Christina are ten times more controversial than ANY country video you'll see...EVER. And just so you all know, I found NOTHING controversial about the Rascal Flatts video at all. A little nudity never hurt me or you, and I'm not afraid to admit that I find it somewhat enjoyable to see the naked male form on television or otherwise. The female form doesn't bother me either. I am, of course, female so why would seeing another female naked on tv shock me? It's not like they're procreating or anything, it's just a little butt.
So my fellow country music fans, pull those granny panties out of the crack of your ass, stop yer bitchin', and lighten the hell up.
I watched the video and have taken some screencaps for your enjoyment. Real Player was being a bitch and the stream was a bit funky, so I didn't get as many as I had wanted. I'll do better later. There is some partial nudity, so children go away.
"I Melt" Screencaps *Be patient. Let it load.*
Rascall Flatts Discuss Their Racy Video
The members of Rascal Flatts didn’t expect an uproar over the brief nudity in their latest music video, “I Melt.”
“I gotta be honest, I think we’re a little surprised that there seems to be this air of controversy,” bassist Jay DeMarcus told CMT News in the band’s first TV interview about the spot. “We just thought it was a great, steamy, sexy video. We didn’t realize that people were gonna be up in arms about it the way they have.”
The video -- shot by Nashville directors Robert Deaton and George Flanigen over two days in Miami’s vibrant South Beach area -- features a cleverly lit nude woman in the shower and a brief glimpse of guitarist Joe Don Rooney’s bare backside. (Rooney was the one elected to roll around naked with a model because he’s the only unattached member of the group.)
“I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was uncomfortable a little bit, because I’ve never done that before,” Rooney said. “I just thought, you know, ‘Why not do it? It might be fun. It might be interesting.’”
Since its June 28 debut on CMT, the video has made headlines in national publications like USA Today and has drawn the ire of some viewers and fans, many of whom say it’s inappropriate for family viewing. One fan on CMT.com’s Rascal Flatts message board wrote, “My daughter is 11 years old, and I do have qualms about her watching the video. … I just think these scenes were not needed for such a great song!” Another wrote, “If Joe Don wants to show off his body, then pose for an adult magazine, not something my 7-year-old can see in passing.”

Where's the Party?
How well do you know your political parties? Are you aware that there are over 20 in the US? Do you know the difference between the World Socialists and the Pot Party? Click the link below to check out the other parties trying to shape our fine country. Some of them are interesting...some of them are scary...some of them are fucked up...but whatever. I love knowing that I live in a country where even the nutjob, pot-smoking, liber-nazi-enviro monkies are free to create crazy politics. Fun fun fun.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The administration's explanation of how questionable intelligence about Iraq's alleged nuclear weapons programs made it into President Bush's State of the Union address leaves numerous questions unanswered, two Democratic presidential candidates said Sunday.
CIA Director George Tenet took responsibility Friday for allowing the following statement to remain in Bush's January 28 address: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."
In March, International Atomic Energy Agency said the intelligence that Iraq had tried to buy 500 tons of uranium oxide, or yellowcake, from Niger was based on forged documents.
The White House later admitted the reference should not have been included in the speech, although Britain continues to stand behind the allegation.
Will someone please tell the Demo-rats to pull their heads out of their asses and look REALLY close as to who REALLY lied here. It wasn't Bush who fucked up here, it was Tenet. He should've investigated this information further BEFORE he brought it to the President. I also think it's a bit childish and a little desperate on the Demo-rat's part to make this into such a big deal. Is this REALLY the only thing they have to bitch about? They're really grasping for anything to make Bush look bad, and well it's a bit sad. Lovely coming from the same people who thought that the Republicans blew the whole Clinton scandal out of proportion. I wish they would just move on and start worrying about real problems and stop pointing their fingers at Bush. IT WASN'T HIS FUCKING FAULT. I think Condi sums it up with this:
"It is unfortunate that this one sentence, these 16 words, remained in the State of the Union, but this in no way has any effect on the president's larger case about Iraqi efforts to reconstitute the nuclear program, and most importantly in the bigger picture of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
-----------------------
Here's an interesting article regarding the upcoming election in 2004 and where the President stands.
CNN: Speed bumps and potholes in the GOP road to 2004:
WASHINGTON (Creators Syndicate) -- George W. Bush's political popularity has never been a product of his leadership in, or mastery of, economic and domestic matters.
In fact, voters have consistently ranked Bush between average and mediocre in those historically important areas.
No, this president's principal political appeal has come -- especially since September 11, 2001 -- from a consistent majority of voters seeing him as "having the strong leadership qualities needed to be president " and for his being "honest and straightforward." One re-election theme for 2004: in tough times, a strong leader and a straight-shooter.
But here is the respected Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, just back from a visit to war-torn Iraq, publicly telling President Bush and his administration to " level" with the American people about the commitment in time, money and sacrifice it will take to rebuild that troubled country.
Lugar added: "This idea that we will be in just as long as we need to and 'not a day more' -- we've got to get over that rhetoric! It is rubbish! We're going to be there a long time."
Just to set the record straight, on February 26, 2003, a black-tie dinner at the American Enterprise Institute was the first to hear from a high-ranking government official what would become the official mantra for any postwar occupation by the United States, "We will remain in Iraq as long as necessary and not a day more."
The official who first uttered that phrase -- which Lugar now condemns as " rubbish" -- was President George W. Bush. When a loyal Republican leader in Congress like Dick Lugar summons his Republican president to " level" with the country about the price and the pain of building a new Iraq, we remember that straight-shooters always " level."
Lugar might even agree with Democratic campaign strategist Bob Shrum's provocative observation that "Iraq is this nation's first conflict where the administration's postwar plan was an ideological presupposition."
Shrum, of course, is referring to the rosy scenarios spun by so many pro-war neo-conservatives, who offered visions of flowers being strewn in the path of Americans in uniform by a grateful citizenry.
But wait, candidate George W. Bush is already well on his way to a record-breaking campaign chest of $ 200 million. He will raise more than all the Democratic candidates combined.

Jason and myself had a very interesting conversation regarding evolution and where God comes into play. Jason believes that we all evolved from primates and is quite skeptical in the whole "God made us as we are" story. I, on the other hand, do NOT believe in evolution from primates and am QUITE sure that God created all things in this universe. The reason I bring this up is because it's been bothering me. I admit that I'm not the best Catholic/Christian in the world, I have my flaws and sins like everyone else. But I do believe that you cannot stand beside God in the end if you question him. I don't believe that man evolved from primates. I DO NOT believe that we were all once eating ticks out of each other's heads and chimping about with hairy asses. I just can't believe that. I do believe that we have "evolved" intellectually. I don't know if this is making sense to the rest of you or if you understand what the hell I'm trying to say or why I'm saying it, but I had to post something about it. What are your views on evolution and the role that God plays in the creation of mankind?
On a side note, I realized the extent of my loating for Democrats when I accused them of creating the theory of evolution to brainwash the weak. I know...I'm sick. I need help.

I apologize for not having the Sexy Six up on Saturday, but yesterday was VERY busy. I'll have it up next weekend, I promise.

Banzai is the funniest shit I've seen in a long time. Yeah, it's a little cheesy, but it's very interesting, especially for us smart folks. *taps head* You've got to use your brains with this show, which means that I love it. Jason got bored fairly quickly with it and changed the channel to HBO to watch "The Sopranos". *rolls eyes* Some people just can't take the heat yo.
-----------------------
So far I've had a really great weekend. I had Saturday and today off and when we weren't sleeping, we kept pretty busy doing this and that. We spent Saturday running around Savannah to pick up some items for Jason for school. He has to qualify for night shooting this week and we had to go get some Glock mags and a mag pouch. The traffic in town was a bitch and I spent most of the time fanning myself because of the heat. It was 98 degrees by noon and I was sweating like a hooker on Sunday. Yes, we have air conditioning in our car, but I like fresh air so most of the time I keep my windows down. So after getting the gun items, we went to Jason's parent's housefor a low country boil. The biggest part of his family was there, as well as some family friends, so it was a large crowd. Bryant came down from North Carolina with his sister, Mary Margaret, who I adore. She's a retired teacher of 31 years and I thought she was going to eat Matthew alive. Matt-Matt spent most of the day dragging Brittany outside for hide and seek and such. All in all, we had a great time. There were a few times when politics were brought up and everyone had their little "discussions" on Bush, the election, the war, education, and whatnot. You know me, if there's politics, I'm usually in the thick of it. There weren't any arguements per se, but I did want to wring Jason's brother's neck a couple of times when he starting talking about Republicans and how terrible they are. It's kind of funny though, because he was going on and on about how they suck and how they're against the war, and I was thinking "Um...yeah...that's the Democrats you crazy person." *rolls eyes* I think he should really know the difference on the parties before he starts to joust with moi. So yeah...the low country boil was interesting. I ate more than humanly possible.
You can view more pics of my day in Savannah here.
Now most of you probably have NO IDEA what a low country boil is, so I'll explain. A low country boil is a cajun "all you can eat" style cook-out where you eat with your fingers . You cook large shrimp, crab, carrots, potatoes, sausage, onions, and corn together in a big boiler. You spice it up with some pepper or you favorite cajun seasoning. Then you dump it all on a clean white sheet, cover it up to keep the bugs out, then dig in and eat up. It's VERY GOOD! We had cole slaw, hush puppies, popsicles, and key lime pie as well. I was a little fussy because there were no mixed drinks, but oh well. Maybe next time I can get lushed at a family get together.
LOW COUNTRY BOIL
8 (4 inch) Polish sausages
8 carrots
16 new red potatoes
8 ears yellow corn
8 sm. onions
4 lbs. shrimp

What Kind Of Idiot Are You?

Well that's just the sweetest thing I've ever read.

My bestest friend in the world, Anne, called me Friday night at work. I was SOOO happy to hear from her. I was caught up on the latest going-ons in Montcalm West-by-Gosh-Virginia, and I told her the latest happenings on this side of the Mason-Dixon. After I hung up with her I cried my eyeballs out. I really miss my friends back home and thinking about all the things we've done together in the past made me want to see them even more. I really love and miss them all. I'm planning on going to Bluefield in October for my nephew's birth, so I'm going to try to get all of my old chums together for dinner or something. *hugs to Anne, Heather, and Crystal* I love you girls!

Okay, so Sex and the City is coming on, so I need to jet. Hope you all had a great weekend.

New Layout
It's 3:51 AM and I'm tired as hell, so this is going to be a VERY SHORT.
As you can see, I have a new layout. *claps* For those who know me and are shocked to see that skank J.Ho, please close your mouths and let me explain. No, I'm not crazy and I have NOT suddenly become like "her biggest fan like omg" or anything. I just love pin-ups and she has some really nice ones in the latest edition of Esquire. So don't call out the little men in the white suits just yet...I'm still good ole Gennie. I still hate her fucking guts. And anyways...I kinda like it. :)
I'll blog longer later, I promise. As for now I need to go get my sleep on.
