Yikes Perkins! I am glad things weren't worse.

Happy Birthday Deena !

Everyone here seems to have a cold, and I feel sick just being here.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Hi!

I just read almost 600 posts in natter. Why? Because I have a writing project due this evening, of course, and so that seemed like a good idea. I've also showered, done laundry, cleaned the kitty box, taken out the garbage, and had two breakfasts. I'm considering doing dishes. And I actually like this project. I don't know what's wrong with me.

ETA: I've also taken a nap, groomed the cats, and did some online shopping. Also, I scheduled a haircut. WHY CAN'T I MAKE MYSELF WRITE??

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hi Alibelle! Tell you what, I'll try to go write too and then you'll have company.

But before I go, happy birthday Deena!

Hi, Burrell! Wouldn't it be more fun, though, if you could magically make all the writing done already?

Plus, I'm trying to talk myself out of wanting pancakes. I seriously have no idea what my damage is. Although I suppose it is lunchtime now. And considering one of my breakfasts was a granola bar and a glass of milk, and the other one was leftover black beans and rice, maybe it makes sense that I'm hungry again.

Happy Birthday, Deena!!

What would be more fun would be to have you over here drinking iced tea with me.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

So at the insistence of a good friend I started a facebook page.

In a moment of "stupidity" I searched my ex-husbands name and he has an account. It's bringing up a lot of emotion. He was a jerk that just walked out and left a note.

Part of me wants to try to "add" him just so I can finally tell him off. Stupid idea, I know. I guess I just want the last word

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Gadget Girl, I can't even imagine a world where that could possibly end well. Resist.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

GG, don't do it. If only for the following reason:

The other week, I got a friend request from a Most Unpleasant Ex. And I got such amazing pleasure from the thought that he was pathetically trying to reestablish some sort of friendship 10 years later, while I laughed lustily at the wormitude and hit "ignore". Do you really want him to think you're the pathetic one in the reverse situation?

True. In the end I don't want to go to that dark place. It was just the reality of actually seeing a photo of him and the thought that finally I could have my say. He isn't worth it.

I do not want to be seen as pathetic. I've worked too hard to move past him and to attain things he only dreamed of. He isn't worth my time and hasn't been for a very long time.

Thanks for talking me down.
