Today on Dr. Phil
sarahmc:
Dr. Phil interviews a woman who did not fight for physical custody of her kids after her divorce. The topic of today’s show is something about The Reality of Motherhood and the good Dr. is going to give viewers his 4 Questions Every Woman Should Ask Herself Before She Has Children. Because some women aren’t cut out for it (which is true). But basically everyone is all over this one...
Soooooo, instead of making plans for NewYear’s ahead of time (like all reasonable, forward-thinking people) i waited and then called Laëtitia to hang out and she told me that she was busy. Too bad, so sad. But i don’t want to call anyone else because i’m not in the mood to par-tay like crazy or entertain people. I’ll i want to do is watch movies.

I'M SO EXCITED
My sister Lenore is coming over today!!! I haven’t seen her in what feels like forever. She’ll be here in less than three hours. I can’t wait. I’ma go to the airport to pick her up.
Also, i woke up thinking that my weird extended family was going to come over today. But my dad just came in and told me that they’re staying home instead of coming here. Which means that...

Got back from the Christmas party early tonight...
I should’ve taken a picture of my outfit while i still had it on, ‘cuz that shit was slammin’.
Nothing pumps me up for a party like ghettolicious rap music.
“Me: Where are your pants? Why don’t you have pants?
Pants-less sister: I...”
– With that, i was beaten.
The Mickey Rourke pictures on the dash remind...

We did this same thing in my health class this year. I had already hated that health teacher, but this exercise made me livid. When it came time to ask the boys of the class what they wanted in the ideal woman (and it was ‘woman’ on the sheet for boys and ‘man’ on the sheet for girls, which also pissed me off), the boys in my class actually said things like...
I’m curling up in my bed with my lovely comforter and an old book. Gonna fall asleep easy tonight.
Today was the last day of school before Winter...
Woooooooooo! I’M ON HOLIDAY.

The bookstore is my favorite place, ever.
I love it. Just spent a couple hours in one. And now that i’ve nearly given up on all fiction targeted to “young adults,” i’m much more likely to find books i like. As i found out today, when- after only ten minutes- i already had four books in my hands. And they were all picks for me.
The bookstore is where i’ve gotten all of my Christmas presents, so far (with the...

Why is there hair all over my keyboard?
What’s up with that?
“Next year [for Senior Superlatives] they’re going to “erect” a...”
– J., yes, that same jerk from my Spanish class.
Someone just told me i was their favorite friend. This is a good feeling.
Oh, Britney Murphy! Poor girl. She looked so sickly thin. Clueless is in my top five movie favorites. I do think that was her best movie. Before she was too engrossed in the Hollywood obsession with appearance/perfection.
Since we’re postponing the Christmas celebration a day so that we can open presents with Lenore and be one big, picturesque family, my dad wants to find a way to make Christmas (the day) special. As if Christmas, the celebration of Jesus’ birth, wasn’t taken from the Roman festival of Saturnalia, which actually began on December 17th- not the 25th- so why not make that day...
I've spent at least an hour in my basement.
I came up with nine different things (three movies, five books, and one Q&A flip thing), none of them what i went in search of.
I’ve been wrapping presents all morning. It’s break time!
Lemme start reading. I think i want to begin Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, if i can find it. I’ve never read it, but i’ve always wanted to. So, it’s either Alice in Wonderland, or maybe Alice 19th (the manga series that i re-discovered in my basement), or maybe i should look for that other book. I...
I bought Laëtitia two presents for x-mas: a book and a soda. The soda is some weird Japanese thing i found in the manga section of Borders. It’s pineapple-flavored, and i know she likes pineapple, so i hope she likes this thing, too. I never really know what to get people for Christmas. I usually pick out action figures or buy candy. This is one of the few times i haven’t done that for...
“How many nickels are in a dollar again?”
– S., the dumbest person i’ve ever met. I’d like to say that this isn’t a real quote- that i made it up- but she says things like this every day.
Dozens sympathise with sex offender →

Dozens of people queued inside a Co Kerry courthouse yesterday to shake hands and sympathise with a man who was jailed for five years for sexually assaulting a woman in Listowel.
If you have a minute, could you please send a quick email of support to the victim in this case? Kerry Rape Crisis Centre is going to pass on any emails sent...
I’ve been brainstorming all day for what to get my two seesters. I still am clueless when it comes to Lenore, but for my other sister, i came up with something. Her Christmas Wish List includes only about five things, all of them ridiculously expensive, among them: an x-box live adapter or something and a new car. Obviously, i cannot afford to get her these things. So, i decided to draw her...
My lunch period comes at 10:30 in the morning. That’s way too early. So instead of going to lunch, i just head straight to the library to use the computer. Needless to say, i spend the whole period on TheFBomb and Harpyness (which, luckily, are not blocked yet by my administration for being “web logs/ personal pages” as Feministing and IBlameThePatriarchy are). Then, around...
I think i am getting a cold, you guys. This is no fun. I feel all achy and icky.
But, on the plus side, i did get excused from the dinner table because of my sickly appearance. So it’s not all bad.
My friend T. was telling me a story today. It was confidential, so (even though no one here knows who i’m talking about) i won’t spill any details. The gist of it was that some asshole was bragging about having sex with his girlfriend after a month. Which is annoying of him and totally private and definitely not something T. cared about in any way. Then the ass thought he’d be...
FYI to the tumblrverse: i am not getting a cat.
OMG YES I’M NETFLIXING ALL SORTS OF SHIT TO MY COMPUTER THE QUALITY IS AMAZING.
My dad bought me BurgerKing for dinner tonight because my mom’s got some meeting or something. So i sit down at the table and start tucking it in right away. Then my dad asks, “did you say grace?” And i lie and say yes, but what i’m thinking is “oh crap.”
With this one exchange, my hopes have been shattered. I had tried to believe that our trips to Sunday mass...
“I thought I was an adult, but apparently I’m just a woman.”
– From Spark, one of the commenters on the Harpyness article by sarahmc i mentioned earlier.
Oh, Dockers.
sarahmc:
Apparently they ran their campaign by women to make sure it’s not sexist. Amazingly, it’s still sexist.
When i read the link to the Harpyness article, i could not stop gasping at every line of their campaign and mumbling “this is awful, this is awful” to myself as i sat- horrified that this exists- at my desk. Dockers’ new ads for their “Pleated Patriarchy...
News! aaand also What’sATumblr trivia!
Here’s the news: i’m learning Gaelic! My momma got a CD guide from the library, which we’re just checking out while we decide whether or not to go ahead and spring for the Rosetta Stone. I started listening to it yesterday. So far i know how to say: “hello,” “do you understand?” and “you are...
I cut my bangs myself this morning. Now they are much too short. I’m upset, but it’s my fault, so i’m trying not to be angry. All i can do to fix this is pin back my hair for a week or two. This is the last time i cut my hair myself.
Oh, shit, Christmas is soon. Fuck, i hope my hair grows back in time for all the holiday pictures that are bound to happen.
Procrastinating!
I should stop doing it.
But, i don’t wanna write the paper. I don’t care about social intelligence (at least not right now). School is lame.
I hate seeing commercials for booze. Why do they always target men in their mid-twenties (or men who which they were in their mid-twenties)? It’s offensive. Not only men drink vodka.
