My cat trying to look elegant

( Well would ya'll look behind this here cut! )

I just won a battle...a small one to be sure, but a very important one. What war was I fighting you ask? The war against demons...demons created by my late and unmissed sperm donor. When I was eight he forced me to eat an entire ten inch cast iron skillet

full of fried green tomatoes.

Needless to say I was violently ill not only from the forced feeding, but from the vile words and painful blows that went along with the food. I was sick for three days and got bellowed at for that as well. Well, thirty-right years later I decided to beat this one silly demon and I made myself a few slices of fried green tomatoes and you know what? I liked them, ate each and every little slice with a strange sort of glee. I had won a battle against a demon and happily flipped off the not so dearly departed bastard that handed me that demon among many, many others. So fuck you old man...I won one.

This is an old photo of my mama and older brother before I was born. Yes the head is missing from the male, I refuse to show his face since all I ever got from him was pain and hatred and yes...he is my sperm donor.

I wanted to show my beautiful mother and handsome brother off to the world. Both are gone, but never forgotten.

You Are a Geek

You love to learn, especially when it's about technology. No subject is too obscure for you. You enjoy tinkering with things to see how they work. You aren't a traditional learner either... you need to hack around to figure things out. You may have the brains to be a super rich Silicon Valley geek, but you're truly content to have your own favorite projects, subjects, and toys. For you, being a geek is not about the glory. It's about a love of digging deep and truly understanding the world.

Now that takes talent...I cut my pinkie on a butter knife. *Stares at small cut*

( Who comments the most on this journal? ) How sad is that...all this time and so few comments LOL

I speak up and damned loudly too.

The 20 Rules Of Halloween!

1. When it appears that you have killed the monster, NEVER check to see if it's really dead.

2. Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.

3. Do not search the basement, especially if the power has gone out.

4. If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they should not know, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. However, it will probably take several rounds to kill them, so be prepared. This also applies to kids who speak with somebody else's voice.

5. When you have the benefit of numbers, NEVER pair off and go alone.

6. As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.

7. Never stand in, on, or above a grave, tomb, or crypt. This would apply to any other house of the dead as well.

8. If you're searching for something which caused a loud noise and find out that it's just the cat, GET THE HELL OUT!

9. If appliances start operating by themselves, do not check for short circuits; just get out.

10. Do not take ANYTHING from the dead.

11. If you find a town which looks deserted, there's probably a good reason for it. Don't stop and look around.

12. Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know what you're doing.

13. If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at east twice, more if you are female. Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the monster is merely shambling along, it's still moving fast enough to catch up with you.

14. If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, kill them immediately.

15. Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Nilbog (you're in trouble if you recognize this one), anywhere in Texas where chainsaws are sold, the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.

16. If your car runs out of gas at night on a lonely road, do not go to he nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help. If you think that it is strange you ran out of gas because you thought you had most of a tank, shoot yourself instead. You are going to die anyway, and most likely be eaten.

17. Beware of strangers bearing tools. For example: chainsaws, staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any devices made from deceased companions.

18. If you find that your house is built upon a cemetery, now is the time to move in with the in-laws. This also applies to houses that had previous inhabitants who went mad or committed suicide or died in some horrible fashion, or had inhabitants who performed satanic practices.

19. Dress appropriately. When investigating a noise downstairs in an old house, women should not wear a flimsy negligee. And carry a flashlight, not a candle.

20. Do not mention the names of demons around open flames, as these can flare suddenly. Be especially careful of fireplaces in this regard.

I consider a hotel without room service 'roughing' it so I want the luxury hotel please.

Yes, because then there is no fallout, no punishment for their misdeeds. They can then walk around their unsuspecting spouse and laugh at them silently, knowing they are doing something that could not only devestate them, but bring them diseases and they are in the dark about it. Sex and the 'I know something you don't know' feeling...lovely for them isn't it? I think those that cheat are lower than a snake's belly and as nasty as a maggot covered dead carcass.

Not really...I'm a diabetic, so it's not the calories I worry over as much as the fat and carbs.

Believer, it's terribly arrogant of us to assume we are the only intelliegent life in all of the universes.

On this day in 1966, "Star Trek" premiered on NBC-TV. We should all celebrate the beginning of a never ending mission. *Does happy geek dance*

Bed, lots of fluffy pillows, tomato soup and either hot tea or hot chocolate. Oh and my laptop to keep my poor drugged mind occupied during bouts of being awake.

Not on purpose, I grew up dirt poor and to ensure my little sisters had food, mom and I would go without, sometimes for days.
