sometimes...

I'm like, "Blech! Conspicuous consumption makes me sick!"
Other times, I think there is nothing as effective as retail therapy.

sorry if this applies to you, but...

I get so annoyed when people have numbers in their email address. For example, caitlin4670. How is anyone supposed to remember that!? It's just an arbitrary number. And if you write it down sloppily, and the 4 looks like a 9, how am I supposed to logically decipher what it could be? However, if you just use letters, and write sloppily, and the "a" looks like an "o", then I could say to myself, "hmm is that coitlin, or caitlin? Logical tells me caitlin."

In your defense, I understand why you use numbers, the email address you wanted was taken. But please put in some effort and come up with one that isn't so popular, and if you must use numbers limit it to one. Thank you.

self-image

Sometimes when I see myself smiling in a mirror, I think I look like Rocko from Rocko's modern life. I think it's the rounded teeth.

i have dandruff. really really bad dandruff* and i'm too cheap to go buy head and shoulders cause i get free shampoo from forest at nuskin.

*a recent development

I'm correcting my profanities by explaining their origin.

I'm frustrated with my life and I'm frustrated that I'm frustrated because I have such a great life!

Sh*t!

waa waaa

I'm kind of getting tired of babies

on second thought

My last post reminded me of how much I wish we had anonymous posting.

father forgive me

I don't know how much longer I can/want to call myself/be Mormon.

There's really no better way to make yourself feel friendless than having a birthday party that hardly anyone comes to.

But I was very thankful to those who came! It was a good day!

i think i'm afraid to do the things i really want to do. because i've never embraced hard, and you can't eat failure.

Forest's friends are so disrespectful to women.

The other week one of his friends said something like...."Man, that girl is SO stupid but she's really hot and so are all of her friends, so we keep them around....blah, blah, big boobs, blah, blah nice ass..."

So I said...

"Yeah, I remember a couple summers ago I was making out with all these really hot guys with really big dicks...I mean REALLY BIG...but they were so stupid and would just say the dumbest things...but I mean, they had nice dicks!"

Kind of outrageous. But I was SO fed up! I guess I'd like to think if I turned it around and objectified a boy that maybe they would take their head's out of their asses and see what it's like to feel disrespected for being a girl.

....Forest just kind of looked at me wide eyed.

i like kesha too. but i like a lot of bad things openly: country music, teen fiction, fantasty/sci-fi, the olsen twins, sadomasochism. jk on that last one, but i am sympathetic.

SORRY GUYS!

I don't know how I configured this nonsense wrong. Sorry about all those posts! I wondered where they were going...

What's the worst thing you ever did? What's the best thing you ever did?

I have done a few things that I would consider to be pretty awful. I'm not sure what you mean by "worst" but I will take it to mean hurtful. Growing up I was really really mean to my youngest sister. That was pretty awful. I was also really mean to people in general, and I was a really bad girlfriend to almost everyone I ever dated except for my first boyfriend (who my sister had a crush on- another bad thing) and Max, who I ended up marrying.
In high school I told an unfortunate looking boy a few years older than me that he was, "the ugliest person I have ever met". Even years later I feel really really bad about that.
One time I left my mom at the airport, on purpose. I may have also told her I never wanted to speak to her again...that was pretty awful too.
The best thing I ever did hasn't happened yet, I'm working on it though.

Ask me anything

I have monsters for hometeachers, how do I get rid of them?they call and come over way more than once a month and they don't even bring pie.Plus they made me say the prayer last time after they didn't laugh when I told them my cat wanted to say the prayer

Max and I once had a hometeacher like this. Notice I said, A HOMETEACHER. He always came by himself and never brought us sweets either, though in all fairness they probably wouldn't have been vegan anyway. Anyway, he was pretty weird, though I wouldn't call him a monster. He asked it he could dedicate our home for us...we said no. There are a few options for you, 1. STOP ANSWERING THE PHONE, 2. Next time you tell them your cat wants to say the prayer- insist on it, they will probably think you are crazy and a) never come back or b) tell the bishop you need hometeachers who are better equipped to handle your kind of crazy, 3. tell them they can only come over if they bring pie, 4. Tell them you have converted to Santeria and will no longer be needing hometeachers

Ask me anything

do you think animals like you more because they can sense you won't eat them?

What a funny question. Maybe? It depends on what kinds of animals you're talking about. Most people don't eat cats or dogs so it is pretty unlikely they would suspect anyone of eating them. Just saying.

Ask me anything

i read the news today, oh boy....

I don't want to define my happiness through the economic success of the country I live in. I feel like a lot of people do. This worries me.

Am I understanding your answer to the ke$ha question correctly to mean that Max likes Ke$ha but is embarrassed about it? Could you please say more about this?

You are correct. Max likes Ke$ha, but would probably never tell you. It all started with an All Things Considered episode when the commentators were talking about this pop song the appeal of which baffled one of them. I guess Max took to the internet, watched the video a few times, watched a few others and was hooked. I'm not exactly sure what is so embarrassing about liking her (I like TMBG so really it could be worse). He also likes La Roux- who I also really dislike. Go figure.

Ask me anything

office secrets!

everyone in my office is gone so i decided to help myself to one more piece of carrot cake!

every teacher's worst nightmare

I have practically crippling anxiety triggered by writing papers. It takes me FOREVER to get anything done, so it's always late. Of course I never tell my teachers this because it sounds like a cop-out.

Needless to say, I'm pretty much a terrible student.
