Honestly
Just some random very honest comments from moi:
1) I hate sports. I really think people who are obsessed with certain sports teams are freaks. I mean REALLY OBSESSED. WTF? How do you personally identify so much with a bunch of people playing a GAME?
2) I especially hate USC. They have a superiority complex for no good reason. No, I'm sure someone can tell me a bunch of good reasons they love themselves SO much, but I still hate them. I find most USC fans I've met personally are rather shallow sosh-types. MOST, not all. I have a friend who went there for college who is now a super rich New Yorker and she is a doll. So not everyone who goes there sucks, haha.
Sports-wise: Also, Michael Vick still makes me sick to my stomach and Brett Favre - do your stuff for two years and RETIRE FOR GOOD!
3) I believe in the right for all people to get married. Yes, this means gay people.
4) I have a hard time with people who take the Bible literally. I am Christian by baptism but a skeptic by heart and soul. Hey, God made me that way, right? I mean, I'm sorry. A Virgin birth? Rising from a grave? My empirical self demands more.
5) I struggle with religion but try to be open about a higher power. I just have no concept what that higher power is really like. I like to explore other belief systems. I don't believe I'm going to Hell if I don't believe Jesus is my ONLY Savior. Sorry. I'm not even sure I believe in Hell. Although when I think of people like Hitler, I hope there's a Hell. Heh.
6) I hate people that text and talk on cell phones when they're with you. I think it's beyond rude. I've had to take a few calls from my mom when I'm with people, but overall, I try really hard not to talk on the cell phone and texting is for 12 year olds.
7) I know who my friends are. My enemies, hmmm, not so clear on that. Should probably pay closer attention.
8) Character is everything. Money, job, career, status, car, house, boat, looks...mean nothing to me if your character is lacking.
9) Eddie Izzard is my new hero for running like 40 marathons for charity. And I'm not kidding about that number.
10) Emotionally closed off people bug the shit out of me. I know, it's a person's perogative to never talk about anything going on in their lives, but I have a hard time having relationships with people who never open up. So I tend to be with pretty open people. :)
11) I hate daylight savings time and think it's bullshit it's still light on Halloween when kids go trick or treating. Although sadly it's probably safer for them. We had it SO SO SO good as kids. We could go out alone, in our nice neighborhoods, in the dark, and not be afraid some sex offender was going to kidnap us.
12) People who pay NO attention to ANY news - ugh. You just come across as clueless and ignorant. Try to stay somewhat updated.
13)I admit, I won't watch local news that much. Listen to it on the radio yes, but I find TV local news to be all about death, murder and sensationalism. Maybe I'm locally clueless. Haha.
14) Love is love is love is love. Between a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man and me and my cats. Don't get sick thoughts in your head on that last part. Platonic cat love people! ; Note: BETWEEN CONSENTING ADULTS! None of this NAMBLA sick shit.
15) I don't have the slightest clue how to fix health care. But I know it's fucked up beyond repair now. FUBAR is how I believe they say it in the military. I also believe no one should DIE from lack of health care and NO ONE should have to go BROKE because they've been nailed to the wall by insurance companies and they had the bad luck to get sick.
16) I don't think I could ever work for a health insurance company. I'd hook on the street first. ; )
17) I love my friends without children because they make me feel a little less strange. Didn't Gloria Steinem bust her ass for me to have this choice without people thinking it's odd? I LOVE MY FREEDOM!
18) I really, really, really wish I could get together with Staci, Veleska, Sandy and Holly all at once! I think we'd have a blast. With a lot of liquor of course. :)
19)I try not to regret too much. It is what it is and it was what it was. I did the best I knew at the time. I like that saying. I think I heard it from Maya Angelou. Although I'm paraphrasing.
20) California will always be my home and for that reason I love it, but I hope I get out before I die. L.A. is a cesspool. I just can't figure out where the hell I want to go.
21) My biggest problem with racism, or bigotry or whatever you want to call it, is with the Armenians. I've always admitted that. They took over Glendale, my home town, and by and large, except for a few, they are mean and nasty, isolationist and not friendly. Plus the males tend to drive like maniacs and many don't bathe as often as I might like them to. Ugh.
22)Doctor and lawyer jokes are funny because they're so true.
23) Sometimes I wish I wanted to be something more than a teacher because they aren't really respected (despite the lip service) and make so little money. But I can't seem to get it out of my system.
24) Compassion and helping others - ALL OTHERS - OK even Armenians, haha, isn't that what it's all about?
25) I want to do some grief/bereavement counseling again like I used to. It helped other people and it helped me.
26) One thing I've learned from my experiences in August, life is too precarious and too short to deal with people who are TOO MUCH WORK.
27) I've learned a lot this summer. Life's little lessons. Pay attention.

1. I'm so with you on that. What's the fucking point, anyway? That said, my husband is obsessed with baseball. He literally goes through withdrawals when the season ends. Sigh.... oh well at least he watches the games at home and not at the bars.
2. I think way too many sports figures are total assholes. Brainless assholes. Not to mention hoodlums.
3. I agree. Get married and settle down, for god sake. How is that anti-family? I don't get it.
4. Blind belief in religion (take your pick)is simply an excuse to not think for oneself.
5. see above
6. Why all of a sudden is aswering your phone so goddam important? Life won't end if you miss a call. Turn the flippin thing off for crying out loud.
7. I know who my enemies are. My freinds, hmmm... not so clear on that.
8. True.
9. Never heard of him, but sounds like his heart is in the right place.
10. I think I can be like that. When I open up too much I get hurt. There are very few people I can really open up to.
11. I think kids don't come out until dark here. Problem is, they bring them in by the busload - seriously! All the "country" kids come to our neighborhood to trick-or-treat. Plus all the farm workers. I'm talking adults. Its pretty pathetic.
12. No shit. I think some folks just don't want to know. Live their lives in ignorant bliss. Right - idiots.
13. I like NPR.
14. ...as long as all parties agree. I'm thinking Jaycee whatshername and her 18 years of "love" by that sicko who imprisoned her. Can you believe that shit?
15. They have socialized medicine in every other industrialized nation, and we can't even get a public option. This whole thing really pisses me off.
16. Hmm.. might beat the abuse you take in the classroom ~ ;-)
17. You are not strange.
18. Hey, that sounds like fun!
19. Mostly I regret what I haven't done, rather than what I have.
21. My intolerance spreads all over the place. Mostly I hate extreme laziness, lack of ethics, and arrogance.
22. tell us a good one, please
23. yeah, like sports figures ~
24. that's what I see as the main difference between the democrats and the republicans.
25. do it. in you "spare" time ha ha.
26. I think we're all learning that.
27. What?
28. oh my god its a good thing i'm not drunk - I had to type in "orilityp" ~ ~ !
#6 was not refering to you - it was meant in general. For the rude people, you know?
#7 I meant friends, not feinds. Shit. Maybe I am drunk!
1) I hate sports.
-I DO TOO! I did like a few in the UK, though, enjoyed watching them.
2) I especially hate USC.
-I still laugh like a 15-year-old boy when i think of their mascot: Tommy Trojan! I mean, c'mon!
3) I believe in the right for all people to get married. Yes, this means gay people.
-Yep. Who is so threatened by it? If procreating is the big purpose of marriage, then Dave and I shouldn't have been allowed to get married. Nor Stephen and I.
4) I have a hard time with people who take the Bible literally.
- You're right. 1) the bible was written in code, and 2) people interpret books so as to benefit themselves, not others.
6) I hate people that text and talk on cell phones when they're with you.
- This annoys me no end, too. I especially love people who talk to others while they're on a regular phone call with me, so the behavior isn't new. It's especially true of people with young kids.
7) I know who my friends are.
- I, on the other hand, do not.
8) Character is everything.
- Of course! What else is there?
10) Emotionally closed off people bug the shit out of me. I know, it's a person's perogative to never talk about anything going on in their lives,
- That's why i quit facebook.
11) I hate daylight savings time
- We don't have it here. Move to AZ.
12) People who pay NO attention to ANY news - ugh. You just come across as clueless and ignorant. Try to stay somewhat updated.
14) None of this NAMBLA sick shit.
- What's that?
15) I don't have the slightest clue how to fix health care.
- Don't feel bad, no one does.
17) I love my friends without children because they make me feel a little less strange. Didn't Gloria Steinem bust her ass for me to have this choice without people thinking it's odd? I LOVE MY FREEDOM!
- No question. It's a trade-off.
18) I really, really, really wish I could get together with Staci, Veleska, Sandy and Holly all at once! I think we'd have a blast. With a lot of liquor of course. :)
- Yes, we would. Maybe one day.
20) California will always be my home
- Good luck.
21) My biggest problem with racism, or bigotry or whatever you want to call it, is with the Armenians.
- I could comment at length about this but would rather not.
23) Sometimes I wish I wanted to be something more than a teacher because they aren't really respected
- It's sad it's changed. I really cared about several of my teachers. I still think of them, 40 years later. Some were jokes, tho.
24) Compassion and helping others - ALL OTHERS - OK even Armenians, haha, isn't that what it's all about?
- Good one! Not a clue on my end.
26) One thing I've learned from my experiences in August, life is too precarious and too short to deal with people who are TOO MUCH WORK.
- FUCK YEAH!
27) I've learned a lot this summer. Life's little lessons. Pay attention.
- I've learned jack. Then again, i'm really self-absorbed.
Sandy:
"14. ...as long as all parties agree. I'm thinking Jaycee whatshername and her 18 years of "love" by that sicko who imprisoned her. Can you believe that shit?"
It's called "Stockholm Syndrome." She was brainwashed. It takes years, sometimes never, to get past it once liberated.
I didn't mean to infer that she agreed. I meant "love" can sometimes harm people. But then, that's not really love anyway, is it?
That pervert AND his perverted wife - should be given a special kind of torture every day for the next eighteen years. Heh.. they'll probly get it too, assuming they're sent to prison.
We can only hope Sandy!
1. i'm not really a sports nut, i like basketball and was into sports when i was in school, but i cannot stand to watch it on television.
2. don't know about USC so i cannot comment on this one.
3. if two people love each other, why not?
4. anything is open for interpretation.
5. i believe in God, and i don't think He's as brutal and cruel as a lot of people make Him out to be.
6. i agree.
7. ditto.
8. this is something a lot of people don't have.
9. he's my hero.
10. i cannot deal with "emotionally closed off" people.
11. i don't mind it so much in the spring, but i do mind it in the fall.
12. i cannot imagine not knowing what's going on in the world.
13. i watch the news whenever i can.
14. NAMBLA is perversion personified.
15. personally, i don't think it CAN be fixed.
16. i'll be working with health insurance companies. and already within the past few weeks i've seen what assholes they can be.
17. almost everyone i know has kids.
18. i would like that, too. i wish we didn't live so far apart.
19. always do your best, that's what i believe.
20. with all its problems, new orleans will always be my home, too. and i miss it sometimes.
21. we don't ahve any armenians here, so i cannot comment on this one. (at least not that i've seen)
22. yes.
23. hopefully you will get something permanent soon.
24. that's what it's supposed to be, i wish more people believed in that.
25. if you decide to, let us know how it goes.
26. it took me a long time to learn this, but i was glad when i did.
27. this summer went by too fast for me, learning anything didn't happen for me.
