I got my driver's license today!  I'm officially a legal licensed driver!  It was the world's easiest test.  I literally drove around the block and that was my exam!  So I can legally drive but I'm not really a good driver.  I still have issues with turns and other cars and left turns but I've been assured that I'll get better at those things with ( Read more... )

So my mom and I went shopping today and we stopped in one of my favorite plus size stores, Avenue.  The last time we were in this store my mom and I tried on the faux Hilton perfume and thought it smelled nice.  I actually like the scent which I found very shocking since it's a very girly scent.  It's not really floral or fruity but it is sweet ( Read more... )

So lately I've been watching a lot of the boob tube and realized that there seems to be a lot of commericals concerning cleaning products.  And the products aren't about keeping clean it's about killing viruses and dangerous microbes and such.  When did we as a massive monolithic culture become so obsessed with viral cleanliness?  I am definitely ( Read more... )

So please help me out.  I need to seriously get rid of these books.  They won't sell on half.com or rather they won't sell well on half.com.  These books are still free and I've added more to the list.  As always the crossed out titles are gone.

So I went out driving tonight. My mom has a difficult car, so I spent 10 minutes trying to find the lights and memorizing the gears (the gear shift is not illuminated in the car). Finally, I had to go get my mom who decided to come along for the ride which doesn't please me one bit. So I'm driving and I'm thinking I'm doing well, though I must ( Read more... )

I am cleaning house and I want to get rid of some books. Over the next few days I will be adding to the list of books below. Let me know if you want a book and i'll email you to get your address. I'm not charging to send the books I just want them gone.

I didn't actually leave but the children's presence limited my computer access. They are gone and I haven't been happier. I still have a lot of cleaning to do but at least it will stay that way when I'm done. I would say more but I have to watch my british murder mysteries on the biography channel. I love Agatha Christie!

For some reason I really love this movie! My niece is currently watching it and i'm sitting here at the computer singing along with every word. I haven't watched it in years yet the words come back to me like I wrote them. I tell you my mind is way to occupied by the frivilous to be concerned with the dire ( Read more... )

I think that I have tried to be openminded. I have tried to lessen my freakdom by saying that though I don't want to procreate maybe someday I will adopt. But the truth is that I don't like kids. I'm way to anal about having things in there places to deal with kids. I get livid everytime something of mine is touched. I want to scream, "TAKE ( Read more... )

One of the lj communities that I am a member of is having a discussion along these lines and I couldn't help but think that I am a major cultural appropriator. I'm not ashamed of it even though I think that I'm expected to be. I guess my question is when does cultural appropriation become negative? I love salwar kameez but am I not allowed to ( Read more... )
