Horrified at what people find amusing
I just found an ODer who was joking about how she had to support her cancer ridden father.
Having my father died less than a year ago of a horrific brain tumour I was appalled, disgusted, and horrified that she not only did this but that people found it amusing. I’m just sickened.
Kitchen update day # 17 – I have come to the conclusion that I can’t bake anything delicate for a while as the oven is not level. After having the toppings fall off ½ a pizza, and other lopsided things coming out of the oven it’s an easy conclusion. I’ll dig out my level just to make sure.
So my girlfriend just left for her clinical and it amazes me what an idiot she can be at times. I know that is harsh thing to say but she always takes lazy shortcuts and then wonders why she has bad luck.
She is wearing her “clinical” shoes to walk to work which in the health care industry is frowned upon.
I asked her if she was wearing her shoes and she told me she was because she doesn’t know their policy.
I suggested that she ask and take them for now because they can very well send her home to change her shoes, and not come back until she has shoes that are not contaminated in any way. They are new shoes I just bought her last week so if that does happen (very unlikely but still a chance) I’ll be furious.
She then told me that she does it because it takes up about 10 minutes when she gets there. So she is taking a lazy shortcut which could turn out to cost her the last 6 months of her life as a student. Part of me hopes it does just so she can learn the lesson the hard way.
Never take shortcuts that can be potentially harmful, that’s how bad luck happens.
I have become very frustrated with this new OD layout because I have been trying for nearly two days to upload a picture of myself for the little blurb about me. After a very long upload time it tells me that the page can’t be displayed. I find it very hard to believe that I have to resize the picture myself. This is one more example of the small things here on OD that make me just want to jump ship after 4 years of being here. Like I said before I am staying for the community aspect of it at this point and nothing else.
I’m doing a once a day entry in my OD and going with many posts and pictures on my blog. If you want to see them you can always go to axalotal.blogspot.com. I thing you should book mark it and just visit me there from time to time.
I have also created a story blog called Axalotal’s Stories where I’ll post short stories and poems (if I can ever write one). This is where I plan on publishing only my works of truth and fiction.
I have seem some really amazingly done blogs and it makes me jealous and actually want to learn HTML, Java and other code just to have a site like theirs. Anyone want to help/teach me?
I plan on always posting when I have updated my blogs with links to them because I want people to read and give feedback. I don’t care if it’s good, bad, or assholeish.
I plan on taking my recorder and camera on my trip to the store later this afternoon just to see and record. I’m thrilled that I can literally create an entry anywhere I go now.
Just got off the phone with my mom and I’m getting my mulch tomorrow. I guess it’s time to go shopping now since I’m not going out with her until tomorrow morning.
I guess I should install DrangonNaturaly Speaking so that I don’t inflame my carpel tunnel syndrome, or tendonitis while doing all this blogging that I plan on doing. Bedsides I think it’s cool that I can speak and have my words typed out. Oh technology is so amazing.
Despite being able to do all these wonderful things I’m always puzzled how we can’t cure cancer or AIDS (however I don’t think the powers that be really want to or it would be done), or how our children grow up worse off every generation. I mean how cool is it that I can play games and chat to my friend whom I can’t see because she lives too far away? Tic Tac Toe, and other fun little games but still, it’s fun.
I always though that by the time I’m 30 (a few months to make the dream a reality) we would all be living like the jetsons. Did TV lie to me?
