Republican Reaction to Palin as VP

"She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?" said Green, a Republican from Palin's hometown of Wasilla. "Look at what she's done to this state. What would she do to the nation?"

Saw this and it reminded me of an old friend lol... (those who know her will see the similarities) enjoy :D

Oh, and by the way...

CHRISTIANS SUCK






Carry on :D

Catharsis, finally :p

lol... yeah, that's how I have to start this. I am so incredibly happy with my life right now. I've come so far without the malice and strife in my life that various people have brought to me. I had thought for so long that my closest friend was so much like me... it was amazing how similar we were.. how much we had in common... the closeness I felt. Only to realize many years later that we weren't... we weren't alike at all.... just everything I was she was pretending to be! What incredible bullshit lol. To be so not a person yourself that you have to be like a lizard and to meld into the background of whatever you are close to.

I have been mourning for so long but I can with great assurance say it's over now :) My life is full.







It's amazing to look back and see how my very self was ripped apart for so long. Anything that could be done to build their self up. My interests, my likes... everything was taken. My illness's were never as bad... my aches, never as severe, my highs never quite high enough, my accomplishments truly meaningless when compared... hell, I wasn't even as evil as they were!

The very worst thing is the hurt they brought to my family. That's the very worst. Did they ever, apologize for their part in what happened? No. I won't go through life with blaming others though. I was the dumbass that opened myself to trusting. It's over. The scars are there but it's over. We have all moved on and have grown through it all. I should have known then but I have a big heart and hoped, hoped it was true.

They only had gotten worse though. Colder, harder, but more religious lol. I think that was the only way they could face what they had done.

So... why write this now? Well, I've had a lot of different "conclusions" I've wanted to write about the whole affair but kept wavering back and forth about how I felt. Therapy helps though and so does my husband. Friends don't hurt, especially true ones who aren't using you to feed off of.

I've learned so much since then. I've grown so much as a person. Sure, I still have plenty to sort out but then who doesn't. I have found so much good in this world. I have found the opposite too. It often disguises itself though and you have to remember to go with your gut feelings. Would I take it back and wish for a different conclusion? No. I have found great peace through everything I have learned. I hope they find peace someday too. Just far, far away from me :D

First pic from our vacation... yeah, I've been slacking. The worst part is I was playing with some filters with this one just for fun. lol it's freaky :D

Etymology of "fuck you"

From Carl Sagan's Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors:

We go to great lengths to deny our animal heritage, and not just in scientific and philosophical discourse. You can glimpse the denial in the shaving of men's faces; in clothing and other adornments; in the great lengths gone to in the preparation of meat to disguise the fact that an animal is being killed, flayed, and eaten. The common primate practice of pseudosexual mounting of males by males to express dominance is not widespread in humans, and some have taken comfort from this fact. But the most potent form of verbal abuse in English and many other languages is "Fuck you," with the pronoun "I" implicit at the beginning. The speaker is vividly asserting his claim to higher status, and his contempt for those he considers subordinate. Characteristically, humans have converted a postural image into a linguistic one with barely a change in nuance. The phrase is uttered millions of times each day, all over the planet, with hardly anyone stopping to think what it means. Often, it escapes our lips unbidden. It is satisfying to say. It serves its purpose. It is a badge of the primate order, revealing something of our nature despite all our denials and pretensions.

The Importance of Apologizing & How To Do It


Do you know the two little words that can go a long way to saving your marriage and keeping it healthy and happy for years to come? Those words are: "I'm sorry."
I can't tell you how many couples I have seen that have a problem with apologizing. People often get so caught up in their own way of seeing things that they can't even muster an apology for simple offenses like leaving the cap off the toothpaste or forgetting to take out the garbage.

MEN ARE SO STUPID!

Goodbye cruel world!

Vacation all I ever wanted...

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone ~ the Go-gos :D

Well, we're finally leaving on Monday for our first vacation in years. The longest one ever. We're going to Niagara Falls. It's not like the most thrilling vacation spot for us ever but the best we could come up with :) Also, I'm fulfilling some childhood wishes... always wanted to go on the Maid of the Mist but couldn't so now I get to!

I would rather be kicked in the head than lied to. I can handle disappointment. I've had plenty of it in my life, no big deal. But, to be lied to... when just a, "gee sorry it didn't work out" and a hug would have made everything ok. Is SO not cool. I'm angry and justifiably. If you're not sure say so. Don't say for sure. I'm so disappointed. Not in the evening but in a person. Especially to try to make me believe it wasn't so. I think that hurts the worst. :(

Happy 4th! (totally plagurized)

Today we celebrate not being British

---

In honor of Independence Day, I'd like to take a contrarian view. July 4th is the day we here in America celebrate our independence. Our independence from England, historically. But maybe things would be better if we were still under British rule.

TV - They have Doctor Who, Top Gear and Monty Python. We have Medium, The Dukes Of Hazzard and Full House. Advantage: England

Accents - They sound refined and intelligent. We sound brash and stupid. Advantage: England

Education - They have Oxford and Cambridge. Our teens have to take remedial courses after graduating high school just to catch up to high school level. Advantage: England

Religion - Britain ranks 6th in the world in belief in evolution. The U.S. ranks next-to-last, only beating Turkey. Advantage: England

Fitness - What Americans consider "average," the English consider portly. Advantage: England

Cars - Proximity to other European countries gives them easy access to all manner of stunning vehicles. We drive minivans or Japanese boxes. Advantage: England

Ruling Party - The Royal Family is an outdated product of inbreeding. Our president is George W. Bush. Advantage: Tie

Music - They gave the world The Beatles, The Sex Pistols and Black Sabbath. We came up with Britney Spears, Winger and Vanilla Ice. Advantage: England

Food - We have soul food, southern cuisine, extremely varied local fare and all imaginable mixes of ethnic food. They have kippers, mince pie and spotted dick. Advantage: US

There you go! We may not be the smartest or the healthiest. We may drive crappy cars and produce pointless entertainment that embarrasses us ten years later. But at least here in America we don't have to eat a Curly Wurly or suck on a Fisherman's Friend. Thank your lucky stars for our independence.

USA! USA! USA!

Haunted Local Private Club

---

My husband has been doing IT here for a long time and telling me all sorts of stuff that has happened there. Things he experienced himself, other techs that work with him and things that the people that work there have talked about. It's a very, old, beautiful, exclusive lodge that is up in the mountains here that is members only. It reminds me of the Overlook Hotel in the Shining
Every time my husband does work up there I ask him to sneak me up there so I can check the place out.

Well.... he finally got special permission for me to go up with him and explore the place!!!! I am sooooooooo excited!! I'm bringing my camera and hoping that something spooky happens!!

RIP George Carlin

"Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money." -- George Carlin

Couple new pics :D
Chris looking quite handsome.... :p
and my BEAUTIFUL Jinxy cat!

What I'm feeling today is summed up soooo well in this...

"It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me" ~ Disturbed

I'm Voting Republican!

That's Happy Father's Day in Chinese :)

Just something a little different to recognize my wonderful husband for all he has done and shared with my children since our relationship began. He has given so much as their step-dad and has helped me so much with the HARD job of parenting since we've been together. His voice of reason, his hand holding mine when going through scary stuff. He's been there through all of it. He is what a step parent should be and I like to thank him for all of that on this day. I love you :)

Fight the Smears

Barack is taking things head on like John Kerry should have in 2004 and put up a website to show the truth behind the smears that the right wingers are trying to bog down his campaign with. This website is great and I highly recommend it to anyone who hears something that doesn't sound quite right.

Fight the Smears

RIP Tim Russert

I'm so sad. He apparently died of a heart attack today at only 58 years old. I loved listening to his interviews and will miss him. I looked forward to Meet The Press and all his appearances about politics.

omg Chris sent me this and I almost wet myself :D

I think I'm going to ask my doctor for some anti-psychotics. Cause I obviously must need them. Either that or people around me don't care enough just to share when they're upset, they WANT me to think I'm crazy. I will talk to my pdoc.

Oooooh!

Holy crap this looks intense! :D
Kick their asses Barack!!!

W00t!!!

The Democratic Nominee for President of the United States!

Barack Obama!!!!

Waiting on the edge of my seat...

For Barack Obama's speech tonight! Finally he will have all the delegates he needs to declare victory and wow has it been one hell of a race! It's been fun all day watching them keep rolling in the delegates. I think right now he's down to 12 and they're predicting he'll get at least 15 at the primaries tonight. So exciting!

ETA:

Oh wait, it's 10 now!!! *bounce*

New Grim pic :D

Obama FINALLY

Looks to be about to clinch the nomination. What a fight this has been. I just hope everything settles down and the Democrats can come back together and KICK mcbush's ass! :D


Hillary Speech on Tuesday

Added a new link and just HAD to say I LOVE Keith Olbermann! :D

Yeah, I know...

The name is kind of goofy. So, I guess I will post here "Why did I choose the name "wrapt up"? Well, as silly as it may sound I brain-stormed for awhile and had lots of ideas for what I wanted to call it. Lots of ideas for what I want it to be. I'm going through some big changes lately and really need some kind of outlet for it all.

I'm rediscovering I'm a creative person and experimenting with that too. So...

The Definition (past tense of course but I'm being all loose here):

1. to surround, envelop (one of my favorite words), shroud, or hide.
2. informal,secret.
3. intensely absorbed in.
4. to summarize; recapitulate.
5. completely immersed or absorbed in.

Which all seem to be pretty much what I'm going for here. The name also makes me think of where my mind is at times. Totally "Wrapped(t) up" in my various phobias and obsessions. And along with the image...where I think I might end up...

Plus, screw you, all the good names were taken.

Ewwww!

When Bodybuilding and Steroids Go Too Far

This is nuts. Muscles can look ok although I like smaller men as a rule. This is taking it way too far though. They look frightening. Yick.
