Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.

About Me

Not a whole lot to tell. Just your average girl trying to make it in this f'd up world. During the day I work for a corporation where I pretty much bend over and take it everyday. I have a lot of back problems because of that. Thinking about suing the company. Layout made by

My Interests

My current interests include retiring to the nerdery after work and discussing the latest in conspiracy theories and playing World of Warcraft (guess you couldn't figure that out). I'm also interested in long walks on the beach. Yeah because there are a lot of beaches in North Dakota....

I'd like to meet:

President Shrub, so I can see what a soulless coward looks like in person. Oh and I'd like to meet the real Ronald Mcdonald someday. I believe the one I met last weekend at the bar was a fake. I woke up with red makeup all over my sheets.

Music:

A Perfect Circle, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Angels of light, David Bowie (I want to have his babies!), I'm surprisingly digging Dolly Parton these days, her latest is pretty good, The Postal Service, Rush, Sleater-Kinney (when I'm angry, so I'm pretty much listening to the all the time), Tina Turner, and anything from the 80's. Oooooo, had to add a new one that I forgot about. Cypress Hill! Musical Masters of the Universe! Check em' out youngins if you haven't yet.

Movies:

Only been in a few and those went straight to video.

Television:

HDTV is the devil. Don't get a set equipped with it. "They" will watch you through it. They'll see everything. This is the only warning I'm giving you. Don't come crying to me when there is a warrant for your arrest because "they" caught you smoking some grass through your precious f'ing HDTV.

Books:

I've read so many that I don't even really have a favorite. If I had to choose I would pick The Army Survival Guide. It's very informative. I can pretty much survive anywhere on the planet now. As long as I have my blow dryer, curling iron, makeup, my fuzzy slippers, a good supply of vintage wine, etc....I'm pretty low maintenance.

Heroes:

Wow. Where do I start? Well first I'll start with myself. Yes I'm my own hero. I'm very conceited. Stewie Griffin. Annie Grindhard. She rocks. Oh and my husband because he is the most honest person I've ever met. I don't know how a lyin' fool like me got so lucky but I did. I'm getting all misty eyed now but I can't cry because of the botox.

Annie and Her Cold Shoulder (Part I)

Tonight I'm going to tell the tale not of two cities but of two people who have ridden the roller coaster of friendship.  The tale of Annie and April.  It all started out in 1988.  I h...

The clock winds down.....

to the last ticking seconds.  Everything is dead in the water.  My mind is a wasteland.  Neurons are shootin'  blanks.  One foot in this world the other floating in another.&...

Do I really need a liver?

I was sitting at the library today scoping out some babes when I had an Oz moment.  No, not the bending over to pick up the soap Oz moment.  It was the realization that at the current rate I...

Nails in the Coffin

Today my husband and I sign the papers to purchase our first home.  For me this will be a bittersweet moment.  I'm happy that we are going to begin a new phase of our lives but I also see th...
