Old News (The Unbearable Lightness Of Blogging)

As many of you may know, I am a member of Mensa. Although, if you hadn't known, you certainly wouldn't have guessed it from my posts. At any rate, the most surprising aspect of the (seemingly) intimidating entry exam is just how easy it actually is... assuming, of course, you know precisely how to... Sign in to see full entry.

Soooo, I've finally figured out why I'm not a very productive writer. I'm simply too easily distracted! All it takes is the slightest little thing to derail my train of thought. Jeez, this coffee tastes terrible! And, I specifically told my mother not to leave the pot sitting in the machine! The... Sign in to see full entry.

~ One of the reasons I was so curious to see The Lady in the Water was because I had read the storyline in advance and was absolutely convinced there was no way on earth a coherent movie could be made out of it.

You see, one of my other best friends, Noelle, just came back from her vacation (although I'm still two short). And, the three of us are going to catch a movie. Now, I had wanted to see Lady...

As anyone who witnessed my little meltdown earlier today (SEE previous post) might have guessed, my mother and I badly "needed to talk". She begins by immediately trying to shift the blame, "You sure don't handle criticism very well. You know that?" "Oh, so you're just now figuring this out?!" I... Sign in to see full entry.

Why has this post been deleted, you ask? Because my mother made me. Seriously. And I bet you thought communism was dead! Worst part was when I asked her, "Why? Is it too mean-spirited?" "No," she said, "I just don't think it's funny." I was mortified! And, of course, she couldn't just leave it at... Sign in to see full entry.

~ James doesn't drive a car. And I mean ever. He has literally never been behind the wheel of an automobile. He's not a radical environmentalist or anything; cars just don't "interest" him. One time, I asked, "What if you have to get somewhere quickly? Like in an emergency?" He just said, "I'll... Sign in to see full entry.

Soooo, my mother finally comes home around two in the morning. And yes, the fact that she stays out so much later than I do is disconcerting on multiple levels. I am in the kitchen making a sandwich because I can't sleep. Not with a potential bomb in the house. My mother enters the room, and plunks... Sign in to see full entry.
