Trips and Sisters and Weddings

Welllll - I am in Arizona as my second oldest sister is getting married tomorrow. There is lots of comedy, drama and ooohhh and ahhs (and holy shits and no F*ing ways too) and I am staying in my nephews room, a shrine to Hilary Duff - I will not comment on that any more at this point :P

The rehearsal yesterday was weird. My sister knows weird people - I was loving watching everything. Then the rehearsal was livened up as my one nephew fell in the little fish pond - OMG it was so funny but not - you know - luckily they had extra clothes and such but mannnnn funny to watch my sister turn beet red and get even more nervous before her wedding - hehe - of course I had been with the kids as we looked at the snails and fish and stuff... but then I went off and look one of them falls in :P

Our aunt and uncle from Florida came out and are driving everyone crazy (and man the aunt is nosy - we had bags from shopping and she was going through them and my sister's fridge and everything - lol

my sister getting married is doing fairly well (she just found out now her husband to be went out, is still out as we speak and is major drunk with his little pal - more on the whole little pal story at some point) i managed not to get my nails done and instead ducked into a video store and found a copy of "Bound" which I have been looking for so hurray on that.

I dropped my youngest sister, who was not invited to the wedding, yes lots of drama, but I dropped her at the airport earlier today as she was going with a bunch of girls to Vegas for the weekend - I got to listen to an earful about why she was not invited to the wedding and lots of other wonderful things... but she needed the ear...

I am ending up spending a lot of time with the kids as I am the only one not in the wedding so I watch all the little ones while everyone else is practicing and talking and doing errands and such - which is ok, I am pretty immature and fit right in - lol - I will not mention the little scooter accident I had other than to say, I still did the 360 damnit but the 540 need work ;-D

Well lots more going on including me going outta my mind (and I so wish I could say jooking after that but, tis sadly true :P

I stopped by the old house today on the way back from dropping my sister off - the first time i had been alone since getting here, and thought a lot about my mom and growing up and memories... which was good thinking and kinda bad thinking... ah well, reflection and such is well, reflective : )

ok gotta go - helping my sister make the weddings cake, have to pick up her dress, have to do a few other things and going to get to eat Mexican tonight - Yummy (wish I could say I was going to "eat" Mexican tonight too (hehe - yeah I am baddddd and mind is badddd ah well :P

Updates later if I get a chance to breath or recover from this crazy mad house

you know you are in rural southern Nj when....

when on the way to teach my lab at the college this morning (at the wonderful time of 7am so i can get to my lab for 8am start) I had to stop in the middle of the road as a flock of turkeys were crossing the street - yuppers about 16 of them and I could not tell if they were wild turkeys or if one of the farmers on the farms I was driving by would end up being a little miffed was - ok drum roll please - as their turkey's had flown the coop - hahahah yes I am so stupid and dorky but I think I am funny :P

watching Art school Confidental - that is a weird movie and has parts that make me laugh out loud - :Pour contract at work was approved - dental, eyecare and a small raise - hurray...... now if my job is just there for next year.....

Semi-annual white stuff rant (I kept it short this time)

OK damn it either snow all out or nothing - this just enough in the morning and then evening when i have to drive and get tense and nervous and shout obscenities at the mirror and my jack cat and wonder woman doll and guitar pin in my car as i try to drive is just starting to get old... and now maybe ice shit is coming too and not when it would keep us out oh no it is waiting until I am OUT - again I say let it come but just do it at night so in morning I am trapped... crap stuff... actually again it is not the snow per se but that I have to go and drive... feck, fook and the other f word.....

Leave my website alone you spamming fiends

OK - I understand the ideal of free speech, democracy, and commercialism. I also understand nothing is free, especially the Internet, which we all take for granted as being free, but it is not, we all pay for it.

BUTTTTTTTTTTTT - there are different ways to pay and I have one in particular I am getting a little peeved at.

Some sites support themselves by allowing ads and spam and the like. My email accounts are all full of junk as is my regular mailbox and answering machine - ok - I deal - BUTTTTTTTTTTT I pay for the site I keep my story website on through my cable Internet.....

I ALSO PAY for the tagboard I have at the bottom of my site so people can leave me comments about the stories I and others wrote or other things (PS feel free non spammer people to leave messages and comments and discuss said stories and so on)

Recently I have noticed a trend - spammers have created a new spambot - I know there are programs that people run and it sends the spam out into the world with a few keystrokes - well looks like one is now targeting TagBoards - I can ban the IP (and I do - trust me) and delete the comments, but what a pain in the arse for me.

So go for my email and other things - but leave my TagBoard alone you marketing boohaas
