Can I be clever and witty, too??

Before I say anything else, I would like to point out that blogger sucks because they don't offer Garamond as a font choice. I don't know why I am obsessed with this font, but I am.

So, I want to be clever. I go to sites like TWOP and if you don't know what that stands for, then never mind. I look at other blogs. And, dammit. People are freakin' clever. Even if their sentence structure. Sucks. They're cool. They make up names for people. They mock everything and find the geekiest things super cool. They don't over use the word "cool."

They don't start new paragraphs with "So" or "Anyway" and they don't over use the ellipsis...

I will be clever.
I will be witty.
I have boring friends.
No. I am boring.

But I'm supposed to be good with the writing skills. I will make up clever stories. I will have witty names for my friends. I will immerse myself in geek-pop culture!

Dammit, I'm good enough.

What does Feminism Really Mean?

Feminism:
The American Heritage Dictionary (at dictionary.com)
1. the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.
2. (sometimes initial capital letter) an organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women.
3. feminine character

Why is there such anger over this issue? Seems to me that these are all good things.

Here I out myself as a conservative. Even worse, a conservative who listens to conservative talk radio. To top it all off I am a conservative Christian as well. Now, just so I can put myself clearly in the wrong in every camp, I don't particularly have a problem with gay marriage, just with gay pastors (not gay preachers--look up the difference dictionary.com).
I don't believe in sex before marriage.
I believe that abortion is murder.
I believe that Jesus died for our sins and any who accept him will go to heaven.
I don't believe that non-believers will somehow make it into heaven.
I believe that men should be the leader in a relationship.
I believe that a person leads by serving.

But, I digress.

When did feminism become about castrating men? Oh, one more, I believe that if I, as a woman, work the same job as a man, I should get the same pay. That's just a no brainer.


Rush calls them femi-nazis and the men who support them the new castrati. I think he has a point. It has gotten out of fashion for a man to literally sweep a woman off of her feet and carry her to the bedroom, now they walk hand in hand. Ugh. Admit it, you felt just as giddy as Scarlett when Rhett carried her up the stairs and ravished her.

Does feminism really mean empowerment for women at the expensive of masculinity?

At the core, we are all sexual beings, and if you deny a man a chance to be manly, what's the point?

Headaches give me a headache

I googled images for headache and this is what came up. Perfect. God, I love Persians, all cats are superior, but only these can look at you and say (very clearly), "Go fuck yourself."

I have a headache.

At the moment I am very creatively charged, I'm writing and the ideas are flowing. But all I want to do is crawl into a fetal position in the dark with an icepack on my head, some serious drugs and absolute silence.

This headache is pissing me off. It's giving me a headache just talking about it.

So Gidget...

Gidget is the only nickname (other than the requisite name alterations) that I've ever earned. It was first stuck to me in the fourth grade, while sleeping over at a friend's house--isn't it sad that I don't remember her name... we were really good friends, too. Her older brother was watching one of the old (even a-way back in the 80's they were old) Sandra Dee "Gidget" movies.

He decided that I reminded him of Gidget (a smart ass little blonde who thought she was all that and a bag of chips, but very naive about it, and accident prone), and started right off calling me after the character. A year later he started coaching our soccer team and the name stuck good and firm. I didn't grow up with me, though, nor did it ever leave the soccer team.

I miss it a bit, even if I no longer resemble the original (still a smart ass, and maybe a little naive and accident prone, but no longer blonde or little). Besides Gidget is a ridiculous name for someone in her late (I have to say it) thirties.

I played left wing. I was known for getting the ball down the field, and no one could get the ball away from me. The thing was, I never tried for a goal. I'd always, always pass it to someone else.

Gidget never scores.
