    Still annoyed

    May 31, 2007 - By 

    Too little, too late, too clueless. My choices are: Stay at LJ through laziness and fear of losing what readership and/or community I have there. Move to GreatestJournal (I’m jenbooks there, of course) – it has more word of mouth right now, but a clunky version of LJ Move to InsaneJournal (I’m jenbooks there, too) – it’s got a newer version of the LJ software, but it’s not known very well. Move to MySpace HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA – no. Actually use my very own wordpress blog – see first point of laziness and readership. Some combination of the above The funny thing…

    Thought Police

    May 30, 2007 - By 

    Because bronxelf_ag001 is far more eloquent than I: Writing about a thing (especially writing about a fictional account of a thing, using fictional people, in fictional situations) is not a crime. It is NOT THE EQUIVALENT OF ONE, either. Writing about incest Harry Potter fic where all the Weasleys are having mad naked donkey sex with a hoover and a bag of Mrs. Botts Everyflavour Beans *doesn’t make you a pedophile*.

Here’s an “after” picture: Half of that stuff on the left is for the theoretical garage sale we’ll have after we get through at least some of the junk room. Hopefully. More pictures on how we spent a four-day Memorial day weekend after the cut!

    That doesn’t look good.

I mean, I know we haven’t been able to actually get to the water heater in… well, let’s just say far too long and leave it at that, ok? But I’m not really liking the look of the bottom of the water heater at all. Gas heating/cooking makes me nervous, though it’s certainly cheaper, and better for cooking too.

    Guilt. Mothers. Daughters

    May 13, 2007 - By 

    Originally published at Jen’s Corner. You can comment here or there. I wrote this about my mom a few years ago. I was thinking about it today, and felt the need to post it here. My mom was born in 1931 in Kansas City, MO. Her father molested her from when she was about 12 till she was about 16. Her mother didn’t believe her when she told about the incest.
