House Hunting and other fun stuff
Sep. 3rd, 2012 11:18 pmI did manage to finish the lecture I erroneously thought was done and made headway on the next one so I accomplished good stuff today. I think I'm THIS close to finishing the missing scene for my scarred soldier story (I know i have a few smoothing of bridges yet to do) so it should be ready for me to edit through myself and maybe find someone willing to look over it again.
So I was poking through the housing market again, tears rolling down my face either from laughter or the sheer ugliness of these things but I found a few. (do go down and click on the larger photos icon to really see the houses) ( Click me! You know you want to see the wacky world of housing in Appalachia )
And while we're on the topic of things that make me laugh and cry, dating. I've been looking more closely at my Match matches. Dear god, some men just don't get it. 1. I know you don't want your buddies knowing you're doing online dating but do you not have a SINGLE photo of yourself? No? Okay then when you take a photo of yourself in the bathroom mirror a) put on a shirt. Seriously can't stress that enough b) BUCKLE your damn pants because this 'i'm sexy and I know it' pose ain't working for you dude. 2. Okay, I don't mind pictures of you with your kids. I think it's dumb when you put up your engagement photo to another woman. Ditto your h.s. photo. I know it's your h.s. photo. You're 45. The kid in the picture is 18 and men, for the most part, don't do glamor shots any other time.
3. You can't all put I want a slim toned athletic woman. Sorry but you can't. Okay we all want that unless we're chubby chasers but we ought to be able to look in the mirror and say, let's be realistic. 4. why are all of you either religious nutjobs or you can smoke and drink but it says NO WAY to both for your date? 5. To all the men putting Jesus is the most important thing in my life all the time/every day, thank you for warning me. I'm betting there's no room for anyone else in that mix.
On a more uncomfortable note, all the typing for class and writing has stressed my bad hand. My thumb is wooden and pins and needly but the weakened muscles gave way and the damn thing dislocated. I can easily relocate it and it's not as painful as you might think.I'll put it in its brace tomorrow.
