God's little cruel joke on me is that EVERY time I have something to do that's stressful or fun (or anything where there are a bunch of people involved) , I am in the major stages of P.M.S.
And my P.M.S. is the hideous, cry-at-the-drop-of-the-hat, think-everybody's-out-to-get-me, kind of P.M.S.
Birthdays, moving, get-togethers...doesn't matter...they always seem to occur two or three days before I get my period.
Damn lunar cycle or something.

The next day he was perfectly fine and I went to get him some more food at the pet store. The woman asks what kind of puppy I have (because I am buying puppy food) I tell her he's a Potcake. She says "Oh, they eat dog food?" I say "Yes, why would you ask that?" She says "Well I just didn't know they ate dog food". I smile and don't ask her again why she is confused that a dog is eating DOG food. When I get to my car it hits me...she must have thought I said POTBELLY, as in pig.

I was coming off the highway today...and I saw three cars pulled over to the shoulder like an accident. I saw a guy in the back car, a guy in the front car, and a maybe 25 or 30 year old woman standing in front of the middle car, wearing what looked like a skin tight body suit...oh wait, that's not a nude coloured body suit, SHE'S COMPLETELY NAKED. (I think she might be an aerobics instructor or a runner, you know?) Anyway, the cops weren't there yet but arrived seconds after. They poked her a couple of times...she didn't really move, she just stood there against the car all naked at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. So they each took an arm and led her to the police car...she fell down...they pulled her by the arms trying carefully not to touch anything else and put her in the back. Then the light changed and I drove away...wondering.

I'm doing the all night relay for life on June 2nd...with my buddy Lysa and a bunch of other girls. If you would like to sponsor our team let me know and I'll tell you how. Lysa did the relay last year and said it was a great time. I like great times. Almost as much as I like excellent times.
I feel sleepy today. It's the end of a long weekend sleepy I guess.

The series finale of Will and Grace was on tonight...I wasn't working either job so I watched it. And I didn't cry. Nope, that would be totally silly, especially since I'm not even pmsing.
My ex-boyfriend once told me that I reminded him of Karen. Honey, I don't know what he was talking about. He said not only was I like her, but if you squinted at the t.v. it looked a little like me. Silly ex-boyfriend.
And then there's another ex-dude that the finale reminded me of. More on the Will and Grace relationship side...but he isn't gay...and if he is...he is an awesomely good actor.

Also, there should be a rule that if you are driving on the highway and something falls off of your car/truck, like a ladder or a shovel, then you should be beaten with the ladder or the shovel (or other object) until you have learned how to properly secure things to your car/truck.
It was my mom's birthday on Saturday and we went out for a really good dinner. I had sea bass and scallops. Afterwards I thought to myself, isn't sea bass the endangered one? I will go Google that now.

I have been trying to blog, and stay in touch with my friends, and eat, but I have been so busy.
I started a second job at a restaurant so I can meet people in my new town, get some exercise and spoil my puppy (see above) so if I'm not at my regular job, or playing with Charlie, then I am at my second job, or passed out.
I am not ignoring you, I am just on spin cycle.

Thanks Jim in Tonic for the Dogster info...Charlie is going to link your pups soon.

I got my puppy...he was rescued from the Bahamas and he's a little under the weather so I have not been able to blog since I got him.
His name is Charlie and he is SO sweet. I will post pictures soon. In the meantime, I heard this older song on the radio today...and I just had to post the lyrics because they are the best. lyrics. ever.
Seriously.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99,
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now...
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine.
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you.
Sing.
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen…

I have found a way to deal with people that annoy me (see above) without constantly starting fights with strangers. I wait until they walk away and then I shoot them in the back of the head with my pretend hand gun. Literally my hand is my gun.
PEEEWR PEEEWR!!!
No television until Monday.
Think I can do it?
And I will not compensate with the computer because I think that's probably cheating.
I'll only blog from work.

I know I do.
How about 'If You Don't Turn Your Fucking Phone Down I am Going To Break It In Half Day'?
Yeah that would be good.
My hands feel very shaky lately and I'm not sure if it is stress, caffeine, or some sort of progressive shaky syndrome. I was going to Google it but then I thought that would just make it pretty much impossible for me to sleep tonight.
Other than that life is SWEET people. You?

Had a dream last night that I was driving along a road really fast and then all of the sudden I see HUGE potholes that I have to avoid. Like GRAND CANYON sized potholes. At another point I was stuck in a tree. It was HUGE too.
What do you think about that?
Just finished reading Blink. I liked it.
The end.

Magentas are jesters. They are zany, spontaneous, offbeat, outrageous, physical, innovative, in the here-and-now, inventors, attention-seekers. Sometimes they're loners. |
The key to understanding the Magenta Personality Spectrum’s color is their unwillingness to conform to the expectations and norms set by society. These individuals seek to express their individuality by using, with creativity and flair, the belongings and raw materials at their disposal. Because they look at life through a Magenta filter, they tend to be viewed as the nonconformists of the spectrum.
The single most difficult thing for a Magenta is to understand the difference between commitment and entrapment. For a Magenta to be locked into a nine-to-five job, to be married and have children, and to run a household, would be a form of insanity. They need to learn to create for themselves a lifestyle that works for them and does not impinge on the sensibilities of others. Magentas revitalize our concept of creativity by offering a new perspective, opening new vistas and exploring new points of departure.

And I like how people that are polite, and thoughtful, and empathetic are never taken advantage of or used for their kindness and consideration. Yeah that’s really cool.
It just makes a person want to give and give and give of themselves because they feel so appreciated and cared for.

I just wanted to drop you an email to say that I'm sad that you're not posting, but I understand. If you start up again, or start a new site, let me know so I have some place to type Canadian...it's my favourite. If you need someone to vent to that is out of your normal loop...drop me an email.
__________
I've gotten too used to seeing your hot HNT pics and enjoying your excellent posts...and then...gone. Is everything alright? Are you moving? Sick? In a witness protection program? On vacation? Being stalked?
I miss you and hope that all is well...
__________
Of course I need you baby.
__________
Hey girl,
I just found the post...man that was shitty. Then added on top of that, the guy who harassed and posted all of those HNT people. Uggh...makes me sad that people can be so mean.
I sure hope you didn't let them bother you. You have a lot of loyal readers and your blog is unique and creative.
Take care girl.
Oh and I think your background is COOL.
__________
Binsk,
Are you ok? I'm just wondering. I am a little worried about you since you say your gonna be away for an "indefinite" period of time.
__________
I saw your blog post, and I just wanted to drop a quick note to say that I hope you're doing okay and that your absence isn't in any way related to the 'funk' you referred to during our last e-mail exchange. If you are feeling down, I hope you quickly recover. Please know that if there's anything at all that I can do to help - even just listening - that I will gladly do it. You're far too wonderful and special to go through any prolonged period of pain and it bothers me a great deal to imagine you doing so.
_________
Just wanted to say you didn't make it easy to find your e-mail, taking your profile off the blog like that! And no comments either, tsk-tsk. Anyhow, I will genuinely miss your light-hearted postings and your nutty comments. Hope you're doing well and I'll keep a faint hope that you'll one day return.
__________
What a bunch of bitches. They used to actually critique and give you some feedback...now it's all about making a bunch of ugly bitches feel better about themselves. I've seen a few of their real blogs and I don't know what makes them the authorities. I think it's fine if you want to post pics of yourself. You obviously have a ton of readers so fuck them! I just thought I'd tell ya not to worry about it! You go girl!
__________
Just to let you know I'm here if you want to talk...Would mail art cheer you up?
__________
Don't let those bitches get to you binsky. i loved your blog...hope everything is okay. i'll miss you while you're gone.
__________
What's up? You seem to have been a little down over the past couple of posts/weeks, and now you're taking a break. Again, I ask-- what's up? I do hope that things are OK, or at least relatively OK. I offer, in that internetly anonymous way, an ear if you need to unload on a total stranger... Let me know if there's anything I can do, OK? We'll miss you, but we'll keep a light burning for you!
___________
You up and disappeared. Just makin sure you're ok. You're my favorite Toronto.....an? ite? whatever, you're the bestest. (Taranan?)

Here are my results:
Your answers indicate that you may currently be experiencing:

That's not so bad is it? Wasn't Picasso a loon too?
Check up from the neck up
This guy comes in our office and says "you need to leave the building there has been a bomb threat." I start to feel a little woozy and ask him if we should take the stairs. He says yes. Then he asks if I'm okay because I guess I looked a little pale. I say "yeah, you just don't think you are going to hear those words for real."
So I fly down the stairs and out of the building.
I had to sit in my car for a few minutes before I drove away because I was crying and shaking too much to drive.
Totally bizarre.
Apparently it was a prank. I'd say it doesn't get prankier than that.

Sorry, one of the MANY things that makes me ill?
When people see a celebrity doing/wearing/carrying/drinking something, and they all run out and do/wear/carry/drink the same thing.
I guess if you are 14 it makes sense, everybody does that at 14. But if you are an adult and you rely on these spoiled, out of touch people to tell you what is cool then how are you ever going to contribute your own style, thoughts, and uniqueosity to this world?

I do not understand the brain functioning of people that sit at the front of the class, or exercise at the front of the exercise class. Maybe they have bad eyesight or hearing? Whatever it is, I am glad they are who they are, so I can sit, stand or exercise at the back.
I've never been a front of the class kind of person.

Sometimes I leave dishes in the sink and I worry that I will die while I'm out and somebody will come in and see the dirty dishes.
And the unmade bed.
Do you?
Will you now?
Sorry.
The older I get the less respect I have for experts, which sucks because it was nice to think I was surrounded by people that knew a lot of stuff.

Let me tell you about another dream I had because I know how fascinating dreams somebody else had can be.
I wanted a coffee...I went to the coffee shop...I ask for a coffee...dude asks me for my ID...I say I don't have it...he says well sorry you're not getting any coffee then...and he totally ignores everything I say after that.
Fascinating see?

Parting can be such sweet sorrow...or hell on earth. The only constant is change. But because we are always either infecting or affecting others, it is how we deal with those changing relationships that reflect what we are really made of.
All kinds of people come and go in our lives, some leaving footprints in our hearts and some leaving a hole in our souls and/or our bank accounts. So what price do we pay for perpetrating more anger and hurt during a separation? We can make a different choice. We can choose to separate peacefully.
Although each separation is as unique as the individuals involved, the following tips offer a way to leave our relationships with grace and our souls intact.
Don't leave it too late. Take positive action while you still have something to salvage in the relationship.
Focus on a higher purpose than yourself. e.g., your children or world peace. Then keep your eye and heart on the goal. Don't waver from that vision!
Remove yourself from the game. Walk away from the who-did-or-didn't-do-what power(less) struggle. If you have safety concerns while dealing with the other person, contact your local social services.
Treat the other person as able and willing. People often unconsciously respond and behave according to that higher version of themselves.
Speak the truth with compassion. When communicating your grievances, use the sandwich technique: positive (e.g., I appreciate you for this...), negative (However, I feel hurt/angry/disrespected when you...) and always finish with positive (I would like to remain friends/thank you for...).
Take responsibility for your part in the breakdown of the relationship. Once we accept our part in creating the problem, we also have the power to solve it.
Welcome the opportunity to grow. Whether we are the "dumper" or the "dumpee," we can acknowledge that this milestone is an opportunity for a new life.
Say thank you for all that person has taught you. Give each other something good to take away from the relationship. Be specific and be generous in your praise.
Give above and beyond. "Generosity is the virtue that creates peace," say the Buddhists. Give more than is fair or expected or what the lawyer tells you. (If you follow these tips, you won't need a lawyer.)
Embrace the FEAR (Fictional Evidence Appearing Real). Be aware of what your fear is and ask yourself if it is, indeed, real. Only deal in facts, not emotions.
Ask for help. You are probably hurting. The physical equivalent of what you are experiencing might be having your skin ripped off, exposing raw nerves. Get support from counselors, friends, family or strangers. You are not alone unless you choose to be.
Be kind to yourself and the other person. If you are the dumper, you may have being going through the leaving/grieving process for years. If your loved one is ambushed by your departure, give them time to catch up and come to terms with it. Be gentle in all your dealings.
The greatest gift of all in separating peacefully is knowing that although the context of your relationship has changed, you can look back with pride. Perhaps you have inspired others to do the same. Because if peace begins with you, here is your opportunity to bring peace to the world.
by Natasha J. Rosewood
I really could have used this list a little earlier.
I mean "I HATE YOU, HATE YOU, HATE YOU...and let's NEVER EVER EVER pretend that we get along again!!!!" is hardly speaking the truth with compassion or thanking the other person for all they taught me...damn

So what do I have to say?
Hmmm...I guess just a whole lotta ridiculous things like:
I'm a newly crowned Maid-of-Honour. I've never been in a bridal party. I think I'm mostly having issues with fluffing the train.
If you get in a teeny tiny fender-bender on the highway MOVE your car to the shoulder you mope.
I am having a block as far as HNT goes...but I will try to play again next week.
My vacation has been cancelled, so if somebody wants to go somewhere let me know. Even out for drinks would be cool. Or up to your cottage would be aces.
I had a dream about you...you said you were going to call, but you didn't.
I had a dream about you...I haven't seen you in 15 years...but in my dream it felt like just yesterday.

Although I'm not an organized religion type girl, it has its merits:
Let go and let God.
An eye for an eye.
Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end.
Among all my patients in the second half of life...there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.
He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses.
Give, and it shall be given to you. For whatever measure you deal out to others, it will be dealt to you in return.
And a special fuck you with sugar on top goes out to you and you and you.

Got I.D.'d again. You may not know how amazing this is. I'm old.
Got my passport photo taken, and all I am saying is if I go missing don't use that picture to look for me or I will hide after I break away from the terrorists that stole me.
Got a job writing freelance for a magazine. Well not really a job because that would pay money. But they print it and I had to send them my resume and everything so that's kinda cool. And being cool is much better than money. *blink blink*

Half-Nekkid Thursday

Mine has something to do with raindrops.
