I slept all day because I felt like shit!!

I wanted to shop Black Friday..but alas, lack of funds and illness fucks everything up.

Thanksgiving..yay. I went down to Grandma’s house. I love it there. We had turkey, ham, green bean casserole, tequila berry salad, potatoes and gravy, squash, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, and stuffing. Then we had lefsa, fudge, pies, and cake. And wine. Can’t forget the wine :p

That was my dad’s side of the family.

Then I went to my Aunt Laurie’s house, and she picked up my twin cousins.

We went to the buffet at Treasure Island.

My grandma, grandpa, Peggy, my sisters, mom and step dad were already there. Mom was gambling and drinking, big surprise. I only lost twenty bucks. They had crab legs at the buffet!!! omg yum. The twins had huge platefuls of it. Then we sang happy birthday to them because it was their bday Friday. They got embarrassed. Then we went bowling!!! Xtreme bowling, how fun is that?!

Then Friday I literally slept all day. I woke up at 9:30 in the morning because my grandparents came up to see my new place. Then I went to bed til 3:30 in the afternoon. Went to Burger King for something to eat. Ate. Went to sleep until about 9:00. I think I slept through the worst of my cold though, which sounds good to me!! I’ll have to go out today sometime to catch Target’s two day sale!!!

I’ve got my Cities 97 CD Sampler!!!

I got off of work at 3:00 this morning. I went home and watched a couple of episodes of The L Word. I left my house at 5:15, and got in line outside at Target at 5:45. I didn’t think about how cold it was going to be!! Thankfully, I had a blanket in my car. The lady just ahead of me said she’d hold my spot while I was gone. This is where Minnesota Nice comes in folks! When I got back, the man just behind me gave me some hand warmers! And the lady told me I could go to my car anytime to warm up.

The people in the front of the line had been there since 3:30. Well, it was the coldest two hours of my life. I forced myself to tell myself how cold I wasn’t. Stop shivering. I focused on the music from my Ipod. I watched people line up around the store. The wind was so cold it cut through the layers of clothes like they weren’t there, licking my skin with it’s cruel tongue. It seemed like the blanket didn’t offer anything. At about 6:45, I went to my car for 5 minutes to warm my toes.

Dawn starts breaking from the clouds. The sun makes an appearance then disappears behind the thick clouds.

At 7:00, someone from Caribou Coffee handed out coupons for $1.00 off any coffee. At 7:30, my big toes were numb. They started handing out the slips of paper that guaranteed a CD. There were people that were at the end of the line that did not get one. The Target I was at had 276 CD’s available. I had number 80.

Things like this bring people together for a good cause. Strangers stand in line next to each for a couple hours strike up conversations. A man had steel knee replacements. A lady just had her 11th child awhile back. The people at the front of the line are there every year at the same time, waiting. A woman was waiting in line in nylons and a skirt. High heels. And I was freezing in my jeans, hoodie, and sneakers. Extra thick socks. I thought they’d have to amputate my frozen big toes. They are ok.

I’m going to sleep now. =]

To this day, I still don’t know what drove me to do it. But I can say, it was both one of the worst and one of the best decisions I have ever made. Or, right decision, wrong time? Whatever. The point is, I did it. I kissed her. I kissed her, then said in a sultry voice “I’ll be right back.” Well, the fact of the matter is, I really had to pee. Because, you know, beer does that to you… you gotta pee. So when I came back to the table, she says, “You know you just kissed me, right?” I said, yes, I did know that. And I smiled. Well, what happened that night.. is not what you think. I didn’t go home with her that night. I did make out with her though. And she told me I was a very good kisser. I said Really? I’ve never been kissed before. And she almost didn’t believe me. But it was the truth.

Well, there was another woman there that night. She was married, but she had an obsessive crush on the woman I was making out with. She called her after we all left the bar, because she thought I went home with her. It wasn’t until a couple weeks later that I slept with her. It was a drunken experience, but I didn’t completely forget it. We had gone out bar hopping, and I was too drunk to drive home, so I had to stay at her house. She’d made pizza, and I was eating a piece and watching tv, when all of a sudden, she pulled me off the couch and started kissing me. And more… then we went down to her room. The rest is history. We had sex one more time after that, and we weren’t drunk that time.

Well, it was the best decision because I discovered my love for women. It was the wrong decision because she was a casual sex kind of person. I discovered I’m not.

This is my coming out story. I was watching The L Word last night, and it was an episode that they were all sharing their coming out stories, so I’ve finally written it down.

I still haven’t told everyone that I’m bisexual. Well, I might even be a lesbian… due to my inability to have sex with men. I have to be drunk to let a man touch me. My mom knows, but my dad doesn’t. My mom thinks it’s experimentation. It’s not. I care more what my dad thinks. One of my sisters knows (I have three). Most of my friends know, and most of the people I work with know. Only one of my extended family knows, one of my aunts. She’s bisexual too.

I went on the computer to do my homework…but that abruptly ended when I saw my Playstation… damnit.

So the Vikings are starting their game…I have their defense for my fantasy football league. I’m 7-3 in my league. This week I’m playing someone who’s 3-7, so I’m excited…I think by tomorrow night I’ll be 8-3!! Winner takes over $300…but our league is pretty small….it’s only 8 people.

They’re playing Christmas music on the radio stations. I’m excited for Christmas this year. Last year I never got in the “holiday spirit”, but it’s been snowing a couple times already this year, and that helps. It hasn’t been sticking to the ground for long, but it will. And Thanksgiving is coming up. It won’t be quite the same this year though. There won’t be the annual tradition of listening to Alice’s Restaurant on the way to Grandma’s. There will be, but I’ll be alone in the car. But it’s ok…

Damn Vikings. Well, at least I’m not a bandwagon Viking’s fan…and we have AP.

They don’t play those funny “must be football season” commercials anymore from that one airline company. Every time I saw those I laughed my ass off!

Childress needs to be fired IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!

I find an actor’s methods of coping with saying the wrong lines hilarious. The mouth gestures, and “oo-aaa-eee” and “ahh-ahhh-laala”. And all those things. Thanks YouTube for bringing these insights to my computer. =]

… so maybe that’s why I’m now living with an ex lover. She’s not the only one who lives here. Another one of my friends lives here…but she’s not an ex lover. I don’t know if it’s a good idea, but it’s done. Susan and I have been here for three weeks now. Becky and the children moved in two weeks ago. And so far, we’ve had two drunken weekends. Ahh yes, it’s the time for Hangover Sundays. Thank god Cities 97 plays Acoustic Sunrise, the best hangover music ever. And if your hangover lasts until the evening hours, they have Acoustic Sunset Sunday nights. Their annual Studio C album comes out next week, at Target stores only. I’ll be in line, don’t think I won’t be. Two discs of exclusive acoustic music. Hells yes. Acoustic Sunrise ends at noon…so if I wake up at 1, I’m fucked! Until I get the cd…I can’t wait.

I think our house is going to be a party house…after the Saturday night of two cases of beer, a huge bottle of Jage, a bottle of Hypnotic, 6 dozen jello shots, eight cans of Monster, and different bottles of vodka being brought by guests…yes. A party house.

I finally feeling like I’m growing up. I’m finally out of the ‘rents houses. No one to depend on. It’s liberating to be out of the scrutiny of parents. I’m on my own.

I’m going to pursue my writing career.

I painted my walls. Dark blue….sometimes they look black. My curtains are a dark burgundy. Suede. My duvet cover is black. I will soon have dark red sheets and pillowcases. Thank you, Linens N Things, for going out of business in a time when I need to express myself with decor.

I can’t wait to buy a house. Two years, I think. I can picture my color schemes in my head. Dark mint green walls in the kitchen, burgundy in the living room, dark yellow for the office, and I think I’ll keep the dark blue walls for my bedroom. Maybe. Well, that’s how I see things now. But things change. We’ll see.

I don’t have the strength for deep conversations right now…it’s time to go to bed.

I can’t wait to get off work tomorrow night and drink my beer.

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong!


1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
