The girlfriend break-up fight and other ramblings.

And he’s very funny. For proof there’s the mastication IM. It’s going to be a blogging classic.

Happy birthday Esoteric Wombat. Let me say this loudly; I adore you.

I wrote another BIO post. It will probably be my last. I hate how people re-write history to suit their needs and wants. I hate how every damn problem is the baby boomers fault. Know soon people will begin to blame JFK’s assassination on us. Why not? Most of us were already alive.

According to Truthout somebody that I don’t adore was indicted. Yes they are saying that Karl Rove was indicted. Wow, I really wasn’t looking forward to this week, however…I am. I truly am. His indictment and resignation from the White House will be my version of a National Holiday. Of course he deserves it for other things, but no person with any morals would come into a city that was attacked and say that its citizens want therapy…Where was the Bush admin after New York was attacked? Then they went to war in the name of 9/11. Think many people learned from Katrina that I’m not ranting crazy.

I deserve to gloat. Eighteen months ago yesterday I put my blog out there and the personal attacks began. Yes I’m a proud New York Jewish liberal. I have had my morals attacked, my words dissected. Do you understand how sickening that was to me? Yet I still blogged. I don’t go to blogs I don’t like and attack the blog owner simply because I disagreed with their politics and morals. While it did toughen me, it also made me realize just how sick the radical right is. You don’t degrade a persons morals simply because you disagree. Politicians are fair game.

I might expand the girlfriend break-up fight as I have so many years of experience, and much more to say on the subject.

The other half of the mastication IM might have some serious daddy issues if Karl is indicted.

People have accused me of being weather obsessed. Actually it was the worst thing a former friend could say about me when we were having the fight. You know, the fight that happens when one friend is jealous of the other for not living in poverty, having nice things, and not being sufficiently social.

In this case that last meant that I had absolutely no desire to hang out with somebody who changed browsers on my computer to Netscape at a party when I asked her not to, and for many other reasons I honestly can’t think of at this moment and have no desire to rehash. I am older than her so the not living in poverty thing is absurd as it would be even if I were her age, and I shouldn’t feel so damn defensive. Was just going to explain that I worked 24/7 before I ever heard the term for months straight until I couldn’t anymore, but why should I?

If I weren’t social why would I have a party? Just thought of that one, but I didn’t answer her accusations.

Never do in the girlfriend break-up fight. It does usually happen because I have grown bored. I have no defense for that. I have a sort of sufficient number of life long friends to know that I am capable of having friends I can be bored around.

She was into going to bars, getting drunk, picking up men, and hating them in the morning. Been there, done that, boring and stupid. Though I did pick up some men and hand them to her, just to keep in practice. I’m not really the meet them in a bar type. I was and have a whole group of stories entitled “Met him at…”

I’m a glass of wine a month type person so watching people get drunk isn’t at the top of my things Pia enjoys list. Good weather is. Being near an ocean is. Having friends who I can truly communicate with is at the very top. Writing calms me down and makes me understand my own life and other peoples. Love to read. Issues interest me.

This is beginning to sound like a Match.com ad so let me change the tone. Politics is beginning to make me sick. Went through a truly retarded comment exchange at BIO today.

We’re supposed to be on the same side but I don’t take it well when baby boomers are blamed for everything. Especially when the person who makes the initial comment brings nothing to the discussion. And baby boomers aren’t the scourge of the earth. Well Rove is 55 so he’s a baby boomer–but not my type of baby boomer. Yes I classify baby boomers; people I hung out with or would have if I had known them; people I wouldn’t want to know. As with every other group there are many types of baby boomers. Can’t believe that I’m saying this.

We didn’t create all these problems nor did we end the war in Viet Nam by ourselves. Oh I so hate people who refuse to understand and learn from history. Another reason I love the Wombat.

I love to argue politics but I have forgotten how to because most bloggers either don’t use facts, distort them, or don’t say what they mean to say, and then put it back on me. Well, I have been doing this for eighteen months and I’m not bad at arguing.
************************************

That brings me back to the girlfriend break-up fight. Lucia and I used to fight. Then we went through the old shoe comfort stage. Then one of us did something no best friend is supposed to do to the other. But she said she wasn’t interested in him…never believe that.

Then we, well, many things happened, and there comes a point in life when you realize that your best friends have truly become family, and in a world like today’s that’s a wonderful thing.

My cell phone contract is up on the 20th and to make a long story short, on the Internet they told me that I wasn’t eligible for the $79.99 Razor, but on the phone not only was I eligible despite my contract not being up for six days after the sale was over, but I could apply my credit so I’m getting a free phone. I never get things for free. This is very exciting. Of course I called Lucia as soon as I heard.

I’m thinking of going all cell as I think land phones are made horribly, hard to use, and always breaking. Any opinions about that? I will have two always plugged in, so if a blackout happens…though in the last blackout my cell worked. I just forgot to bring it with me, and it took us nine and half hours to get back home from Brighton Beach.

I was leaving for Hawaii in four days and usually wait until the last second to do everything. But for some reason I was completely packed. I have no idea why I added that.

Most people moderate comments. I don’t for two reasons. When I write for BIO or would have a thread on another blog I would have to moderate them. Feel obligated to; in the one above the person annoyed me with a blanket statement and then a series of “I didn’t say….” No, he/she said nothing.

I might be non-linear and horrible at proofing but I’m precise. I don’t use words randomly and I don’t say things just to say them, she says as she writes something incredibly egotistical and not truly relevant to the subject being discussed, moderating comments.

As much as I seem to be in love with my own words and cleverness, I’m scared to moderate my posts. Everybody I know is so good at it. This is very embarrassing. I will end.

First though I have been using bold because I have font size limitations. I use Italics because I like them, though I would really like to use my choices of fonts. I know many people consider Italics girly. News flash: I’m a woman with a very girly side, and I like it.

And Happy Birthday EW. You are so loved. Could teach many people older than you many things.
In honor of your birthday I decided to go all classic non-linear me.
