Ten Things I Learned This Week
For Ten Things Tuesday, I thought I’d give y’all some more important information. You know, ’cause I like you to leave this blog feeling like you got a little chuckle out of it and that you’re a little smarter for having come here.
And so you can say you come here to learn something. It’s kind of like when you say you read Playboy for the articles. Not that you do that.
Ten Things I Learned This Past Week
I learned…
1. I can wear my underwear inside out for half the day before I notice. As @CardsfanClay tweeted: ‘As long as they weren’t on the outside it’s fine.’ Good point.
2. Installing a right-click/copy prevention plugin is upsetting to some of my readers. I had no idea – I swear! I’ve turned off the right-click thingy. The text that used to pop up was my attempt at humor, I don’t actually check anyone’s IP address or send them to the blog police. And NO, I seriously don’t think my stuff is worth stealing, but the thieves aren’t picky, apparently. I saw some of their sites – and while they did steal some top-notch stuff, they also stole pure crap, like what you read here. Anyway, that’s probably why everyone’s stopped commenting on my site anymore. I’m sure it’s not my writing.
3. California is doomed with the re-election of Jerry Brown, 28 years after his first attempt. But then I think it would have been doomed with Meg Whitman at the helm, too. I’m just waiting for Gavin Newsom to continue his move up the ladder to Governor. Unless he screws up as Lt. Governor (kind of hard to do), then I’ll gladly vote for him for Governor in four years. Ok, I’m off the political soapbox. I rarely get up there – it wasn’t fun.
4. Twitter says I’m just like The Bloggess, with whom I’m having a secret relationship. It’s secret because she doesn’t know about it. Well ok, what Twitter actually said is the awesome and hot A Vapid Blond is similar to The Bloggess, and Twitter says I’m similar to A Vapid Blond. Therefore, by extension, I’m similar to The Bloggess. Don’t you love my math? That’s fuckin awesome, y’all! Now The Bloggess and I can get married, in some states.
5. Twitter also said I”m similar to these other awesome hotties: WickedShawn, subWOW, and MommyWantsVodka. Daaaamn, y’all – that’s some fine company with whom to be associated. I’m hella flattered. Although, they might not feel quite the same way ’bout that.
6. In addition to background checks, any potential mates should get brain scans. As if it isn’t hard enough finding a decent guy to date now they need brain scans! WTF is a gal to do? Dr. Amen, the author of the book, said he was going to start BrainMatch.com, a dating service that would match up compatible brain scans. I was terribly disappointed to see the website is non-existent because I would’ve signed up in a heartbeat. Not that there necessarily is a match for my wacky brain.
7. I’m addicted to the Droid cell phone – and I don’t even own one. Yet. *holds out arm, tapping veins at inside of elbow* “Just tie me off, and don’t cut that shit – give me the apps straight.” (Only drug addicts will get this.)
8. And I learned I can’t seem to come up with ten similar things on a weekly basis. For the second time in a row I’ve only got eight. I’m terribly sorry! I feel like I’ve let you all down. I love the theme and will keep it up, but it probably won’t be every Tuesday. I would call it “The Unknown Number of Items List for Tuesday” , but that doesn’t quite roll off the tongue does it?
You guys did great last week, so feel free to add 9 and 10 in the comments. I want you to feel like this is your blog, too. A little. That’s why you get two and I get eight.
I’ve learned this week that I am still addicted to caffeine. I know, I know I’ve had 1/2 cup of espresso cut with 3 tsp. of sugar and half a cup of 1/2 & 1/2 everyday for the last 10 years and why I thought my addiction was gone? I am sure it’s a blonde thing.
Oh and thank you for the shout out…but by the way, The Bloggess and I got married through DM’s like sometime last year. I am sorry to break that to you here. xoxo!
No, say it isn’t sooo! I’ve had my heart set on marrying The Bloggess for a whole six months now. Crap.
But wait – @subWOW said you might be Mormons. OMG! I have Mormon relatives and I’ll convert!
Awesome!!!! I am really honored. It does not matter that Vapid and The Bloggess are married. Haven’t you heard? The rumor is that they are Mormons… Sister Wives Unite!
Sister Wives Unite!!! And we’ll marry you and @WickedShawn and of course both @pattypunker and @bugginword – who totally should have been in my Similar To list, but Twitter only shows four at a time.
I blame Twitter.
That’s just like The Bloggess says! Wow, she’s already rubbing off on me.
This week I learned that Nutella is the nectar of the God’s. (NUTELLA! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!)
I also learned that people hijack blogs, and things I can do to prevent that from happening.
However, I still have no earthly idea why anyone would ever want to hijack a blog like mine with all of 7 readers?
Oh! I also learned from Twitter that I am similar to Duffmano, WickedShawn, Vapid, subWOW, and yourself. I am flattered and awed to be in the company of such distinguished ladies as yourselves, however I can’t help but wonder if Twitter is making a snarky comment about my manliness.
You can have all the Nutella I ever encounter… to me it’s just “cut” chocolate. I like mine dark and pure.
Ah, yes. The “Limit Login Attempts” plugin caught someone just today trying to have my password! Now I wish I knew were to report the f’ers IP addy.
OMG! You’re like us!! Ok, well The Bloggess and Vapid are married, and I heard they’re Mormons so I’m converting so I can marry in, and subWOW, WickedShawn, Pattypunker, Elly Lou are all going to marry in, too (they may or may not know it yet). Then we’ll have our own Sister Wives reality show. AND, since Twitter is never wrong, I think you should marry in, too. So far you’re the only male of the group. In that context, you would be pretty f’n manly.
BTW – How are the aphrodisiac properties of Nutella? We could get you more.
i wear my underwear inside out when i’m behind on laundry. i maintain it’s strategic, not absent-minded.
An excellent plan! I’ll add that to my list.
I learned that while I can fit my entire fist in my mouth, it’s better to do that only after I’ve washed my hands.
That’s oddly erotic. Except the dirty hand part. When we’re married, will you teach me how to do that?
This week I learnt that if you don’t typically drink shooters 6 is a lot.
I also learnt that when I go to bed in a foggy blur of drunkenness I will wake up cuddling a vibrator.
LOL! I bet vibrators cuddle well: no snoring, no stealing the covers, no hogging the bed. And if you left it on the vibration would make a vibrating bed, like they used to have in Motel 6. I loved those vibrating beds!
Hmmm, I think it’s time for an upgrade for me! 🙂
I learned that Twitter knows how to pair me with hotties! Tom is way behind on the Nutella! (where the hell have YOU been, Tom???) Elly has tiny fists, but clean hands. Patty loves my No Panty Days!! Vapid didn’t invite me to her wedding!!(not nice, Vapid, not nice!) ToyWithMe is my hero!
Yay Twitter! And we’re all getting married! You have to be there because you’re one of the brides.
#9 I’ve learned Cookie Monster cupcakes rock. #10 that I could go 1/2 a day with my shirt on backward and no one said anything. I asked my soon-to-be-wife why she didn’t say anything and she told me she thought I was comfortable with it so why should she judge. Yep she’s awesome…but I did look like a dork.
#11 you and The Bloggess totally rock.
LOL It also says she’s quite comfortable hangin with someone who wears their shirt backwards.
You are too kind to mention me and The Bloggess in the same sentence! Thank you!! 🙂
I agree… as long as the underwear is not outside of your jeans, you’re good.
Also, NUTELLA… I’m sorry that comment totally distracted me. NUTELLA and WINE. Oh Gah… I think I want that to be my meal every night from here until the end of the holidays. Which of course means Easter.
Maybe I’ve been doing the Nutella thing all wrong. I’ve never tried it with wine! Damn. What do you put it on? Crackers? Toast? The hot body of a sexy man like Tom?
9) I have learned this week that GE makes a terrible washer with a penchant for dumping 8 gallons of water on clothes, and then refusing to make another move. I’m in a Dirty Harry-esque battle with my washer.
10) I have learned this week that banks will act as FBI Interrogation officers do when you inquire about owning a home.
*SLAP*
“WHERE WAS YOUR MOTHER BORN?”
“I…I don’t see what this has to do with escrow…”
*SLAP*
“I SAID, ARE YOU A TERRORIST?”
“Oh, dear God no.”
“YOUR HUSBAND’S PARENTS ARE IMMIGRANTS, SO I WILL NEED TO SEE A P&L FOR EVERY BUSINESS YOU’VE EVER WORKED AT, INCLUDING YOUR NANNY JOB AS A 12 YEAR OLD.”
“Please, please let me be. Those boys are in high school now. Please…”
I wonder if GE made my cell phone.
Yes, and don’t ever tell banks you have self-employment income. They count that as a negative. I can afford a shoebox, but they downgraded me to a matchbox-sized loan for having MINUSCULE self-employment income.
