Thomas Meme

Google Game: Go to Google and type in quotation marks your name and then "likes to" (ex. "Thomas likes to"). Type in the first ten things that come up and re-post in your own note.

Thomas likes to:

1. Say “Don’t say it, think it”. Not really but I might just start.
2. To do a little bit of everything. That's about right.
3. To keep things interesting. Always.
4. To go fast. And I'm due for a ticket *knocks on wood*
5. Make new law clerks watch the 1949 movie adaptation of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. I'd rather make them watch The Color Purple and make them drink some Shug Avery pee.
6. To get outside his comfort zone. Nothing's better than feeling awkward and uncomfortable.
7. Go right and shoot the step back or the pull up going to his left all from three point land. Oh, he so does not.
8. To end her performances. "her"???!!!, ... bitch please.
9. Stay and watch a river flow, even when there are no fish in it. Yeah, cause nothing's more dramatic than that.
10. Likes to look on life’s bright side. "Everything's okay, everything's alright - Everything's gonna be fine..." *what song is that from?*

What Color Traffic Light Are You?

Highways

Idiots!!

Virgina State Police car, license Plate 128-182L, you are a whole ass.

Thank you for driving the speed limit of 55mph along I-64East to I-95South. I understand that your precious cargo you were carrying in the backseat needed to get to his special appointment safely. I appreciate that too. What I don't appreciate is your lack of use of your left signaler to alert me to the fact that you intended to merge into me. Not ahead or behind me, but into me. Thankfully I saw that you didn't even look when you weren't signaling and I adjusted to avoid an accident with not just you but the asshat that was riding my tail. Kudos to your brother in blue that was also carrying precious cargo to his destiny (License Plate 128-181L); he was intelligent enough to use his signal when he slowly merged with oncoming traffic on to I-95South.

And to you, you friggin nitwit ponytail blonde female driving the Volvo at 8:00am on I-64West this morning; You also need to learn to use your signal as you're are merging directly into my driver side door. You so narrowly missed me as I layed on my horn to alert you to the fact that you are in fact a stupid bitch. And no, I didn't find it funny when you waived me off twiddling each of your fingers at me like we were best friends. Next time put your damn cell phone down. I hope you spill hot coffee - all over Ms. Pus.

AND, to Mr. Construction worker in the red van that was following so close that I could count your chest hairs; Next time, follow me home all the way, damn it!!!!

Can we throw billions toward this too?
Well, maybe not to Patagonia, the southern section of South America.

Limerick Contest

The annual Limerick Contest was announced in the Richmond Times-Dispatch this past Sunday. If you followed this blog last year you might recall that I entered and shared my creation. If you want to enter you can get an entry form from the paper or the local R-TD offices.

A Limerick, as defined by the R-TD is a humorous five-line poem. Lines 1, 2 and 5 have seven to ten syllables and rhyme with one another. Lines 3 and 4 have five to seven syllables and also rhyme with each other. The challenge is to create your own Limerick using the at least 2 of the words provided by the R-TD. I'm not sure who the knuckle-head is that selected the words, but I think they have spent too much time sucking on that Blarney Stone. If you're interested in giving it a stab, the words are (and I'm providing the Miriam Webster definitions):

1. Schism - formal division in or separation from a church or religious body
2. Quixotic - foolishly impractical especially in the pursuit of ideals
3. Ablution - the washing of one's body or part of it (as in a religious rite)
4. Tocsin - an alarm bell or the ringing of it
5. Cosset - (noun) a pet lamb; or a (transitive verb) to treat as a pet, pamper
6. Zeitgeist - the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era
7. Stolid - having or expressing little or no sensibility

Are you freaking kidding me?

Entries are due on March 9, 2009

Game on you inebriated word selector!

I did just say that

Yes, I did

I did tell a fellow co-worker I thought he was cute. Now I know I didn't really want to go to work today after a week of vacation. But apparently I was so school-girl giddy about having a week of vacation to myself that my guard was down all day. I was relaxed, not the least bit edgy or defensive. My week was for ME and I deserved it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Apparently the euphoria rolled into today as well. Many folks commented about my more than usual jovial self. As opposed to the often prickly nature I can exude on occasion. But at the end of the day, nothing caught me more off kilter than explaining a situation to a colleague (who is aware that I am gay by the way) and revealing to him that the general consensus about him was that he is cute. Which by, his thoroughly blood red blushing face conveyed, that consensus included in part - me. I'm normally very reserved at work about such things. I have no idea what got into me to blurt that out the way I did, but only as a part of the conversation at hand. But golly...

Well shit yeah, he's cute. And I did have a nice personal vacation.

Vacation Over

I don't wanna go to work!

Hulk Smash!!

Captain Underpants

Yvonne Morris is Captain Underpants of the day!!!

I know I'm on vacation. And I generally don't blog when I'm on vacation. Just a way of taking a break from it all. But Yvonne just needed a "Can't Never Could Do Nothing" shout out.

Way to go Yvonne!

Eye Color

My Eyes Should Be Brown But they are actually Blue/Green

Your eyes reflect: Depth and wisdom Not when I'm on vacation the don't. People find me to be: Loyal, honest, and comforting Until they piss me off. My best trait: I am comfortable with who I am, and I don't pretend to be someone I'm not I so am. And what I am is ON VACATION BABY!! What's hidden behind my eyes: A tender heart Just like the Care Bear!!
