I love going to the parks. I love anything related to the theme park adventure. But I have zero desire to purchase anything Disney related.

I don't collect anything Disney related. I don't have any Disney clothes (aside from the baseball hat I bought and I only bought it because I forgot mine at home).

The only thing I'm remotely interested in making purchases of are Nightmare Before Xmas stuff, and even then I have to really REALLY want it.

People just make the assumption that, because I have an AP and go often, that if they are looking for a gift for me for say, a birthday... "Awwww we can just get him anything Disney and he'll love it". Actually, not so much! I'd rather have the cash. Or a pony.

Well there ya have it. I've officially come out of the closet (again). :) ]]> Olympicnut http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/832-im-onut-im-not-into-buying-disney-stuff.html http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/822-yay-soup-weather.html Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:22:54 GMT It's finally soup weather :yea: I wasn't sure what I was having for dinner tonight until it dawned on me, it's very fallish outside today.

I mean thousands upon thousands of people all over the country are now jobless. And it seems daily that more companies are laying off more and more people.

Where the hell are these people going to find work? Nobody really seems to be hiring anymore. Business' are failing left and right. People are losing their homes because they can't afford to pay their mortgage. How are these thousands and thousands of people, many with families, going to make it?

It scares me that this is all looking so much like 1929, and that when I'm my mothers age I'll be talking about how we survived the Second Great Depression.

We'll eat lots of canned soup. We'll be scraping every bit of peanut butter out of the jar before we buy a new jar. We'll wear clothes until they can't be mended any more.

For fun we'll stay at home and watch more tv instead of going to the movies or to plays and concerts. We'll have more family and friend gatherings and play games instead of going bowling, or mini golfing.

It's all so scary. ]]> Olympicnut http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/814-really-starting-get-nervous.html http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/795-musing-bible.html Wed, 22 Oct 2008 16:46:17 GMT Why are there no more books of the Bible? I mean I know there's the Books of Mormon, but I mean after Revelation, which I understand is the "end of the Bible" but still.

God did some serious babbling to the writers of the books of the Bible 2,000+ years ago, why isn't he talking to anyone about writing some new books for the Bible?

Did he have everything he wanted to say to us all those years ago? Are there no updates or follow-ups?

And even if god is currently talking to someone and this someone is fevereshly writing everything god says word for word, how does he get his new book into the Bible? Does he go through a manager? Or a publisher?

I dunno. It just seems odd to me that god did all this talking to people who wrote books for the Bible all those years ago, and then POOF just stopped. ]]> Olympicnut http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/795-musing-bible.html http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/793-my-lovely-lady-lumps-check-out.html Mon, 20 Oct 2008 18:15:26 GMT OK not mine, but Alanis Morissetts.

I was watching the Roseanne episode where it's her b-day and they give her the basement as an office. In that episode she talks about how she used to keep a journal when she was younger, but life got in the way and she stopped.

That's when I decided hey, I don't want my life experiences to just vanish into the ether of my mind. Ever since then (although it's certainly not a daily occurance, maybe 4ish times a month) I write down my feelings, what's going on in the world, what I did etc., for posterity sake.

It's hysterical to go back and read stuff. Sometimes it's even a little sad. But overall I think it's one of the smartest things I've ever done. Maybe when I'm gone, reading my entries will help family members understand me a little better. ]]> Olympicnut http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/773-15-years-journaling.html http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/725-september-earth-wind-fire.html Sun, 21 Sep 2008 15:22:02 GMT Do you remember, the 21st night of September?

Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember, how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember, how we knew love was here to stay

Now December, found the love that we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember, the true love we share today

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days[/FONT][/COLOR] ]]> Olympicnut http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/725-september-earth-wind-fire.html http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/720-ugh-allergies.html Fri, 19 Sep 2008 22:07:57 GMT :botox: My allergies have been jacked up the past few days.

My allergies have been jacked up the past few days. Really REALLY bad. I love autumn and all, but this is the one thing that kills me every year. And this year it has started WAY early :(

Hopefully this isn't the start of a really long, itchy, drippy, watery season. ]]> Olympicnut http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/720-ugh-allergies.html http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/685-off-buttons-cell-phones.html Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:39:04 GMT I really hate that, at least on my phone, you have to hold the button to turn the thing off. Why can't they make it so that when you push the off button, it turns off?

I understand the logic behind it, you wouldn't want to inadvertantly shut it off mid conversation. But how many people's big heads actually push the buttons on their cell phones as they talk? I never have!

Make the off button work quicker cell phone makers! ]]> Olympicnut http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/685-off-buttons-cell-phones.html http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/651-16-years-ago-today.html Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:33:02 GMT I can not believe that 16 years ago today, my dad died.

I'm not sad anymore, I'm over that. But these days just get me to thinking about him.

The good things about him. The bad things about him. His laugh. How his sweaters smelled. The "smile" tan lines he'd get on his belly because of the way he'd sit outside tanning (which I actually inherited if I sit the same way in the sun :lol: ).

I think about all the good he did for the community. All those poor people he helped.

I take pride in the fact that because of him and his team, we put a man on the moon. And a space shuttle in orbit. And that he fought the Japanese in the South Pacific in WW2 (which unfortunately, according to my mom, completely changed him).

I ponder how he'd be with me being gay. How he'd treat Brian. If he'd finally accept that I am who I am, since he never knew the true me.

I think back to how old I was, almost 25 years old. Seems like an eternity ago. Just graduated college and searching for a job. Still living at home. Such a different world.

Do I miss him? Of course! Do I think about him daily? Not daily, but quite a bit. Do I wish he was still here? No. Because that's not how life works. It was his time to go, and his death actually helped make me the person I am today. Sounds odd I know. Then again, look who we're talking about :) ]]> Olympicnut http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/651-16-years-ago-today.html http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/644-hearty-laughs.html Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:39:12 GMT There is nothing better than a hearty laugh.

I just had one and it's amazing how it makes you feel when things settle down. I swear things seem clearer and make more sense after a hearty laugh. Lifes problems seem to not be as big as they were before the hearty laugh.

I think we all need to laugh heartily more often. You know, where you laugh so hard cry and your stomach hurts. ]]> Olympicnut http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/644-hearty-laughs.html http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/620-why.html Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:31:35 GMT Why do people make blog posts, yet not allow people to comment on it?

Are they afraid that the comments will actually make sense?

Are they just poop stirrers who just want to say what they want for the whole world to read, but can't handle the comments that will come back (and that will more than likely be negative)?

Are they that sad that they have to hide behind the veil of the internet to get their voice to be heard, because they can't handle a little confrontation with their views when the majority of the world probably views the opposite way?

It's like poking a sleeping bear with a stick. Then when said bear wakes up they run away and hide in the basement under the dirty laundry :???:

Good luck with that bear! ]]> Olympicnut http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/620-why.html http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/607-what-up-weird-threads.html Sat, 16 Aug 2008 05:22:48 GMT I mean seriously?

Nothing makes me happier than to hear the clicking sounds of tree crickets this time of year. They herald the impending end of summer and the beginning of autumn!! And that makes me happy. ]]> Olympicnut http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/olympicnut/571-tree-crickets-fall-coming.html
