I keep seeing this one, so I decided to take it meself.

But I take issue with their approach. Why in the name of all that’s holy do they think I’ll do well with someone who’s my “twin”??!!?? I don’t want someone as neurotic as I am! What they say the scores mean:
Rainbow Jello
I had posted this a long time ago on a message board that I no longer participate in. It is INCREDIBLY image-heavy, so I’ve put everything behind the cut. A few warnings – first of all, this “recipe” is INCREDIBLY time consuming. There are 30 minutes of “gelling” time between each of 12 layers. The recipe isn’t complicated at all – but if the jello isn’t ABSOLUTELY firm, the colors will get muddy. . I went back and edited the post for clarity And so, without further ado:
Personnel Problems – a (horrible) poem
When you’re at home alone
for the first time in years
And you get a drunk dialer/wrong number
David WHO??!!??
at midnight
ohshit who’s sick, who’s hurt the phone NEVER rings this late with good news
A panic attack will come.
That’s the downside
of living 1500 miles
from your closest “bodyguard gentleman friend”
who would gladly sleep on your sofa
so you’ll feel safe again.
In with a bang, out with something MUCH quieter.
Ladies and Gentlemen, The First Date in Four Years has left the building
Unfortunately, there’s not a lot to rehash. He’s a busy man and got even busier after we met. Due to technological pecularities, we were only able to converse while he was in the office- with me initiating most of the conversations. I got less and less comfortable with that as time went on – I had promised myself that in order to avoid that whole “He’s not THAT into you” syndrome that I’d leave most (80-90%) of the chasing to the guy.
I was planning on delivering the news in person the next time we saw each other (hopefully tonight), but he whipped out the “let’s be friends” speech first thing this morning.
Hopefully, he meant it.
Dear So’n'So:
Amazon.com – I appreciate the recommendations, but PLEASE. Just stop. I’m buying these books because I’m a student, not because I’m vitally interested in X subject.
TTLB – Yeah, I know. Mama’s Bloggin’ IS a rather lame blog name. Tinklebelle’s Dottiness may have been distinctive, but it’s time for us to let it go and move on. SO – how’s about you find the account in your database (since I can’t seem to get the search string syntax appropriately arranged) and let the whole world know I’m insignificant. K?
Son: It makes me SO happy that you want to sleep in a “mommyshirt” instead of jammies. And that whole “Mommy I can dress MYSELF!!!” ? yeah, that’s all KINDS of awesome. BUT…you really don’t have to show me how well you can dress yourself by taking off your playclothes & putting the mommyshirt back on. Truly. And that whole “pee on the shirt but refuse to change” thing you’ve got going on? Yeah, that’s REALLY starting to piss (heh) me off.
Yarn: Yeah – if you could just finish working yourself into the blankie, I’d greatly appreciate it. I’m tired of you mocking me from the project bucket.
Hackers: Please dear gawd get a life and get over yourself. Leave my webhost alone, and stop trying to jack my stuff up.
Music instructor: Yes, I do realize that you won’t be making a whole lotta money off me. I do apologize for that, but I don’t have money to blow – and I already know how to read music. BUT if you could maybe check your voicemail and RETURN the call, I’d greatly appreciate it. Hell, just tell me when to show up in your office, and I’ll BE THERE.

The downside of changing domain names:
Mamasbloggin. Yeah THAT’S noticable.

Note to self:
If you’re going to build a 2 1/2 hour study break into your schedule, remember to bring your THUMBDRIVE with you.
2 1/2 hours between classes, and I can’t get my work done.

PUT SOME CLOTHES ON, I DON’T WANNA SEE YOU WALKIN AROUND IN YOUR JAMMIE PANTS AND FLIPFLOPS!
