mandaSMASH's blog: "And now, a word from our sponsor."

Blogs were kinda messed up before. What is this nonsense? CRAP. The title cut off my "Bears. Beets. Battlestar Gallactica." It earns zero Schrute bucks.

I feel as though I cannot type in a horizontal fashion no matter /backspace how difficult it is for /backspace /backspace me to hit enter and not the space bar. Blogs were messed up before. What is this nonsense?

Working from the comfort of your couch can't really be bad, right? Emails and spreadsheets and phone calls sans the career-inflicted stress of 2010. It's a good start to the new year in a lot of ways. Plus, I had pizza for lunch. I'm always happy when I have carbs! Carbs have left an impression on me.. and my thighs.

I think I give the wrong impression online sometimes. This I find quite strange, because I'm a pretty matter-of-fact person. I'm upfront about how I feel about things and what people can expect, or not expect, from me. I'm not here to hurt feelings, step on toes, get involved in your drama, kiss your ass, or play your games. I probably won't show any exceptional emotions. I'm not here to piss you off. I'm not even here to piss off your girlfriend, even though that sounds like a lot of fun if she's a total bitch. Even then, I wouldn't do it intentionally. I probably think you're a good person, at least one that is fun and/or entertaining and/or interesting to talk to, and I might even care about you more than I care about some people I know face to face.. and that is all I have the capacity for. I don't think I should have such an impact on your life, but if there must be, when I am around and have some sort of determinable attention span, I hope it's at least a semi-decent one. I'm a nerd. I do dumb things for kicks and voluntarily make a fool of myself. I say what I mean and mean what I say. It's pretty cool if that puts a smile on your face from time to time. That's really all I'm here for.

Say what you mean, mean what you say. I wish more people were like that. I'm pretty sick of people that say one thing, but then do other things that completely contradict the words said to begin with. I'm not the most trusting person in the world, and saying something that you can't back up definitely isn't the way to get me to believe that you're not completely full of shit. If you're a storyteller, just say so.

I'm watching Toy Story 3. After giggling my way through 1 and 2 when I glanced up long enough from work projects today, I was hoping to end my night in a similar fashion, but I'm thinking that the end to this marathon isn't going to be as happy as it began. Sarright, I'm still a fan even if a movie makes me cry. Yes, Disney makes me cry! Wut?!

Movie marathons are much more fun when you're enjoying them with someone else. Le sigh. Maybe I shouldn't be such a loner hermit, but damn, sometimes I like it. Watching movies from the comfort of your couch can't really be bad, right?

Now that my blog is friends only (so my bouncer bitching doesn't get me blog banned, or worse), you can have these:

I'll probably go public again when I've buried this nice and deep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[That's what she said.]

I guess it wasn't the other status, but about the movie quotes I had posted "minutes" before. Why everything was deleted and not just the quotes was a question never answered, but I didn't feel like asking again.

"..Post your tits, vag and cock pics... but DON'T TALK ABOUT THEM IN STATUS! THIS IS NOT A PORN SITE!.." like Dr. Black says pretty much sums it up. Adult site, what?

The movie quotes were from The Other Guys, which I was watching at the time. If you find "I feel like we're literally driving around in a vagina" and "I hope you like prison.. and penis!" offensive, then we simply cannot be friends. If you're already on my list and find me disgusting, delete me now because this will only worsen with age.

Your statuses (statusi?) are cracking me up, though. You all get cookies! =P

I guess it wasn't about my current status at all. It was the movie quotes I had posted "minutes" before. Also, why everything was deleted was a question never answered, but I didn't feel like asking again.

The movie quotes were from The Other Guys, which I was watching at the time. People that find "I feel like we're literally driving around in a vagina" and "I hope you like prison.. and penis!" offensive are people that I just cannot be friends with. We have nothing in common. If you're on my friends list already and think I'm disgusting, do us a favor and delete me now because I will only get worse with age.

"..Post your tits, vag and cock pics... but DON'T TALK ABOUT THEM IN STATUS! THIS IS NOT A PORN SITE!.." like Dr. Black says pretty much sums it up.

You guys are definitely cracking me up with your status posts, though. You all get cookies if I get an address. =P

This is apparently what happens on Wednesday nights in Amandaland.

Video also in comments.

Even without secrets it seems there's always something to hide
Or rather something that someone thinks you have hidden
Tailoring a story to fit based on what you think is real
Makes it much easier to say goodbye and good riddance

Passing judgments from your big house made of glass
Such a mess made of what you thought were affections
Acting upon assumptions instead of asking for the truth
Your windows like mirrors with disregarded reflections

At first glance you think you've got it all figured out
Looking with your eyes but only seeing what's exposed
The image transforming to mold thoughts made in haste
A false reality born of only what you think you know

This idea of certainty you've presented is lacking
There was no secret, and there was definitely no lie
But when your heart is blind and your mind is made up
Sometimes it's just easier to say good riddance and goodbye

If I have a certain mentality regarding whatever topic you're presenting, chances are that, while I'll generally respect your perspective, whatever you have to say won't make me all of a sudden change my mind about how I currently see things.

Taking the subject further tends to just piss me off. Not even because you're pushing the matter, but because I'm still stuck in the conversation trying to somehow make you understand and field the rebuttals made to each of my replies. I could just walk away. I could be a total bitch. I just don't want to be.

There are reasons for why I feel about things the way that I do, and even though I may not explain them to you - I don't owe you that - there are reasons just the same. I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings in the process. If I don't side with you 100% and toes were stepped on when I wanted to look from a different window, I apologize. Agree to disagree. Move on.

I may be a realist, but I'm still me. You're still you.

While I'm respecting you, how about you do me a favor and show me the same courtesy?

Thanks.

 

Sidenote: I hope you all have a very happy holidays!
