Why are you not going for the person you want to?
Because I'm beginning to believe that maybe if I gave things more time when I feel like I'm swimming in that "crush" feeling, I might actually form a relationship that is based on more than the butterflies in my stomach, and I can have a chance at being happy for a long time rather than a short time!

please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. one-word-answers seldom help anyone out. (:




First Name:
Heather. I don't mind my name much, as mostly no one calls me by it. I used to hate it though. Hated it so much that in sixth grade I somehow managed to convince my teachers for like a month that my name was Samantha. They changed it in the computers and everything. I lol'd. My parents however, did not.

Age:
29. And staying that way apparently. I'm supposed to be 30 in July, but I think I'll refuse. Think it'll work if I just sleep through my birthday, and don't wake up til the next day?

Location:
At my step mom's desk, on her computer, in my parents house, where I'm staying at the moment. Meh. That's all I have to say about that.

Occupation:
Drama Queen. No, really, it's more like, working my ass of at trying to work my ass off. Other than a couple very part time gigs, I'm in between jobs, and searching hard for a new one. Went to a job fair today actually.

Partner:
Needs moar sex. Completely and wastefully single I'm afraid, and barely even dating, if that's still what it's called. Been to coffee a couple times here and there, but nothing worth shaving for. I guess you could say I'm in the search for companionship, if you call looking longingly at cute guys who'd never date me 'searching'.

Kids:
I have two. The boy is 7, and the girl 19mos, and they are the light of my life. The boy is the head of his second grade class at the moment, reading like a champ all of a sudden, after two years of issues with it, and neverendingly suprising me with A++ on his assignments. He's growing too damn tall for my his own good, and the pure boy bug has bitten him square in the behind, and he likes to give me heart attacks on a regular basis. The girl had a rough start, as a preemie on oxygen and monitors, and with issues with hearing and development, but now she's blissfully happy, bubbly, and hilarious. She's talking and gaining more personality by the day, and is a joy to be around every moment.
I believe I'm done on the whole birthing front. It would have to be one very financially and emotionally stable man to come and get me to birth another one, and it would have to come with like some written in gold contract stating that if he left us, I got to stone him or something. Otherwise, I have my boy and my girl, and I'm more than happy.

Brothers/Sisters:
I have a step brother who is 28, and a step sister who is 27. My step brother and I avoid each other like the plague, and couldn't care less about each other if we were on seperate planets. My step sister and I have been close on and off througout life, (the off parts being my fault), but we are as different as night and day, and as we age, it pushes us even further apart. I am beginning to remember what it was like to be the only child, like before our parents married. It was much more fun when I was young and spoiled rotten, now it's just lonely.

Pets:
I don't personally have any pets, but my parents, who I'm staying with, have two cats. They aren't really theirs either, mind you. They were my step sister's, but when she moved to another state, she couldn't take them, and though they were supposed to stay with my parents for two weeks, 3 years later, they are still around. They're both rescues, and their names are Kitten and Felina. Felina is a noisy attention whore who will most literally slap you in the face while whining at you if you don't pet her on demand. Kitten (who'm I've affectionately nicknamed 'issue cat') is an emotional basketcase with severe anxiety who licks herself until bald and bleeding. She rarely lets people pet her, and when she does, you have to really slowly work your way into it, or she's bite you. Hard. I can relate.

3-5 big things going on:

1. My mom had a mild heart attack yesterday. She goes into a specialist on Friday to test and likely plan for surgery to unclog her heart valves. She had me sign paperwork today regarding her 'wishes'. I wanted to smack her. She didn't tell me she had a heart attack yesterday, until today. As the only living family member, aren't I like supposed to be the first one called, since her husband was there? WTF?

2. I went to a job fair today. It wasn't horrible. I got two interviews today alone out of the deal, and I passed out over 30 resumes. I'm really hoping something comes from it. I need a job in a really bad way. CIA and FBI were there. They both pretty much offered me jobs on the spot. "You speak how many languages?" LULZ. They'd just want me to like go undercover and lie to other Muslims, and get info. As cool and exciting as that sounds, um, no.

3. I put up a personal on a website. I'm not naming it here, and it's not one of the norms, so I'm not likely to get responses from like family members or something. (yes, it actually happened, *shiver). I really do wish I had someone to care about. I miss it.


Parents:
I have three sets of parents.

My dad and his wife
My mom and her husband
My stepdad and his wife
Confused?

My mom and dad divorced when I was two. My mom remarried when I was 5, for seventeen years, before divorcing and marrying again. That seventeen year dad, would be my stepdad, who's still a big part of my life, and has since remarried a wonderful wife of his own. My mom ended up marrying again, this time to her long time best friend. My dad married when I was 10, to his loving wife. All three couples are happily married now, and it's all good in the neighborhood. I don't really care as long as they're all happy, but I tell you what, on Christmas and Birthdays... my kids get LOOT! lol

Hey folks,

I know I haven't been on in a while, shit is happening. But, I have a good reason to post right now. My friends just had a baby, and she's not doing too great. Please send out the good vibes. Prayers, candles, mojo, whatever.

Her name is Kaylee.

Thanks!

The last couple days haven't been very good.

I'm not sure how to feel about the goings on.

Too much drama, not enough of anything else.

*sigh

It's been a year. Holy crap.

I can't believe she's 1.

Happy Birthday Molly-Dolly. I adore you.

It was brought to my attention today that I've been a total ass. I'm just as saddened by the thought of truly hurting and disrespecting someone I care about, as the fact that it happened without me even realizing it. I've turned into one of the people who I hate, doing the things that I hate having done to me.

I really hope that person will forgive me.... and call me. :( 

I needz it.

*sigh

So Valentines day came, and I got nothing, as expected. No, that's wrong, little man woke me up with a paper valentine covered in heart stickers with a Dum Dum sucker attached with three pounds of scotch tape. (i'll keep that Valentine forever, *floaty hearts)

So I went to pick up Molly from Idiot's, and when I got there, not only was she not ready... she wasn't even there. Having been sent in a car with his "mom's friend" out shopping. A woman I've never met. After stitching up the hole I ripped him for that one, she at least did come home in one piece, with no help from the car seat that was improperly installed, forward facing no less, in her car.

Went through the motions with the ex in-laws, grabbed her stuff and left. I wasn't even home before he started blowing up my phone with text messages.

"Happy VDay to you too!"
"How come you didn't get me anything??"
"I don't even get a VDay BJ?"
"I'm a poet and didn't know it"

*vomits... profusely.

After ignoring his texts, I get home to find while changing my daughter, she is again in cheap Family Dollar disposable diapers, probably hasn't been bathed since she's been there, and her butt rash that I had finally cleared completely has come back with the force of the exorcist due to his lack of attention to it. Not for lack of effort or information on my part mind you, she was sent with cloth diapers, 2 types of cream, special baby wash, and hand written directions for all of the above!

Upon calling the dumbass to discuss our daughter's care and well being, I was not-so-politely informed that if I wanted to talk about anything any further, then I should be willing to give him the Valentines Day "treat" he got last year. (let's not go there). After politely (hahah) informing him that I would not only be not partaking in lewd sex acts with him, and that if he mentioned one again, that I would start making a record for my restraining order (the record is already pages long, but he doesn't know that, lulz), I told him that if he mentioned sex to me again as a prerequisite for seeing his daughter, he would be immediately forfeiting his visitation.  

I have to give the guy credit though, I really thought that the only thing that would come out of that would be that he would use it as an excuse, talking about it so that he wouldn't have to take Molly, but at the moment at least, he's turned into a downright chivalrous gentleman, texting for permission to call and all. (yeah, we'll see how long that lasts.)

Molly: (from bedroom) "EH EH EH EH EH EH EHHHHHHHHHHH"

Me: (runs into room) "What's a matter baby girl?"

Molly: (huge two tooth smile) "tai tai tai tai" (tai=come, in Arabic, in Mollyspeak=pick me up)

Me: (trying to keep a straight face) "It's nap time for princesses."

Molly: (after looking at me with the "Bitch, you crazyyyy" look) "NO NO NO NO NO" (makes clapping gestures)


It's official. She is both aware, and understands deeply the fact that she is the princess, and has made the decision that when I'm not sufficiently serving her needs, she has the express right and reason to tell me no. Not just no, but NO, five times fast.

I'll say the same thing I did at the ultrasound. OH FUCK, God help me, it's a girl.

According to Islam, Idiot has the right to come and have sex with me, anytime within the next month and a half, at his will, and it will essentially make our Islamic divorce null and void. I assume that this little loop hole was originally made to minimize divorce, and give people time to cool off and think about what they really want. Once again, I'm not sure his simple mind is able to grasp such concepts, and as usual, he's doing it wrong.

Well, Idiot took it upon himself today to send me a text message essentially telling me that if I didn't start acting in a way he considers beneficial to him very soon, then he might be inclined to "force me to have sex" with him the next time he saw me. Upon my response of "good luck with that", he felt it was necessary to remind me that I was still his "property in Islam".

*let's stop and just let that sink in for a second"

After not dignifying him with a response apparently he took my silence for invitation, because his next message held plans for stopping by after work. It would just be hilarious too awful bad if I had to kill him and tell the police he was actively trying to rape me. Not that it would even get there... some of you have met Ray. Who is putting their money on me? Lol.

I woke up this morning disgusted. At 4am, I jolted out of bed, ready to throw up. I was at first under the impression it was because I was sick. Then I realized it as I walked back in the room. It is you. I am completely and utterly disgusted by you. You incite hate to burn like a fire within my soul with an intensity that I have never experienced  before. Your lack of compassion kills all desire I ever once might have held for you. The harsh realization that you will never change has come of late, and with it is the lack of interest in anything that you say or do, that you find so very infuriating. You've brought this upon yourself. I have done my level best for over two years to make your life as simple and pleasant as possible. I have given birth to your child. I have bent over backwards, allowing you every whim, pleasure, preference, avoidance, and mistake. I have not voiced my anger, I have not caused drama for you, and I have yet to truly show you just how very much like other women I can be when pushed to my breaking point.

It ends today. Everything. The rules, your ridiculous expectations, and your "kingship" within my world. You no longer own me. I am not your plaything to use and abuse at whim, and yet expect complete compassion and servitude from. I am a naturally submissive creature, but I am not willing to submit to a man unworthy of submission and completely incapable of competent dominance. I no longer wish to focus on only your needs, while completely ignoring my own, and therefore no longer plan to. I am fed up with the way you treat me, and the sheer fact that when confronted, you fail to understand that you have mistreated me. And, let me point out, before you argue here that you don't mistreat me, and that my mind allows for this, though it's not reality; every single one of my friends, my family, your friends, your family, and even the most random of people, including the grocery store clerk, are all in agreement that you mistreat me. Just for reference, that's a ratio of like, idk, 30:1. (you lose)

I will make my peace today. You have complained for months about the deteriorating state of our home. I have used this as what should have been a clue to you that I'm unnerved, and that I am unhappy. You chose to use it against me, rather than trying to find the root of the problem, and work as a couple to solve it. Within the next 48 hours, I vow to completely change our home, and make it  the way that it was before.... BUT.... from the moment that your daughter leaves on Monday, you have exactly ONE week to change yourself back to the man I once adored, or we are over. This is not an ultimatum, a threat, a way to incite drama, a desire to start a fight, it's simply a fact. I can not live like this anymore, and refuse to force myself to. I deserve better than this, much better than this, and I'm sick of settling. I do not want to wake up every day with a disgust not only for you, but for myself, for allowing myself to live this way.  

If you do not take this to heart, (which I doubt you will, and almost secretly hope that you won't) please understand that I will not only change the locks on this house, I will subsequently drop your shit at your parents in garbage bags. I'm so very serious. I am sick and tired of living this way, and I can't take it anymore. I'm worthy of much more than this. My children are worthy of much more than this. I would much rather live as a single parent/single woman alone, that living as one, and have to deal with you too!

I look forward to seeing if you actually care to change. Perhaps I'm fooling myself. I do love you... I just love myself and my kids more.

Okay so, yesterday was Halloween. Little man dressed up, the weather was fantastic, DH even got off work early, fun was had by all. Not to mention the fact that we got more loot than should ever be in existence in my house. The last thing my fat ass needs is a butt load of candy. So, the kids in bed, and the dishes done, I sit down to watch the news. (which, by the way, I rarely do) I hear a header saying that a story is coming up about a Grosse Pointe Farms woman who ruined Halloween, and instead of giving out candy, gave out insults and tears.

So, I wait. Of course it's a later story. They give you the header so you'll keep watching. So after the random BS that is the news for Detroit, I see a quick vid of a woman in her doorway, passing out tiny mini chocolate bars, taped to a huge McCain/Palin brochure. HUH? So now I'm reallyyyyyyy interested, and wait through the commercials. (kinda like I'm making you wait through this long build up, heh)

It seems that a Mrs. Shirley Nagel, from Grosse Pointe Farms, decorated her house with signs that said "No Candy For Obama Supporters!!! No candy for liars and tricksters, or children of Obama supporters!!!" I thought that was a bit, oh, NUTS. But, ok. Then they start telling the story. This woman, asked every single child, no matter the age, if their parents were voting for Obama. If they said yes, (which I assume most kids would, even if they had NO IDEA who their parents were voting for, or even what voting means, considering they are standing there with their buckets and pillowcases open, and this woman is standing over them with sugar going, "blah blah blah". Kid= "yes, give me the candy") she would put the candy back in her bowl, scowl at them, and say "no candy for you. I don't give candy to people who support a trickster and a liar, get off my property".

WHUT? No, actually I'm serious. It was really on the news.  When the news people asked her why she was turning away kids, she said (and I quote) "Because I said no handouts for Obama Supporters! No handouts for tricksters and liars! Obama is scary". When she was told that "alot of the parents are upset and the kids are crying", she said "So what? Oh well. Everybody has a choice."

These are the people who support McCain. Um........ Nuff said.

I received and verified this warning this morning. Please post this to your own journals. I can't stress enough how important this is. Every one of us either has kids of our own, or at least one person on our friends list has kids/grandkids/brothers/sisters/nieces/nephews. 

HALLOWEEN CANDY RECALLED 
 
Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold Milk Chocolate coins are being recalled due to the fact that they contain Melamine, the ingredient in milk products that has caused many infant deaths in China.  These candies are sold at Costco, as well as many bulk and dollar stores.  Please make sure to check your children’s Halloween candy and DO NOT LET THEM EAT THE PIRATE COINS (you know the ones wrapped in the shiny gold foil) and please let other parents know about this!

Allright people, I know that no one really cares about my posts, cause I don't really post EVER, and I'm just a drama whore who comes here to read other peoples shit, BUT

PLEASE REPOST MY HALLOWEEN CANDY RECALL POST! 

I took my son to the mall yesterday, for the mall trick or treat, and he ALREADY got some of those candy coins. They went straight in the garbage. I only have a few people on my friends list, most of my friends have at least 100 if not hundreds. This is important guys, please! I would hate for someone's kids to end up sick, and get kidney stones and a host of other yuckiness, when we had a chance to get the word out!

You really should know, that you are about the only person who doesn't care what I want. But, NOBODY gives a flying fuck cares what you want. You are an ass wipe with no future, and you're just jealous of mine. I can't wait to tell you tonight that I ACED my test with flying colors, 20 mins before the time limit, with the extra credit, despite you being a complete tool and not allowing me the time to study cause you wanted to look at some idiot's rims.

I understand that at 34 years old, it hasn't hit you yet that you're going to spend the rest of your life working at Big Boy, so you are still okay with your life being complete shit. Perhaps it will be when me and my degree walk out on your ass because I will make 4-5x as much as you, and won't need you anymore, that you'll finally get a life, and quit hating on mine.

Till then, kiss my ass. Even when you don't let me study, I'm still smarter than you.

Yeah, so I got off my ass, told dh to kiss it, and got my shit together to get back to school. I've taken a year and half off already, and apparently, if I hadn't gotten into the fall semester BEFORE FRIDAY, I would have lost my scholarship completely. And then, I'd probably never ever go back, due to money, time, blah blah blah. Now, my first real day back to classes is Tuesday. :)

Dh isn't happy, but I don't really give a damn. He will can watch the kids for 6 hours a week. If I am ever going to get out of this hell that I'm in, an education is going to be needed. I am quite close to leaving the idea of ever having a lifetime partner, and just doing it all myself, and if I'm going to support two kids and send them to college, I'm going to need a job that actually pays me more than minimum wage. *see college degree*

Besides, who the hell takes 11 years to get their BA? Srsly, could I finish now? I already feel like I'm older than everyone in the school, could we PLEASE graduate before 30? Oh, and the Doogie Howser type freak in my class doesn't help. Seriously, he's like 15. Nothing like pushing it up my fucking nose in my face that I've wasted the last decade of my life.

On a lighter note, thanks to my Uncle George for paying every penny that I needed to get back into school. And all I had to do is say, "I really want to do this, and I can't justify not doing it, just because I can't pay for it." Men aren't made like that anymore. Is it still illegal to marry family members? Hmmm...
