For a Good Cause....

Skippy has inspired me to blog again.
This blog is called It's All About De but I'm slowly realizing that it's not ALWAYS about me. Sometimes we have to remember that other people are out there, suffering.
Thanks to Skippy, I am remembering that it's my duty in life to serve others.
That's why I'm getting behind his campaign to free Janine.

An adult film actress who admitted failing to pay taxes was ordered to serve 6 months in prison and pay almost $300,000 in outstanding taxes.

Adult film actress and former Penthouse model Janine M. James, also known as Janine Lindemulder, 40, of Huntington Beach, Calif, was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Eugene, Ore.

James pleaded guilty in August 2008 to charges she failed to pay outstanding federal income taxes.

This is a travesty. We can't allow my only lesbian fantasy to go down...and not in a good way.

If everything Obama says is true...we can keep Janine out of the pokey...YES WE CAN!

Happy Happy and all that

Yeah, I'm a little late ringing in the New Year with you guys.

I have been in a blog funk of massive proportions.
I'm reading you guys but when I go to write down my thoughts...well it just doesn't seem worth it.

I have no opinions on current events...I'm just giving up.

I have been reading a lot but it's mostly things I would NEVER admit to.

I spent way too much money for Christmas. I am a dangerous Christmas shopper because I buy one for them and one for me.

I bought a lot of books over the holidays and some I will admit to. I need to log all the new books, I just haven't gotten to it yet.

What I haven't talked about much on my blog is some trouble I have been having with my next door neighbor.
From the moment he moved in, he's been a thorn in our sides.
I have lived in my apartment complex for nearly 10 years and I've never had this kind of problem.
His music is loud, his TV is loud, his video games are loud.

We (the neighbors) have complained to the office so much that they finally sent him an eviction notice.
The problem is, he wouldn't leave.
The other problem is, they couldn't enforce it because of Hurricane Ike. There is no place to live.
The loud bass thumping noise continued.
This time we started calling the police and I'm pretty sure he was issued a ticket the Monday after Christmas. Suddenly, it's nice and quiet in his apartment.
I did get some good news from Santa (or the apartment manager). They were filing his eviction with the court after the first of the year.
THIS is good news. Apparently, all they needed was the police report to prove that it was more than our word against his.

I don't know when this is going to happen and I'm not completely holding my breath because I have a feeling something is going to go wrong with this, but if this does happen...I will be VERY VERY happy.
I feel like this guy has been living in my apartment with me. I feel like every song he listens to, I have to listen to.
When he watches a movie, I have to hear it. When he plays X-Box, I have to hear every freaking down on Madden NFL.
I will be glad to get my apartment back.

I've taken on the near-impossible task of reading Paradise Lost this year. I will count that as a New Year's Resolution...but that's it. No more New Year's Resolutions for me. My NYR is to not have any more NYRs!!!

Merry Christmas

I'm off until Friday so I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday!

Dubya Tee Eff???

It was 70 degrees yesterday! I was wearing flip flops! Today...snow. Global warming, Al Gore??

Daydream Believer

I guess you could say I was straight. I'm mostly attracted to men although I have little "girl crushes" on certain chicks.

Last Saturday, I woke up for some ungodly reason at 6:30am and couldn't go back to sleep.
I got up and walked the dogs, made coffee and read for a while.
By 9:30 or 10, I got so sleepy that I decided to take a nap.

I'm not sure if everyone experiences this but whenever I sleep during the day, I have strange dreams. Sometimes really strange dreams.

On this particular day, I dreamed that I was making out with Heidi Klum. Which would be cliche if I were a man.
And it wasn't like spin the bottle type kissing. We were TOTALLY making out and just as we were rounding third base, my cell phone rang.
It was a text message from Adam.
I don't even remember what he wrote because all I could think about was "Holy shit! I was making out with Heidi Klum!!"
I replied to Adam with: "Dude, you just totally interrupted me and Heidi Klum gettin it on!!"

Damn right he felt bad!

Packing Heat

After last minute grocery shopping and elbowing elderly folks out of my way, I'm prepared for Thanksgiving.
Tomorrow, I'll be cooking a corn casserole made with fresh cornbread and sour cream and a wild rice and goat cheese dressing.
Right now I'm all about the goat cheese. I will eat it with almost anything and LOVE it.
There will be two fried turkeys and one baked, plus all the typical Thanksgiving accoutrement.

This year I'm most thankful for our right to bear arms and to prove it, I'm going to ask Santa Claus for a handgun.

I've decided that a single women living alone needs something between her and a potential bad guy. What if someone forced their way into my home? What will I do, throw my cell phone at him after I failed at dialing 911?
My phone is called a razr but it probably wouldn't cut anyone.

Don't worry, firearm experts, I'll take a class so I won't shoot myself in the foot or other precious body parts!

Now, the real question is...what to get? I suppose I should choose quality over beauty but wouldn't a pink pistol be the cutest??

Happy Thanksgiving!

Confessional

Ok, so I have to confess something...
I guess about a year or so ago I read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.
I was sucked in (no pun intended!) by it. Loved the characters, loved the drama, loved the star-crossed lovers, etc.
All of us at work became HUGE Twilight fans and couldn't wait to read the rest of the books in the series.
Then we tittered like school girls when we found out they were making a movie.

Yes, I was one of those silly girls in line for the movie Friday night but thankfully, I wasn't giggling and woohooing when Edward came into view or texting all my friends, giggling and whispering during the movie. Also, my mother didn't come and take pictures of me and my friends in the theater while we watched the commercials. (?!!)

I judged the movie rather harshly because I loved the book so much. I noticed every difference and remembered all the back stories that you don't get to know when you're watching the movie.
But, for a movie based on a wildly popular book, it was pretty good.
I hate to say this about an actor but I thought Kristen Stewart ruined the character of Bella.
She spoke in a horrible monotone and kept the exactly same facial expressions throughout the entire movie.
I don't know if this is her acting style or if this is the way she interpreted the character but it was awful.
I'm hoping she'll learn some inflection before the sequel.

It doesn't really matter, though. I'll be standing in line anyway.
