Randomness

More things to fling on the heap of "Stuff Jr. High Health Class and Growing up with an Unbelievably Fertile Mother still can't prepare you for about motherhood" :

Stretch marks in some really improbable places. (Discovered while glorying in my regained ability to contort my legs into a position that lets my nearsighted eyes get a good view of my toenails without wearing my glasses.)

Worse acne than I ever suffered at the height of puberty, even when I'd been binging on greasy potato chips and dip. (Already knew it was bad, but wasn't expecting to have it so depressingly and unflatteringly confirmed by the high-quality images taken by Dav's digital camera, when he was taking photos of me and marcus-chan. ::shudder::)

Already have the stretch mark cream, for the ones I could see without looking like a Polish pretzel. The acne treatments I already own are clearly not capable of combating postpartum hormones. Damn. Going to have to ransack Walgreens while Dav's away.


On a less vain note, Dav's going away on AF business in a few days. I'm going to miss him a lot. He'll be back in a couple weeks, though. His mom was going to come visit during his absence, to keep me company and spoil Marcus shamelessly. Unfortunately, her car broke down an hour and a half into the trip here. She's very upset and disappointed. Dav and I are disappointed too, but we're more grateful that she didn't break down in the middle of a storm, or somewhere in the WV mountains. Some of those stretches of highway don't have shoulders, or offramps, for miles and miles.

Not sure what I'll do to keep myself entertained while he's gone. Mark-chan will certainly see to it I have no trouble keeping busy. ^_^; Well, some limited exploring in the car, and a trip or two to the mall and base, should do the trick.

Your 'Do You Want the Terrorists to Win' Score: 74%

You are a terrorist-loving scoundrel who hates our dear leader and the values he defends. There are few redeeming qualities about you. You most likely celebrated when the evil-doers hit us on 9/11, then opposed the Iraq war when we tried to pay them back. You hurt us at every step and cause troops to die in the field by questioning Bush's decisions. You are most likely a lost cause, doomed to be a brainwashed victim of free thought and liberalism forever. No dose of Ann Coulter's prose can save you now.

Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

Bah. I thought for sure when I said Hannity and O'Reilly were 'teh ebil', that I'd get a higher score. ;p Not to mention my defense of the continued need for the Geneva Conventions...

You are a 47% True Southerner

You could probably make it in the "citified south" but not in the rural south. I suggest living in a metropolitan area of the south.

::snerk:: Must've been by osmosis from my (late and much lamented) Southern granma, and davner.

On the one hand, John Kerry's recent verbal gaffe about the intelligence and education of our troops makes me, a good Democrat who had hopes of our regaining control of the House and other good things like that, want to pound my head repeatedly into the keyboard like Don Music.

On the other hand, his stupidity resulted in this, which makes me cackle with glee:

Article says the photo was first posted online by Charlie Sykes, a Milwaukee conservative radio host whom I have hitherto had no use for. I'm now forced to admit he may have a faint gleam of redeeming value.


davner: Before you say anything, I voted Green Party in '04, thanks much. :p
