I had a interesting weekend. After working through a few kinks with my forum software, I decided to go out for a while. I text messaged a friend to see if he was going and he said that something came up and he couldn't come. Well, I guess I was going to be on my own yet again. But that's ok; as long as the beats the DJ are playing are cute, I should be fine.

Well A little while after getting there, I saw another friend and hung out with her. The crowd starting to get a bit larger and I danced with a few friends then walked around, avoiding the trolls that looked at me with "hungry eyes".

I then ran into my friend that said he couldn't come. Well it was a good thing I didn't make my plans dependent on him or I would have been in trouble! After teasing him with the text message he sent, we hung out.

He was dancing with his boyfriend and I guess his boyfriend had a bit too many "party favors" and ended up lightly throwing up on my friends bare back. Ewwww!!!! My friend didn't notice until two other guys pointed it out! A mess!

I didn't see this happen, but they told me about it later. I had to say "Awww, isn't that cute? Your baby gurgled on you!"

I introduced my friends boyfriend as "The Gerber Baby" to a few people in fun! He was embarrassed! Fortunately, it could have been worse. It could have been a guy you just met and liked and while hugging him, you threw up on his back! Ewww! Ewwwwwww!

There were quite a few cute guys... although I kept starting at this one guy's butt... It was BIG! I couldn't help myself! The naughty things I would do with it! He would walk by and I would look down at it? Why can't I have a boyfriend with a big rump? You know I would learn the lyrics to "Baby Got Back", because he definitely would! Nothing worse than having a flat booty that sags in. I don't want to iron my clothes! Give me curves! I want something to grab on to in the middle of the night!

Anyway, that was my weekend in a nutshell. I don't think anything special will be happening in the next few weeks, so I guess i will be hanging around the house or eating dinner with friends.

You know, I've been speaking of my writing for a while and a few people have asked to read some of my stuff. Being an amateur at this, I have to really practice to make my thoughts sound good. ;) I read this for a friend the other day and she liked it. A few other things will find their way into my book, but I figure I'll give you a rough draft of one thing that I like, but I can't find a place for in the book. I figure this will go on my website as well.

Let me know what you think of it.

Pack Rat

I have a really bad habit.  I don't know how to throw things away. I guess I figure I'll eventually need it someday. You know that day never comes. Eventually there will be a nice stack of papers: technical articles, links, special interest stories, etc. I have old disks from ancient operating systems that fill boxes in storage. Clothes that are out of style lie in boxes. I have storage space and I'm constantly shuffling things back and forth from there to my room.

One day, I decided to start throwing things away to give not only myself room to live, but to get rid of things that no longer suit me or I don't need.  So here I was in my room, holding a trash bag, finding out what things I need to really keep, throw away or take to storage. I would look at an object in my room and study it closely. "Do I need this around me?" Most things that I found didn't serve a purpose in my life, so I threw it away. I found a few things that, although weren't useless, I didn't need with me, so I put them in a box to take to storage. I'll review if I need those at a later time, but it wasn't that many items that I had to review. Soon I found there were only a small number of things I really needed and served a purpose. It was from those items that I found a place in my room for.

Once I finished, I found that I had more room to work with.  I also noticed that with the space the useless things took up, better items can be put either in their place or used to better organize my life. 

Something dawned on me as I finished the room. I had completed a physical housecleaning, but I had earlier done the same thing with my friends. Every once in a while you should go through a housecleaning with people you know, especially ones that constantly disappoint you. If you use the same criteria with the people you know, you'll find that they wind up in those same piles: the useless ones that needed to be discarded, ones that you should put away for now because they may have value in your life later if they work on themselves, and the ones you keep. You'll find that the ones you keep will always be small in number.

When I did the housekeeping with the people in my life, something interesting happened. I found that I ended up with better friends coming in to take the useless friends' place. You see the useless ones--you know, the ones that use you, aren't dependable, keep you from your goals and are a bad influence--take so much space in your life that they don't allow better things to get into your life. Once you get rid of them, you'll be surprised that better things come into your life; things that all the garbage cluttering your life kept you from.

Take my advice and do a little cleaning now and then so you won't be a pack rat.
