Re: FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

  • Well, I'm a special snowflake because I actually gave birth to my dog, so...
    I'm still laughing at this.

  • jumps in:

    Maybe we should start singing Kumbaya and holding hands so we can all get along again.  I don't like the snark. This is my safe place.  I get enough of that crap at work.

  • I have two things to say:

    I don't have kids, and I no longer have a husband, so my cat and dog are my everything. I understand people who prefer not to have pets, but I don't understand people who do not like them. My XH was a douchehat about animals (he was SUCH A DOUCEHAT about our dog who is now my dog), so if someone tells me that he or she DOES NOT LIKE animals (not does not have animals), I do side-eye.

    Also, THE STAPLING MONEY THING! At my therapist's office, if I pay cash, they staple it to my billing slip for me to bring in to her. WHY?

    Silly confession:

    I get all meh when I come up with a really clever hashtag on Twitter and no one seems to find it as funny or witty as I do. 

    I guess my sense of humor is probably an acquired taste.

    When people don't respond to my tweets I am in an emotional knapsack for the rest of the day over it. 

    I get like that about my posts too. If I post a discussion and no one responds I'm so irrationally upset over it and then irrationally upset at myself for being upset.

    They photocopy it for memberships and donation records at my museum.  For reals.  I keep telling them they're going to be indicted on money laundering.

    Also, @pinkybooklover09 your use of the phrase emotional knapsack is amazing.

    @Pinkbooklover09, the cleverness and hilariousness of your tweets makes me not tweet because I can't live up to your tweets.  For reals, you win Twitter.

    Jen... keep trying.


    HAHAHA!  OMG I'm kidding. You know I love your hashtags. #funnybitch

    Tameka wins twitter for real. I always think "WWTT" (What Would Tameka Tweet) and then I doubt myself because I can't be that clever.

    Tameka definitely wins at 140 characters or less. I wish I could be that funny.

  • Like some others here, the yellow boxes with numbers in them are KILLING ME.

    Dear Nest Gods, can we please get a "Mark All As Read" button or something. You can even call it "Click here, OCD."

    This makes me open so many fewer posts because I don't want to deal with the boxes.

    I have no idea what people here mean when they say "dead" and "junewhatevs."
    If you don't know what something means, asking is always a good way to find out.

    I did. No one answered.
    You confessed something. You did not ask a question. No question mark.
    Totally ancient history after the rest of this entertaining post, but um, no, I didn't ask in this post. It was a different post. Junewhatevs?   :-$

  • Funky- I love that you used occulmency as an everyday term! It's Friday again. We had a late, not-so-great night with the kids last night and DH was kind of losing it. I hate that he gets more irritated than I do, especially when the issues seem comparatively minor. We're both justified in how we feel about our new situation but I'm annoyed that he's home all day again. I don't feel like talking much, at least for a couple of hours. That all said, I'm going back to work soon and it's going to be a nightmare.

    :D
