I've been a vegetarian for like 5 years. And yesterday I decided that I need to start eating fish. Because I'm trying to lose weight, but all I eat is carbs and I get maybe 1/5 of the protein you're supposed to get in a day. Which is bad. So I'm eating fish now.

But it's such a habit for me not to eat meat that when I had some of this leftover tuna stuff, I was sorta zoning and watching TV and about half way through I zone back in and go 'Oh my god. I'm eating animal flesh!' and spit out the bite I had in my mouth before I remembered that I had decided to eat it now.

So. Funny story. My whole family save me left about an hour and a half ago for Springfield, IL to meet my dad's brother and his kids halfway between us, and since I didn't want to go I was recruited to vacuum the house. Well, something got stuck in the vacuum a bit after they left and I spent a really long time trying to get it out. My dad comes back in some 20 minutes later (must have forgotten something) while I was trying to finagle whatever was in the way out of the vacuum pole, and I made him help me.

Oh, interlude: In the 5 minutes since I went over to the TV to tape Lisa Loeb on the Tyra show for my sister, I flipped channels and saw Cyndi Lauper on NBC and an ad for a Tina Fey show coming this season. LOL at how Cyndi Lauper is all old and still singing that SheBop song. And how practically nobody in the crowd knew the words to it. And Yay for a Tina Fey show. I'm going to have to watch that one.

Back to our story: So he unhooks the vacuum pole from the hose and starts trying to poke whatever it is out of there. By dropping butter knives down the pole. That didn't work. So he impales it on the pole of the mop. And starts using the mop pole to try and knock the stuff out of the vacuum, and it's not working because he can't get the mop pole past whatever is blocking it. He finally shoves the vacuum pole onto the mop really hard, which knocks the big wooden bead that I didn't remember sucking up out, but now the vacuum is stuck on the mop. And we're trying and trying to get it off and it's stuck on there. So he tells me to take it outside and pour water down the vacuum tube/pipe/pole thing so it will maybe loosen up. And so I'm trying again to get the vacuum off the pole and my dad comes back out of the house with whatever he was looking for and grabs it and pulls it off finally, but the mop handle is stuck inside the vacuum. So then we're looking for something else to stick in the vacuum to get the handle out, and we find a fishing net with a wooden handle the right size to fit in, and he uses that to knock the mop handle out, and the handle goes flying onto the roof.

And then I get back to vacuuming the whole house.

And that's my story. It was pretty darn funny at the time.

Seen this one around everywhere, doing it because I happen to have a book on my lap.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag three people.


Okay, so it's not so much a sentence as part of a chart, but we'll go with it.

297.39 Induced Psychotic Disorder (Shared Paranoid Disorder)
A. A delusion develops (in a second person) in the context of a close relationship with another person, or persons, with an already established delusion (the primary case).
B. The delusion in the second person is similar in content to that in the primary case.
C. Immediately before onset of the induced delusion, the second person did not have a psychotic disorder or the prodromal symptoms of Schizophrenia.

"Psychotic Disorders" -- Quick Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from DSM-III-R

So, yeah. I was reading this, though it's for the version 2 editions ago, mostly to compare it to (my knowledge of, as I don't have an actual copy) the current one. And it has a page with the beginnings of two different fics I started writing last year that I found while cleaning my room in it, which is why I had it on my lap at the computer, so I could type them as the paper's pretty wrinkly and gross.

So, this whole smut writing thing? I suck. Horribly. It's kinda funny, because I'm sitting here trying to come up with how best to phrase it, as I can see the entire scene in my head, and if you give me Jennifer Morrison and Lisa Edelstein, I can tell them how to act it out, but putting it into words is hard.

Edit: And you know, I think the english language was developed by someone who didn't like slash. Because my god is it hard to make it obvious who you're talking about. "She did this to her while her shirt fell off of her shoulders because she was unbuttoning it. . ." !! If you use the names it gets repetitive and weird, and if you try to use little bits of description about them too much it sounds sort of cheezy. *headdesk*

Perhaps looking at pictures will help inspire me to get this written. Okay, really just an excuse to dig up my hot pictures of Lisa and Jen.


I hate primary season. I just answered the phone for the 3rd time today and had it be a recording telling me to vote for somebody for something. This time it started with a really annoying alarm clock sound before telling me that it was time to put somebody that wasn't a politician into the auditor's office. Hmm. You're running for office, doesn't that pretty much make you a politician? Stupid republican auditor candidate. Were I planning to vote for you, I probably wouldn't now, just because that alarm sound hurt my ears.

For fun:



And this one, because it's how I've been doing my hair a lot in the last week or so.

Here's my question. Do you call a bellybutton ring a ring if it's not a ring? Like, if it's just a bar or stud or whatever it's called. Because ring is what's sounding right to me.

I love it when there's a good round of Jeopardy. My mom watches it, and I happened to have it on NBC when it came on today and was playing along. And I knew the answers to all but 6 of the questions in the first round. Which makes me feel smart.

I always wanted to do the kids Jeopardy when I was younger, but they never came to St. Louis with their little try-out bus, so I never got the chance. Maybe sometime I'll try to try out for the college one.

Jenny Shepherd is up for Most Unwelcome New Character at the Tubey awards on TwoP. Grrrr. Jenny Shepherd is one of my favorite characters on there. But that may be because I'm convinced she and Ziva had a thing/have a thing/are currently sexing each other to death.

"Twilight" is on.

Poor Kate.
