General Updates

Wow...been awhile, hasn't it? I guess I haven't had much to say lately. I dunno. Maybe I'm just too lazy to type. Who knows.

So let's see what's been going on...

My sister just graduated from college! First one in our family to do it and she did it days before her 52nd birthday!! Rock on, Annie! I'm wicked proud of you!

My niece got MARRIED! Talk about making me feel old. Didn't even get to enjoy the wedding cuz they went down to City Hall to get married and didn't bother telling anyone but Annie for a month or more. Don't even get me started on that! They know that Auntie's feeling have been very hurt and there's a lot of butt kissing left to do. ;) It's just seems so crazy. She's 19 and it doesn't even seem possible. I wasn't even 21 yet when she was born. Now she's married and I'm creeping up on 4...uh...29.

The Amoskeag River Rats have finished in 2nd place in their league. Go Rats!! I'm already looking forward to next season. Must be the Canuck blood... hehehe

The Amoskeag Anthrax was in 3rd as of last night. What can I say? It's a killer team! ;)

Speaking of baseball...since we last spoke, Johnny (He's Dead to Me) Damon made his return to Fenway wearing his Skankee pinstripes. He got some cheers and I'll even admit he deserved them. He was a big part of our 2004 victory. But once the crowd gave him the cheers he deserved, they made it clear that he was now one of THEM and not very welcome at all. The first time he took the outfield, people were actually tossing money at him, since money is sooo obviously what it's about. (Rolling my eyes) People had "Johnny Demon" signs. And signs that said "Oh, Johnny...ANYWHERE but there!" Heheh it was great.

I bought a new tee for the occasion. It's navy...the lettering is white with pinstripes. On the front it says:

NO HAIR

NO BEARD

NO SOUL

And on the back it has his number 18 and where his name should be it says:

NO LOYALTY

That's part of my official attire when we play the Skankees.

I have a new obsession...Yahoo Answers. Have you checked it out? OMG! Too funny!! You can post questions in a variety of categories and people answer them. I haven't asked any, but damn, I'm having a great time answering! I think I missed my calling in life. I coulda been an advice columnist! A little more sarcastic than Dear Abby. A bit bitchier too, no doubt. But I'm having fun. Some of the questions are cool...who's the best guitarist? Your favorite 1 hit wonder? These lyrics are driving me nuts! what song is this?! ... That kinda thing. Some are obviously kids ...How do you french kiss? How can I make this boy like me? My math teacher is a jerk! What do I do? ....

There seem to be a lot of "My boyfriend and I had sex...(insert a strange array of circumstances and various birth control methods used here) ...could I be pregnant?!" Why the hell are you asking me? HOW would I know that? Haul your lazy ass to the pharmacy and buy a test!!! DUH!

And of course, some people use it as a way to spread hatred. Those are annoying, too. There was one guy on there yesterday posting pics of guys that had apparently been convicted of rape...they served time and had been released. Anyway, this guy was looking for people to go kill them. He had names, addresses, aliases. It's kinda frightening, really.

Anyway...that's the latest. We'll talk soon.
