Unconscious Mutterings Week 219

This meme I picked up from Jayne. It is called Unconscious Mutterings; it is a free association exercise.

1. Freeze :: flow
2. Naturally :: fried
3. Painting :: surreal
4. Merits :: horses
5. Ironic :: totally and absolutely; susceptible
6. Survival :: freedom; entrenched
7. Cow :: moo; blue and gold
8. Anchor :: weigh; particles
9. Sisters :: grooming
10. 70 :: one

This was hard for me because instead of words coming to mind, I got jumbled images. Those are much harder to interpret and put into words. It is too early for my mind, I think. This is a personal endeavor and I am not tagging anyone.

"About Me", 1-25

1. I am 31 years old.
2. My natural hair color is medium ash blond.
3. I have thick and wavy hair that I am always wearing up in a pony tail or twist.
4. I am 5' 2".
5. I am near sighted and I have been wearing glasses since elementary school. I hate contact lenses.
6. My sun sign is Capricorn, Aquarius rising, moon in Scorpio. That makes me irreverent, unconventional and controlling, :p
7. I grew up in upstate New York, in a small town called Duanesburg. We didn't even have cable TV, so I watched a lot of Thundercats, Little House on the Prairie, and recorded movies.
8. I can recite The Neverending Story and A Christmas Story word for word. How pathetic is that?
9. My world view was created around TV shows. Yep, for a long time my world view was warped and skewed.
10. I wasn't allowed to watch MacGyver because my ex step dad was a gun obsessed retard. Now I watch the reruns.
11. I love Richard Dean Anderson!
12. I love Stargate and other Science fiction TV shows like Dr Who and Battlestar Gallactica. I still love TV!
13. I love to read and always have. I like science fiction, fantasy, time travel romance, classics, mysteries, Grisham novels, and vampire novels.
14. My step family used to tease me a lot. They were just like that. I wasn't singled out or any thing. They were just cruel like that to everyone no matter what.
15. I thought I was an ugly child and that no one would ever want to marry me because I was so disgusting. My step family teased me relentlessly because they didn't understand that I hated myself, not boys. My protests only made it worse.
16. I still thought I was ugly in high school when I had lots of boyfriends.
17. When I was 15 our family was uprooted and planted in Sidney MT. I suffered from culture shock! I thought knew I was better than every one else. Guess how that turned out?
18. I was a cheerleader for one year in high school.
19. I moved out my senior year. I didn't get along to well with my mom, but that's not why I left. It was over a stupid guy that I later dumped for some hot guy I met in 94. I almost didn't graduate!
20. I am married and have been since 1996. We met on July 2, 1994 (the "hot guy"), just after I graduated high school. He still had two years to go! We have four children, Austin 95, Tessa 97, Bruce 05, and Brandy 06.
21. What's that they say about rebound relationships? They're full of shit. We've been together for 12 1/2 years now!
22. Bruce is named after my father who passed away about 4 years ago. Brandy is named after a street, and the oldest two after TV characters.
23. Sometimes I really miss my father and I get very sad. Thinking about Steve Irwin makes me even sadder and I start to cry.
24. My dad visited me the other day (December 29th) on my birthday. He came to me in a dream and asked me if I wanted to move to California; that's where I was born. This isn't the first time he has visited me either. I enjoy his visits. It's nice to know he is looking out for me.
25. It is thundering and raining outside right now, and it is distracting me. Chantz really likes thunderstorms. And I do mean that in a naughty way! :p

Ma's got me beat!

I don't know if any of you read follow up comments, so I am reposting Ma's comment today so you can all see that her birthday is sooo much worse than mine!

Posted in my comments on Oh Great by Gail:
Charles Manson and his Helter Skelter murders of actress Sharon Tate, with baby inside of her and other people that were killed on my 17th Birthday, 8/9. I think I'd rather have Saddam killed on my b-day.
Mom

August 9th also happens to be my wedding anniversary! She could have told us, you know!!! My mom also completed her meme she was tagged for! So please go visit her site, Cloud 9, right now- after leaving me a nice comment on this post because I am very high maintenance, pretty please, and leave Gail a nice fat comment, THANKS!

My Resolutions-

I got this idea from Margie. These are my New Year resolutions:

1. too eat as much as possible
2. never do any laundry, dishes or sweeping
3. sit around watching TV all day
4. never, ever clean any toilets, sinks or tubs!
5. frivolously spend all our money
6. never pay any bills
7. read absolutely no books

So, if I resolve to do all of these things, then by next year I will be thinner, cleaner, more fit, well read and financially responsible. Get it?
