Writing Success: Um...yeah. Writing.

Music Playing: Tonight we're over on OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting). I dunno, it plays funky stuff and I was in the mood for funky.

I've decided to alternate "Bizarre Quiz" with "Exerpt from" for a while. I did a bunch of quizzes and have fallen behind sharing them. That said,

Bizarre Quiz of the Day:


You are the typical feminist, depressed, artist.
You go against the crowd and do everything you
can to be different. Too bad noone notices.
Try communicating with people, not just looking
down on them.


What kind of typical high school character from a movie are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

I have no idea what character from a movie that is, or what movie it's from. But it seems to be "Red Hed Phreek" which is about my mood just now. So it works for me.

Mood....Ugly. Just really, really ugly just now. I'll be happy to elaborate.

My DH had to work today. So, by the time he got home, his mood was somewhere between "pissy" and "angry" with some "arrogance" thrown in for good measure. How did I know this?

He comes home and plays this racing game. Now, I know, you're thinking, no biggie. It's a car game. Yeah, but he SUCKS at it. I mean S-U-C-K-S. So, he's now walked into a calm room and has filled it with his swearing and slamming. Both at full volume. "Just run into the tree, idiot!" he screams (literally). *slam fist into tabletop*

Gee, wonder where Patrick learned to do that when he was annoyed with a game. Gosh. I dunno.

He wanders off again and the kids descend. I start thinking about what to have for dinner. What I want is a burger. Some nice, cheap frozen burger rounds tossed on the grill and slapped onto some bread. Nothing major. But, we only have four of those and we're out of ketchup. What kind of burger has no ketchup? So I decide to send Matt to the store and get everything all ready....when DH goes, "Do we have money for that?"

Well, to be honest, I have no idea. I say so. He remarks how we have just been spending wads and wads of money lately. I point out that we have not. He says that it's all the going to the store every day. I remark that we haven't gone to the store since I went shopping. He goes, yes we have. So I check the bank. Sure enough, we don't have a dime to rub together. However, it isn't because of shopping. In fact, it was HIS going over with bus tickets (not that I'd begrudge him tickets to get to work, but it still wasn't going to the store) and that there have been a whopping TWO purchases since I went shopping....one was the bus tickets.

So now I'm a little cheesed off. So I decide he can freaking decide what to freaking defrost since I didn't take anything out, which is why I was sending the kid to the store. (And I wanted burgers.) Petty of me. I still ended up cleaning the kitchen, cutting the roses, making rose water (mmmm) and doing up some dinner. *sigh* Because at 7:30pm, if you haven't made it and nobody has made it, you're starvin' for pride. That's silly.

After dinner, I watch a movie. (Fifth Element, woo!) He joins in. When that's over, he comes back here and...you know it....plays the racing game again. I dunno. Maybe he wouldn't be so loud if he TOOK THE HEADPHONES OFF. Then maybe I could put the headphones ON and block him and his screaming out. Maybe that's just me.

Now for the REAL mood killer.

I made up some new pages for Themiscyra. Map pages. See, Valkyra has remade the town and "outside" town maps. Which is well and good, except everything is square and kind of fuzzy...but I digress. She's got my hut on the other side of town from where I had it...but whatever.

This has been my attitude toward all things Amazon lately..."What-freaking-ever." It was brought on by rather insipid changes that aren't changing anything because nobody can enforce them or what-freaking-ever. Somewhere in the last month I literally threw my hands in the air and just kept repeating, "what-freaking-ever" at everything. There seemed little else to do. Now I can't seem to stop.

So, she's redone these maps. I remember them suddenly yesterday for no particular reason and decide to attempt to put them up. It isn't hard and I accomplish it easily. Then I realize that if we're having these two up at Themiscyra, I should probably put the "area" map and the "asia minor" map up. So I do those, too. Then I'm thinking, well....I should also put up the "world" map and the little villiage-life pictures that I had done on my page back when this was all on my page and nobody cared about freaking maps. But, since it was like 2am, I decided not to do it last night. It can keep, I figure.

Of course, that's what *I* thought.

Valkyra announced it to the tribe. "Look! Maps!"

And now I'm so freaking mad I could spit. Why?

1. It wasn't finished. If it had been finished, I would have advised the Delu of it and announced it myself. You know, since I was IN CHARGE of it.

2. I wasn't asked about it. "Gee, Deo, I see the maps are up. Cool. But you didn't announce it. Want me to?" Since I was IN CHARGE of it, you'd think some courtesy was in order.

3. I was IN CHARGE OF IT.

I am so sick of being RUN OVER and mushed to the side like some piece of trash! Seriously! If this was the first time, I'd probably just go, "what-freaking-ever" and leave it. I know I wouldn't blog about it. I haven't yet, and there have been REAMS to say about this particular issue. R-E-A-M-S.

As far as I'm aware, I'm second in command. Regent of Themiscrya. I am NOT some statue you can ignore. I am NOT a napkin you can wipe your greasy fingers on. I am NOT nobody. I am SOMEONE.

Needless to say, I didn't write a letter. It just keeps sounding awful. So I figured I'd blog. Usually I'd just speak to Kou and leave it...but she's vacationing right now, so that's out. I will be sending a note, I just wanted to get the SNIDE out of the way first.

Well, that's enough of this. It's late and I need to write a letter. ;)
