Stuff you may not realize about me :)
by Denise Sawicki on October 19, 2010
I don't know if people realize this, but I do talk, and I do have a sense of humor of a sort... it's just that it's only with Darrell and Darrin that these things come out! It seems my frame of reference for the world is quite a bit different than most people's. I think the live goo game illustrates this rather nicely. Not once but twice, the first "celebrity" to jump to my mind was Bruce Boxleitner.. someone most people probably have not heard of. This was for the Tron question (because I could not remember the name Jeff Bridges) and the Scarecrow question. In the Irish section of the goo game, the top Irishmen I could think of were Dylan Moran and Aidan Gillen.... granted I probably could not come up with even these names on the spot. The Irish accent is so cute though. That's my new favorite accent. I think also in the Irish section someone mentioned something about the size of Bono's house?? This would have been a prime opportunity for me to say, "He has the world's largest collection of hatchbacks" but I did not, because nobody would know wtf I was on about. :P Anyway... the trip was kind of an experiment in whether or not the Prozac can induce me to act like a regular human being. The answer being... not really. But because of the Prozac I will just skip blithely on not caring what a weirdo I am.
edited to remove someone who is not even irish hehe

You're definitely different than most of the knuckleheads I hang out with but weirdo is a bit much. And you ate the alligator! How cool was that? Just as well you didn't try the conch fritters as they were a bit fishy.

The alligator was fine. I guess it is something to do just so you can say you did :). I am sure the conch fritters wouldn't have killed me or anything but I figured I should let someone have them who really had a craving for them. I maybe should have ordered grouper with you guys. According to my research, it is a fish that people who don't like fish, like. But my popcorn shrimp were delicious and I can't seem to resist being a *little* bit economical, if I can get a giant pile of popcorn shrimp for the same price as 6 large shrimp then why not? haha

Denise, you mentioned feeling a cold coming on when you left. Did that happen? Mine set in last night, and I've been asleep for most of the last 30 hours. I'm still nursing a fever.

Well it was pretty nasty on the plane when I left and my ears were plugged up the rest of the day (and I slept a lot) but it has been a lot better since. Still a mildly stuffy nose and my hearing is a bit weird. Perhaps this is too much information ;)

I myself am tip top. Should I feel bad about that? But I didn't go in the pool. The plot thickens.

Frustrated
I just get so frustrated. I want my husband to be happy but the things he's decided will make him happy are completely out of our control (success at music). I wish something good would happen for him finally. Go »Now I remember why I live in North Dakota
It got hot all of a sudden the last few days, or what passes for hot in ND in early April (50s). It's like a spring break video out there, people prancing around in bikinis yelling "woo"... OK not quite but there is a marked change in demeanor. Go »goodbye dialup...
So, I've finally got some form of high speed internet though it's probably the slowest high speed they make (512 k). I like it though. It is so much better than what we had before. Go »D&D update
The guys made it to 4th level and then we added 2 new characters. We had a dragonborn warlord and an elf ranger, at 4th level we added an eladrin wizard and a dwarf fighter. Darrell is playing the fighter and warlord, Darrin has the ranger (though he's not exactly into the game so we're lucky if we're able to call him to the table to actually make his dice rolls) and I got the wizard even though I'm DM :-P.

We found a big 1.75 liter bottle of Absolut Apeach for $10 ... We didn't realize what a great special this was until we saw that the little 0.75 Go »
