  A Mike Myers moment...

  late last night, i made a grilled cheese sandwhich and stuck "wayne's world" in the vcr.

  i've seen it dozens of times, but it never stops being funny!

  and i thought about how clever mike meyers is to come up with such a great character like wayne campbell... then i thought about austin powers and the fact that part three is coming out soon!

  im just wondering what kind of work people who post here do.

  i believe amazing is a mechanical engineer (like me), xena is an office manager and you know washes windows.

  and when youre not working, what does everyone do with their free time now that they dont have to knock on doors when the weekend rolls around.

  i work at a corporate office in data entry... basically i type in numbers all day, but i get to search the web and listen to my headphones, so it's not really all the bad.

  in my spare time i play guitar, go to alot of movies, read and write, hang out at poetry readings and go to see blues and jazz bands in the area.

  mike meyers rocks (shwing! yadda! yadda!) anyone else agree?

  Feeling helpless about....

  by jaccilynn in

  the fact that i am moving back in with my parents.

  my entire immediate family is inactive (mother, father, brother), and they love me and accept the fact that i am no longer a part of the wts (atleast they say they do, and i believe them).

  and they're not really the reason i'm feeling so scared, terrified to move back in.

  thanks for the ideas. staying busy is important, and deffinitly a necessity.

  and i never plan to stop seeing MY friends. the majority of them have been in Paris for the past three weeks, and it's lonely here with out them. that's probably the reason behind my spending extra time with my cousins, i'm sure i'll be less freaked out when they come home.

  Surefire Ways To Know You're A Woman...

  you are a bitch.. when asked 'is something bothering you?

  ' reply 'no' then get pissed off when you are believed.. become attracted to someone because he is outgoing and loves parties, start dating him, and immediately expect him to stop this behavior... always take an hour longer than promised to prepare for the evening.. always hide very important events in very unimportant terms so you can have something to be pissed about when your boyfriend declines because he has pressing business, i.e.

  you say 'it's no big deal, but i was wondering if you would like to visit my parents with me if you are not busy this weekend.

  bigfloppydog: phil collins is stalking me. everywhere i go... no matter who's car i am in, no matter where we're driving, no matter what store i go into or what "hits of the 80's, 90's and today" radio station i turn to... he's there...

  i'm thinking of getting a restraining order.

  anyway, right now i'm listening to the diva from the fifth element soundtrack.

  Individual Differences

  by larc in

  i guess i just gave you a blinding glimpse of the obvious.

  now, as a witness, there was no room for individual differences, or individual talents.

  there was no reward for musical talent, academic talent, athletic talent, or any other talent you can think of.

  i'm so glad that this was brought up because it's something i think about all the time.

  the WTS puts so much emphasis on being ONE of a WHOLE, instead of an individual... it's all about conforming to be something else. and realisticaly, it's impossible. no two people are the same, they may have the same talent, interest, quirkiness, what have you, but people are not cookie cut outs.

  i remember when i got my first guitar, when i was 14... the woman i was studying with told me not to let it distract me from personal study and meetings... WHY NOT? why do those things have to be important to me, just because they're important to you? it was the societies brainwashing mentality to have her tell me to not get caught up in a hobby, something i ENJOY doing, and am now somewhat decent at.

  but that doesn't matter to them, because it's not service, or a bible study, or meetings. i was never encouraged to persue any of my hobbies while i was a part of the WTS, they were deemed "unimportant" in their eyes. now that i think about it, everyone who told me that my hobbies, dreams were unimportant are probably (subconsciencely even) jealous that i can persue them and not feel guilty.

  ugh, glad i don't have to deal with that anymore.

  my entire immediate family is inactive (mother, father, brother), and they love me and accept the fact that i am no longer a part of the WTS (atleast they say they do, and i believe them). and they're not really the reason i'm feeling so scared, TERRIFIED to move back in.

  my uncle and his family live next door to my parents, and i mean RIGHT next door ( i can look out the kitchen window into my cousin's room). my aunt and younger cousin, Gina, we're my only spiritual family for years. while i was active, i had major issues with my parents inactivity, and i used it against them many, many times. i feel so guilty about that now, even though, looking back i know that it was my parents that drove me to latch on to religion so tightly because of events when i was younger... regardless, i'm so scared to live next door to my aunt and cousins again. i have pretty much avoided them since i moved out. i'd stop in and say hello ocasionally, but consciencely refused to have a relationship with them because they are jw's. awhile ago, though, i was thinking that my not having a relationship with them because they are jw's is just as bad as them "disowning" me if i got df'd, so i started coming around their house more, hanging out with my cousins, going to movies... even staying for a bible study once (which led to a near nervous break down and three days of crying, i should never have gone in the first place). anyway, i started re-establishing a relationship with them, knowing that i can always go home if conversations go way out into left dogma field. but i realized last weekend when i was remodeling my new room at my parents house... this is my home. this is where i have to go. they're right next door. and they have had a BIG influence on me, and i'm afraid they're going to bully me into going to even ONE MEETING, guilt trip me, intimidate me somehow and i don't know how i'm going to handle it. i couldn't even handle an informal night with "congregation kids" at their house. but they got me to go, and i'm afraid that i'll cave... and do what they want...

  i wish i had another way of explaining how i am feeling, but the only word i can use is SCARED. i am so scared to be back in that house. those houses. i don't know how to maintain the person i am now when i am around them. i'm an extremely emotional person. but i've learned and have grown and experienced alot in the last year, and feel stronger then i was. SO MUCH STRONGER. but even since i've started communicating (and it's not even real communication, it's more just being around them) with my family again, i can feel the strength leaving me! it's scaring the shit out of me. i feel like i'm loosing a piece of myself that i have been so happy to attain while living on my own, all this just from spending occasional hours here and there with them. i can't imagine how i'll feel when i move back in.

  i'm pretty much S.O.L. with the living situation. my roommate is moving back to jersey, and i was saving up to get my own place, but my car died, so i have to use whatever money i have to get a new one... i'm just feeling shitty and helpless. i don't know what to do. i can't even be myself around them... that's no way to live a life. but i can't avoid them now, either.

  ok, i'm too sad for words right now, i need to go do something, i just wanted to get that out.

  Eminem

  so whats the opinion around here - jokester or demonic psycho?

  i've always appreciated some good story telling and gangsta rap to counter my usual music tastes (indie and 60's music).

  pretty funny guy, that eminem is.. i'm sick and tired of hearing things from uptight-short-sighted-narrow minded hypocritics.

  i'm not a big rap/hip-hop fan. but i really like eminem. i listened to his new album, just for the hell of it, and if you look past all the cocky, rude, bullshit... he has a sometimes humorous, sometimes impressively political way of looking at things. his song "white america" discusses terrorisim and the possibility of a draft, and he touched on alot of issues that my firends and i sit around and discuss... anyway, i don't think his music is appropriate for young children, but he talks about some interesting things.
