Here is a fun little quiz: Which OS Are You? I took this quiz and the result was surprisingly accurate. (at least the insane part) I would love to know which OS you are!

Drama People you love to hate Banishment Reincarnation Infidelity Sex Religious conflicts Political disagreements Social issues All of these characteristics define and encompass both reality tv and online blogging. Let's face it, real people make the best entertainment. Anyone who has ever read my blogs, knows that I have a guilty love of reality tv . Well, I can now claim an almost complete recovery from my addiction to those shows. I have found the cure to my di...
"Doesn't Blogspot look so much sharper than JU?" "I've been impressed with the features of this website -- it's light years ahead of what I've been using in terms of ease of editing and fun stuff." "It runs a lot faster than the JU forums, too." "I just left a blog site that, like the United States is governed by an out-of-touch rich man, controlled by a conservative elite, and possessed of only one or two voices of moderation and compassion. People who don't toe the party line there ar...
I wonder if he received government funding for this? Wonder what makes this art and not grounds for commitment to the state hospital? A British performance artist has been living like an earthworm for more than week as part of a contemporary art event in England, according to a Local 6 News report. Paul Hurley has been in plastic wrap slithering through muddy holes in Devon, United Kingdom, as part of the event. His series of performances, "Becomings Invertebrate" investigates huma...
It takes a lot to make me angry I rarely experience the emotion True raw anger I usually feel guilty Or blame myself I was wrong, rotten, mean I caused it. Angry Visciously vehemently My reasons are logical Yet my thoughts are not Couldn't logically express them But through the madness, the scorn is righteous My feelings are red, bloody red My heart is black, vile black I feel no love for your artistry Your brainwashing Your enlightenment I am offended Offended you t...

This holiday season, when so many people get hit with the "holiday blues," I will actively alter my state of mind. Reality is perception, and I believe we can consciously alter our perception. Some call it the power of the mind. I don't know about all that but here are a few things that will and will not happen to me this holiday season: 1) I refuse to become depressed. If I feel the evil of the blues sneaking upon me, I will trounce upon it. I will combat abjection with whatever arsenal I...
Why are so many things offending and annoying me today? Either everybody I come into contact with is depressed or angry, or I am viewing the world through depressed and angry glasses. Most of the articles I have read on JU today appear angry or sad or depressed or "doomsdayish." I say "appear" because I am still not sure it was the articles themselves, but maybe my state of mind when I read them. I feel persecuted too. Well, maybe persecuted is a bit strong. What makes people "different...
I think I have experienced my first ever blacklist. I am not sure, since I have never experienced one before. I went to read someone's article (someone I usually enjoy reading). I was reading the comments and was about to post. Then I realized that there was no link for me to comment. Then no link on any other article to comment either. Does this mean I am blacklisted? If so, I have no idea why I would be. I don't remember any confrontation with this person. We do have different political ...
Call me crazy, but I used to think women who watched soaps were sad little housewives who sat at home lonely eating bon-bons. I never wanted to grow up and be one of those middle aged ladies who called their friends to gossip about fictional characters sleeping with each other, dying and then coming back to life, and long lost identical twins. I thought soaps were pointless and for people who didn't have a life. Oh judge not, lest you be judged! I must confess...I am addicted to reali...
One of the greatest things about growing older (maybe the only thing) is the ability to know yourself. It seems my whole life until recently, I strived to find that "thing" that defined me. Usually, who I was depended on what I did. During my adolescents and teenage years, I would introduce myself to people this way: Hi, my name is Heather. I am a professional dancer. (not the adult entertainment kind) During my early to mid-20's, it sounded more like this: Hi, I am Joshua's moth...

Call me crazy, but I think size does matter....especially for computer monitors. My 19" monitor died yesterday. It had been on its last leg for some time now. I whined and complained to my husband to get me a new one, but as long as I could still sorta read the blurring text and the power stayed on (even if it never turned off), I was content. But Monday night, the thing actually powered off. I went to bed with glorious hopes that whatever virus ailed my monitor had miraculously been healed a...
