Am I blue...

I guess since I'm sick I'm feeling a wee depressed. So here I am, literally blue.

The Role of Calibos

Ok... so 'C' made an awesome suggestion of having Ron Perlman (Hellboy) play the role of Calibos in the remake of The Clash of the Titans. I think that's a very good suggestion. Yay 'C', you done good buddy.

What? HuH? I can't hear you!

So I must have slept on my left side all night because all the sludge has moved into my left ear, and I can't hear a damn thing out of it! Ack! Ack!

I'm suppose to have dinner tonight with someone too! Damn it all! I really, really pray that I am better tomorrow because I can't miss the party! Hell, even if I'm not 100% I still want to go, but would hate to pass the crud around. I really really want to see my friends. I’ve already missed hanging out with them… I don’t want to miss anymore!

Let’s all chant 3 times “Robin will get better by tomorrow!” I’m not asking for a miraculous thing here… just want to feel better, and be able to full hear out of both ears!

Work Work

Yes, I am here. This morning’s meeting was cancelled because both the marketing directors are sick! The crud is going around… yeep!

I’m here to do a few things then take off back home… to rest some more.

Late Night Blogitory

Well last night I posted a NyQuil high scribble at TC under the muses thread in the message forum... I posted this one there too, but though I'd post it here.

Thanks to NyQuil... the nighttime sniffling, sneezing, sore throat, couching, aching, stuffy head, fever, sleep better to feel better medicine. (Yes, that's what it says on the label folks.)


How fair thee ol’ devious gent,
whose sweet nothings have hours spent
wooing that of a clever young maid
who in turn has a garter marked with players played.

Say you be that of valor and truth
with sly wit and uncanny couth?
All whilst she flutters her eyelashes to beguile
and lures you hither with a half-cocked, innocent smile…

How well these two shall get along-
singing lyrics to an adulterous song,
and scorning not only each other’s heart-
but successfully tearing their own apart.

What is here today will be lost tomorrow
and you’ll be left with none but sorrow
so heed these generous words and heed them well
flesh is but a gilded cage, merely for the soul to dwell.

If abused; toyed with in a deceitful fashion…
will burn and wither of all love and passion.
Thus the two shall ponder how their youth was so fleetingly spent
as hours of nothing swept by, and many sweet years so wastefully went.

Sporadic Spittoonia

Classy header eh? Hehe… well I’m definitely not the classy chic these days. I think I’ve spit more in the last 24 hours than I have ever in a lifetime. Trying to get this crude out of me and I refuse to swallow any of it!

I feel much better today too… though I do have the occasional coughing up the lung issue… but now it just comes up half way…

Near Death

Oh yeah… I forgot to tell you guys of my near death experience Monday. I took off work just a wee early to get home and start my rest therapy.

Driving along I-20 West bound… all of a sudden the SUV in front of me starts slamming on their brakes and swerves off to the right… another truck in front of him swerved off to the left… leaving me right in the middle. I looked straight ahead of me and there’s this car sitting sideways in the middle of the highway. Skreeeeetch! I came within 1 foot of hitting the car. I was looking at their car the whole time… glanced up… and realized we were staring at each other.

I wonder what expression I had on my face... the utter look of horror… the pale white iced-over, jaw gaping look I gave them… Anyway, I asked them if I needed to stop and they said no- it looks like the people who needed to be were already pulled over, and they proceeded to drive to the shoulder.

Picked up some speed and drove home. What an adrenaline rush! My heart was pounding so fast I thought it was going to pop out of my chest.

Work Work

Meeting coming up at 2… the one this morning was postponed. Have another meeting tomorrow morning at 9am. Then I’m taking off the rest of the day to get in some last minute healing before my weekend plans.

Temp came in late today, her husband had a colonoscopy this morning, and he wanted her there with him. He's all good- farting a lot she said, but all good. Anyway… most work junk is caught up now. Just the web stuff I need to focus on this afternoon.

Samantha

Ok Sistah, I took the picture off your blog and worked with it. I didn’t really have much time to play because I’ve actually been doing work today, but here is what I’ve done so far. I’ve actually got other plans for your picture… but will work on that when I have more free time. Hugz!

Snot Factory

It’s official… my body is a pure manufacturer of sludge. My body is not a temple, but that of a snot factory. Production is high and the antibodies are working double-time to move production along.

Delirium Disorientation

I had some very freaky dreams last night. I believe them to be induced by a mixture of NyQuil and Fever, with a smidgeon of The Chronicles of Riddick.

I lived in this very, very old 3-story house with my family and a few other unknown people. It was summer and we were getting ready for some big family gathering.

In the dining room, there was this coffin that had a dead old black lady in it… she was my grandmother (I don’t believe there to actually be any African blood lines in the family, so this was strange). I was setting the table with lovely china and wine glasses, when I disturbed the slumbering dead lady and she woke up. She got out of the coffin! I said Grandma! I’m sorry I didn’t mean to wake you from the dead! She said it’s ok, I have missed you… it looks like you are going to have quite the party here. And I chatted with her a bit, the showed her around the house… she walked like a zombie- limping and dragging. Then it was time for her to be dead back in the coffin.

Anyway… lots of strange things went on- from physically handicap people, to more dead people waking from their eternal sleep to visit with me. There was also a big Mexican bust! Some type of sweat shop where they mfgd illegal motorcycles, lol.

The main consistency throughout the dream was the waking dead. If you woke them too many times, they were no longer the people you loved and cared about… but just plain bloodthirsty, brain eating zombies.

I love zombie dreams… I believe the walking dead to be the only thing that really gives me the willies.

Work Work

Stayed at home today because I’m so sick… doing some work from home… as much as I can anyway… I am trying to hack all the crud out of my body. Eewy!

Bewitchy

Samantha my dear, I shall give you a buzz when I’m not constantly coughing up my lungs. They are a terrible hassle to swallow and put back in their rightful places.

Love ya Sistah!

Wandering Mind

Ok... so I'm just at work today to finish up this ad... because I'm sick I shouldn't even be here. The time inbetween calls from the FW marketing director and the Dallas marketing director, were spent playing around. This is what I made.

*Pout*Snort*Sniffle*Sneeze*Snotty*

Being sick sucks. Especially right before New Year’s Eve. My eyes are watering constantly, my throat is raw, my nose is raw and I’m damn bitchy! RAH!

Trust me… you don’t want to see pictures of this…

Poetry and The Cauldron

I posted a link on the side bar to my poetry posted at the Cauldron. If you are interested, please check it out. I love to get feedback… whether it’s good or bad. I want to know what you think.

Also, please take some time to browse The Cauldron’s site… it’s a very nifty board, full of wonderful information. The people on there are friendly, helpful and tolerate the pompous horse I road in on lol!

They have book reviews, lessons, and religious information. I love that site. Become a member and start posting… purchase books and help keep the Cauldron bubbling.

The site is not just limited to Pagans… there are members of all belief systems. From Catholic to Buddhism. But don’t come preaching, bashing or trying to force your beliefs on other people… you’ll get nixed for that!!!

My name is Robin and I snore…

Yes people… I snore like a wild bear. I saw entire log cabins in my sleep. It totally sucks. Probably from the years of smoking, sinuses and who knows what… but I can’t stand it. I wake myself up constantly…

Work Work

I should do some work… shouldn't I?

The Darkness

This came to me this evening... thought I would post it.

The Darkness

In the darkness I will sleep
and conquer all that makes me weak.
With this rest my spirit will grow
and through my veins strength will flow.

Once I wake from this slumber
my fears shall no longer encumber
the heart that fiercely beats within
to break free of pain and let life begin.

So with this, I do tightly close my eyes
and quite the waking somber cries
to slip away into the deep-
the black, the darkness- and convalescing sleep.

Dec. 26th 9pm RAW

If Looks Could Kill

Do you know how many times I would be dead if looks could kill? Let’s see… yesterday I probably would have been murdered 5 times.

Did I deserve the murderous looks? I’d say about 70/30 lol. Some people don’t like my bluntness, some people misunderstand me and some people are just too sensitive. But most of the time… I’d say I’m just rude, lol!

Some of these murderous looks will stick with me though, and it’s almost guaranteed to be burned in my mind, thus reflected in some poem or piece of art. I feel something brewing this very moment. I usually don’t fret things like this, but I’m sensitive when people I am trying to get close to, or are close to, misinterpret something and get offended- bestowing upon me one of those murdering looks of disgust.

Courteous Gestures

I have a pretty courteous demeanor, for the most part anyway- I can be very rude and selfish at times. I do very much notice the things that other people do to show their generous nature and that offer me sweet gestures courtesy.

Do I take these courteous gestures for granted? I hate to say it, but sometimes I do. Not intentionally mind you, but there are some things I am just not use to and don’t always respond very well to…

Some times I feel content just being the in very presence of someone intriguing… they might offer me a seat when I am standing, or offer to stand out in the cold while I stay inside and keep warm... But I don’t mind suffering a little bit to maintain the feeling I get while remaining in that person’s presence and I care more, sometimes, for their own comfort. I don't always realize that I may be offending them by not accepting their courtesy.

The Clash of the Titans Re-make

Ok… so I was thinking about the movies that they are remaking… like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory… with Johnny Depp… (looks scary btw)… and thought:

“Why in the world have they not remade the Clash of the Titans?!?!”

That would be an awesome movie to remake… especially with the special effects they can do today. A friend of mine and I were discussing who would be cast as the main characters. I think we pretty have a few of the main roles covered, with the exception of Perseus. I can’t for the life of me think of a male actor that ‘I’ think would be great for the role. Someone young, but not too young, someone muscular but not massively muscular and of course someone with looks that make you melt. It is, after all, the main leading male role.

Here is the cast that I have… leave your suggestions for who you think might play a particular role and why.

Sean Connery as Zeus
Susan Sarandon as Hera
Natalie Portman as Princess Andromeda
Natascha McElhone as Athena
Possibly Dustin Hoffman as Thallo- but I’m leaving this one open…

The roles I have not cast yet are:

Thetis, Aphrodite, Queen Cassiopeia, the Stygian Witches, and Poseidon. I think Sean Connery would be a good Poseidon too… but that’s a small role- was considering Eric Bana made to look older, with a similar style to the way he looked in the movie Troy.

I need someone for the ‘before curse’ Calibos… and was thinking my Friends suggestion of some big burly ugly guy for the ‘after curse’ Calibos…. Like the guy who played Worf in Star Trek.

Will up date you with changes. I also wonder who should direct the film.

Quote for the Day:

I heard an old song today- this line stuck with me…

Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world…
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun.

YO HO HO!

Why did I stay up until 6am in the morning wrapping presents just for them to turn around and be ripped open 5 hours later?!?!

Because it’s Christmas! ***Busting out the Pom Poms!***

Give me a “C!” Give me an “H!” Give me an “R!” Give me an…. ahh to heck with that, that’s way too long… (Imagine an air traffic controller, the kind you see directing air traffic with a couple of flags in their hand, making 3 uniform robotic moves) “HO HO HO!”…. “HO HO HO!”

Merry Christmas Everyone! I love you all… Brightest Blessings and WaaHoO it’s almost over!

Every year I say I’m not going to go nuts buying gifts for everyone… and every year I do. I just love buying gifts for the people I love! I didn’t grinch out as I said I would…

Paganism and Christmas

Though I’m a Pagan- I do celebrate Christmas. I will not give up the tradition of gift giving just because I don’t hold Christian values…

Christmas has never really been religious for me… unless you consider shopping a religion… because then I’d be a devote disciple! Lol!

So what does it mean to me you ask? It means the end of the year… the long winter sleep… Yule tidings! The time where I reflect the events of the past year and express my love & caring to those I hold close to my heart.

Christmas Booty

Arrrggggghhh Matey! Will I be getting’ some o’that sweet Christmas booty?!? Keep your fingers crossed! Let’s chant… “May Robin get some booty, oh so fresh and fruity!”

Yum Yo Ho In-Gay-Kiyo… Cum Yo Ho No-Fake-Yo… Hum Oh Ho…yes! Yes! Right there! Don’t Stop!!! Ooo Yes Daddy, just like that!

No Whimping Out

Don’t think just because there’s a new post, that it gets you out of sharing your definition of Jungle Fucking or a special story of Jungle Fucking… I’m expecting you to post!

Hope your holidays have been wonderful, I’m going to go put on my face and get ready for the paper ripping mayhem. Take Care!

Jungle Love…

Ok… so the actual title is Jungle Fuck… but I didn’t want that to be bold, lol.

What is your definition of jungle fucking? I’d have to say my idea would be swinging from the chandeliers… but I think I’m a wee too fat for that lol!

Uninhibited, wild, freaky sex. Where anything is game and no part of your body goes left untouched. A little hair grabbing, nipple pinching- butt spanking fun.

Do you guys care to be a bit naughty and share some jungle lovin’ experiences with me? Though explicit details probably would be very interesting… you may want to tone it down. Post it anonymously if you wish, but please- post!!!

Shocked?!?!

I think we all have an inner beast that wants to be set loose from time to time. I have all this pent up passion and sexual energy… where did it come from? From years of being tame and unadventurous. Now, I believe my raging bull (yes a Taurus reference for you astrology peeps), will be let out to romp around. Toro Toro!

I’m not getting any younger and the world is there for the taking… so why not have a little fun? Everyone tells me the reign of the 30-something age would probably be the best years of my life… and I’m hoping to make that true.

I want to explore my sexuality, I want to travel, I want to live life to the fullest and forget timidity- dumping all my reservations of the unknown. I will try new things; I will go new places and meet new people.

Whoever is lucky enough to have the pleasure of being intimate with me will have my exclusivity for a time… but I don’t know where my journey will take me and I do not want to be tied down. You can come along if you wish- but you have to be very open-minded and willing to chance.

I think my first endeavor will be a trip to Arizona. I am going to plan a trip for about a week. I just have to make sure I’m caught up at work and the website is capable of being left for a week.

Then, maybe come summer I will plan a trip to California and visit Samantha! Did you hear me Sam?!?! I wanna come see you! Make room! Bust out the Vino, we’re going to prance around your tree! Hehe! Probably visit my Aunt & cousins… maybe Mickey Mouse, too.

Making up with Blog

Ok... so I feel bad about not blogging much lately for you avid fans out there, LOL- so I thought I would post some pictures.

It snowed yesterday… a rarity here in my area of Texas. George really needs a bath! And a haircut- but I thought I would let it stay long for the cold days with his arthritis. He's getting a bath tonight- the little dirty baby!

I love you all… take care, and happy holidays!

I want...

everything.

Blog blog... oh how I have neglected thee... would you… could you… find it in your heart to forgive me?

Work Work

I got a raise at work! Yippie Me! ***Doing the more money dance with a side of higher tax bracket blues***

Temp totally wrecked a print job today. She didn’t look to make sure she was printing the right thing… she printed 1400 calendars for 2004… I was quite the peeved pickle.

Well I’m going to have to look for a permanent person to work for me. The website is going to occupy 100% of my time for a while… and the incoming ads are too important to leave in the hands of a temp.

Writers Block

I’ve been having issues writing… I get these silly one-line poppers in my head… very good makings of something… but that’s it. Nothing else comes…. Maybe because I haven’t been at my peak performance lately… maybe I’m just too distracted. Maybe because work sucks the life out of me… I donno. But it’s upsetting.

Love & Sex

My dreams are so damn vivid that I actually have orgasms in my sleep. Isn’t that interesting… lol. I’m sure you didn’t care to hear that, but I felt the need to share.

They’ve been more about men chasing after me, wanting me… wanting to love me. Love? Loooovvveee…. What is this thing anyway? And why does it interfere with sex?!?!

So I’m a slacker….

What can I say? I’ve been preoccupied. I’m a bad bad girl.

Righty-O!

Oh the visuals I have in my head. I get shivers all over and a very pleasant tingling sensation from the inner core of my most sensitive spots. Yummy

Work Work…

Busy busy day today at work… feeling very fatigued… fear the flu bug may be coming on… but I am going to rest and take preventative measures.

I got to work at 7:30am… I think it’s a record lol! The mundane robot took over and I chugged along until I could chug no more.

Ba-hum bug

I should really buy gifts for my family… soOo I suppose I will go shopping Sunday. I am going to limit myself to just 1 present per person. I am also not going to be extravagant… with one exception. I will get a nice gift work sister.

Did I request anything special? Why yes… yes I did. I made a wee suggestion of a $50.00 lap harp… do I play the harp? Nope. Do I want to? Yep… If I do not get it for Christmas… I will purchase it for myself… because I am selfish that way.

Blah Blah FBI

Ok... so I haven't posted the maps yet... but who's really interesting in seeing them anyway?

So a detective called the house today. They forwarded this case to the FBI because it was an international issue. Whatever that means heh. I don't know that I'll hear anything else...

I did notify the on-line dating service of this scam, and they booted the thief off.

What did I want to happen? What did I expect... I couldn't really tell you, but it was interesting none-the-less.

Samantha

Samantha wants other posters now... *boo hoo* Turns out my wee comments don't satisfy her anymore. Woe is me! LoL! Now someone else… though a good friend to me as well… has tainted her blog with a reply! NO NO NO! I’m not the only comment poster in her life now! Oh my wee heart is crushed!

Don’t worry Sam… I still love ya… and don’t forget, I’m the one to de-virginize your blog :) hehehehe!

What About Nigeria ?!

*Note: Maps will be posted later.

Ok… so you all know by now I signed up with an on-line dating service. What you didn’t know was that I had been talking with this guy for a couple of weeks. He was claiming to be a model on a photo shoot in Nigeria (Africa).

An exchange of photos (a very good looking model type guy pic) and a few chats later… the guy suddenly has a problem! Oh my! My eyes rolled in the back of my head, but I played along. His manager only had an American Cashier’s check to pay him with! And he couldn’t cash it in Nigeria, he had no cash… no way of using credit cards… blah blah. So, he wanted to know if he could trust me… to send me the check, I cash it and western union the money to him.

This seemed like a big crock of shit- so I did some research. There is this major scam going on all over the world… that involves people sending counterfeit cashiers checks to people- and having them union back the money, allowing the victim to keep an amount of it… knowing this check can’t be cashed, they want you to deposit it directly into your bank account. Anyway… once it’s discovered the check is bogus… you are totally screwed.

Am I crazy? Yes…. Just a little… I was intrigued- I wanted to play investigator. So, with a little back and forth play on- “oh honey, when I get back to the states we will finally be together…” gag-spew-hurl… He sent the check via Fedx. This was Friday. The check was for $6200.00- which wasn’t even the amount he originally told me it was for. Also, throughout our little chat sessions… he couldn’t keep his information straight… not to mention type/spell worth a hooha.

I rushed home to get the check… and that’s all it was… a check in a Fedx envelope. Nothing more… I took it the bank, and asked the cashier to call the Bank that this check was suppose to be from to confirm it was counterfeit. I told the lady I had suspicions it was… and sure enough… there was no such account.

SoOo, I came home and called up the police and reported the incident. Well, needless to say, because this was sent from Africa- my little hometown police prolly won’t don’t much about it… in fact, the damn rookie (yes rookie, he even told me so) was in aw that something like this was even going on. But I let him take the check, the fedx, the information the scam artist gave to me and a relay phone number the guy used to call me. They are assigning it to a detective, I have a case number, and blah blah.

Knowing my little town policía probably wouldn’t/couldn’t do much… I also made a report out to the American Embassy closest to the city that this guy said he was in.

Later Friday… that guy- who’s handle is educatedtruth btw (LOL)- was eager to find out if I sent the money. I toyed with him for a bit… then he started to get noticeably irritated. So I spilled the beans on the whole fiasco. Oh my Goddess was he pissed. LOL… he carried on the game for a little while longer… and then told me I had 7 days to live, that god would be my judge and that all thieves deserve to die.

I responded that he was condemning himself and that yes… god(dess) would judge. I also gave him a spill about how he was a terrorist demon preying on the weakness of lonely women.

I am nuts… ok- so sister’s very upset about the situation… and it probably wasn’t the brightest thing I’ve ever done. But I enjoyed it… it was exhilarating- I was Colombo for a bit.

What’s funny about it today is that the guy wrote me a big old long love letter, saying he wants to be with me and make me his wife. ROFL… I replied did you forget that you wished me dead in 7 days? Or are you mistaking me for another one of your poor girl victims…

He happened to be on-line… told me he was sorry, that he was just angry with me. He didn’t mean those things…

LOL… so he’s still carrying on the charade. I told him that only terrorist threaten people’s lives and that he was a mistaken if he thought I would listen/believe him. And I ended the conversation.

I don’t recommend anyone doing this… I also don’t recommend you continue chatting with someone who presents an issue they need your help with… unless you truly know the person already.

On a different note…

Nigeria seems like an awful place to be… There are tons of places people say Americans shouldn’t even attempt to go- even the country’s official web sites have warnings… getting in Nigeria is difficult… but getting out could prove deadly.

And while being there… sheesh… did you read what I posted about the crime in the county? It is true that American's can't cash checks, use credit cards or get currency exchanged... even transfer money from bank to bank.

Though he is a scam artist... theif... terrorist... I have a wee tiny spec of pitty for someone stuck in Lagos (Apapa region), Nigeria. I don't think I'd wish my worst enemy there.

Country Information > West Africa > Nigeria

Let's discuss Nigeria. Why you ask? I'll tell you more tomorrow, read the bottom for a tip.

General Warning

Nigeria has limited tourist facilities and conditions pose considerable risks to travelers.

Violent crime, committed by persons in police and military uniforms, as well as by ordinary criminals, is an acute problem throughout the country. Kidnapping for ransom of persons associated with the petroleum sector is increasingly common in the southeast region of Nigeria.

Use of public transportation throughout Nigeria, including taxis, is dangerous and should be avoided. Nigerian airlines have aging fleets, and the U.S. Embassy in Lagos is concerned that maintenance and operational procedures may be inadequate to ensure passenger safety.

Business, charity and other scams target foreigners worldwide and pose danger of financial loss. Recipients pursuing such fraudulent offers risk physical harm if they come to Nigeria. Persons contemplating business deals are strongly urged to check with their local Department of Commerce before providing any information, making any financial commitments or traveling to Nigeria. An invitation to enter Nigeria without a visa is normally indicative of illegal activity. Under no circumstances should you travel to Nigeria without a valid visa.

Country Description

Nigeria is a developing west African country that has experienced political instability, but which has an emerging internal infrastructure.

Entry Requirements

A passport and visa, which must be obtained in advance, are required. Promises of entry into Nigeria without a visa are credible indicators of a fraudulent commercial scheme in which the perpetrators seek to exploit the foreign traveler's illegal presence in Nigeria with threats of extortion or bodily harm. Travellers cannot legally depart Nigeria unless they can prove, by presenting their entry visas, that they entered Nigeria legally. Entry information may be obtained at your nearest Nigerian embassy or consulate.

Safety & Security

Nigeria has experienced civil unrest, violence and strikes. The causes and locations vary. Locations where outbreaks of violence have occurred include the Lagos area, southwestern Nigeria, the oil-producing states in the southeast, and Kaduna state. There has been an increase in the number of unauthorized vehicle checkpoints. These checkpoints are operated by armed bands of police, soldiers, or bandits posing as or operating with police or soldiers. Many incidents, including murder, illustrate the increasing risks of road travel in Nigeria. Reports of threats against firms and foreigners associated with the petroleum sector recur from time to time. In the past, Chadian troop incursions have occurred at the border area in the far northeast, near Lake Chad. Incidents have also occurred in the southeast in the disputed Bakassi Peninsula at the border area between Nigeria and Cameroon.

Information on Crime

Violent crime affecting foreigners is a serious problem, especially in Lagos and the southern half of the country. Visitors and resident Americans report armed muggings, assaults, burglary, kidnappings, carjackings and extortion, often involving violence. Carjackings, roadblock robberies and armed break-ins occur often; assailants sometimes shoot victims for no apparent reason. Law enforcement authorities usually respond to crimes slowly, if at all, and provide little or no investigative support to victims. While tighter security measures have largely eliminated the danger of pickpockets and con artists inside Murtala Muhammed Airport, such persons are still commonly found outside the terminal building in the parking lot.

The loss or theft abroad of a passport should be reported immediately to local police and to the nearest Embassy or Consulate.

Currency Regulations
Credit cards are rarely accepted outside of major hotels. Due to the prevalence of credit card fraud in Nigeria and credit card fraud by Nigerians, credit card use is generally ill-advised. It is usually necessary to bring sufficient travelers checks and/or currency to cover the expenses of a planned visit. It is rare for banks to cash travelers checks. American Express does not have office in Nigeria although Thomas Cook does. Interbank transfers are often difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish.

What If I Think I am Involved in a Scam?"
Contact the Nigeria Desk Officer at your local Embassy or at the Department of Commerce. You may also wish to contact the local police, as well, if threats have been made against you.

Now that you've skimmed the country information on Nigeria, particularly the Nigerian city of Lagos- keep it in mind for tomorrows blog... someone attempted to scam me. I'll have some maps posted tomorrow.

Same Ol’ Cliché

Had a dream of yesterday-

of all the times love slipped away-
of all the moments my heart was fey-
of all the tears my eyes conveyed.

Had a dream of yesterday-

of all the emotions that led me astray-
of all the pain I kept cache-
of all the confusion and naiveté.

Alrighty

So I accepted the date. Just dinner... to see how we click. This guy makes me laugh so hard my belly aches and my cheeks get sore from smiling a lot. So... why not?

Does that mean I abandon my other possibilities? No way! The groundwork has just been established... but no serious foundation has been laid yet. So... we'll see. But it feels really good to have options for once in my life.

PMS

Need I say more? RAH!

Подарок Предоставления

It’s Russian Today

Я дал восхитительный подарок вчера. Я хотел быть путем более щедрый, чем я был, но не было никакой комнаты для экстраординарного.

Work Work

I took 3 more angels from the tree yesterday. There are still so many children left. Maybe another branch office will help out a little.

Sister also took a couple more angels… she already finished shopping for her first 4. She bought one girl a bicycle! Hehe it’s awesome, she only paid $45 for it and it’s teen size. That will make a wonderful gift.

I’ve got 3 kids done… now I have 6 left. Won’t be difficult. I know where I’m going and what I’m getting hehe. I wish we could see the expressions on these kids faces when they get their presents.

Anyway… still trying to book out last minute Christmas junk.

Love & Sex

Gimme gimme gimme some… damn it! Lol!

I was asked out yesterday afternoon. I’m heavily considering it… I’m still so very unsure though. I don’t know where I’m headed… I want love & companionship… I could get to know 2 people very slowly or one person at a faster pace.

Tough decision… especially when I’m feeling so lonely and I am ready to share my life with someone(s). I don’t want to hurt anybody… I also don’t want any major complications… and most of all- I don’t want to be hurt in the process of it all.

I’ll post my decision when I make it.

Oui oui mes amis

Les gens sont étranges.

No I do not speak French, but if you want to know what this says go to an on-line translator. *snort*

Oh mon amour, quand je vous trouverai ? Quand serez-vous une partie de ma vie ?

Comment je souhaite être si aimé profondément que vous ne puissiez pas vous découvrir pour être loin de mon côté ? Comment je souhaite tenir vous fermez à mon sein et embrasse vos lèvres- caresse vos cheveux !

Quand je vous trouverai, mon amour ? Quand vous me viendrez ?

Jealousy

You know jealousy is quite a magnificent emotion. It is very very powerful. Even amongst people who do not know each other very well.

So, I don’t know if I told you guys that I joined an on-line dating service. It has been quite the experience. I find that older men, over the age of 60 are interested in me, along with men of color.

What’s amusing is that the fellows I do chat with suddenly think I belong to them… though we have never met face to face. Some have seen my web cam, as I have seen theirs… but most of the guys I chat with are nowhere near my state.

How do you get attached to someone you have a virtual friendship with? I can understand if you’ve gone out a couple of times, but if you’ve never met the person and have only seen each other through pictures… how in the world do you manage to get jealous?

This display of virtual jealousy and possessiveness has me really concerned.

Trust

What is trust? Believing in someone’s actions and what they say? Can I trust you? Hell I don’t know… I will give you the benefit of the doubt because I don’t personally know you, but that doesn’t mean I’ll trust you completely.

There are so many fucked up people out there, you just can never know. You can be with a person, live with that person- even be married to that person and still not know the dark little secrets they hold inside.

Me… I’m an open book. I express my feelings and thoughts… no matter the situation. Even if they aren’t nice… I have no secrets I wouldn’t share if you asked me. I feel no need to lie… no need to exaggerate.

The Knights who say Nanner Nanner

Bring us a rubbery duck.  Eek… that didn’t sound right! 

Ok… so I have 2 parties under my belt now. The first party I didn’t actually stay at very long because it was a small office and it was way too crowded. Plus, I needed to go buy a cocktail dress for the big company party… which was last night.

It was AWESOME! The casino gaming was a blast. I’ve never gambled before… I had a major streak of beginners luck. Too bad we weren’t playing for real monies! Damn it! Hehe We cashed in our chips for raffle tickets trying to win prizes such as a 4 mega pixel digi cam, dvd/vcr combos… etc.

Anyway… I lost $25,000 in one play… but that should give you an idea of how well I was doing ;) hehe I was betting high… between 5-10K a pop hehe, sometimes doubling it. Damn I wish it was real money! Hehe I was playing Black Jack all night.

The DJ was funny too… for those of you who MUX, all the songs that I put on my Jukebox in the Disco Room, they were all played at last nights party! ROFL! It’s raining men, Night Fever, YMCA… I got a personal kick out of that… and imagined my mux buddies and myself on the dance floor hehe.

I didn’t end up winning any prizes, but my sister made out like a bandit. She won a $50 gift cert for Home Depot (one of our favorite places), a very large George Foreman Grill, and a very big (we had to get 2 guys to carry it out for us big) deluxe electronic dartboard. Hehe I’m really glad sister won ‘cause her night started off pretty crappy. She didn’t even want to go to the party… but she did thanks to my pouting. And she brought home the goodies!

She best be cookin’ dinner tonight! Hehe We’ve got about $150 of meats in our freezer… the grill she won will work quite nicely!

Work Work

Ok… so I’m grinching out on most of my family this year…. And I’ve taken Koi’s suggestion to buy a gift for donation and put it in the family member’s name. Viola! A gift for them! At work we had an angel tree of children from an orphanage we usually support every year… I took 6 kids… that’s right… 6. 3 boys & 3 girls.

Jose, Greg, Jeffrey, Melisa, Jackie and Rosemary. All between the ages of 14-16. I’m excited. There’s nothing more fun than shopping for 16 year olds! I get to pretend I’m 16 all over again.

Anyhoo… I hope to make these kids happy. Unfortunately, we are limited to just one gift from their wish list. Each angel has 4 items listed and I have to pick one. I think that sucks… I would like to get then all 4 items they wanted… but the Orphanage wants all children to receive an equal amount… and that I can understand.

There are still quite a few angels left… I’m considering going to get more. Maybe I’ll just show my family appreciation this year by cooking one fantastic meal for them… but no gifts. I’ll do all the gift giving to the orphanage.

Booty!

You all need to chant 3 times “May Robin Get Some Lovin’ Soon!” Ok? Would you do that for me? Make sure you’re really clear what kind of lovin’ *wink wink*

I’m sure you all know what I mean! Do it! Do it now! PLEEEEASE!!!!

Star light, Star bright...

*Sigh* I'm going to hop a plane and fly to New York... An intriguing mystery is there waiting to be explored… and I want to be the adventurer to solve the mystery. It’s a man… his name is Peter… or so he says anyway…

We’ve been chatting a wee bit lately… he’s got a web cam and I have one, so we can see each other when chatting. He leaves me with some pretty awesome thoughts. I want him, I want to know him, I want to kiss him… *sigh* but I don’t know that it would ever happen. I will wish upon a star. "I wish I may, I wish I might"

Work Work

My first party is tonight… yikes. I have another one tomorrow night- tomorrow is the main company party at the Ft. Worth Petroleum Club… so I need to go buy a formal evening gown or a cocktail dress. I might go shopping tomorrow at lunch to see what I can find at the mall.

Work is fairly caught up… tomorrow I have the final web conference with the Website committee. Once the company site is transferred to me… I’m probably not going to have as much time to play during the day… which is actually the way it should be.

Love, Sex, Love & More Sex

That’s what’s on my mind…. and I’m not getting either one! RAH!
