mini rant

My friend announced she was pregnant on facebook by posting a picture of an ultrasound. (Which is the second picture of its kind in the last 2 weeks to pop up on my facebook, apparently that's the way to break the news now days.... anywayzzzzz) I commented on it, so I got all the notifications and whatnot. About 30 comments down someone said "I have to ask....was it planned?"

For some reason, that ruffles my tail feathers. I think if you aren't close enough to know the answer, you shouldn't be asking it. What does it matter if it is planned or not? A child is a child, whether the parents decided it was time, or if Heavenly Father decided for them. My friend was obviously excited about it, so the fact that her baby was planned or not held nothing in terms of.....anything.

Perhaps the reason it bugs is that I had a conversation with this individual when I was pregnant, and it was basically about the same thing.

....perhaps she has been trying for a while. And in that respect a planned pregnancy is slightly easier to deal with emotionally than an oops?? I guess I can take that. But perhaps a picture comment isn't the best way to deal with it.

Goodness, I'm not even pregnant and peoples comments are already buggin me. That's not a good sign for when the next one blesses us in 50 years.

Oh what's in a name....

People misspell my name all the time. I'm used to it.

But, when it is something that is supposed to be "professional" you would think the person would double check the spelling.

I don't know why it upsets me. If you are going to list everyone who has ever been there, you better list them correctly. And I'm not the only one that is wrong. Which makes me even more upset. They just didn't care what they were doing. Don't just do your job half way. If you do it, do it right.

So, boys and girls, the moral of this story is if you are going to misspell something, you better make sure it isn't someone's name. Because that makes them upset.

Public Service Announcement

I'm all for public bathrooms. They are the constant in an incontinent world.

 However, they do not clean themselves. So please, if you leave a mess on the toilet seat please please please take care of it. Because there will be a girl who writes an amazingly entertaining blog who will clean said mess, and will thus write about your poop on the Internet. Now you don't want that, and I don't want to really clean it up. So lets make a deal and just not leave nasty messes for the retail associate to spend an hour cleaning up. k? k.

Twilight VS Glee

You turn on your TV now days and you see basically one of 2 things: vampires, or teenagers singing. Twilight and Glee has taken pop culture by storm. When it comes down to it, I really wonder how this is even possible.

*Now, I want to make a disclaimer on this blog. I would definitely consider myself a Gleek. For those who don't know, that means I'm an avid Glee watchin gal. I've watched all the Twilight movies and read the books twice. So I obviously like these 2 things. So this isn't a total hate bashing blog. Just comparing my findings.*

The first Twilight book sucked you in. You fall in love with the characters, the story line, Forks. You have no option but to keep reading the other books. (Now, anyways since they are all out for you to read).

*If you don't want to know what happens in the books I suggest you skip these next few paragraphs. But, I'm assuming if you haven't read them by now, you don't care too much....*

You start New Moon and expect the same mythical lore that keeps you turning the pages like the first one. But its not there. Its boring. She is depressed. And there is no McDreamy McVampire for at least 1000 pages, or so it seams since it is soooo boring. But you keep reading because it just has to get better. And so you sit on the couch at 4 in the morning, just as you did Twilight. However, you addiction to this book has changed from "I love it and don't want it to end so I keep reading", to "I have to keep reading because I know it gets back to the good stuff that I loved." And then the book ends.

So now you are torn, you have just spent the last 56 hours straight reading a book and not paying attention to any other responsibilities, such as hygiene, children, eating. You can't just stop reading after such a crappy book; you have invested too much time already. And so you read the third one. It doesn't quite have the same lour as Twilight, but definitely better than New Moon. You kind of get into it and remember why you just waisted your life reading book 2 because vegetarian vampires are pretty intriguing. But, you know that Bella is going to choose Edward. She says she has no choice in the matter. So the whole Team Edward/Team Jake thing is kind of pointless because you know what team she is on. It gets a bit cheesy at points but you just move on until you finish the book.

So then the next thing you do is hurry and read Breaking Dawn. The wedding is cute. Aww tender. A bit on the dramatic side, but what ev. Then it just goes down hill from there. If it wasn't for the cute daughter there would really be no point in even knowing how it ends because the plot is just so out there and unrealistic. The reason why you started loving it in the first place is because you could totally see the scenario in the first book as "realistic," even though we all know there are no such things as vampires. But by the end of this last one we have wolf shape shifters, mention of werewolves, VAMPIRES, and half human creatures that grow at an exceptionally fast speed. Where did all this come from!? They survive, live happily ever after in their ridiculously overly romantic life with their overly developed daughter.

*You can continue reading if you skipped a few paragraphs*


You have successfully read all 4 books and go on with your life. Something tempts you to read them again, such as a movie coming out. And so you do knowing quite well what you thought about it. So maybe you decide to just read the first one since it was by far the best. But then it sucks you in AGAIN, and so the cycle continues and you finish the last page of the fourth book wondering how you went through that for the second, third, or forth time.

Glee is very much the same thing.

You get sucked in the story of the first season. The songs are fun. The characters are great. You watch every episode. Perhaps even buy a song or two on iTunes. They have great regionals (I think that's what the last competition was...) and leave just enough questions for you to die during the summer when there aren't any new episodes.

Season 2 starts and they have really great songs. Some relationships changed, new students. You are pretty   much excited for this season. But as the episodes go on the plot takes a nose dive. Everything has turned to tribute episodes and sex with very little intriguing plot business in the middle. It gets sooo boring. Just like the second Twilight book, you just wait it out and hope it gets better. If it wasn't for the fun songs there really wouldn't be a reason to watch it. But you do. Religiously. Every Tuesday.

And so, in closing, I really hope Glee turns back around and stops trying to be shocking or have the most songs on the Top 200 for that week. I'm still a die hard Glee fan. I'm just getting a little annoyed that the Glee I fell in love with last year is not the Glee it is now. I do not want it to become like Twilight--loved by most despite being ridiculous in the end.
