The One with the Discovery

 I still have not figured out how I want to use this outlet. It is something that could be stumbled upon, but very unlikely I think. I just can’t figure it out. So for now it will be a mishmash of postings, some friends only, some public, some private.

Today I want to write about discovery. More specifically, discoveries about myself.

I tend to go full on into something when I find I like it. For example, I recently discovered youtube. I knew about it, have searched for things on it before, but I recently found a group of people that I subscribed to and watch videos pretty much all day while I am at work (thanks to a second monitor!). I get a lot of work done while I have the videos up. A lot of work, so don’t worry about that. Unsurprisingly to myself, I found things that I like in the videos so I want to go out and get everything instead of building up to it (re: makeup and organization stuff). It’s not a bad thing, unless you are trying to budget wisely, which I am.

Now on to the discovery. These people can be so annoying! There is a very popular youtuber that has a great life (or so it seems) and there is another youtuber that I am subscribed to that tries to be exactly like the first. It is annoying. The original is annoying at times too. Maybe I am just on overload, catching up on past videos and the fact that a few of them vlogged everyday during the holidays. Eh…I am just finding little quirks of theirs that really put me in a bad mood. Isn’t it funny how others put you in a bad mood?  I can be in a perfectly good mood and then I get on facebook or youtube or even here on OD and instantly in a bad mood.

I have also discovered that almost every person who posts on facebook is a hypocrite. People who want prayers about finding a job and then when they have it, do nothing but complain about it, or my favorite those ladies who complain about their children, how annoying/whiney/bratty they are and then post that they are the greatest moms in the world. I know we all do it, but some people are so clueless about the timing of their posts. And the fact that they post the same fucking thing over and over. It gets old. It gets old really quickly. If it weren’t for a few friends that live far away and some family I am trying to keep up with I would totally ditch facebook and live a happier life.

I am also missing the boat on seasonal issues. What that means is that if I like a nail polish, I don’t care if it is a summer color or a fall color. I wear it when I want to wear it and the same goes for my makeup as well. My life really is seasonless. My décor doesn’t change based on the season. It is what it is. I might throw on a lighter blanket or put some quilts away when summer arrives, but that is about it. Also, I don’t get the uber attraction most people have to Bath & Body Works. Most of their stuff is too perfumed for me. It makes me physically ill. I did pick up a couple of smaller candles on sale this weekend, but I am not saving them for next year. I will burn them soon. I don’t burn candles in the summer time. I mostly burn candles as a heat source is small rooms. I plan on leaving my wintery penguin gel stickies on my bathroom mirror until they fall the fuck off. If that is a month or three years, they will be there.

Another thing I don’t understand is the abundance of men who are attracted to cats and small dogs. It is kind of creepy when men post photos of their cats on twitter. I am not talking a funny, head stuck in the garbage, I am talking, snuggly cats and multiple photos of their cats. Blows my mind really. You never hear of crazy old cat men.

See I told you it would be a mishmash. It is really an emptying of my brain if you will. Things that have been in there for too long and have to be removed.

I have to say that I am so very thankful for my dear bestie Angie. She is awesome. She actually listens to me, cares about what I have to say and that is so unusual for me in my circle of friends/acquaintances. Usually the only person who listens to me is Mom. Yeah, Angie is awesome. She didn’t go on and on about her pregnancy and she doesn’t complain about her little guy. She is a changed person because of that little man. She was actually cognizant of other peoples feelings with regards to pregnancy. She knows, understands that there are many women who want children, who can’t have them (raises hand). She is awesome. I have to tell her that more often.

Well that is what has been on my mind lately. That and I have to pick up and head home. Yay!
