I had a chance to get online from home today. No one else was using the Gateway. But I couldn't get online! I don't know what the problem was this morning. I'm thinking that the cable just didn't want to give us anything this morning.

First, let me clear up question #5 in my Monday Mission. I am not homophobic. I stated that "I don't mind you doing it but please don't flaunt it around me!" in regard to homosexuals. Someone replied "I agree not to flaunt it around you, if you'll agree not to flaunt it around me." What I meant by flaunting are those gay pride parades where everyone is making a fool of themselves Frenching and necking each other and want to force the fact "I'm gay!" to everyone. I do not want to see that. I can't stand to even see heterosexuals (to answer your question, too, Trish.) standing around on the corner doing that stuff. Some things are meant to be private. To paraphrase Rosie O'Donnell on The View yesterday, it's part of life, but that doesn't mean you should have to tell everyone about it. So if you're straight or gay, I do not care. A person is a person regardless of sexuality. I just don't want to see PDA's, as described above, shoved down my throat and forced to watch it.

I'm going to end up making this a LONG entry. But I haven't had a long blog in a while and I'm backed up with "blogitis!"

Ok, on to another subject. I've watching All My Children lately. I know, I just admitted I don't like to see PDA's and I'm hooked on a show that loves to display PDA's. However, the "Maria" and "Trey/Ben" storylines have me hooked. I have been rooting for a bitchslap on "Brooke" from someone. And how about "Edmund" refering to "Maria" as his wife yesterday, not "Brooke." I have never liked "Brooke" since she slept with "Tad" and took him away from "Dixie." Speaking of "Tad," the fight scene with "David" was a riot! It looked as if both actors were having fun.

Today in school, I have a quiz on the distance and midpoint formulas. I hope I can pass.

Finally, an article about the side of the strike I feel the worst about if it happens: Stadium workers would be hit hard by strike.

HumpDay Hump time!

Act IV Scene II: *We are sitting in Atlanta Bread Company having breakfast a bagel/sticky bun/muffin (you choose) talking to pass the time until I have to go and pick up my kidlets from school.* Quiet on the set!! Roll tape..... and....ACTION!!

ME: Wow leaving my son at preschool is so hard. He bawls. He likes it but hates to leave mommy, you know? My mom and I are like best friends. We had some major fights when I was 13, 14, and 15 which were all my fault but other than that we are like best friends. Are you/were you close to your mom?
You: Yes, I'm close to my mother.

ME: I am trying to get them to school and pick them up everyday ON TIME! You know how I am always late! Hell, I was voted Most Likely To Be Late among other things in high school! At least I am consistent I always said. But no more! I will be on time!! Are you a late person or a punctual person?
You: I can be a late person but I prefer to be punctual. If it's just doing things on my own, I'm usually on time. Add the rest of my family into the mix, and I'll be late.

ME: You know, I was talking to my best friend the other day about something I realized. It had to do with trust. I don't trust many people for various reasons mostly stemming from my own faults projected onto others. But once I trust someone, I am pretty much an open book. Do you have anyone you trust completely (besides me of course :o) ?
You: I'll admit, I have a hard time with trust. I do have friends and like to trust them for the most part, but part of me can't. I think it's due to being a military child and not knowing if your best friend will be there the next day or not.

ME: Who is your best friend right now? Do they know they are your best friend? What would you do if suddenly, due to unforseen circumstances, they weren't around tomorrow?
You: I have many best friend. And if they weren't around tomorrow, I'd miss them.

ME: Is there anyone you would give your life for if the situation arose? Like "Take me not *fill in the blank with said person's name*!!".
You: My parents, that's for sure. Ok, my sibilings, too.

ME: OOoo! Look at the time! I only have thirty minutes left before I have to bolt! You wanna run into the Dollar Store? I love that place.
You: Don't take me there! I'll want everything!

ME: By the way, do you remember Penny Racers? I loved those things.
You: Thinking "What the heck?"

CUT!!!
