After Mark and David I pretty much hated anything with a dick. Unfortunately I am rabidly heterosexual, so despite my misanthropy at the end of the day I still love cock. Fuck. I did by best to meet myself in the middle by rocking the sexual bulimia to great effect: binge and purge, baby! Although I spent years being the faithful anti-slut (despite occasional accusations of the opposite), when I decided to play the field I did so with great voracity and made an art form out of bragging about all the hot ass I bagged and snuck out on the next morning. It was mostly fun and I have some hilarious stories, hot memories, epic blog posts and a clean bill of health, so at the end of the day...wtfever. However, being a player isn't really my thing anymore even if I used to be of rather infamous "evil manipulative nymphomaniac" status at one point. "With great tits comes great responsibility", "when you look into my vagina, my vagina also looks into you" and so on and so forth. Thankfully I outgrew most of that stuff (except the tits) and developed a somewhat stunted but nevertheless present conscience (in relationships - when I'm single the world is my oyster and I likewise swallow it raw and with a shot of vodka).
I have made pretty much every single mistake that there is to be made where love between two people is concerned. I've had just about every insane high and heartrending low. I've had someone die, I've been married and divorced, engaged several times, betrayed, cheated on, loved to the exclusion of all else and have probably heard every bullshit promise and lie ever whispered. Sometimes I wonder what the hell there is left to experience that is actually worth experiencing...different places, different faces? Oh wait...making something happily last more than a year or two, that'd be kinda new! Yeah. So, see all these eggs? This is me putting them in one basket. Let the chips fall where they may. If it fails, billionth time's a charm, maybe.
And if he fucks me over, there is always homicide. :D

When traffic is backed up for miles on a highway, crawling along -- and then suddenly everyone returns to normal high speeds without passing an accident, stalled car, or road construction.
We spent 45 minutes bumper-to-bumper for no reason?!? It must be immaculate congestion.
If at 10pm last night I'd been up for 36 hours, and it's 2:40 am now, how long have I been up?
What's your favourite cure for insomnia?
How about migraines?
I use the mood on lj posts. I'm kinda annoyed at it though, because I rarely find myself out of the 'a's for my moods and that's a limited number of McShep icons :(
Which of the moods do you tend to use most often?

Bryce was named after our favorite National Park, Bryce Canyon in Utah. The unique red rocks inspired us to name our furry red baby after the national park. We patiently waited six months for Bryce, and the wait was well worth it. Bryce is a very mellow and calm Lab, aside from a couple hours in the evening where he goes crazy! He loves playing fetch, chewing on his bully sticks, napping at our feet, and being daddy's little helper around the house. He is our sweet, furry baby Bryce!

Madam and Sir are my baby slider turtles, and I read I should be giving them some kind of calcium supplement along with their food. Can I use a human one, or does it have to be specially formulated for reptiles? Specifically, I've got a bottle of 21st Century Calcium Citrate + D, I was thinking I could crush a little and dust it over their food? The other ingredients are cellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium silicate, and magnesium stearate... I don't know if that's anything dangerous for them or not?
Also, will worms dug up from the garden be okay for them, or should I just buy worms? We've used pesticides, so I wouldn't want the worms to eat something poisonous and then the turtles would get it!
I'm kind of paranoid about these little guys...

Didn’t see the prequel, didn’t see the “Friday the 13th” remake (the only “Friday” I missed!). Platinum Dunes, you’re on my shit list.
84. HECKLER (MICHAEL ADDIS)
Jamie Kennedy goes from city to city asking why people wrote bad reviews for Son of the Mask. There’s more to it, but somehow, less. Just cry into a pillow like the other people involved in that movie, Jamie, spare us a documentary about your petty need for validation.

83. THE PUNISHER (JOHNATHAN HENSLEIGH)
Not pictured: Tom Jane’s disappearing/reappearing fire hydrant of justice!
82. XXX (LEE TAMAHORI)
“Stop thinking Prague police and start thinking Playstation!” he says. Do they even have Playstation in Prague? Why would he assume a grown man in Prague would still play videogames? Mysteries of the universe…

80. X-MEN: THE LAST STAND (BRETT RATNER)

The Jersey Shore housemates are all about having fun and looking good in the process, but a disturbing incident that was set to air on Thursday’s episode has since been pulled by MTV.
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, a 21-year-old from Marlboro, N.Y., and one of eight self-described “Guidos” and “Guidettes” that make up the cast, is shown in a clip receiving a vicious blow to the face while drinking with her housemates at a bar.
The assailant, Brad Ferro, a 24-year-old high school gym teacher, was arrested and charged with “simple assault,” but the image of Snooki getting hit proved to be too much for the controversial reality show.
While MTV deals with the fallout, the housemates point to the incident as a turning point of their time together, saying that the attack on Snooki actually served to unite them.
“A positive came out of it,” an unfazed Snooki tells PEOPLE. “It definitely brought us closer together. It definitely brought us together as a family. We have each other’s backs and it was a positive.”
As far as silver linings go, this may be as good as it gets. “The first couple of episodes, [Sooki] didn’t fit in,” Mike ‘The Situation’ tells PEOPLE, “and when that happened, we thought, ‘That’s not cool. You should never touch a girl, in that way, no matter what!’ That brought the group together in a way that we cannot describe.”
According to Mike, the rules of Jersey Shore are as simple as they are steadfast: Look good, feel confident and treat women with the “utmost respect.”
And when Snooki went down, the rest of the house stepped up. “That was a very, very unfortunate situation,” Pauly D says. “It should never have happened, but the thing is, it brought the whole house together as a family. I felt like Snooki was my sister. I met her, we weren’t close, but something bad happened to her and it brought us closer together.”
MTV has since released a statement explaining their decision to pull the footage, saying, “What happened to Snooki was a crime, and obviously extremely disturbing.” But the real lesson here can best be summed up by Sooki herself, who says, “It made me more aware about going out. There are –holes out there, and it made me more aware about who I am surrounded by.”

Yankee Stadium, cheering on her boyfriend at the World Series. In the wake of Monday's announcement that Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez have ended their six-month relationship, a Rodriguez source tells Us that the actress' less-than-subtle presence at Yankee games was "a turnoff" to Rodriguez.
"[Hudson] wanted more camera time each and every game," the pal tells Usmagazine.com. "She would always want to be styled before games and she'd insist on front-row seats." Her motivation, the friend says, was more of a PR move than genuine devotion. "It was a turnoff to have a girlfriend who always wanted to be on camera," the source quips. "Alex wanted someone who was more interested in building a long-term relationship than just building their profile."
For those confused by the timeline of the couple's split and who initiated what, the A-Rod friend insists that "he broke up with her over a week ago," but they continued to spend time together publicly after the fact. "Alex wanted to end this relationship well over a month ago," the source says, but the baseball star, 34, didn't want to disrupt Hudson's premieres and promotional events for her new film Nine. "He felt that would be counterproductive and unfair to her."
And while many reports claim that a jealous Rodriguez "smothered" Hudson, 30, the friend suggests the opposite was the case, observing, "She seemed compelled to track and follow his every move" during his busy pre- and post-season schedule.
Ultimately, the pal says that Hudson tried to give Rodriguez "an ultimatum" and to "fast track" the relationship. "He's just coming off of a 13-year relationship with his ex-wife and a recent divorce," the friend points out. "He has two lovely children with his ex-wife, and that requires a certain amount of responsibility. She gave him ultimatums that a newly divorced father can't meet."
The friend says that things ended amicably -- and maturely. "They're two mature adults. She did take the relationship seriously, and he has a lot of respect for her. They had some really wonderful times together."

NJ Housewife: Bethenny Frankel's Naked PETA Ad Made Me Vomit

The housewives are hating on each other again.
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has slammed pregnant Bethenny Frankel's new nude PETA ad.
"To quote Bethenny: 'I just threw up a little in my mouth,'" Giudice, 36, Twittered Tuesday.
Frankel, 39, boasted in the New York Post that she was "already pregnant" when she shot the ad and she was "pleased" with how it turned out "because it doesn't look like there's been any airbrushing."
Giudice begs to differ.
"Help me understand this," she Twittered. "Bethenny is happy with her naked pic because she was 'already pregnant' at the time. She says she's now three months along, but she did the shot in August. Even if she's four months pregnant now, she would've been, like, one hour pregnant in the pic."
She added, "Someone tell Bethenny that sperm does not make you look fat, and I'm not buying the airbrushing thing in any case."
What's Giudice's beef with Bethenny?
In September, Bethenny told TV Guide that Giudice is her "least favorite housewife" because she is "whiny and unintelligent."
Giudice Twitted to fans that "it's cool if you like Bethenny. She probably didn't give an interview to TV Guide that hated on you. Me, not so lucky."

The Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel is the latest celebrity to take everything off and pose for PETA’s “Fur? I’d Rather Go Naked” ad campaign. Her billboard is located in New York City’s Times Square.
“I used to wear fur. I went to a cocktail party, walked outside on Fifth Avenue, and a PETA protester was holding up a skinned animal,” Frankel said in a statement. “I looked at it, and it made me sick. I felt disgusting. That day was a huge change, and since then I’ve really been against fur. I’m cleaning out my closets — trim, everything. I don’t see any reason for cruelty.”
Eva Mendes, Kristen Johnson, Mickey Rourke, Audrina Patridge, Khloe Kardashian and New Moon star Christian Serratos have all posed for PETA.

- Are the holiday mini lights enough light? How much do I need?
- Are they the correct light spectrum? Do I need to get reds, blues, whites?
- Will they really use less energy than my current fluorescent ones?
- Where is a good source of lights? Hopefully, there will be some left at the After-Christmas sales.
- Has anyone here use any LED grow lights and how well did they work?

Thanks!
i was hoping not to have to do half.com or amazon.com, but is it worth it?
if you've used one of those sites where you sell them right to them, which ones are the best, etc?
After spending a record five consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Songs chart with “Need You Now,” Lady Antebellum released the second single, "American Honey,” from their forthcoming sophomore album Need You Now (out Jan. 26) to radio yesterday.
“I think everyone, man or woman, it doesn’t matter, you get to a place in your life when you really miss the simplicity of growing up. I’m only 23 years old, but as things in our lives get crazier, there’s moments in time where I’m like, gosh, it would be great to just go back to when I was playing hide and go seek with my neighbors or laying on the screened-in porch in my aunt’s house — going back to the smells and the sights and all those things,” shares Hillary Scott. “That’s what I loved about this song...the nostalgic thing. It just has this sweetness to it, and it warms your heart.”

JAY SEAN CALLS FOR SHOW PROMOTERS TO BE MORE HONEST
British R&B star JAY SEAN has hit out at U.S. event promoters for "misleading" fans by advertising club appearances as live concerts - because he feels he's "letting down" his devotees whenever it occurs.
The singer shot to fame Stateside when his single Down became a summer smash and topped the Billboard chart in October (09).
Sean has been touring the U.S. ever since, with shows and appearances in cities like Los Angeles, Atlanta, Georgia, Chicago, Illinois, and New York - but he admits he's unhappy with the way some promoters have been falsely advertising events he's only meant to be hosting.
He tells WENN, "We've been doing so many shows and afterwards it's an afterparty or something like that and because of the wording in the flyers and posters, sometimes fans are led to the assumption that it's a full on concert with a band and dancers.
"Then when I turn up I only play my singles and then I feel awful 'cause I feel like I'm letting the fans down. I was in Pittsburgh on Sunday and it was billed as 'live in concert', but I didn't see the flyer until I got there.
"It's unfortunate 'cause I know fans will feel like I've let them down. Even knowing that, I tried to extend it (his set). I did acapellas, beatboxing... as much as I could without the full stage equipment."

Anyone care to explain what the big deal is? All the technological talk seems to have me confused (if anyone cares to put it in layman's terms) and all I really wanna know is will the whole movie be in 3D?
5 years ago, where did you want to be in life? Are you there now? What's the difference between what you envisioned and reality?
