Remember that one time I got married to a very tall Black man and very short underage White girl at a ski lodge in the mountains above Salt Lake City, UT? @themidnightace

Sometimes being honest for me is hard. Like TOO hard. There are days when honesty just runs from my every pore and then there are the times when I just want to cover up and pretend and smile in everyone's face and tell them I am fine just so I can go crawl in my bed and cry because it simply isn't.

I wish I had more options. I feel limited and trapped and it's not a good feeling when what I am used to my whole life is just picking up and running away when shit gets too tough.

Even sadder is not having a friend in the world I can call and say..."HELP ME" to.

I have been having baby fever lately. I don't really like being pregnant, mostly because it is always so dangerous for me, but OMG I miss the soft sweet smell of a baby's fresh new head. Which probably means I should not hang around hospitals or people with cute babies.

I have to go to the city today. I don't really want to. But I know once I get there, I will be excited because being in the place where 150 of my internet friends are going to be standing in 2 months, will motivate me and get me amped.

I want hair extensions. They cost $600...you know what that means? PLEDGIE!!!

I have been bottomed out depressed over not being able to go to Jill and Torgny's wedding next week. The air fare is just so expensive and my heart hurts because I really want to watch my two favorite fuckers get married..because HELLO..I love those bitches.

I burped up shredded wheat and it was dead sexy.

The New People I Met At Snark

In a situation like Snark, you meet literally hundreds of people in a matter of hours.  It's hard to talk to everyone, decide if you like them, get to know them, etc.  Particularly if you're an introvert like me.

But there were a lot of new people I met, and being an observer, I made some mental notes.  I hope that doesn't creep anyone out, but that's what I do in social situations if I'm overwhelmed.  People were great, and I felt the love the moment I walked into that place.

Jillzey:  An awesome woman, sweet, nice, loves to laugh.  Didn't get a chance to talk to her much.

Greentanktop:  Another woman I didn't get to talk to much.  She was nice.

pearlschmutz:  Funny, sweet, nice.  She became my bud.  I was impressed enough by her to write her name twice in my memo file. (Scotch)

iamjenn2: I only talked to her briefly for a few seconds, but she was very funny.

jamarcucci: Hysterically funny, and made everyone around her immediately feel safe and relaxed and laughing.  And she showed me her boobs. :)

dariennelake: A wonderful woman.  She literally sparkled the moment she walked into the room.  The party had officially started when she arrived.

Sinxo:  I only talked to her for a few seconds, enough to realize who she was, and to introduce myself.

impeccablepeccadillo:  Funnily, when I first met her, I wrote her name in my memopad, but misspelled it, so I spent almost all Sunday trying to remember how to spell it.  I don't remember if I spoke to her at all (Scotch)

marienotmaria:  I accidentally breathed scotch-breath (Scotch) into her face.  I think I offended her.  For that, I apologize.

elongrad1997:  A beautiful woman whom I would sneak peeks at if I didn't think she was watching.  I could only manage the courage to speak to her for a few seconds.  (courage=Scotch)

titsandsass: She was at the last Snark in August, but somehow, we didn't get to talk very much, if at all.  Talking to her Saturday, I was so drunk and nerdy and I thought she had dismissed me.  But she was funny, and I fell in love with her all over again.

raysporch:  I didn't think this guy was going to make it, but I'm so glad he did, because we nerds/geeks need to stick together.

hiimles: I didn't get to talk to him much, because of women and scotch.  More's the pity.

palomaloma:  I didn't recognize her at first, but she pulled out her name tag, and I yelled out her name ("Palomaloma!") at the top of my lungs.  She was at the last Snark, but I didn't know her then.

itsmejillian:  She was also at the last Snark, but I didn't know her then.  Another one when our eyes met, we yelled out each other's names.  LOL

notwhatihadinmind:  Don't let her photographs fool you like they did me: She's so tiny, I could hold her in the palm of my hand.  She was sweet, nice, and sexy.

ruthakers:  She would hate me forever for saying this I suspect, but she was sweet, nice, and (of course) self-deprecating.  She took my stupid fan-boy questions and comments with the humor we've come to expect from her.

My thanks to sarcastickunt for putting this event together.

My thanks to roughdiction for walking with me to the event venue.

My thanks to goodybrains, sweetheatherbee, therealcherilyn, itsmejillian, ch8rming, and raysporch for making me feel like I matter and for reasons, but mostly for making me laugh.  They know why.  When I made it home Sunday afternoon, my face hurt from laughing so much.

My thanks to everyone who was there for making a complete nerd for feeling welcome, being lovely, sexy, and everything else that you all are.  You guys ROCK.

And what was the deal with the woman wearing the lobster claws?
