Minor Catastrophes

I already broke my goddamn New Year's resolution and it's not even January 1st! Does it count if you break it before January? I had the idea that I wouldn't say or think anything mean. Yeah, I know it's a huge resolution. I think it lasted about 10 minutes.

Things have been frustrating and annoying since my last romantic post, even though my husband and baby continue to amaze me with love. I'm not sure I want to discuss the "issue," though. Part of the problem is actually my honesty and my insane need to write when I am frustrated and angry. And of course I choose to write on a public forum. If nothing else, this post will be cryptic. Things are very messed up in one area of my life, although it's not really an area that I very much care about. However, it seems like lately it's been consuming us like a fire storm even though I'd love to just throw it all away. I think I have emotionally done that, but Dan hasn't quite yet and I'm attempting to help him do that. But right now Dan is sick of talking about it and Katie is amusing herself with a rattling toy in the living room, so I came on here to make peace with my own words. I guess I have. After listening to a little KT Tunstall (I highly recommend it) I feel better:

"Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes
Bring me to my knees
Well I must be my own master
Or a miniature disaster will be
It will be the death of me"

I like the idea of minor catastrophes. That's basically our problem as humans. We like to think our problems are SO important. Just watch the History channel or Discovery and you'll find that we're one celestial rock away from the end.

So in order to make sense of my "minor catastrophe," I just spent an hour going through past posts because I was looking for evidence of something. I wound up reading a lot of crap that my own mind produced, but mostly I read memories of my old workplace and Jason. I miss Jason. Hell, I even began missing Bitchony and the way me and Jay used to roll our eyes in disgust and hate. Ahhh, sweet memories.

All of this could be summed up as cryptically as above with my own quote:

"...because I don't know how to say 'fuck off' in Latin!"

You can say "fuck off" in Latin like this: "Perite." Yes, it's true! LOL! You can fdin various Latin curse phrases at Insult Monger.

PS: There are some suggestive adult ads on this site, for any other "latin curses" wanna-be's... :D

So I say get on that phone to you-know-whom and just shout "PERITE!!!!!" as long and as loud as you can. At the very least, they'll think you're nuts enough to leave alone....

:D

If it helps, I just rolled my eyes at the mention of her name.

If I were you, I would clean up my language before my daughter gets old enough to say the f-word -it is very unfeminine and pretty crass. I'm thinkin' there is a reason for your minor catastrophes and maybe you should take a look in the mirror to see the reason for them. You cuss like a sailor - do you really want your daughter to be the kid no one lets their kids play with? Grow up.

Get a fuckin' life Anonymous. Who are you, Emily Post? They're just fuckin' words, much like Poopy-head and shit-faced motherfucker. I think you should get off your high-horse and hang out at the docks for a while--you may learn that life is not about the words that come out of your mouth. There are much worse things in life than "cussing like a sailor," and if that's the worst any of my kids ever did, why, I'd think that's pretty damn good-a side benefit being that it pisses people like you off.

Happy Fuckin' New Year!

The fact is that children as well as adults are judged by in society by their language - you can like it or not - it is true. A girl with a mother who talks like she works on the docks is handicapped in life. She will be looked down upon because of her ill mannered language. Call me a 'poopy-head'if you wish (what are you, 3 yrs old?), but it is a fact of life . I would hate to raise a precious daughter (whom the mother obviously loves desperately) to be thought of as white trash. My comments are straight-forward, I know, but they could also be helpful if taken in the way they are intended - to help.

Actually "poopyhead" is a favorite of my five-yr-old nephew.... although his three yr old brother imitates him quite a bit... The point was meaning in language, not the words themselves...

So your a judge in the language of life, eh? You come across as a judgmental bitch--is that an issue with her language, my language, or your language? Why does someone need "helped" to "not sound white-trash"? It sounds like your preconceived notions of who swears and who doesn't are a bigger detriment than language could ever be... Of course, all I have to judge you on is your language...

The only person I know who has looked down on her is you--and of course her mother-in-law, who's a raving bitch anyway... Your language presents you as up-tight, judgmental, snobbish, and not at all helpful... I have yet to hear anyone called white-trash because of how they speak--only in what they mean when they speak (or write). (And what makes you think she's white anyway?) You bring a lot of baggage with you....

No ones saying you have to raise your daughter to be up-tight or not--fact is, though, how she decides to raise her baby is none of your concern. I'd rather she raise a daughter to say whatever she damn well pleases instead of worrying about how others may be "judging" her....

Why are others opinions so important to you? Why are you afraid of being labeled "trash" just because when you yell "FUCK!!!!" you mean it? Is it really better to yell, "Crap!!" instead? Why is it even an issue?

Jason
Why are you so up-tight about something that does not concern you. Go get the Prozac refilled and everything will be all right. And, by the way, I am not the only one who judges someone by the way they speak. Sometimes others have a point and it sometimes has merit - just thought you should know that.

Kely's my friend--it's also a public forum--so, it concerns me.

I didn'tr say "you were th eonly one who judges on speech."

"Uptight" and "opnionated" are two different things.

Yes, some opinions have merit--sadly, you didn't share a point, you shared an opinion that her life should be based on what others think of her--and you think I need the Prozac? Hmm...
