Things You Find In Random Places…

by Veronica on November 10, 2008

in Life

Like in the search members section of NaBloPoMo, where I found this.

Now I know that it is meant to be Salt Lake, Utah; but seriously, hasn’t someone noticed this kind of thing before? And I really don’t think that the comma in the middle fixes it, or makes it better in any way.

And more to the point, if a good Samaritan (me) left you a comment letting you know that Sweetie, you really need to add some letters to your location because at this point in time, it looks REALLY BAD, don’t you think you would change it?

(Note: She hasn’t changed it, nor did she acknowledge my comment.)

I did leave out her photo to protect her privacy though, because I’m nice like that.

Poor girl.

****

I think my laptop is possessed.

It went from being a perfectly good, well behaved laptop, to randomly opening my disc drive at every opportunity.

I’m typing away and click! Disc drive pops open.

Plugging the computer into the power? Click!

Sitting a good 3 feet awy from it, not touching it? Click!

It must be hungry.

Maybe I need to feed it a disc and see what happens.

However, every time it happens, I can’t stop my imagination kicking into overdrive and imagining my laptop trying to eat my fingers with the dvd tray.

Laptops don’t like blood, right?

Right?

****

Oh and just to add to the things in random places, I found a sippy cup full of milk in my underwear drawer, a half eaten apple (not mine) under my pillow, 3 books (also not mine), a blanket, a teddy and a pen in my bed.

Toddlers!

Mabye she is, you know….slut.

I’ve seen the disc drive thing before, usually it’s an application looking for a cd. Could be anything. Try to shut down unnecessary programs by going to start->run and type in msconfig. Go to the startup tab and uncheck the items you don’t need (which is most of them).

The disk drive on my old laptop used to do that too. Until one day I got sick of it and shoved it back in really hard. All was fine for a while, until it started making a noise like a tractor back-firing. Then it died. But I am sure that won’t happen to you.

As for Miss SL, UT….slut is a slut does?

well, at least if you get hungry in bed you have an apple, some good reading material and some milk to wash it down.

How sweet of Amy to keep you supplied with food, drink and toys while you are resting with your feet up. (you are resting, right?)
Im kinda glad I don’t live in SL,UT

Ali November 10, 2008 at 5:39 pm

Hehehehe, I would definitely take your advice if I were presenting myself as a sl,ut.

Jeez. You have too much time on your hands. Do you know how long it took me to find Cassandra’s picture? Once you see that picture, you begin to realize that SL,UT was no accident. Either she has a VIVID sense of humor or she has a very low opinion of herself.

As a resident of the Salt Lake valley, I can tell you that anyone living here longer than 10 minutes knows about the whole “SL,UT” thing. If you don’t think it’s hilarious to call yourself a slut (which I don’t, call me crazy) then you use SLC, UT, because it really IS Salt Lake CITY, not just Salt Lake… the city…

And just a point of clarification to Mrs. C… the church you’re referring to isn’t actually a “branch” of the Mormon church. It began when a group of people (primarily Joseph Smith’s family) wanted to run the church a different way so they started their own church. And unfortunately, were not at all original with their name. They aren’t affiliated in any way with the Mormon church. Just saying.

I was raised Mormon but don’t practice it anymore, for various reasons. But I’m still a little defensive of people who ridicule them. If they’re “very nice people” as you say, why is it necessary to make fun of their religion? I believe in “live and let live”.

During the summer our local farmer’s market sells tomatoes from Kentucky advertised as KY tomatoes. Nothing says yummy like an added touch of personal lubricant.

Aaaaand after reviewing my last post, I got a good laugh out of the fact that underneath, it listed my last post, titled “Lighten up, willya?” So, advice taken… lightening up!!!

Maybe she did it on purpose? lol A cry for help, perhaps?

Speaking of eating things, I just found a video on myspace of a snake eating a wallabie. Yikes.

With my luck this weekend, the Universe is likely to leave a sippy cup of milk around for me to find…just to make me cry again.

NaBloJoMo would be more appropriate….

Mrs. C November 11, 2008 at 6:29 am

Andi, you are absolutely right. I am very sorry, and wish I could delete my comment. What I said was not appropriate or kind. Please accept my apology.

Thank you for correcting me. I will try to watch my mouth more closely in the future, but I do fall short frequently. I am sorry again for any hurt I have caused.

Veronica, if you can, would you delete my previous comment? Thanks.

There is a transit system in Seattle, Washington called the South Lake Union Trolley, or SLUT for short! They even printed up shirts telling people to “ride the SLUT”!
How funny is that!

Leslie November 11, 2008 at 7:37 am

Oh, Veronica. I just love you and your blog!

Oh boy, that milk in the underwear drawer could have been bad. I guess at least it wasn’t milk left in a hot car though. Ha.

You funny and me thinks, young Amy has your sense of humour, or perhaps your sense of nurturing.

bwahahahahaha… SL,UT will keep me laughing all day!

My laptop has had serious issues ever since Mack decided it’s fun to climb up to my desk and type/bang on the keyboard. He’s “reprogrammed” many things that I can’t undo. He was kind enough to do the same to my sewing machine as well.

So far this week:
A pile of puzzle pieces in the fridge.
12 cars in the pantry, parked neatly behind a box of crackers.
A dirty (disposable)diaper in the laundry hamper (temporary garbage vs.laundry confusion?)
A pair of my dirty socks on the bookshelf, wedged between some books.
The more I think, the more I remember from just the last few days, ha!
