existential crisis? [Saturday November 7th, 2009 at 10:05pm] subjectivism I know that everyone has those days where it's just like ... what am I doing with my life? Death is inevitable, nothing matters, etc. All that nihilistic bullshit. Do people tell you to not waste your time? That youth is fleeting and to seize the moment? What the fuck does that mean? Am I wasting my life by freaking out over every school assignment, spending my time studying, and eventually working a stressful job that I may not even like anymore? Or is that random dude on the street corner wasting his life by getting high every night and fucking everything that moves? Society tells me that I have it right. That I'm a good citizen and therefore a good person and good people are rewarded with happiness. But sometimes, I think random strung out dude has it right. I'm doing what I think will make me happy in the future and he's doing what makes him happy now. I don't even know what would make me happy now. Maybe I'm the hypocrite with no direction in life.

Best thing I can imagine [Thursday November 5th, 2009 at 8:59pm] kinra Remember the strong bad clip where he figures his imagination's broke 'cause the best thing he can imagine is "beef... stew"? My meal at M+B Yummy tonight reveals that he was not so much unimaginative as he was prescient; connected, in a Childhood's End kind of way, to a future that had not yet been clear to him. I ate the special tonight, a vegan beef and pumpkin tibs-stew, along with vegan lasagna and salad, accompanied by the habitual sublime injera. It also came with a cupcake. It transported me out of my day, out of my body. It made me realize that food can, indeed, make one truly happy and that one should not accept less from their meals. It opened my eyes and my heart for a time, and lifted me into a state of contented celebration of who I was, what I was eating, and how I was able to experience it. It was ridiculously delicious. I am very happy. 4 >> reply >> edit

[Thursday November 5th, 2009 at 11:30am] itsemonotelmo so, i was getting ready for work this morning and i was sitting on the toilet seat lid, putting on makeup. no big deal, just doing my normal ~thang. then i started to hear this dripping sound. i looked around and didn't see anything dripping so i ignored it. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WATER STARTED POURING FROM THE CEILING ONTO MY HEAD. YES I SAID POURING. luckily i have the reflexes of a jungle cat and got up quickly so i didn't get soaked, but there was this stream of water pouring from the exhaust fan that leads to the apartment above ours. WHAT THE EFF?! i woke up gantt who was really confused about the situation because it's pretty unusual to wake up to "OH HEY GET UP THERE IS WATER POURING FROM THE BATHROOM CEILING, WANNA HELP!?" then i put a big pot on the toilet to collect the SOAPY water that was rushing out. seriously, it was like you turned a faucet on, not full blast, but about halfway. that much was coming out. gantt called the landlord while i banged on our upstairs neighbor's door. she didn't answer but i heard her shuffling around in there. ugh. anyway, the water eventually stopped leaking and then a maintenance guy showed up (thankfully this maintenance guy didn't look like he just crawled out from under a bridge, unlike the charming individuals they usually send). but seriously. WHY DO THESE THINGS HAPPEN TO ME?! 3 >> reply >> edit

Preggo Diary No. 4 (The one in which shameless manufactorers gouge money from unsuspecting preggos) [Thursday November 5th, 2009 at 11:29pm] tamgerine [ mood | amused ] [ music | Watching Mariah Carey flash her suspenders on the Ellen Degeneres Show (ew) ] My cousin and I went shopping today, and I resisted the (incredibly compelling) urge to load up on baby clothes and other paraphernalia. Seeing as we can't smoke/drink/shoot-up, we pregnant ladies develop our own extremely dangerous addiction: ridiculously over-priced baby crap. Would someone please explain to me why I would, whilst completely sober and in complete control of my mental faculties, pay over ONE THOUSAND BIG ONES for a goddamned pram??. You can kindly get fucked, unless said pram can change shitty nappies and take over the night shift. Then you can have your people call my people and hook me the fuck up with one of those wanky Bugaboo Frog thingeys. Yeah, didn't think so. It's just a fucking pram, right? Something I will only get a few years' use out of, if that. Pram Prerequisites: must be safe (must not sling baby in the air like the ACME coyote), must not be *too* ugly (or baby may puke on it just to improve its aesthetic appeal) and must not require its own mortgage or sale of parental organs to finance it. It's for the same reason that I refuse to pay more for a cot (that my baby will chew, shit in, and puke on) than I would for an adult bed. DO I HAVE *CHUMP* TATTOOED ON MY FORE-HEAD? Do you think that I'm stupid enough to believe that it must cost nearly $2,000 to be safe? THAT ONLY BAD MOTHERS REFUSED TO HAND OVER THE CASHOLA? Honey, if I pay that much just for the cot, there will be no HOUSE for the cot to sit in. Is there a RATIONAL EXPLANATION for the fact that Up The Duff by Kaz Cooke is TEN DOLLARS MORE at Borders than it was at another store? ... Why this particular book has to be FIFTY DOLLARS anyway? Fuck off. Will borrow a copy. Why does a skinny little pregnancy magazine cost $8? Whoops, already made the mistake of purchasing a massive pile of over-priced glossy wedding magazines. MANY TREES HAVE DIED, R.I.P. TREES. NO MORE WILL DIE ON MY WATCH. AND IF YOU THINK I AM GOING TO PAY $80 FOR A BABY DRESS THE SIZE OF A NAPKIN THEN YOU ARE SERIOUSLY DELUSIONAL AND SHOULD PROBABLY SEE SOMEONE ABOUT THAT. It also goes without saying that I'm totally NOT going to pay the designer prices for maternal gear, either. For just $40, I scored myself a cute pair of 3/4 length maternity jeans today - they're comfy and they hold in my already massive gut quite nicely, thank you very much. MY SECRET? TARGET IS YOUR REASONABLY PRICED FRIEND. Target also has cheap (and good quality) baby clothes, accessories, cots, prams and almost everything else you would need. Except the baby itself, but I've totally got that bit wrapped up. BRB, WORSHIPPING AT THE ALTAR OF TARGET. 21 >> reply >> edit

Preggo Diary No. 3 (Please hand me the bucket, my sanity, and a pair of ice-cubes) [Thursday November 5th, 2009 at 1:06am] tamgerine [ music | Watching shitty late night TV ads (God only knows why) ] DISCLAIMER: Before I commence my epic preggo whinge, I'm going to come right out and say how bad I feel whingeing about this stuff when there are want-to-be mums out there who would give their right leg to be hanging over a toilet bowl puking their spleen out and/or nursing burning nipples. I feel bad, sure, but many will agree with me on this one: the first 12 weeks of pregnancy can be an absolute clusterfuck of badness. START EPIC WHINGE Here's what's pissing me off right now: - Burn, baby, Burn NIPPLE INFERNO: Fucking HELL, these babies are burning so much that I'm thinking that the Fire Danger in my suburb has to be increased if they go near anything flammable. Imagine explaining how THAT fire started. My cousin's doctor told her to GO OUTSIDE AND TAN HER NIPPLES EACH DAY TO STRENGTHEN THEM. Uh, NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. My asshole neighbours are not going to get a free nipple show. MAYBE IF THEY INVITED US TO SWIM IN THEIR GODDAMN POOL, THINGS WOULD BE DIFFERENT. - I'm on the Yellow Puke Road: ... I just know it. This nausea is about to be upgraded from Incredibly Annoying Queasies to ALERT ALERT EXORCIST-STYLE PROJECTILE PUKING DETECTED any day now. Eating is an absolute challenge, and the queasies seem to be getting worse with every passing hour. Almost lost my cookies three times today, so it's a matter of "when" rather than "if" ... CLEAR THE AISLES, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SHE'S ABOUT TO BLOOOOOOOOW. - Angry Bitch Syndrome: HOLY FUCK, I JUST CANNOT HELP BITING THE HEAD OFF ANYONE WHO PISSES ME OFF. This unfortunate person is usually (but most assuredly not limited to) my poor, befuddled husband. He requested that my other pregnant friend hold my hand while I give birth to the Tamgerspawn, probably because he's afraid that I'll rip his arm off at the elbow. She suggested that he sit and watch my vajayjay end. GUESS WHAT, DARLING, I CAN STILL KICK YOU FROM OVER THERE. AND FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION. - The Miscarriage Danger Zone: It goes without saying, this is one Danger Zone that is NOT a cool place to be, bro. Every little twinge is another little reminder that OMG *SCARY STATISTIC* LOTS OF PREGNANCIES END IN MISCARRIAGE, WHARRRRGARBL. - C-C-C-Constipation: Is this supposed to be practice for the real thing? Prepare the perineum for some epic stretching? (Apparently we are meant to be massaging our 'taints to avoid tearing. LOL WUT?) ... I gave birth to a turd so large that it really should have had a pulse and be out selling funeral insurance somewhere. - Why the fuck DO MY PANTS FEEL TIGHT ALREADY? Seriously. I thought the advantage of being a chubby Mum is that you won't notice yourself getting bigger straight away. Oh, no ... my stomach needs NO EXCUSE TO SWELL UP LIKE A BEACH-BALL ON 'ROIDS apparently. - Oh, how AWESOME, you won't have a period for at least nine months, WOO: ... except they neglect to mention that some of us will bleed, and MOST of us will have bitchin' cramps anyway. Suck it up, Tam: whether I deliver this baby full-term or miscarry it from this point (God forbid), IT'S NOT GOING TO TICKLE. Mr T says ... SNICKERS - GET SOME NUTS! - Sweating like a fat truckie: is exactly as fun as it sounds. - ... and being able to smell EVERY MOLECULE OF IT, and everything else that smells funky: ATTENTION TAM - your cat just did a fucking putrid shit. YOUR NOSE WANTS YOU TO KNOW ALLLL ABOUT IT FOR SOME REASON. Memo to Tam from nose: cat shit smells extremely funky. DO NOT EAT IT, IT IS BAD FOR YOUR BABY. WRITE THIS DOWN, IT'S IMPORTANT, OK? - Yo, dawg, I heard you like fatass zits, so I put a fatass zit on another fatass zit so you can squirt pus at your mirror like a pro: I'm not kidding. I really do have a zit on a zit. WAIT A MINUTE. ARE THEY SHAGGING? IS THIS HOW THEY MAKE MORE ZITS? - Wacky sleeping patterns: Okay, this has GOT to be practice for handling a screaming infant who just doesn't want to go to sleep, no matter how many limbs you would give up if YOUR DARLING BABY WOULD JUST CLOSE HER MOUTH AND EYES FOR TEN GODDAMN MINUTES. I feel like sleeping during the day, and at night (note that it is 2 a.m.) I just don't want to sleep. I toss, and I turn, and I annoy the shit out of my already frazzled husband. Haha, guess HE needs to get used to sleep deprivation too ;) - Headaches: ... these are like the steak-knives of the pregnancy world. Pregnancy is so much fun ladies, you're getting great value from your hormones here. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MOOOOOOOORE. The steak knife? IS IN YOUR BRAIN, GIVING YOU HURTY TIME. - And finally, the attendant guilt you feel for not loving every minute of your pregnancy: YOU'RE A WOMYN, THIS IS A PRESHUS TIME IN YOUR LIFE, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO REJOICE EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY AT THE MIRIKIL OF LIFFFE. Oh FUCK OFF. I am entitled to be a CRANKY BITCH. END EPIC WHINGE. SORRY. I CAN'T GIVE YOU THAT FIVE MINUTES BACK ... SO DON'T ASK ME, BECAUSE I'LL PROBABLY ISSUE A NASTY STRING OF PROFANITIES AT YOU AND FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION. JUST SAYING. Don't get me wrong, I just enjoy a good rant. More satisfying than a good shit, and it doesn't cost you a cent. Weeee. And yes, I am extremely excited to be pregnant. It goes without saying: I am eagerly looking forward to laying eyes on the Tamgerspawn for the very first time. I am so lucky that our journey to conception was short and without pit-falls (HAH! WEDDING NIGHT CONCEPTION!). I am very fortunate that I live in a country where the obstetric care is more than adequate (and not prohibitively expensive). I have an amazing husband who still wants to stand by my side even though MechaStreisandTamgerbitch makes an hourly appearance. There have been many moments where I have smiled dorkily to myself, because my little rice-sized Tamgerspawn is nestling up thar in my uterus - getting bigger every day. As the baby grows, there will be more and more unforgettable moments - the first scan, hearing that heartbeat, the first kick. My friend carries her ultrasound picture to reminder her that every shitty moment is just a stepping stone towards something new and exciting :) ... and that's a good way to be. 21 >> reply >> edit

For Halloween, I'm dressing up as purple, which is my favorite colour (no, my favorite colour isn't blue, which is probably what you'd assume), and I'm toying with the idea of colour my hair purple for this occasion.

Java of a different kind [Friday October 30th, 2009 at 11:04am] abluegirl [ mood | intimidated ] On a work related note, I'm trying to get back into Java. I'm mildly intimidated by Java, as it has never been my area of expertise. I used to have a fair grasp of it about six years ago or so when i started working in JSP a fair bit, but I haven't touched it in at least 4.5 years. I've been strictly a .Net kind of girl for the past little while. Java has been a real gap in my knowledge for a while, and i feel compelled to pick it up again. It's kind of fun, yet kind of scary at the same time because i see Java as being this strange, foreign land that is hard to integrate oneself into. I have to get over that, big time. I'm trying to put both the Java and .Net SDK's for one of our server applications on my machine, and it is a trial and a half. Keep your fingers crossed for me! 1 >> reply >> edit

Week One of WW [Friday October 30th, 2009 at 10:33am] abluegirl [ mood | good ] So i finished my first week back on WeightWatchers, and I'm done 4 pounds! Go me! I really feel that I can keep it up this time, even in the face of the oncoming candy inundation. The thing about Halloween candy is that the only things that i really love are Fuzzy Peaches, so i just won't buy them. The rest of the candy i can take or leave. I feel pretty good about my success this week. I joined a gym, did Pilates twice this week, and i cut my portions down (not significantly so, i might add), and stopped snacking after dinner. Oh, i also stopped eating my kids' leftovers. That was one of my really bad stumbling points. I'd finish dinner, and usually it would be such a good meal that i'd eat whatever the kids didn't. I put a stop to that, and i think that stop is helping. I feel much better too - a lot less bloated than I did before. This makes a world of difference. YAY! I've managed to cut my caffiene intake by half, and I haven't noticed a difference in my energy levels. Yesterday, i went the whole day in the office without having any coffee, which is a first for me. I had a couple of cups before i left the house, but that was it. I really, really love coffee, so being able to go a whole work day without it is a big deal. I'd like to cut my intake by half again, and maybe get down to 1 cup a day before eliminating it entirely. Go me! 9 >> reply >> edit

Preggo Diary No. 2 (Looks like Adam will be cleaning the kitty litter for awhile) [Friday October 30th, 2009 at 6:33pm] tamgerine [ mood | calm ] [ music | "Disturbia" Rihanna ] Holy fucknuts, there is so much shit YOU JUST CAN'T DO when you are preggers. I'm just soooooooooo devastated that I'm not allowed to clean the cat litter any more. HOW AM I GOING TO GO NINE MONTHS WITHOUT SCOOPING CAT SHIT WITH THE LITTLE YELLOW SHOVEL? Please tell me how I'm going to survive nine months of not cleaning Pixel's shit off the FUCKING LAUNDRY FLOOR. LOL. It almost makes up for not being able to drink for the duration of my gestation. I'm not that much of an alcoholic, but how cruel is it that you have to put up with all the pregnancy bull-shit and not be able to say, "fuck it!" and knock back a vodka. CRUEL, CRUEL, CRUEL. Maybe if vodka was allowed, I would have actually slept last night - but I'm coming down with a mild 'flu (or it's just preggo aches) - and I was in fucking agony all night from aches/cramps all over my body. Literally head to toe. It wasn't until this morning, when I had the awesome idea of sleeping on top of two blankets and one of our super-expensive sleeping bags (comfy!) that I finally had a decent bout of sleep. Yes, our mattress is slightly on the "concrete-slab" side of the soft/hard scale - that's how Adam likes it. Normally, I don't mind it hard (giggity), but these days? Not so much. My body is like "Oi, bitch, please to be making me comfy while I cook your baby!" Naturally, my tits are fucking pissed off with me right now, judging the amount of hurt they are sending my way. Taking off my bra is an exercise in agony - I flop the girls out and I'm introduced to a WORLD OF PAIN. Meyaaaaaaaaaaargh! The paper-work for the maternity hospital arrived yesterday, along with a handy little pamphlet about LISTERIOSIS (DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN). Listeria monocytogenes is serious business indeed - it seriously needs its own evil theme music. There is so much shit that can hurt your baby, especially when it pops out - but I think some people take it too far. Is a crash helmet for your crawling baby REALLY necessary? Except for the LOLZ? And teeny-tiny disposable gloves for taking your precious snow-flake out of your PRISTINE HOUSE into the OMG-GERM-RIDDEN WORLD? I'm serious, THEY MAKE THIS SHIT AND PEOPLE BUY IT. Another visit to the doctors - from now on, my visits will be with the Obstetricians at my GP office and at the hospital :) I'm actually about 6 weeks' pregnant, as the figure given on Monday was how many weeks since contraception. You actually get two free weeks as they include the follicular phase (when the egg is a cookin' in your ovaries) before the conception itself. I am also excited because Mum's awesome new partner, Gary (who is fucking awesome, by the way) is flying Mum down to Melbourne for my first scan. Squeeeeeeeeee. Ooooh, dinner's here, must wrap up. NOM NOM NOM SATAY PIZZA. I'll leave you with some pictureses of the delicious fruit crushie we made with our blender just before.

BY THE WAY, THE IMPERIAL MARCH ENTRY INTO OUR WEDDING RECEPTION WAS TOTALLY EPIC [Tuesday October 27th, 2009 at 6:24pm] tamgerine [ mood | bouncy ] [ music | "Teardrops" Newton Faulkner version ] OMG, F-LIST, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ABOUT THAT. SHOCK. HORROR. BAD TAMGERINE :( So yeah, after all of your encouragement (woot) I totally decided that it would be a CAPITAL IDEA to surprise my new husband by playing the Imperial March as we enter the reception. I needed to be super sneaky to pull it off though. Before we met the DJ, I sent him a text telling him what I wanted to do. Then, the both of us had to keep straight faces when all three of us were together talking about the wedding music. We picked "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas as the intro song, and Adam had no idea what shennanigans had been planned. After the meeting, I had to be a super-sleuth and e-mail the DJ. I almost managed to tell everyone what was going on without Adam finding out, tee hee hee. On the day, the DJ actually did it really well. He played "I Gotta Feeling" as the rest of the bridal party entered, then segued seamlessly into the Imperial March when we came in. The expression on Adam's face was priceless (and I think the photographers got a good picture of it, haha) ... unfortunately, the person videotaping it on their camera fucked it up, so I don't think there is video evidence. Oh well. IT WAS STILL EPICLY EPIC LIEK OMG. Urgh, was a boring day ... did lots of washing. Still got a fuck-ton more to do, not mention cleaning this pigsty of a house. My cousin is coming to stay for a week, she needs some down-time from her stressful job (child-protection case worker - eep) ... so we are going to chill out and have some fun. The highlight of the day was an invite from Ally and Trent - they booked a beach-house for a weekend in December - MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND OMG - and we are all invited to go along and participate in many drunken shennanigans (except I may have a medical reason for not being drunk, hahaha ;) ). Still will be hella fun, watching drunken idiots is just as fun as being one (especially when you are armed with a CAMERA ... dun dun DUN). I have so much shit to do and so little motivation. COME BACK MOTIVATION, I'LL GIVE YOU A COOKIE. 6 >> reply >> edit

Preggo Diary no. 1 (it's official!) [Tuesday October 27th, 2009 at 4:54pm] tamgerine [ mood | bouncy ] [ music | "Time after Time" Eva Cassidy ] It began with a faint line on a home-pregnancy test. Okay, it actually began with some sexy times - but you get what I mean. In between, there will most likely be a lot of whacky pregnancy mood swings, puking, huge titzillas, bizarre cravings, myself looking like a whale, panic attacks, sore bazoongas, shennanigans, a whole lot of cleaning, doctors, wharrgarbl and who knows what else. It will end with me (hopefully) giving birth to a viable newborn human (what were you expecting, Mum, a litter of kittens?) The doctor confirmed it. Enough hCG (hormone of horror produced once embryo has implanted) in my blood to indicate that I'm about three to four weeks pregnant. I thought that I'd be further along, but thanks to my somewhat random cycles, I have no idea when my wee embryo was actually conceived. Except that it was either on my wedding night or on my honeymoon. Giggity. Naturally, it's all a bit of a trip - but it feels very real. The hCG has hit my system like a freight train driven by a meth-addict, and I am already enjoying the following fun symptoms: nausea, fucking sore tits, bloating, mood-swings from hell (thinking of going out on hallowe'en as myself - behold, BATSHIT CRAZY PREGNANT LADY, run kids!) headaches and *yawn* excessive fatigue. Things are starting to gross me out more - like, right now, my cat is licking her privates and the slurp, slurp, slurrrrrrp sound is really enticing Mr. Projectile Vomit into the house right about now. BAD KITTY, LICK ANY MORE AND THERE WON'T BE AN ASSHOLE LEFT!! What's that about crazy pregnancy hormones? *eek* ... I just wonder what Renesmee the Fibroid thinks of all this. IF YOU EAT MY EMBRYO, RENESMEE, I WILL KILL YOU. THAT'S A PROMISE. >:| So yeah, f-list, you'll get to endure eight more months of crazy whining preggo lady, lucky you! Your reward? Cute baby photos. My reward? A baby and an extra-stretchy giney. Woot! [entry now unlocked] 2 >> reply >> edit
