* Fuck. They all are going delete me off their readers, facebooks and twitters because they are now creeped out by that girl who thinks she is lovely.

** Seriously, it’s been proven and you don’t want to suck at life, amiright?***

*** I’m totally right. I couldn’t be anymore right.

**** Why are you still reading this? Go read their blogs now.

Add me on Facebook. One day I will figure out how to use it. Drop me a note when you add me so I know who you are. Blog pseudonyms, new people, lurkers – it can get confusing!

Join my blog networks on Facebook.

If for some ridiculous reason you are not on twitter and wasting your life away one tweet at a time like me, what are you waiting for? Get on that.

Oh wait, one more. Vote for me in the Blogger’s Choice Awards. Then vote for everyone I voted for because obviously they are effin’ awesome.

Leave your links in the comments and we will be BFF everywhere on the internetz.

What the FUCK was on Jerell’s head?!

This thought was followed closely by Joe and Suede’s hideous designs for a twenty something.

How in the world did half of these designers get this far?

And why did they not send Jerell home for that thing on his head?

He looks like he is going to go frolic with some gnomes and elves in the Forbidden Forest.

Sleeping late, cuddling in bed with puppers, laptop at hand for scheduling giveaways and features for my shopping blog and daytime television.

It’s a good morning.

We all hate them. They are ridiculous. They are cheesy. Attention whores. We could go on for days, right?

But in reality, they are geniuses. Marketing geniuses.

They know we know they plan all their photo shoots. They don’t care though. Why? Because they are making bank! How else do you think Heidi manages to stay in Hermes and Louboutin?

People will talk (like I am doing right now) about how ridiculous they are, how staged and fake it all is but we’re just giving them more press.  And that is just making them more money.

So Spencer and Heidi – get that cash. I’m not mad at you but I think you are ridiculous. I know if I could $3 million* off a fake reality television show and some staged photo ops, I’d be all over that shit!

See with this post here, I’m contributing to Speidi’s retirement fund!

Fuck.

* No, they have really made that much. Seriously.

Yes, I know this post doesn’t make much sense. It’s rambling, long winded and redundant. Whatever. I needed a rant. Also, you may find this annoying or full of complaints so don’t read it.

I’ve been feeling very overwhelmed lately. My family life at home is just exactly like this title.

It’s TOXIC.

This whole year has been so fucked up. Days after Christmas of last year, my mother dropped the divorce bomb out of nowhere. The divorce was final days before my birthday but guess what? She is still here.eeee

She is still fucking living here and my dad is too nice to say, “You broke us. Why the fuck are you still here?”

Instead he sits quietly while she parades around like nothing has ever happened. The divorce that she never wanted her children to know about happened. She’s home free. She didn’t want anymore responsibilities but for some reason she is still here. It’s just beyond me.

Everything is not okay.

We are not okay.

There is nothing but financial troubles, drama and tension.

My mother is so completely self absorbed since this all happened. She’s started getting her hair and nails done every few weeks. Buys all kinds of fancy ass body products. She think since she lots a few pounds she can dress like a teenager. I wouldn’t even wear this shit and I’m 24! It’s all about her. She only cares about things that affect her. If it doesn’t somehow lead back to her, she “can’t even worry about that right now”. Groceries, lending your kids $20 bucks, making an appointment for this or that for someone else? No chance in hell.

Then we have my dad. He has dealt with depression for as long as I can remember so this past year has just thrown him into a tailspin. Now he has started “dating”. Internet dating sites and myspace. Five days of talking to someone online and one date in person and he’s in love. Ready to take her to meet his mother! Meet the whole family! Bring her to my house that my mother, his ex-wife, is still currently inhabiting.

Yeah, that’s fucking genius!

My brother is mad at the fucking world. The sister is in another state and is practically oblivious to all that’s going on.

Not having a stable home life has really screwed me up. I have no one to depend on here. No one to lean on. Yeah, I’m a big girl and I’m pretty independant but you should be able to count on your family when you need them.

I feel like I’ve cried more this year, than I have in my entire life. It’s always something with them. I’ve never felt more frustrated, angry and confused. I work myself up into these emotional messes where I just end up breaking down in tears and sometimes I don’t even know why I’m crying. I’m stressed and need a break. I just can’t do this anymore. I feel like I’m just a mess mentally and physically. It’s a horrible feeling.

I’m at the point where I feel I should just look for a full time job so I can afford to just get out of this house. I can’t be here anymore. I’ll go to night school.

I really don’t think I can take much more.

2008 needs to be over.

ETA: Right now, I’m just talking about not being able to depend on family. I know I have friends and I have the most amazing boyfriend who is there for me all the time. It’s just hard realizing the people who are always suppose to be there for you, are too wrapped up in themselves to care. And yes, I’ve talked to them. According to them, it seems I’m the irrational and selfish one so yeah…

This weekend boyfriend and I seen two new movies. Okay well, one isn’t new but was new to me.

I loved Burned After Reading. Brad Pitt was really funny. Tilda Swinton kind of looks like an alien. Definitely go see this one though!

I had heard that Smart People was an iffy one. Everyone wasn’t sure if they liked it or not. I liked it a lot though. It was funny, interesting and well…smart.

What movies have you seen recently?

Are they Netflix worthy? I need to add some to boyfriend’s queue!

Tina Fey made an amazing guest appearance last night on Saturday Night Live as Sarah Palin. She has Palin on lock.

Love it!

Until I can get this video to embed, click on the link below!

Thoughts?

I missed the first 15 minutes of this weeks episode and turned on just in time to see little Hannah get pounced on for being racist. Like Mikey said in the comments, she just doesn’t realize what she is saying. The little bumpkin needs to realize this isn’t Alaska anymore and people are very different from what she is use to.

Then there was posing challenge with feet behind the heads and purses all up in the va-jay-jay. These girls need to open up a damn magazine and see how real models pose because seriously? Just..seriously??

Let’s get on to the photoshoot!
