Freaks of the world, UNITE!
Fly it high
fly it proud
get funky
be loud
people will stare
you'll probably draw a crowd
jaws are gonna drop
hear them say, "oh wow!"
Who knows!?! You just might encourage one person today to unleash their inner freak!
(or not)
Improv, baby! Improv!
Can you tell that I was really tired of staring at other post? And look at the shit I come up with to take its place! Insanity, I tell you! Insanity!

Mine is purple with multi-colored hearts, teardrops, rainbows, daggers, skulls, and zombies!
Happy Thursday!
I better get my ass in gear! Later, guys!
Oh and also unicorns, my flag has unicorns and music notes!
do you run and make the gear changing sounds when you're getting your ass in gear? Because that's what we do around here.
I'm gonna let my freak flag fly
I've been a fool a lifetime
But today I'll be the king
I'm gonna let my freak flag fly
Waving high up in the air
For everyone to see
I'm the best thing that you ever had
How could you let me go?
How could you let me walk away?
When the only one i ever
Really care about is you
I don't care what the people say
I'm gonna let my freak flag fly
I've been a fool a lifetime
But today I'll be the king
I'm gonna let my fread flag fly
Waving high up in the air
For everyone to see
Noone takes me seriously
Because I'm such a fool
And everybody knows it's true
But everything I've ever done
I've done because of you
Yeah this is what I have to do
I let my freak flag fly
Where did it all go wrong?
And why d'you keep pretending when you knew it all along?
Now the people that I used to know
All laugh behind my back
They think that it's some kind of joke
And everybody stares at me
Like it's some crazy act
But today I'm gonna let them know
I let my freak flag fly
I let my freak flag fly
I let my freak flag fly

My SIL had a shop called Freak Flag. She made the most amazing clothes. Her patterns were just gorgeous.
Unfortunately, she only sewed for those who wore a size 3 or under. (3 was for the chubby girl)
I never was able to squeeze myself into any of her creations, but I sure loved to look at them.
Have a great day gang.

Hi Errbody! Just a quick in and out from me too. Just got back from the pub so I'm feeling all merry! Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!
The Killers played at the O2 last week and I was gutted I couldn't get tickets. :(
My freak flag is pink, purple and white tie dye and has holes in it!
Hiya peeps.
My freak flag? why yellow and sparkly and covered in little pizza motifs of course.
Nighty night porch.
BOO!
What's up, RW?
Hi, Solly :)
I iz just surfin'.
How are you doing?
I'm okay. Just watchin' the AI results show and they're draggin' this shit out as usual.
How you doin?
I'm stressed, but getting better I think.
Same shit. It's going to be on-going for a while, I think. But it needs to be dealt with.
At least my parents are being supportive now.
Today was the first day this week I was able to eat anything of substance. I have dropped a noticable amount of weight over the past several days, and not in a healthy way. At least I was able to sleep last night, and I think I'll be able to sleep fine tonight too.
Gosh, I knew you were stressed and kind of frustrated but I had no idea it was at such a high level to keep from eating and sleeping.
Yeah. It's my fault though. I have a habit of being very hard on myself :/
Well, I can relate to that part.
So you think you're over the hump now?
No, I don't think so, not yet. I have a phone consultation tomorrow that I have to deal with first. From there, I can decide what my course of action will be. Once I decide & get started on that I think it will start to get better.
Consultation?
A phone consultation with a debt settlement consultant.
Ooooooooh, okay, that's what I thought, but for one split second, I was like, "oh shit, what if it's some medical thing?"! That's why I wanted to be sure. My crazy mind gets to going into all sorts of places.
I think that'll be good! They should be able to set your mind at ease a bit and point you in the right direction, don't ya think?
I hope so! I'm nervous about it though because I have this irrational fear that they will tell me that they can't help me. I suppose that's always a possibility, but I think it's a very slim possibility. And anyway, if they think that they will still give me a list of options, so it will have been worth it regardless.
Anyway, Solly, I have taken some Neo Citrin to help me sleep & it is kicking in. I am off for a quick baff, then bed.
I wish you a very pleasant evening :)
Oh, or maybe they will chuckle at you because it's not nearly as bad as you think it is. Seriously, I'm sure they have got see all kinds of debt and yours might be bad (to you) but I bet it ain't as bad as some.
So maybe, they'll calm your fears. Give you some good advice! Help a sistah out!
I hope you sleep well, RW!
From what I've seen on their web site, they are very knowledgeable & empathetic people, so I hope the phone thing will go well.
I am off to bed... Have a good one :)
hey girls!
my freak flag is red sequined with birdy feathers! you just knew that didn't you!
hi porch!
oh hi Brandon! wow, nice to see you, and i knew there would be sequins and feathers! i just fuckin knew it!
(smile with me porchies!!)
happy fridays people!
RW good luck with your phone consultation. sounds scary as hell, but *deep breath* and go for it. it is their job, that's what they do.
laters!
solly is princess OK? i know she had a Doctor's appt?
i worry!
and has anyone seen Kapunua around?
Hi Brandon!
*winks* Your freak flag is gorgeous just like you!
Hi FASC!
Princess is okay, just crazy busy! She went back to the doctor and right now they're just working on finding the right combo of meds for her.
I've talked to Jules here and there on Facebook. I think she's been totally wrapped up in midterms and school this week.
Have freakin' fantabulous Friday, Guys!
thanks solly!
gotta run!
RW good luck with your phone consultation. sounds scary as hell, but *deep breath* and go for it. it is their job, that's what they do.
Thank you, FASC :) I hate doing any dealings over the phone, but it needs to be done. It would have been better if I had had a good night's sleep behind me, but my landlady's daughter decided to play the piano right over my head at 11:30pm & woke me up. I slept fitfully after that & I feel a bit shaky today.
Anyway, time for me to head out.
Have a good day, all :)
Two of you have written me messages asking where I've been and if all was cool, and I thank you for that. I really do appreciate it. One I answered already, and one I owe an answer to. :)
My crow does this funny thing. When he's pissed off or frustrated and he can't reach the object of his frustration (a stranger, birds outside, leaves going by, the wind stirring the trees,) he will grab onto his toy and shake it like crazy, and bite it, peck it, and wing-slap it. Actually my dogs do the same thing. When they are thwarted or frustrated, they grab their chew-toys and start ripping them to shreds. It's cute when my pets do it.
It is not cute when people do it. Not once have I been in some sort of real-life situation of grief or anger or frustration and come to the blog to call people c--- or bitch or whatever. That's not to say that I haven't been in situations of grief or worry--obviously I have, and one of those situations of worry is pretty recent--and that's also not to say that if someone is needling me over that situation (you all know I'm talking about "Wizbef/Twuntburger") that I won't lose my cool and give it right back to them. But I have never found, say, one specific, unpopular target and taken it out on them, just 'cause they were there.
I would also never: take stuff written on a blog and send it out somewhere else in order to cause trouble; give up someone's personal info; anonymously quote out of someone's email in order to bait them; threaten to screencap their private info; call them such disgusting and vulgar names; try to exert my will on some web page over something as trivial as poetry and quotes and call them names when they didn't comply; insult people's families; (choose your weapon, because those people have pretty much done it all.) I have never been that mad, or if I have, then I have never acted on it in such ways that are, well, actually pretty goddamn emotionally unstable, if you ask me.
How is that acceptable in any form of society? In real life or on the internet? Would those people do that stuff in real life?
I'm tired of being the chew toy.
I don't do "fake nice" very well. I'm sure most of you have noticed that. Once someone treats me or my friends, or my family, so shabbily, well I am afraid that's about it for them. I did "fake nice" with my douchebag of an ex-boss for nine years out of necessity, in an enforced situation, and believe me he was pretty abusive to me. Of course, he never called me those exact names and he never acted that psycho to me, but he did eventually prove himself to be one of the biggest eaters of a huge bag of crap in the known universe. And I wouldn't spit on him if he was on fire. I might if he wasn't, though. Like if I saw him, non-combusting, in the grocery store or something. ;)
So, I don't start junk, and I don't go psycho over stuff the way others do, but I also don't "fake nice" and I don't really care if those people like me or hate me. (Well, I care when they affect my real life, obviously, but hey.)
And it just galls me when I see other people having to "fake nice" to those kinds of people, especially when I perceive that they're doing it to keep the peace for Mayo - or for me. That's even worse. When I see others having to kowtow to that kind of person and it might be because they want to spare me anymore "chewing," it makes me feel really bad. I know that many people aren't sincere in their "nice-making" and it just irks me that I might be the cause of that. I feel really bad.
So there are those people who I feel I've put on the spot in that way, and then there are those who aren't being fake about it at all. There are those others who think, "Well, so and so had a bad day / was angry / whatever, so it's okay if they do those things." I don't know which I think is worse. Then there are the "Oh yes, it's so terrible what happens to you, oh my goodness how awful," people who seem to pretend that it's only "anons" who do that kind of stuff. The truth is that it's only been a few "anons" with stuff to say about me and my friends; the real hardcore crazy stuff has come from people who are signed in. I don't see how that is any better or more "honorable" to tell you the truth.
I'm not leaving the blog or anything, but here's what happened. The other day I was studying for my midterm and I had the open book in my lap. I was trying to take notes and I was writing down word after word but my brain was going, "Seriously, why is that okay? Why is that acceptable? Why is harassment winked at?" And I realized that I wasn't studying at all. I was dwelling on stupid internet drama. That was the first time that I was away from the blog and something from the blog was affecting me. The second that happened, I knew I had to take a few steps back. Why should I let that sort of person get to me? Why should I even give them the compliment of my time and energy? I shouldn't, but I was.
I'll definitely still pop in there to say hi, tell a story or two, share a link or a poem or some-such. But I just can't be letting that stuff get to me; especially not now, when I'm trying to focus on something important. I have a lot on my plate; not just school, but family members, some serious issues with other family members, illness, friends and their troubles, freaking world travel, a new upcoming job for which I am woefully unprepared so far, and some big choices to make. How in the hell did I let some wackjobs on an anonymous blog make me stop concentrating on my midterm? When if anything makes me stop studying, it should be something typical, like a video game or something. ;D
I will absolutely pop up here, and there, and blah blah blah, but I think that people like Fimble and Anima (and lately, many others) have the right idea when they just up and disappear for a while, coming in to say hi now and then or share something cool.
Well, that's that. I thank the two of you who contacted me, and also Solly and Princess who said hi on FB. :) I spend inordinate amounts of time there when I'm supposed to be studying. ;) Like now. Oh my gosh.
The weather here is a lovely 55 and I am stuck inside with all these goddamn books. I hope that some of you get the chance to go outside and frolic today!
45 at 12:00! Nice!
K, that was wonderfully written and I understand.
I did notice your absence, but figured it was due to school. Thank you for letting me know what was going on.
My once-in-a-blue-moon evening on the blog happened the other night and it was so quiet over here. I think I heard the crickets for a bit.
I miss those days of gabbing all night. No fights. No harsh words. Just good, clean, stupid fun.
Amen, amen and amen. :)
I hear you, Jules and I understand what you're talking about.
Jenn,
I miss that, too. :(
Well, gotta finish out the day.
Later folks.
*sticks leg in water*
Hello?
Anybody still hanging around?
Well, as I'm taking a break from Jane Fonda's torture to... uh... not smoke....
Because that's silly! Who would interrupt a 90 minute workout half way to light up???
Haven't talked in anything like 'real time' with ya all for forever and wanted to say hi.
As some of you may know, I'm reluctant to speak on other blogs unless first spoken to cuz I'm nutty and my moment of manic insanity a while back.
I hope your weekends are full of warmth and splendor.
Boo?
Oh! Hullo, KI :) Sorry I missed you. It's lovely to see you around!
*hoists a blag flag with a long white cloud.
On the reverse side are swirls of blue and silver, with fluorescent green smiling dragons, waving smokey incense sticks, whilst sitting on wooden rockinghorses*
Morning sleepyheads. =)
I'm pleased to see you are not all completely gone, but I completely understand the taking a step back. It is very restorative.
Far, the f***ing neck, indeed!
Pity her poor boyfriend, probably lurched over, holding his head, muttering what the hell do I do to better Hugh?!
Would you dare be late with this kitty's dinner time? O_O
Wishing you all well. =)
It went okay. But I think I don't want to talk about it any more because it's just stressing me out :/
I understand, RW, and Saturdays should NOT be for stressing out.
Got any plans?
Just trying to catch up on sleep, I guess. I haven't slept well this week. Also the usual cleaning and stuffs.
How about you, Solly? Any plans?
