Politics, Home Studies, and Comedy

Why do you post things that annoy you and you know will annoy the rest of us? :/ But I'll delve beyond my irritation. So hubbikins, you think she's stupid. I think she's very smart. She's appealing to a select crowd that will identify with her and always believe in her because she says what they want to hear. I don't think it's an overall effective approach to advancement, but who said that was truly her aim? Yeah she ran for VP, but did she REALLY want it? Do you think she's still really trying to get a seat on the top government circle? I don't. I think she's securing her place as spokesperson for the outright crazy-paranoid-gun-loving-moderately-intelligent people that don't understand enough, but understand what she wants them to and therefore will support her because she 'speaks to their (perceived) needs'.
To be honest, the only way I see myself as different from her followers is: I recognize that I'm unable to fully understand all the nuances of all the bills and restrictions, and therefore refuse to buy into the 'let me dum this down for you and you trust it based on your belief in me' craziness most people do.
Damnit. I hate getting political. *sigh* You know, it would be highly, highly ironic if one day I become a ruling political figure in society and this blog is seen and exposed as mine. ....Not that I have such aspirations occasionally... *coughcough*

So new subject! Pineapps and babydaddy already talked with us about the home study done, but I'll go ahead and briefly sum it up.
~It took a full three hours. (I was rather surprised)
~She was very focused on why Mimi was taken in the first place (and I'm not fully cognizant of the particulars of that)
~She asked all sorts of questions about my family.... and it took an hour (just with me) to get it all out in the open. (Hubby's was 30 or so minutes)
~She asked our opinions on our family's actions, and wrote them down (Which gave me the willies because I can't stand the idea of someone I don't know having inside knowledge of myself without my permission. Kinda ironic considering this is a blog....But I believe they're different. Mainly because she's the one who wrote it, and not me, so I don't know what she perceived and that worries me.)
~She separated us and questioned us about various things
~Her questions were too vague for me, so I asked clarifying questions which maybe made me sound like a liar or bullshitter or something. She didn't seem to like me very much. At least she liked Hubby.
~Kitty kat cried most of the time she was here. I was a little embarrassed.
~She wouldn't accept anything to eat or drink. It threw me off because a good hostess always has something on hand to tempt the guests. I know it's probably a regulation or rule or something, but it really bothered me.

And I'll let that be the summation. I've finished rereading the Collegium Chronicles series up to the most recently published, but it still isn't available for me to borrow from the library yet, so I'm rather anxious.

I caught up my Clinic hours and again will be finished on May 15th! I took a classmate's 6 o'clock today because she didn't know she was signed up for 4 sessions and she really didn't want to do it. That gave me four sessions today, but my first canceled and I had a break between my first three and that extra I added. We went to eat at Cici's (because I was uber hungry and not able to eat anything at home without compromising my breath. I really wanted my tuna..... :( ). Then I came home and napped for maybe an hour before Hubby tried to get me up. Apparently I was being a brat, so he stopped and told me to deal with it on my own. I curled up and went back to sleep, but woke 5 minutes before I had to be out the door and got there fine. After my final session I sat around in the clinic area and wrote my session notes. I've noticed lately that being around other people is just too distracting and frankly, annoying. I planned for Hubby to make dinner, but he wasn't done when I got home, so I spent the next hour helping make it, then we watched Big Bang Theory while we ate. I really do think it's a very funny show. Yes, I'm a serious person, but I enjoy some good humor too. I think the problem with a lot of peeps is their overly serious natures.

**Disclaimer!! The following humor is somewhat offensive and can be seen as Politically 'Incorrect'. I enjoy it anyway, but you may not. You have been warned.**

This is my sisters' type of humor. I think it really surprises them when I admit to liking some of their favorite comedians like Kat Williams. This guy isn't too bad either once you stop thinking of certain words as curse words and take them as something similar to pronouns instead.



This is more my type of humor. A mixture of dry and juvenile:



This is a little off-subject, but I really want the DDR for the computer.... and pads to dance at home with. I used to do it in High school and I remember dropping ten pounds easily. Then I hurt my foot. So I have to be sure not to overdo it, but I would love to be able to play it at home again. I'm not sure about get pads for a computer, and the games working on a computer either though. :/ It makes me feel a little stupid, but I don't really get it, even though I looked it up. Hmph... Well, here's some music to say goodnight. Nevermind. I'm watching too many comedy shows.

I posted it because it was interesting, and I think the fact that she has the power to speak at all to any substantial audience shows that this country is getting desperate and perhaps not heading in the right direction. Not that I think anyone who actually believes the crap coming out of her mouth will hold any real power.

It seems really weird and hypocritical coming from me, but you need to be more confident when talking to strangers, especially for important things like interviews. Don't worry about what other people are thinking. And don't feel rushed to answer the question or decipher it instantly. You will look better if you take time to think about what you want to say before you say it and sound more confident as well. For people who don't know you, stumbling can make you look like you don't know what you are talking about or telling them what you think they want to hear, neither of which is good. And if you really don't understand the question, then it is best to ask clarifying questions. But sometimes it's best to not overthink it and just answer the question you think they are asking, because at least then you will sound confident. If you get it wrong or it isn't what they are looking for, they will usually rephrase it for you.

I'm glad the home study seemed to go pretty well!

Yay for being done on May 15th! I think college is done on May 18th or 17th? Wow!
