8:38 pm	Deleting my IJ account I'm going to close my IJ in a few days.  I always hate it when people make this sort of announcement and I wouldn't do it except that I would like to give you the opportunity to save my philflamericks if you want to.

9:58 pm	Favorite Fives I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted one of these. Top Five Petty Irritations: 1. I hate it when people hand you money with the change piled on top of the bills. I was at the bank recently and the teller very carefully balanced the quarters, dimes and pennies on top of the $20 she was handing me. What was I supposed to do with it once she handed it to me? 2. I find it irritating when you go to a store with double doors but one of them is locked. 3. I wish all public restrooms had self-flushing toilets. I can't tell you how many times I've washed my hands only to realize I had forgotten to flush. Then you have to wash your hands all over again. 4. When I go to a steakhouse I expect to find steak (or some sort of beef) on the menu. I have recently gone to several steakhouses to find that all appetizers and more then half of the regular menu is fish or some sort of seafood. 5. I'm not sure when "No problem" took the place of "You're welcome." I don't mind it when someone actually does something for you and you say "Thank you" but when a waiter says "No problem" I want to say, "Of course it's not a problem - it's your job." Don't get me wrong, I think waiting tables is one of the most difficult jobs around, but I also don't think asking a waiter to bring you a fork should give you the impression that they are doing you a favor. So what are some of your pet peeves? (7 Comments |Comment on this)

8:18 pm	Favorite Fives Five Living People I Would Like to Meet   President Bill Clinton – He must be amazing to meet in person.   Tom Hanks – I’d like to know if he’s really as nice as he seems to be.   Henry Hook – He is the ultimate Cryptic Crossword Guru. He find meanings of words and anagrams that are amazing.   Martin Sheen – I’d like to ask him how a well-educated, polished, seemingly well adjusted man could have a skuzzy son like Charlie   Bob Dancer – He literally wrote the book on Video Poker. I’d like to ask him why you’re never supposed to hold Deuce-4-6 in Deuces Wild. Anyone you would like to meet?     (4 Comments |Comment on this)

5:43 pm	Favorite Fives Favorite Fives for New Years The obvious Favorite Five for today would be Five New Year's Resolutions but since I don't make those I'm going to list the top five things I am going to try to do this year - in no particular order. 1. I'm going to try to treat me daughter like the adult that she is. This will not be easy since I'm still her mother - LOL! 2. I'm going to try to exercise every day. I've been doing that for years now so it shouldn't be too difficult to continue but who knows. 3. I'm going to try to re-connect with friends with whom I've lost touch. The Internet should make that easier 4. I'm going to try to eat yogurt every day. I'm convinced it's a miracle food. 5. I'm going to try to write more. Not sure what - post on my journals more, write more drabbles, write the story of my life (just seeing if you're listening). So what are some things you are going to try to do in 2010?

7:50 pm	My version of 'Twas The Night Before Christmas I've posted this before in my LJ but I don't think I've posted it here.  Hope you enjoy it. ‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the loft Two creatures were stirring and nothing was soft; Clothing was thrown on the floor without care, In hopes that two orgasms soon would be there; The boys they were nestled, all snug in their bed, While both Justin’s legs were over his head. With Brian in position, his dick in his hand He was thinking of all of the things he had planned. When out in the hall there arose such a clatter Brian sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the door, he heard a loud crash The surprise of the people, the people he flashed. The light in the hallway, outside the door Showed something that Brian tried hard to ignore. But, who to his brow-raising eye should appear, But Debbie and Carl and eight friends he held dear. With a plate of lasagna the sauce nice and thick, He knew in a moment he was gonna be sick. More rapid than eagles her followers they came, They whistled, and shouted. He called them by name; "Now, Mikey! now, Hunter! now, Lindsay and Mel! On, Emmett! on Ben! on Teddy, oh Hell! To the top of the stairs at the end of the hall! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!" As mumbles and grumbles and curses did fly, They did as he asked, Brian let out a sigh. So down to the bottom the friends they all flew, With the plate of lasagna and some lemon bars, too. And then, in a twinkling, he heard from the bed The calling of “Brian” that Justin had said. Brian drew in his hand, and was turning around, He flew up the stairs with a leap and a bound. Justin’s eyes -- how they sparkled! His dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his hole like a cherry! Brian look down, his goal in sight, “Merry Christmas to all – this will be a good night!”   (39 Comments |Comment on this)

8:08 pm	Favorite Fives More Favorite Fives - Five Favorite Vacations 1. Flim's and my favorite vacations are the ones we spend in Reno - our self indulgent city. Free food, free booze, being waited on, beautiful hotel rooms with great views, no interruptions, no schedules, you get the idea. We've had so many good ones but I picked the one where Flim won enough to pay off our mortgage - eighteen months early. I can't tell you how good that felt. 2. The first season DVD signings in San Francisco. I had never done anything like that before - not even remotely close. I had a free plane ticket and a free place to stay so I went and was so glad I did. I met Morpheus in line and realized that I wasn't alone in my obsession. I remember telling Gale and Michelle that I had come all the way from Kansas for this and the shocked look on their faces. My sister managed to get a picture of that exact moment. 3. My first non-business trip to New York City to visit JustVisiting. I wanted to do ALL the touristy things and she played along completely, granting my every wish. Waiting in lines to see the Statue of Liberty, waiting in even longer lines to see the Empire State building, Grand Central Station, riding the subway, Rockefeller Center, seeing a play on Broadway, learning the secret to flagging down a cab. She didn't even mind that I took pictures of everything and kept saying "Wow!" 4. My trip to Los Angeles to see "Particles of Truth" at the LA Film Festival. I met Morpheus and Katy there. We had quite a trip! We saw POT twice, took a tour of the NBC studios, saw the La Brea tar pits, got lost and got found, ate in a gay bar with a gorgeous waiter and I ended my career as a stalker. My highlight, of course, was after the second showing when Gale was walking up the aisle. I stuck out my hand and he shook it. Then the following conversation took place: ME: "What are you doing next?" Gale "I don't really know." ME: "But you'll tell us, right?" Gale: "Sure, I'll call you tomorrow!" I'm still waiting for the call - LOL! 5. My all time favorite vacation was the one Flim and I took for three weeks to Reno, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. We spent some time with my daughter and I met Flim's son and his mother. Flim tried out for a game show and made it but didn't win any money. We did get a year's worth of some sort of crackers and some sort of gum. It was on that vacation that Flim proposed which made it the best for me! What were your favorite vacations?

7:57 pm	Favorite Fives Five people who changed my life (not counting the person who changed my life the most, my daughter) 1. Al - The guy I was dating who caused me to stop smoking – and he never even knew it. It was a crazy time in my life and I realized he actually cared if I was healthy or not. Then he broke up with me a few months later – LOL! 2. Flim, my husband who made me a more compassionate and nicer person. Oh yes, he taught me patience too. 3. JustVisiting – without her I never would have written my philflamericks. Realizing that I had a tiny little creative streak was wonderful. 4. Y – my boss at my first job who convinced me I had a brain 5. Michael – who hired me for my first full time job after I got my degree. In one way or another, it led to all the jobs I’ve had since. Who has changed your life? (Comment on this)

9:29 pm	Favorite Fives In an attempt to try to forget about my RL right now, I'm going to post some Favorite Fives.  Lists of five related things, random topics, posting whenever I feel like it.   Feel free to play along if you want -  Tonight's topic:  My Five Favorite Birthdays: 30th – I had a lot of trouble with 29 but by 30 I realized I was an adult and loved it. 7th – My mother packed us all hobo bags and we carried them on long sticks to the local park.  13th – I had a ‘come as you want to be party’ where everyone was supposed to come dressed as their future occupation.  I went as a teacher which I was sure I would be.  Turns out I’d make really lousy teacher. 12th  - My birthday is on May 3rd and my party was on the 1st.  My mother made a beautiful May pole with multicolor ribbons tied around it.  Each one led to the place setting of one of the party goers.  It was beautiful. 50th – My husband found 50 plastic flamingos and put them in our front yard with a big sign that said, “Look who flew in for a 50th Birthday".  Then he made a May pole exactly like the one I had on my 12th birthday.  I cried. Anyone else have favorite birthdays? (4 Comments |Comment on this)

9:24 pm	What's My (QAF) Line? Great job! circadia got this one: Lindsay was sleeping just fine Maybe Melanie had too much wine Mel had a bad dream Made her wake up and scream, "Maybe it's some kind of sign." pendulumchanges got this one: He, out of the loft Brian flings, While into the loft Justin brings His mom and some clothes Then uses his nose, "Looks like you picked up a few things." maxymama got this one: Two guys -pain in the thoracic Their ads from the age of Jurassic But Kip says, "Why hide? Show it with pride. I'm not hip, I'm a classic." And another one for pendulumchanges:  Justin was bragging with glee Talking bout his sexual spree Then said, "Arent you shocked?" But Daphne just mocked. "Even if you never told me." No one guessed this one - it was a stretch (no pun intended) Before he gave Michael some neck roles, Before he started using his con-trols, He said, "You're adorable." But Mikey felt horrible, "Believe me, I've seen lots of assholes!" And in honor of all everyone who ventured a guess: Thank you for playing my game. Its over, I know that's a shame But I hope you had fun And now that I'm done Everyone was a winner, I claim. Thanks for playing!!  It was fun. (10 Comments |Comment on this)

"You mean I could have been straight this whole time?" No one has gotten my favorite one so here is the answer: His keys he would use if he’s got ‘em Emmett hopes Ted has forgot ‘em But the people who knock Are in for a shock "At the moment, there’s, uh … just a bottom.” And here are the last of the What's My (QAF) philflamericks - have fun: Lindsay was sleeping just fine Maybe Melanie had too much wine Mel had a bad dream Made her wake up and scream, " Before he gave Michael some neck roles, Before he started using his con-trols, He said, "You're adorable."
