And you thought yesterday's post was pointless

I have nothing to write about. Actually I have a lot of things I could write about but they would be angry, curse filled rants about how much I hate Everyday Math and how autism can go fuck itself this week, and such, and I didn't want to be angry and... well, I didn't want to be angry, I wanted to be funny (such as it is). But nothing funny has happened here lately; I've been following Child 2 around with a tape recorder and everything. No I haven't. Or have I? Regardless, even he hasn't given me anything; and you know the well is dry when even Child 2 hasn't been funny.

(Sorry, Child 2. I hope you never read this. I never want you to know that when you were 6 I said that you hadn't been funny that week. Please nobody ever tell him I said that. PLEASE.)

In order to find something to write about I was looking through my test results (NO, I'm not pregnant. I mean THESE test results) trying to see if you guys had given me any good ideas that I could steal and call my own, and there are actually a few in there! And since I haven't yet been able to come up with a birthday story, per Liza's request, and I haven't gone on a date yet with Hubs, per David's request, I figured... what the hell. Let's just give everybody else what they asked for! As long as it doesn't require too much energy on my part, because it's fucking hot here today.

First of all, please visit these two sites:
  1. Tap Dancing Lexicon
  2. A Little Less Fluff (she actually asked for a guest post, which I will do! As soon as I can think of something to write about, but once I think of something to write about, I need to put it on my own blog, first, so you can have the second thing I can think of to write about. Unless you'd like an angry, curse filled rant about how much I hate Everyday Math?)
Secondly, please go to Wombat Central's Facebook page and "like" it. She wants to know what happens when she gets to the magical number of 25. I'd like to know, too. I didn't realize there were magical numbers! As I write this she has 18 fans; only 7 more!!!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN, PEOPLE!!!!!

Somebody named A Na, who did not give any more identifying information than that, said "I'd like you to let Child 2 dictate a whole post to you. Like, literally, word for word, everything he says."

That's an awesome idea, A Na (if that's even your real name) and so I approached him with my laptop and told him of your idea; he knows what the blog is and he knows that he says funny stuff over here and it comes out on the internet over there, but suddenly he got all embarrassed at the idea and turned red (SO cute) but agreed. So I said "Okay, go for it!" and he said "I love you."

AWWWWWWWWWW.

And I said "yeah, whatever. What else?" and he said "No, that's it, that's the whole post. Write that down."

AWWWWWWWWWW.

Sarcasm Goddess said she wanted me to find her an agent so that she could quit her soul sucking job, and if that was too much to ask I should just draw her a picture of a puppy.

Related: I don't know how to draw a puppy.

Rebecca asked for "a day at the spa." Sorry, Rebecca, this is the best I can do for you:


Related: I don't know what Rebecca looks like, nor have I ever even been to a spa.

Allison Dellion said "give to charity" so I made a $25 contribution to Project: Purse and Boots, "a gathering together of the women's blogging community to celebrate life while raising money to help fight the devastating consequences of cerebrovascular disease" and a project of Lori who blogs at In Pursuit of it All.

wasn't_serious requested an avatar for the Twitter.


Um. Sorry about the shitty avatar....

Anna Nonamus from Because You're a Moron (awesome) requested an entire post dedicated to her and if that wasn't possible, some cheese. Well, Anna... how about a sentence dedicated to you AND some cheese?


Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese.

Okay, that's about half of the people who actually asked for something. I'm impressed at how many of you said you didn't want anything at all. Not greedy people from the internet? IMPOSSIBLE! I'll get to the rest tomorrow because I have run out of steam and now I have to go do homework.

I hate everyday math too, and I hate it everyday. Good luck with your guest posts. Don't make us wait too long.
Nothing to write about?! That was like a dozen mini posts all in one! I love the puppy, the avatar and the cheese. And, I'm looking forward to the interview you will conducting with the boys for the meme you volunteered to take on at Kelly's blog. ;)
My recent post Dotting the “i”s
I hate everyday math, occassional math, biannual math . . . I pretty much just hate math in general.

The funny will return and until then you could always blog about nothing . . . ala Seinfeld or you could just ask your band oh followers to write guest posts for ya!
My recent post Words of Wisdom: Just Do It
Well, I suppose I have to Google Everyday Math now, because I'm clueless. But since Old Person Math is not a friend of mine, I don't suppose the other will be either.
My recent post Toddlers and Cats
Somehow this post made my day. In some sick and perverse way, it's comforting to know that Jillsmo of Yeah, Good Times have moments of 'I have nothing to write about' also. ;)

Today's my anniversary, and can I just say that anniversaries feel really shitty when just a few months before your husband told you he doesn't love you anymore. Yeah, good times.
My recent post How It All Began: Screenplay
I don't even know what Everyday Math is, and I hate it already. Math? And every day? Yuck!

I did a post where I interviewed The Boy - it went well. Eye contact and everything. I gave him a forum so he could tell readers what he wanted them to know about him, and about autism (and what it's like to live with it).

He said it didn't affect his daily life at all - which certainly confirmed the diagnosis.

How old is he?
I can tag you in a meme if you want, you know, make it official.

I'm good like that.

Okay! But just this one time.

Seriously
I couldn't figure out why people were coming out of the woodwork to like my FB page. You're my little fairy blogmother granting my wish! Thanksch!

Also? I hate math in every shape and form. Every day.

Let me know when you make it and then what happens. Do unicorns appear? Because I think you're going to get unicorns.
I love how even when you have nothing to write about, you crack my ass up! :)

Have I mentioned lately that I FUCKING love you?

It's possible? But, you know.... you can never really hear that enough... xD <-- I have no idea what this guy is doing
The evil Everyday Math ppl got to your school district too? I wrote an EFF OFF post all about that a few weeks ago. Grrrr!
My recent post How I Met My Husband
I don't even know what "everyday math" is: that's what happens when you're the art teacher. Art is so much cooler than math, what with all that stupid...math stuff.
My recent post 9/11 (10 years + 19 days later)
Everyday Math is really just English with a few numbers thrown in. It isn't bad as a SUPPLEMENTAL mathematics program, but on its own? It's awful. Buy a couple Singapore Math workbooks, really... they are way better than EM and get this, it's not a spiral curriculum. Actually, *almost* any currculum is better than EM and especially especially if your child has autism. There is a whole blog called Out in Left Field that has ohhhh quite a few stories about how terrible EM is and how math algorithms ought be taught, esp. to autistics. Yay.
My recent post Hello!
YEEHAAWW! (cant believe I just said that.) I would be happy to have you over once you are ready. I have those times too when for the life of me Nothing wants to come forth and absolutely nobody does anything funny. And yeah, at times I totally rant more than normal.

My recent post Thursday Thought….
I am also not a fan of everyday math too.. Looking forward on your guest post.. That sounds really exciting.. Thanks for the post! BTW nice pictures you got there..
My recent post Accommodation In Chamonix France
awww man! If I knew you were giving shit out, I'd have asked for something.
My recent post *This Moment*
Is "everyday math" something created by the same people who came up with "mandatory concession stand duty"? Cuz if so, I'd like a word with those sadistic bastards.
My recent post Uttered Nonsense

It's actually quite likely, because I'm sure that whoever created Everyday Math actually sat around in a circle and said "what's the worst possible way to teach an autistic child math? I mean... the most difficult and frustrating method that we can use? Because let's do that!"
Everyday Math creators seem to own the stupidhead thing over concession stand duty planners. By a hair. Because they sit in circle trying to figure out ways to make little league parents' lives degrading and miserable.
My recent post Uttered Nonsense
Pretty sure Sarcasm Goddess quit her job.... so you did it!!
My recent post weekend wisdom, 11
THANK YOU for my "day at the spa"..... close on the pic.... :)
this posting was bossy. You're not the boss of me. The other stuff was good. It wasn't really that bad of a puppy.
