Infected

Nov 28, 2005 Author: Anna | Filed under: Anna, As seen on WWW, Plug

Brittney infected me. This is the first one of these type of things I’ve done. Mainly because I’m generally a lurker but lately I’ve figured I should start commenting on all these blogs I read which has lead to more people ending up here. Go figure! Anyway, on with the fun!

How does it work?: Write 5 random facts about yourself, and then list the names of 5 people whom you in turn infect. Also, leave a post to these people letting them know they have been infected.

My Random Facts:
1. I’m a wanna be girly girl. I like to get dirty working on cars and fragging boys online (that means killing, Dad.. as in gaming ;)) and… yeah. I’ve been getting more and more creative with my makeup and getting clothes that aren’t jeans and t-shirtish so maybe I’m on the right path.
2. I have a completely irrational but very real fear of death and the knowledge that I will no longer be here and everybody will go on without me and I won’t be here to join in the fun. Instead of trying to “fix” this fear I choose to ignore it as much as possible. And it’s not like I DWELL on it but it comes up occasionally.
3. I am obsessed with chocolate. Like, there is never a time I’ve said, “That’s too rich.” Or, “That’s too much chocolate.” I want it all the time. And when I’m PMSing it turns into the same kind of feigning that I assume a crack addict goes through. I lay in bed and shiver at night thinking about it and wondering when I can have my next “hit”. My mom got me those little Ghirardelli Squares for times like this but I make Ben hide the package from me…
4. I’m about 40-50 pounds over what my “target weight” should be for my height and age. Depressing. But with the latest trend of feeling like I’d be better off dying than eating anything that contains ANY kind if fat or dairy product, I’ve been dropping weight. And I practically died on the treadmill today so hopefully that is helping too. I’m considering more and more dropping just meat from my diet altogether because all it does is make me physically ill. :(
5. My most favorite time of the entire day is that 15 minutes before I fall asleep when I press myself up as close as I can to The Benjamin and wrap my legs all around his and I have to reposition myself 15 times the first five minutes and I’m sure this annoys him to no end but he just holds on and lets me drift off. And he does all this knowing that when I fall asleep I’m going to snore loud enough to rattle all the walls in the room. That’s true love people, True Love.

Who am I infecting? Julie, Kristen, Lisa, Jessica and BEN!

YAY Canada!!

Jun 30, 2005 Author: Anna | Filed under: As seen on WWW, In the News

Canada has passed a bill that will give married gay people the same rights as straight people. What an interesting idea! Equal rights despite sexual orientation!! It’s only the third country to do so joining the Netherlands and Belgium.

In other Canadian News That Proves What A Dumbass President We Have: Bush has appointed a new Ambassador to Canada, David Wilkins. He’s been to Canada once30 years ago. He was the chairman of Bush/Cheney’s second term fundraising in South Carolina though which makes him more than qualified to represent our nation in a country he’s been to one time 30 years ago.

You are .cgi Your life seems a bit too scripted, and sometimes you are exploited.  Still a  workhorse though.

Ben found this little gem. If you have Gmail and don’t have this installed already.. GET IT!

The Gmail Notifier is a downloadable Windows application that alerts you when you have new Gmail messages. It displays an icon in your system tray to let you know if you have unread Gmail messages, and shows you their subjects, senders and snippets, all without your having to open a web browser.

Also, check this out. Just because it’s one of those things you have to see: click. (Make use you watch the whole thing. The mind blowing part is at the end.) I’d actually try to learn this if I didn’t hang up everything. heh

Great… Just what I need!

Google Mail.

Jun 23, 2004 Author: Anna | Filed under: As seen on WWW

I got a Gmail invitation from the beautiful Eu. I’ve forwarded a few other email accounts to it.

So far I’ve only gotten one spam mail and it didn’t go to the spam folder. I’m sure it was a fluke becuase most people that I’ve talked to have had a lot of luck with it. I really like it so far and that’s the only complaint that I have at this time.

I’m just so used to the @annastacy.com account and I like Outlook… BUT I am thinking that it wold be better to use the gmail account for message boards and the such so less people track me back to here… where I talk unkindly about a lot of people. heh :nana:

Jun 23, 2004 Author: Anna | Filed under: As seen on WWW

We have a product for the soles of our feet, for our cuticles, under our eyes, our eyelids, skin care for men, for women, for babies… and now for our Sweet Spot.

I’m not even sure what to say. ;)

Stand.

Stolen from a potential zombie:

Abortion?: Pro choice: It’s my body to do with as I please.
Death Penalty?: I’d rather the killer be killed than my state have to pay for him/her to have three square meals a day.
Prostitution?: I’m all for legalizing it and taxing it and requiring STD testing regularly.
Alcohol?: Wonderful stuff if used in moderation and ot abused.
Marijuana?: Should have been legalized a long tima ago. Make it legal and tax it.
Other drugs?: Not so much. Don’t see the need for heroin or cocaine or the such to be legal.
Gay marriage?: Go for it. Spread the love.
Illegal immigrants?: Illegal, no. Immigrants who come over and go about becoming citizens the legal way I’m all for.
Smoking?: It’s your choice. If you want to kill you only method of breathing clean air go ahead. Don’t think it should be outlawed in bars where ADULTS can make the decision to leave if they choose. Please keep it out of restaurants.
Drunk driving?: Bad, bad, bad. Taxi drivers should offer lower rates between 1am and 4am when picking up people from bars.
Cloning?: Hell no! I’m not a religious person but that’s going too far. All people are beautiful in their own respect. Let nature take it’s course.
Racism?: Everybody is entitled to have an opinion different than mine. Hate crimes = Bad. Having an opinion = Good. Get it?
Premarital sex?: Well, you squeeze the melon before you buy it right? Imagine life with a nasty, smell, unpleasant melon. I’m all for premarital sex. Know what you are getting for the rest of your life!!
Religion?: No religion for me thanks. Believe anything you choose just please don’t try to push your beliefs on me or come to my door at dinner time and proclaim you love of Christ.
The war in Iraq?: Needed to be done. Should have been done right the first time. But when the power is relinquished, let our soldiers come home and let them deal with it how they choose.
Bush?: Ehhhh, *I* don’t want his job. I didn’t vote for him but he won and I’ll support him till I’m able to vote again… and it won’t be for him.
Downloading music?: Do it. If you like something so much that you play it over and over and over again, show the artist some love and buy the album.
The legal drinking age?: Is as it should be.
Porn?: Gets a bad rap. As long as you aren’t watching children or animals I don’t have a problem with it.
Suicide?: Selfish. There is help out there. Trust me, if I found it, so can you!

What is your stand on… brought to you by BZOINK!

Postcards For Kids

Jun 10, 2004 Author: Anna | Filed under: As seen on WWW

Courtesy of Busy Mom.

The guy that started the website Postcards for Moms has started a new website Postcards for Kids.

If you are not familiar with the site’s, read the story about how it all started on the ‘Moms’ site. It’s a very cute story. Now, he offers a ‘Kids’ site.

Basically what you do is email him, he returns the email with the address to a child who needs a little cheer in their life. He changes the moms and kids about quarterly and the only rule is not to mention the website. That way, they get a bunch of encouriging mail from strangers to brighten their day. I’m going to have Cassidy draw a nice little picture today and send it out to the little girl.

I can remember how hard Ada had it while on chemo and I feel like this is something that she would have really wanted to have done herself. So since she’s not here anymore, I’m going to do it for her. A stamp is a pretty cheap investment to make to brighten a little girl’s day. :angel:

BIO
Hello! Welcome to aflux.net! My name is Anna and I am NOT the internet. I have a fabulous husband, a silly daughter, two cats and 14 personalities. I'm a loud mouthed, outspoken, opinionated pain in the ass but I swear I make up for it by being cute and cuddly. I like pie. I'm on pretty much every single social network out there so rather than go on and on about myself, go joing them, add me, and join the circus in my head. I promise I won't bite too hard and if nothing else, I'm fun to laugh at when you're feeling down.
