Here goes!
Fall colors are out and look delightful against the morning skies although for some reason, allergies are acting up this year and I don't know why. All my friends are having babies and they all have this compulsion to describe their labor and delivery experiences to me.
I'm not talking about the "It was 43 hours, and finally I asked for the drugs" stories, I'm talking about the "then I felt this tearing sensation, and when my husband looked...[followed by revolting description of something or other] stories.
I don't want kids. Just don't. I'm all about me and what I want to do--I freely admit this. I suspect it is much better to admit that sort of thing than to take a big risk, have a kid and then resent it for every second of my remaining natural life.
Anyway.
Graphic and gory labor and delivery stories are disgusting and I am grossed out by them.
Completely grossed out. I wind up putting my hands over my ears and yelling
"Shutupshutupshutupshutup !! EEEEEWWW!!"
I do NOT understand why ANYONE would VOLUNTARILY do that to themselves. Seriously. What the hell is up with that shit? And WHY do you have to tell me about things that are left hanging where things should not hang? WHY?
I suppose it's necessary for the perpetuation of the species and all. And I'm glad my mother went through it, but please, PLEASE all you new mothers out there--STOP WITH THE GROSS-OUT 'FEAR FACTOR' LABOR SAGAS! Just please, please stop. Unless someone asks for the gross version, stick with the generic "It was long and hard, and I was in pain, but here s/he is now!" version. (One of my friends who's a very new mom has a good way of telling the story--she knows who she is, because I didn't start screaming "EW!EW!EW!")
I believe my allergies this year may be to prolonged exposure to GWBush. I believe that he and his ilk are evil and are tools of the Dark Lord.
I swear, this year it just feels like some Lord of the Rings-esque struggle for the future of Middle Earth is in full swing. I am afraid that Bush has the Ring. I have come up with a sign for my street-facing window in the event that the forces of evil prevail on Nov. 2--
FRODO FAILED
BUSH HAS THE RING
I saw a great sign in someone's window from the El the other day:
HE IS NOT THE PRESIDENT OF ME!
I like that.
I have a button that says:
The last time someone listened to a bush, folks wandered in the desert for 40 years.
Since I cannot fathom why someone would willingly vote for the Moron-in-Chief, I am left to conclude that the people who are planning to vote for him are (1) stupid (2) lazy (3) afraid to think for themselves (4) stupid (5) all of the above.
I am very afraid for the future of this country, and for the world, really, if these jackoffs stay in office...
Ok. I have to do some work now.
