The page view count on my other blog reads 666 right now. This is not so scary to the religion-intolerant portion of my brain, but it's raising some eyebrows in the baptist-born corner. Considering that is the blog in which I air all my demons, well...
In other news, my college education is coming along just fine. All my dreams are taking place in the middle of the bloody American Revolution, and my participles are dangling where everybody can see them, but I'm well on my way to being a member of educated society. (Okay, okay, I'm only six credits in, but it's a start, dammit!)
I CLEP-ed out of College Algebra altogether. Now I can pretend that math doesn't exist. That alone was cause for a major celebration, so I took my daughter out to eat. I paid. That's the way of things around here. I didn't buy her a margarita, despite the fact that she's officially of a legal drinking age. I could tell you I wouldn't buy her any alcohol on principle, but the reality is, I was too cheap to shell out the four bucks. I'm just a poor college kid, after all.
The kids have moved out and then back in and then out and then in again. At this point in time, I have three and a half in the house, one tag-a-long and one and a half out of the house. Don't try to make sense of that. It's likely to change by the time I'm finished writing this post. They have eaten everything in the house that is edible and moved on to licking the things that smell edible. However, I've been informed that just because a Scentsy Bar smells like a orange push pop doesn't mean it tastes like an orange push pop.
Some people have to learn things the hard way.

I used to know a tribe of bikers...I mean motorcycle enthusiasts who called themselves the 667, the Neighbors of the Beast. Seriously. Once, as a code number for a friend's pager-remember those?-I had 6669, the beast in a happy position. Both instances were the most fun I've ever had with numbers, for my prowess in math is somewhat lacking.
ReplyDeleteSorry your dreams are war-themed, but congrats on your continued education. Glad you escaped the math. That is Perdition.
haha, neighbor of the beast. That's cute.
DeleteAt least now I won't be dreaming polynomials...I hope.
Escaping the math. Nice. If only it was so easy to escape the kids. :)
ReplyDeletePS... I am also too cheap to shell out the 4 bucks. This is why I don't drink. :0)
Oh, I will drink it, if somebody else buys it! But I don't have time for that sort of thing right now.
Delete666 is my favorite number. In Satan we trust >:)
ReplyDeleteCold As Heaven
Here I was thinking you were an atheist. How can you believe in Satan if you don't believe in God? Don't the two go hand in hand, like peanut butter and chocolate?
DeleteI believe in neither. I'm Pastafarian and Satanist every second day >:D
DeleteActually, Satanism is not a theistic religion, it's more like rejection of religion. Most Satanists don't believe in or worship Satan.
And in a way I agree about God and Satan. The 3 most important characters in the Bible are Jesus, Judas and Satan. The guys who wrote that book knew how to design a catching plot.
Yea, cocktails are way too expensive. Over here they start at £10.00! Not a believer myself anymore but the mention of "666" always reminds me of "The Omen" which scared the s--t out of me when I was a teenager!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with school, sounds like it going well.
I remember "The Omen"! There was another movie called "The Bad Seed" that made me shudder.
DeleteThanks for the luck. I will need it for American History.
Why did I not know about your other blog? Nevermind...it may because I so rarely write in my own, that I never see what other people actually write.
ReplyDeleteP.S. - YAY!! on the Algebra!! And as for the kids - I gave up keeping track of who lives here, who's visiting, or who's just here to steal the food.
haha! "Just here to steal the food."
Deletethat "other blog" is a tab at the top of my page that says "I Dream," but I warn you, you might find it disturbing.
I'm religiously promiscuous and I really enjoyed this post. ;)
ReplyDeleteSix credits! You are on your way girl! Math. Glad that's over. Heh. ;)
I'm so proud of you and your college-going ways! Well done, Nessa.
