Day 4

Well well well. For all of you who have teenagers who are now driving. stop read this now. Really, just walk away and have a beer or something because invariably, I'm going to tick you off.



I live close to a highschool, a block.. if that. Well I'm getting off from one of my night classes at the college and am heading home. I'm stopped at a light where across from me is an outlet for the highschool. I'm guessing there was a game or SOMETHING. Anyhoo, in this intersection there are two opposing lanes.. One for turning and another for going straight on. Now, the lane I'm in DOES NOT have a yield to oncoming traffic, but I did and I waited........and waited......and waited. RED LIGHT!



I missed my turn, ok. I'm miffed but oh well right?



Second light comes around and a truck is turning and FINALLY someone isn't going straing, but turning right. YES! So I move into the intersection and take the near lane, while they take the far.



WHOOOOSH and screeeeeeech! This car coming from BEHIND the turning car rushes out and almost takes the back end off my car. He then has the nerve to honk at ME! Now if there was an accident that would have happened, HE would've gotten the ticket, but I digress.



Parents....teach your kids some effin' manners and responsible driving. Is it going to take their friends, brothers,sisters being plastered on the pavement to slow them eff down? If they want to kill themselves, by all mean so right ahead but no where in this life will you endanger me or my kids ( who were luckily NOT in the car). Stop being so damn lazy and stand up to your children and set some RULES for Christs sakes. Ground them, take away their iphones and cell phones, make em do chores or something!!It's not societies job to parent your children, because if we are left to it..Juvvie and jail are a waitin'!



Now we do have a teenage driver in the house who is WORKING a job to get his liscense, a car and has already attended driving school. Damn sure he knows common courtsey about driving.

Day 3: Pumpkin is GOOD!

That's right, Pumpkin is good. The air is getting cooler, rain is coming and the pumkin season is coming up. Right now, I've got a nice little beer I'm drinking JACKS PUMPKIN SPICE ALE.

Yes, it's good. And I am entirely way too tired to worry about putting coherant thoughts and conjunctions together so... goodnight all!

Day 2

Finally, the first week of scholl is done and over with. It wasn't as hectic as I had thought originally. However, 2 of my online classes might give me trouble. It was a nice day at campus although the administration has decided to go with ...parking permits. Yeah whoopee. As you can see, it's pretty rural. What you don't see in the big freakin hill that I have to walk up and down just to get to my classes. Thanks alot UCC.

Today after classes, we decided to leave Hellboy v1 and v2 home with uncle Beerboy91. we did all our fabulous shopping with minimal cusswords and physical battles. See, karvin likes to scuff his feet in the supermarkets and SHOCK the living tar outta me. Now, ever since taser and OC day at academt, I'm not too fond of getting zapped, no matter how little. So I geta little testy sometimes when I get zapped.



After a few rounds of scuff, scuff, scuff, -ZAP-, SLAP! we head to checkout. Old lady Farty McFartFart is in front of us baging her stuff. FREAKING AWESOME! If she had gone any slower at bagging, the eggs in my cart would have hatched......Really, she was slow....AND she blocked everybody else's way and was shooting dirty looks. Time for one of those modified shopping carts with air horns, cattle prods and offroad tires.

Day 1

A quick introduction seems to be in order here, afterall, it's probably better to know who and what you are reading about.

My Online gamer name is Tinga and I am the Assistant Division Leader for the Recruit Department at MIAClan.net One of the primary duties of a Recruit Officer is to guide new members through the process of becoming a full member and just generally make them feel welcome in the clan.

 

At home I am a full time college student working my way towards my degree, a full time mommie of 2 very young, exitable and sometimes exhausting boys. Going to school full time, making sure my boys don't kill each other or cause some sort of major property damage AND the duties I have at MIA can be a handfull sometimes. For those of you who have talked to me in TS, you know my frequest absenses in TS are often punctuated by "What are you DOING?!" and "Guess what my little boy just ate?" and the favorite just as I am keying up "screeeeeeech"  I'd like to say I more than support our push to talk in TS, otherwise, they might kick me out of the clan entirely.



Being one of the few girl gamers online not to mention our clan is.... different. Sometimes I can sit in TeamSpeak all day and do nothing except chat wth people. Luckily I have a boss, who I'd like to say is also my friend, WRXS/Andrea who makes the dull moments pass quickly. If ever you have been to an AA  night of ours, you know we kick back pretty well. One of the most ackward things about being a girl gaming online is some guys just DON"T know how to deal with girls. I guess that's not to different in real life. As a member of the recruit department we are the front line to the new people coming into our TS. We get recruits, friends and yes..... my favorite....spammers.



Spammers hold a special place in my heart. But I do have one request: If you are going to take time out of your otherwise non descript life of drinking green monsters in your mom's basement to spam our TS, at LEAST make it worth me moving up there in channel...please?

Coming in to proposition us, make us listen to your white boy rap music and your horrible pre-pubescent voice with a morpher is NOT really entertaining or even original. Also, if you can't say the proper names of male and famale genitalia ( if you even KNOW what that means) without giggling.....just go... please. I'm embarassed for BOTH of us.



Being a part of MIA is something that I never thought I would do ( Future post here) But It's fun, rewarding and I get to make some new friends from all over the country and world. So stay tuned for more, but right now I've got an explosion of cheerios on my carpet that need to be swept up.
