Lingo


I have learned recently by reading blogs like this and this that my readers may not be able to comprehend the deep lingo that is spewed on this blog.

So I have listed my most common lingo with their definitions to make things easier on my readers...all nine of you.

Cool - When something is good or neat.
Music - Melodic sounds constructed to become a song
Jail - Somewhere you go when you break the law
Church - Somewhere you go to be a better person
Disney - A large company that runs the funnest place on earth
Colbert - As in Stephen, hard hitting news reporter
"This is SOOOO Jonas Brothers" - See cool
Miss Spears - As in Britney
Miss - Aubs
Fool - Crazy person
Douche Bag - a fictitious product. Also an idiot

I hope this helped.

I know that the english language is hard....

So this is Miss. You all know her

We have this running "joke".

Everytime we say goodbye we say...."K 47 times"

This means that within the next 24 hours we will talk 47 times.

It's funny

And true.

We have various ways we talk....

Text
Google Talk
2 MSN Messenger Accounts
Skype (soon)
Facebook
Plain ole' phone

She is always up on every computer I use for emergencies on how I should paint my toes or what she thinks of Jake and Vienna.

When did this happen?


Since when has Leonardo DiCaprio been a good actor?

I am sure many will argue with me that he has ALWAYS been a good actor. But whoever says that did not see The Beach or Titanic.

I mean was it when he became the Scorsese darling? Was it when he decided he should just stick to angsty? I cannot figure it out.

I will admit in his early career he had a couple good parts, like in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" and "Basketball Diaries" but other than that....blah.

But NOW. You look at like his newer flicks and damn the boy cannot lose.

Gangs of New York
The Aviator
The Departed
Revolutionary Road
Blood Diamond
Inception

I am impressed and I am now a fan.

Good job Leo...way to not have an eating disorder or resort to cable ministry.

My Beef With Disney


I would like to start by saying that ANYONE who knows me or knows of me knows I love Disney and Disneyland, so know this comes from a place of love.


Dear Disney,

I wanted to draft this letter to let you know that I am hurt and disappointed by the lack of strong female characters represented in your merchandise. I will have you know that not every girl wants to be a princess and SOME of us have been told we are not tall enough to be a princess. Some of us girls like old school (or retro) Alice and some of us like Jessie from Toy Story and some of us like both.

I think it is a shame that we are brainwashed into thinking that we have to love Ariel (barf) or Tinkerbell. I mean I searched all over your damned park for a Jessie pin and could not find a one...and I have owned all the Alice pins you have for FIVE years...time to make some new ones.

I mean we girls don't always need a prince, don't always have to sing, can have a strong opinion and CAN take care of ourselves. I would have spent HUNDREDS of dollars on Jessie or Alice merchandise. I mean I do applaud the new princess Tiana, now there is a strong woman....and I appreciate her strong merchandising but STILL, SHE IS A PRINCESS.

Please Disney, give girls the chance to buy strong female characters. And please make a Jessie hat for adults.

With Love,

Jen
