New revelation on who I really am

I hate changes. Not those that I am prepared for. I hate them when I have plans set and suddenly am told to take another route. If I foresee possible changes, they don't count. So maybe in fact what I don't like is being out of control. Yeah. The control freak talking here. Sometimes I just feel that I'm getting a little too good at this "analyze me" thing. Reportedly potentially annoying. But hey, everyone has a right to happiness, right? So figuring out the problem is the answer, right?

How to know your mom rocks and will be the Queen of the Universe

You know your mom can whoop your ass and blow you away when:

10. it takes her 0 seconds to OK your moving out to somewhere 4 bus stops away.
9. she knows what a "bike tote" is when you have absolutely no idea.
8. she seems to know way more Korean stars than you do and can make a detailed list of which films they have been in.
7. she looks up films and drama flicks on the internet. No one ever taught her how to do it.
6. she could swim for more than 1 hour without breaks.
5. she builds a perfectly-crafted sturdy makeshift crib for her grandson in one day.
4. she bookmarks the Playboy site just because she thinks you "might be curious."
3. she stays calm when you tell her your bf is a different race.
2. she doesn't flinch when you then reveal that he's 7 years younger than you.
1. she stands on her head and forearms steady like a rock while you wobble and roll around wildly like an egg. She's 61.

May the Queen have mercy on us all.

Screen name calling

Since online chatting software is almost indispensable in my line of work, a neat scene at the workplace is everybody typing madly away on their keyboards. People normally don't talk, they type. When you spend more than 5 minutes speaking to a colleague, you feel guilty making all that noise. With this trend comes an interesting phenomenon, which I'll simply dub "screen name calling." In effect, some people enter a line in their name display to describe how they feel or think. Most of the time you will learn what kind of pet they have, how old their acquaintances are and some other tidbits of their lives, but sometimes you can see pointed statements. And then the guessing game ensues. Is it me or is it the girl in front of me? Or the guy next to the girl in front of me? It's alright if you don't give a damn, but unfortunately 99% of human beings are not designed this way.

As far as I am concerned, screen name calling is probably a very good way to blow off some steam. Other than that, it doesn't have much use. It doesn't get things fixed because no one really wants to stand up and say, hey, that ass is me, isn't it, and it definitely doesn't make people happy if they suspect they are the target, and they would in turn make you even unhappier than you already are. But then, I was boldfaced enough to ask someone some time ago if her screen name complaining about noises was about me. It was not. And I am so thick that I might not even know when it IS about me. So what do I know.
