The Brink Of Disaster

"The tiger in my tank/ is going to go extinct/ And I'm not feelin' so good myself/ I think I'm on the brink of disaster!"

At last! My own little corner of dysfunction and ranting available whenever and wherever you choose. And yes, it is all about me.

25 Signs That You've Grown Up

A friend sent these to me the other day. Some of these apply, others don't. I must not have grown up yet. Yeah, me!

1. Your house plants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them. (True)
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question. (Not necessarily)
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. (True)
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed. (No)
5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator. (Not yet)
6. You watch the Weather Channel. (Always)
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up. (Only if the FMA fails)
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14. (yup)
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up." (Never did)
10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the stereo. (Yeah, but I'm more irritated that they do more sex than I do)
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you. (yup)
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore. (Not true, 11 PM S-H, 1 AM Fri and Sat)
13. Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up. (At least after the points from my last ticket are lifted)
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers. (If I had a dog, I would)
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt. (Not true)
16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM. (Also not true)
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one. (Again, not true)
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle your stomach. (Probably not)
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests. (I actually get three out of the four)
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff." (It never was)
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time. (If I'm awake)
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again." (I do say both)
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work. (probably true)
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar. (Always did)
25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old ass (and I actually found some)
