My mom called to ask about how my dental appointment went Tuesday. It was just so they can do impressions, not a big deal. But they wanted to dope me up with that Valium stuff and something else that acts with the Valium stuff (dental fear+horrid teeth). So she wanted to hear about how that went.

So the thing is, I can’t decide if I had enough of it in my system or not (this is mostly relevant). I -somewhat- remember the dentist asking me if I had enough in my system for them to actually do any real work and I -somewhat- remember saying “Nooo”. I only remembered this after my roommie brought it up a day or two later. SO, the deal is, they want to double dose me for when they do actual work on my teeth. Told my mom all this and she thinks I had enough, that they didn’t wait enough because I actually didn’t remember a thing (actively) after they did the impressions. But I was thinking… if the dentist asked me and I said no, then… maybe it wasn’t enough? Anyway…

I was telling her that I was reading the side effects on overdosing on that stuff. Sounds like it doesn’t happen a lot, there’s some downsides to it, and I told her that the worst side effect was a coma. She she pipes up with something to the effect of “Or you could get pregnant!” to which I reply with “Ohhh yeah, that would be WORSE than a coma! I’d rather be in a coma than pregnant!” Because I was thinking… this stuff would make a good date rape drug (prolly related, much?) and I could easily be raped in that state, and that’s happened before, right?

Yes, I associate sex, rape and babies with each other. Yes, I need help.

Anyway… I think she said something which prompted me to say “I think I followed that up with an “Although, there is this really cute dental assistant guy…” (I rarely notice “cute guys”) but you know, I don’t care how cute he is, I’m not going to have his baby, damnit. I just have that brand of humor.

And she says “Actually I was hoping it would be from [Roommie]…”

WTF? So, not only do I NOT want to marry him (sorry I keep heaping the marriage shit on you guys) but I should have to be doped up and basically RAPED by my fucking roommate so I can get knocked up? (not that he would)

I’m thinking this may have been prompted by brother’s female thing having a possible pregnancy ’cause her period had stopped for awhile, then it just kinda came… so my mom like babies and kids and the last baby my brother was about to have (from a different female thing) died at 8 months in the womb, so my parents were ripped of their shiny title of Grandparents before they could stick it on.

SO, I’m asking for all y’all to send non-baby energies to my brother’s nether region. Honestly, I swear… please believe me when I say that any child born to my brother will not be a happy one and I’m not saying this because I’m a bitter childfree person. Bad people shouldn’t just have kids.

Okay, back to my empty husbandless/childless life! I hope the rest of you get knocked up because of fucking dope RAPE too! *waves cheerfully* ^-^

-Xeen, who feels sad now.

My comments are in bold. I cut out some of the stuff.

Pope says abortion “not a human right”

By Philip Pullella Fri Sep 7, 1:11 PM ET

VIENNA (Reuters) - Pope Benedict rejected the concept that abortion could be considered a human right on Friday and urged European leaders to do everything possible to raise birth rates and make their countries more child-friendly. If we make the world any more child friendly, life would look like the set of Barney.

The 80-year-old German Pontiff told diplomats and representatives of international organizations that Europe could not deny its Christian roots because Christianity had played a decisive role in forging its history and culture. You don’t have to deny them, but please don’t shove it down people’s throats.
“This is true of life from the moment of conception until its natural end. Abortion, consequently, cannot be a human right — it is the very opposite. It is a deep wound in society.” I won’t even go there. It hurts my brain!

Abortion is available in the first three months of pregnancy in Austria under legislation similar to that of other Western European countries, many of Catholic tradition. Well, that’s a start. Better than nothing!

In his address, the last speech on the first day of a three-day visit to Austria, the Pontiff indirectly decried Europe’s declining birth rates, appealing to politicians “not to allow children to be considered as a form of illness.” If pregnancy is not an illness, why is there a test for it?

He urged them to “do everything possible to make European countries once again open to welcoming children.” For a change, I’m glad I don’t live there. I don’t want everything to be padded and filled with clowns.

The average birth rate in the European Union is down to about 1.5 children per womanZOMG!!11elevent1! HUMANS SHOULD BE ON THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST ZOMG!!!1, raising fears that an ageing population will not be able to finance pensions systems. You fucking pieces of SHIT juts want more brainless sheep to follow you and LINE YOUR FUCKING POCKETS, huh?

Some European countries have adopted, or plan to, incentives to encourage couples to have children, to try to reverse trends where couples have fewer children and begin families later. Experts say high housing prices are partly to blame. So there will be even MORE people having kids for selfish reasons! Good idea ;-)

He also said Europe “cannot and must not deny her Christian roots” as they are “a dynamic component of our civilization.” Again, you can keep your religion if you don’t SHOVE IT down people’s throats!

Last March, Benedict strongly criticized the European Union for excluding a mention of God and Christian roots in declarations on its 50th anniversary, saying the continent was committing a form of “apostasy of itself” by excluding God. zmg. how. terrible.

So I realized something the other day. You know how smokers will tell you to never start smoking, ’cause its a bad habit, etc? A lot of people have told me that over the years.

Lots of people have told me not to have kids. It goes hand in hand with not smoking. Because they ruin your sex life, he wont like your boobs anymore, etc. Weird.

On another note, I took the Double Crochet hat off my Works in Progress list to the right there ’cause it was giving me a hard time. Crocheting anything more complex than leprosy bandages right now is a bad idea. The ol’ hook just ain’t likin’ me.

Speaking of which, my leprosy bandage is probably ready to be worked on again. It had been abandoned when I was out of state for a few months. I came back and ew. It was stinky. So last time I checked it seemed to be pretty well aired out. Its almost done, too. After its done, I’ll start another, but I’m not sure yet if I want to knit or crochet them. Knitting takes longer (big deal, right?) but they seem to come out “softer”.

I decided to make a crochet blanket sort of thing out of some sage green Plush yarn. I originally got it to make Branching Out from Knitty.com, ’cause its just gooorjess. But, you know… it didn’t want to be that. So the long of the short of it: I started an afghan/blanket, via crochet, using this pattern more or less. I had a hard time following the directions, so I’m making it up as I go along.

Such is life, eh?

As for editing Blood Rose, I’m still within the first few chapters of book #1. Its been very interesting. Kind of mind boggling, too. Its not easy work, but it needs to be done. The whole trilogy is such a mess. Of course, what do you expect from writing that much so fast and not going about it slow, methodical and- hey, do any writers do it that way? :-p

That and I need to figure out something about Rayna’s dad. Does he even need to come into the picture? Does she have a father back at the village? Sometimes I think I’m too logical to do this whole writing thing, because everything has to make sense, dang it. And for that little flaw, I sometimes can’t enjoy TV and such. Especially cartoons. Oh but I do love cartoons.

Camp Lazlo, anyone? :)

I like the Camp Lazlo show because Lazlo is a nice guy. I’m getting really sick and tired of all these asshole animals/kids in cartoons. Especially Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. Bloo is a huge jerk. I used to like tho show, when it first started, and it does have some funny moments and cool characters, but Bloo just makes it suck big time. But of course, he’s always “forgiven” for his behavior and viola, he does it again.

*AHEM*nocomment*AHEM*

Father poisons children’s soup to fake a lawsuit

Father poisons kids’ soup for the money
1:15 AM

ATLANTA (AP) — A man admitted Tuesday that he tampered with his children’s soup in an attempt to get money from Campbell Soup Co., a prosecutor said.

William Allen Cunningham’s 3-year-old son and 18-month-old daughter were hospitalized twice in January 2006. He forced them first to eat soup laced with hot peppers and lighter fluid, and the second time used the prescription drugs Prozac and Amitriptyline — both used to treat depression — to poison the children, authorities said.

Cunningham, 41, pleaded guilty to communicating false claims, U.S. Attorney David Nahmias said. Under terms of a plea agreement, he faces up to five years in federal prison when he is sentenced April 19.

“He admitted that he put potentially life-threatening foreign substances into soup, which he fed to his two young children and then placed a call to Campbell Soup Co. falsely claiming that the soup had been contaminated,” Nahmias said.

According to prosecutors, Cunningham called Campbell and threatened to sue. Authorities say there was no evidence the soup was tainted when it was bought.

I posted this originally at CF@LJ (as well as the reverse bingo thing) but thought I might as well post it here as well:

Someone on MySpace (gawd why do I go there?) sen a bulletin titled “Made me sniffle…”

Good. Fucking. Gourds.

You ever read the tear jerking poem about the family that gets the dog, and then the dog is no longer wanted, so they have ‘em put down? From the dogs point of view? Well this was basically that, but an unborn ‘baby’ from its womb. It reminded me of a blogging clump of cells. I didn’t read the whole thing, just gave it a quick scan. In the end, the ‘baby’ is aborted.

And it ended with this (my comments start with —)

One more heart that was stopped.
— Like we really need another life on this overcrowded planet.

Two more eyes that will never see.
— It could have been born blind.

Two more hands that will never touch.
— or rape or slap or steal or kill.

Two more legs that will never run.
— Run from what? From from you when it yells “I hate you I hate you!” because you bought it the wrong color ipod for Christmas?

One more mouth that will never speak.
— One LESS mouth to pollute the air, and my ears.

This was sent by a guy in my hometown. I may have to change my name now :-p

Oh, and when I replied with it, I changed the subject line to “Made YOU sniffle…”
