I was given these subjects to elaborate on, as part of a bigger meme.
1. Marriage
What can I say? Married life is not always bliss. It takes hard work every single day, and you're still only facing a fifty-fifty chance of survival. In my marriage, there is a lot of compromise. Like for instance, I have a terrible headache right now, but Matt just got off of work, and he wanted to play Rock Band. He is playing right now. It's also about communication. I tell my husband everything that happens to me, or what I'm thinking/feeling, and vice versa. It's about love, being intuitive, caring, and considerate. It's sure as hell not a cake walk though. However, I couldn't picture it any other way.
2. Captain Planet (or another equally cool childhood TV show) vs. Hannah Montana (or another equally lame children's TV show)
Durr, for some reason I've blocked most cartoons from my memory. I have a crappy memory for stuff like that. However, from what I remember about Capt Planet was he was teaching good life lessons, way back before caring about the environment was trendy. I think that it was quality entertainment, and made me think before I dropped oil into the river. However, as far as I can tell, Hannah Montana is about being pretty and singing. Not quality life lessons for children in my opinion. I don't think crappy singing and even crappier hair should be as popular. I think parents should just turn off Disney and maybe take their kids to the park.
3. Music
I love music, but I'm kind of a snob about it. I have my favorite bands, and it's hard for me to find something new if it's not right under my nose. When I was growing up, I often used music as a way to express how I was feeling inside. I remembering listening to the Beatles "I Want to Hold Your Hand" when I was four, and I was going to the children's consular because my parents were divorcing. I reached out for the radio, crying, cause it felt like no one wanted to hold my hand any more. Ever since then, music has played a huge role in my life. I listen to it when I clean, paint, drive, have sex, sleep, and so on.
4. Build-a-Bear Workshop
I think this is a neat idea, but I'm envious of all the shit kids can do nowadays. When I was a kid, I would have been lucky to get a five dollar teddy bear, much less a 50 dollar one. It's def cool, and would seem like a fun job to have, but once you hit a certain age, it's kind of hard to justify spending crazy money like that on a stuffed animal, even if you get to make it yourself.
5. Jello
I hate Jello. The flavor, the smell, and the freaky way it moves. It makes me puke just to see it jiggle. Ugh. Of course, my husband thinks this is HILARIOUS. Every time he gets Jello, he makes it jiggle on the spoon and sucks it in and out of his mouth. I think it's mean. In retaliation, I just quit buying Jello. |

How come, when you're playing a video/flash game, and you get limited immortality, you never seem to run across any enemies while you have it?
Also, when I first played Crash Bandicoot, I got the three masks. It started flashing, and I was like "Matt, what does that mean?" And he says "Oh, that means you're immortal". I promptly fell off a cliff and died.
I then turned to him and said "You lied to me."

I can has new friends?
I made some new friends during RFD on c-s, so I thought I would introduce myself around.
My name is Becca.
I like to read, a lot. I'll read anything that is put in front of me, practically. I love to reread classic (or what I consider classic) children's novels. Stephen King, Gregory Maguire, Robert Heilein, and Spider Robinson are a few of my favorite authors. My favorite children's series are: Mary Poppins, Mrs PiggleWiggle, and Pippi Longstocking.
I listen to music all the time. I love the Beatles and Brand New.
I'm 19 and married. I've been with Matt for 5 years.
I don't do drugs, or anything like that.
I like to play video games occasionally. My favorites right now are Fallout 3 and Rock Band 2.
I like to cook, play with my kitties, hang out around the house, and play on the internet.
I'm pretty simple, and find it hard to be super mean to people.
Love you all!
Comment with anything you want to know about me, and I'll answer you as truthfully as possible. |

Ok, so many of you may or may not know the stories of my crazy neighbor lady.
Basically, we live above a family unit that is comprised of a grandmother (big momma), her daughter, and her daughter's 3 kids.
They are a LOUD family. Big Momma likes to yell from every corner of the house to her grandchildren. She screams at them about chores, bills, respect, what have you. I hear EVERY WORD.
When she does dishes/cooks, it's like WW3 is going on down there. I swear, it sounds like she is beating people to death with all the slamming and screaming.
We never say anything to her about this. Ever.
Now, Matt and I, we're a pretty quiet couple. We don't fight, we don't stomp around, we're mindful of the television volume, and so on.
This morning around 3 AM, I go into the room to wake Matt up for work. We snuggle; things are good. So about 4 AM, he gets out of bed, starts getting ready for work. We're talking quietly, still everything is OK.
I ask him to bring me some sinus medicine, and on his way back to me, he trips over something on the floor and kind of stumbles.
Yes, it was kind of loud, but it was like 10 seconds of noise, and that was it.
Big Momma downstairs FREAKS THE FUCK OUT.
She bangs on the ceiling like SIX times and starts screaming "I'M SO SICK OF THESE FUCKING JACKASSES UPSTAIRS, MAKING NOISE AT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT, THEY'RE SO GODDAMN DISRESPECTFUL!!!!!!!"
I'm like "WTF?"
I mean she was so heated, I was pretty sure she was going to come upstairs and try to give us some shit. (Which I would have loved, I would have handed her ass to her)
But, it quiets down, whatever.
However, I'm still fucking pissed off about the whole situation! What fucking right does she have to curse at or about us like that? All the times that she's louder then hell, I never say anything. At all. I don't even stomp on the floor.
Ugh, I fucking hate people sometimes.
And my next door neighbors kids are running wild downstairs, again. Like there is a 2 year old out there, right now, no supervision. And there was a baby, sitting in a car over there, with it's face pressed up against the window, and I didn't see any parents around.
And when I come inside and look out the window, they're suddenly all gone.
I thought this would help, but I'm still pissed off. |

Life is going good here, I suppose. I mainly just look at comunities with this journal now.
I can't wait till I'm done with this stupid job. I want to get back into my real life work.
And by that I mean popping out kids.
Only kidding.
I want to get back into painting again. I'm thrilled with my progress so far, and I really look forward to increasing my talent in leaps and bounds. I'm being crippled by the place I work though.
It allows me no creativity. I want to make things. I need to find a job where I can really be myself (a moody, introverted artist, lol) and let it all go.
Soon...
I'll be going back to school too. I'm going to make something amazing out of my self.
I just have to channel all my energy into it.
Well, that's all the updates I have. |

You know what really kills me? These new (teenage) army wives that take surveys. The survey will ask, "how is married life?" And they will be like "It's great!! :D :D :D"
My question is "How do you know?"
Your husband left shortly after you got married. He's across the world, while you sit at home with your parents.
So you aren't getting used to being married, you are geting used to being apart.
I know I got married young, but it was me and Matt the whole way. I feel like some of these new brides are going to be in for a HUGE shock when their hubbies finally get to be home for a while. Especially cause most of these new brides haven't even lived with their hubbies yet. They have no idea what he's like, what he does that'll annoy them, and so on.
I just wish some of these people would be honest about it. Cause when those surveys ask me a question like that, I have to seriously think about it. Married life isn't easy. It takes a lot to be an adult when you are still a kid. You have to make decisions that will affect your whole life. You have to factor in someone ele's feelings and thoughts into every desicion you make. You can't be selfish at all. You have to know how to communicate. You have to know where to draw lines. It's hard. But there is no one I'd rather do it with then Matt. So I guess married life is good, but I put a lot of thought into that answer.
So, of course me and Matt could have a GREAT :D :D marriage if we didn't have to see each other. If we don't see each other, then we only have to say I miss you, wahh. If we see each other everyday, it's like, how are we going to pay for this, how do we figure this out, work sucks, ect ect. That's the real struggle.
And plus, how do you know if you miss someone if you didn't have them to begin with, really? I love Matt and I can guarentee you that I'd miss him like crazy if we were apart for several reasons:
1) He's been there EVERYDAY since I was 15.
2) Nobody gets me like he does.
3) I never really laugh when he's not around me.
4) I'm super comfortable around him.
How do you get that with someone if you just met, got married, then they go off to Iraq?
ugh. |

It's very scary to be involved in an armed robbery.
However, my SM is being very calm and caring about it. He let me have today off, and wants me to keep working there.
He was nice to me about the whole situation.
No but seriously, wtf is wrong with people today? Thats so selfish and uncaring. I mean, think of peoples lives here. You are endangering everyone in this fucking place. What ever happened to caring about your fellow man? I would never ever stick a gun in someones face like that. It's awful to think I KNOW people who have committed crimes like this before. FUCK THEM. I don't care. After you are in a situation like that, all that shit fades into the background.
They stuck a gun in a 5'1, chubby, old, nice lady's face. That could have been their fucking grandma. What makes people do shit like this? Is it the thrill?? Do they need the money that bad??? All they got was like a hundred bucks. I bet we would've passed the hat for them, had they asked. But no.
It's not fair.
How the fuck to you protect yourself from that? How do you know what to do?
I'm 18.
I don't want to be shot in the face, please and thanks.

You know, looking back on these journal entries, I think it's funny how much has changed.
I'm married now.
I've lost a lot of the friends I used to have.
I'm eighteen.
I've graduated.
But a lot of it is the same.
I hate my mom.
I love Matt
I hate the bitches on here.
Eh.
I'm happy though.
And we are moving out in 4 days.
:)
No one will be able to find us.
We're sooo happy together. |

Look at your LJ "interests" list. If you have fewer than 50 interests, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five interests, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five interests, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly what it is about these things that interests you so much.
10: Candy- umm, i like candy. it's yummy.
20: Dropkick Murphys- they are an awesome band, and their song "Forever" had a lot of personal meaning to me.
30: grinning- it's really fun to grin, because it's the biggest smile you can have, and it makes other people smile.
40: JTHM- Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. He's is awesome, and I love reading his series.
50: Love with my matthew- i'm in love with matthew, my boyfriend.
60: Painting- I like to paint. It's fun.
70: Reading- I read anything and everything. I can't help it.
80: smiling- same reason as grinning.
90: The Vandals- one of my all-time favorite bands, because their music makes me laugh.
Yuppers.
For an update on my life?? Nothing new, just going to school, and trying to be not noticed by people.
LOVE. |

Going back to school time. And I'm only just now starting to sleep until noon.
I still am pissed at my mom.
She digs herself into a deeper hole with me, everytime she talks to me.
I have a class with darling Rachel, which makes me happy.
I have all my school supplies, but no new clothes.
My dad is being taken advantage of, which is funny, because he thinks he's sooo smart, when he's not.
Don't like him either.
The only person I like in this house is my dear Matthew.
He is soo sweet.
I love food, but we don't have any of that either. Eek. That sucks.
OK, that's all I can think of to say. |

DSL kicks soo much ass. I love downloading music now!!
Less Than Jake rocks too.
I cut my toe wide ass open. It was my baby toe.
Matt's cousin is going to Texas and that sucks.
She was nice.
Rancid. is. awesome.
So is NOFX.
AMBER NEVER CALLS ME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness, I love my Matthew soo much!
My mom is a being a huge BITCH to me and hunny.
I can't wait till I'm 18 years old.
I'm going to cut her off soooo quick.
I don't need her shit.
I don't need anybodys' shit.
I'd really rather be on my own.
I wonder if she knows that she's shoving me away.
I told her.
She'll realize it when I'm gone for good, and way happy.
She'll never see me or my baby, when I have it (eventually).
I have no respect for her.
I want to go back to school to avoid her.
She is making me hate her. Completely.
Why can't I have a cool mom, like Pam?
I end up with the deadbeat, loser, who treat me like shit, and would beat me if she was bigger.
I wanted to stick the shit out of her today.
Maybe I will when I get older.
I don't know why I didn't... oh yeah...
Matt was holding me back.
I'm soo angry.
I have no one to talk to it about.
I HATE THIS LIFE!!!!!!!!!
But I love you guys... |

I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore.
Before you take a swing, I wonder What are we fighting for,
When I say out loud, I want to get out of this, I wonder,
Is there anything I'm going to miss,
How's it going to be, When you don't know me,
How's it going to be, When you're sure I'm not there,
How's it going to be, When there is no one there to talk to about,
How it's going to be, 'Cause I don't care,
How's it going to be,
Where we used to laugh, There's a shouting match,
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch,
A silence I can't ignore,
Like . . The hammocks and the doorways we spent time in, Swing empty,
don't see lightning like last fall when it was always about to hit me,
I guess that is how it's going to be
How's it going to be
When you don't know me, any more
How's it going to be
Want to get myself back in again,
The soft dive of oblivion.
Want to taste the salt of your skin
The soft dive of oblivion |
