Well, it was a fun weekend, ladies night was a blast with a little bit of lesbian bar karaoke. Saturday was lazy and luxurious, I took a two hour nap! Saturday was a fun night out at the bar and what ended up to be a fairly early night home. Sunday again was lazy, with a long walk and some Bears check in. Sure, I’m happy about the Bears, but I won’t pretend I’m some kind of fan.
What I did want to talk about today though, was 24. (NO SPOILERS).
John and I have been talking about how Jack can convey alpha-dogness through his voice alone. He tells someone to do something over the phone and you freaking do it, cause you can hear in his voice that you need to.
Which brought to mind a story of my elderly grandmother, who was a pistol, and quite a good cook too! But one night, she’s walking through a parking garage and hears someone behind her, he gets closer and closer until he’s right behind her, and of course, she knows the score. So she whips around, looks the guy right in the face and says, with her finger pointed “NO YOU WILL NOT”. Guess what? He didn’t.
Then at ladies night someone told this story (I think it was Crescent) about Maya Angelou. She was sleeping and heard someone break into her house. She heard the guy creeping around, but she stayed in her bedroom with the lights off. When the guy walks into her bedroom, she says in her distinctly amazing voice “Is this the way you choose to die?” Ah yeah, the guy booked out of there apparently.
Anyway, just an interesting diatribe in “it’s not what you say, but how you say it”.
So…give me a million dollars.
Did it work?

Oh man. I WISH that had been my story, but I mostly just talked about poop. I think Gena told that gem.
i love that crescent so much. but now i love you even more that you talked about crap.
and maya angelou. wow. i'd have tripped over my own feet getting the hell out of there.
and actually on point, i've read and heard many times that just yelling FUCK YOU or putting up any sort of fight is enough for people to give up the goose sometimes, cause they just aren't expecting it. and i've always also heard that fight, fight, fight. especially if it looks like you might be taken somewhere else. if it's hurt or dead where you are or taken somewhere else?? go for it right then and there, you virtually have nothing to lose.
even if the guy's got a knife or a gun, if you battle ass, chances are he's not going to be able to hurt you bad enough to kill you.
there. there's my PSA for the day. back to bed.
Right, and I've heard you're supposed to make yourself vomit, so there's a pretty image for you.
Oh, and if they have a gun, run, because the chances of them shooting, then hitting you, are better than if you just stay there.
But yeah, Crescent's right, she just talked about poop.
I NEED THE CODES NOW!
