A Psychopath

Umm we're a little scared to say this but ok, here we go: You didn't pass the psychopath test. You are not a very social person, you prefer being alone in your apartment, doing your own thing, with no intervention from the outside world. You are not a very empathic person, but you don't see that as a problem, you see that as an advantage! Our advice to you is to try to be more social (without kidnapping anyone!), and see how you feel, you might like it! Do you agree with your result? Share your thoughts with us in the comments!

when ghosts attack.

watched an episode of When Ghosts Attack an All-American Mom went on a plantation trip with her friends to get away. she brought home a spirit with her. the plantation she was at looked an awful lot like The Myrtles. at the end there was a disclaimer that no other guest to the plantation had been followed home by a spirit. tried to google this after my success with the whole Herbert Cowboy Courage deal....guess you can't win them all.

made it till 9:04 p.m. before I jammied up tonite....of course, my fave jammies were in the laundry....

and I waited for some warm jammies!

Deliverance

well, now I can say I have seen it.. of course I knew the squeal like a pig part and the dueling banjo part.....scary shit. FIRST.....I wouldn't go on a canoe trip down a river unless it was a guided thing. with a real guide. I wouldn't fuck with locals. I wouldn't try to hide said locals bodies. I wouldn't go to authorities when I finally got out of the damn river. I thought about this movie when we were on vacation on the Black River.....Ian & I stayed at the cabin while the rest went on a float trip. we played outside for awhile. It was beautiful and eerily quiet. right off the road but isolated. peaceful. no banjo music. and now I have watched it. would I watch it again? probably not. but I did watch it. I've meant to for a long time. gotta knock these things off the list one at a time....since last summer I have watched Easy Rider (read about the scene in St Louis Cemetery No. 1, so had to see it), Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (I am fascinated with all things southern...), and now Deliverance. gettin' 'er done.

so, during the credits...it was filmed in the Appalachian Mountains. and the toothless guy was Herbert Cowboy Coward. I think he's Cowboy on Hillbilly Blood.

just googled it, and "by ad there", I was right. (or did Grandpa Vermal say "By God There"?) wish I could remember. it makes me sad that I can't, and none of the relatives can agree, but I'm pretty sure we all agree that Grandma Grace said "on it." anyways.....I was right! the old brain still works on a few cylinders....And now he has a pet squirrel.

the article I found said he is 90 and going on a blind date with MeMaw off Hollywood Hillbillies. I tried to watch Hollywood Hillbillies, truly I did. I just couldn't. took it right off the list.< apparently even I have standards....

my sisters both commented on facebook:

Lisa: By ad there. That's what I remember!

Brenda: same here for sure. Grandpa would say "by ad there" and grandma would always conclude every sentence with the phrase "on it". They made quite the pair with their crazy catch phrases.

me: I vote for by ad there, too. Kevin swears it's By God There.

mom: Sometimes it was by god there, mostly by ad there.

I am so out of the loop.

got a lot done at work, left a few minutes early, even, so got to see Kevin a minute before he left for work. Kate came home from dance, she foraged thru our dvd collection to find one for me to wrap for the FFA Xmas party tonite. (did I even know about this? good thing I have a dvd hoard of my favorites I'm replacing that I have on VHS but never have time to open and watch.....this years offering is Mars Attacks) it's also Open House, which was rescheduled from earlier, but 'you don't have to go.' so, started laundry, did a quick floor clean, making a hurried up real food supper, then it'll be couch time for mom. AND Freak Show is back tonite, but I won't watch it with out Katie, and she may be home late after FFA party. but, it's back!
