Old School 90210



Remember that one episode of 90210 where Brandon and Steve co-owned that little newspaper, and Brandon and Kelly were living together, and there was some relationship advice lady writing at the paper and she had a thing for Brandon? And then Brandon slept with the advice columnist and she gave him a watch for some reason… and then Brandon needed a gift for Kelly's birthday and he have her the watch. Was the advice lady named Emma? And THEN the advice columnist SAW Kelly wearing the watch and Brandon got caught for cheating, and there was lots of drama?



I bought myself a men's watch a few days ago, and every time I look at it I think of that one episode of 90210. Good times!!!

Dating vs. Stalking

I had a date Friday night. Things got off to a weird start...

He picked me up, and the microchip in the key to his car short circuited. Of course, his car was in my driving, blocking my car (in my garage). He called AAA to see about getting it towed, repaired, and a loaner in the mean time.

The AAA call didn't go well. He apparently forgot to renew his membership so he was no longer a member. He renewed it over the phone. Tempers may have been heating up at this point.

Next, the place he wanted it towed is no longer a AAA approved mechanic. He was not happy with this info either. They would have to tow it to the dealership which is about 20 minutes from his place.

Lastly (and about an HOUR later) the phone call to the car rental place did NOT go well. he was rude, short, and MEAN to the people on the other end of the phone. If this is "best behavior" as practiced on a second date, I would HATE to see how pissed he really would have been!!!

We did finally end up going out that night, and it was OK.

The following morning he called me at 8:00 AM. Dude, my mom knows better than that! He proceeded to call me 6 times on Saturday, send 4 e-mails, and 8 texts. In fact, when I didn't respond soon enough he started getting concerned for me. I got one "are you OK?" text and a voicemail as well.

The next morning, I got two more phone calls (8 AM AGAIN!!!) and two more texts. If I was ever interested in seeing him again, the pushiness and neediness have TOTALLY put me off. It feels controlling! Like stalker-ish style controlling! We've been out twice, I'm not your girlfriend, so CHILL OUT!

I do NOT respond well to the controlling nature of men.

Like curly hair, wild horses, and the weather, I will NOT be contained or controlled!

Sarah Palin, no way!

Sarah Palin is the LEAST qualified VP pick EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the personal stuff (since she's so in favor of abstinence) is so hypocritical. I can't believe the republicans didn't sniff that out better before the offer was made.

Do they really think that just because she has a vagina the former Hillary supporters will now vote McCain/Palin??

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO McCAIN/PALIN!
