My pet peeves….

Well, since it’s basically a crappy winter day…why not write about crappy things. I can. It’s my blog. I can do anything I want to here. It’s my place. Don’t get offended. It’s not about you.

I will narrow them down to 7 pet peeves. I will try to be different…I won’t do the usual 10. It’s your lucky day!

1). The fact that I can’t talk freely about my huge interest in the paranormal. The freakin weird looks I get. Why is it so hard for people to talk about? Why is it an odd thing to even think about spirits in the afterlife? Why is it “silly”? Sure, it may be scary to people…I understand that. I don’t want to scare people…(even though it’s fun as hell . Stories have been around about ghosts for hundreds of years…why is it so odd to be interested in it? Why? People are INDIVIDUALS!!!!!  We all have our OWN interests. Mine don’t have to be just like yours!!!! It’s not so far fetched. Let’s talk about religion. Why is it so acceptable to believe in a “God” that you have never seen..you can’t prove he exists. Praying is sorta like EVP sessions. When doing EVP sessions, you ask questions, you talk to a “spirit” or a “presence” that may or may not be there, and ask for them to respond. Well, praying is like that in a way. You “talk” to a spirit, a presence. You ask for things, you ask for responses. It’s not so silly after all.

2). Having to explain myself. Why? I don’t ask you why you do the things you do. Why do I have to? Just because it’s not your way, doesn’t mean it’s fucking wrong.

3). My kids. My kids are mine. Tom and I raise them to how we see fit. We do the very best we can. We are both here. We are involved. We are great parents dammit!

4). The fucking cold, long winter. I fucking hate, HATE winter. It gets depressing. To be cooped up for so long. I get so cold so easily…it makes it hard for me…and with the way I am, busy all the time…I can’t sit around for long periods of time. I like to be busy, and winter just makes that extra hard to do that.

5). Being cold all the fucking time. That is one thing I would love to change about myself. I would love to be comfortable all the time!! Even in the summer…I get cold!!! I don’t know why!!! Don’t tell me it’s because I’m thin..or too thin…(which by the way..NOT TRUE)!!! I have friends that are much thinner..and they don’t get as cold as me or as often. So SORRY to everyone that I am around. I like it warm, or my body just shakes, and it’s not comfortable at all, and then I won’t be able to function.

6). Stupid people.

7). I guess I am running out of “peeves”. Which is good I guess. The first one I wrote about is really the one that bugs me the most right now! Really. The paranormal has interested me for about….forever!!! And, I am finially able to go and investigate..I got to meet people who love the same things! I met Conny! We are like frick and frack. It’s our passion! We have a blast with it!!! I met the guys from TAPS!!!! You want to know what Conny and I did last night for fun!!???? We got to go into her father’s house while he was gone for a couple of hours, and we just sat in the dark and did some EVP sessions, and ran my video camera with the IR light. I am still going through the stuff we collected last night. Don’t know if I got anything yet. She and her father, and sisters have heard weird noises, and felt some weird stuff there in the past. So that is what we did for fun. We sat in the basement in the dark, asking questions. Soon, it will be a graveyard….(once this shitty weather warms up a bit). We have an upcoming investigation at a Holiday Inn on Grand Island, where it’s known to be haunted by a little girl. That is what I do for fun! Doesn’t mean I’m fucked in the head, or doesn’t mean that it’s silly. Doens’t mean that my soul is going to be taken over by the devil. Doesn’t mean that it’s taking too much time away from my family..oh yea…it’s allowed to have a hobby or an outside interest of your own, out of the house!!! You can still be a good mom if you do!!!

So, there you go. Aren’t you glad that you stopped by? Just thought I’d air out my peeves. I feel much better now!
