GUEST BLOG SERIES ARTICLE 5

 I am such a lucky bird, (that beautiful bird of paradise yes), every week I have such awesome bloggers doing their thing for me. So this week Liesl over at Pretty.Random.Things is in this week’s blog list. So without further wha-wha from me, here she is, enjoy her post as much as I did.



                             

I Just Don't Get It

                                


In my noble, and maybe somewhat impossible, quest of understanding everything in the world, I must say, there are still some gray areas that continue to baffle me. Maybe there are some people that “get it”… or do they really? I need some help, so I did what I do best; I made a list:



Top 10 Things that I just don’t get:

1.            When people “Like” their own status on Facebook – We already know you like your status, duh! Otherwise you wouldn’t have posted it.

2.           2Vampire mania – I know I might actually get stoned for this one by an angry Twihard, but I don’t get the current vampire obsession on the big and small screen. There’s the Twilight Saga, Vampire Diaries, True Blood and probably eight others I don’t know the names of. Pale, undead and brooding? Please, can someone explain the appeal?


3.          Google Plus – Does anyone actually use this? All I know is that I’m in a circle or something… uhm, that’s about it. Now what? Can’t I just use Facebook?

4.       Heavy Metal – These people sound like they are in agony, and must be saved from their misery, please. And the long hair?


5.          Inequality – Why can’t gay people get married in most countries? Don’t even get me started!

6.           Lindsay Lohan – Girl has got to get her act straight. What’s wrong with her? Can’t she just at least try not to have a new mug shot every six months?


7.           Baggy pants – Isn’t, and never will be, flattering on anyone

8.       Mathematics

9.           Squatter toilets – Since I’ve been living in Taiwan, I have struggled with this concept many times. I still don’t know how to use one without getting pee all over my feet. Why do people still use these toilets if you can just use a regular toilet?

10.      Why Lady Gaga follows me on Twitter – I’m not kidding; she is one of my 249 followers. I guess she likes my tweets about the current weather in Taipei and how much I hate my braces.

If you are “in the know”, please enlighten me. Also, you should share things that you don’t get and maybe someone have the answer to your source of bafflement.

    I happen to like my own status and the general feeling for me is, because I can, or some other reason just as Narcissistic. I daresay Lady Gaga might be interested in your thoughts on Squatter toilets, and thats that.
    I am going to need a little more time to come up with my own list.

    Excellent list. My husband likes some heavy metal and I swear my ears are going to shut down in self preservation and never open again.

    Summer, I read your list and I think it's so funny that we both mention the "Twilight Saga". I'm glad I'm not the only one that just don't get it..

    Joslin, I understand your pain! The Boyfriend now knows that heavy metal is forbidden in my presence. But sadly that goes both ways; no Rihanna in his presence :-(

Eight Things I Will Never Apologise For!

1.           THINKING THAT ZIMBABWEAN MEN WHO GET RAPED ASKED FOR IT. Glad I got that one off my chest, and it’s true. Drive down any highway, Main Street, under any bridge, walk through any forest, go behind any building and you are bound to see at least 5 men urinating. You think the world is your urinal, whipping out your junk every opportunity you get and expect to get away with it. Just as you justify raping a child, woman, girl, baby. I to would justify raping any man who so carelessly displays his wares. If you don’t want it then keep your junk in your pants! 2.           HATING SOMETHING EVERYONE ELSE LOVES Let’s see, that would be puppies, cats, corn flakes, that stupid series 24 which translates to a total disregard of that famed agent Jack Bauer. Following that I hate crowds and small talk, yes even if you are my friend, either get to the poi...

How To Get Your New Man To Throw You A Party On The First Date

                                It's quite an accomplishment to get a woman to go out with you, it is quite an accomplishment to get the lady to love you. With that in mind ladies when you start dating a guy you deserve a party for being so pretty/awesome/having such beautiful hands/fine skin/lovely eyes/ such a throaty voice. All of that should be celebrated, so when he starts a conversation, here's how it should go. “So what do you want to do? Movie? Dinner?” You should answer, “How about a party…for me?” “A party?” “Yeah, it will be a good chance for me to meet your friends and for you to meet my friends.” “A party?” “It doesn’t have to be a big party…although that’s what I would prefer. It could just be at your place with a few friends and drinks.” “Okay.” “And then after drinks we all ride in a limo to the ballroom you rented and meet the other two hundred guests. It could be ...

Why You Should Get Married Before 21 :)

If you are me, explaining ceaselessly to your 6 year old sister why you aren’t married is tedious. Being cross examined by a 6 and 12 year old is slightly worse. “V how old are you.” (Mumbles appropriate age) “How old is cousin V?”  (Not to be confused with V me) I mumble a number which makes her 2years younger. It takes N about an hour to figure this out. Large numbers are still a bit of a problem for her. “But she’s having a baby, why aren’t you?” “Well…” I struggle to find a response, 6year olds are robotically engineered and any question is most likely a double entendre. “You see,” I continue in my best grown up voice, “she is married and I am not.” Big N who is beginning to understand life a little better pipes in, “But you are sooooo old when are you getting married? I am telling you, by this time next year all the boys will see you as an old maid.” “But you have a boyfriend; doesn’t he want to marry you?” N whines “You s...
