So that's a thing now. Chocolate parties? Like Yankee Candles and Pampered Chef and all of the other stoopid pyramid scheme parties that lure women into spending money on "things they need." SORRY. Grew up with a mother that partook in every single damn pyramid, oh, pardon me, "multi-level marketing" opportunity that came her way. No, we don't need electricity, you buy that starter kit of vitamins for skin. Which we'll end up using because you won't be able to sell it to anyone.
Can't I just buy my chocolate like a normal person? Filled with shame at the checkout, like God intended? LOL.
(One mom at the swim lessons is cozying up to me and I knew from the start we had nothing in common. And the "you should come to my chocolate party!" was the clencher.) Guys, I am so good with being by myself, I do not need to just be with people for the sake of it. Does that make me a bad person? Eh.
I am so glad my sister is coming up this weekend, because I have an excuse to make THESE OH MY GOD. It'll be near 100, so frozen boozy melon = YES PLEASE. Also, I got the Mr. an outdoor sound system so we can crank the tunes to 11 and hear them with crisp clarity, so a good time shall be had, I THEREBY DECREE.
QUERSTSHUN FOR THE MASSES: I know y'all are probably weary of me constantly linking to HDJM (well, come on, I'm proud of it, and how else will people know about it?) so I have a poll under the cut to hear your thoughts on yaoi.
ION, that thing I posted yesterday about my daughter? She told me this morning how glad she was that I was taking things back. That she thought about it and doesn't think that's really "her style." Have I mentioned how much I love my kid? Because I do. She's a good egg.
Oh, and the correct response to "are you needing me to do that?" is YES. :)

Stoney, how you've been pushing your new site is:
douchey. SHUT UP, god.

a bit irritating, I want to hear all about you doing other boring things. It's why I come here.

I think going to sites like ontd_[fandom related] and posting a link to HDJM is:
a terrible idea, you shouldn't pimp yourself in those places.
3(5.1%)
a great idea, there's an untapped market!
29(49.2%)
a terrible idea for YOU to do, you should get someone else to do it! GRIN.
27(45.8%)
I've not linked to your site on my LJ/Tumblr/FB/DW/blog because
I hate you and everything you stand for. Why would I promote y'all?
2(2.5%)
because I don't think of doing it? I mean, are you needing me to?
29(36.2%)
I don't ever pimp or rec anything, that's not my style.
11(13.8%)
because I never thought of it! I SHOULD TOTALLY DO THAT.
12(15.0%)
this is a blank option, because I know some of you like to click on shit. You're welcome.

Your daughter is very sound and is whom you deserve *beamy face*
Is it real chocolate or one of those disgusting chocolate fountains that you stick things in and then drip all over the carpet and your hands leaving the thing you dipped bare? *not that I have suffered one of those but I'm just saying face*
I know I'm getting hits, I can see that I typically get several hundred hits from my LJ, but the comments aren't there, and obv. I want to expand so more people can see how funny my writers are. :)
It's chocolate products, like boxes of chocolate this, chocolate sauce that, chocolate BBQ sauce, chocolate salad dressing (I'm not joking) and - ugh. No thanks. Not for me.
The melon looks delicious and I think I'm going to make the gingerbread Belgian ale ice cream this weekend. Dessert+alcohol+freezing is the perfect summer treat. I am just back from walking and I can't believe I am having to take two liters of water along with me I am sweating so much. It would be embarrassing to pass out on somebody's lawn...
Good on your daughter! *claps hands*
I KNOW, RIGHT!?
I totally need to make those melons!!
<3
Yankee Candles? OMG that sounds like some sort of uncomfortable kink. (what are they?)
(yeah, sorry, I'm just here to fill gaps in my cultural knowledge)
Ew, chocolate parties. Super-duper posh chocolate? I actually don't like chocolate apart from the really cheap stuff, but no-one will ever believe me.
Google Yankee Candles: they're scented candles people sell at parties. They're... intense. (Blueberry pie scent, for example. Gag.)
2. Chocolate? I bet it's crappy chocolate too. yeeks.
3. Your daughter rocks. Did she get outside fashion help while she was at the mall with friends? I'm also very excited she came to the conclusion that it wasn't her style. *love*
4.Backing up to say, my husband sent me that melon recipe link the other day. It look delicious and it's fruit so it's HEALTHY.
5. I like numbers today.
I BELIEVE THAT MELON RECIPE IS HEALTHY, TOO. Ha. <3
I don't know what ontd is, but pimping is always a good idea, because they do the work and you get the cash. My mother taught me well.
"Ohnotheydidnt" - that comm. There are spin offs, like ontd_politics, ontd_glee, ontd_supernatural, etc.
I just don't know if it's tacky for ME to post there. I'm doing some digging in their "here's what we accept" posts.
I don't mind the HDJM, but I love reading your more mundane stuffs too. <3
Awww, thanks. I love that someone will listen to my inane prattle. Ha!
I just like clicking things, you're right.
I know, I do, too. (Which is why I always fill out my own polls, lol.)
You know where you are in that equation.
<3 <3 <3 to you for all the tweeting, REALLY.
:(|)
I shall pimp HDJM at every opportunity. I look forward to the recaps just as much, if not more than the actual shows.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, that is so nice to hear!!
