Impending birthday

I will be turning 23 years old on August 2nd, a pirate themed birthday party is in the making to celebrate, yarr, and my friends and family have started enquiring about my desires in the present department. I have a feeling that my mother will be giving me a Nintendo DS Lite because, well, I have been brainwashing her since about January with Nintendo propaganda. My brother and I have birthdays only weeks apart, so every year my mother complains about how insensitive we are to have been born so close together, and how she has to pick one to spend more money on…

“Your birthdays are too close, I never have a payday between them to buy your presents.”

“You say that like it’s our fault,” I replied.

“I should have waited a few more days to have you, so there was a payday between your birthdays.”

“I’m sorry that my lungs developed too quickly and my impending birth wasn’t synchronized after payday. If I had womb wifi, I could have checked my Googlegaga calendar and then I would have known to spawn slower to allow for a payday, but I was a tad busy growing major organs at the time.”

“Always an excuse,” said my mother, who managed to own my rant in only three words.

“Did you not learn anything from Aston Kutcher movies?”

“Who?”

“Demi Moore’s boyfriend, in the Butterfly Effect.”

“Oh, him, I thought he was her son.”

“So does the National Enquirer.”

Only my mother could take a conversation from birthdays to incest in a matter of seconds.

Blogiversary 5.0

Today is my Blogiversary, I have been blogging at kitta.net for five years. Some would say it’s a milestone to have been around since BS (before spam) and 0.71, but in the days leading up to this milestone WordPress started randomly switching back to it’s default layout. I think I have fixed it, I say ‘think’ because every other time I thought it was fixed the switching soon returned. For now, it seems to have stopped being a theme switching zombie.

Five years…

I wonder if five blog years is the equivalent to fifteen human years, and the theme switching is the emerge of an emo blogeenager of doom. Unbeknownst to me, my blog is planning to have a party on my server when I’m away – It will invite all the cool dotcom’s, trash the root directory and some drunk site will throw up on the backups after drinking the beer that digg.com brought. Then my blog will ping drunk around the net with it’s friends until 4am, knocking over inboxes left and right, and DOSing the crazy cat ladies blog. To cap off the night, it’ll hear from dasbecca.com that gtmcknight.com totally doesn’t want to take it to the bloggies, and start blogging about the black abyss that is its blog soul.

Alas, I am the admin, and once I login my blog will totally be grounded from trackbacking and be made to dump the cache every morning until it shows some respect.

Leprechauns

The boyfriend has a cold. And in true man style he is being ranty, cute, sinffly and calling me “pookie wookie smookie wookums” while I keep telling him to take Panadol every six hours. We were watching Family Guy, the episode with a leprechaun on the board of a smoking conversation, so he had to ask…

“Sweetie, can we get a leprechaun?”

“No” I replied, as I have many times before when he asked if he can have a penguin and keep it in the bath tub.

A few seconds after I turned down his request, I remembered another leprechaun related issue…

“Some guy is hot linking to an image on my server from his Myspace profile. I wanted to teach him a lesson, and as I was looking for some suitable porn to replace the image with, I found cgi leprechaun porn.”

“That’s some good porn,” he said with a laugh after I showed him the images.

“If we can’t get a leprechaun… can we get a dishwasher?”

“Yes”

For those of you interested in how my devious retaliation plan turned out, you may want to check out the guy who has lovely leprechaun porn as the background on his Myspace profile, and for archival purposes, here is a screen shot for when he realises hot linking is not cool.
