Damn Kid
Disclaimer: Baby Z whined for approximately 11.5 hours today, with minor breaks for eating and sleeping. Therefore, after returning home and getting Chicken tucked safely in bed, I requested some Don Julio tequila from the liquor stash and proceeded to drink myself into a happy place. I am in that happy place now. Therefore, all verbage spewed forth during this post is tarnished by the joy of alcohol + tits. For an explanation of tits, see Corinna. Tits make alcohol more potent. Therefore (I shall use therefore as much as I fucking want to, dammit) I am slightly trashed RIGHT NOW. Be scared. Very scared. And I apologize in advance for any typos or general fuct (aka fucked) nature of this post. I am truly sorry. Not really.Chicken and I were looking at my blog today (during the 10 sober minutes of my evening) when he noticed the I Peed A Little® part of my sidebar. He wanted to know how to do the ® in HTML, so I showed him the code. Then he asked me to open Microsoft Word for him, and he proceeded to show me how to do the copyright, trademark, arrows and emoticons in word using the AutoCorrect feature. What The Fuck?! I know Word. I know Excel. I know PowerPoint. I know that damn database software that sucks my ass but I know it. I'm pretty damn decent at that computer type shit. However, I had no idea you could make them thar pretty thingys in Word. How did Chicken learn this? By fucking around in computer lab after he finished his assignment early.
Where's the funny? As I sat dumb-fucking founded that my kid out-worded me, he yelled "Owned" and then did the triple snap (aka Z Snap). What the fuck. Really.
Also, a depressing sidenote which probably has influenced my decision to drink tonight thus proving that my status as an alcoholic is coming along quite well: My father's 64th birthday would have been today. Or is today. But he's not here. You know what I mean. Sucks. I miss him. It's been 3 months and 16 days. *sigh*

I'm sorry you're feeling down and missing your dad. Happy belated birthday to him.
I hope Chicken cheers you up cause that "owned" thing was pretty darn funny.
Shame on me for never having visited this blog before. Love it, it's fabulous. Will be linking, fo' sho', as Chicken might say. One day.
Chicken is an awesome little up an coming geek. (I mean geek in the most awesome sense of the word.)
Oh snap! That boy be talkin' some smack girl! You just gonna sit back and take that? Uh uh! Dontchu be lettin' him be gettin' all up in your grill like that girl! Dammmn!
And, on a more serious note, I'm sorry yesterday was rough. I don't know if it will help or hurt, but your HNT with him just before he died stays with me to this day. The image of you holding his hand is both beautiful and haunting. I know he loved you very much. And I'm sure he is so very proud of you. Hugs.
This is why I want Chicken for myself.
As for your dad - all I can say is it gets easier but it doesn't at the same time. The hurt changes I guess. As of today my bro has been gone 6 years and 10 days and 7 1/2 hours.
Peace.
Happy birthday to your dad. I just came back from visiting my dad (ill) -- so I'm treasuring the time.
Chicken cracks me up! I teach 7th grade. Move here in three years!
Birthdays are always rough ones..Im dreading mothers day myself. They do get better with time though.
Those darned kids. Always on the cutting edge.
As I have always said, if you want to know anything about computers, you've got to ask a kid. The boy is awesome Sam, and you should be proud to be his mom. :-)
On a more serious note, I just want to let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you as you remember your dad and his birthday. HUGS
If you enjoy owning people, you'll love this site.
Pure Pwnage. Yes, it really is spelled that way. Trust me. It's fun-freakin-tabulous. And these guys are totally making lots of money and getting famous and stuff.
i love that you are a drunk blogger here. if you had never said anything, i never would have guessed. not that you sound drunk all the time. just that this post doesn't seem alcohol-influenced.
i learn so much html stuff here. now i want to know how schade boy made a hyperlink in his comment. very cool.
as for Chicken, i have three words: Future Rhodes Scholar.
My mom (Czarina) says that the best way to learn computer stuff is to sit down and fuck around to see what you can teach yourself. i have to say, it works that way sometimes.
and i thought the term was "served" not "owned". maybe that is passe now. or maybe it was just that one episode of south park. i'm sad because now i'm too old to know about current slang. :(
my 16-year-old version of myself is rolling her eyes disappointedly at me.
as for your dad, birthdays are hard. second only to the holidays. in my family, we decided to throw a big party on his birthday every year. sounds weird, but it's kind of nice. it's a memorial celebration of sorts. this year will be the first annual one. maybe you can do something similar?
hang in there. it will be less painful as time goes by. i'm even to the point now where i dont' cry about it EVERY time i think about it. just sometimes. now it's the missing him part that sucks the most.
