Oddly enough, most of my cravings have invovled fish.
Which is why I was in HEAVEN last night when we went to Hapa's.
After dinner, we went to see the movie Juno. Hands down, one of the best movies I've seen in awhile. The dialouge kept you lauging the whole time, even during some of the most serious of parts. You would think because the movie is about a pregnant teenager I liked it that much more, like I could relate to it or something, but that wasn't really the case. I was so impressed with the movie and the comedy, that I really had very little time to feel like I was relating. I liked that.

I've noticed on Cafemom.com (the only place I've found to vent about pregnancy and other random issues) that there are two girls on one particular board that love to attack me every time I make a worthwhile post. This stems from a misread conversation. One of them posted an article about The Golden Compass, and of course, shit hit the fan. I chimed in and suggested that all the women be tolerant of one another (on the board, in conversation) and the original poster assumed I was calling her INTOLERANT. She jumped down my throat, and ever since then her and her due date lackey have taken every chance they've gotten to bash a post that doesn't have to do with something simple like gender or baby furniture.
I put in my 2 cents on Homeschooling to a Mother who asked for everyone's opinon. Seeing as I am a LISCENCED teacher and I was homeschooled for several years, I figured my opinon was just as valid (if not more so) than anyones. I immediately got attacked for using the wrong adjective to descirbe how often the state will test a homeschooled child and because I related my feelings from when I was homeschooled (lonely) she assumed I was saying homeschooled children are not socialized.
I had to come back and politely bite my tounge.
I swear to god, I just wanted to say, "Listen, bitch. Why don't you quit fighting with me 10 times a day and go back to homeschooling your kid like you claim you're doing". Not quite sure how she's a successful educator at home when she spends half her fucking life on cafemom.com posting worthless shit about how she's going to decorate her baby's room.
It's increasingly evident to me that unless I lurk, I will always get into arguments with people over the internet. It's frustrating when you don't have very many people to talk to or relate to in real life- so you reach out for support over the internet and get your hands bitten off.
*sigh*

That site has been pissing me off recently as well. They've deleted up to three of my blogs (returned one of them), because they were discussing CM policy which can only be done [on CM] on their discussion board. I feel this is bullshit, but what can I do? Oh yeah, delete my account and not worry about it anymore. But, I'm sadly addicted to it, as my 24 groups can tell you. I'd ask those two girls (I assume they're girls, because only children act the way you say they have been) what their big problem is with you. Tell them they're being ridiculous in a way to have them say "Thank-you." Patrick is really good at this. If I were you though, I'd ignore every post they made, be it in general or toward you. Replying to them will only make the fire bigger.
I left both CM and BBC for that exact reason. I can't deal with crap ass girls.
But, then again, my favorite "no drama" girls all had a major meltdown on my "no drama" board, which caused another board to be made "without the drama".
A) I don't think it's possible for pregnant women to interact with one another without some sort of ickiness (in fact, on BBC, I was referred to as a "truth bleeder" by one girl because I told her the medical professionals were not infallible)
B) I don't think it's possible for new moms to interact with one another without some sort of ickiness because we are all, after all, hormonal women dealing with taking on a whole new life without much "lead up".
So, all that said, you may come out of it with some pretty good friends here and there. The girls I was lucky enough to find (despite all the bullshit) I'd be more than happy to call Ben's aunties any day.
