Are you random yet? You should be random. Why aren't you random?

Wheee! It's that time o' the week - time to let all your randomness hang out. So c'mon - you've spent the weekend celebrating your independence, now join the damn crowd! Write a post that contains nary a segue, grab that funky purple button, and link up!
I'm tapping this out on my awkward laptop because I was working on a logo/business card for a friend (all my software is on here). The friend hasn't responded well to my usual approach to these requests, which is to ignore it and make excuses until they a) forget they asked in the first place, b) get pissed off enough to ask someone else or c) move on to some other kind of business endeavour. For some reason he keeps phoning no matter how often I grunt a non-response.This friend is half responsible for my "I'm blogging" excuse, though. He was the one who said to me sometime last summer: "Do you have a blog? You should have a blog. Why don't you have a blog?".
Bet he's sorry now.
On a tangent that is totally unrelated because this is supposed to be random, that's pretty much how hubby and I got together. Someone said: "Are you dating? You should be dating. Why aren't you dating?"
And look how well that turned out. So, hey! High hopes for this whole blog thing.
Yes, I am highly suggestible, why do you ask?
You ever have a whole post planned around photographic evidence that turns out to not look that impressive after all?
I hate that.
If my son makes it to adulthood with all his limbs and eyes and the majority of his skull intact, I'm throwing a huge fucking party. You read it here first.
What brought that on? Oh, just, EVERYTHING HE DOES.
I've been getting a LOT of google searches along the lines of "what to do with your girlfriend". I'm going to take the high road and assume these people are looking for date ideas, but I have no idea how they end up here. Hubby and I don't really get to go on dates anymore, and even when we did, we spent a lot of the time with our backs to each other on separate computers, playing MMOs. We're those uber geeky people whose avatars get married in-game.
Well, except for the part where I would never fucking do that.
At any rate, I totally don't recommend suggesting that as a fun date to the majority of girlfriends.
(Just the awesomest ones. Heh)
In New Zealand, an ad agency created a billboard that bleeds when it rains to remind people to drive according to the road conditions. Um, am I the only one who would drive into the fucking ditch after seeing a bleeding billboard?
Okay, gotta go continue my charity work now. Random it up, ya'll!*
*I feel I can say this because I'm still drinking mojitos.

we all have a "blog pusher"! Damn Them!!! lol! "You should try blogging"! I tried it, now I am tied to it like it is a magazine job! LOL!
Those marrying avatars are a bad influence. They hump anything that moves, get knocked up from oral sex, take hallucinogenics regularly, and throw orgy parties more than they brush their teeth. Look away, Keely.
A bleeding billboard, I hope they have some cash in reserve for the lawsuits from all the accidents. That is just nuts!
I'm random, I'm random. I would totally flip out at the bleeding billboard. Can we say more harm than good?
If my children made it to adulthood chances are very good yours will. I was the most lax mother in the world. Probably why I never received the "Mother of the Year" award that I so richly deserved.
A bleeding bill board? Who thinks of this stuff.
Happy random Tuesday.
Whenever we get a date night anymore, we're tempted to get a hotel room just to SLEEP. No monkey business, just sleep.
Who the hell came up with that billboard idea? They need them here in FL, nobody can drive here. Well, except me.
You should come to FL. Did that suggestion work?
Oh yes I am random. And I have the same inkling about my son making it to adult hood. Not based on me, but my husband. I'm surprise he made it past 18!

Heh, a party to celebrate when your son makes it to adulthood with all his limbs and eyes and the majority of his skull intact...love that you left room for a 'just in case' so you can still throw a party. ;)
Apparently I'm trying to become a blog pusher - I don't know anyone IRL that blogs, but I keep trying to convince them that it's a great idea. So far they're ignoring me. Wonder if I should feel slighted? ;)
Ewwwww! A bleeding billboard - yep, I totally would end up driving into the ditch if I saw something like that. Good thing there aren't any that I know of for our long drive home today - but you know I'll be checking every stinking billboard the next 9-11 hours... ;)
Happy RTT! :)
Beloved doesn't game, so I'm stuck playing Portal and Spore by myself (when they aren't crashing my damn system). But we've been known to IM each other, since his laptop is set up in the living room and mine is in the dining room.
The living room and the dining room? Right next to each other. Like, within site and hearing distance of each other.
Oh, and the bleeding billboard? Yup...right off the road.
That is why we celebrate those teenage years so differently - we are just surprised the kids are still alive.
My kid just spilled her bowl of Cheerios all over the table and the floor. Thank goodness she missed the laptop! Now, what was I going to say again?
Bleeding billboards are really freaky. I think I'd drive off the road if I ever saw one! Happy RTT!
i've got that thing going on with my 10 year old kid too. although with his older brother? it was more things he said than parts of his body he hurt.
he's twenty now. i'm still stinging from some of his remarks.
good luck! and i enjoyed participating!
I've got a blog pusher, too...she also happens to be my Facebook pusher, but so far I've resisted the peer pressure there.
It's no wonder you have that "Superior Scribbler Award" on your page.
Id love to come to the my kid didnt kill him self party. Is there gonna be a keg or is BYOB?
Nary a segue??
A bleeding billboard? WTH? Isn't that some kind of liability?
A bleeding billboard would be a sight to see!
I would love a bleeding billboard. Not sure why, but it kinda turns me on. Then again, house plants turn me on lately. So much for losing your libido when you have a hysterectomy, I'm practically humping my hamper.
A bleeding sign? oh that's just rediculous, I wonder how evironmentally safe that is?
I'm a Random Tuesday newbie.
It's my first time, be gentle!!!
Hey there, I haven't been around in a while as I've been living under a rock, but here I am now. I'm posting my random thoughts as soon as I finish this comment.
I can so relate to the throwing of a party if kids live to adulthood. I have 2 teenage daughters that have to share a room. If they make it to adulthood I'm throwing my own Mardi Gras!
Also I can relate to your response to having a request made of you. Your responses are pretty much how I respond when something major is asked of me (Keep in mind that my idea of 'major' differs wildly from how others define it. I have much lower standards than most people).
Have a great Tuesday!
