Apparently I Write Like a Man

I was playing with The Gender Genie. You submit text and it predicts whether it was written by a male or a female. It predicted that most (75%) of the passages I entered were written my a man.

Search Terms

So every once and awhile I check out the search terms that bring people to my humble site. Usually they pertain to something like 12 dpo, known donor, home insem, CA, NC, chemistry, or, on the rare occasion Bl0ckbuster. Today was a shocker though. Someone found me by searching “I hate being a mother”. I guess the title of the site mixed with my “I hate that I’m selfish” post brought them in. That someone could actually hate being a mother, to me, seems impossible. How I wish I could get drunk, have a one night stand, and oops! get knocked up, actually stay pregnant long enough to give birth to a live baby only to hate the baby (watch out, don’t slip on the dripping sarcasm). It baffles me that people might actually hate something that I want so badly. I just want to get to a point that I can be the Other Mother to something other than the furry kids.

While we’re on the topic of knockin’ up my wife, we don’t know if we’re going to get to insem in July either. The class I’m teaching ends July 13th. After that I’m planning on taking a trip to NC to try to interview for some jobs and find a place to live. R is almost out of vacation time and wants to save some for the move so she doesn’t think she can get off of work for the long weekend. She should O around the 19th so that weekend would be too early anyway.  I’m hoping to find a job and then come back and help R pack. Once the movers show up (oh how I love that word, we’ve moved 7 times together and never had movers) R & I will head to NC and stay with my family until our stuff gets delivered. We’re hoping that I can find a job and a place to live in time for us to try again in August.

I don’t normally post these

I do have an online quiz problem. I can’t keep away from them when I’m procrastinating. I haven’t ever posted the results from one of them, but I couldn’t resist this one.

Your Score: Si

You scored 42 Mass, 64 Electronegativity, and 6 Abundance.

Yes, I’m a dork. I’ve confirmed what R has always told me with countless online quizzes.

Oh yeah, I have internet access again. The rest of the neighborhood had their cable fixed Tuesday. I was talking to my neighbor and she said that hers was working again. I called C0mcast to see why my cable wasn’t on. The problem: I owed them $7.02. Apparently sometime around thesis defense/finals/graduation my cable bill went up. I have all of my bills that are the same amount each month set up with Billpay to send a check for the same amount every month. In the craziness that was April and May I missed the letter about the increase and they never sent a letter to let me know that I still owed money. They turned off my premium services because of a past due balance of $7.02. To make matters worse there’s a $35 reconnection fee, a $4.95 fee for paying my bill over the phone and the DVR still isn’t working. GRRRRR!
