Seven things - when was the last time you...?

1. Two nights ago, when I found out my publication was postponed. Before that, it had been like a month. That's a long time for me.

2. About five minutes ago, in response to a post by Miss Danger Jane.

3. I don't think I blush.

4. Um...like a month ago. Which is REALLY good for me.

5. Outloud? Last night. I've cursed on here more recently.

6. Today, when I got my full rejection.

7. Probably yesterday, to a few people here.

Oooh, good questions.

* wanders off to visit the politics thread where they have sex talk and angry security guards patting down the customers *

Cried? All last week. I've just started a new job teaching a high school Special Ed class and I've never seen such chaos as those first few days. I cried as I rode my bike home, I cried as I rode to work int he morning, I almost cried all day in school. I do think I've more or less got a handle on it all now, so next week should go better.

Laughed out loud? A few minutes ago. My son said something (I forget what) and we all cracked up.

Blushed? I dunno!!!

Lost your temper? Friday night. I had just gone through the week from hell at work and then my kids started bickering. I lost it.

Swore? Probably Friday night, but I'm not sure.

Felt proud of yourself? Friday evening. I had survived the week!

Confided in someone? I dunno. I don't keep many secrets, so there's nothing to confide!!

Cried? Two days ago, when I was tired and upset that no one was making an effort to understand that I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE THE BITCHY DAUGHTER.

Laughed out loud? Just now, at the Flaming Lips, because I love them so much it makes me laugh.

Blushed? Probably not since school was.

Lost your temper? Uh, like yesterday.

Swore? An hour ago I said motherfucker because I phailt at the impossible quiz, again.

Felt proud of yourself? Five o'clock today, looking over my work on my portrait of my friend Cameron.

Confided in someone? Today, about something bad that isn't about me but about someones who matter very much to me.

Cried?-- few days ago, because I found out my aunt & baby cousins were moving to NJ.

Laughed out loud?-- Couple minutes ago when my mom & I were making fun of my dad xD

Blushed?-- Uhm...whenever i look at this guy sean in my school xD

Lost your temper?-- With my sister at dinner like...3hours ago cuz she kept singing everything she was saying lmao

Swore?-- On the phone, 2 days ago.

Felt proud of yourself?-- When I found out i was being published about..a month or so ago.

Confided in someone?-- yesterday. my friend matt. Major awesomeness =]

HONORED

Cried? Yesterday; a friend of mine has cancer.

Laughed out loud? Today, reading a post on AW by someone who shall remain nameless, but whose name is most definitely not "Bob."

Blushed? About a week ago, with a post in the Family Album thread.

Lost your temper? Today, when my son got on my case for not recycling.

Swore? I honestly can't remember.

Felt proud of yourself? It's been awhile; I guess it was when I got some acceptances in the mail a few weeks back.

Confided in someone? A few days ago to two members of this forum, in fact.

Cried? Good cried -- Friday, reading something a friend had written and sent to me. It was beautiful. Bad cried -- Friday, when someone who is not supposed to call me a stunned bitch called me a stunned bitch. I'm not often weepy -- Friday made up for it.

Laughed out loud? Yesterday -- reading a pick-me-up kick in the ass PM from a friend, and today when I attacked my son with a paint brush while painting the barn

Blushed? Umm, I have to pull a political standard out of the hat -- I don't remember? Safe to say years (and years, and years, and years...)

Lost your temper? Friday, refer to question #1. Repeat two more times. Three strikes, you shout!!!

Swore? refer to #1, again.

Felt proud of yourself? refer to #3, again

Confided in someone? yesterday, resulting in said necessary ass-kicking

Great timing, SP. Now it really feels like its over and done with.

What is this? A Myspace survey?


Cried? Can't even remember.

Laughed out loud? Tonight while hanging out with my husband and a friend on the ship.

Blushed? Don't remember.

Lost your temper? It's been a looooooong time, but it probably involved either my in-laws or some type of shitty customer service.

Swore? About 2 seconds ago. Swearing is like breathing...I'm constantly doing it and not even realizing it.

Felt proud of yourself? This afternoon, when I concluded my 4th photo session of the day, and knew I had managed to get a decent number of useable pics of each of my 4 models. (My husband is jealous: He had to stay on the ship today, and I spent the day hanging out with models LOL)

Confided in someone? Oh hell, I don't know...a day or two? I'm always confiding in my husband about this or that.

Cried?
1989. I had to put my dog to sleep.

Laughed out loud?
Last night watching a comedy.

Blushed?
I blush all the time in public. I'm shy and self-conscious.

Lost your temper?
Last time my son was awake. So about an hour ago.

Swore?
See above.

Felt proud of yourself?
Can't remember. Been years, if ever.

Confided in someone?
1981. Last time I had a real friend.

Cried? - Watching that pug bowling video this morning. It made me miss my pug. She died a few years ago.

Laughed out loud? - A few minutes ago, putting my 6-year-old to bed. He's so cute.

Blushed? - August 24.

Lost your temper? - Moi?

Swore? - Discussing SIL's intractable problems with DH earlier today.

Felt proud of yourself? - I sewed the cutest curtain for DD's bedroom on Friday. I made it from a flat sheet that coordinates with her bedspread. I almost forgot that I knew how to sew.

Confided in someone? - Well I would have on the phone the other day with my friend from Alberta, Canada, but I couldn't get any fn privacy.

Cried?- Yesterday.

Laughed out loud?- A few moments ago.

Blushed?- Earlier today

Lost your temper?- Yesterday

Swore?- Um...30 seconds ago? I dunno. I'm not an angry person, but I swear a lot. I think it's because I grew up around all guys. My friends think it's cute because my husband doesn't swear, or sometimes when he's really emotional says "frickin'" and yet he married someone who curses like a sailor.

Felt proud of yourself?- A few minutes ago, when two people on AW said they're looking forward to seeing my novel in print.

Confided in someone?- Today. Everyday. My husband gets a dose of my secret dreams and insecurities on a daily basis. I think I have enough of both to take us through about 60 years of marriage.

Edit for Spooky's sake:

Sex- about 5 hours ago. LoL.

Cried? Hmmm...honestly can't remember. I'm not much of a crier.

Laughed out loud? A few minutes ago while reading a thread in the Politics forum

Blushed? Again, can't remember. I don't blush very often.

Lost your temper? Oh boy...I hope I can't remember because I don't do it very often. Probably the last time I worked.

Swore? The last time I spoke, I'm sure.

Felt proud of yourself? After I finished cleaning the garage today...it was a disaster!

Confided in someone? Yesterday, I think.

Cried? The other night, only it's hard cause I have dry eyes.

Laughed out loud? At the DOH moments I've been reading.

Blushed? When those DOH moments happen.

Lost your temper? Nope, I usually just get sad when I get angry.

Swore? More than once. Yep, honest.

Felt proud of yourself? When I get my work published.

Confided in someone? Today, with my friends on this forum.

Cried? Just now, working on my novel. I killed a favorite. It was sad.

Laughed out loud? Today, with Finn. Everyday, with Finn.

Blushed? Unfortunately, my heart is on my sleeve. I blush a lot. I'm sure I did it sometime today.

Lost your temper? Friday.

Swore? Today, when I was mimicking Serena Williams calling her sister a bitch a few years ago during a match. This will be the last time a swear in a long time, considering Finn repeated me within seconds...

Felt proud of yourself? Tonight, after writing.

Confided in someone? Outside of my husband? I can't remember. How awful is that?

Cried - 2 days ago when I decided I was a bad Mother.

Laughed out loud - last night, because my husband is so funny!

Blushed - can't remember. I don't think I do anymore.

Lost my temper - Yesterday. It's hard having a feral 3 year old.

Swore - as above.

Felt proud of myself - So far today, as we've got more than halfway through the day without me losing my temper!

Confided in someone - I'm not big on confiding.

Cried? Last week late at night in bed, when I let myself think we could actually lose our foster son that we've had for almost two years.

Laughed out loud? Tonight watching House on dvd.

Blushed? At the movie theater tonight watching Halloween when my husband took the piece of paper out of my hand I was hiding. It was a beat sheet from Save The Cat! I wanted to see if the movie followed it.

Lost your temper? Yesterday before we went on a day trip so I could take pics for a story. It was my husband's turn to sleep in and he slept til 1pm! I was in a hurry to go on our little trip and a little annoyed he slept so long.

Swore? Said F*ck today when a bee flew in the car. Well, almost flew in. I think my swearing scared it off.

Felt proud of yourself? Tonight my husband said I couldn't count from 1 to 100 in one breath, and I did. Don't ask.

Confided in someone? Today with my husband.

Cried? Can't recall.

Laughed out loud? Can't recall.

Blushed? Can't recall.

Lost your temper? Can't recall.

Swore? Can't recall.

Felt proud of yourself? Can't recall.

Confided in someone? Can't recall.

What are the questions again?

Cried? About a week ago. I'm a real blubberer, things that upset me on news etc.

Laughed out loud? Must be really recent. I laugh a lot.

Blushed? Men don't friggin' blush! Beautiful submissive little fems blush as they say "Please Sir!" Not men for chrissake!

Lost your temper? Weekend. Can't remember why.

Swore? I hate to admit it but my mouth is a cesspit. Would have been several times today.

Felt proud of yourself? Something someone said within the last day.

Confided in someone? Within last day or two to friend online.
