Alright, so I live in an area where there is a strip of grass between my house and the neighbors who live behind us. It's an area where people like to play with their dogs and let their kids run out and play.

Well the guy who lives behind us is always out there with his dogs tossing the ball, which is fine. Well today I caught him hopping our fence, that stands at a whopping four feet >.>, to get a stray ball.

I am fiercely territorial so I immediately opened my window and told him, " Hey! Don't come into my back yard. If you need a ball back come to the front door and ask, but I don't want you on my lawn."

He gave me a nonchalant ' piss off', " Yeah." and went on about playing with his dog. I take it by his tone that he's done this before and sees no problem with it.

Good news is that if he's on my property I have the right to shoot. And we have guns.

Okay, so this morning I woke up and hoped on DA and in my note box were two letters from DA officials.

My first fear was I violated some crude conduct rule. They reported that my comic amberisms- absorbent [link] was placed in the wrong category and moved it from storybooks to strips.

Now I've always put my comics in storybooks instead of strips... all 200 of them.

And recently I got ANOTHER note saying the same about amberisms- sociopath [link]

So if they plan to relocate all my amberisms, they have a large project on there hands.

I'm not offended and I don't say this with intent to offend the admin, but... I'm actually very amused by this. XD

There's a TV movie called Sex, Lies and Obsession which tells a story of a man as he struggles with his sexual addiction.

He battles between loving his wife and needing constant sex with strangers, video taping his encounters, prostitutes, kept women and porn to make it through the day. As a respected doctor with two sons he's not sure why he is the way he is.

Now I've done research on sexual addictions and even talked about it with people I know who have experienced or married the people with this disorder. Commonly, this disorder stems from some childhood abuse which leads to an early curiosity about sex and feeling that sex is the only way to connect with someone. In the case with women they believe they'll find love through sex and leap from man to man. In the case of a men, he thinks he'll find understanding and relief.

But sex addicts rarely enjoy sex, sometimes not even on a physical level.

As I watch this movie I get twisted with sympathy and anger. On one hand you hate him for all he's done and the other you understand that an uncontrollable incident occurred when he was young that he could not control.

Please don't jump up and hit your significant other for looking at porn once and a great while when you're not there and they need relief, it's not the same thing. Only when this need and/or action takes place and gets in the way of everyday life is it considered an addiction. However if it bothers you that they look 'too often', let them know for relationship purposes. (I myself actually stopped viewing porn to show respect for my boyfriend, and cause I love him.)

Dunno why I needed to write this, I was just over welded with emotion from this film. But now you know stuff!

I ask you a question about yourself on the bottom so this post isn't as boring at you may think it is. ^_^

Alrighty then, so I was in Ethics class, ironically, and I happen to sit in the back row with two other people. In front of us is a table where two more people sit.

Now, the girl that sits on the end of my table is rather short and the fellow sitting in front of her looks to be 29 and has a rather large cranium. Now, she has sat in this seat since class has first started up 8 weeks ago and it always seems that this guy sits in front of her.

This wouldn't be a problem if she couldn't see over or around him and the teacher is largely known for writing on the board. So last week she kindly asked him if he could move over one chair so she could see the board. He bluntly replied 'no' even though he would in no way be harmed or neglected seeing the board himself. She told me this today so I politely asked him if he could move over so that she could see. He reluctantly scooted over and made snippy comments under his breath, " Why does she sit in the back if she can't see? She's in my seat anyway."

Okay, firstly, we do not have assigned seats, secondly, she has sat in that spot 5 or 6 times, you have only done so twice in her absence and thirdly if that chair is so damned important to you then why don't you get to class earlier? Most importantly, why is it so important and upsetting to you?

If he's having such a temper tantrum over this you know it's rooted into a deeper issue that explains his unhealthy territorial problem. Not only that but he passive aggressively scooted back over into her view over the course of the class as if he wasn't aware of it.

Now the argument is this. Rights vs. Manners.

He feels like he has a right to that chair because he likes it and claims it is his although he's made no effort to trade off with her. And she (as do I) feel that manners are important and he is acting immaturely.

P.S.- I think theres a schizophrenic girl in on the computer in front of me.

So now that I've told my story, what about you guys? What sort of similar situations have you been in or know of?

This is the best video I think I've ever seen on how to explain pregnancy. It is hilarious!
