Quilt Square Nine: Gesticulate, Dreyfuss, Fallon, & Omnicide!

why is google dumb? or a more specific question, when i search for anything that takes intelligence (it matters not the search engine), i get gobbledygook in return for my inquiry?

for example, richard dreyfuss & i use our hands & arms when speaking. i couldn't remember the term for this, so i googled, "what is the term for talking with one's hands?" in return i received pages of "why do we talk with our hands?," "the science behind talking with our hands?," & many other similar suggestions.

i found it was faster to back to the episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, with mr. dreyfuss as a guest, on Hulu, turn on the closed captioning (praying that they got the word correct), & find the answer that way. There it was, much to my surprise & relief.

i am frustrated that the algorithm for finding things isn't as sophisticated as it was in the 1980s & well into the 2000s. i am disappointed that folks don't need to learn to communicate &/or expand their minds any longer. it seems that everything in america is so dumbed-down that those of us w/above average & higher intelligence have to rummage through rubbish to maybe/or not get sophisticated answers.

i use the oxford dictionary because they don't just accept words willy-nilly, & i use the oxford comma when i write (you know, for when you would actually pause when speaking aloud to tell the reader that it's not, absolutely not, just a babbling rant). grrr!

i wish you all peace, love, & joy as i commiserate by consuming an entire pound of sugar snap peas & a marathon of jimmy fallon & saturday night live. at least they can hold my attention & are clever AND funny. GAWD! there is a reason that OMNICIDE (which my laptop tells me is the wrong way to spell "homicide"-- not the word i want, folks!--INFURIATING! trust me when i say "omnicide").is my favorite word this week. grrrrrrrrrr!!!! that is all. . .  till something else happens.

Quilt Square Eight: so you want to be my friend, do you? do you really?!

being my friend is a challenge, both in real time & on social media, so I like to give it all to people up front. this has kinda become my one-minute commercial (like what one should have prepared for job interviews). it just makes eliminating the real people from the superficials (& the pickup-liners from the truly heartfelts).

are you sure you want to be my friend? i am a mess, not a hot mess, just a mess. i have major depressive disorder (MDD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from childhood trauma, & i suffer from severe & chronic panic attacks that can be debilitating. being my friend, even on FB is a challenge. oh, yeah, did i mention i am a comedienne? i know. how ironic, but fitting.

i no longer hold my tongue as i've finally found my megaphone. sex ain't my thing as it's always been obligatory. but, i still like to look & flirt. just know that that ain't a part of my life. i feel the same about exercise, too, even though i am studying to be a yogi at present.

i hold no religious ties, but i follow the teaching of christ (he said not to worship him, but to follow his example. so. . . naming a club after him seems like the ultimate form of worship to me) & honor pagan holidays & traditions (i do not participate in birthdays & commercial holidays as most of them glorify a person/people/group(s) of people). i do not worship the pagan gods & goddesses, but I follow their example of stewardship of the earth, herbs, & the healing magick of the latter.

i support our troops & our men in blue, but i will not honor the people that make them do such things. i am a believer that ALL life--from prostitutes. Prisoners,  & the homeless to the president of the united states—all life matters.

i feel compelled to let everyone know these things up front because most everyone that requests my friendship--online & in person--gets offended by me as I am an asshole, exhausted with me because of my disorders, or gets tired of me asking them why they think the way they do.

i may be a bit abrasive & come across as bossy, but i am loyal to those that are loyal. i will always be truthful, not matter what you ask, good, bad, or indifferent. i believe in swift justice, & i'll drop EVERYTHING to help those i love move, deal w/heartache, & celebrate! if i love you, i will try to do so without conditions. however, i am horrible secret keeper (not that i blab on purpose, just that if it comes up in a conversation i’ll use what i know as an example), so if it’s truly something you don’t want others to know DO NOT TELL ME.

if you truly think you can handle ALL of this, then, yeah. . . but think on it first. think about it. . . thoroughly.
