Sometimes I wonder what is going through the minds of my dog. This may in fact be one of them... Just sayin...

Here's a thing to think about: If you want to try and do your bit for the world and live a bit more aware of the ecological impact you have on the world, how far should you take it: Do you let slugs live in your garden to eat all your food? Do you kill mosquitoes that suck your blood? Do you let nits live in your hair, because if they make their home in it, that's where they want to live? Do you take a milder stance and try to rehome them: Collect and leave your slugs elsewhere so they annoy someone else? Try and catch mosquitoes to put them outside? (good luck!) Removing your lice/nits and find a different home for them? Or do you just say fuck it and poison them all?

So...this time last year I was REALLY sick ringing into the new year. Not a great start, but I guess the year didn't turn out half bad, for me. And, 2015 didn't necessarily turn out how I expected it to, in so many ways. For my personal life, or in the world. So...here's a few predictions I have for 2016, keeping in mind that I'm likely to be completely and utterly wrong: Election-wise: 1)Trump will go down in flames during the primaries, if by him finally managing to alienate his base, or by his supporters not actually showing up to the polls. 2)Ted Cruz will get the Republican nomination 3)Hillary Clinton will get the Democratic nomination (Sorry Bernie) 4)Barring any scandals, Hillary will win the general election. But maybe not by a particularly large margin 5)Republicans will not lose control of congress. Duggars: I correctly predicted last year that something would happen with the Duggars, didn't think it would be the molestation thing, which really upset me. Joshley Madison was less surprising, and actually quite funny. 1) If When Josh goes back to Anna, he will probably continue to (attempt to) cheat. Or at least look at porn. 2) Another secret will be exposed, this time centered on JB or JChelle (although I think Joshgate 1 did not paint them in a flattering light) 3)Someone else will end up in a conveniently timed courtship 4)Someone (Jessa most likely) will conveniently do something that indicates they are inching toward fundie lite. 5)Jessa will be no better at mothering than Jill Other: 1)Bill Cosby will be acquitted of the sexual assault charge, but it will be a pyrrhic victory 2)One of the Kardashians/Jenners (other than caitlyn) will get into trouble with the law 3)Meghan Trainor will continue to put out stupid faux-feminist bullshit music. Or will hopefully fade into obscurity 4)I refuse to believe that flares are going to replace skinny jeans. No. skinny jeans 4ever. 5)Wearing all black will still be cute. 6)LUSH will release those new flavors of lip balm in the US. Happy New Year, everyone!

" 'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt." --Abraham Lincoln Excellent advice that I've rarely been able to follow. I lurked on FJ and promised myself I didn't need to be able to post. And here I am: posting, updating my status, commenting on blogs, and now starting my own. What am I thinking? (Sarcastic smile.) Here's one I used to write in the front of my notebooks in college, especially for the classes with lots of papers to write: "Originality does not consist in saying what no one has ever said before, but in saying exactly what you think yourself." --James Stephen
