who needs a man??

i sure don't! i feel so damn accomplished right now--despite the mistakes that i refuse to fix.

i put together my bedframe--ALL BY MYSELF. well. with joy's hand once to hold something in place while i screwed it in. hehe.

but other than that--ALL BY MYSELF.

NO MAN.

which is, of course, the point.

it looks pretty darn good too. i did make a couple of mistakes. the bottom two legs are facing the wrong way--but i can live with seeing 2 screw holes. it will remind me that I DID IT WITHOUT A MAN.

while some people might think--she's making a rather big deal about putting together a bedframe...let me explain why this is so monumental for me.

1. remember back in high school? sophomore year, i think? when we had to do that silly asvab test for the military? remember how there was a mechanical knowledge section and an electronic knowledge section as well? other sections included word knowledge, coding speed, etc. well. i scored a 99 percentile in coding speed and word knowledge, etc. but here's something i have kept a secret for many years except to a select few...

i scored an 11 for the mechanical knowledge. ELEVEN (11)--just in case anyone missed that the first time. they even showed how many questions you got wrong. I GOT ONLY ONE QUESTION CORRECT IN THAT SECTION. ONE (1). they even told you which one you got correct. i can't even be proud of that one correct answer--because i just happened to guess correctly. i still to this day, remember the question. it was the first question in that section and it asked, "what does a phillips screwdriver head look like?" i had no effin clue. i just guessed correctly.

2. stereotypically women aren't known to be great in this area--and unfortunately, thanks to my lack of interest--i fit that mold.

so. this is why i feel so great about my bedframe. if i can put together a bedframe. i sure as hell can rule the world! hah!

for people that believe in the palin hype that she helped cut taxes in alaska, etc. THERE ARE NO TAXES IN ALASKA. there weren't any taxes there even before she got there. god. so they are just blatantly lying all over the place. surprise, surprise.

also--she was able to give $1200 rebates to the residents from the oil companies. whooptidoo--what is a few thousand dollars to oil companies when you tell them you will let them drill in anwar??? hmm...billions of dollars soon for a few thousand dollars now? god.
