			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://katieschwartz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/bad-ass1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1532" title="Bad ass" src="http://katieschwartz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/bad-ass1.jpg" alt="" width="245" height="307" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">The non-sequitur post from <em>hell?</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Dish from my e-stalkers&#8230;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This, from Rylee: <em>My dad said mabey to the sleepover but u never no a mabey is a baby to grow up to be a yes!!!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Aside from the misspellings, among other things, I&#8217;m obsessed with the comment <em>maybe is a baby to grow up to be a yes</em>. Does this scream pregnancy pact, Lifetime Television for women to anyone else or is it just me?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Another email from Rylee: <em>Say hi to Josie and her dog noobie!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The dog has to be adopted; it simply can&#8217;t be a puppy. Otherwise, naming <em>shim</em> Noobie, lacks irony, and is misspelled. Although misspellings are common with Rylee, I take umbrage with Noobie, for some reason.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Rylee&#8217;s final email from last week: <em>Hey Katie I miss you sooooooo much even thow I get to see you 5 times a week for practicly 1 whole year! IÂ  think that is more times than I get to see Josie and that&#8217;s allot because after for the grade we still have a nother whole year to gow because we still have fith grade! And your not moving because you just did! Love, lol baybay &#8211; wait I don&#8217;t think that makes since</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For once, Rylee is correct!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Reasoning with her at this point in our e-stalking relationship is moot. Though, I appreciate her commitment to weekly e-stalkage. Fortunately, she doesn&#8217;t have my mailing address.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Ryleee feels so very magazine-cut-outs-of-letters-sent-on-pink-paper-sprayed-with-Anais-Anais perfume. <em>Right?! </em>Having my olfactory&#8217;s desecrated at this stage in our relationship is a boundary I&#8217;m not ready to travel with her.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">New Day Nazarene Church invited me to an Easter service with a FREE (all caps) continental breakfast. Shouldn&#8217;t the fear of God be enough?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Someone kindly ordered a <em>Tommy Bahama &#8211; Swimsuit, Palm Print Halter On,</em> with my email address. I question the <em>on</em>. Isn&#8217;t that redundant?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>A few weeks ago&#8230;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Once every 6 months, my sister and I have dinner withÂ <em>Butter</em>. We made a pact never to go without each other. <em>Butter</em><em> </em><em> </em>is an obstinateÂ handful. We coined her <em>Butter </em>because she does butter shooters out of ramekins, in public. Call me crazy, but shouldn&#8217;t some food addictions remain in the closet?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Imagine, if you will, a 35-year-old, opinionated, uneducated, racist, homophobic, republican sundial. Her legs, stumps really, buckling from encumbering poundage. Wearing a fluorescent green mini dress, drag-queen hosiery scrunching around her knees and beige walking shoes,Â <em>very Florida-shuffle-board-at-the-clubhouse</em>. She is the authority on everything. <em>For reals!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Dinner was, as you can imagine, hell. I wanted to spit twice and die. <em>Butter&#8217;s</em><em> </em><em> </em>boyfriend, coined FREAKO, is a girl&#8217;s dream come true. He&#8217;s a gaming addict, still married, doesn&#8217;t work and lives with his mother. He&#8217;s never met a fingernail clipper, much less a cleaner. In fact, his French Tips are the contents of eons old jet black dirt. <em>Hot, right?!</em><em> </em><em> </em>He&#8217;s a miserable son of a bitch. She is his massive ass in shining armor. In reciprocity, he gifted her with multiple STD&#8217;s. <em>What a guy</em>.</p>

<p>Whether I&#8217;m in a conversation or happen to be eavesdropping, a favorite past time. If done correctly, it&#8217;s exceptional cardio. I&#8217;ve leaned so far that I&#8217;ve fallen out of chairse stretching my legs, neck and arms enough to pull muscles.</p>
<p>I have noticed that everyone has a <em>guy </em>for a <em>thing</em>, whatever that thing is, have you?</p>
<ol>
<li>I need someone to install my hardwood floors. I&#8217;ve got a guy for that.</li>
<li>I&#8217;m looking for someone to fix my hairdryer. My guy is great, cheap and quick.</li>
<li>My sunroof isn&#8217;t closing properly. Hire my guy, he&#8217;s the best.</li>
<li>I need my vibrator repaired. If you don&#8217;t want to buy a new one, my guy can do it. If you let him watch, he won&#8217;t charge you.</li>
<li>Oh shit, I ran out of cash and need menstrual pads. My guy will walk around with snatchpads (towels) between your legs for 7-days; he&#8217;s super easy going and has a menses fetish.</li>
<li>I don&#8217;t feel like going super big potty right now. Pulling down my pants, undies; it all seems too daunting. Plus, the seat is cold and I don&#8217;t feel like having <em>chilled ass</em> at the minee. My guy has this shit laser transformer thing, it&#8217;s so cool! He basically points it at your intestines and teleports the shit from you to himself. The best part is that you feel NOTHING. Isn&#8217;t that great?! Love him total shit-meister.</li>
<li>I need to have my gall bladder removed, but I so can&#8217;t be bothered. My insurance sucks ass. They&#8217;ll cover <em>maybe </em>20%, if I get my MD to sign a 20-page document and my upper GI guy to sign a 10-page document and fax it all to Agent 5608983719042 on February 12<sup>th</sup> @ 3:07 PM. OMG, my guy LOVES Jello. Wait for it do you need a guy to be your MD/GI guy? I have one.</li>
</ol>
<p>Who is your guy and what can he do for me?</p>
