Over Our Heads: Freud's structural theory

Freud's structural theory

I've seen everyone else do this on their blogs and I wanted to see who I looked like too! The only problem was it was really hard to find a picture that was mostly front facing, so I had to use this weird one. It's all orangey and it was a picture someone took when I wasn't even looking, but it's the best I could do. Anyways, everyone should try it out, it's pretty fun. Try a couple different pictures if you have them because you can get different results.




Now, I just want to take a moment to complain. Some women who have children, particularly the ones in their 20s who are new mothers think the world revolves around them. Yes I may be single, does that mean I'm not entitled to my opinion? I'm not spouting opinions about any of these people. My opinion that I voiced today was a very simple, small, completely non-offensive, opinion. But some girls that think they're an expert because they've had a baby for three weeks will automatically discount my opinions because I don't have a kid. Instead they will condescend to me. I'm pretty sure my opinions aren't going to magically change when I have a kid. So if I hear the phrase, "Obviously you don't have kids" once more, I don't know what I'll do. I'll not like it, that's what I'll do. Frankly with these particular women I'd much rather be single than have made their choices and be living their lives. OKAY??? That's all I have to really say about that.


Tonight I did quite a few things, but one thing I did was watch a movie called, "The Illusionist". I feel prompted to pen a movie review haiku: (*SPOILER ALERT* Kind of. Sorry, I didn't warn last time and I got a complaint!)

Magician he is
Amazing tricks, I gasp
Unbelievable

Eisenheim was cool
Real magic, or illusion
Must be a genius

The crown-prince is bad
Got drunk and became violent
Then justice was served

Jessica Biehl too
Childhood friend, not too shabby
She was pretty smart

And Edward Norton
He has intense, crazy eyes
Had everyone fooled

Paul Giamatti
Looked like Sigmund Freud in this
Used Super-ego

Get ready for shock
This movie will surprise you
I say two thumbs up


Watch this it's hilarious:




And now for more Halloween de-sensitization, take a look at the picture below (If you dare!). I made it really small so it wouldn't instantly kill you. Her known powers are the ability to eject rhetoric at any moment and being able to contort her face in a million ways, each one more frightening than the next. Keep your children indoors! And don't stare too long, or YOUR face might freeze that way!

I hate the "obviously you don't have kids" comment too. What is that suppose to even mean?
What I hate even more are those who say "You don't have any kids?" And then look at me like they really feel sorry for me because I must have some medical condition. As far as I know I am perfectly capable of having kids I just didn't want any. There are kids in my family and I love them dearly, but I also am always very happy to give them back to their mother.

As a dating, but childless woman, I am right there with you. You get the looks of disapproval if you dont know what a diaper genie is. And all the pressure to "hold the baby! hold the baby! i cant believe you dont want to hold the baby?!" It is like an episode of seinfeld or something...

I've seen that video before. Awesome.

I was expecting much more from The Illusionist, but still liked it. Next up: The Prestige! Looking forward to that one.

I heart the haikus. You can be my movie reviewer any time.

I actually wasn't able to view that video before. I just did. OH MY, that is blasted funny.

Also, I tried the photo thing. I can't believe you got a 90% match. I tried several and didn't get out of the 70s. You do look a bit like Miss Kim Bauer--only way smarter and a better dresser.

I'll post my results shortly.

I think that unique photo ended up working in your favor. Every girl on there is hot, and posing in a brooding "blonde hair in the face but I look hot anyway" sort of pose. And mine told me I looked like Lance Bass.

I know I'm a little biehind, but that video was hilarious! I was laughing so loud, I attracted spectators a few cubicle's over.

obvioulsy having children does not make you an expert on anything. Going through child birth doesnt even make you qualified to take care of kids.

Anyway that is one funny video is it from reno 911?

Hillary is EVIL!

Aww! You guys are so supportive! I've found a way to curb those comments at work though. You simply wait until the subject of children comes up, as it will every 10 minutes or so, and then you ask a question. The dumber the question the better. Then all the girls with kids will feel that they have to impart their knowledge to you since you are so oblivious, and it makes them feel smart and it also makes them feel like you think they are smart. Anyways, it's worked for me.

I'm not sure where the video is from, I can find out. I love the part at the end when the guy realizes he's just admitted he's drunk after all that.

I meant to answer this sooner but my computer at home is down because the house is being remodeled, and I don't like to blog at work. Mostly because I have a mental image of a group of nerdy IT guys gathered around looking at the things I'm doing. So I'm on hiatus for now. :0)
