True Internet Dork Mom Confessions
Ripped from the headlines actual idle timewasting IM conversations between myself and Kelly (aka kdiddy) earlier this evening:
kdiddy: i told K to put the silverware away from the dishwasher and then disappeared to my bedroom
kdiddy: as soon as he's tall enough to take over dishwasher duty IT'S SO ON
sweetney: yes, hide in the bedroom. i on the other hand am puke bowl holder and i cannot hide
kdiddy: auuugghgh
kdiddy: M is puking?
sweetney: LOTS. TORRENTS.
kdiddy: SUCK
kdiddy: what the hell?
sweetney: waaaah
kdiddy: too much awesome sauce?
sweetney: HA
sweetney: very NOT awesome sauce
kdiddy: i'm sorry dude
kdiddy: uh, not to pile on more suck but i think mayhaps your site is not well
sweetney: what is it doing?
kdiddy: nothing. like there's no text.
sweetney: arrgh
[*brief site fixin' break*]
sweetney: whew, thanks for telling me.
kdiddy: word
kdiddy: yes. is all better now
kdiddy: thanks for getting right on that. i had urgent sweetney.com needs
sweetney: har
kdiddy: not really. i just ran out of things in google reader and started loitering
sweetney: blog loitering. that's awesome
kdiddy: yeah. in the alley of sweetney.com i smoke cigarettes and make out with my boyfriends
sweetney: frankly i like to think of sweetney.com as a place to hang for internet burnout moms
kdiddy: yeah. and we smoke cigarettes and make out with our boyfriends
sweetney: YEAH! YEAH!
kdiddy: ack! it's after 9pm. i'll be back in a bit. K needs to take 16 different anti-psychotic meds so he'll stop with all of that talking and shit
kdiddy: and then go to bed
sweetney: what, no beating tonight?
sweetney: DON'T FORGET THE BEATING!
kdiddy: yeah. after i do some drugs too so it's a fair fight
Awesomeness: you're soaking in it.
PS: Dudes, The Washington Post! Seriously!
PPS: Over the past 24 hours Sweetney has been getting a much needed shoring-up, tuning-up, and all-around upgrading, thanks to Jonathan from FM. I mention this only because you might notice some mild site wonkiness temporarily. All part of making Sweetney better than before: Better, stronger, faster.

Hey- Washington Post! With Juniper! Truman's gonna take over the world.
Posted by: mj | January 10, 2008 at 01:38 PM
I knew I liked you for a reason.
And can I vote for Truman in the primaries? Tell him to make his way to CNN...

This whole post (including screenclean) was AWESOME.
Posted by: BaltimoreGal | January 10, 2008 at 04:16 PM
flattery will get you guys everywhere. including in my pants.
internet burnout moms are easy.
Posted by: sweetney | January 10, 2008 at 04:27 PM
I love the article. I work for an IP law firm so this is my bread and butter. So far I've only posted a couple of pictures, none as theft-worthy as Truman.

WP: "extreme mooning."
Is that what I think it is?
Posted by: sween | January 10, 2008 at 05:36 PM
Dudes, you're not going to get anywhere with beatings. It's gotta be whoopins.
Posted by: angela | January 10, 2008 at 07:19 PM
That comment wasn't really so amusing or important as to warrant being read twice. Sorry, everyone. I got overzealous with the refresh.
Posted by: angela | January 10, 2008 at 07:23 PM
angela: no worries, is part of the ongoing site issues we're working to repair.
i am pro use of the term "whoopins", though you must admit "COMMENCE WITH THE BEATINGS" does have a sort of regal, authoritative air about it.

I cannot imagine that in any stretch of the imagination, Babble ever thought they'd be equated to Fox.
WTG Truman's mama.

I believe it was Bill Cosby who said, "AND NOW THE BEATINGS WILL BEGIN!"

Congrats on the new server. May it be swift and bandwidth wide.

:lol: at the IM conversation.
Dude!! You're famous.
Posted by: Maria | January 11, 2008 at 11:29 AM
Dude... that was greatness. I love that I don't have to pretend to not be a slacker/ burnout mom around here! No cigarettes for me, but bring on the wine! (Or gin... whatevah).
Posted by: Katie Kat | January 11, 2008 at 12:51 PM
"burnout" doesn't necessarily mean smoking. but slacking? yes, that's something of a requirement ;)
