Open Alternative School is holding their annual Iron Kids Triathlon on May 11th. This is the main fundraiser for the school year. As many of you know, the budget crisis in California is hitting education extremely hard. Most publicly funded schools have had their Music, Art, Theater and Nutrition programs cut drastically. OAS is no different in that aspect, but how it IS different is what they have a group of dedicated parents who strive to raise funds to keep our Music, Art, Theater and Nutrition programs alive! OAS also has amazing supporters

OAS’ goal this year is to raise $36,000. I just want to take a moment to show you what OAS will lose if we don’t make the goal. (more…)

When I was a hardcore raider we had something called Sexual Harassment Tuesdays. Any and everything we talked about in raid that day turned into a sexual innuendo. It was funny, and sometimes got out of line, a lot of time was spent looking up terms that were said. Snarling Dragon? Yah, don’t do it.

In honor of that I bring you my own personal sexual harassment in which I post images, screenshots, convos of the multitude of classy guys who talk to me, or I’ve stumbled across on the internet.

At least he apologized. Riiiiiiiiiiight.

So if you have a awesome screen/iPhone shot of someone sexually harassing you or hell you sexually harassing someone else, send it my way: noel at noelove dot com. Looking forward to looking up new phrases on Urbandictionary.com

So many times in my life, I have started a ‘work out’ program only to be blindsided by pregnancy, too much sushi, copious amounts of beer or just plain laziness. I’d slip up one day and then just so upset that I’d say fuck it all and throw my whole work out program out the window and drown my sorrows in sourdough toast with real butter and Firestone Double Barrel Ale while listening to bassdrive.com and playing WoW.

Needless to say, this has packed on a little extra weight on my medium size frame. I am 5’7″ and #(*$YFGH(#R pounds. I care about my height but not the weight lets say. I’ve been pregnant or recovering from pregnancy a total amount of almost 2.5 years in the last 6 and a half years. That’s right. I give birth every three years or so. If you have a functioning penis, please stay the fuck away from me from November 2011 through January 2012. Thanks.

My point! Even though I don’t think I could be on the biggest loser for the work I’ve done the last three months, I have to say that I feel pretty damn amazing. Even though the numbers on the scale and the tape measure aren’t moving at the speed of a bullet train, I am still happy with my results.

Something that can’t be measured is the way I feel about myself. The respect that I have for my body for birthing three children, two naturally and still loving my curves, albiet changed curves. I won’t look like I did before kids, and I’m totally alright with that. All the work I’ve done the last three months has been great. I have so much more energy, I’m running on the treadmill for longer periods than I ever though possible.

I have more patience for my children and the world around me. I am holding my head high when I’m out, and granted I don’t turn as many heads as I used to before kids, I’m ok with that too, because when the ones who do look, or try and catch my eye, I know its because they see this confidence, this little sparkle and not just some hot body with a nice pair of tits. They see substance, and that can’t be measured with a tape.

Could you please stop with the bad timing of things? I’d really appreciate it. First you did that one thing with Georgia, then you showed me that Joe person, and then you brought back someone who I adored and got married without consulting me first. Really. How fair is that? AND THEN there is the one who lives far away.

And I realize that you move people out of my way, or make them unattainable because you have someone epic in store for me. And yes, I am growing a little impatient with waiting, but I’ll keep doing it.

Love,
Me

(This post brought to you by the letters F and U, as well as the words timing, Georgia, exboyfriends, and marriage. And lastly the phrases ‘taking out the garbage’, ‘you’re a mother fucking dumbass’, and ‘I am completely irresistible when I want to be, you would have been mine.’)
