Searching for satire, one irritation at a time

Hi guys... new here. I've been in a really sour mood here lately. I am hoping I will feel better soon. Looking for a job in winter is like looking for chest hairs at a bodybuilding competition. They've all been taken for no good reason and by some one other than me. Not that I need more chest hair. As a female in this culture, the rules seem rather vague these days but I'm pretty sure it is frowned upon. I love kurt vonnegut and am hoping that one day, a million years from now I guess, I will be able to channel his style and morph it into something that becomes my own. Though I love satire and strange humor, I'm not usually crabby. I myself, unlike my mentor, do not curse, and am highly aware of immorality. I'm 21, married to a bodybuilder, which is humorous in itself, and basically a jobless loser in hopes of doing something with my life that is worth... well, you know, a gold star on my report card of life. I am a rather spiritual person, but then again isn't every one? I hope to meet great people via thisa here postin whopper doo and am very much in need of people who speak my language. Not English, purely satire and funky poddlie doo. Later Tators, may your days be blessed and void of reality television shows.

eh? what?

My hubby... a loser? NO WAY! I love the guy, I always just laugh because he's a body buiding trekky and I am a somewhat satirical writer type... we are oddly paired. Mua ah ah ahhhh. Later!

oh, indeed, I am horrible. The name comes from this movie I saw in which a teacher was trying to teach these kids literature and grammar and what have you, but the book they were assigned to read by the last teacher was called "my darling, my hamburger" I found it a hilarious title, and since vonnegut is my most darling, if that is a good word which it isn't, then I guess he is my hamburger as well. He is meaty and I do tend to enjoy him sided with fries. Bye for now.

Great to have you in the forums! I enjoy satire too so I can't wait to read some of your work.. If it's good. Better not let Farror catch you using the same avatar as him... Just kidding Besides If he does try to do something about it you can just get your husband to beat him up (he's kinda scrawny) Anyway, just to restate the obvious, welcome to the forums!
