I’m not sure what it says about me that my favourite websites are all about mocking other people.  Well, scratch that.  I’m entirely certain what it says about me, but I’m not going to say it out loud.

My new favourite site, Cake Wrecks was brought to my attention by a Facebook friend, and the first time I went there, I spent no less than two hours with tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard.  Although it wasn’t how I’d planned to spend my day off, it was worth it.  It’s the only site I’ve found which has the words “perverted vegetable rodeo” on it, which really is enough of a reason to love it right there.

This site is devoted to professionally created cakes that have gone horribly wrong.  Some are like the pic above, with a huge WTF factor, while others are full of funny misspellings or the baker writing the decorating instructions ON THE CAKE (as in “Happy Birthday - I Want Sprinkles”).

Another favourite site is Passive Agressive Notes, which is pretty self-explanatory, although you’d really have to see the site and dig around for a few minutes to understand why other people’s frustration is so funny.  This one is a combination of a crack-up and a scary vision into the demented minds of other people that makes you want to say something nice to all your coworkers just in case today is the day they show up with a nine mil.  Just sayin’.

One I ran across last year was Crummy Church Signs which I think might only be funny if you live in the South (USA) where people actually put up signs like this in front of churches.  My British husband doesn’t really get it.  Well, he gets the fact that the signs are mildly horrifying, but he doesn’t really get why people put the signs up in the first place.

If you know of a hilarious site along these lines, please share!

WARNING: If you are a man, a mommyblogger, and/or of delicate nature, you may wish to avert your eyes now. In fact, I’m even going to add a “more” tag to this, because I’d hate to think you got blindsided with details that might upset the balance of your life. I swore I’d never post about ooky things, like diapers and diarrhea, and as far as I’m concered, menstruation falls in the category of things we really don’t need to discuss, however after stumbling across a Mommyblog this weekend, I feel a serious rant burning a hole in my brain, so I’m breaking the rules. By the way, if you want to write me something hateful which I will most definitely ignore, please write to bitterwomen [at] bloggerbingo [dot] com.

DISCLAIMER: I’m sure there are a hecka-lotta intelligent mommybloggers out there. I have met a few, including AnEnglishMum , among others. If you are one and know some others, you could form a “I’m a Mommyblogger But Don’t Have My Head Up My Ass” club. If such a club already exists, please let me know, and I’ll give them a link.

So… click below if you want to read on from here….

Just a short post today, everyone!

Mike Thomas from BlogInterviewer.com wrote to me and asked me to submit an interview for Bitter Women. So you can read more facts about us if you like, although I have to warn you, I did try to play it straight a bit, since … well… since I’m basically a coward about being outrageous in public. :))

You can read the interview and even vote for our blog (either thumbs up or thumbs down kind of voting). He gives out some kind of prizes for the most popular blogs, but I’m not really holding out, since I have tried these types of competitions before, and I usually end up having to nominate myself , and I never get any votes. Haha… oh well.

However, I’m posting about this one because I’ve actually found some cool blogs featured over there, so you never know.. you might stumble across someone great in the pages of his blog.

P.S. I was going to post a rant today about Mommybloggers, but since I don’t want to offend half my 29-member readerbase, I am going to sleep on it. If good judgement doesn’t overcome me, watch this space for some first-class ranting tomorrow.

You all know by now what a stats-whore I am, and I installed feedburner on my blogs so I could see if anyone was actually reading. :)) Sure, it has features for you and such, but really this is all about me, right?

So a week later I find that I have 29 subscribers to Blogging for Bitter Women!

Twenty-nine!

Okay I realise that most bloggers have these little icons up saying they have a bazilliondy plus eleventy-five readers, but you must realise this is the biggest audience I’ve ever had, so twenty-nine is a fantabulous number. I couldn’t be happier!

Over the course of years, I’ve taught classes, given lectures (paid ones, not shake-your-finger-arent-you-a-bad-boy ones), been interviewed for tv and magazines… but none of those things was as satisfying as having twenty-nine people subscribe to Blogging for Bitter Women.

So lots of love going out now to those of you reading by readers! Oh, and if you get a chance to drop by, do! Just to see that I’ve pinkified the whole site. Yeah, it’s girlie. It’s bold and vibrant! (It was creeping me out when I found other sites using the exact same theme, so I decided to give it the Bitter Women treatment.)

Oh, and because this post wasn’t especially funny, and I feel an obligation to give my readers every opportunity for a good chuckle, I’ll send you to a site I found yesterday that was funny, scary, and downright addictive. Passive Aggressive Notes. I read one, and then another, and then all of a sudden an hour had gone by and I was deep into their archives. A truly hilarious look at humanity, and the goofy things we say to each other (without wanting a confrontation, of course :)) )

Don’t worry… by tomorrow the glow will have worn off, and I’ll have some more bitter thoughts for you.

Oh, and P.S.  If you want to join the Twenty-Nine, just click here to subscribe to our Bitter Feed!

Heather at The Wishful Writer tagged us with a meme, and considering how badly I flubbed it last time this happened (I didn’t know what they were :)) ) I’ve decided to do this one!

It involves listing 8 random facts about me.  After all, I know you guys can’t get enough me, right? 8-}

1. I make shit up.  All the time.  Like… I’m even making this up.
2. I sleep with a stuffed rabbit ( and a stuffed Scotsman. — and by this I mean he’s full of fraudulent votes.)
3. My son is smarter than I am.  But I’m sneakier than he is.
4. I have this PSP game that tests your brain age, and mine apparantly is 24, 13 years younger than my real age.  They say that younger is better, meaning you’re spry or some shit, but the side effect seems to be that I use the word “like” indiscriminately.  (See #1)
5. I don’t understand people who enjoy reality shows.  (But I wish I enjoyed reality shows, because I always feel like I’m missing something because of how enraptured other people get with them.)
6. I am a bad speller.  But I own a dictionary, so I can hide the shameful fact from the world.
7. I’ve been shocked and amazed by how many truly brilliant women there are out there blogging every day.  Before this, my experience of the internet was mostly of YouTube teens and netspeak nonsense.  Plus a bunch of crazy internet people that seem to find me wherever I land on the net.  Either that or there are millions of them.
8. I’m not really very bitter.  I just have a hard candy shell.

I’m supposed to tag other people, but for some reason hesitate to do so.  But I’d love to see what other people have to say about themselves, so please please if you’re a BFBW reader and you want to do this, please consider yourself tagged!
