msmoon | Working up the Gumption (Reply)

I’ve been taking long sabbaticals from LJ land, haven’t I? I just can’t seem to force myself to write a post. For one, it’s aggravating to try it at the house (our AOL dial up connection moves at the speed of a wounded snail), and at work I am…well, generally busy working. My lunch breaks are spent checking mail, reading and day dreaming over my meal. Either way, I never have time to write much less post. Or maybe I'm just lazy...or lazier than usual ^..^

I have been writing more at my house concerning my original story. It’s somewhat cool to turn off my TV and all the lights down stairs, hike upstairs, plug in my fan, put on some music and just write. Especially when I actually have new ideas. I still have quite a bit of work to do, beings as mostly the ideas I have don’t come to me in sequential order and I’d be a fool not to write some of them out before I loose them. But, progress is progress…right?

Plenty of stuff has been happening in my house, it’s just that most of it is mundane stuff but since it’s a first for me I find it interesting. I did an absolute, thorough clean on my house this past weekend along with going grocery shopping for the first time, which I found oddly invigorating. For one, I don’t really have to worry about sweeping (which was a serious pain in my ass…and back) with Harvey (my new Roomba ^..^). I just charge him up, make sure there’s no clutter on the floor and then tell him to clean, and I’m good. I was very surprised when my Dad paid for my groceries O..o’ It allowed me to purchase my Computer Desk. That means I’m a step closer to having my computer in my computer/library room. That’s a big plus.

Last Friday, I finally managed to send my Twin-san her birthday gift, in hopes that she would receive it today. I don’t think anyone knows the pride I put into my gifts. I just love the wrapping and presenting about as much as I love picking out the gifts. Anyway, according to UPS, she should get it today…if not, then they’re haters. I can’t wait to hear what she thinks of it. I still haven’t heard from Chibi about her birthday present.

At some point...I don’t remember exactly when, I joined my cousin’s forum. Just for the fun of it. So now, not only to I manage my own “Friends Only” forum (which is slowly dying), but I’m a part of a Fable based forum. Don’t ask me what possessed me to join. Maybe I just got tired of hearing about all these people on the forum that Scamp kept telling me about, and wanted to see for myself. Who knows.

Oh, I finally got Transformers in yesterday. I was very happy about that, and I watched as much bonus stuff as I could before Heroes came on. I’ve watched all of the bonus stuff now, and when Dad came over for a cup of coffee this morning, I showed him the beginning. The part where Blackout (Badass) is attacking that military base, then I just stopped it in hopes the suspense would make him want to continue watching. Being the old fashion type he is, he has not even heard of Transformers (toys, show, movie or otherwise). I’m hoping that some time this week we can all bunker down at my house and watch it together.

We had an absolute deluge yesterday...all day long. It did not stop raining all day long. We were under a constant flood watch and at times we were even under tornado watches. Driving home, I swear that I did not go over 45 MPH. Most of the way, I was going a steady 35-40, and everyone else was keeping pace with me. I counted 3 accidents all over town too. The flooding was pretty bad in the streets, but I was just grateful that everyone else was taking it as seriously. I have to admit though…I do love that type of weather, so I wasn’t terribly put out by it. It just aggravates me when people do stupid things at such times. Oh, and another thing I learned about my house is that when there’s constant raining out, the bath tub does not drain quite as quickly as normal.

On a completely random tangent, I was very upset to find that O-Zone’s Numa Numa song is no where to be found on Yahoo music. Since I realized I could listen for free, I’ve been doing a lot of rating and listening to my own station (which is just as random and eclectic as me), but the only O-zone song they have is Ma Ya Hi in English….I want the original version in it’s original language. Is that too much to ask? Not that it stops me from singing along when the English version pops up mind you. But still.

And with that, I must end my lunch break. I shall check in whenever I can. Later, Sunshines.

You got a

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Lunchbox!
