That said, today wasn't that bad. It wasn't good, and I don't look forward to repeating it ever again, but it wasn't as bad as yesterday. But then... yesterday we were expecting a lot out of this place, and were unpleasantly surprised with how terrible it was. Today, all we did was hang about in mingle. There were a few interruptions to our own distractions (jumping rope, jaunts around the place, family photos and hoola-hooping, which reminded me of Scamp), but over all, it was just folks talking and having fun with each other.... them as could that is. My Uncle Buddy is known for being a stick in the mud, and he did not disappoint at this gathering either. But he had a bunk... so he confined himself there and left the rest of us to enjoy ourselves.
Scamp ended up not coming... and then having no reason not to come, which was a bummer. She had to stay home and watch her niece, Tiffany's daughter, who was still feeling ill, because Tiffany would be working. Well, after my Uncle Steve and Aunt Jane left and got here, Tiffany returned home from work saying that she was feeling sick... so she could have come if she would've known -..- But anyway. I had brought Scamp's Birthday+Christmas gift to give to her, and she had given my Birthday+Christmas present to Aunt Lane in case she couldn't make it. So, I gave her present to Uncle Steve. Anyway! Her gift to me is this cool owl with it's wings outstretched, and there are key hooks on the feathers for keys :D It's so cool. Immediately, I started thinking of alternate ways to use it.... like, instead of using it as a key rack, I could put it at the top of my office window and hanging sun-catchers from it instead :D That'd be cool. Still...maybe it'd be better if I just used it as what it was made for .... still :)
The Family photo session was a chaotic mess, but a fun chaotic mess. There were times when I wondered why we had thought we could accomplish such a gargantuan task... but, in the end I think we pulled it off as best we could :)
I hung about with various people, but I think I had the most fun with my cousins Angel and Pat. They're just fun chicks to be around. Not that I didn't enjoy any of my other Aunts/Uncles or Cousins, those are just the ones that stick out (just like always).
Now that I've had a shower, I do feel a bit better. I still can't wait to leave...but at least it hasn't all been terrible.
Oh well. I guess I have nothing else to really say. From here we go to Aunt Batty's (hallelujah), where there will be internet connection (Hallelujah!). I'm very much looking forward to seeing Houma again. I really can't wait. Sure, I won't be in my bed or taking a shower in my shower, but the facilities are much more accommodating than these.
I think I hear Mom and Bernadine getting out of the bathroom. I'm gonna go ahead and go blow-dry my hair. I really can't afford to leave it wet right now -..- Goodnight, Sunshines.
You Should Teach Fifth Grade |
 You are laid back. You have a great sense of humor and figure "kids will be kids." You have a lot of energy and endurance. It is hard for kids to wear you down. You're able to roll with a rowdy classroom if you need to, but you also know how to keep students in line. You are flexible and spontaneous. You can throw the whole plan out the window, if you need to. |
Yesterday, Mom, Aunt Batty and I did manage to head to town. I just sucked up the pain and tried not to be a drag really. We managed to go to Hobby Lobby though, which is good. Mom said she wanted to buy as much stuff we’d need for me for my next project. I’m not sure I have enough adhesives...but I’ll live with it. I did manage to get tons of cardstock, and since Aunt Batty got me that scrapbook for christmas, I’ll use it to make a family scrapbook. Firstly though, I definitely want to scan the pages for future templates :)
Today, however, has been nothing but a lazy day for me. I finally had a breakthrough yesterday evening (after we all limped home). A WoW character of mine who’d been lurking in my subconsciousness finally showed herself to me in such vivid detail that it shocked my already melted socks right off. I managed to type of a bit of her profile (begins as she finally showed herself after I’d taken my pills), but I’d saved it away since I figured I’d work more on it today....alas, today was the day in which I was too tired to focus but not tired enough to really sleep. Thank God for Anthony Bourdain. The marathon of No Reservations was the only thing that really kept my focus.
Though, I did spend some serious quality time on The Guild web site. The second episode of the second season was up. That was fun. Also, I found the first season of the guild on DVD, which I really want, is sold officially on the J!NX web site. How cool is that? They also have shirts for The Guild....of course, I still need to get a Rogue shirt from J!NX...and...a few others...I have quite the wish list on J!NX, which is kinda surprising since it’s a clothes web site....
Mom, Mr. Gary and Aunt Batty spent most of the day out and about, either shopping or just browsing about. Which meant the house was all mine today....which is probably why I was so sleepy all day long =..= The rain that came today was wonderful though. The wind and thunder and rain was just a wonderful thing. I love the rain so much, and it feels like it’s been a while since I saw it an just heard it all. Mom actually got me a noisemaker because I was saying that ‘d like to have one that had rain and thunder on it.
Well...I guess that’s all for now. The DiGerono pizza is almost cooked so, time to shut up and eat soon. I’ll go ahead and sign off for now. Goodnight, Sunshines.
You Are 55% Kissable |
 You are quite kissable, and you probably get kissed often. You're not as kissable as you could be though. There's a little room for improvement. Be prepared for a kiss at all times, even if it means carrying a toothbrush or mints with you. And when the time comes to kiss, stay open and calm. Being nervous only makes you less kissable. |
Ok...no reason to make this all sour-grapes. Today was not one of my better days. Pretty much all morning and most of the afternoon I spent not feeling well at all. I tried taking that Emergen-C stuff, and it really didn’t help that much. But we left Grandmere’s around 12 something for Raising Cane’s, where we met my cousin Angel. After lunch with her, we headed to Wal-Mart for a thing or two we needed, then to the mall where we got some stuff at Bath and Body and JCPenny’s. Then, we headed to Aunt Batty’s house. She was making supper - beef and potato stew with corn, green beans and rice. We hung out till it was time for supper, and now we’re full and I’m bedded down for the night. Mom and Aunt Batty are watching movies. I figured I’d take this time to post, last post of the year.
The internet connection isn’t great here, it comes and goes. But I’ve been able to keep myself occupied at least. Now that I’ve had my shower, I feel much better. Problem is, I’m really sleepy, and between the fireworks and the dogs barking, I’ll probably not get much before 1 =..= Oi vey. Still, we’ve been welcomed into both homes we stayed in, so at least that was nice. I think we may be headed to my Aunt Carolyn’s tomorrow...I dunno. I, personally, would be content to stay here for the remainder of our stay...but that’s just me.
I’ll go ahead and sign off now. I can’t keep a thought in my head for more than 5 seconds...good indication to shut ‘er down. Night, Sunshines.
You Remember 50% of 2008 |
 Okay, you were somewhat paying attention during 2008. But you're not going to impress anyone with your knowledge of what went down. You know the basics about what went down, but little else... Let's just say you won't be writing the history book for 2008. |
.........Oh. I got a call from my Twin! Yeah...it was like...uh...an hour before...uh...I went to see Twilight (for the 3rd time =..=....Shattup!). Anyway! She called to wish me a Merry Christmas. Lots of peoplez has been doing that today >_> hmm. So, we talked for a few minutes while I was waiting for the “Now Seating” light to come on. I got a text from Chibi too wishing me Merry Christmas. I let her know what room we were in. Oh yeah, got a text from Bubba, too; it was a Merry Christmas, so I sent one back “Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal.” because, yeah I totally over dose on Home Alone. To my surprise, he texted back, “Get down on your knees and tell me you love me. OOPS. Getting ahead of myself there!” or something like that. After I stopped rolling around on the ground, I texted back “ ‘And a Happy New Year’ to you too >_>”. Twas funny.
While Mom and Aunt Batty went to see a movie, I killed time by seeing Twilight, for the third time as I mentioned before. Funny how no matter how many times you watch ‘em, they always end the same :). I was really early for the showing, and I got to talk to Holly, who worked at the Palace before I even got in there. She’s a manager now. It was good to see her again. I know she and Travis still work there, but I think pretty much everyone else I knew there has moved on. The General managers are famous for going there to get fired (as opposed to going there to die). She said they’ve improved their record, because recently they got a GM and he left by way of transfer as opposed to being fired. I suppose you have to start somewhere :D.
....Oh. And Mom bought Aunt Batty a gift, which from what I gather they’d agreed no gifts, so she gave me a scrapbook starter! I was so happy! I had told Mom that I wanted to do a family scrapbook for her, and I just finished one and I wouldn’t know where to start. But this scrapbook actually matches a quilt Aunt Batty had made for Mom, so it kinda goes with her room. So we’ll just take it from there! I’m excited about that now.
I wish we could stay in this room the entire time we’ll be here =..= Oh well. There are things we still have to do. My cell phone needs some serious charging - I turned it off in the movie and when I got out and turned it on to call Mom, the battery was red and empty o..o. I’m tired, but I’m also happy to be here and really enjoying the place (let’s hope that continues). Later, Sunshines!
You Spread Some Holiday Cheer |
 You do your best to give time, money, and joy during the holidays. You don't always spread cheer to everyone, but you do the best. Unlike most people, you actually spend time reflecting on the meaning of the holidays. And you worry more about doing the right thing than getting the right presents. |
I was talking to Mom, asking when we would leave. She told me that they would have to leave on the 22nd (probably very very early in the morning =..=). Which means the 21st is going to be insane. I think my parents are going to Houston for...uh, the 16th through the 18th...I think they’ll be back on the 19th. Some sort of school Dad has to go to. Anyway. I already told Scamp I’d be over to pick her up on the 15th some time, so I asked her if her parents could come and pick her up late afternoon on the 21st. I won’t know the exact time till I get the times for the movie, so I can’t tell them approximately when we’ll need them to come over. I’m thinking, Mom and Dad may be spending the night somewhere else so that Scamp, Reiko and I can wake up and do whatever it is we’re gonna be doing.
I swear, I’ve been planning for this thing for so long, I can’t wait till it gets here just so I can finally relax. I will be taking Zeis along just for fun-sake...gonna have to clean my purse out so I can get it in there and not be considered a freak……….ok! Not such a big freak! Geeze! I’m really just so very excited! I can’t wait to get together, even if it is gonna be crazy. It’s weird, because I already have ideas on what I want to do with Zeis and what we’re going to shoot for our little movie. Obviously, we’re not going to be bootlegging or anything, I just want to shoot us before the movie, going to the movie, after the movie, hanging out at Zen and Books-A-Million….I’m sooo excited XD!
So, our Edward Jones, financial advisor guy came over and told me that I have to roll all of my funds over into an IRA. Truth is, I’ve totally forgotten my login and password for that. I get my statement all the time and take a look, but...it’s just a little bit over my head so. Yeah. I mean, I can’t touch it till I’m 59 anyway, right? I hate having something and it not being mine, so there’s no point looking at all the money...that I cannot touch.
……………I am so tired. I almost can’t wait till the 23rd. Then I can crash for a few days before trying to find a new job...then again, I won’t really be able to relax till after Reiko’s married. She’s supposed to be getting married on the 28th of December. Oh, and yeah, I have to be down in the dress shop at 1:30 on the 13th for my fitting =..= Geeze. There’s just...so much.
Well, lunch is over. I’ll talk later, Sunshines.
You Should Be a Cat for Halloween |
 According to our quiz, you'd make an ideal cat. Your runner up costume: Death |
What Your Cute Monster Says About You |
 You are a deep, thoughtful, down to earth person. You don't put much stock in appearances. You are never superficial or flippant. You take time in life to study, learn, and get to know people well. You inner demon is laziness. You can get so caught up in your own world that you neglect everything around you. People think you're cute because you're intelligent. Your wit and wisdom are charming. |
You Should Be a Mummy |
 You are seen as exotic and mysterious. You keep people guessing. You see Halloween as a time that you can defy expectations and show a different part of yourself. You love to try to frighten people. You enjoy being a little creepy, especially on Halloween. You enjoy breaking taboos and challenging what people are comfortable with. If that's scary, so be it! |
You Are 25% Witch |
 It's unlikely that you're a witch. At least, no one thinks you are. You may still be interested in witchcraft, but you're by no means a stereotypical witch. While you don't seem all that witchy, people may think you're a bit weird. You're definitely a little offbeat. No one really knows what to make of you sometimes. |
Aunt Batty: Hon, would you mind watchin’ Fred? It’ll just be for the night and we’ll pick him up tomorrow afternoon. Oh! You’re house looks so cute! Oh, you’ll do it? Great! You’re really saving me here! Here’s his leash, and his ball and his bowl and his food and $10 and him, thanks so much! I owe you lunch! *leaves*
MM: ….good morning?
So yeah...After that, I took Fred out to make sure he didn’t need to use the bathroom. Came back in and made breakfast…then I got to work. I went through all the boxes in my back room/computer room, and I took them all upstairs, stack by stack where I arranged them in my shelves under my bed. Then I took all the things out of Reiko’s box and put them in another section of shelves so I wouldn’t have to worry about tripping over that box. Then, I went next door while my parents were at a church thing (Convoy of Hope or something…) and cleaned out my closet…because, evidently I hadn’t hurt myself enough with carrying 20 lb stacks of books up stairs. Once I got all the clothes I new I’d want to keep, I hauled it back and hung it up in my closet (it took 3 trips =..=). I’m still so very soar but that’s mostly because of my sciatica. It’s really killing me, but…there’s not much I can do about that.
Sunday, after rolling out of bed, I went to church and then after a wonderful lunch at Western Sizzler with the rents, Mom and I went to the Avenue. I got 5 pairs of pants, 2 jeans and 3 cargo pants ^..^ Happy bunny! Of course, then I went back home and crashed with Fred. We played a lot, and I finally got him to go into my back room. He’s been afraid of my fire-door for so long, he wouldn’t go back there. But I threw his ball back there and then when he looked at me like “What now?” I just placed him on the other side of the door and coaxed him back to me. Then he realized there was no problem and he was coming and going. Twas cute. But then, he went home. Almost makes me want a dog again. If I could afford it of course.
Today, not much has been happening, only I forgot to take my lunch break again (it happens from time to time), and when I finally ate, this weird feeling came over me…I have these weird feelings, usually when I’m laying in bed, it feels like my feet are slowly being pulled up while my head is being pulled down or my shoulders are being pulled to the left and my feet to the right. I usually don’t pay that much mind, it’s almost soothing in fact and helps me to get to sleep faster. But now, I’m getting that sensation …and it’s making me want to sleep so badly. It’s just weird. And Lori has no idea what it could be...‘interesting’ was what she called it.
So, I’m gonna get back to work (assuming I can make it down stairs). Later, Sunshines.
Lets101 - Free Online Dating
So, my day. I woke up late, because I always do on a Saturday. But, when I was so awake that I couldn’t go back to sleep, I got up. Then I fixed a big breakfast for myself. I made two eggs over easy, two pieces of toast with butter and apple jelly, and some strops of bacon along with coffee. I ate breakfast slowly, debating over what I should do since, I didn’t really have anything set for the day. I called my Mom on the cell to see what was up with my Dad, since she’d left Thursday afternoon for Lafayette hoping to pick him up sometime Friday. She hadn’t slept well, because she expected him to call at any time. She said if I was bored, I could go to town and look around at stuff.
So, I decided that was probably the best idea, since it would kill quite a bit of time. And I needed to get gas in my car (I always run it to about a quarter of a quarter of a tank ^..~). I made a list of all the things that I get constantly, then I decided to add groceries to the list like dish washing detergent and 409 and such, then I thought I should add food to it too (so you can see it became a huge list). And I had this idea that I’d go to town and price stuff and see how much my grocery bills might be. Then I had this great idea to go to Pet Smart (where Reiko works) and price pet stuff!..The list is still here on the desk because I gave up after Pet Smart =..=’
So, forgetting the whole list, I headed out of PetSmart and over to Target. I looked at different furniture just because that’s something I enjoy. I also looked at their selection of glasses, because I had seen some that I really liked on Amazon, but I wanted to look around and make sure if there wasn’t anything else I liked better that would be cheaper. I didn’t find anything I liked, and I knew that I needed to at least get one new pair of shoes, so I looked at their shoes. Didn’t find anything that I liked, even though I took 30 minutes looking to make sure. I really don’t like shopping around with tons of people there though...I should shop on weekdays...but I consoled myself by browsing the movies. I got The Count of Monte Cristo and The Holiday and for just $10 too. That was great. I also go the first and second season of The Girls Next Door...one of my few guilty pleasures.
I then went to Wal-Mart and spent another 45 minutes looking at shoes...with no luck. By now, the only good thing was score more DVDs and I had sore feet and I was really tired of town. So, I trekked it over to Sam’s where I got some gas and then headed home. I was really getting hungry by now too, so it was just time to go home. Although, I was a little upset that I didn’t just get all the Star Wars movies…but I knew I’d go over my budget if I did. So. Sad panda. But…eventually.
Anyway, I started watching the first season of the Girls and started in on the second when Mom and Dad finally got home! So, I took a break to eat with them and give Dad a hug and all and we watched the DVD that Aunt Batty gave us with the pictures from their Colorado trip. But we didn’t watch much because Dad was so tired and all. And now it’s bed time...wich is just after shower time ^..^ I so cannot wait till the next season of Red Vs. Blue comes out.
Well, I guess that’s all for today. I tried to be a normal girl today and shop for shoes (that rawk) but I couldn’t pull it off…I think I’ll enjoy the DVDs more ^..^ Goodnight, Sunshines.
You Are a Log Ride |
 You prefer to live a fairly calm, relaxed life... with a few surprises thrown in. You don't tend to get yourself worked up easily. You can roll with what life throws at you. In relationships, you are steady and solid. You maintain a pretty broad perspective on what's going on. That's not to say you can't get swept away. You're emotions run as deep as anyone else's. Your life seems like it has been remarkably easy so far. But that's due to how you manage it. You never stretch yourself too thinly, and you think out your decisions carefully. Taking the time to enjoy each day is important to you, and you don't let your emotions rule you. You stay the course and do what's right... knowing it will all work out in the end. At your best, you are tolerant and understanding of other people's quirks. You take "go with the flow" to the extreme. Even if you don't like where you're going. At your worst, you repress your feelings and end up being a little tightly wound. You definitely have some explosive emotions that occasionally come to the surface! |
Beware, for I am: 
Productive
Whoa...what a rollercoaster. Ok, church this morning was good in the fact that I had to stay for the 10:30 song service to do sound. Now usually I’d be kinda freaked about it, but I actually wasn’t feeling too bad. And then, I rocked the house. For some odd reason I’m always intimidated by the other services. I guess it’s because they’re supposed to have more to them and be more complicated. I always think I wont be able to do them well, but when I did the song service this morning, and it sounded good, I felt so good.
We then went to Piccadilly and ate. I had the fried butterfly shrimp with green been casserole, Neptune salad (a constant. I'm a sucker for crab meat) and a roll. The casserole wasn’t that great...but everything else was pretty good. And I got a cell-phone photo of Aunt Batty to go with her name. Sweet.
Came home and immediately conked out. I started hurting, and with food in my belly and all it was no contest. I woke up later (around 4ish) and I was feeling really weird. I rewatched Legend...I still think that Darkness is really hot. The voice alone, man...But anyway.
I then realized I hadn’t done any work on my fics. So I hurriedly got online...and looked at journals and fan fiction for a couple of hours ---_____---- sheesh. Finally, I managed to limit the distractions and hunker down for some serious work. But man...it seems like the work is endless here. I’ve got the rough draft down, but I really want to go over it a few more times...it’s like 1,000+ words past the word limit that I put, but it’s still not good enough. This one promises to be a doozie.
Oh, also, I called Chibi and Reiko tonight. Chibi wants to go see X3 tomorrow, but Reiko’s got work. But I can’t go see the movie any other time during the week (at least not comfortably), so Chibi and I are gonna go and then I’ll talk with Chibi about getting together again later in the week. We have to hurry up with that because Reiko will be leaving us this Saturday for Kentucky...and Chibi’s leaving for Switzerland ===____==== Geeze. Oh well, we’ll figure it out.
Ok...I’m hungry and it’s late. Goodnight!
MM
Accomplished
Hello, Mina-des! I got to sleep in really late today and that makes for a happy MM. I woke up around 9 (funny how when I was a teenager I thought 9 was early o.O) and ate breakfast. Mom went out with Aunt Batty for a while, and I stayed in and did some laundry. I did get a e-mail from luniXman informing me about the BBAG message board for our church. Hillarious. Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?
Well, I went to the bank to depsote my check, and I saw a old friend of mine from college! She was working as a teller. She said the accounting teacher is fixing to go on maternity leave. Funny. You leave for a year and everything’s changed.
Well after I deposited my moneies, I remembered that Office Max was having a going out of business sale. So I cruzed over there and got my sharpies! They’re pretty and for some reason they make me feel all giddy for buying them. I’m such a dork.
I guess the whole obsession with writing utensils comes with being a writers *shrug*. I also got Mom ad spiral bound journal that has a Thomas Kinkade lighthouse painting on it. She loved it.
As soon as I finish my pizza, I’m gonna go and mow the back yard. I’ll check in later. Ja!
MM
Blah
Ok, so today was a great new restaurant experience. Mom had told me about this cool café that she and Aunt Batty had gone to. It’s a charming little place called The Demitasse. It’s a wonderful little place that serves every type of coffee imaginable, along with great food, plus it’s an internet café, and it sells antiques and other coffee paraphernalia. ‘Twas good.
I didn’t get to burn my candle today...that saddens me. Then again, I only turned up my computer a few minutes ago. My Mom bought me this hazelnut candle that I’ve been burning for a few weeks. I swear, if my mom knew how much I enjoy playing around with wax, she never would’ve let me have candles and matches as a kid. I’m constantly sticking my fingers in the hot wax, or pouring it into my palm and letting it dry slowly. More of my weirdness, I guess.
Oh, in other news; We’ve got Fred again! Yeah, Aunt Batty had to go out of town, so we’re watching him again. I took a couple of pictures, and I was thinking of somehow printing them out in an artsy way and framing them and giving them to Aunt Batty. Of course, everyone knows that just gives MM more of an excuse to take pictures!

Ok, I wouldn’t really be posting, but some cool things happened at church tonight, and that doesn’t happen often so I figured I should post so that if I look back I can remember it. Damn...what a run on. Take a breath, MM.
Ok. So, Aunt Batty came and got Fred not to long before we left for church. I got some final pictures of him, but I’m debating whether I want to actually post them or not. But that’s not the cool thing...Oh yeah! And we had hawks fighting in our yard today! I heard some screeching, and I looked out my window, and there’s this huge hawk just standing on the ground right outside. And he’s screeching and looking around, so I raced to get my camera, but when I got back another hawk dives down and nearly clobbers the first hawk. And then they flew into a tree that was really far away and screeched at each other for a while. Then they stopped. But that wasn’t what was cool either!
OK. Church. So, I get to church, and I start writing. Now, my rule is that I write when people are milling about (it keeps people away if they think you’re busy), and I can write whenever the pastor is preaching (especially if he’s being repetitive and boring), but during the song service I don’t write. Why? Well, because I’ve had moments when I don’t know what to write, and I’ll listen to the words of the songs and get an idea. It’s not even the words of the songs they sing...sometimes it’s just the flow of the beat and the feel of the music...it gets me in the mood. It works so I don’t question it.
So, after the song service started I’m sitting there on the back row, nearest to the corner, where it’s darkest in the entire church (unless I were to find a closet, and then I couldn’t write), when Brother El. Comes over and whaps me on the shoulder. I mean whaps me good too. I nearly fell over. And he teases me and says something like,
“Don’t ignore me! Pay attention!”
Well, luniXman just happened to be walking towards the door right by him, and he kinda playfully shoves El, and he’s like,
“Don’t hit my sister! What are you thinking!”
And Brother El’s all, “She was ignoring me! I don’t have to put up with that!”
And luniXman says, “She wasn’t ignoring you. She was giving you the respect she figured you deserved.” Then he looks at me and says, “Did I say that?”
And I’m like, “Out loud?”
That made my day. It was hilarious. It didn’t help that luniXman was wearing that shirt that looks like the Matrix, and it says “Messiah” and underneath that it says, “Jesus is the One.”
Ok, so next. I wrote 9 pages of the next chapter in the EQ Saga. Yup, that’s right. I wrote out the intro...yup, that’s right, the intro is 9 pages long. Then again, I could type that sucker up and it’d only be like 2 pages on Word. But still! Writing that much is an accomplishment! I looked up and I was like, “What!” because someone was tapping my shoulder and my Dad was like, “Uh, do you wanna go?” and I’m all like, “Oh...uh...yeah. Hold on a sec!” It was amusing. Then we went to Whataburger and I wrote out another half a page after I’d eaten. I think Mom was trying to get me to be social, but I was there for two things: to eat, and to write. If they want me to be social, they can come and sit with me.
So that was my night. I’ve already taking my pills (with some hot coffee because I was coughing my longues up), and I’m gonna go and shower quick, before the sleeping pills kick in. Hmm, I wonder if taking sleeping pills with coffee would be considered redundant...
Goodnight!

God, today was...interesting.
Woke up around 9. Ate, had coffee, Mom went to town with Aunt Batty. I got ready to go to that Staffing place and Reiko called. She said she wanted to borrow Red vs. Blue and I said I didn’t mind. She even brought me my calendar that I’d ordered, lo, those many months ago. She came over and when she saw what I was wearing she was all, “Why are you dressed up?” so I told her I was going around and passing out resumes and all that. She left and I got on the road.
Unfortunately, I got to the place around 11:30 a.m. and they stop taking applications at 11...of course they start taking them again at 1:30. That is one seriously long lunch break. So, I took an application plus all the paperwork, and headed to town. I went to Burger King and filled out the applications there. Then I went around to Wal-Mart and Office Depot. I was checking to see their prices on computer microphones. I’ve always wanted to buy one for myself so that I could do recordings too, like on Sloths Gone Mad. Well, Wal-Mart had a desk microphone for $9.98, but Office Depot had a lapel/monitor microphone for $7.99. I expected Wal-Mart to have a better price, but Office Depot had better.
After that I headed back to the staffing place and had my interview. The nice lady there said they would test my skills in office and then they would start seeing if a position came in. So, my appointment to ‘test my skills’ is on Tuesday the 17th at 2:00 p.m. Which is good, ‘cause that gives me plenty of time to wake up and have lunch. She said that the test usually takes like 2 hours or something so that means I’ll need to eat a nice big lunch and perhaps I should go comfortable. I dunno. I think I might like it better if I go comfortable, but if I go dressed up and in make up it’ll give me an idea of what professional life would be like. God, I hate wearing make up. I mean, guys don’t wear it. And if charm is deceitful and beauty is vain then why bother? But then, everyone judges everyone else by appearance. Except me of course. I don’t give a damn either way.
Ok, so I got home, and had a sandwich. But since I had been nervous about it all, I wasn’t that hungry for lunch and I kinda skipped it. That was a bad idea. I should’ve made myself eat. Because after everything was over, I was starved and got super hungry. Then, I got a sinus headache and took some meds for that. Consequently, I was really really really spaced out at church tonight.
I will be posting my church entry in ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
ruby_unicorn, because there are some things that I don’t want the whole world seeing that I wanna say.
Anyway. We picked up Fred from Aunt Batty. They’re going out of town this weekend, so we’ll be dog-sitting for them. We really don’t mind, ‘cause Fred is really low maintenance. He’s really cute too. Here’s a picture of the little guy.
But anyway. I’m really tired from this crazy sinus medication. I’m gonna go shower and then it’ll probably be off to bed for me. Goodnight.

Tired
Ok, so I noticed something today...it’s not something that I’ve never noticed before, it’s just something that I never acknowledged in my diary...I write whenever I’m bored. Well, not all the time, I guess. I mean, if it’s 6 a.m. and the only thing on my mind is “Need...more...sleep...” then, I’m probably not going to write (although I have, and it wasn’t terrible). But when my brain is in full working order (or at least 85% of me is there) and I’m really bored...I’ll write.
Tonight is a great example. I’m sitting in church, and they’re singing, and I’m sitting there bobing my head to the beat and enjoying the words and their meanings. Then my Sunday School teacher gives a huge testimony (which will probably be detailed more in ruby_unicorn later), and then comes the slow music, and then the pastor gets up there and starts preaching. Well, Mom came over right at the end of song service and told me she and Aunt Batty were going to another church for something special. Evidently, Aunt Batty’s sister was having some high-falutin’ shin-dig at their church.../shrug. Hey, I don’t make this stuff up, ok? Anyway. So, Mom hands me the keys to the car and tells me she’ll meet me at the house later. So song service is over, and the pastor starts preaching.
The Sermon: The cripple man near the pool. You know (or maybe you don’t), the one where there’s a cripple man laying near a pool that’s often disturbed by an angel. If you dip in the pool when the waters are stirred, you get healed. The man’s been laying there 30-something years, and Jesus comes along and asks of his predicament. Then after the cripple tells Jesus his long, sorry tale Jesus asks, “Do you want to be healed?”. Long and short of it is that Jesus heals the man and tells him to take his ‘bed’ and walk. Well the man gathers up his little mat and walks. Bad news? It’s the Sabbath. Anyone who knows anything about Jewish culture knows their Sabbaths are sacred. You aren’t supposed to do any work on that day. And carrying a mat around is work. So the religious leaders chastised him for it and he said Jesus told him to do it.
Now, after going over all this, the Pastor went on to elaborate the story...I know the story. I’ve known it for the better part of 12 or so years. I don’t need elaboration. So, I got bored, and I started to write. I got another small little thingy written out. Which is great, because it’s the start of the next chapter in one of my other fics. Then, I heard the pastor giving the alter call, and I looked up and realized I’d written through the whole service.
That’s when it hit me...
So, if you see me somewhere, with my head down, scribbling away in a notebook...chance are, I’m bored. Either that, or I have something huge in my head that I must get onto paper before I’ve forgotten it.
That’s it for today. Not tales of my whole day. You really don’t care what I’m doing all day anyway right? Right. So, I’m gonna go ahead and shower and go to bed. Busy day tomorrow. I have to strip my walls tomorrow to get ready for kiltzing. Yayness /sarcasm.
Oh, on another note. ( Survivor Spoilers )
And that’s all I have to say about that. And that’s the end of the night for me. Goodnight, everyone!

Yo. What did I do today? Well, let’s see. There are like five people on my X-mas shopping list, and I’ve already got 3 of them marked off. Mom of course I’ve already said, but today I marked off Chibi (amai_tenshi) and Reiko too. So basically, I bought a bunch of stuff today...but I can’t say what yet. I still don’t know when/if Chibi is coming down for Thanksgiving yet. Oi yey, so much to consider. Reiko’s gift was easy to figure, but Chibi’s was a bit harder. I just hope I pegged them correctly.
The only people left on the shopping list are Dad and Bub. Why are guys so hard to shop for? I was thinking of getting Dad a gift certificate to a gospel shop that he adores in New Orleans. It would also be a good reason for Mom and I to tag along and have beignets! But to me, that wouldn’t be enough. No, I’d need to get him something else. Tools I don’t want to do. Clothes...he has enough clothes. I was thinking, maybe I could get him some music that he’d like. I’m pretty certain he loves anything by the Gathers and old gospel quartets seem right up his alley too.
Bub is a little bit easier to shop for. I think I’ll be getting him something LSU-ish. He loves LSU so I figured a jersey or t-shirt or something. He and I usually only get each other 1 gift or so, so that’s all I’m thinking of getting him. I think I’ll tell Mom to tell him to get me a gift certificate to Amazon or Books a Million or something like that. It’s easy and he doesn’t screw up at guessing my taste.
What else happened today. Church was cool; Sunday School was great, as usual. Mom, Aunt Batty and I went to Olive Garden afterward and stuffed ourselves on breadsticks, salad, and pasta (soup for Aunt Batty too). I came home alone after picking up Mom’s meds at the local CVS. Then I got online and read e-mail and then fan fiction in a desperate attempt to stay awake. Unfortunately it started raining, and that might’ve been as good as taking a sleeping pill in my current condition. I don’t think I slept very long or very well, but when I woke up Mom was home again. She ironed while we talked. I wasn’t feeling great, so I didn’t go to church. I stayed home and watched America’s Funniest Home Videos and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, both very good for the soul. AFV is really funny, and Home Edition is very funny/moving. Inspires hope and all the junk. Tonight’s home was the log mansion for the lobster fisherman in Mane...just for the records.
And that’s really about it. I’m now just typing away, waiting for Mom to get home from Wendy’s or where ever those crazy church people decided to go. I’ll shower when she gets back and then it’s to bed with me. So...Goodnight.

Anyway, I really got up at 10:30, ate and Mom went of with Mrs. Betty, whom I fondly call my Aunt Batty. Long story. Anyway, I did some laundry, and listened to some music, and read a little in a book. Then I got online about 12:00 and played EQ. I got off there at 1:00 to wait for my Twin-san. I got off line at....2:55.
Mom got home somewhere around 2:00/2:15, and she told me she thinks I need to go look for more jobs, which is fine with me. Can't hurt to put out a few more applications right? I let her take the Royalty and Beauty quiz. They said she's a Maiden, and a Prairie Desert beauty. Cool ne? Anyway, we went outside and moved stuff onto our carport. Swings, flower pots, shelves, tables and chairs and such. We planted some flowers and then I helped mom pick some of our home grown cucumbers and zucchini. I took the produce inside and washed it, then returned to help water the trees.
Thomas was with some friend....I don't know who his friend is 'cause he wasn't introduced to us. Then Thomas we out, with someone else I don't know.....though I think it was Damien. He said he was gonna go eat and go to the movies. If he sees Star Wars Episode II I'll have to ask him about it.
Anyway, I took my shower and all and when I got out, Mom said Aunt Batty had called and she needed to go to Wal Mart. So Mom went with Aunt Batty and got back.....around....9:40...I think. So, I watched the end of Survivor and CSI alone, but I had it all taped so Mom and I watched together when she got back. I'm the type of girl that I don't watch my favorite shows, I memorize them -_-.
So like I said a lot of nothing happened today. I'm glad Himemiya's doing better. Dad comes in tomorrow, and Mom and I are gonna go pick him up. I have a milk jug which I keep change in and Mom and I counted the Quarters in it today. I have $60. in quarters in there....O.o. So maybe I'll get to cash that at the bank tomorrow. Then I'll finally be able to buy that gift for my Twin-san and have some money left over. And this ends the miscellaneous paragraph. I'm getting really sleepy Minna. I'll write later. That's all she wrote.
