I was also happy to hear that Supernatural has been picked up for it’s fifth season! ....of course, that only means I need a job that much more...otherwise, I won’t be able to afford season 4 or 5 when they finally come to DVD ;) As is, I feel I’m sorta behind on my fandoms in a way..../stares longingly at S3 Bones Box Set. Not that I’ll be buying much of anything fun even for my first few pay checks. I’ll need to start saving immeadately....otherwise, I won’t have much of a savings to speak of -..-

In superficial news, True Beauty finally skipped off into the sunset. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed ridiculing these so called ‘Beautiful People’ almost all season long...And, I did really love Billy (which, surprises me, since I don’t usually go for blonds), but...I don’t think I could’ve taken another week of Joel’s conceited attitude >..> Not Joel McHale, of course! But the dude on there named Joel who was a conceited jerk. No, Joel McHale is my McDreamy :D Aaaaand I hope he makes fun of the ‘Douchbag’ meeting just like he did last week :) Anyway. I liked Billy and Julia was pretty ok too (considering), but they had gotten...awfully smarmy (which fit in well with the judges I suppose). Also, can I say that the thing at the end with the chocolates was hilarious? It was! OK, so the gimmick to this thing is that these gorgeous people are competing against each other to be the most beautiful person in America; but, what they don’t know is the judges are also judging them on inner beauty and spying on their every move with hidden cameras all over the house. Well, at the end, they received a tray of chocolates with a card saying “Here’s a chance for you to see through our eyes - Your judges.” and they were staring at the chocolates like it was a puzzle, all the while not realizing that on the back of the card was the answer “Go Down Stairs” XD!!!! Hilarious! It was edited but it looked like it took them five minutes just to flip the stupid card over!

....Reiko’s birthday is coming soon. She’s gonna be 21....God, but it makes me feel old. I need to call her and ask which address she’ll be at. Otherwise, it’ll be hard for me to know where to send her present. It still bugs me that I didn’t get Celeste’s address...not that it excuses me from not sending her a card. Mom and I had found a local Hallmark store, and they have a ton of those great musical cards, and I was going to send her one of those but....well, Mom and I kept getting sick and forgetting. I should’ve looked her up on white pages.com or something. It’s no excuse =..= I’m usually on the ball with birthdays...dang moving anyway.

Oh, and I finally put my Twilight fic up on juli_bear . I private posted it ages ago, and I finally got around to proof-reading and publicly posting it. I swear, I need to get my butt in gear. Having moved or not, I was supposed to have that LJ as my Fan Fic/Group area, and I’ve only posted the first chapter of one fic so far! ...I guess I’m slugging because really Twilight is one of the few fics I’m working on currently. Every other fic has gone stale =..= But! The first chapter of my new Broken Wing is now available, and I’ve posted it to twilight_book as well :) I really hope having it posted with my LJ as well as having a community aware of it will help motivate me.

....I can’t think of anything else....I guess that means it’s time for me to shut up and distract myself elsewhere :) Talk later, Sunshines!

You Are Carrot Juice

You are a warm, cooperative person. You work well with others. While you have a fairly strong personality, you don't have a lot of clashes and conflicts. You are ambitious, but not ruthlessly so. You won't step on anybody's feet to get to the top. You are successful, and all your success has come while looking out for others.

What Kind of Juice Are You?

Beware, for I am: Grateful

Wow. So today’s Father’s day. Happy D Day to all you Dads out there, btw. I sent my dad an e-mail telling him how proud I was to have him and how grateful. That pretty much sums it up. I have friends that don’t have great relationships with their parents, and I’ve gotta say, I am so blessed. My parents and I get along so well, we enjoy one another’s company (most of the time ^_^), we have different opinions about things (like whether or not having a fan on in a room actually make that room cooler ¬_¬), but overall, we not only love each other we like each other. And that’s a comfort many people just don’t have.

Speaking of how much I ‘enjoy’ my parents, the other day when I came home from work with that migraine, my parents had a surprise for me. Usually I don’t like surprises very much...but that’s on account of how sometimes a surprise involves me somehow being social, and I ain’t ‘zactly the social butterfly. But this was a nice one. They got me the Magic Bullet. You know that blender they’ve been advertising for ages now? I had only been wanting it for a year or so, and Mom said she and Dad were driving and she told him how I wanted it and they could get it at Walgreen’s and he was like ‘Let’s go.’ I was tickled pink. It comes with it’s own cook book right, so there’s all these recipes about how to make chicken salad sandwiches and soups and artichoke dip and of course the cappuccino drinks alone are enough for me. There is a whole frozen drinks section, but I don’t’ like to drink so I figure I can just make myself virgin drinks and enjoy the fruit and such ^_^

The last couple of days haven’t been my best. I’ve kinda been giving myself grief because of my stories. I mean, I have the EQ Saga, which is my Ever Quest fan fiction; and then I have Different from Me, which is my X-men Movie fan fiction and I just don’t feel like I’m putting enough time into either of them. But I’m too tired to do anything about it. Or when I am awake, I don’t feel very creative and can’t write. It’s the darndest thing. Quite a conundrum.

Reiko said she’d be coming back today...said she’s going back to Kansas though. I really don’t know what to think of it anymore. But I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t really matter what I think anymore. I doubt that she honestly cares. It’s funny, ‘cause her mom says that I’m a good role-model for her and everything...I’m just a bit more stable and down-to-earth than her other friends...well, Chibi notwithstanding of course. I don’t feel the slightest bit qualified to be someone’s role-model. There are times I don’t feel very much like a good person...but I do try...I suppose that’s what counts.

I think I’m gonna go and watch some more of Chibi’s Firefly...before she comes back and takes it away. Gotta memorize it while I can, na no da. Goodnight everyone.

PS: Oh yeah! The whole Wolf's Rain quiz is inspired by the fact that I've bought it. I ordered that, Sailor Moon Super, and Rune Soldier from Amazon. I swear, that's gonna be the last anime/amazon spree...this month...^_^ heee!

Beware, for I am: Relieved

Phew...today has been a long day. I went to bring Mom some lunch around 2ish. Dad was having tests done, and she hadn’t eaten since breakfast. The doctors thought that he either had a kidney infection or his kidney was blocked. The infection could be treated with an antibiotic, but the blockage required surgery to put a stint in. They said he might be there till Monday if things didn’t get any better. Mom called me a few minutes ago and informed me that he was feeling much better, and they’re considering letting him go home sometime tomorrow. Phew.

Thanks to green_goblin70 and popfiend for the encouragement. It means a lot.

My entire afternoon was basicly me throwing myself into anything possible to distract myself from the simple fact that I was home alone while Dad was feeling so terrible. I even managed to watch some Sci Fi...although I must say, Sci Fi was pretty ‘Dead’ tonight. Really. Everything was about dead people. I mean, I just didn’t know that supernatural and paranormal things were considered sci fi. I drew the line at House of the Dead. I mean, the whole Shallow Ground movie was actually kind of interesting. The whole blood thing and the vengeful spirits kinda gave me a bit of inspiration...or something like it. But honestly. The game may’ve rocked for some people, but the movie totally sucked. Face it, Sega, not all games can follow in Mortal Kombat’s footsteps. /nod nod nod

So, I finally finished off the lasagna too. I’m almost sad to see it go. That had to be one of the best lasagnas I’ve eaten. I’ll have to get another some time.

Well, I better be off to bed. Goodnight everyone.

You Are a Pineapple Jelly Bean

Easy going and undemanding, you have good taste but aren't a show off about it.

Beware, for I am: Tired

I just spent the past 5 hours playing Black&White 2 O___O…pretty stars...

Ok, so tonight Dad goes off-shore which is a bummer, but he’s been kinda...I dunno...moody lately. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think he was PMSing. But anywho. Mom told me to go and shower in her bathroom since Dad was trying to sleep...unfortunately, I think she went to bed a while ago. Now, Mom is a lot like me; she doesn’t just go to sleep. It takes a long time for that to happen. Dad on the other hand inclines his head slightly and he’s snoring. He fell asleep in a dentist’s chair, I kid you not. So, it just makes common sense to me to just go shower in my own bathroom instead of risking keeping Mom up. Besides all that, I’ll have to move all my stuff to her shower...and I’ve come to like my shower.

Why am I stressing about this? Oh. I’m tired. Leave me alone. Ok. So Chibi’s marginally ok. Or, about as ok as she usually is. She has some scrapes on her arm, but the about 1/3 of the college knows her as ‘the girl that got hit by the minivan’ now. She says it’s a great conversation piece too. Which I find utterly hilarious. And she’s no longer worried about the deadlines to her projects because her professors/teachers/whatevers postponed them. Honestly -__-

Other than that...I did that interview today, which lasted all of 10 minutes. It went ok. I mean, they said they’d consider me for this new thing they’re trying which is basically scanning their files into the computer. They said it’s hum-drum and isolated and I’d be left in the back of the office by myself with nothing but a computer and scanner and I’d be filing away. I was like, “Perfect! Sign me up!”. Not really...at least those weren’t my exact words. I enthusiastically pounced on the qualities of my personality and skills that I’ve acquired that would benefit them in said position...or, like, something.^___^

I could rant on about several things (Supernatural being the biggest on my list), but I really should go shower, if I’m gonna and I wanna so I’d better...Man, I could sing Country or sum’in /jk. Goodnight, ya’ll.

PS: OMG...this has got to be the funniest damn thing I’ve ever seen before in my entire life...

Holy quadrupeds...Ok, something I’m working on that I’ve discussed on ruby_unicorn is taking way longer than I thought it would. Otherwise, I would’ve posted and then been in bed by now. But I’m gonna go ahead and make time for this post before today becomes tomorrow.

Ok, so interview/skills assessment. I got there around 1:45 for my appointment that was at 2. They said it wasn’t a problem, and they started me on the computer right away. I was on there for 10 minutes or so when another girl walked in for the same thing. They’d double scheduled, and since they only have one computer, they can only assess one person at a time. So, since I had gotten there and started already, I was able to continue. OCD comes in handy for once.

The assessments...let’s see. One was on filing, the other was on customer service, another on Word 2003, another on Excel 2003, there was grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and math, typing and data entry too. So, I got there at 1:45 and I didn’t look up till around 3:22. It took that long. And I’m usually a speed demon, but I was going a bit slower just to try and do really well.

I bumed out on the math, but I expected that. I scored flawlessly on grammar, spelling and vocabulary (I was so nervous that I wouldn’t! I mean, it’s something I obsess over, and it would just figure that I’d take a test on it and suck). I got /thinks I think and 80% on Excel, which is really good since I haven’t really done a lot with Excel since I graduated. Word I scored 100% on the basic and intermediate levels and ...I think 85% on advanced. I typed 69 words per minute (which sucks since I used to be able to type about 75). And I know that I did really well in data entry. We never did discuss filing or customer service...but I can’t imagine that I did badly on that. Overall I made a...I think she said 84.75% and she said most people don’t score above 80% so that was good. She did seem happy that I did 69 words per minute...I should probably practice with Mavis Beacon some more...or maybe I can get the typing software that they had at the school! I hated using it at the time, but I could get up to 80 wpm with only 3 errors with that sucker.

Oh, also, I found out that my High School GPA was 3.0 and my college GPA was 3.3...I have no idea what those numbers mean. I assume they’re average. I mean, I know a 4.0 is the best you can get, so a 3.3 is really good for college (considering they said I was dyslexic and couldn’t learn). But I kept forgetting those numbers, so I wanted to make sure that I’d written them down somewhere!

So, the lady there said that there was someone looking for secretary work who could write up letters and such for him, and since I scored superbly in my grammar/spelling/vocabulary I’d probably be good for that type of job. The job pays $8.50 an hour, so I told her to go right ahead. Then again, if the job paid $5.15 an hour with chance of pay increases, I wouldn’t mind that either. Some money coming in at a small increment is better than no money at all. She said she’d check with the guy and call me in the morning (tomorrow) and see if she couldn’t get me an interview for that afternoon.

I honestly felt so relieved that someone verified that my skills were good. I was wondering if maybe I just wasn’t good enough...like I had the skills but I wasn’t aware of them. I was so glad the lady was all like “You gots mad skillz!” ...I’m paraphrasing of course...

So that was done, and I was grateful for it. I got home and watched some TV with Mom for a while. We were really just biding our time till American Idol premiered. You know, I realize that on that guilty pleasures list I made, I should’ve put Reality TV, because I am addicted to it even though I think it can be so stupid at some times. I mean like Idol for instance. It’s like a train wreck. You tune it to see the insanity, laugh at people, ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ for a few minutes, and thank God that isn’t you embarrassing yourself up there! Tonight was so funny though. Mom and Dad and I laughed so hard at the people, the judges, each other laughing at the people and judges. It was great.

We missed out on Gilmore Girls and I skipped my Supernatural but since I tape it regularely, it’s ok! I’m not worried at all! I’ll have to tape the next showing of Idol tomorrow though...note to self.

I am now really really tired. I’ve showered and everything, but I’ve been working on this thing (which will eventually be posted in ruby_unicorn) since I got out of the shower. So as soon as I’m done with this, I’ll be sending an old friend a happy birthday message and then I’ll be off to bed. I think I’ve earned it.

Goodnight everyone. All in all, not too bad a day.
