Fighting Distractions

2010-Jul-17, Saturday 10:53 pm
msmoon: (Ice Age - Twitch)
Hiii...


Yeah, I keep meaning to write a blog entry and then...I keep getting distracted or not caring or having something else to do...hate that. And for some odd reason, my Twitter posts haven't been posting <..< hm.


So...what’s new? Well. Paid for tuition at school. Never thought I’d spend so much money on something that wasn’t an electronic o..o’


I kid you not, I just started typing this and then immediately got distracted -..-


Anyway! Yeah...paid for tuition.


Also, my laptop, Makoto? Yeah, it’s sort of gone down for the count. It kept shutting itself off for no reason. I assumed it was that it had somehow over heated and just needed to cool of...but then, the other day, it shut down and started making this very weird buzzing noise in a repetitive almost beep-beep-beep- fashion -..- Bub seems to think it may just be that the fan in it has broken and it’s not turning on until that’s fixed. I’m hoping that he’s right...and that it isn’t too much to actually fix it. We both laughed about the irony. Just about to start school next month and the laptop dies. And I am very unwilling to actually bring it in to be fixed until I’ve bought the books I’ll need for this semester. And no one seems to know what books I’ll need or when I’ll be told what books I’ll need. I’m hoping that is what orientation on the 10th is for.


Oh yeah! Bub is visiting us again. He just moved into a new apartment, but he has literally nothing to put in it as he’s been rooming in a single room no bigger than the size of my guest bedroom. So he came over to stock up. Luckily, Contact was on my Netflix queue, and we just got through watching it. A thoroughly engaging movie if ever there was one. I absolutely loved it :)


Also, I joined a group on FaceBook called
Make a REAL “Gargoyles” movie, Disney!. They say that Disney is looking at making a live action Gargoyles movie...but isn’t basing it at all in or from the old show. So, they’ve given out work addresses and asked fans to write in, with a polite tone, notifying the higher ups on the projects that the original show is what we love. I fully believe this, so I have written up two letters to go to both of the addresses they’ve given us. I really hope they listen to us about this too. It wasn’t too long ago that The Last Airbender disappointed its fan base so horribly, and a few people had mentioned that it was kind of why they were glad no one had tried that with Gargoyles. Kind of ironic really. If they do move ahead with this project, I really hope they realize the gold mine they’ve been sitting on and take cues from the fans.


That’s really all that’s going on...I still haven’t filmed anything new. I really just haven’t been able to force myself to do so. But, maybe I’ll get around to it later on. I did do 4 videos all in one week, so that should buy me some time...least-ways, that’s my opinion of it all.


Well, it’s pretty late and I have to wake up early for church tomorrow. I’ll write later.

 

You Are Massachusetts
You are smart, serious, and quite traditional. You don't have a lot of time for junk in your life.
It's likely that you're well educated and hard working. You live a very goal oriented life.

You are probably socially liberal, but personally quite conservative. You would never be described as wild.

But you're more diverse than people give you credit for. You're equally comfortable at a business meeting and at a rowdy sports game!

Gift Giving

2009-Dec-09, Wednesday 03:19 pm
msmoon: (Christmas Kitty)

OK, so... I already got the gifts for Dad. I got him some thermal socks and there's this stuff that's like thermal wear that people who professionally snow ski use to keep warm, and I got him some of that too. So he's all taken take of. His presents are all wrapped and everything. Mom's were more of a problem since I could only find one of them locally -..- For Mom I got
The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole, but all I really know is it's supposed to ship out on the 14th. I also go her a set of Woodstock Chimes of Venus that only shipped out today... it's estimated to get here on the 11th though, so that's good. For Thomas I got Japanese lacquer rice soup bowl (don't know when they'll get here but it's estimated between the 14th and 17th) and I've already received the Asian Red/Black Soup Spoons to complete the set :) The only real worry is that something doesn't show up in time =..=' But, I'm being optimistic...I can panic later if I have to :)


Anywayz! Being the total selfish brat that I am, I did order a couple of things for myself... though most wont get here till after the first of the year... although I'm going to believe they estimate in the worst case scenario so that you're delighted when it shows up early. I got myself
The Complete Novels of Jane Austen (because it's about damn time), Divine Comedy (hey, it doesn't get more classic than this) and Warcraft: Death Knight ... because I really don't know very much about Death Knights, and I would very much like to. Perhaps I should've just e-mailed in to But Wait, there's Lore! and asked them.... ah well! So! The point is that I've taken care of everything... I think ... I only hope that I haven't forgotten something important.


Well, that's all for now! Later, Sunshines.




Your result for The Harry Potter Husband Test...

Mrs. Lupin

Your perfect HP man is Remus Lupin.

You like a nice, kind guy with a bit of a fierce streak and you don't mind if he comes damaged. Sure, he may take some convincing since his self-esteem's so low, but once you win him over, you know he's yours for life. Unless of course he has an attack of "I'm not good enough" and runs away, but luckily he's also good at making friends who will push him back into line if necessary.

Concerning the Floor

2007-Sep-06, Thursday 12:43 pm
msmoon: (MsMoon's Crescent)
OK! So, Floor dude came over yesterday and looked at the house. He said that in a week (exactly) he will go with Mom to the store to buy the flooring that I want. After we get the floor, he’ll just set the boxes in the house over night…evidently the wood needs to get acclimated to the house’s temperature. So then the next day (Friday of next week), he’ll come and lay the floor. I had thought that I’d just move into my house the day afterward...but my bed’s too much for Mom and I to handle. So, I’ll probably be moving small stuff that I can definitely live without in until Dad comes back in, and then I’ll be moved in for good.


Oh, and for those that care, I have posted a few pics up on my FaceBook. So, if you wanna see those pictures, look for Tracie Marie in the New Orleans group ~..^


Dad, Mom and I all met in town for lunch today since Dad’s going to be heading off shore before I get home. I hope this starts a family tradition so that I don’t have to get a miserable call from him while he’s on the road that he’s leaving. And it was a great meal with great company.


I actually wrapped, decorated, put the card in (and decorated that too), then taped up Jen-Twin-san’s present….and then realized that I wasn’t sure where I should send it to =..= So yeah, I had to e-mail her about that, even though her birthday isn’t until Oct. 23. I like to get things done early so I don’t have to rush when it comes time to actually do them. Don’t judge me. But yeah, I’ve got that taken care of. The place I got the ‘Mouto-chan’s Christmas presents from hasn’t sent me Reiko’s =..= They said it was out of stock and they’d be sending it some time this week /drums fingers on desk. Scamp’s birthday and Christmas presents are wrapped and ready to go. I have Mom’s Christmas present. I’ll get Dad’s closer to Christmas. The only gift(s) I have left are Bub’s…and since he hasn’t so much as called (not even for Mom’s birthday) for two months...I’m not even certain I should get him one. I know I should…there’s just a bit of lingering doubt. The part of me that wants to strike back at him for not calling Mom on her birthday…but I don’t know if I want to be that immature about that. We'll see.


Well, I guess that’ll be all. I don’t have much of my lunch break left. I’ll write later, Sunshines.






You Scored an A



It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors.

If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs.

As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human.

And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.





Harvest Moon

 

Working Weekend

2007-Sep-04, Tuesday 11:08 am
msmoon: (Obsessions)
Whoa...ok so, quite a bit of activity since I last posted. Friday afternoon...we worked a lot in the house. Dad said he’d laid all the trim out so that could paint it all. So, I primed and then painted all the trim that needed it...and aggravated my Syactic(sp?) nerve making it really hard to walk. Dad said that I would have to rest up Saturday because he didn’t want me over there if I was just going to be hurting myself more.


Saturday I was feeling terrible. My whole right leg and part of my right side was really killing me. So, I hobbled around the house for a while, trying to slowly put weight on my leg so that it would just adjust (or I would adjust to the pain, whichever). Mom and Dad stayed over at the house for quite a while, and I made myself useful by doing the laundry and brining them food and drinks.


Reiko called that afternoon/evening and asked if I’d mind hanging out with her for a little while. She said that her grandpa had died the day before and she was depressed and just wanted some company while she did chores and stuff. I didn’t mind since she drives me around and then drops me back off. Plus it’s nice to spend time with her when I can. She actually gave me my birthday/house warming preset. She said she couldn’t wait to give it to me. She got me Stardust...and the page is evidently not fully constructed yet. It’s the blue one on the end. She knows I collect them so when she was on vacation she saw this one and got it for me. Now isn’t that sweet? So, I decided to name her after Reiko so that I always remember where I got it. She had to take care of all her critters and clean up her room a bit. Milo’s cage needed to be cleaned out, her beta fish’s vase needed to be cleaned out, the litter box had to be changed and she wanted to show me her new snake. It’s a pink girl snake, which I assume will look great next to her red snake Mephisto. But we got the chance to talk a bit, and she just needed to keep busy so she wouldn’t be so depressed and she didn’t want to be by herself.


Sunday was Mom’s birthday. I had gotten her Wolfgang Puck 18 Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set, Quigley Down Under, Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats, and Sterlng Silver Filigree Dragonfly Hook Earrings with a matching necklace…that doesn’t appear to be in stock anymore. I had put the Quigley Down Under DVD in a box with the Necklace & Earrings, and I placed the Rachel Ray book against the back of that box and wrapped both together. And I’d been telling her for a while that I had all her gifts taken care of for the year, so she was fairly excited to see what I’d gotten her. So, after breakfast I gave her the small gift that I’d wrapped all together. She opened it and loved everything. Then I pretended to get confused and went in my room and brought out the huge box of pots (which I probably should’ve gotten Dad to do, since it aggravated my back all over again). She really loved all her gifts and was in a great mood before we left for church. Se was bragging about it to everyone she could.


After church, we had dinner at Sicily’s, which I enjoy if only for the salad bar ^..^ ...and desert =..= Heh. But yeah, we were supposed to go to Outback, but there was such a long line that we decided to head over to Sicily’s with my adopted grandparents. I swear, I enjoy throwing a lot of crap in my salad and Sicily’s is the only place I know that has a huge bar just for that. Anyway, after that, we headed home to get the other car. Dad had to go to the nursing home because it was his Sunday to sing. Mom and I headed to Budget Cuts and I got a hair cut (that I’m not totally happy with, but it’s hair, it’ll grow on me). Then we went to Wal-Mart to shop for groceries...and I ended up buying the first season of Heroes...I couldn’t help myself. We got all our groceries and headed home. I ended up watching disc 1-4 Sunday night and I didn’t really get to bed till about 3 a.m. O..o


Monday...I think I slept till around 10. Dad woke me up and I ate breakfast, then I got ready and we headed over to the Nexus again. I painted all of the bathroom trim, which is the only trim in the house that is a different color. Then we realized that we needed to paint the trim around the doors and windows =..= I guess it was more like, I realized the white trim was still on the wall, and Dad realized he’d forgotten to tape off or take off that trim for me to paint. So, after I painted the bathroom trim, I put first coats on all the stair rails, the sides of the stairs and the upstairs rail. Dad had to take a break for lunch, and I figured I would too. We took a break for a while and then headed back. I put second coats on everything and Dad put the first coat on the beams after cleaning them. Then we went to town and looked at trim. I found some that’s partially decent. We ate at Rally’s that night which is one of my favorite places even though I never eat there.


Last night, I got up to disc 6 on Heroes and I started reading Writing Out the Storm. It’s a pretty good book so far, but I’m kinda getting tired of the “Don’t be afraid, just write” theme that keeps repeating in the four chapters that I did read. I’m still planning on reading it though, just to see if it gets better.


I have to say, this weekend without internet wasn’t too bad. It was more like an annoyance than a crisis. The only purpose I had for internet was buying stuff from Amazon (and other places), chatting (which I don’t do much of lately), e-mailing (which no e-mails me much lately), and gaming (which I really want to just quit). It did suck that I couldn’t check mail or anything, but I did that this morning and didn’t have any mail...no love for MM. Sad panda.


Oh well...I’ll go ahead and sign off. I’ll talk later (if/when I can), Sunshines.

 


 


Your Score: House Tully


45% Dominant, 72% Extroverted, 63% Trustworthy



Dutiful. Affable. Total doormats. The kindest and gentlest of the houses, you are of House Tully.

You are a submissive personality, meaning that ruling is not something that intrigues you. You posses an odd kind of wisdom in knowing that the throne has too many drawbacks; your interests are far more domestic. You are no threat to the ruling powers, but your strong loyalties to hearth and home make you too difficult to be bought--and if you can’t be bought, you’re usually destroyed.

You are also introverted. You don’t enjoy broadcasting your devices and ambitions to the entire world; instead, you prefer to confide in a close-knit support system of friends and family. You’re very talkative with those you trust, and you’re the type of person who will review plans endlessly. Trust from you must be earned, and you’re very cautious around new people. In Westeros, that’s probably a good thing.

Perhaps most notably, you are trustworthy. Once you are connected to someone, you will stick with them, come Hell or high water. Your loyalties run very deep, and you’re definitely not the type to run willy-nilly betraying friends and destroying alliances. Unfortunately, you lack both the physical strength and the cojones to stand up to those who do you wrong. To those seeking power, you’re an obstacle--but a lawn mower doesn’t fear the garden gnome. Lions, dragons, and krakens all eat fish like you for breakfast.

Representative characters include: Catelyn Stark, Edmure Tully, and Brynden "Blackfish" Tully

Similar Houses: Stark, Targaryen, and Tyrell

Opposite House: Greyjoy

When playing the game of thrones, you play it as best you can, even when your best isn’t good enough.

Harvest Moon

Bored and Confused

2007-May-09, Wednesday 12:44 pm
msmoon: (Firefly - Going mad)
Gosh…I’m so bored right now…it’s terrible. And I have work to do. I have things going on. But I’m just in this dreary head space. I kinda figured it’s time for a mini update, what with the few things that’ve happened and all, but I’ve been staring at this screen for so long, I don’t know I’d be able to update.


OK! Here it goes. Yesterday, Reiko called me to inform me that she had a lot of crap, but she’d never noticed how much crap she had till she had to move. Yes, Reiko is moved out. She has her apartment which she is in with a friend (having a roomie will help with rent) near by. She had wanted to move farther away, but oh well. I told her that Chibi would be coming home sometime at the end of this month, around the 25th/26th. She said that’d be cool. She was just calling to tell me she had moved. She’d been in the process for a while, but with school and work and the moving and all, she hadn’t had time to call. Oddly enough, I can’t help but feel proud for some odd reason.


I don’t know what’s going on with Scamp and her college schedule. From what I understand, she isn’t sure if they have the courses she wants right now, but she feels like she still has to go because it’d make her mom upset if she didn’t…wouldn’t it be better if she took what she wanted from the college she wanted? Forget the whole “as long as you’re going to school” whatever happened to “as long as you have a goal and you’re working towards it”? Life’s way too short to spend God knows how long in a major you don’t want. But her Mom had told us that she wouldn’t be able to come in June to the Gathering. I had asked her later, when she still thought that school had the course she wanted, and she confirmed it. But with this huge fiasco, I assume she’ll still be busy one way or another. I mean, either she’ll be busy because she’ll decide to withdraw from the local college and go to the other college that Billy found for her, or she’ll be busy at that local college trying to find something worth taking. No matter how I look at it, it confuses me though...


Either way, she’ll be busy. I was really bummed too, because it wouldn’t be the same without her, but I did ask my Twin-san if she would have the free time to go, and she said she’d love to take the ticket if Scampers couldn’t make it. So, at least I won’t be all alone wandering around a giant hotel or anything. That’s good ^_^ And I’ll get to see my Twin…who I haven’t seen since AWAX. It’s been a while. I do feel bad though that Scamp can’t come to the convention…but she’d probably enjoy a gaming or anime convention more...Not to mention that I don’t know how well Scamp would take going to the convention since it’d be a lot of people all together in one place. With her SAD and all, that might’ve been a disaster...I hadn’t thought of that before either…It was kinda inconsiderate of me now that I think about it O.o Asking someone with social anxiety to come to a convention and walk around a hotel crowded full of people…Sometimes, I can be as dense as a wall =.=


Other than that, nothing is new on the Scamp radar…other than me helping her with the banners and buttons on her new Fallena web page ^.^


Oh, today at lunch I went and got the second half of Mom’s Mother’s day present. I gotta remember to e-mail Bub and ask if he’s getting her anything. If not, I’ll just make out a card from both of us. I also need to ask Lori if I can get some wrapping paper and wrap it here if I can’t find time to wrap it at home. I don’t know if I’ll ever be alone in the house, and the box is pretty big…so yeah.

I think that’ll be all for now. I’ll see ya’ll later, sunshines.

[livejournal.com profile] therealljidol topic: What do you like best about where you live right now? What do you miss the most about a place you've left behind?

 

/thinks.………………/sighs. Let’s see how to go about this then. Perhaps it’d be best to explain my living arrangements and then take it piece by piece. I’ve lived all my life in this one town. I’m so far south in South Louisiana, I might be able to sell you what will one day be beach-front property. I’ve seen this town go from boring and normal, to over-crowded and interesting. I have always lived with my parents (Raymone {65} & Clara {56}), who dote on me, and I do dote on them as well. I was taught by their example that showing consideration and affection is most important in relationships. There have been times when my older brother (Thomas {36}) has been in the picture as far as living with us goes, but this is usually, and thankfully, temporary. Our home sits at the front of 2 acres of property, with a whole acre or so of space. On the back of the property sits our rent house. It is a small A-framed house that I hope to live in by the end of the year (and I almost always refer to as ‘the Nexus’).

What do you like best about where you live right now?: Well, let’s see. Every day begins and ends with ‘I love you’s from aforementioned parents. Even when we’re upset with one another, we let our anger ebb and then go about our ways as we always do. We are very happy people, we love to tease one another and laugh with (and at) each other. We are also very open, and I feel as though there is very little (if nothing at all) I cannot discuss with my parents. I often ask their advice when I am considering even small things. Not so much in that I feel as though I can’t move forward without their approval, but because their opinions do matter to me. If I’m going to make a decision then I’ll be the one making it, but that doesn’t change the fact that I like to know where they stand on the matter...yes, I think that answers that nicely.

What do you miss the most about a place you've left behind?: My story hasn’t moved a lot really. We’ve only ever lived in two houses as long as I’ve been alive. I grew up a bit in this house that I’m currently living in....I grew up more in my grandmother’s (Called Mommie by the grandkids) house. Perhaps because I was the baby’s baby, she always seemed to have me over and doted on me more than the others. And then, she died. I was young, and I barely even remember her…it’s mostly feelings, and things I know I should remember, but only have flashes of. When Mommie died, my parents decided to buy her house. Unfortunately, it was always ‘Mother’s House’ for all the kids, and many family members abused that fact. My mom put a stop to that quickly by changing locks and declaring that while Mommie was important and well loved in life, she was now gone and this wasn’t her house any longer. Not amount of sentiment was going to change that. She probably hurt a few people's feelings…but we aren’t the sort that relies on the physical for remembrance.

Hurricane Andrew hit not long after we’d bought the house...thank God Mom had harped on Dad to keep the flood insurance. A subdivision on the other side of the bayou was flooding, so the geniuses of our community decided to let the damn break on both sides, thereby flooding booth subdivisions. Our entire street flooded, and we had 13 inches of water in our house. A centimeter higher, and the water would’ve gotten into the electrical outlets…I don’t know what would’ve happened, and I’d prefer not to think on it. At the time, I thought it was a lot of fun. Hell, Mom and Dad had propped up all the furniture on wooden chairs, bricks and counter tops, and I ended up crawling on top of the couch and sleeping through the better part of Andrew! I woke up and there was water! Inside! I was still just a kid, and having water in your house was almost as good as having an indoor pool ^.^ Once the waters receded, the insurance helped us to remodel the house. Mom was able to take out the old, yellow shag carpet and put in laminate. The wallpaper was replaced as well, and the kitchen was remodeled to her liking.Now, this was truly our house....wasn't it?

...Things were always strange in that house...Mommie had said things before, and I’d felt things before, but no one had bothered to be bothered by it all. Of course, once we moved in my parents started to see these thigns too. Sights of a little girl in an old dress walking from room to room only to disappear…things that would be set in one place only to be found in another, upended and disheveled. I swore I saw things in that house that had no business being there. I hated playing hide and seek in it, because I didn’t feel safe in the darker corners....it just wasn’t right. Luckily, Mommiee had her house on 2½ acres of land, and she had trees all through it. Oak, Pecan, Willow, Magnolia, and others I don’t even remember. I played outside with my rabbit (Thumper) . I climbed trees a lot...and sitting in their branches, listening to the wind and birds...I invented new worlds to escape to when the real one had become too much to bear.

My new house is a comfort because it holds my loved ones and myself in safety (it really is that simple)...and my old house brought a lot of adversity…and sadness, but it also taught me to make lemonade ^.^ Things may not've allways been good, but I learned that life goes on even with the bad. I miss my grandmother, though I’ll never have her back, and I miss her trees that would sing to me when the wind picked up...but I am content with where I am...and I hope to be happy with wherever it is I may go.

msmoon: (Weird Al - ROTFLOL)
For those of you who know me...guess what? I decided to join LJ Idol season 3 over at [livejournal.com profile] therealljidol. /nod nod nod. It was kinda sporadic and totally on impulse, but I figured “why not? I post anyway!”. So if you do know me, you can skip over this post without gaining my fury (yes, my fury which is contained to this adorable little annoyed face ¬.¬). But if you’re in the mood for a giggle, and you don’t mind going over things you already know; by all means, continue reading.


Now, to you newcomers, hello and welcome. After much agonizing over the first entry, I decided to give a brief description of myself (what everyone who thinks they know me knows) and then follow up with something perhaps more my style (probably random and inane). I shall now commence telling you a bit about myself.


The Basics. My name is Tracie Marie. Everyone at work, college and church knows(or knew) me as just Tracie. I later gained the nickname MsMoon after waaaay too much Sailor Moon. I was born and raised and now live and work in southern Louisiana. In fact, I live about 40 minutes south of New Orleans. I was raised by my wonderful parents with the occasional presence of my older brother. My dad is now 65 years old (soon to be 66). He’s worked over 30 years on off-shore drilling rigs. Mom is 56 (they’re 9 years and a few months apart) and a home maker (behold my heroes). My brother just turned 37 on the 19th. My brother and I are 13 years apart. I am 23. I was a daydreamer as a child and I still am today. I love to write, but sometimes it’s better to read (it’s more relaxing, and I don’t have to do all the thinking). I occasionally play World of Warcraft (though not as seriously as some) and Katamari Damacy on PS2. I went to college for a little over 2 years and emerged with my Associates Degree in Office Systems Techonology. I now work in town as a Clerk. It’s been the best job I’ve had yet, if only because my coworkers and I get along so well. I use this journal to try and keep track of old friends (and new ones) while updating anyone who cares for half a second on how my life is going. I also throw in facts that interest me every now and then.


That’s enough of that for now. I think I’ll go ahead with the other half of this entry.……..I’ve no idea what to write. /looks around.

You know, I love Weird Al. I have four of his CDs, and I’m slowly working on getting all the others that came before. Seriously, ya’ll. If you had said 20 years ago that Michael Jackson would be next to nonexistent in the public eye, but Weird Al would still be going strong, somebody would’a called the men in those white coats to come and cart you off. If he can survive this long, there must be something to him, right? So why is it, I get funny looks when I say he’s one of my favorites? At work, a lot of the girls look at me funny whenever I mention him. I mean, there are worse things out there…I’m sure we can all attest to that (and my coworkers who have kids agree with this whole-heartedly!). Oh, sure he may not be the charmer that Orlando Bloom is (who had me at 'Mae govannen'), and he’s not as ripped as Vin Diesel (who I’ve loved ever since Riddick), but you know what? He makes me laugh (and sometimes he has an interesting perspective about things O.o). As far as I’m concerned, I can’t laugh enough. The world is very depressing, and there are things out there that will just rob you of your joy at any second. So why not laugh while you can? So you know what? I can live with lanky and pale and long curly hair...Chicks dig scrawny pale guys right? (I’m sure some do). Honestly, I’ve always based attraction on more of a personal level...I never have found myself attracted to guys that were just "hot". In fact, the one guy that I constantly got hung up on all the time when I was a lot younger was short and partially bald and didn’t have the best of bodies...but you know, he didn’t seem too bothered that I was overweight and ugly. And he really made me laugh. But that probably has a lot to do with the fact that I think I’m physically unattractive, but I still think I’m a beautiful person, so my perception of what is attractive had to change...Deep huh? And to think I started off with Weird Al! Man...I think I just remembered why I like to just let myself ramble so much o_o

All right...it’s 9ish, and tomorrow I start my first day of working 8 – 5. I’ve been working 10 – 5 for a very long time now, and I’ve gotten used to sleeping in till 7. But tomorrow I wake up bright and early at 5:30. Ah well. It’s all gonna be worth it once I can afford to own the Nexus. (I’ll just leave that at that and let those of you who’re new wonder what the heck the Nexus is. God knows I’ve ranted and raved about it enough in the past couple’a weeks =___=). So yeah. Thanks for reading and I hope I didn’t loose you though all that insanity. But that’s all for this entry. Tootles!
 


To those of you newbies who don’t know, I always post a quiz result at the end of every entry just for the heck of it. I enjoy taking the quizes, and it’s something visual to break up all this text. I don’t see any reason not to include that in my LJ Idol entries. So there ya have it. Peace out.

Harvest Moon

Combines & Pasta-tutes

2006-Dec-26, Tuesday 10:03 am
msmoon: (RVB - Red Bull)
Wow...what a day. I have felt so bad every morning over the holidays. It started probably around Thursday morning. I’ve been waking up with a killer sore throat, but normally, I can just drink some hot coffee in the morning, bring a few cough drops with me during the day, and drink hot tea at night and be fine. But it worsened severely over the weekend =,= I think I may have a bit of a head cold, because it feels like the pressure in my head is constantly changing. Sometimes I feel like my ears need to pop or that there’s a vice around my head. It’s not painful, mind you, just awfully tight. Not to mention my sore throat has become more permanent, and I sound like a prepubescent, emo boy. I’m definitely going to be calling our ear, nose & throat doctor tomorrow to see if I can get some sort of shot and stuff to help. But enough about that. Let’s talk about the days that’ve passed so far. Let’s see...when last I left you, I was about to go to lunch with the girls and then from there I’d head over to Chibi’s. All right. Let’s start there...

ISR WorkSaver Systems Christmas Lunch. Ok, so the lunch went very well. This little restaurant is just so charming and so superb. Not to mention that the company was just delightful. Donna and I conspired together to share an appetizer; the crab ravioli in a creamy buttery sauce...exquisite. Hell, I’d go back just to order a few more of those! Of course, Donna reminded me not to over-eat because they had some great deserts here. We immediately planed on sharing a desert. For my meal I had originally wanted to order a four-cheese fettuccini that could come with your choice of chicken or shrimp and with your choice of pasta. But, I think that I always get fettuccini when I go places, so I decided to try thinking outside the box and got a chicken dish that was fried and smothered in cheese. Not a bad dish, mind you, but I’ve also decided never to ask for something else when I know I’m gonna enjoy my original selection -_- We talked so much and just enjoyed Mrs. Ellen & Dr. Bunch’s company. We gave them their gifts (Mrs. Ellen got a very lovely candle and Dr. Bunch got a current Saint’s hat and shirt which he loved). I’m not sure what all the other girls got, but I got a $100 bonus as well from them. They really did not have to do that what with the lovely lunch and all, but it was an unexpected treat. Mrs. Ellen also gave us some great tips for how to ‘inconvenience’ a man without getting charges pressed against you. Donna and I ended up sharing a mudbath for desert ^.^

Sloths’ Con Christmas. We ended up getting out of our lunch a little late, and what with traffic being a nightmare, we didn’t actually get to Chibi’s till 4:20ish. I told Reiko that I had wanted her to actually feel as though she got there early for once...even though she was late too -.- Anywho! They were surprised to see my cousin, but almost instantly accepted her into the fold. In fact all it took was a ‘are you as cool as MM?’ question for them to want to boot me out _ But that’s another story. We all sat down and exchanged gifts and we all loved our gifts. I got both the Moutos gifts that corresponded without actually matching. Chibi and Reiko both received a beautiful hanging fairy from Pyramid Collection and a lovely key necklace, but their gifts were unique to them. I also got Scamp a 60 color pencil set and a year’s subscription to Writer’s Digest. I would’ve gotten her a membership to their book club as well, but her income is substantially less than mine, and it wouldn’t be fair to shove all those books in her face without her being able to actually get them. So yeah. Reiko got Chibi the second season of House, and she got me the first season of Bones. I’m pretty sure that I mentioned that I knew what she got me because of the escapades we had to go through to get it, but if not oh well. Chibi got me a T-shirt of Sesshomaru, a cool kanji mug, and a beautiful necklace; She got Reiko a necklace that Reiko’s always stealing from her (she figured she’d earned it), a kanji mug and a nezu & neko Furuba T-shirt. Very cute. Note: Pictures of this event is up on my FaceBook ^.^ After that, Scamp and I showed them all the benefits of having a GameShark to stop the timer on Katamari & We Love. It was fun for a bit when we could finally impress them by rolling up the world and all. Then we watched the first few episodes of Threshold. Chibi made some (very nasty) onigiri in between brakes (when we had to get up or permanently loose all feeling in our backsides), but we didn’t actually leave till 11. And even then it felt like we hadn’t spent enough time together -.-

Saturday. I was feeling a little more sick Saturday morning, but Mom, Scamp and I had all planned on heading to town to pick some things up. We had to be home before 1 because Mom had a wedding to go to. We got a couple of nice shirts at Avenue and I also bought a few products at Bath & Bodyworks. I was getting low on my pink cherry blossom shower wash, so I wanted to get a bit more, and I’ve noticed that my hands are cracking a bit, so I wanted to get some lotion as well. Well, I got both of those, and then I noticed some caramel corn bodywash/shampoo/bubble bath. I had to get that too! Then a sales lady said if you buy 3 you get 1 free, so I got Scamp some hot chocolate hand lotion (that I’m sure will make all British boys and pert puppies lap right out of her hands ^___^). We went home and just chilled out for a while. Neither of us was feeling that great. We ended the night gabbing our heads off in my room. Bub came in that morning while we were out shopping, so he had to take the guest room. I admitted that I was a fitful sleeper and Scamp said she’d rather sleep on the sofa. So that’s how things went. But before we really called it a night she checked in with her parents who’d called earlier. They said they were picking her up early, sometime Sunday morning because her uncle was coming in and he had gifts for them all. I couldn’t really complain since I’d had her for 5 days or so. I think we finally got to bed around...1ish?..I guess.../shrugs.

Sunday (Christmas Eve). Sunday I felt really bad. I thought maybe it was just because I was tired, but I really couldn’t shake it. After waking up and having breakfast, Scamp and I just hung out in my room till her parents got here to pick her up. We visited for about 45 minutes before they left with her and all the gifts I had gotten for her siblings. We then headed for church, which was very nice. I was nearly falling asleep by the end of it, but I was very hungry. That’s completely new for me considering we used to get up and go to the 8 am service and be out in time for 10:30. No one was really hungry, but we’d all head out to town (if nothing was cooking at home) and arrive just in time for the restaurants to open. Once we smelled the food we were a bit hungry, but even then it was a proper “I really want to eat” hungry. It was more of a “hmm, that sure smells good” hungry. This time we were actually hungry. So we went to Burger King for Bub, Dad and I and Mom got something from Taco Bell (which is not a church ^___^). Inside joke. I quickly succumbed to my illness right after eating and was miserable all day. I did manage to (somehow) get a scene from the book written out. It’s not in sequence, but it is crucial so I wrote it all out before I lost it.

Christmas. Christmas was fun and terrible all at the same time. Bub was just as sick as I was (perhaps worse), but we managed to try and put on a good front for the rents ^,^ We had our traditional breakfast of tomato gravy and biscuits with bacon. Then we exchanged gifts and all, and I really do think that passes entirely too fast. I got a very nice jewelry box, a pretty necklace, and a 60 disc CD holder from the rents. Scamp got me this adorable statue of a baby dragon, who I’ve taken to calling Edger (Eddy for short). I’d been eying him from the Pyramid Collection catalogs, even though I was certain it’d be one of those things I’d never buy for myself. Dad got a gift certificate from Harbor Freight from Mom. And from me he got the Bible Collection (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Sampson & Delilah, and King David), the Smokie & The Bandit Persuite Pack, and The Ultimate Johnny Carson Collection on DVD. Mom got a watering can fountain and the computer game Insaniquarium from me. She got Channel #5 from Dad. Thomas got a “grooming kit” from all of us along with some cash to get more clothes while he’s down here. We all retreated to enjoy our gifts. Note: There will also be pictures of this on my FaceBook.

I cleaned up my room a bit so we could scoot my jewelry box in here and then loaded it up. That got me to wanting to clean for good, and that kept me busy while Dad and Bub watched King David. I realized it had been a while that I’d been cleaning when Mom tapped on the wall and told me lunch was ready. We had roast beef in gravy with mashed potatoes, rolls, green been casserole, and rice dressing. It was wonderful. Then Bub and I promptly went off to be sick and pass out for hours while the rents went and visited other family members who were celebrating at their houses.

I woke up after being asleep for a while and they were back. It was dark, so I asked Dad if he wanted to watch some of the Johnny Carson DVDs with me. We laughed so hard at that. There was this one thing (which will explain the title) where Johnny came out and said that there was a woman arrested for performing sexual favors for spaghetti dinners. She didn’t demand money or anything she just wanted spaghetti. So he said “Does that make her a Pasta-tute?” and Mom like to died laughing! I had to pause it, she was so loud. And I’m not talking about insane giggles neither; no-ho! This was high-pitched, I can’t breath, my sides are aching, Hyena on speed laugh. We ended up laughing harder at her than at the video! She said it almost reminded her of when I was very young and I had read over something about concubines in the bible and I asked if we knew any ‘combines’. Started the laughing madness all over again...

Lord, it’s been a pretty good day. It’d be nice if this sore throat and heavy head would go away, but still. All in all a very nice Christmas. Even if I am more exhausted and sore from all the merry making. Now that I’ve finished up this monumental entry and the e-mal I was writing to Scamp, I’m gonna finish my hot tea and go take my shower. Goodnight.

Harvest Moon


msmoon: (Gasp!)
I was so heartbroken last night. I was about to take my shower, when my moonstone ring slipped right out of my hands, hit the metal shower knob and cracked in two! It was a clean cut on both sides of the band and now it’s two (very nice looking) pieces of moonstone. I consoled myself by remembering that they aren’t expensive, nor are they by any means hard to find. But still, it was one of those moments. I remember thinking “I wonder if that’s bad luck…wait, I don’t believe in luck... O.o” The two halves of the ring are now resting in the little X-men: Evolution Nightcrawler locker that my Twin got for me. The same place everything else that I don’t use but can’t bare to part with goes.

I need to figure out what Scamp’s Christmas plans are...and a few other people’s now that I’m thinking on it. Mom and Dad aren’t sure if they’ll even be here for Christmas because Bub needs a car and they might have to bring their mercury to him for the time being. I might very well be by myself at some point during this holiday. But I only get Christmas day and New Years day off. I certainly hope things at least slow down at work =.=

That’ll be all for now. Ja.

 


 

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Back to LJ World

‘Lo everyone. Man, did I withdraw from LJ World or what? Things have been a perfect mixture of busy and not busy which usually combines to make me too tired to post. Even when I wasn’t busy, I was doing my own thing which, made me busy and therefore made me tired. Either way you look at it, I just haven’t been able to muster the enthusiasm to post.

That’s not to say nothing has happened. I’ve been playing World of Warcraft with my twin a lot more lately, which has turned into something really fun to look forward to. As a consequence, Bonnianne has approximately 470+ pics now =.= I am such a shutter bug. I feel a little bad for abandoning my Troll Jezeth and my Tauren Suzii…but I’m having entirely too much fun with Bonni to really agonize over it ^.^

Mom went for her stress test Tuesday, and they really put her through the ringer. She was actually feeling good till she went and took it…then she took it and felt terrible. It got better yesterday though, and today she’s gone off to Lake Author for the church’s womens’ retreat. She said she wanted to leave a day early to get settled in at her own pace, and she insisted in going in her own car (as opposed to riding with others) because she’s afraid she’ll start to feel bad and want to come home, and she doesn’t want to actually have to ask anyone to drive her home. I’m glad she did...because I ordered her Christmas present earlier in the week and the package is due to come in any day now ^.^ /sneaky.

In related news, my Christmas Gift List now goes as follows...

Dad – Gift Found but Not Purchased
Mom
– Gift Bought. Awaiting arrival
Thomas – I’ve no idea -.-
Gillian – Gift partially purchased.
Chibi – Have gift.
Reiko – Have gift.
Josh – Gift planned but not purchased
Tiffany – Have Gift.
Constance – Have Gift.

...so I’m doing pretty good on that front.

In other news, Gillian sent me the first chapter of her world’s story and I <3 it. It had me all giddy for a second. I will now do a slight voice-over of my internal thoughts as I read over the chapter

aw man! That no-good, dirty, lousy, thoughtless, insensitive jerk! oh why I oughtta…*sniffle sniffle*...Oh good...uh oh...no way! Hmmmmm...ok, maybe...What! Uh huh...uh huuh…uh huuu~uuuh...how cute!..wait…it’s over? Damn!

This concludes my voice over -_-; However, this chapter did further my suspicions that Calypso rocketh my socks. So that’s all good.

My chair squeaks when I recline in it...it’s begun to bother me.

Oh! Also! Sunday, I posted every quiz that I’d taken...leavening me with this blank document. I realized a long time ago that I loved taking quizzes in mass and just wanted to put them on my journal at the end of my entries, right? Well, I’d piled them up on this document, which has my tags all listed on it, and the document ended up being about 32 pages long. Well, Sunday, there were no quizzes left on this document. I’m going to have to restock or something. Don’t worry though, I already headed over to take a quiz to post at the end of this entry ^_~

I can’t remember if there is any other news.../thinks………..nope. Can’t remember. I guess that’s all. Well, gotta finish getting ready for work. Ja for now!

Harvest Moon

msmoon: (Kermit YAY)
WHOOO! What a day it’s been! /hurriedly Ok, work was boring and terrible because Nicole was out because her two girls were sick (one with Bronchitis and the other one’s throwing up or something), and Connie was sorta kinda let go today, but not really...it’s weird. Mrs. Ellen says she’s looking for a replacement, but she’s not officially firing her or anything because we may need her help later. Then Dr. Bunch and Mrs. Ellen’s plane from NY got held up ‘cause the President’s plane was landing, and all planes can’t do anything till the President lands or something. But then they missed their layover in Atlanta and the air port wouldn’t refund them! So Dr. Bunch was extremely upset and he called us at 5 (on the dot) and told us to get 110 copies of his book Back to Fitness and fed ex them to the hotel he’ll be staying at tonight so that he can study up for something he has to do tomorrow. Well we nearly didn’t find them and we were frantic and then we did find them and Karen was like “Why you callin’ us to do this at 5!” and I called and confirmed his stay at the Renaissance in Oklahoma and they shipped them there. /phew. Now on to better things!

Mom and Dad are heading up to Oklahoma (odd coincidence they’ll be up there when that’s where my bosses are huh?) and I’m gonna have the house all to myself for 6 days! Well that’s great only it gets really boring all by my onesies over here. While we were eating this enormous spaghetti Mom had made for me, I mentioned that it’d be so cool if Gillian (my cousin in Abbeville) could come and spend a few days with me while they were gone. She could have the house all to herself when she was here and watch my movies and get on the internet and all, and then we could hang out and just have fun at night. And Mom was like, “Well, Abbeville’s only about 2 hours from here you know...you could call her and ask if she could come.” And I was like. “...I will!” So I called and asked if they could drive her down and then I’d drive her back up. And we compromised at me coming to get her and then them coming to pick her up. Which is just as good I suppose, but Mom and Dad are a little worried about me driving all the way there myself, but I was like ‘ah, I’ll live’ and figured if that’s what it takes then that’s what I’ll do! So, I’m going to be leaving work tomorrow and heading to get her in Abbeville. So, I’ll bring a shirt to change into after work and just drive there. It’ll be easier that way…Mom was like, “Did you tell her to pack?” and I was like, “I’m pretty sure she knows...” We’ve only been talking about what we’d do if we could visit for weeks.

Of course now, I’m like “OMG! My room’s a mess!” so I’ll be tidying up tonight before I go to bed and all. Nothing that huge or anything, just making sure there aren’t coat hangers and clothes all over the floor or anything. And, I should probably clean off my desk...and then there’s the underwear drawers and such…ah screw it, I’m just gonna clean. So, don’t be too surprised if I don’t post much these next few days...although maybe Scampy and I can do a voice post together or something. Oh well. I gotta clean and then shower and then key myself down. Later!

really bad eggs

Beware, for I am: Examinant Examinant

Things have been happening. I just haven’t been writing. Yesterday I played a bit of EQ2 and went over the next two chapters for my EQ Saga. I’ve also been writing a lot of the next chapters of Different from Me. I’ve yet to type them up though. I’ll do that sometime this week if I can manage it. I’m trying to get another chapter out before the whole Mecha Con fiasco starts. I’ve also gotten into this X-men fan fic called Smashing Through the Looking Glass by lilmouse. It’s just really cool and odd. I guess it reminds me of myself (though I do tend to lean more towards odd).

Oh yeah. Met Bub’s new girl friend for the first time today. She reminds me of almost all of the others he’s ever been with. I guess he just goes for that type of girl. Super thin, super beautiful…super...superficial. I dunno. She seems like a nice girl and all but /shrugs. I know better than to get close to any of Bub’s girls. It’s not that they don’t stick around. They tend to linger in fact. But none of them seem very real to me. I guess I’m being harsh...oh well. Time to change subjects then.

I’ve been buying Chibi and Reiko gifts like crazy lately. In this last month alone, I’ve bought at least five things with the intention of giving it to either one of them at some point. I already have their Christmas presents, but then I saw something that totally screamed Chibi and I had to get that for her. Then I saw these things that reminded me of both of them and I had to get those too. I swear -.- Aren’t I supposed to be saving for Mecha Con? Seriously. Oh well. I won’t have to worry about rushing whenever Christmas rolls around.

I guess that’s all for tonight. I haven’t been feeling too great. I guess I’m lucky I got this post in. Talk at ya’ll later. Ja-ne.
