rei2rei s fault :) Not that I’m complaining or anything. Srsly, I’m thanking her for pointing it out. I don’t even have shopper’s remorse. I’m just excited to get my lewt :D...that’s...all I have to say. Ja!
| You Love to Talk About Ideas |
 You are open to all sorts of conversation topics, especially if they are unique or interesting. You love it when a conversation takes you somewhere unexpected. You will talk about anything, even if it's controversial or weird. You aren't shy about speaking your mind. You may shock people with what you're willing to talk about, but at least it's more interesting than discussing the weather. |

That was Monday...I think. We got back and watched more movies of course. Tuesday she started reading Twilight around 1ish, and she didn’t stop till some time after 6. Then...she got her stuff, got in her car and went to Wal-Mart to buy New Moon. O..O Whoops...my bad. Uh, then she read that till about 3:30 in the morning. When I woke up this morning around 11 (yes, we stayed up late so I slept late), she was reading my copy of Eclipse :D spreading the addiction, one person at a time.
As far as movies go, we covered The Flight of Dragons, Hellboy, Labyrinth, The Inheritance, Robin Hood - Men in Tights, X-Men: Evolution Season 1, the first episode of season 2 of X-men: Evolution, and the Pilot of Supernatural. She’s extraordinarily sheltered...so Supernatural isn’t to her taste. She thinks while it is entertaining, it’s too scary. As per my rule, you don’t have to watch everything I like. But if there is a series I like, then I require the first episode to be seen. Then you can decide :) We both love The Inheritance....as does most every girl I know who’s seen it...it’s especially great if only because it’s based on a true story.
Of the movies she wanted to see, we didn’t get to see Legend, Quest for Camelot, and The Goonies....but, I’m not going anywhere and whenever I get my trailer, I’m sure she’ll be about to hang out more often. There’s also Dune and Firefly which, she isn’t sure if she’s seen or not...which, those are the types of movies that if you’ve seen them, you know that you’ve seen them.
....and, tomorrow, after I’ve cleaned up the house a bit and put the laundry on to wash, I fully intend to have a Supernatural marathon. I’ve already got the first disk of Season 1 down...
Oh! When we went to Wal-Mart, I finally found a leather thingy that holds a monthly planner and a note pad along with pockets for other papers. I’d been looking for one for ages and the ones they had just weren’t meeting my needs exactly. Well I got this one, and tonight at church, I wrote! I wrote like 3 pages...which, admittedly, is not a lot. But! When you consider that I haven’t written anything since about a month before the move...it’s progress and that’s what matters. What also matters, is that it’s a section that actually goes in my original about where I left off :) I am pleased with myself, and I hope to keep up the good work. I’m also planning on putting copies of my resume in there for when I got job hunting....it’s a little unprofessional to carry them around in the folder I have that has “Waiting to be Discovered” on the outside :3 Unprofessional but loaded with personality :D
I guess that’s all for now...I mean, I’m sure there’s things to talk about but...meh. When I feel ‘meh’ about an entry, that means it’s time to stop typing :3 Soooo, till next time. ‘Night, Sunshines.
You Are the Artist |
 You are unique and inspired. You aren't happy unless you are making art of some sort. Almost anything can be a catalyst for your creativity. You find the whole world stimulating. You have beautiful visions, and you're good at expressing them. You like people to see what you see. You also have an inventor's spirit. You're always thinking up new ideas and concepts. |
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! |
I was bored…that is my only excuse. And in my boredom, I looked at my collection of DVDs, then at the boxes in the living room….and back…and forth and decided that I had to do something to at least make some of this day worth my getting out of bed. All of my movies (save for 1 that I have loaned to Lori) are in a box. One box.….I don’t know whether to be more impressed at my packing skills…or the size of the box. Of course, I scowered the house for empty boxes…the left-overs are sitting in the living room…Mom would pitch an unholy fit.
But, I do have at least a week and a half before I really have to worry about that, and that’s plenty of time to organize everything. In the mean time, I’ve ordered some of the things that I wanted for my bathroom. I got a Lotion Pump, Tooth Brush Holder, Soap Dish, and Toilet Seat all for my bathroom. I also bought this 4-Piece Bedding Set which I can’t wait to get……….I also got Transformers: The Ultimate Guide…but..uh, that was just to make the order have free shipping and…oh, shut up. Don’t judge me. Now all I have to do is manage to leave enough money left over one week to buy the next season of Bones =..=’ I’ll figure it out.
I do hope that with so many diversions out of the way, I might actually be able to accomplish some writing. One can at least hope. Anyway, now that I’ve managed to accomplish so much, in so little time, with so few resources…(or something like that), I’m off to go and watch some of my movies before I have to tape up the box and go on sabbatical. Either way, I’ll write later, Sunshines.
| You Are 34% Scary |
 You scare men off ocassionaly, but only very weak men. You're a normal woman. You're not perfect, but you're pretty darn close. |
I updated my movie list, beings as I’ve bought a couple of new things recently (or had things bought for me. Whichever). And then I decided to go ahead and pack up all of my box sets of shows and anime. It took two boxes to do, and I have cataloged these boxes with ID numbers and everything.
Reiko called me Friday afternoon sometime because she really wanted to inform me of this web site called TV Links (yet another great way to waste time). She discovered it and found out you can watch TV shows, Cartoons, Movies, Music Videos and the most important part (at least to Reiko) Anime. So, she introduced me to the first four episodes of Petshop of Horrors which is a very Reiko anime...I don’t like the tragedy that’s in every damn episode, but I did enjoy the depiction of the Kirin/Kilin and Medusa. That was awesome. I’d seen an image of a Kirin before (other than the kick-ass character that’s in CSHayden’s gargoyles fanfiction) and the thing I saw was not in any way appealing. At least PSOH got the image to look decent.
Something really...awkward happened Saturday. It’s a little weird and very painful, and extremely feminine, so I shall put it behind a cut so that no one feels forced to find out what happened.
I sure hope this day goes by quickly. Mom said that we would try to get in the Nexus and dust off the walls and stuff. That way when it comes time to pain, there’s nothing in the way...I don’t know that I ever fully understood that, but whatever. If it speeds the process along, then that’s fine. And that’s gonna have to be it for me today. Mostly because I just can’t think of anything else to write. Later, Sunshines.
| Your Love is Based on Friendship |
 For you, chemistry doesn't really happen without compatibility. Companionship and openness are the most important parts of your relationships. Whoever you love should be your best friend. And falling in love with a good friend is never out of the question. Why your love can last: You only fall for people who you truly understand... and who truly understand you Why your love can fail: Sometimes you don't admit how important physical chemistry is to you |
PS: Oh yeah, I totally forgot, but my Aunt Batty went to better doctors (ones that don’t think she’s just a dramatic basket case), and they found out it’s her gallbladder that’s giving her the problem. Lori says there’s this nerve called the Vagas nerve (pronounced like Vegas) that runs from the gallbladder to the heart and if that starts acting up it can feel like heart problems. So, Mom and Dad are still on for going to Colorado on the 28th. Which means that when Scamp comes down we’ll have the house to ourselves...and she’ll be able to keep Fred company ^..^
Funny thing, Mom, Dad and I all went to town today. We went to Sam’s and they made the mistake of letting me wander down the DVD isle. They got me Twister, King Arthur, Hidalgo, A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden. They were all like $5 - $7 so I figured, it was worth it. Hell! If they’d had Troy in the Wide-Screen or extended edition format, I’d gotten that too ^_______^. For now, I’m enjoying things, because life is good. Now that I’ve updated the DVD Collection list accordingly, I’m continuing to watch season 4 of the X Files that Lori loaned me. I’m hoping to have it back to her sometime next week.
Other than that, I just need to contact my Twin-san and see if we can start playing Warcraft like we used to. Sure, Burning Crusade isn’t out yet, but that’s no reason not to build up what characters we do have. Then again, Rhi and Lianora are probably so higher up than Bonnianne that it’s not even funny. Kharaja and Karashi have probably surpassed Jezeth too, considering how much they enjoy playing trolls. The ones I’m pretty sure have gotten no attention are their Night Elves, Finathren and Ceire…they always played with Qiralyn and we only played the Night Elves when we were wanting something different from the other two groups. This is all speculation of course...I really should get on and play Suzii and Isiya. Suzii’s my Tauren shaman and I enjoy playing her a lot. Sure, her jokes are lame, but she’s a lot of fun to me. Isiya has cooler jokes (being undead and all), but I’ve yet to get as into the character. Oh well. I can’t wait till BC comes out.
Ok...that’s all for today. Ja!
 | You scored as Faerie. Faerie: Aren't you a cute little flying person? Faeries are earth spirits. They live among each element completely hidden. They have cousins called Pixies. Pixies however, are very mischevious. They enjoy tormenting other creatures for fun. Little pranksters.. I hope you never meet one. Pixies have a bad reputation for finding a creature and clinging to them until death.

I’ve already paid all my bills, so I’m hoping to have a bit of spending money for movies and such.... I’m not sure. If I make the usual $300+ then $100 will automatically go into Savings, leaving me $200+. You know me with my money plans; if I don’t have a plan for my money, I’ll end up spending it all. I definitely want to get V for Vendetta, the four disc box set of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Lady and the Tramp because Disney has made it clear they’re pulling the last two back into the vault at the end of the month (and I’m buying V ‘cause it rocks my soxs). I already bought the special edition of Bambi the other day at Sam’s. I checked there for the other movies while I was there, but it’s cheaper at Amazon.com if you can believe that. So, as soon as payday rolls around I’ll make another Amazon purchase. But I was thinking of buying other things...maybe something other than movies >.>... Because we all known I need to increase my DVD collection...<.< Not sure. We shall see (I’m open for suggestions ^_^).
I finally got the chance to talk to Scamp Saturday. We musta been on the phone for about two and a half hours. It was fun just to talk and catch up. Without the computer and being able to post and send e-mails at any time, it feels like we haven’t been communicating properly. She said she would be writing me back soon and enclosing Lacey and Jade’s portraits to add to my Scamp Art© binder ^.^ That’s always really cool to hear.
I said earlier that there were some things I’d been stewing about lately. Well, after getting along so great with me and my parents, Dad and Mom brought up the option of Scamp moving in over here. Then they said it might be better for us to move into the A-frame house and live there. The rent would be reduced to $100 a month instead of the usual $400, but it still wouldn’t be a free ride. Of course, if we could both have jobs and such at the time, it’d be a very nice living. When I called, I talked about the A-frame with her, and she said even if it would be small, it’d still be nice. We already talked about how we want to decorate it. The bathroom/washroom would have the mermaid paintings and such from Pyramid Collection. The kitchen would have a dragon décor, beings as the kitchen represents fire and all. The living room would have the lotus decorations, because lotus is more soothing and peaceful and we see the living room as a room where you go for conversation or TV watching and such and you want that to be peaceful. My room, I want the fairies from Pyramid, just because Pyramid’s fairies look better than most. Scamp said she might save big time and decorate her room with swords and such from the Lord of the Rings section on the Nobles Collection. The only thing I’m not sure about is all the eastern art and décor I have in my room right now. I kinda don’t want to get rid of that, but I’m not sure if it’ll go anywhere in the house...we’ll see. It might-could fit in the lotus living room. The next thing I worried about was furniture. I can keep my bed of course. But chairs and such for the living room might be a problem. But I told Mom that, and she assured me that between garage sales and local thrift stores it shouldn’t be too hard to find some cheap furniture. All I really want for the living room is a few chairs and end tables next to those chairs. No coffee table...we’re both a bit klutzy and there’s very little room, so I can’t see having a coffee table. The only other issue would be the computer issue. I mean, we might-could fit a little computer desk in the nook behind the stairs where my closet would be...but after thinking about it, I thought it might be easier if we got Scamp a laptop (at some point), and then put my computer upstairs with me in my room, and got a wireless router that would transmit internet wirelessly to her lap top and she could use that anytime in her room and not be limited and have to either come up to my room (which would kill her, because those stairs are very verry steep), or go to the living room. Ideally...it might just be better if we both had laptops, if only because it’d save a whole lotta space =____=’ Chibi had a very nice Mac LapTop...I might-could start looking at prices now...But now I’m just over thinking everything. But, hell! It’ll be my first time living on my own...I think I’m entitled to over-react if I wanna.
Oh! I almost forgot! Scamp told me that Sev had wanted her to dress up as a peep for Halloween. And I was like “Oh! That’d be so cool if you modernized it! Like, get a sequin, sparkly, slinky dress in purple, and have a peep-chick head as a hat! Oh!! And then I could get a blue sequin, sparkly, slinky dress, and have a peep-bunny head on top!! And we’d be themed!!! That’d be so cute!” and she’s like, “Stop taking his side! You traitor!” I still think it’d be very cute...I can’t help it. I love peeps -.-
I suppose that’ll be all for now...the weather’s making it really hard to stay awake, much less concentrate on typing. I might try to write a bit again later if I can. Ja.

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.
| Your Five Variable Love Profile |
 Propensity for Monogamy: Your propensity for monogamy is high. You find it easy to be devoted and loyal to one person. And in return, you expect the same from who you love. Any sign of straying, and you'll end things. Experience Level: Your experience level is low. You've probably either had only one relationship.. Or all of your relationships have been very similar. You still have a lot to learn... and a lot to try! Dominance: Your dominance is low. This doesn't mean you're a doormat, just balanced. You know a relationship is not about getting your way. And you love to give your sweetie a lot of freedom. Cynicism: Your cynicism is medium. You'd like to believe in true and everlasting love... But you've definitely been burned enough to know better. You're still an optimist, but you also are a realist. Independence: Your independence is high. You don't need to be in love, and sometimes you don't even want love. Having your own life is very important for you... Even more important than having a relationship. |
…That’s all.
But enough about me feeling like petrified crap. Today Mom woke me at 10 to go to town. I needed to drop Reiko’s birthday present to me in the bank so I could buy something. Then we stopped at Target to see if they had any more of the art that I was hoping for but no luck there. We did find a DVD rack that was selling their DVDs for $3.98 or something like that. I got Fun with Dick & Jane, Memoirs of a Geisha, The March of the Penguins, Spiderman 2, and UltraViolet. Not a bad haul considering it was all $22 something. And that was just Target. When I got home, I ordered Races of Destiny (Dungeons & Dragons Supplement), Field of Dreams, The Pacifier, The Mists of Avalon, Pride & Prejudice, and Smokey and the Bandit Pursuit Pack. So my DVD collection just increased significantly. Probably shoulda asked around about The Mists of Avalon since I never did see it...But I figured it was only $9 so it couldn’t hurt.
I am so sore...I’m gonna go finish my black-berry tea and watch another movie.

The next day (yesterday), I had my OBGYN appointment at 9. Luckily for me, they’re prompt and efficient along with being friendly too. I got a 3 month sample of my birth control pills and a prescription for when those are over with. When I got to work, they asked how it went and what I’d gone for because all I’d told them was I had a doctor’s appointment. I said, “I took off my Wonder Woman underoos, put on my big-girl drawers, and went to my OBGYN.” We all laughed at that.
Yesterday we got about 16 charts in the mail and the day before that we had 13…..my estimate for today? Close to 200. They’ve been doing that the past week or so. Earlier in the week, or mid-week, there aren’t that many charts coming in, but Thursday and Friday suck! It doesn’t bother me too much, because it means that I have plenty to do from the moment I sit down till it’s time to go. Like, yesterday was tough for me at first because I’d finished all my work and there was very little to do. Lacey had done all the copying and our shredder died on us (rest it’s poor little mechanical soul) so I was like “I need something to do.” Luckily there’s always something to do, even if it doesn’t fall under my job criteria. So when Nicole left, she handed me the 800+ invoices that she’d been saving up that were supposed to go in folders in one of her drawers and asked me to put them in order. The folders that she has are categorized by the name of the companies and she prefers to have the most recent towards the back. So I worked on that after she left at 2. I was happy to say that I got all the way up to the company Foundation Coal done.
I don’t know why, by my mouth has been really soar lately...like the inside, all around my lips. It aches and itches and when I eat, it feels like sandpaper rubbing against my mouth. It’s really bad. And this morning, I noticed that my eyes were itching too…I hope it’s nothing. But I’m gonna ask the nurses this morning when I go in what they think of it. Lori worked in ICU for a long time and she’s seen a lot, so she’s got a wealth of knowledge when dealing with things like that. Either way, I’m glad I have my benedryl handy in case the itching should get too bad. Of course, that’ll put me in a proverbial coma, but at least I won’t be itchy.
I guess that’s all for now. Hope everyone else is having a better week than me =.=

PS: Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Last night I impulsively bouth the 3rd and 4th seasons of Batman the Animated Adventures. I really just wanted to have at least one complete fandom in my DVD collection, and that was not only cheap but easy to get. So yay for me and my Nerd Card. On the flip side, I won't be buying anything (for myself) for a very long time.
Ok, so I went to Target to get something to ship Chibi’s birthday present in...and dummy-me, I bought a 3 pack that was too small =.= Note to self – 6 in X 9 in is not big enough. So tomorrow I’ll be dropping by Wally World on my lunch hour to pick up something a tad bigger. So I may mail her gift tomorrow afternoon...or not. I’m not sure. It’ll either be tomorrow or the next day. I may just ship it out tomorrow and write “DO NOT OPEN TILL OCTOBER 13 ON PENALTY OF DEATH!!!!BLARG!!!” on it or something. I’ve yet to decide.
Oh! I did manage to get a few things at Wally World though. I got a nice curtain rod that Mom doesn’t think will work for my curtains that are coming in with my bed spread. She says the …deep pocket curtains so I need a deep pocket rod. I said we could improvise but she advised me to keep my receipt just in case /shrugs. I also got half of Gillian’s Christmas present /rubs hands together gleefully She’s never gonna see this coming ^____^ oh, and I went by the 2 DVDs for $11 bin and found Now & Then on DVD. Coolness no? I should look through those DVD racks more often...then again, I’d probably be poorer...which isn’t much of a stretch to the imagination.
Speaking of spending money, I also got Tiffany and Constance their Christmas gifts. I just don’t feel good about getting stuff for Gill and not the others. Although it does make me feel a little more out-of-the-loop when it comes to my cousins. Josh is relatively easy to shop for really =.= But I really didn’t have a clue as to what to get Constance or Tiffany o.o It makes me feel bad about not really knowing my cousins that well. Oh well.
Oh yeah, and the really funny thing that happened tonight – I was settling in to bore myself into a sleep-ready state (which almost always means watching old DVDs that I’ve seen 2 billion times), when my DVD player started skipping and making weird noises. I figured, there were scratches on the DVD. So I get out of bed, get the disc and prepare to clean it...but there aren’t any scratches (there never were any scratches O.o the matrix has you! /cough cough), so I put it back in and after about 3 minutes of groans and creaks, my DVD player informs me that there’s no data on this disc and there’s an error…w…t…f…mates? I put another DVD in to check it and put the first one in the computer; the second DVD wouldn’t come on and the first one played just fine on my computers DVD player. So, in conclusion, my uneducated opinion would be that my DVD player is broken…/sniffles I’m gonna miss this one. It’s been with me almost 2 years now...G’bye, Francine.../places DVD player in a whole in the back yard and plays Taps on a trumpet
MM’s Mom: Oi...you’re making your uncle’s dogs bark. Would you quit being so sentimental...it’s just a DVD player! /slams door
...right. So, I’ll probably stop by Wally World for that too tomorrow =___= Woe unto me...verily and thus.
………………………………………….I think that’s all. Night!
PS: OH! Yes! I would like to happily inform everyone that today for the first time in a very long time it only too $19.20 to fill up my car when it was on empty! Yes!!! The Puma is rockin’, baby!
Ecstatic
Ok, I am so happy that I don’t even care that I’m broke. Really. It’s that great. I really need to slow down and explain. Ok...
Saturday when I said that not much had happened that day, that was not quite right. A lot did happen on that day. First off, Mom and I went shopping. I bought myself a very adorable golden crescent moon necklace. It’s a simple little thing but I think it’s beautiful. Mom also paid me back for the money I used to get her medicine, and that gave me plenty of money to put into my bank account. So I went home and went onto Amazon.com and bought Threshold. It was all there, nice and ready for pre-order and just calling my name. So I figured, ‘to hell with it’ and just bought the thing. It comes out officially tomorrow. I can’t wait to get it.
So Saturday I got some new pants and a new necklace and Threshold. Sunday, I put up the MechaCon 2.0 page and updated the convention section with new graphics and all. That’s been my weekend.
Today, work was ok. We logged 86 charts. I then checked the charts for the nurses (basic stuff like heart rates, grip strengths and such). The poor nurses have been swamped with charts. So much so that they can’t really get to the ones that come in right away. And it doesn’t look as though we’ll be getting any help any time soon. The copy machine broke though, and Karen called up to warn me ahead of time so that I wouldn’t have to heave a heavy load down the stairs for no reason. That was a bit of kindness.
Other than that, I’m waiting for Friday to get here. I plan to do two things. 1) Pre-order Supernatural; 2) Buy a month (or more) subscription to World of Warcraft. I told my Twin I’d start playing it after Mecha Con, but I forgot in all the...hoopla. Then I spent too much money at Mecha Con and other stuff. Now, she’s moving and she won’t have the internet till like, the 29th or something. So I’m gonna order it on the 25th and get my character up and running. Try to learn the basics of the game and all. Then maybe we can play together. Lord knows it’s been so long since we have. Just thinking about it takes me back...
I guess that’s all for now. I’m gonna relax a bit and then hit the hay. It’s been a long day. G’night.

Blah
I have a confession to make...for the last couple of weeks, I have taped and watched Angel. It comes on for two hours early in the morning. 5 and 6 a.m. to be more precise there. I saw it back when I had to wake up early for work, and it interested me...I think it was the episode where Conner dumped Angel into the ocean and Cordelia was ascended to the higher plane. And I kinda just wanted to see what would happen, and I wasn’t willing to get up early to watch it. So I set it to tape...when will this madness stop? For God’s sake, people! I mean, ok…I’m giving this series a chance because it’s Joss Whedon, but even I can only take so much. /sigh
Anyway...on to other things. My work schedule is changing yet again. But it’s nothing bad or anything...depending on how you look at it. Boss lady wants me to come in super early so’s I can work on the filing in the back room without over-heating. Then she figures I can take a break for a few hours and come back and work till five. So I’ll be working from 7 – 11 in the back (and as that’s four hours and I only need 6 ½ each day, I only need 2 ½ more), so I’ll come back at 2:30 and work till 5. But I’m only going to be doing that in the latter part of the week, like Thursdays and Fridays. Which means that Drama-Free Thursday and Casual-Dress Fridays are as good as dead to me. Sorry, Poppy-kun. But, if I can get more done, I’ll try not to complain about it.
In other news, I got two packages in today. I got, The Silver Stallion and Epic in. Although, it sounds a bit dramatic to be calling him ‘Epic’...so I think I’ll just call him...Bert. /nod nod nod I like Bert. Now, I’m kinda wanting to buy some other horses from them. They have so many pretty horses...pretty pwetty horses.../shakes head uh, yeah. So, maybe I’ll think about that.../blink blink. Also, I decided to update my ‘Movie List’, and I’ve actually made a tag for the Movie List. That way I wont have to go hunting through the ‘lists’ and ‘movies’ categories. ...I’m an obsessor. Sue me ¬.¬ Anyway. Here’s the new Movie list.
I suppose that’s all for now. G’night crazies.
| Fire -5 Earth, -2 Air, 5 Fire, 2 Water |
| You have one of the seven Fire personalities. Fire is cleansing and destroys impurities and wrongness. Fire personalities like to focus on what is right: morally, ethically, and just plain correctly. As a Doctor, you would be most interested in indetifying the patient's problem so you cut it out or kill it or whatever.
OKC won't let me list all 52 categories, so I've had to bundle seven categories into one here. Take a look at your score to find the exact category that applies to you below, then find the blurb about the category the most suits you father below. Remember that the subcategories listed here assume you already had the scores to put you on this page, so don't try to use the subcategories on someone else's page. High is +5&up, Low is minus 5&down.
Fire High, Earth&Air Low: Strict Moralist Fire High, Earth&Water Low: Strict Philosopher Fire High, Water&Air Low: Strict Engineer Fire High, Earth Low: Scholar Fire High, Air Low: Tradionalist Fire High, Water Low: Idealist Fire High, nothing Low: Pure Fire
IdealistYou are the Idealist. The most important thing to you is what is right, and it seems a bit odd to you that this isn't true for everyone. Come to think of it, you may not be convinced that this isn't true for everyone, at least at some level. Your friendships are generally based on aquaintances, and you have a stronger tendency than most to lose track of people if there isn't some other reason to come in contact with them. When you hold a belief, you tend to hold it strongly or not at all. Middle ground isn't your forte. Pure FireAll fire personalities are concerned with what is right, but there are a lot of different kinds of "right" to choose from. Something could be right because it helps people, or right because it is logically correct, or right because it makes something function properly. Your personality is relatively balanced in the types of "right" that have importance to you. Which is the most important one to you that shifts based on where you are, who you are with, and what you are doing. ScholarYou figure that the best questions are the ones that give you some insight into the truth. Your personality revolves around what it right, and you are somewhere in between the moralist and the philosopher in terms of your outlook on life. Work to you means figuring things out, not building them. Many science fiction authors show world where robots and similar technology take care of all the mundane work, and that would suit you just fine. Strict EngineerOf all the engineering personalities, this is the one most concerned with what is right. You are suited to the life-or-death engineering problems that face the world, like making sure that airplane wings don't fall off. The rumor is that you don't have social skills. Actually, you can be quite polite and charming when you put your mind to it. That just isn't a priority. Putting wild and crazy untested ideas into practice isn't so much your thing, unless "putting into practice" can include a whole lot of refining and perfecting along the way. Strict MoralistYou know what is right and what is correct, and your philosophy is grounded in what is right for people. You have the tendency to get carried away with your ideas and maybe impose them on others from time to time, and sometimes what is right isn't the same as what is easy, but even in the most confusing of day to day situations, you see through to the essence of the matter to find what is right, or more often what is wrong. Your demanding nature can be a bit hard on relationships, and people who want to run off and start things without a plan can lose their patience with you at times. Strict PhilosopherThe strict philosopher is creative, and channels that creativity through a keen sense of the way things should be. Your best ideas come when reacting to material from others. Often seing a mistake in what someone else does suggests what is right to you. Your closest friendships are with people who understand that you don't need to be mushy to show affection, and probably tend towards devices like sarcasm. You get frustrated with people who go off half cocked on a project and have to do thing over because they didn't do them right. TradionalistYou are most comfortable when there is a structure to the way things are done and people respect that. You don't have a particular problem making friends, but are selective about who you will make friends with and who you will stay friends with. This isn't being disloyal --- you are quite loyal to those who do right by you --- but you keep the bar high for membership to that inner circle. Chaos is not something you enjoy in your life, and you find it easier to get things done when you have the time to make sense of everything first. Interested in other categories? Try these links.

...What...the hell? (why’d you raise your eyebrows when I said ‘hell’? Preacher said it 15 times in his sermon last Sunday; I counted). I thought I was Earth or Wind...But fire? Pfft.
