OCD+ADD=OMG

/AHEM. .... Right. So I gave Dad his present from me, and it was these velvet boxer shorts with a red hem, that had small bells attached to them... and a long green pointy hat :D Mom and I laughed about that every time he looked at it. I told him, "Now you can't sneak up on Mom!" ... we also told him that he probably shouldn't wear those on the rig :3. For Mom, she opened her Nat King Cole sings Christmas CD :) She was very pleased with it, because she does love Nat King Cole and her favorite time of the year is Christmas. Probably because her father was a tyrant who never let them celebrate. At least that's our excuse for indulging her :)

Now, as for yesterday, I was very pleased with how things went. Aside from the fact that I had to operate Zeiss (my camcorder) and my picture camera, everything was wonderful (it's a legitimate complaint! If you try to operate two mediums, one will ultimately suffer!).

We had tomato gravy and biscuits for breakfast, read the Christmas story like always and then I played "Santa"..... which is an odd term, since I've never believed in Santa <..< Curious... Anyway! Dad went first. I had gotten him some Rocky Mountain thermal clothes and some Rocky Mountain socks. They're made specifically for those who live/work/paly on snow covered mountains. He was thrilled with them, to say the least :) Mom got him a beautiful leather jacket too, and he was very pleased with that (I think it made up for the whole elf boxers the night before :D).

Mom was next. She opened two gifts from me. I got her a small travel bag that holds your make up and bathroom stuffs because I saw her admiring them for a while now. She always thinks it's too vain to get herself one for some odd reason, so I decided to do it for her. And then she opened the win chimes. She was very thrilled with those as she hadn't expected them :) Dad got mom that enormous jewelry box, and at first she was a little skeptical. It doesn't look like there's any room in there, but when you open those doors... you're amazed with it o..o' Dad complained a little, because when we opened the box, we quickly realized that we had to assemble the base of the monster -..- Assembly is the bane of our lives, I swear. But Mom also got a huge crock pot, and she'd been wanting one for ages :)

I had an enormous gift under the tree along with my presents from Reiko. It was a huge tote/suitcase for scrapbook craft stuffs. What was really funny, was when I opened it up to look inside, and there was a K-Mart bag inside with a bag that held 3 men's v-neck shirts! Mom had evidently bought that ages ago and put it there then forgot :3 But other than that, the things was empty and enormous with tons of pockets and pouches. I had fun taking everything I had assembled or collected as crafty stuffs out of the dilapidated cardboard box and putting them into my new ... thingy. I still am not sure what to call it. Craft Suitcase? Needless to say, it's about halfway full :) It weighs a ton too o..o' But I moved on to Reiko's gifts. She got me a very impressive set of dragon-grip daggers, Spirited Away (anything by Miyazaki is worshiped) and ... a pair of abalone crescent moon earrings. It's the thought that counts on the last one, and they are beautiful. I told Mom, since I don't have pierced ears, maybe I can take the charms off the earrings and fit them to a necklace or something. The daggers are freakin sweet too :D I mean, I pulled one out of the box and Mom's eyes got as big as saucers! It was pretty awesome. Over all, it was a really good Christmas.

Today hasn't been too great, for me at least. I'm still not feeling that great, but I've been pushing myself to at least try and be normal. First fir the job interview, then yesterday for Christmas and today we the church's Christmas choir production. Alicia's in Kentucky now, so the only one to help do the sound system is Mom, Brother Sam or Brother Gary.... and Brother Gary and Brother Sam are IN the production... and Mom's sick. So, I just decided to suck it up and go. The choir actually went off really well... the whole thing was nice. Unfortunately we all have to come back tonight, and I have my class to teach =..= It's not that I don't like my class or anything, it's just that I'm really not feeling well. But I'll make myself go tonight, and I'll try to take it easy tomorrow. I was going to go and hand out resumes again tomorrow... but I think I'll wait till Tuesday =..=

I guess that's all for now. I just figured it'd be a good time to update, since I never tweet on Sundays. Plus a lot of stuff had happened :) I guess I'll talk later, Sunshines.

You Should Write in a Journal

Part of what's stressing you out right now is not having all your thoughts sorted out. There's a lot of confusion and chaos going on, and you need to get a handle on it all. And there's no better way to do that than to start writing. At first your journal make not make sense to you, but that's okay. Just writing things down will help you. Over time, you'll find that it's great to have an outlet to think, vent, and dream without judgment. Just make sure to put a lock on that journal!

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.

That said, today wasn't that bad. It wasn't good, and I don't look forward to repeating it ever again, but it wasn't as bad as yesterday. But then... yesterday we were expecting a lot out of this place, and were unpleasantly surprised with how terrible it was. Today, all we did was hang about in mingle. There were a few interruptions to our own distractions (jumping rope, jaunts around the place, family photos and hoola-hooping, which reminded me of Scamp), but over all, it was just folks talking and having fun with each other.... them as could that is. My Uncle Buddy is known for being a stick in the mud, and he did not disappoint at this gathering either. But he had a bunk... so he confined himself there and left the rest of us to enjoy ourselves.

Scamp ended up not coming... and then having no reason not to come, which was a bummer. She had to stay home and watch her niece, Tiffany's daughter, who was still feeling ill, because Tiffany would be working. Well, after my Uncle Steve and Aunt Jane left and got here, Tiffany returned home from work saying that she was feeling sick... so she could have come if she would've known -..- But anyway. I had brought Scamp's Birthday+Christmas gift to give to her, and she had given my Birthday+Christmas present to Aunt Lane in case she couldn't make it. So, I gave her present to Uncle Steve. Anyway! Her gift to me is this cool owl with it's wings outstretched, and there are key hooks on the feathers for keys :D It's so cool. Immediately, I started thinking of alternate ways to use it.... like, instead of using it as a key rack, I could put it at the top of my office window and hanging sun-catchers from it instead :D That'd be cool. Still...maybe it'd be better if I just used it as what it was made for .... still :)

The Family photo session was a chaotic mess, but a fun chaotic mess. There were times when I wondered why we had thought we could accomplish such a gargantuan task... but, in the end I think we pulled it off as best we could :)

I hung about with various people, but I think I had the most fun with my cousins Angel and Pat. They're just fun chicks to be around. Not that I didn't enjoy any of my other Aunts/Uncles or Cousins, those are just the ones that stick out (just like always).
Now that I've had a shower, I do feel a bit better. I still can't wait to leave...but at least it hasn't all been terrible.

Oh well. I guess I have nothing else to really say. From here we go to Aunt Batty's (hallelujah), where there will be internet connection (Hallelujah!). I'm very much looking forward to seeing Houma again. I really can't wait. Sure, I won't be in my bed or taking a shower in my shower, but the facilities are much more accommodating than these.

I think I hear Mom and Bernadine getting out of the bathroom. I'm gonna go ahead and go blow-dry my hair. I really can't afford to leave it wet right now -..- Goodnight, Sunshines.

You Should Teach Fifth Grade

You are laid back. You have a great sense of humor and figure "kids will be kids." You have a lot of energy and endurance. It is hard for kids to wear you down. You're able to roll with a rowdy classroom if you need to, but you also know how to keep students in line. You are flexible and spontaneous. You can throw the whole plan out the window, if you need to.

What Grade Should You Teach?

Uhhh, I had to order that charger from Amazon to get Makoto up and working. I mean, I tried just holding the charger in place and hoping it'd charge but, no dice. So, I finally have my charger :D It came in and Makoto is back to 100%. Thank you, Amazon.com :)

So! Let's see....I should probably make a list of things to discuss since it's been almost a week. Alicia and I met Tuesday night at Uncommon Grounds. I busted my bum to get what little I have of my original story typed up properly and put into a folder so she could take it and read it. So far, her only problem is that there's so little of it =..= I'm hoping that if we keep meeting regularly, that I'll find some motivation to write more :) Lord knows, my original needs all the help it can get.

Hey, Scamp? How much of my original did I actually send to you o..o? I'm wondering if I actually have more now or if I sent it all to you...

You know something else that's been bothering me? I have been swinging for about 3 weeks or so now, and it still hurts to do it most of the time. I thought you were supposed to exercise for a time, and then your body would adjust to that and it wouldn't hurt to exercise >..> I have never enjoyed exercise. It's really hard to make yourself do something when you don't enjoy it. I enjoy swinging, and that is the only reason I've managed to stick with that exercise routine. Mom and I do want to get, like, yoga mats and weights with DVDs, and get some sort of exercise routine going. I mean, I've switched entirely to drinking water now, and I feel great, but I've got to get moving more often....and as much as I hate it, that means cardio -..- God, but I do hate cardio.

You really don't know frustration until you have to move. Or when you have to unpack...that's frustrating too. Especially when you have no power or water in your house...and no money. That sucks. Every day, I've been taking boxes and stuff over to my trailer and just stacking some of those boxes. Mom and I went over there today and started unpacking the kitchen....we agreed that all the pots and pans and dishes were dirty and would need to be cleaned before use =..= We also went to Target yesterday, and I got everything I need for my spare bathroom. I've never had a spare bathroom, so it was like, "What can I do there?" I didn't want to over do anything, but I still wanted it to be nice. Oh, and Mom and I unpacked all my clothes and put it in my enormous closet :) That was fun. We did sorta agree that there's no point in unpacking books or DVDs (the main mass of my things really). I mean, till I get those book shelves, my books have no place to go, and till I get a DVD cabinet, my DVDs have no place to go so....yeah. Kinda don't want them spread out all over the place.

It's weird to move and unpack, because you feel almost like you're getting presents when you remember everything that starts coming out of boxes. And you get all nostalgic because you're like, "Oh! This box is full of my movies!" or "Wow! I'd forgotten I had that!" even. It's just strange...good, but strange. The down-side, of course, is when you pull something out of the box and it's broken ;_; quite a few things have taken damage actually.

I've been working on Mom's Mother's Day gift for a while now. Every time I get the chance to stay home alone, I take it. What I'm doing is, I'm scanning as many old photos as I can find onto my log in on her new computer. I'm hoping that I can get a jump drive and transfer them all over the day before Mother's Day, and that'll be her Mothers Day gift :D I'm sure she'll love it, because she has no idea I'm doing it and she absolutely loves surprises. And plus that's something she's really been wanting to do, you know? Safeguard all her memories and such. So, shhh, don't tell anyone. But I've been working like a mad woman to get as much done as possible. It's not easy when the photos are not dated, and most of them aren't >..> Still, it's good to have them safe :)

Oh, our Trailer dude who sold us the trailer and moved it for us and all, he said that during every move a trailer takes some damage. So, we're supposed to take note of the things that are messed up inside the trailer and he'll fix them for us. So far, this is what I have...

1. The screen door has some damage to it on the outside.
2. The siding around the door is coming off in one spot.
3. The front door will not stay closed unless the deadbolt is locked.
4. The outside light fell off...we still don't know why o..o.
5. The floor in the kitchen is messed up, bowing slightly.
6. The joint in the kitchen has come away from the wall.
7. The recessed lighting in the kitchen is not sitting right.
8. The laminent near the stove and on the floor near the dishwasher is crackling.

Considering the hills and thrills they endured coming here, that's really a small list of things :) Every time I go into my trailer, I'm happy. I like how it looks inside, and it's just bare bones, so I know I'm going to enjoy it a lot whenever I actually can move in and put my stuff everywhere.

I haven't heard anything from my Twin recently...which is weird, since I re-sent her the letter that I'd e-mailed to the wrong place -..-' Dad and I were talking, and he figured since she's close to Atlanta, we might just get a round-trip ticket for me and I fly out :) That'd be really awesome. Oddly enough, Reiko has been so lonely lately, when I told her I'd be near Atlanta, she wanted to know if she could come to the wedding o..o' She was like, "I'll bring a gift! That's all that matters, right? The guests need to bring gifts! Atlanta's only 4 hours from here! And I can see you!" ...yeah...

Oh, speaking of Reiko. Like I said, she's been really lonely lately. Oddly enough, she has very few friends in NC, and since the army wives she does know have very little in common with her, she's actually transformed into the 'quiet one' of the bunch. I know o..o weird. But, I've been thinking how much I'd love to go to an anime con (not this year, but maybe next depending), and Animazement is right there in Raleigh. If we want to get together again (and if we actually have money to attend), I could meet up with her and we could go there :) That'd be fun! And Mecha Con was such a blast.... cons really are the best way to get together :D I think. I mean, the Gathering with my Twin and then Mecha Con with Reiko. Both of them were a blast, and more so because of the company than because of the con. The Con's just a great excuse to get together and be crazy :)

Of course, I started looking up conventions close to me. The easiest for me would be the Arkansas Anime Festival...it looks pretty cheap for a con though (even if they're calling it a festival. It's $17 per day for adults who are pre-registered AND it's in Fayetteville... that's an hour and 40 minutes away (not to mention dirt cheap)! I mean, I know that there's also Kawa Kon (in Clayton, MO) and
Naka Kon (in Kansas City, Mo), but Fayetteville is just uber convenient.

....wouldn't it be awesome, if every couple of years my friends and I could just meet up at a con? I mean, we could take turns since we're all in different places, but each year one of us would have the con in our state/nearby, and we'd all just have a great excuse to go :3

...all that anime/friend talk being said...I really miss my Red vs. Blue =..= I wanted to buy The Blood Gluch Chronicles after I'd given my individual DVDs to Reiko...but then the Rents told me I was moving so...yah.. And now! they have the new season, Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction, out....and it's totally effin' awesome :D I mean, I've seen it all on the web site, but I really do have to have that <..< eventually...it will be mine..

Meh....I've talked/typed enough...goodness, but did I ever type enough. I really can't think of anything more to say and...I'm wanting to relax a bit. I'll post again later, Sunshines :)

You Are Dusk

You are a naturally idealistic and creative person. You look forward to nights where everything is possible. You spend most of your energy on play. Work is okay, but the true you emerges after the work day is done. You're an offbeat type that doesn't like rules or schedules. Life's too short to waste at a desk in a cube. Whether you spend your night socializing or working on side projects, you like that your time is yours.

Are You Dusk or Dawn?

We had a time with Mom’s present, but that happened last night. For Christmas Mom got a whole new bedroom set. Since Mom was down with a migraine, we had to unpack her bed, her two night stands and her huge chester drawers...it took ages. Dad had spent the whole day with Pastor Sam, helping him to fix up his new house, so he didn’t get the furniture till...I dunno, maybe 5 or 6. So we started to assemble the bed and manoeuvre the other stuffs. It took us till around 10:30 to get it all done, because it wasn’t really...I dunno....there were difficulties -..-

So, Mom got her Christmas gift last night, and she loved it. She said it’s so pretty and so comfortable. So, we were a little tired this morning when we woke up. But we got up and ate some Tomato gravy and biscuits with some bacon. Was so good. It’s well past breakfast time, and I might just have seconds >..> Anyway, Aunt Carolyn got here, and Mom’s satellite TV has a channel that has holiday music, so we set it on that. Mom read the birth of Christ from the Bible, and then we commenced opening presents.

...I think Dad had the most...He got and update CD with a anchor for his GPS from Mom. He got 4 fancy shirts from Mom from Sadie’s in Houma (going out of business sales, yay!). He got some fleece PJ pants from me, and he got some micro plush sheets from me. They’re awesome, because they come with a fitted sheet, pillow cases and a top sheet. He’ll be warm now :D Aunt Carolyn had presents too! She got the Bible on cassette tape and a small radio to play them on from my parents. Of course, I had presents too. Mom and Dad got me a breakfast tray that has photos in it. Aunt Carolyn got me some bath stuffs and some lotion. Is nice. Of course, I’ve had my biggest Christmas present for quite some time, and I enjoy Makoto-san very much XD

And that was our Christmas so far. Mom’s cooking our dinner right now (ham, green been casserole and mashed potatoes /drools.), and when things settle down a bit, we’ll watch the Home Alone movies! But for now, we’re just straightening up the house, enjoying our gifts and talking.

I guess I’ll write later, Sunshines.

You have some preferred ways of celebrating Christmas, but you're open to compromise. You enjoy Christmas more than anyone you know. Some might call it an obsession! You give a big during the holidays but nowhere near as much as you'd like to.

I went out and got Scamp Saturday. The drive was fun, but my house was being whittled down little by little in the 4 hours it took. My parents had moved everything from upstairs into the shed and many of the things I just didn’t need as well. My mattress was on the floor downstairs. During the down-time we had when my parents were busy with...something else…Scamp and I exchanged birthday gifts! She loved her gifts and I was sooo happy! I got her the Hoard key chain and made it into a necklace, and I got her a Figure Print of Fallena! It was so awesome! And she loved it and stared at it in awe for a long long time. Scamp was...uh, a little disappointed when one of my gifts didn’t really work out. She and Bear had gotten me a beautiful necklace of an owl flying with a moonstone in it’s claws, but she’d also gotten me this tank that has fake jellyfish in it...but, the pump for the tank didn’t work so the jellyfish just sank to the bottom of the tank -..- so yeah, she was disappointed. I loved the necklace though! I told her, “I shall call him ‘Jareth’ and he shall be mine :-D!”. That night was miserable, because my dad’s snoring is unholy...and since we were all sleeping in the same room, that really came into play that night.

Sunday, after church, we all went to Subway. Tried that new Chicken Pizziola or whatever it’s called...it wasn’t bad. Just…not something I’d go out of my way for. When we got home, Mom and Dad had packed up to leave for New Orleans, but the battery on Dad’s truck died. So he had to go to town and get a new one. But once that was done, Scamp and I were pretty much on our own. The geek fest began and much talking and giddy babbling commenced.

Monday was a little harsh...work was just so intense after the more busy than usual weekend. Also, at this point, everyone’s panicked because they realize it’s my last week. Monday and Tuesday went by pretty much the same. I was so very very tired, and went home to talk more with Scamp and vaguely pay attention to Bones. We packed as much as we could, but even when we were doing that, we were talking so much it was like we weren’t working. My parents actually got back from N.O. that afternoon, but they were staying with my Aunt Carolyn for the night. And, yesterday, I canceled my DSL for the 20th, and then later that day, Scamp tells me that they unhooked the computer and packed the wires in a box =..= so yeah...work’s the only way to post aside from Voice Post...which may happen tomorrow ^..^ Scamp managed to crank out some seriously awesome WoW fan fiction too. I dunno if it's cause we just talk about our character so much or because here she can relax a bit more or what, but it was awesome! And just in time too, because my parents showed up to pack everything just after she finished =..=

Oh! And I found something I desperately wanted. I’ve been wanting a mac for so long, but I can’t afford it. Aaaand, I’d been wanting to get a lap top too, because…well, sometimes I shut my computer off and late at night I get ideas to write...and I’d just like to have a laptop. Especially since my Dad was saying there are two colleges in the town and I might go back to college again o..o But anyway! I looked on Amazon.com to see if there were any good laptops that weren’t too highly priced. Well, I found a pretty awesome MacPro...and it’s about $700 (yes, it’s considered used, but it’s ‘Like New’ so I’m sorta ok with that!), which for a Mac is really awesome! So, I was thinking of saving up my next two checks as much as possible (which is what I’d be doing anyway) and spending my money on that...Merry Christmas to Me, you know? It’d be nice...

Oh, and last night, after class, everyone had a little party for me with this awesome cake and everything! It was funny because they gave me the cutting knife, and I sorta twirled the handle a bit so that the point was facing downward and just stabbed in the center of the cake, and everyone who was watching went, “Whoa!” After we ate and went over to join the others that were sitting about, C.J. asked me “So, did you get any more s words?” and I was like, “S words? Like…Salamander? Or...Sincere?” and he was like, “No! Swords!” and I was like. “oh....” only a minute later did I get S Words put together equals Swords...kinda like Flo Rida, put together is Florida. Yeah -..- I was tired. But yeah. I told him that I’d found the Halo Sword on Amazon...and that I had a whole Wish List dedicated to various swords and weapons...he was thrilled, but I’m not quite sure why O..o Funny how it amazes me to meet someone just as geeky as I am...in a place where I thought I knew how everyone already was before.

So...today Reiko comes over. The girls said that they’re treating me to Zen’s (well, they said it was my choice so booya :-D.). There are still things to worry about...but I kinda don’t want to anymore. I’m so tired and I can’t. So I’m just going to give the girls at work their Christmas/Going Away presents and have fun and enjoy my last few days here. I even brought my camera today to mark the occasion. I don’t have enough pictures of the girls as far as I’m concerned. So that’s all I’m worried about today. I do still need a change of address form, and to talk to my Edward Jones guy, but I’m thinking that’s something I might be able to squeeze in today and tomorrow. I’ll just have to check. But I refuse to worry about it.

I guess I’m off again. I was taking a little brain break because in the little time I’ve had sitting down I manage to get 7 pages of stats done =..= I can’t wait till 5. So, I’m off again, Sunshines.
