OCD+ADD=OMG

Ok...no reason to make this all sour-grapes. Today was not one of my better days. Pretty much all morning and most of the afternoon I spent not feeling well at all. I tried taking that Emergen-C stuff, and it really didn’t help that much. But we left Grandmere’s around 12 something for Raising Cane’s, where we met my cousin Angel. After lunch with her, we headed to Wal-Mart for a thing or two we needed, then to the mall where we got some stuff at Bath and Body and JCPenny’s. Then, we headed to Aunt Batty’s house. She was making supper - beef and potato stew with corn, green beans and rice. We hung out till it was time for supper, and now we’re full and I’m bedded down for the night. Mom and Aunt Batty are watching movies. I figured I’d take this time to post, last post of the year.

The internet connection isn’t great here, it comes and goes. But I’ve been able to keep myself occupied at least. Now that I’ve had my shower, I feel much better. Problem is, I’m really sleepy, and between the fireworks and the dogs barking, I’ll probably not get much before 1 =..= Oi vey. Still, we’ve been welcomed into both homes we stayed in, so at least that was nice. I think we may be headed to my Aunt Carolyn’s tomorrow...I dunno. I, personally, would be content to stay here for the remainder of our stay...but that’s just me.

I’ll go ahead and sign off now. I can’t keep a thought in my head for more than 5 seconds...good indication to shut ‘er down. Night, Sunshines.

You Remember 50% of 2008

Okay, you were somewhat paying attention during 2008. But you're not going to impress anyone with your knowledge of what went down. You know the basics about what went down, but little else... Let's just say you won't be writing the history book for 2008.

How Much Do You Remember 2008?

That night I got on WoW and Mat was on. We got on voice chat and we both made each other laugh so hard, I was hurting the next morning. I don’t even remember half of what happened…just that it was hilarious.

Sunday was...what happened Sunday? Ok, first there was church, and Mom had a migraine. She left early without telling me and I had to go looking for her. Got home and I wasn’t hungry so I just got on WoW. Scamp was on…and so was Mat. We went through…Shadow Fang Keep! Yeah! That’s what we did. We went through there and got those quests done. Then Scamp had to go…I don’t know where she had to go, but she did. After a bit, I realized that the laundry wasn’t going to do itself, and by that time I was hungry. So I got off for about 30 minutes to eat and do laundry.

Before I’d left, Scamp had said she would be back on Hothien in an hour. So when I didn’t see her, I was a bit surprised. I eventually texted her, and she got on. We did a lot of stuff in Deatholme...I’m not loving the Succubus that Wenny finally got. Wenny’s not loving her either. Her name is Anriel (which is very pretty) and…I dunno. She’s just not as good as Zangs (Wenny’s voidwalker)…then again, Wenny was awfully attached to her blueberry. We got a bunch of stuff done there, but Mom called and asked me to come over and help her with something. She gets so debilitated when she has those migraines, it’s hard to do anything. So, I told Scamp that I had to go and we set up to meet each other some time tonight.

I helped Mom with food and we just sat for a while and watched TV together. America’s Funniest Videos has always been sort of a tradition (along with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, but nooo Oprah was taking over the channel that night!). Eventually (I think it was around…7ish) I headed back home for the night.

When I’d come back home from Mom’s, I plugged my iPod into my computer to recharge it. And I finally decided to go ahead and buy a few songs from iTunes. It’s odd because, I only buy songs from iTunes when I don’t want to buy the whole CD. But I won’t download an entire CD because I want the physical CD (which I reason I can always rip). So which songs did I get? Which songs to I like, but am not willing to buy the CD they’re on…Cyclone – Baby Bash, A Bay Bay – Hurricane Chris, Lo – Flo Rida, Crank That (Travis Barker Mix) – Soulja Boy, and Do it To it – Cherish. That’s right; the “Dance” playlist on my iPod got a big boost Sunday night. I already have a couple of Destiny’s Child songs along with Usher, and Timbaland songs on that Dance play list. Then there’s the 90’s Club Dance CD I got…a few P!nk songs…and now those…I’m trying to think if there are any other songs I can get for my dance list ^..^ Any suggestions?

….Can’t think of anything else to post. So, I guess that’ll be all. Later, Sunshines!

Beware, for I am: Tired

You know something funny? I can wake up at 5 a.m. and not really feel tired. Not right away that is. I don’t start feeling tired till much later. Round ‘bouts mid-afternoon. To make matters worse, I pulled a little muscle in my back late last night (somehow), and it’s been bugging me all day. Not so much that I can’t move or anything, but it’s just enough to remind you that it’s there and not let you get on with life.

Tomorrow is pay day and I have 3 things now on my list of things to buy. We all know about World of Warcraft (*cough cough*warcrack*cough cough*), and Supernatural, but the other thing which I was gonna get earlier but didn’t get the chance to...Mom’s birthday gift. I’d been eyeing these special humming bird feeders that she wants in a magazine and thought I’d get one of them for her. But they were extremely expensive so I thought I’d wait. Turns out the ones she actually wants aren’t available. Figures. So, I’m just gonna have to get her the other one, which is very pretty, and I’m sure she’ll love.

That’s my financial dilemma. Moving on. Today, (and some of last night), I totally reformatted the ‘Writing’ section of my web site. Not that I’ve posted anything as of yet, but I’ve got most of the ground work laid out. I just need to write up a few rants to add (yes, I’m adding rants to the Original section -.-), and then I’ll post everything and we’ll be in business...so to speak.

I’ve been so tired after work lately, that I haven’t really done much but loaf around afterwards. Which, I figure I can do since I am a full-time worker and all. But Mom asked if I wanted to go and visit Grandmere tonight, and I was too tired. But it bothered me because I hate missing visits with her. So I told Mom to ask Grandmere if she’d mind us all coming over on Saturday. She said she probably won’t mind unless she already has something planed. So, I’m hoping to spend some time with her then.

Oh also, I got Beatrice and Bill in. So now Bert doesn’t look all alone and undignified up there.

Anyway...I guess that’s all that there is to life at this point. I’ll talk at ya’ll later. Ja-ne.

Beware, for I am: Blah

Not much happened today. Wait...that’s not right. Stuff happened. Lot’s of stuff. What happened today? /thinks Ok..I called the boss-lady and asked if there was any time that she wanted me to come pick up my stuff, and she said any time. I apologized and she ‘accepted my apology’. ...Mom and I went walking. We walked 2 miles and decided to go check out Nanny McPhee at the dollar theater. I think Mom wants to perk me up or something. Truthfully, the only thing that really bothers me besides the lack of income is the lack of productivity. I’m afraid I’ll get lazy if I don’t have something to keep me going. Anyway. Mom and I walked. We saw a few things around the stores to look at on our last lap (the cool-out lap). We ended up going into Bath&Body Works, and I finally got to see (or smell as it were) the Cherry Blossom fragrances that chaineddove had told me about. OMG, Odango, you weren’t kidding. I have to admit that I like the white and pink products more than the yellow colored ones. They had a white, yellow, and pink variety of cherry blossom stuff and the yellow was way too strong. I like subtle fragrances. Your perfume isn’t supposed to announce you, it’s supposed to accompany you...and all that jazz.

After the walk, we deposited my check into checkings and then we headed over to Burger King to visit with Grandmere. She’s always at Burger King between the hours of 9:30ish to about 11. Allways with gets her biscuit (well done), her medium diet coke (which she refills throughout the day) and sits and talks with her sister and whoever else should wander through the door and be in the mood to talk. We stayed and talked for a while, then Mom had to deposit some money in her bank.

Then we headed over to the agency to pick up my stuff. We got everything cleaned out in record timing; packed it all in a box and was ready to go. I did forget to get Mrs. R to sign my time sheet, but I can sign it and fax it to her and she can sign it and send it on. I hope...Mrs. A has always loved my chocolate treasure candies, and she always finds an excuse to sneak in and get one. So I grabbed a handful and put them on her desk and said “For the road” she thanked me and we were on our way. No one else talked to us. No one else so much as looked at us. /shrug I’ll assume they were all too busy and leave it at that.

We got home and my Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe was in. I love special edition stuff. It’s great so far, and all I’ve watched is the bonus footage. I thought I recognized Mr. Tumnus from the movie, and I know where now. He’s the same guy that played as Leto in Children of Dune. He’s got this really sexy Irish accent. It’s absolutely adorable. I also have this wonderful Unicorn Coloring book that I ordered with it (shut up! It was like $2 and the shipping was free if I added $2 so..so...shut up!). But really, it’s the coolest coloring book I’ve ever seen. But I’m not going to color it till I get a new Printer/Scanner/Copier. I want to scan the pages so I’ll be able to color it as much as I like, whenever I like.

That’s another thing. Poor old Madison hasn’t been working right at all. She says that her black and white print cartridge is not installed properly. But every time I check it, I only find that it is installed properly, and then I take it out and put it in again and all she’ll do is blink at me and say it’s not done right. /sighs Oi, these machines. I can print on her though, which is odd...She just won’t scan or copy anything. I was going to get a new one as soon as I’d saved up enough money to get a really good one, but…well. The best laid plans, no da.

Anyway. Mom was feeling sleepy, so she went and napped while I dove into obsessive fan-girl heaven watching the CON (Chronicles of Narnia) bonus footage. These children are charming...Really. I mean, forget the fact that William Moseley (Peter) is extremely cute. They’re all just such a delight. It was a pleasure to watch them be themselves and have fun. This isn’t a occurrence that I’m accustomed to. I have made it evident on several occasions that I loath children to the very core of my being. And to find myself enjoying watching these children was a surprise. Maybe it’s because they’re British...that must be it.

Anyway. Mom finally got up from her nap. She went outside to read on the patio and she spotted two small wood-peckers. She called me out to take pictures, but my camera was kinda dieing and they were too far off anyway. And much too fast to catch on camera.

I came back and Mom wanted to fix her famous strawberry popsicles. She takes sugar, water and freshly grown strawberries and puts them all in a blender, then into little wax cups and puts a pop cycle stick in the center and freezes them all. She makes like 200 and we slowly eat them over the summer. I washed the strawberries and she blended and poured.

Then I went and made this little colorbar.

Kidd Kraddick is my favorite morning radio show. I was upset that I wasn’t waking up early enough to listen to them on a regular basis after the job thing. So I made this for fun.

Then, I watched half of tonight’s Bones. I’d taped it but I couldn’t get through it and check mail and stuff before CSI: NY rolled around. It was really good...both of them, I just don’t know how Bones ends.

Now, I’m showered and the pills are kicking in (thus the shorter sentences), so I’m off to bed. G’night everyone.

You Are The Moon

You represent the unconscious side of life, what happens in dreams. You are capable of great genius - but also of great madness. Emotions tend to be primal for you, both your fears and your fantasies. Your intuition is always right, listening to it is the difficult part. Your fortune: You are about to embark on a very important journey - and a very difficult one. Some of your deepest dreams will be realized, as well as some of your deepest nightmares. Follow your creativity and visions; stay away from your weaknesses. You are taking a voyage to the center of yourself, and you may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

What Tarot Card Are You?

...Dude,..that’s like profound...and quite accurate...

PS: Note to self, Nanny McPhee plays at 5:40 tomorrow.

Yo. Today was nice. I did mostly nothing, really. Other than break in those new orthodics(sp?). And that took about, oh, 20 minutes before it really started hurting. But then, if it is like exercise, I suppose I’ll just have to go with the whole ‘start slow’ method.

I also spent a small amount of time looking up Video cards...mostly because old Irene here (this computer that is) doesn’t have a good enough video card to play Black&White 2. I was shocked at how much it actually cost for that type of stuff! And since all I know is that the one I get has to be compatible with I’m assuming that I’ll either need to buy one, or make sure that the new PC I get has one. The trouble is, I’m not sure exactly how to find out if the new PC will have one considering it doesn’t actually mention it in the specs on the web page I looked at. Either way, it’ll be forever till I actually get the new PC...but do I really wanna spend that much money on something like that, when I could just be patient and get it with the package. That is the question.

I didn’t get a chance to go to the movies with Mom today. Grandmere kidnapped her early this morning (like 6 am and stuff), and they went all the way to Lake Charles. Grandmere has friends down there, and Mom wanted to see how things were since the hurricanes. I let Mom take my camera, so we’ll have to see how those pics come out. We did promise to go see either War of the Worlds or In Her Shoes tomorrow. That’s still kinda up in the air. Mom doesn’t like paying any more than the the early price of $5.50, so if we can’t go to the Palace to see In her Shoes before 6, we’ll be going to see War of the Worlds at the local dollar theater. I saw that the dollar theater has Charlie and the Chocolate Factory playing now. That brings back memories of Chibi-chan(amai_tenshi) since that was the last movie we went to see together at the theater.

When we got back home I watched Threshold. It was good. It made me want to make icons. So, I spent my time making icons, and now I am extremely sleepy. My meds are so kicking in. I’d better bed down before I resist too long and they wear off -.- Goodnight.

How random are you?

Hey Mina. Today was very tiring. Woke up around 6:49—actually my Dad woke me up. He came in Monday night. Ate breakfast, got ready, watched some Designing Women—still love that show—and went to school. Took a test. Don’t know how I did but I felt pretty good about it. I was the first to turn in my test.

And so I’m thinking; now I got a full day to relax before church...maybe I can get on and see my Twin-san. She told me she’d be online or on EQ but the hours were very vague...anyway. I had just eaten some Ramen noodle soup with I get a call from Courtney at work. Turns out she needs someone to work 3-6 in the box. So I checked to make sure my uniform was clean and told her sure, I’d do it.

Well, I knew it’d be a bit hard for me to go to work, get off at 6, go home, change eat and then leave for church at 6:30. But it became even harder. Jeremy’s counting me out ‘cause some lady called about an investigation, which is to be kept confidential. I get off the phone and Jeremy’s counting my ones and he’s like,

“55, 56 57, 58, 59...” and he turns to me and I go,

“60?” and he says,

“60! For a second there I was gonna ask you ‘What comes after 59?’” hence the title.

But anyway he counted me out and I clocked off and I saw my locker and looked at my keys to get the key to unlock it and realized, I’ve got my mom’s set of keys...My mom’s set of keys doesn’t have a key for my locker...-.-;;;;

Called home and Dad brought the keys over really quickly. So I got my stuff, got a burger at Burger King, headed for church, and got there at 6:55. Sis. Janet was already up in the sound booth and she said it was ok for me to eat my supper in the booth. So I did. I ate the fries during song service and then the burger was gone not too long after.

Then after church we went to my Grandmére’s house and worked on my special project for a certain someone who’s having a birthday soon. I just hope it works. It looks like it’s all coming together. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. Anyway, after that we’re home, I’m taking my pills, then my shower and hopefully having a full ten hours of sleep.

I’ll write later Mina, but for now I’m really really tired. That’s all she wrote.

Hey Mina. Well, I finally got over everything—not really but you know. You don't really get over it, you just...move past it. The world moves so fast, if you don't keep moving then you get left behind. So I'm just ambling along.

Yesterday was...Thursday right? Yeah it was Thursday. Well, School was...school. Kayla and I took a nice trip down memory lane, and the computers froze about 20 minutes before class let out. So the teacher gave us a copy of vocabulary words that would be on the T.A.B.E. test. Came home...did lots of nothing. Got on at 6 and Twin-san didn't show (big surprise there). Watched Survivor Thailand with Mom, but we were both so sleepy we didn't stay up for CSI and Without a Trace.

Today was interesting. Woke up a little early—an hour to be precise—and got dressed and went to a funeral. Brother Blaine's father's funeral. Brother Blaine used to pastor our youth group, and he did a good job. He was one of the few that always tried to include me. So I went to pay my respects. Stayed for a while, and then at 10:00 left for school.

School was boring as usual. We did a tad bit more in English than I thought, and we're having a spelling test this Monday. Speech was interesting I guess. Amanda gave a nice speech on the need for prayer in schools. It was nice. I still don't know what I made, but it's no big deal. He'll tell us when he tells us...which might be some time late next week -.-

Came home and Mom had gone with Aunt Batty to...to...somewhere. They were out in town or something. I think New Orleans though. Whatever. Anyway, I re-watched Survivor and then stopped and made Mom a banana pudding—it's one of the few deserts she can have on her diet—then I got on the PC and repaired some things in my web pages and all. Then Mom got home and we watched CSI and Without a Trace together.

Twin-san didn't get on...but...I'm not really surprised. She has her sempai (boy friend) now and she's enjoying her time with him. At least that's my guess, 'cause last she told me she was grounded. Guess it was a liberal grounding. I really miss her but I can't begrudge her of her happiness. I can only envy it. Dad told me it wasn't fair, and that I shouldn't have to be the only one who's trying to be the friend...but then I'm the good forgiving Twin so...Ah well. Such is life.

I suppose I'll close out now Mina. Before I get all mopey. That's all she wrote.

MM

Erg, but my computer's being a pain this morning. I've already shut it off and turned it back on but it still refuses to allow me to stay on for more than five minutes at a time if I'm lucky. But I won’t give up no da!!

Anyway, Yesterday and the day before was far too much fun. Kaa-san, and Tou-san went to Huston with Grandmere and Grandpere (Translation: Kaa-san= Mom, Tou-san=Dad in Japanese. Grandmere= Grandmother, Grandpere=Grandfather in Cajun French.) So I got the house all to myself till tomorrow evening. So after finding this out, I contacted Chibi and Reiko and asked them to come and spend the day with me Monday. Chibi couldn't spend the night but Reiko could so she stayed the night.

We watched 8 hours of Magic Knight Rayearth—Reiko hated the ending—and we also taped ourselves doing stuff, mostly talking. Chibi's Kaa-san picked her up at 10 o'clock exactly, and she had to go home since her Kaa-san was having guests over the next morning or whatever.

Reiko stayed the night, and we went to bed...a little after 12, but we kept talking and so it was about 2AM before I finally got to sleep. I woke up at 6 o'clock exactly and just couldn't go back to sleep. So I got up and took my shower and all and played EQ for a while. Reiko woke up around 10AM and we proceeded to watch Fruits Basket. We taped ourselves a little bit, but we mostly watched Fruits Basket ^.^

At 3:30 I brought Reiko home and she got to show me the next chapter of her fan fic and also all her new wall papers. And then I finally got home. I wanted to fall asleep right away but then I'd end up waking up around 4 in the morning and that's not cool. So I stayed up a while and fooled around on the PC. I was hoping to talk and RPG with Twin-san but she never got on.

So I finally got off the PC...it musta been around 10 or so, 'cause then I took my shower and made myself a roast beef sandwich. I love those things as long as they're warm. I make the sandwich and then put it in the microwave all the time. I swear I'm so spoiled, I can't eat them cold and enjoy them anymore.

Reiko called me around Midnight or so all excited since her writers block had faded to reveal pure genius. She's so happy with her fan fic and I'm so happy she's so happy. She really likes Romantic things, and she's getting really good at writing romantic things so she's all happy that it's turning out to be like a story she, herself would like.

And that concludes this entry. Boy is it ever long. Wonder how many words I have here...oh well, that's all she wrote.
