OCD+ADD=OMG

Grudges. I finally saw The Grudge 2, the American version. I’ve yet to see Ju-on 2, but so far...I haven’t really seen anything that’s terribly ‘zomg kowaii!!’ It’s creepy as hell, yeah, but…I dunno. I watch ‘em and then go to bed. So..yeh. So, over all, I’m fairly glad that I’ve seen them so that I don’t have to worry about putting them off and/or saying I haven’t seen them yet. Now that I have, I can have my opinion of them and earned it rightly.

Two-Toned. Sunday Mom bought me this Jergins natural glow stuff that’s supposed to make your skin look healthy and tanned…and, me not knowing a thing about such things, I put it on my legs Sunday and just went about my business. Then, Monday morning I woke up and the palms of my hands are all a different color from the back of my hands! I swear, I have cowboy-hands! I don’t have a beta-carotene imbalance, I promise, it’s just an accident.

Roaming Rents. Mom and Dad have taken off to Lake Arthur. There’s a camp ground there that our church uses for men’s and women’s retreats, and they volunteered to go and help clean the camp up before the next retreat. After that, they intend to go up to Arkansas, and buy the land they looked at last time they went up there. I dunno when they’re coming back…I know that tomorrow morning, they intend to leave for Arkansas, but I don’t know how long that’ll take. So, I am most literally, home alone. Thank God for Warcraft. My house makes weird noises at night, and it sounds like squirrels have been climbing the walls and roof of my house...kinda freaks me out a bit and then I just get over it. Not to mention the bad news my mom called with this morning. She called and said that a preacher came to the church and sort of prophesized that everyone who was cleaning would be attacked by Satan. Then today the son of the head of the cleaning crew was found dead, and the pastor’s wife got into a car accident. So yeah, that puts a nice feeling in my gut. But 2 Timothy 1:7 says that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind. I keep trying to chant that and hope it keeps me from a panic attack. I suppose the best course of action would simply be to forget all of that and just faithfully continue on as usual. But my fears of the future are best to post to my private journal.

In other news, Scamp might be coming over…though…I don’t know when. And I’ll be going over to Reiko’s Sunday, because I found her camera in my car and she called and was like “Do you have my camera!!!” and I’m like, “I told you I did!” so yeah. She’s gonna give me back my DVDs and I’ll give her back her camera. Damn 2 hour drive. I’ve spent most of the money I made from my last check already, but I’ll be biting the bullet (like I always do) to head out there.

...I think that’s the only things that’re going on. I’m gonna regulate my breathing and get back to work :) Later, Sunshines.

What Kind of Puzzle Are You?

---

I take 2 B12 complex pills every morning, and I have been doing that for 3 solid months! Shouldn’t that be helping with this? Maybe I just need to move more in the end…perhaps if I exercised and lost weight, I’d feel more energetic…but do I really have to be miserable in the mean time! I mean, I’ve worked out before, right. Solidly worked out. And the Doctor/Trainer dude that I saw every week acted like that must be so great for me…it wasn’t. I told him once that I was so soar and he said “but doesn’t that feel great!” and I was like “…no! Sadistic masochist! Gawd!”. I do not enjoy exercising...I never have. The only exercise that I enjoy, is walking, swimming and horseback riding (from least to most).

Anyway. I swear I was not gonna rant about that. I was gonna tell you about the fun we had at work. Sure, work sucked from about, oh, the beginning till 2ish. Then everything lightened a bit, and I started talking a bit more. I’m not entirely sure how the conversation went but this is the jist of it.

Me: Sounds like someone’s been pouring mojitoes down your throat all day.
Lacey: ...Mosquitoes?
Me: No, Lacey. Mojitoes.
Lacey: What’s a mosquito?
Me: Dammit! Use your words, dude! It’s Mo-He-Toe! It’s a drink.
Lacey: …uh huh…
Me: It IS! It has mint and citrus and club soda and rum in it or something.
Lacey: I never heard of no mosquito drink.
Me: Lacey! That’s it! I’m googling it!

Anyway. This resorted to me once again become a Google-ho. And through Google, I found this site called Drinks Mixer...it’s got tons of recipes on how to make drinks. Not just alcoholic drinks either! It’s got coffees and teas and..other drinks (and beers and ales and cocktails and shots and punches and liqueurs =.=). Of course, this resulted in them asking me to print out several recipes =___= Me and my googling. But hey, if anyone really wants to take a look at it, there’s a whole wealth knowledge at this site.

Ok, moving right along. So, we find out today that we may be getting a clinic in Guam. That’s right, Guam. Of course, that got the office a bit a-buzz. Questions started flying around like “What type of language do they speak in Guam.” Lenda says “Guam-in-ease?” That caused a lot of laughs. Then they were like “Is it like Japanese and Chinese people?” and I was doing my best impersonation of the Stephen Colbert Loves Tea clip that I saw, which caused them all to laugh and decide that I would definitely be the one taking calls from Guam. Then they asked something that shocked me….”Where is Guam?” <.<……….>.>…"….you’re kidding right? No? Huh…Ok, well, it’s over near Australia, but not south like New Zealand, it’s up. Like...near Indonesia and New Guinea." That resulted in some odd stairs. That’s when I remembered something. Americans suck at geography. So I went to Google Maps (me and my damn Google again =.=) and searched for Guam. I was like “See, there it is.” And they were like “But where is that…?” and I was like “Ok, let me zoom out.” And I did, showing them Australia and Indonesia. And someone asked (I’m so not naming names, otherwise I might get my head handed to me) “But where is that in relation to us?”

………………………………………

I had no idea that they couldn’t figure out where we were in reference to where Australia was. I mean, Indonesia and New Guinea? Ok, sure, maybe people wouldn’t know about that, but Australia?! I was so shocked. Then they asked what language they spoke, so I said that since Guam was technically US territory, even if it wasn’t really incorporated into the US, so I’m sure their grasp of the English language would be pretty good (not to mention that most other countries are smarter than America when it comes to schooling and all)… and they were somewhat dubious about that. I had to really reassure them that I knew that, and then I ended up going to Wikipedia and reading out loud about Guam just to reassure them. I ended up showing a lot of pictures of the island and resorts and such there to them too….I guess it just shocked me that they didn’t’ know the geography. History isn’t something I excel at in the slightest, so I didn’t expect them to know it (and I was just assuming about them knowing English well and all), but even if I didn’t know the exact coordinates of the island, I knew about where it was.

Now lastly, and perhaps the funniest story...Earlier in the day we asked Nicole if she’d watched Saw III since she rented it. She said “No…My husband wasn’t home….the girls and I started watching it, but then I got scared and couldn’t >.<” we asked how far she got and she said. “Well…we watched the previews and then we it got to the menu screen I couldn’t go any further.” Honest! I could not make this up! She said the menu options were carved into a dangling arm, and it freaked her out so she couldn’t go further. We laughed so hard at that! She’s seen Saw and Saw II and thought they were brilliant, so of course she has to see this. But evidently it has to be during the day, with all the doors open, and her husband and as many other adults around as possible. I personally have not witnessed this...strange...phenomenon called Saw, so I won’t for opinions. I told Nicole that if she wanted we could all schedule a get together one afternoon and go to her place with junk food and stuff and have a See Saw party or something. Doors open, lights on, no sudden movements sort of thing. She said it sounded fun but we never discussed it really. We’ll see how far that gets.

That’s all the work news I have for you for today. It’s now late-ish and I’m tired (and really really eager to sleep since I didn’t sleep well last night). So goodnight!
