My Day Out With Reiko
2011-Jul-05, Tuesday 03:32 pmHere's the video I've been working on for a while now :) Just me and Reiko trolling around Houma together. Good times, good times :3
Happy Fathers Day, Reiko

MMPSA -- Devastating
2010-Jun-13, Sunday 01:03 amPlease, bear with me. I've pretty much dissolved into tears every single time I so much as think about this. It was very grueling to film and edit this video, but I'm hoping that having it out and up will somehow help me to feel better. Being born and raised in Lafourche, LA, makes this a very sensitive topic, and not just for me.
15 - There's No Place Like Houma
2010-Apr-04, Sunday 01:33 amFinally! Some of the video I took while I was in Houma! I was born and raised there, so I have a lot of memories there. Unfortunately, almost everyone who made the place special is no longer there. Still, this is my look back at the town I was born in. Please do enjoy

North Bound and Down
2009-Sep-24, Thursday 07:44 pmWe're all packed up now! Tomorrow at this time, I'll be home and showered (hopefully). I had a great supper with Celeste at Buffalo WoW Wings, and then we walked next door for desert.... at Zen :3 She wasn't crazy about the Kamikaze roll (too sweet) but she seemed to really enjoy the Saints roll...which, is good because it's awesome.
Anyway! We're ... pretty much all packed up, aside from necessities (toothbrush&Paste, clothes for tonight, clothes for tomorrow). It's kinda bittersweet... I got to visit with a few people, but I guess I had hoped I'd have more time to spend with everyone. Oh well. That's how it goes. Thank God for FaceBook :)
So, everyone pray for a safe trip tomorrow. We'll be needing it. 12 hours is a long time in the saddle =..='
Goodnight, Sunshines.
You Are Caring and Cautious |
 You are a responsible, likable person. You can be counted on to be consistent. You believe it's important to do the right thing in life. You are a loyal friend and family member. It's fairly easy for you to develop strong social and emotional bonds with others. You can be counted on. You are deeply ethical and the furthest thing from superficial. It bothers you when people are too flakey. |
Each Day is a Little Better
2009-Sep-19, Saturday 07:26 pmOK, so, my plan worked. I expected today would be no more than a grueling hell pit.... but it wasn't that bad. But when you gear yourself up to expect the absolute worst, you're always surprised by how things aren't so bad. So it worked.
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. |
We got some class up in here!!
2008-Dec-25, Thursday 03:55 pmWe just checked in to the Holiday Inn in Houma...zomg....we some classy chicas now! This place is so awesome! I can’t wait to take pictures and get home so I can post them O..O This beats the Hilton by miles...really. I told Mom, “Dadgum, but we da hill billies come to town!” :D! S’nice XD
.........Oh. I got a call from my Twin! Yeah...it was like...uh...an hour before...uh...I went to see Twilight (for the 3rd time =..=....Shattup!). Anyway! She called to wish me a Merry Christmas. Lots of peoplez has been doing that today >_> hmm. So, we talked for a few minutes while I was waiting for the “Now Seating” light to come on. I got a text from Chibi too wishing me Merry Christmas. I let her know what room we were in. Oh yeah, got a text from Bubba, too; it was a Merry Christmas, so I sent one back “Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal.” because, yeah I totally over dose on Home Alone. To my surprise, he texted back, “Get down on your knees and tell me you love me. OOPS. Getting ahead of myself there!” or something like that. After I stopped rolling around on the ground, I texted back “ ‘And a Happy New Year’ to you too >_>”. Twas funny.
While Mom and Aunt Batty went to see a movie, I killed time by seeing Twilight, for the third time as I mentioned before. Funny how no matter how many times you watch ‘em, they always end the same :). I was really early for the showing, and I got to talk to Holly, who worked at the Palace before I even got in there. She’s a manager now. It was good to see her again. I know she and Travis still work there, but I think pretty much everyone else I knew there has moved on. The General managers are famous for going there to get fired (as opposed to going there to die). She said they’ve improved their record, because recently they got a GM and he left by way of transfer as opposed to being fired. I suppose you have to start somewhere :D.
....Oh. And Mom bought Aunt Batty a gift, which from what I gather they’d agreed no gifts, so she gave me a scrapbook starter! I was so happy! I had told Mom that I wanted to do a family scrapbook for her, and I just finished one and I wouldn’t know where to start. But this scrapbook actually matches a quilt Aunt Batty had made for Mom, so it kinda goes with her room. So we’ll just take it from there! I’m excited about that now.
I wish we could stay in this room the entire time we’ll be here =..= Oh well. There are things we still have to do. My cell phone needs some serious charging - I turned it off in the movie and when I got out and turned it on to call Mom, the battery was red and empty o..o. I’m tired, but I’m also happy to be here and really enjoying the place (let’s hope that continues). Later, Sunshines!
You Spread Some Holiday Cheer |
 You do your best to give time, money, and joy during the holidays. You don't always spread cheer to everyone, but you do the best. Unlike most people, you actually spend time reflecting on the meaning of the holidays. And you worry more about doing the right thing than getting the right presents. |
