The last few days just haven't been made for me -..- On the 18th, I hadn't been feeling good at all that day, but I took my time and finished cleaning up my house. Everything was nice and neat and orderly. Then, I decided I should probably go out and swing a bit since I would probably only start to feel worse with bloody hell week approaching.

So I went outside and I had been swinging for about 20 minutes... and then the right rope came unfrazzled, snapped, whatever, and I was dumped backwards into the dirt. My back hurt most, but it wasn't a "I've pulled a muscle" hurt but more of a stinging/burning hurt. Mom washed off my back because there were a lot of scratches and a bit of blood to go with them. The only thing we grow freely here in Arkansas would be rocks :) So... my landing wasn't exactly on the softest material. Anyway. I woke up really sore on the 19th. Luckily, I had didn't have enough time to tense up before I hit the dirt so the shock was absorbed all over as opposed to just hurting one area. Unfortunately.... I was hurt all over -..- My ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, and wrists, not to mention the back of my head. Everything just hurt.

... and then I went to Mom's. We hung around for a while watching TV. Then I got out her empty picture frame set, and we started going through pictures. Since there were only a few at her house, we decided to come over to mine and go through the enormous box of pictures we have here. We came up with an idea for a whole row of picture frames along this one wall, so we just gathered a ton of pictures she'd love to see framed.

Then, Mom left ... I don't remember why, but there was something she wanted to do. So, I hung about at my place, just watching movies and such. At some point I realized, I didn't have my cell phone. I knew that I had it whenever I went over to Mom's because I got a call from Jim saying that Reiko was out of surgery and doing well and all that... but after that, I couldn't remember having it at all. So, I assumed that I'd left it at Mom's house somewhere in the chair I'd been sitting in. So, I went over there and looked for it... but it wasn't there. So I came back here and looked for it... and it wasn't here either. So I went back over to Mom's and really went through every room I had been in. I upturned furniture, went through clutter, everything! But it wasn't there. I got Mom's cell phone and called mine, but I heard nothing. I came back here with Mom's cell and called while I looked, still nothing....

.....I have no idea where my cell is, and it's not ringing ;_; I thought that I had it turned up... but even when I call with Mom's phone, I don't hear it ringing. I'm hoping that when the battery starts to die, it'll make that noise and I'll hear it =..= I really don't know what else to do. The need to make cell phone finders for situations like this. I'm such a freak about keeping my cell phone really close and making sure the volume is turned up. It's driving me nuts that I can't find it at all!

So yeah...not much of a happy character at this point. I wish I could work up some optimism, but s'bloody hell week... so I just don't care =..= I've resolved not to post to Twitter until I've managed to resolve this cell phone situation... more so because I'm hoping for good news with a "FINALLY FOUND MY PHONE :D" post or something... but also because... I dunno. Going to Twitter will just remind me that I don't have my phone -..-

Other than all of this, I really have no news. Life sucks a bit and I'm being sulky because I can. :-| That's all for now. Later, Sunshines.

What day is it? It’s …Thursday, right? Good God...I’m telling you, in a off the beaten path country home, time stands still. If you don’t have something to divert you, it all runs together and you forget what day it is and what the heck’s going on.

So, Reiko got up here safe and sound (though there’s always some question about just how sound she is). She and her mom and dad all stopped in a resort town called Fairfield Bay, which is about an hour and a half southeast of here. Scamp and her peoplez actually went to my Aunt Lane’s house. I know the power went out and at some point, their generator went out too, but evidently it’s back up and running. I’m sure since it’s farther north, the power will be resorted soon.

I had a bit of a way-side adventure yesterday. Reiko had told me that she and her dad were heading down Wednesday morning, and that if I wanted to, I could go with them. She figured we might not be able to get back into Houma, but her house in Hammond (Robert) would be reachable. We could bunk there till we could come down. So, I packed up most of my stuff (forgetting a lot =..=) and headed over to meet them. We all went to Wal-Mart and stocked up on the essentials we’d need (potted meat, water, gas cans, and for me and Reiko granola bars and pop tarts). Well, after checkout, I get a call from my mom (who was really upset that I we were leaving so soon), and she said that the mayor said not to even bother coming back till Friday; and, that power would not be restored for up to 2 to 3 weeks! So, that was very discouraging, but her opinion was what clenched it. She said she didn’t want me going down there when it was still a disaster zone, that it was her birthday and she wanted me here where it was safe. So...I sold Reiko and her dad my gas cans and potted meat, and came home. Reiko was a bit upset about this (not as upset as she was about my driving though >..>) but she got over it and I came back here.

…And now Mom and I both have some freaky sinus infection that we’re fighting =..= Reiko called sometime…the other day…and said that they had decided not to leave. That she was feeling sick with a sinus infection too, and they’d gotten the bulletin about not being able to go back till at least Friday. So, now they’re planning on leaving tomorrow morning.

I called Blue Bird (my boss), and asked her if they’d evacuated or if they were alright. She said that they’d made it to Baton Rogue, but the hurricane hit just as badly there. I told her my mom wasn’t allowing me to leave till it was safe, and she said, “Oh no. No don’t leave at all. They’re not letting anyone back in and there’s no power.” So, she has my private e-mail, and she’s going to e-mail me updates, but other than that, I’m not really worried about work. I also called Cole, and she said that her family was heading back today (I think her hubby manages one of the power plants). She said to call her Saturday before I even thought about coming so that she could give me updates first. I also called my energy provider asking if they had an estimate for when my area would have power. They told me to call back Friday. So…here I am. Can’t go home and no idea when I’m gonna be heading that way anyway.

I don’t have a TV or anything in my room here, so the only thing I can really do is read. I brought Breaking Dawn and The Host by Stephanie Meyer. Both of them are great books, and I’ve enjoyed reading them over and over…and over..and over again. Unfortunately, I’ve dang-near memorized them and…well, after 50 times, it becomes a little old. I did buy the 3rd season of Supernatural today. I got it at Wal-Mart, because I figured “Why not?”. Of course, no private TV to watch it on..so. Yeah. I’m stuck admiring the pretty pictures on the cover (and man, are they pretty ^..^). And, I did a recent search, and Bones season 3, is available for Preorder. Of course, it won’t be coming out till November 18, but still. It’s something to look forward to.

This…whatever. Sickness or whatever you want to call it, is seriously fooling with me. I’m so tired and disoriented and…just miserable. I just want to be in my own home. I love Mom, and Aunt Carolyn is alright, I just like being on my own too much. I like having my space and my stuff and my routine. Here...if I don’t feel like watching HGTV for a 24 hour period or switching over to the Hallmark channel, I really have nothing to do. So yeah….No way to entertain myself away from the fact that I’m miserable. If I wasn’t feeling bad, then none of this would really bother me so much. But I am..so. Yeah.

I guess I’m just gonna go ahead and sign off now. There’s really nothing more to update on (that my frazzled mind can recall). I’ll talk to ya’ll later, Sunshines.

Harvest Moon

Current Location: Harrison, AR

So, this weekend has been tiresome and about lessons learned. Even though it had its good spots, I’d pretty much like to take everything that happened, siphon out ¾ of it and never have it happen again. Friday, when I woke up for work, I hurried up and put some clothes in the washer to wash, knowing they’d be done before I left, so I could put them on to dry then. When the load was done, I cleaned out the washed to find my cell phone at the base of my washing machine. If you want a clean cell phone, don’t use the washing machine =..= and don’t stick in into God’s Pocket and then have a bunch of clothes in your arms and lean precariously over the basin while your throwing said clothes in. The phone is pretty much dead, and since all my numbers were on that phone and only a few are imbedded into my memory (Mom’s Cell mostly), I will have to get a new one and reprogram all that into it. Luckily, most of the numbers were doctors’ offices, restaurants and people who never call me…ever. So, I’m trying to just take deep breaths and accept my loss. Luckily, ‘Cole had an extra cell phone on had. She keeps it as a backup, and she most generously offered it to me. Also, lucky, I didn’t damage my sim card...but the phone itself is caput =..=

Saturday was good. Well, as good as it gets I suppose. I cleaned my house (sans doing dishes). And I put on Firefly watching it as Harvey vacuumed the floor. I actually finished the whole series. Reiko called sometime...it was late in the afternoon. She said she was at her parent’s place and she’d come by in an hour or so, if that was alright. Of course it was fine. I took my shower and dried my hair and all. Reiko dropped by and we watched the last bit of Tinman. We talked a bit and clowned around. She said she’d come to church with me the next day, and told me to call her.

Sunday, I called her around 9ish to make sure she was alive. We met up at church later and waited it out. Then...we had wings! We were gonna go to the official wing place, which is the embodiment of awesome, but they were not open. So we settled for WingStop. I got 20 Hawaiian and she got 20 Reg. Hot. And after gorging ourselves and watching Slayers Try, we suited up (I did at least) and jumped in her parent’s swimming pool. They have an above ground swimming pool…salt water, curiously enough, and we frolicked, played and lounged about in it for about 2 hours.

Then around 5ish, my eyes began to strobe. Dark motes were swimming over them and there was an intense pressure in my eyes. That, Ladies and Men-folk, is my body’s way of warning me that a migraine is imminent. I told Reiko goodbye and explained to her parents that it was just one of those things. I drove home, trying to focus as best I could on the road. I took a quick shower, ate some frosted-wheat cereal, and took a pill. Unfortunately, by then the migraine was in full flair, and even the pill I took was little relief at all. I have to say, this is by far one of the worst migraines I’ve had. My eyes hurt so bad, and there was a tremendous throbbing and pressure in my nose and along the back of my skull. I was sensitive to light, sound taste and my stomach was so upset. I had diarrhea too, and for someone who has IBS and bad bowels anyway, they know the difference between loose stool and water flowing through them. It was the latter for me, and there was little comfort or relief to be found. So, I laid up in my bed, where it was dark till around 7ish. I took some extra strength alieve then and it seemed to help a bit (no doubt that combined with the meds I’d taken early was enough to beat it down to slightly bearable).

I know I feel asleep...but I was woken up around 9 to the gentle tune of Sweet Home Alabama. My borrowed cell has that as a ring tone. It was Mom, calling to ask how things were…which was kinda funny….in that, “I’ll look back at this and it’ll be funny”, way... But at the time, it scared me out of my wits. We had a short talk, and she confirmed that Dad would be coming tomorrow some time. He would leave around 8ish, so he’d probably get here sometime around 9 Monday night. Which means, I really need to go to the store and get some tape to wrap his gift =..= I used to have rolls and rolls of tape, and then Mom decided to “borrow” it for the move. I never see tape again.

Anyway...I realized it was 9 and I hadn’t taken my regiment of pills. So I took them, and then passed out. Slept great, too. I could still sleep actually...There’s a lingering effect of drowsiness along with this pressure in my head that increases when I stand up and walk around. Not pleasant, but since I work sitting down, typing, not totally debilitating. Dad will be down around 9 tonight, but other than that, I have no plans tonight. Other than giving him his gift. I hope today goes smoothly and I can actually last the full work day. Those migraines are starting to become more common, and they make it impossible to sit up straight, much less get anything accomplished.

Must be signing off now, before my strained span of consciousness gets taxed again. I’ll talk to ya’ll later (I hope). Bah-bye, Sunshines

Whoa...ok so, quite a bit of activity since I last posted. Friday afternoon...we worked a lot in the house. Dad said he’d laid all the trim out so that could paint it all. So, I primed and then painted all the trim that needed it...and aggravated my Syactic(sp?) nerve making it really hard to walk. Dad said that I would have to rest up Saturday because he didn’t want me over there if I was just going to be hurting myself more.

Saturday I was feeling terrible. My whole right leg and part of my right side was really killing me. So, I hobbled around the house for a while, trying to slowly put weight on my leg so that it would just adjust (or I would adjust to the pain, whichever). Mom and Dad stayed over at the house for quite a while, and I made myself useful by doing the laundry and brining them food and drinks.

Reiko called that afternoon/evening and asked if I’d mind hanging out with her for a little while. She said that her grandpa had died the day before and she was depressed and just wanted some company while she did chores and stuff. I didn’t mind since she drives me around and then drops me back off. Plus it’s nice to spend time with her when I can. She actually gave me my birthday/house warming preset. She said she couldn’t wait to give it to me. She got me Stardust...and the page is evidently not fully constructed yet. It’s the blue one on the end. She knows I collect them so when she was on vacation she saw this one and got it for me. Now isn’t that sweet? So, I decided to name her after Reiko so that I always remember where I got it. She had to take care of all her critters and clean up her room a bit. Milo’s cage needed to be cleaned out, her beta fish’s vase needed to be cleaned out, the litter box had to be changed and she wanted to show me her new snake. It’s a pink girl snake, which I assume will look great next to her red snake Mephisto. But we got the chance to talk a bit, and she just needed to keep busy so she wouldn’t be so depressed and she didn’t want to be by herself.

Sunday was Mom’s birthday. I had gotten her Wolfgang Puck 18 Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set, Quigley Down Under, Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats, and Sterlng Silver Filigree Dragonfly Hook Earrings with a matching necklace…that doesn’t appear to be in stock anymore. I had put the Quigley Down Under DVD in a box with the Necklace & Earrings, and I placed the Rachel Ray book against the back of that box and wrapped both together. And I’d been telling her for a while that I had all her gifts taken care of for the year, so she was fairly excited to see what I’d gotten her. So, after breakfast I gave her the small gift that I’d wrapped all together. She opened it and loved everything. Then I pretended to get confused and went in my room and brought out the huge box of pots (which I probably should’ve gotten Dad to do, since it aggravated my back all over again). She really loved all her gifts and was in a great mood before we left for church. Se was bragging about it to everyone she could.

After church, we had dinner at Sicily’s, which I enjoy if only for the salad bar ^..^ ...and desert =..= Heh. But yeah, we were supposed to go to Outback, but there was such a long line that we decided to head over to Sicily’s with my adopted grandparents. I swear, I enjoy throwing a lot of crap in my salad and Sicily’s is the only place I know that has a huge bar just for that. Anyway, after that, we headed home to get the other car. Dad had to go to the nursing home because it was his Sunday to sing. Mom and I headed to Budget Cuts and I got a hair cut (that I’m not totally happy with, but it’s hair, it’ll grow on me). Then we went to Wal-Mart to shop for groceries...and I ended up buying the first season of Heroes...I couldn’t help myself. We got all our groceries and headed home. I ended up watching disc 1-4 Sunday night and I didn’t really get to bed till about 3 a.m. O..o

Monday...I think I slept till around 10. Dad woke me up and I ate breakfast, then I got ready and we headed over to the Nexus again. I painted all of the bathroom trim, which is the only trim in the house that is a different color. Then we realized that we needed to paint the trim around the doors and windows =..= I guess it was more like, I realized the white trim was still on the wall, and Dad realized he’d forgotten to tape off or take off that trim for me to paint. So, after I painted the bathroom trim, I put first coats on all the stair rails, the sides of the stairs and the upstairs rail. Dad had to take a break for lunch, and I figured I would too. We took a break for a while and then headed back. I put second coats on everything and Dad put the first coat on the beams after cleaning them. Then we went to town and looked at trim. I found some that’s partially decent. We ate at Rally’s that night which is one of my favorite places even though I never eat there.

Last night, I got up to disc 6 on Heroes and I started reading Writing Out the Storm. It’s a pretty good book so far, but I’m kinda getting tired of the “Don’t be afraid, just write” theme that keeps repeating in the four chapters that I did read. I’m still planning on reading it though, just to see if it gets better.

I have to say, this weekend without internet wasn’t too bad. It was more like an annoyance than a crisis. The only purpose I had for internet was buying stuff from Amazon (and other places), chatting (which I don’t do much of lately), e-mailing (which no e-mails me much lately), and gaming (which I really want to just quit). It did suck that I couldn’t check mail or anything, but I did that this morning and didn’t have any mail...no love for MM. Sad panda.

Oh well...I’ll go ahead and sign off. I’ll talk later (if/when I can), Sunshines.

Your Score: House Tully

45% Dominant, 72% Extroverted, 63% Trustworthy

Dutiful. Affable. Total doormats. The kindest and gentlest of the houses, you are of House Tully.

You are a submissive personality, meaning that ruling is not something that intrigues you. You posses an odd kind of wisdom in knowing that the throne has too many drawbacks; your interests are far more domestic. You are no threat to the ruling powers, but your strong loyalties to hearth and home make you too difficult to be bought--and if you can’t be bought, you’re usually destroyed.

You are also introverted. You don’t enjoy broadcasting your devices and ambitions to the entire world; instead, you prefer to confide in a close-knit support system of friends and family. You’re very talkative with those you trust, and you’re the type of person who will review plans endlessly. Trust from you must be earned, and you’re very cautious around new people. In Westeros, that’s probably a good thing.

Perhaps most notably, you are trustworthy. Once you are connected to someone, you will stick with them, come Hell or high water. Your loyalties run very deep, and you’re definitely not the type to run willy-nilly betraying friends and destroying alliances. Unfortunately, you lack both the physical strength and the cojones to stand up to those who do you wrong. To those seeking power, you’re an obstacle--but a lawn mower doesn’t fear the garden gnome. Lions, dragons, and krakens all eat fish like you for breakfast.

Alright, so it’s almost completely confirmed that my computer has a worm. As such I stayed up till 2 in the morning trying to save various files to CD. =_______= I got a lot done, but there’s plenty left to be done. On the good side of things, Scamp is with us and we have had a blast. She gave me cheat codes for Katamari Damacy, and I got to legendary status!! It was much funness, even if it did keep us up till 11 something >.< Oh well. I’ll sleep well tonight…if I can manage to save as many files as possible. We’re also having a blast talking like crazy about everything from the Brits (mostly Sweet William), to family, and stories and her world and mine. Oh! She’s done an amazing drawing of Topez! I cannot wait to have that fully done and colored and everything. I can’t wait till we’ve fixed AMOS so that I can scan it on and put it on FaceBook. Or scan it and send it to her so she can put it on FaceBook…O.o either way. Whenever she goes back home next week, I’ll be sending all the other gifts I got for her sibs (my cousins).

I haven’t heard anything from Chibi...Rieko did send me an e-mail, and I quickly e-mailed her back regarding her schedule...If I haven’t heard anything by the end of the day, I’ll resort to making calls. Chibi said something about them not being here for Christmas because of the cruise they’re going on. The truth is that no one knows anything, so I’ll be referring over the phone whenever I can.

At work, both Mrs. Mary and Lacey are getting divorces from spouses that treat them poorly or have cheated on them. We don’t know how they can possible laugh at this, but I think it’s from the earlier experience. Both Lacey and Mrs. Mary have had this type of trouble before, so they’re not as devastated by it. Nicole said she’d be crying and Lori, Lenda and I agreed we’d probably be under investigation for justifiable homicide. /nod nod nod. It’s like it’s terrible, but they really are taking it in stride. S'probably more because they've little choice...

Oh well. That’s all for now. We got Lacey to get us some Raising Cains today, and from the headache that I’m getting tells me she needs to get back soon =__=

Current Music: Carry on my Wayward Son - Kansas

Work has been helping me to get through every day life very well it seems. Without the internet at home, work is the only place where I can actually have my online life anymore. I’ve been able to check e-mails and have a few conversations through my FaceBook (thank God for FaceBook since no one really e-mails me that much). I’m very grateful that we’ll be serviced by Com Cast soon, but I still worry over poor AMOS being so slow and degratitated (if you’ve seen Little Women you’ll laugh at that). I’m fortunate to be blessed with coworkers that are as fun to be around as any whom I’d choose to hang out with. They may not all be like me, but none of us really condemn each other for that sin. Each new story is so fun and delightful, it’s as if I’m learning something new of myself when they tell me of their lives. So today, I have to bits of Lacey.

Lacey is my giddy, girly buddy at ISR. The two of us rant, ramble, babble and giggle on about the silliest of things. But there are many times when Lacey tells stories about her home life that make my sides hurt from laughter. Two cases in point for yesterday.

1) Lacey told us about something her son Trystin did over the weekend. She said that he told his dad that he was writing a letter ‘to the fairies’. Of course, the kid had me at ‘a letter to the fairies’. But it gets better. Evidently, Trystin had a cat named Milo some time ago. And this Milo went missing. So Trystin had thought up this idea to write a letter to the fairies and ask them if they would mind checking on Milo wherever he was. He wanted to tell Milo that he missed him very much and he hoped he was happy and not dead. Ok, now this is a kid that I could really get along with.

2) Secondly was the cake. Ok, so not only are we (evidently) throwing Lacey a party, but she’s gonna be having one for herself at home. So, her hubby, Justin, tells her to go ahead and order her own cookie cake because he’s gonna be on his motorbike so he can’t very well pick it up or anything. Of course, Lacy thinks this is kinda …’frou-frou’ but it’s not like there’s anything she can do about it. So, Lori and I hear this and we tell her, “You know what? Since you’re ordering the cake, you should put something like ‘All Hail Queen Lacey’ or ‘Happy Birthday Queen Lacey’ on it!” She loved the idea! So now she’s gonna have a cake at her party tomorrow (at home at least) that’ll be all ‘happy birthday Queen Lacey’!

What else is there to talk about…? Oh yes! I almost forgot. I watched The Mists of Avalon the other night...gotta say: didn’t love the whole mover over-all, but there were several interesting spots here and there. For one thing movies full of gloom, despair, agony, arranged loveless marriages, incest and other such things are not my cup of tea to start out with. Though I do like the way the movie showed the original Christian, Pagan and Catholic religions. Especially showing how the Catholic religion was a lot like mixing Druid and Christian religions. Maybe I haven’t grown up enough yet, but in any movie in which there are more than a handful of characters and only one or two live (and even then do not necessarily live happily) is not a movie in which the ends justify the means.

Each day that passes, I try to clean a bit more than the day before because I know that ComCast will be coming in here on the 14th and I really want my room to be at least partially decent...which is quite a feat, I can assure you. But, alas, I don’t seem to be making much of a dent. Aye, there aren’t pillows and books and blankets all over the floor anymore, but all the tables and everything look just as bad as they did before. The down-side of picking stuff up off of the floor is you have to put it somewhere...and that’s what tables and such are for right? I’ll really crack down on it tomorrow. For now though, I’m just too tired.

Oh...I’ve such a sinus headache. What with the weather’s constant change, I can’t seem to get inoculated. Last week were in the mid 50’s. Then Friday we were in the 40’s. Saturday saw the 50’s again, Sunday it was in the 60’s and now we’re in the 70’s! Honestly! And they wonder why people can’t seem to get well =_= Oh well.

That’ll be all for now. We’re about to have Lacey’s birthday lunch and then have her surprise cake. I brought my camera, so I’m hoping I’ll have pictures up on my FaceBook later. Ja!

Today hasn’t been very good at all. I woke up around 9 this morning, and I had dark motes swimming all over my eyes. This usually signals a doozie of a migraine about to bite me in the ass. Sure enough, I had a huge headache all over my face, behind my eyes, and all around my skull. Turns out I was having a sinus headache along with one of my doozies, so I had to take sinus medicine and migraine medicine. I slept from about 11 to 4 and I couldn’t stayed sleeping. Now I’m groggy and I just feel sick. So, I’m laying low and taking it easy right now, in hopes that everything’ll be better tomorrow. Now...if you’ll excuse me...I can no longer stay upright...and I’ve got a date with the Master’s Saga.

Wow...the last few days, man. They’ve been a bit odd. Not too long after my post Tuesday, I got this terrible migraine and had to go home. I got there and Aunt Lane’s dog, Pocco, was in his kennel so I took him out first so that he wouldn’t have any accidents in the house. Then I took a quick shower, and by that time Mom and Aunt Lane were back home. Mom gave me two pills for my migraine, and I took both o them. Afterwards she says, “You didn’t take both of those did you?” and I was like “yeah…” and she says “You were only supposed to take one and take the other 8 hours later!!” so, she and Aunt Lane kept watching me like they expected me to plop over all ‘timber’ like any second, but my constitution doesn’t get sedated easily na no da. Other than not being able to move suddenly or walk a straight line, I was fine. Talk about knock the headache out too.

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 was just on to ...what was I doing?...Oh! Ri~ight! I was finishing up my little 'project' and then sending Gillian (

wotcherscamp) my reply. God, I love reading her e-mails...I just wish we could get together (in the physical sense -.-) more often. Anyway... Of course, Hotmail has decided to be evil, and it's staying in my Outbox for some reason...>_> wtf, hotmail? Have I not been loyal enough? I only have one e-mail...Grrness. I am satisfying my time by reading over her latest journal entries (until the pain in my ear becomes too great, and then I must away).

Moving on. I just took this test and I had to post the results. I thought this was too funny.

What's Your Reputation at Hogwarts? (26 different characters)

Everyone's Friend:
House: Gryffindor
Best Friend(s): Hermione, Fred, George, Blaise, and Cedric.

Gryffindors
Harry: Thinks of you as a great friend and possibly more, but likes the energy the two of you have when you're joking around as friends.
Ron: Gets jealous of Harry when you two are together because he's had quite the crush on you for a long while, and Harry knows it. He once tried to approach you about the Yule Ball, but got sick and vomitted all over himself.
Hermione: Loves you like you were her own sister. You study together, do your hair together, and even stay in the same dorm.
Oliver Wood: Misses the fun you had together in the library (no, nothing perverted.) and still visits you over holidays.
Fred and George Weasley: Asked you to work as a third member at their shop because they love your sense of humor.
Seamus Finnigan: Used to like you, but figured you'd be better off as friends after he talked with Ron.
Neville Longbottom: Is nervous around you even though he doesn't like you as more than a friend. He once admitted to Harry that it was because of your natural beauty.
Dean Thomas: Thinks that sometimes you can be too kind to people who don't deserve it.
Ginny Weasley: Is slightly jealous of the chemistry you hold with Harry, but can't deny that she looks up to you.
Parvati Patil: Has a picture of you in her bathroom so that she can look just like you.
Padma Patil: Thinks her sister is stupid to be exactly like you, even though tries to shop at the same stores as you.

Hufflepuffs
Cedric Diggory: Is a close friend of yours and wouldn't be anything near where he is today (or isn't?) without you.

Ravenclaws
Cho Chang: Loves to go shopping with you at Hogsmeade.

Slytherins
Draco Malfoy: Has only talked to you once, but still thinks you're a kind person even if you are in Gryffindor and even if he pretends he doesn't.
Crabbe: Doesn't really pay attention to you because he's always eating or sleeping.
Goyle: Same as Crabbe.
Pansy Parkinson: Does her make up like you so that she can look like you.
Marcus Flint: Wishes his teeth weren't so jacked up so that he could have a better chance with you.
Blaise Zabini: Sneaks out of his dorm at night to meet you in the library so you can talk without having any of his Slytherin friends interrupting.

Teachers
Dumbledore: Is extremely proud of how far you've come since first year and hopes that you'll keep it up.
Professor McGonagall: Likes you a tad bit more than she does Hermione, which is saying something.
Professor Flitwick: Could go on and on [and he did (I had to cut the interview short)] about you and your generosity.
Professor Trelawney: Always predicts a bright future for you.
Professor Snape: Isn't nice to you, but he isn't particularly cruel either. As much as he denies it, you are one of his brightest students.
Filch: Is too busy taking care of his cat.

...and I thought...What!? When am I everyone's friend? I mean, let's all face it...I'm not the nicest person, right? But then I got to thinking abuot it...and I was like...I am really friendly to everyone when I first meet them. And if they remain freindly, I remain friendly. I'm not that big into confrontation, so I never actually create one if I can get by, but I'm not nice to people that are mean to me. So yeah, I guess I am friendly to everyone...A Harry Potter quiz is right? Who knew!

Ok. The pain in my ear is too sever (hey, that rhymes ^.^). Off to reading land for me.

PS: This thing with my ear, is probably gonna be the last speed-bump on the ride to 'Driving MM Crazy' @_@'

Gosh, but today has been bad. I just haven’t been feeling well for a while, and what happens tonight? The power goes out. Around 1:30ish someone crashed into the telephone pole at the front of our street. We didn’t get the power back till just after 7 this morning =.= We still don’t have cable either. I’ve been passing the time by watching Fruits Basket. Over-all a terrible night. Let’s face it, half the battle for a good-night’s sleep is staying asleep. I tossed and turned all night through. I feel so tired and my stomach’s really starting to get on my nerves. I hope work passes quickly today -.-

Oh yeah...we have a mandatory ‘sound’ meeting tonight at church. Yay...I hope it doesn’t last too long.

Other things on the radar: Mom and I are going to window shop Saturday, our main stop being Bed, Bath and Beyond. Also, we want to go see the new POTC movie (who doesn’t?). I’ve also been kinda working on my little Jellies™. I’ve been trying to make new faces for them. I’m no artist by any means, but anime faces are pretty easy to draw, so that always works best.

Ok /sigh. Guess that’s all for this post. Must go put on that wretched make up. Ta.

Wow...what day is it? Oh...it’s Survivor/CSI day. Right. Somehow this past week has been odd. It’s like I feel like I’m kinda in a depression...It’s weird because I’m not depressed about anything per se...it’s just, I don’t want to do anything or go anywhere and all I want to do is sleep. I’m bored with everything, and it’s getting on my nerves. I can’t write either, it makes me furious. I really want to get out of this funk.

Ok moving on. Yesterday was kinda fun. I kinda just fooled around all day till the afternoon. I stared watching Waterworld just to kill time. I got a call from Reiko. She said she wanted to come to church and wanted us to sit in the sanctuary while Bro. Packy preached instead of going to class. I was kinda ok with that. I never really enjoy class that much.

Mom and I went to Applebee’s before church. Mom got Nachos Nuevos...it’s was kinda like a taco salad...only three times the size of a normal taco salad. I got the Shrimp & Parmesan Sirloin Combo with a brownie desert. I totally enjoyed my steak. It was great (after I sent it back to the kitchen because I cut it open and it was red).

We got to church, and Reiko was no where to be seen, so I went to class. I got lucky because linuXman was teaching. I like listening to him teach stuff because he’s smart, and understanding what he says actually makes me feel like I’m smart. So, it’s a win-win thing.

Ok, so today...I slept till like 11:45 a.m. I was surprised. I mean, I haven’t slept like that since I’d just gotten out of high school. I got up, and I made my breakfast. Mom told me that she’s sick. Well, she’s got her usual nausea, dizziness and lightheaded stuff that she always gets every few weeks. So, we watched Gilmore Girls and American Idol that we’d missed just to kill time. Then I got a call from the furniture store I applied at. They want to interview me tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited abut that. It’s a great opportunity. But I’m not gonna get too hopeful. It’s just an interview after all. But I funny intend to call the staffing people after the interview just to check in with them.

I totally missed doing my Mid-Week Review for the TV shows that I always watch. I usually do that on Wednesdays. Mostly because Wednesday is the middle of the week, and because I’m posting rants in ruby_unicorn, thus I feel responsible to find something to ramble on about that’s positive. So, here’s a late review just for the heck of it.

( The Midweek TV Review )

/sigh I still haven’t finished watching Waterworld from yesterday. I’m gonna go do that...right after I make some college cuisine. Later!

Busy

Super Pig! I cannot believe the day I’ve had. I haven’t even done much, for Huffelpuff’s sake! I’ve been trying to move my web site around. You know, break the huge file into individual smaller files so that I can actually put them on web sites without Tripod flipping me off. Well, then I realized there were several sections that needed attention graphics wise. Now usually I tend to the graphics on the other computer (it has Corel Draw on it and I work best on that), but I try to limit the amount of work that I do graphics wise so that I can keep my ever-fragile grip on sanity. So, I finished up most of the graphics for the ‘Fun Stuff’ section. It’s a section for fun things that I do (Dollz, Sheeps, Graduation and Convention are the main features).

Well, I decided to check and see how much space was on the fun section to see if it would need a section all to itself. It’s something like 65 friggin’ MB! I only just realized that my pictures from the AWA convention are like 61 MB in all. So I’m now going through them to see what’s what, and I realized that all the AWA pics are like 2032 X 1524 (pixel of course). That’s a huge pictures. And since these are pictures from when I first got my camera, and I wasn’t good at taking pictures; I don’t really want to have huge fuzzy pics up there. So all the pics are being resized to 1024 X 768 pixels. It seems to be decreasing the size by half. If it still isn’t down, I may try converting to 800 X 600...we’ll see.

Other than that I’ve been doing a lot of reading and writing. Sometimes I just get that yen and I go on a roll. I knew that I was probably taking it to the extreme hermit-crab stage when Dad kept checking in on me. I was thinking about how he was getting a little obsessive since I’d only been in here a little while and then I looked at the clock and realized it’d been about, oh, 8 hours. O.O yeah. Sometimes I just want to read, and I can do that for hours on end. But then there are times when I read, and the reading makes me really want to write. And it was one of those on-again, off-again things again this time.

Mom has been so sick today. Dad said she woke up at 4 something in the morning and was so nauseous and sick. She’s done little more than sip soup, suck on pop cycles, and lay around. I hope she feels better in the morning. Unfortunately, since Mom’s immune system was whipped out by Hepatitis B she just doesn’t recover as fast as she used to.

Oh yeah...that job interview. It went kinda well in the fact that I think he thought I was descent. Otherwise it was a bust. Guy wanted me to work 8-5 Mon-Fri, and then travel around with him to local places to set up presentations, and he didn’t have any benefits. I mean, I don’t have insurance (health insurance that is), and that’s a huge issue. If I’m gonna put all this effort into your business, then you had better be watching my back. So, after the interview, I called my contact lady at the Staffing place and told her to turn him down if he chose me. It’s just too much responsibility too quick for me.

Other than that, life’s been blissfully quiet. I’ve taken my shower, and my pills and I should be off to bed as soon as I can tear myself away from Dream Weaver. So, before I drop from the pills, goodnight everyone.

Indescribable

Yo. It feels like I haven’t posted in forever when really it was only a day without posting. For someone who can do up to 4 posts a day when she gets excited, that feels like a stretch.

Ok, so yesterday I was just feeling blah, you know? It was just a bad case of restless indifferent slothfulness. It sucked. I wasn’t feeling great about where I was or what I was doing, so I did what I always do when that happens; I submersed myself in fan fiction and did nothing else.

By night, I realized I really hadn’t done anything. So, I got on AMOS and hacked away at the old web site. Found a few things that were wrong with the EQ Characters site that I fixed. Then, I started looking over the unfinished site, and realized I have a hell of a lot of work to do.

I did a lot of stuff graphics-wise and sorting-wise, but it feels like I’ve done nothing. I went to bed around 10:30 feeling kinda bad.

I woke up around 2:43 a.m. I was nauseous and hungry-ish. I had gone to bed kinda hungry, but I really didn’t want to eat since Mom and Dad had already gone to bed too. So at 2:45 I slipped into the kitchen and poured out the reminder of the freshly squeezed orange juice Mom and I had made together a couple of days ago. I took a couple of sips, went to the bathroom, and threw up. It was one of those things where you feel terrible while it’s happening, but once it’s over it’s like a relief...kinda like peeling off a scab or something. My relief didn’t last too long. I tried to go back to bed, but I couldn’t sleep. So around 3:20 I slipped back into the kitchen for some water. Threw that up too. I tossed, I turned, I hoped, I prayed, I debated whether I should wake the rents (they’re always so concerned about those things, even though they can’t do anything about them). Then I said to myself, “I’m not sleeping anyway, I might as well try a popsicle.” Mom buys these Dole popsicles. They’re supposedly made from real fruit juice, and there’s less sugar than other brands. So, it took me a while to eat the thing, because my stomach was still so jumpy. I just layed there and bit off a small chunk, then sucked on it till it had melted. After the popsicle was done, I tried to get back to sleep. It took over an hour for my stomach to stop rolling, but I finally did get to sleep.

I slept so hard though, that I didn’t really enjoy it. Then I woke up feeling weird, and told Mom and Dad what had happened. I had a cup of coffee and some peaches for breakfast because I was still feeling terrible.

Then Mom announces that she and Dad need to head to Wal-Mart. And I know that I should go with them, because a lot of the times, they don’t know exactly what to buy me, so it just helps things go a lot smoother if I’m actually there. So, I agreed to go. I dressed comfortably and we headed out. While there, there were a couple of things I noticed, that I’d really like to point out right now.

Our Wal-Mart is being remodeled inside. At first, things were really subtle...a few of the tiles on the floors were missing, some of the departments had actually been moved without anyone seeing it happen, Wal-Mart employees doing a rather impressive impersonation of headless chickens. That sort of thing. But then, we went today and the clothing department had wood flooring. Or at least mock wood flooring...The eye glasses place is boarded up, meaning we’ve got more of a bottleneck to get across the store after check out. All the aisles are facing a different direction, and almost all of the departments are in a different place. The only places thus far that have yet to be moved are the pharmacy, hair, makeup, soaps, and grocery sections. The clothes are all in the same place (mostly), they’re just mixed up...they’re still in the center of the store and all, it’s just that the women’s clothes are where the men’s were...I don’t know where the men’s clothes are; I don’t shop for men.

Ok, I did not know this, but evidently everyone else did. I hate it when people think you know something, so they decide not to tell you. Honestly, how’s anyone gonna learn with that philosophy in mind? Anyway, I found out that Wal-Mart sells Pocky. Seriously. My Wal-Mart has dark chocolate and strawberry flavored Pokcy. And since Strawberry Pocky is one of my favorite snacks, I’ve been buying like 2-4 boxes every time that I visit Wal-Mart. When I tell all my friends that there’s Pocky at Wal-Mart they’re all like, “Oh yeah. I knew that...” and I’m like, “Waterfalls?” In our place it’s near the coffee section, in with other Japanese-ish stuff like Meso Soup and such.

Also another thing that’s always made me laugh about Wal-mart; birds. Alfred Hitchcock would be scared shitless! There are crows and other types of birds all over our parking lot. And not just Wal-Mart (although there seem to be more of them there), they’re in all the parking lots. Now, I’m sure that that isn’t anything new. I’m betting that anyone who reads this will think, “Yeah, my Wal-Mart has a lot of birds in the parking lots too.” This is what I’ve noticed though. Sea gulls. That’s right, sea gulls. They’re all over the parking lot all the time. It’s weird. I mean, they’re sea gulls, right? Shouldn’t they be at the Sea? It’s like that old joke, “Why do Sea gulls only fly over the sea? Because if they flew over Bays they be Bay Gulls.” Well, I guess we have Parking Lot Gulls. Waterfalls? I mean, I often wondered if the states that are close to large bodies of water have sea gulls in their parking lots...

Ok, rants over...for now. I’ll get my second wind eventually. So, yeah, we went to town and I still felt miserable, but it was one of those ‘just deal’ moments. I came home, and I finally wrote out that letter to Odango (chaineddove). I only started writing the damn thing 4 days ago...or...something...no wait, I started writing on the 8th...it’s the 13th...that’s like, 6 days. Dude. I suck. Oh well, I finally got it all typed up (even the envelope) and it’s stamped and ready to go. It’ll go out with Monday’s mail.

Speaking of mail; yesterday, I ordered the first volume of the second season of Gargoyles. I ordered it yesterday.../thinks...yesterday mid-morning I suppose. I just had the extra money, and I was like, “Ok, I have $50 extra, I’m bored outta my mind...oh...second season Gargoyles...Cha-ha-ha.” So, I ordered it, and then 2 seconds later I get a confirmation of the thing going through, then I get a note from the seller (I bought used/new) saying it’s in the mail today. I was so stoked. So, it went out with Friday’s mail. I was happy about that. It means I’ll be getting it sooner. I’m so happy.

Other than that I’ve been varying between working on my web site and watching Tenchi Universe. I know it’s not the best anime, but it makes me laugh. That’s all I need. I’m still a bit confused why Tenchi in Tokyo doesn’t have it’s on box set...I don’t buy individual DVDs when it comes to anime. If it’s not in a box set, then I’m not gonna get it...9 times out of 10 that is.

Oh well. I still have a few things I’d like to tweak on my web site, and tomorrow will come early as always. So I shall now sign off. Goodnight.

Hello, everyone. Today has been interesting to say the least. Went with Mom to the doctor this morning and Doc gave us medicine. I gotta say, I feel worse today than I felt over the weekend. Mom had a sort of relapse thing, and now I’m afraid I might do the same thing. God, I hate being sick like this.

Ok, so Mom and I got food and medicine while we were in town, and if felt like it took us everything we had just to do that. So, we got home and took our meds, and the meds made us a little woozy. But, I still got on and gathered up pictures to make color bars. I present to you the two Johnny Depp color bars that I made for Chibi (amai_tenshi).

I have posted here, in her journal, and sent her the raw html codes. I found out that the link that I use through the Massive Tool Thingy to link back to my journal can be used on any web page unlike LJ’s ljuser html thingy.

I also made these three colorbars for Demona my favorite character from Gargoyles. Tada!

I just can’t decide which one I like better! They’re all good and all true, so I kept them all. Yeah. I’m a looser.

Reiko came over afterward...I think it was afterward...yeah it was. ‘Cause I showed her all the colorbars and Johnny was among them. I had been bugging her about her books that she’d left over here. She brought chocolate chip cookies, we watched many videos and had some delight even though I was ailing thusly. Dude. No matter how hard I try to use cool words like that, I never sound as good as tinhuviel.

Oh! I got an e-mail from an old friend of mine who saw my profile on MySpace. Good old Senshi (not that he’s old or anything). We kinda lost track of each other and got busy with life. You know how that goes, you forget to drop a line and life just goes on without you. But he sent me an e-mail and got a song stuck in my head, and got me to rambling and made me totally forget what I was doing, so we’re all good. /stops and looks back and forth confused Uh...whatever. Anyway, yeah so, it was great to hear from him again. That’s the second old friend that I haven’t talked to in what felt like ages that I’ve gotten in touch with lately. I hope it keeps up. I’ve gotten to where I feel like I don’t have anyone to talk to through e-mails and AIM and such before all this.

Ah well. Other than that...not much has happened. I started writing the beginnings of another EQ chapter. But it’s probably barely a page long. I’ll have to see what I’m doing and how I’m feeling tomorrow before I can say how that’ll develop.

Well, I’m really tired and I’ve been fighting off this feeling all day long. I shall now submit to the meds and sleep. Goodnight.

Mixed up

What a day. Ok…desperately in need of an update. Friday was oh, so much fun.

( Here Be Pictures and incessant babbling from days gone past )

I got to Chibi’s(amai_tenshi), and realized that Reiko wasn’t there. So I called Reiko and asked where she was and she was like, “When ya’ll want me to be there?” and I was like, “Uh…now.” And she’s like, “Why didn’t you call me?!” and I’m all like, “You’re gonna be 18 in March. I kinda figured you could set an alarm or something.” So Chibi and I had hot-mocachino-hotchocolate-coffee-goodness and made small-talk till she got there. We then talked a bit and made Reiko a drink like ours, and then we exchanged gifts. But not before Reiko made fun of Chibi’s cheeks. Chibi had just gotten her wisdom teeth pulled Wednesday, so her cheeks were still huge.

Here’s Reiko’s gifts. Some MeruPuri Manga (I think) from Chibi, and from me she got Ju-on and Ring-U the original Japanese versions of the Ring and The Grudge.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Chibi’s gifts! She got the first season of Firefly from me, and from Reiko she got The Last Samurai, the cute round-top red&black purses and the bath-scent stuff.

And MM’s gifts. Princess Mononoke from Chibi, and The Brothers Grimm from Reiko along with the square red&black purses and bath stuff...is Reiko trying to tell us we smell? No, her mom got it for us...that’s just as bad I suppose. Oh well.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Ok so now we move on to checking stuff out on Chibi’s computer, and since Reiko hasn’t had the internet in ages she’s usually stuck to the monitor.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

But watching someone fool around on the computer can be boring. I think that’s what Chibi’s cat was trying to say with this body language.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

So, we decided to watch The Brothers Grimm in the family room...here’s Chibi trying to work the DVD players.

Reiko reapplies makeup while we wait. I choose to continue taking pictures...obviously.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Well, I got my ‘Moto-chan picture for this year I suppose. All is well with the world.

After going online and watching the Emo Video to our hearts content, Reiko did a few Emo shots for us.

But Reiko had to leave for work...that didn’t stop her from turning up the stereo and making an exit.

Chibi and I went back inside and Chibi had a little too much fun with my picture and the photoshop program.

The End. Of the pictures at least.

So, that was all that’s good about Friday. Sloths’ Cons are so much fun. Ok, moving on!

By Saturday, I was sick. Very very sick. Sicker than a dog...why do we have that expression? Dog’s are famed for being sick...Anyway. I think I had a sinus infection, because I hacked, coughed, wheezed, and my voice became qualified for that of a phone sex operator. I did very little of anything Saturday, but laze around and tried to find something interesting to do. And worse, that night Mom started showing the symptoms that I’d been showing Friday night.

That’s right, Sunday we woke up with both of us coughing, hacking and wheezing. What’s worse, our air conditioner decided it didn’t want to cool us off any more. We had to open all the windows, which wasn’t terrible since it was pleasant out. Is it really January? Well, if the weather’s any indication for LA the new year will be great. Can’t say so much for Texas, California and all the other states that are getting flipped off by Mother Nature. Sorry guys. So Sunday was much like Saturday, only in stereo.

Monday, Mom and I finally started moving about more, not that we wanted to, we just knew we needed to. I got a call from a place I’d sent a resume to... HRM. It’s a graphics place that makes business cards, stationary, posters, maps (for tracking hurricanes and otherwise), and anything else that can be put on paper. Wanted to interview me and asked if I was free today at 2. I said I was and that was that. I also called my Sunday school teacher who’d been “working” on AMOS here. I shall from hence forth call him…

Lunixman!

…because that’s the name he choose for himself. So, I called Lunixman and he said that there was no doc for the hard drive to sit in so whoever told me that there was had lied. So he said my best bed would be to just get a USB thing that I can plug the hard drive into and I can’t do that right now. It coast at least $80 the last time I checked, and I can’t afford that. So I told him to patch AMOS up and I’d pick him up today sometime.

Today...God, today was so emotionally draining. Got up around 8ish this morning. I slept pretty well, but that’s partially due to the fact that I haven’t slept well the nights before. I was either ill and coughing and all, or I had to sleep with the window open for air and I couldn’t sleep because some douche-bag was popping fire works, or a dog was barking, or the wind chimes constantly gonging, or birds...you know what? I’m not gonna relive that. Anyway, I slept really good, only I felt like I could go on sleeping. But if I wake up fully and then go back to sleep, each time I wake up I feel like I’m more tired. So, I got up and drank two cups of coffee. I went and picked up AMOS from Lunixman’s place. Set AMOS up and posted here with that brief thingy there. Mom had called the air conditioner people and he was check out AC. Turns out we have a Freon leak. So he filled the thing up with Freon and told us to watch it, because he couldn’t find the leak. Just great. The thing is almost 3 years old and in ACs that’s still new. It shouldn’t be turning on us like this. Mom had to pay the guy $110 too, and that’s money we didn’t really have. I went on my interview, and dropped a resume off at a local place that wanted people to come and drop the resumes off in person instead of mailing them in. The interview didn’t go too well. I got that impression at least. But what can you do?

After that I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things that we needed. I didn’t spend but 15 minutes there. My shopping style is really get in-get out and that’s it. And since I was dressed up and in heels I really didn’t want to be there any longer than necessary. I mean, the whole purpose of putting on a pair is heels is to make your legs and butt look good. So here I am walking around Wal-Mart and I can’t really help but walk that way right? I mean, I’m a boutylicious girl as it is, so there’s motion in the ocean with or without heels. And I hate to get the idea that people are staring at me. I don’t like actracting attention...unless I do. But then it’s different.

Anyway, I got home, and Bub was still MIA, and Mom was upset about it so when I told her that the lady who interviewed me told me she had 20 other people to consider she took it out on me. I didn’t really mind too much it was just slightly depressing. But I got online and tried to forget about it. She kinda apologized a little later, and I could understand it. I mean she’s sick and feeling miserable, and then her son is gone and his buss leaves tonight at 12 midnight, and he’s no where to be found and...ok these issues are getting to angsty for this journal. I’ll have to put them in ruby_unicorn later...if I have the energy.

I edited chapter 26 of the The EQ Saga. I still haven’t put it up on FF.net yet...but I think I’ll do that on the 5th...just because I like the number 5. I was thinking of using 5’s as a element in the story now. Not in the plot or anything ya know, just maybe update the story on the 5th or 15th or 25th of each month. That gives me a goal to work towards that would be more regular. /shrug. Just something to think about.

Also, I got on AIM, and suddenly a buddy alert popped up and said that an old friend of mine was on. And I hadn’t talked to her in a while...I don’t remember exactly how long, but it had been a while. So, I IMed her and we got to talking. We had a nice long talk, and eventually she was like “Do you have any recent pics of yourself?” and I was like, “Uh, sure.” And she gave me a link to her Photobucket and so I gave her a link to mine. Then I relized she was on FF.net, and LJ. So I have now added chaineddove to my friend’s list on both journals. Thanks again to Allah Sulu's Massive Tool for the cute little Shampoo icon near her name! This girl and I have been friends for like 6 years or so. She and I would send anime to each other all the time back and forth. She had a ‘moto-chan just like I did, only their Sister-Sister group was Odango and HamHam. It’s great to know that we both have a lot of stuff still in common, and we both enjoy talking to each other still.

So now, Bub finally got home, and Mom hurried him to pack and bathe and all that so that they could leave. They’re gone and I’m holding up the fort. If I don’t hear anything back from Chibi soon, I’m gonna go and take my shower and then check back. I can’t wait till we can go see Narnia again...I know I’ve seen it already but it’s seeing it with her! Oh well. I’m gonna rest my eyes for a while and then go shower and then that’ll be it for me for tonight. Goodnight!

I LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!

OK, AMOS is back online, and I don’t have a lot of time. But I’m back up and running.

Quick update

—AMOS went away for nothing because SS-man still couldn’t install the hard drive in him.
—Sloths’ Con was great Friday! Had tons of fun.
—Our AC went out, we’ve had our windows open all weekend, which isn’t too bad since the weather’s so nice down here.
—Mom and I have been sick all weekend, we’ve only just started recovering to the point we can pass as human.
—I’m going for an interview today (why I’m so rushed).
—Thomas should be leaving today, that is if he shows up.

And...that’s all I can think of so far. Now that AMOS is up and running, I have to check e-mail and then I have to go and get ready for job interview stuffs. Blah u_____u. I’ll give a full update later, I promise.

Ja!

Mood:

Nerdy

Man, today was interesting...or something like it. After my last post, I went ahead and typed up a few things that needed typing up. Then I realized that I was really really tired because of the sinus headache medicine I had to take when I woke up. I figured this out when I was staring at my computer screen, and my screen saver kicked on twice O.o

So, I grumbled that my computer was trying to give me a hint and took a nap. That must’ve been...around 12:30ish...I didn’t wake up till like 4 something. I was like, “Hmm, that was a nice little nap there—Whoa!” I was just not feeling very well at all. I mean my sinuses are killing me and then the weather starts changing (again) and then we kiltz my walls. Things are just ganging up on me here. So, Mom and I finished taping off the trim that we couldn’t get to the other day. She’d bought some more tape that was smaller, so it fit the smaller trim better. And we puttied up some of the holes in the walls.

We also moved my California closets out of the room so we’ll be able to just get that wall done with when we wake up tomorrow. The idea is to hurry up and get that wall done along with the wall my bed is by so that we can hurry up and move everything back in. The hard part will be doing the computer corner here. Because we’re either going to have to unplug and move everything (which is looking to be the case more and more every day), or we’ll have to drape a tarp over the computer and paint around it.../sigh. I’m thinking it’d be easier (as far as the painting goes) to just unplug everything and get it out of here. But it’s so hard to get back behind these shelves, and there’s so much to unplug. I’m really dreading that, but Mom says we should leave that for last and have Dad do most of it. /grin Gotta love Mom for that.

So, then we watched Wife Swap and then it was CSI: NY and then I showered. Loved CSI: NY tonight btw. The guy locked in the panic room having to make do with the stuff he hand in there to process the scene...that was great. Wife Swap was amusing as well...but it seems quite repetitive. And ever since they had that episode with that freaky woman who went hysterical because the family she was with was into astrology, I’ve had a slight distaste for it. I guess it’s just ‘cause I felt like that woman totally sucked.

Ok, so I’m online and I see this thing on a CoH link site. It says you can make super hero cards of your characters with this Card Creator thing. So I tried it out and ended up making cards for all my characters. Check them out and tell me what you think. I’ve provided summaries of who they are too, in hopes that it doesn’t confuse you too much -.-

( More CoH Crazyness! )

And, my God, it’s already 11:59. /shakes head sighing. I really need to get to bed. I’ll be waking up early and painting more tomorrow. Oh well. Goodnight everyone.

Blah on account of meds

Yo. /sigh. Right. So, yesterday wasn’t one of my better days. Today hasn’t been an absolutely great one either. Anyone who’s actually friend listed at ruby_unicorn can read about the other day, and if you aren’t friend listed at ruby_unicorn...then, my God, but you haven’t been trying very hard, have you? /sigh. Yesterday..how would tinhuviel put it? Ah yes, ‘my moon’ came upon me. It was utterly wretched because the day was supposed to be great, and here I was in labor. Then we went to church and that was a whole ordeal. That’s a small summary of yesterday.

Today wasn’t too much better. Thank God for the good things, because otherwise, I would be one very depressed psycho bunny...and we couldn’t very well have that now could we? I decided today to copy all of my journal entries from now on and send them to my Twin-san (animequeen). Including this one (/waves. Hi, Twin-san!). She never posts to her journal, so of course she doesn’t see mine, and I don’t send out e-mail updates because I assume everyone can just go to my journal. So, it’s a terrible mental trap that we’ve fallen into, and thus we have not really spoken at all in so very very long. I thought about it the other day, and I still find it amusing. She’s always online by all appearance, because her screen name is always active...however she’s never really online because she’s always away. I’m hardly ever online, but when I am on, I’m totally there. Funny, no?

What else did I do today? Oh! I did start using the moods that I made for myself in both my journals (both msmoon & ruby_unicorn). ruby_unicorn didn’t take too long, because the entries weren’t too many. But msmoon has far too many posts for me to do the entire journal; so, I just started with the post where I showed off my moods and continued on from there. Even with that, it was still a lot...geeze that was back in September after all. I got to the point where I liked them so much, I figured I’d better start using them at some point or I never would.

I went over to my old (old, old, old, really really old) web site, and I read over the web page Chibi(amai_tenshi) had made me for my jellies, and I nearly died laughing. I’d almost forgotten about that web page...and it’s not like I can update it because Chibi’s the one who made it...so there’s just one little lone comic up there. It all started a long time ago. I always joked that I could never draw anything but sickly stick-people, and someone said something about how they were sure I could draw something. So I started drawing little jellyfish characters, each one with a different set of eyes. The eyes came mostly from computer symbols. This one ^.^ is the happy face, =.= is tired etc. Well, I was somewhere, and I wrote Chibi a letter and I made a comic with the my Jellies on it, and she scanned it in and fixed it up and made a web page about it. So now I have my own trade mark “MM’s Jellies”. If I had Corel Draw on this computer, I might try to make a jelly theme to this journal. I now have my own stationary set with the jellies and I doodle them all over everything. So that was a nice trip down memory lane. I only wish Chibi would send me the files and stuff so I could continue to add to it. Oh well...

I finally got a call back from Reiko, and we are going to the movies tomorrow. Which is good, because I really need to get out of this house and Reiko always manages to cheer me up a bit. She said the day I called, she’d given blood and she doesn’t remember anything that happened that day. But she does want to go with me. Mom also wants to go with me, but she can’t because tonight’s a women’s thing at the church...she said she’d take me Tuesday if she could. Which would be nice, ‘cause Mom’s never gotten into C.S. Lewis’s stuff, and only saw my enthusiasm from it.

Oh, another funny thing that happened today: I installed City of Heroes on my computer. I ended my subscription at the beginning of this year, but for some strange reason I have a yen to plan the damn thing again. In fact, I want to play CoH more than I do EverQuest. I think that’s weird and funny, but I do not often deny my urges. Now, I don’t have my subscription renewed or anything so I can’t actually play. Why did I install the thing? Because I’m a moron, of course. I do want to play, and one day I will play. I don’t know when or how I’ll come to that point, but I’ll get there. And when I do, I won’t have to install the damn thing. It’ll be installed already. I was thinking of saving up a lot of money, and just buying a year’s worth subscription. It’s like $143 something for that, but it boils down to you paying a little over $11 per month. If you buy for 3 months it’s a little over $13 per month, and if you buy for six it’s a little over $12 per month. So this way, I figure I’m actually giving myself more options and saving more money. /shrug. In some universe, that does make sense. Maybe not this one, but somewhere it does.

Ok, so I’m now officially zonked from the meds and all, and I don’t see how anyone else really cares about the crap I talk about. So I’ll just go to sleep now, shall I? Good. Very good. Goodnight everyone.

Taking Names

Yo. Let’s see how we did on the check-list shall we?

1) Woke up – Check
2) Went to Work – Check
3) Hated every living second of work – Check
4) Went through horrific spasming pains because of work – Check
5) Hobbled home receiving death glares – Check

Yep! My day’s pretty much complete so far.

This frikkin job sucks now. It’s only been what? Two weeks so far. And already I hate it. I hate the unreasonable amount of physicality, I hate the way people expect you to know everything about everything, and I hate the way people seem to think the job is more important than life itself. Hello?! Helo~o! No job is worth my self esteem and physical soundness, thank you.

Today was the best so far /sarcasm. After getting to work I received the cold shoulder from even people I knew before I started working at the stupid place. Why? Well, because I called in sick the day before, of course! Like it’s my fault I’m sick or something. People were more distant towards me, they put me to work without wanting to talk or caring about what had happened yesterday. So, I was just like, whatever, right?

It’s not my fault this job’s a frikkin gauntlet!

Oh, and even better! I get there and a new lady is there. I’ve never seen her before. So I introduce myself and ask who she is and how long she’ll be working today. She says she’s working ‘9 to whenever’ and that she’s ‘the replacement for the girl that didn’t show up yesterday.’ The only girl I know of that didn’t show up yesterday...was me. And she’s all excited because she says she’s being trained to supervise nights and weekends. Hmmm, kinda sounds like the job description that was pitched to me too. That’s just great, I call in sick for one day and already they’re replacing me.

Honestly, I don’t care too much. She can have the damn job. It’s just so disappointing to get attached to these people and begin to rely on them, only to have them stab you in the back for being human. Honestly. I hope someone throws their shortcomings in their faces.

Then I checked my e-mail...I’m getting to where I want to change my e-mail address again, but I’ve forgotten how to configure Outlook Express /rolls eyes. I had 7 e-mails today. 1 was from rattgirl-chan, 1 was from a newsletter I subscribe to, and the other 5 were all “Pay off your mortgage!”, “Lose weight quickly!”, “Rapid Fire Ring tones!” and enlargement of organs that I don’t even have. Honestly! Why do we have to get cyber-junk-mail? Don’t we all get enough junk-mail in real life? But, even though I’ve gone over to hotmail every day and blocked all the companies who’ve sent me this junk, it still comes!

You know...I’m kinda in a justification/rant mode...I think I should do something, and then come back to the computer...maybe I’ll go shower...and have an egg roll...or 2. That might be a good plan. I have to eat an egg roll for Chibi-chan(amai_tenshi) since today’s her birthday. I’m sure with how the mail’s been so screwed up around here, she hasn’t gotten my package yet.

That’s another thing that’s driving me crazy: the mail. I ordered a Alice in Wonderland / Through the Looking Glass DVD off Ebay weeks ago, and it still has not come in. Seller says she shipped the thing off, and she’s as concerned as I am.

OK...I’m really going to step away from the PC before I get aggravated again.

Later.

Yo!!!!! I LIVE! *cough cough sputter, clears throat*. Um...Yeah.

So, the last few days have been...trying. To say the least. Not knowing whether you’ll have a home to return too is almost as bad as having that home and it not being fully functional. We are only now completely up and running (internet and all ^.^ ). So, I shall now post what has happened over the past following days. I’ve been writing a lot...that is your only warning. This entry is gonna have some serious tags...Enjoy!
