OCD+ADD=OMG

Beware, for I am: Blah

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then I went and made this little colorbar.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Ok, so I went to check out my friends' posts and I saw that Odango (chaineddove) had a color bar that said 'chaineddove is love' on it with her icons made into a color bar. Well, I tried it, but I only have 3 icons (they really should let us have more than 3 even if we aren't paying them), so I decided to take icons that I've made for myself — some that I've used in the past and some that I haven't — and make my own colorbar. I have Corel Draw on the other computer, so I just nipped over there and did that. And here it is!

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

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…

…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!
