OCD+ADD=OMG

When Dad got back, he hung a swing in one of our trees. I had told him that I would love one of those one-person-rope-on-each-end-of-a-single-board swings....you know, the kind you swing on when you’re a kid and you can just go on and on for hours because you can swing yourself without ever touching the ground? Yeah, one of those :) Aaaand he finally got around to doing that. It’s pretty sweet if you ask me. It’s hung in one of the oaks near the garage/basement entrance, and it’s just a nice view in front.... I told Dad that we need to put another swing on the other side of the tree, and then rig a bench around the base, that way if two people want to swing they can...or if one person does and the other prefers to sit that’s cool too. Yay for reliving childhood :D

Mom and I watched some of American Idol....but we didn’t really watch too much TV. We did walk down to the back of our property. There’s a cedar tree there that took a whole lot of damage from the ice storm. Dad says he’s going to use the fallen limbs as kindling because evidently cedar makes for great kindling. We also surveyed another section of our land, this one the place I hope my trailer will soon be. There is much preparation that will need to be done for that. Luckily, the people who sell the trailer also help with arranging the area for the trailer to be on, and they take their labor for preparing the area out of the trailer fee....which is pretty awesome.

Oh! My commissions finally came in yesterday too! Our mail passes really late in the afternoon here (like 3ish), so when we were walking the mail went by. I went to go and get it and lo and behold, there was my commission from Kth. I contacted her...in 2007, after I’d attended the Gathering of the Gargoyles in Tennessee. Her artwork really just captured me, and it was awesome how she just seemed to understand animal anatomy so well. It made me think that if would be great to work with her on animal sketches since she’d really be able to help decipher what was all fantasy and what could actually work. So, I asked her to draw my 4 Ancients for me...and, over the period of 2 years I finally got them. We both ended up going through circumstances that lead us away from the project, but now it’s finally finished! When I got them, I immediately put them in protective sleeves, because I don’t have frames to put them in yet, and, well, a house to hank them in =..= So, they’ll have to go in with the artwork that Scamp drew for me for now....until I can get them framed properly. Anyway, the pictures are all at her deviantArt page. There’s Kaze The Wind Lord, Kaiyou The Ocean Lord, Tenkaichi The Earth Lord, and Shakaku The Flame Lord.....and they look so awesome XD It’s just so nice to actually see them...outside of my head. These were the first four characters that I ever thought up, and they’ve been with me since I was about 10. I still don’t have anything to represent their human forms, but I knew their animal forms would be more dynamic, so I was very eager to find someone who would help me with that. So much love for Kth for this. I hope if I can find a job and get back up on my feet again, to contact her again :) I also got Sea Horse from her...because it’s just so awesome :) Shoo-Bee-Do my @$$ :3

Oh, I got my tax refund in too, which is awesome. Sure, it’ll mostly go into a savings account, but hey. Having money is always a good thing. I just hope I can get a job and keep that money untouched until it’s otherwise needed. Tomorrow, Mom and I are going to head in to town and I’m going to apply at the local college, along with a few doctor’s offices and I’m also going to a staffing place. I’m optimistic that if the other places aren’t haring, at least the staffing place will help...though, the realist in me knows no matter how many resumes you hand out or interviews you go on, your fate is entirely in other peoples’ hands.

Anyway....after supper yesterday (which was early strangely enough), I made some oatmeal raisin cookies (my favourites) and they were the enormous ones....they were awesome. I made sure to pack some away for Dad’s trip, because they’re some of his favourites too. He and Mom wanted to watch Wheel of Fortune....and I took that as my queue to get on World of Warcraft :) Yaviel is finally level 40, and she’s wearing a rockin’ red outfit....actually, I’m just grateful that she’s out of the short-shorts -..- Those were a tad embarrassing. Got to talk with Scamp while she was on too. That was fun. I was slightly distracted by my Dad’s GPS dilemma. I asked him if he’d taken his GPS out of his truck (which he’d put in the shop) and put it in my car (which he was taking for his trip out). I got a “O..O” face as a response, so I had to give him a bit of instruction on how to use my GPS so that he could actually get there. Thank God for GPSes though...I’d be so lost without them :3 punny.

I guess...that’s really all there is to talk about. We did go to Branson with the Pastor and his wife Saturday, and I have pictures from there that I really need to upload to FaceBook and MySpace (there was sushi; we went to Wasabi for supper...I still prefer The Sushi Place, but when you’re with people who don’t eat sushi, it’s considerate to go to a place that has more than just sushi). Other than that there’s really nothing else to talk about. So...Guess I’ll write later, Sunshines.

Beware, for I am: Contemplative

Ok, so today was work and Y and a couple of things in between. Work’s was fun once Lacey got there. She informed me that she finally saw The Return of the King and she loved it and she was going to have to buy it so that she could watch it whenever she wanted to. She also said that the night before, when she was reading to her son he asked her, “Mom, why didn’t you name me Frodo?” all wistful. We both laughed so hard at that. She says he’s become a bit obsessed about Frodo and loves him to death.

Also, I think I may’ve created a monster. But I don’t remember if I talked about it or not already, so I’m gonna just go ahead and (re)explain everything. About a week ago Lacey and Linda got an e-mail from the boss-lady saying that they needed to make folders in their Outlook Express thingies to hold things that they thought were important, that way it wouldn’t clogg up their Index boxes. Well both of them confessed that they didn’t know how. So, that was one of the days that Linda had to leave early (either a Monday or a Thursday), so I said ‘ just leave your computer on, and I’ll fix it for you.’ Well, while they were walking out Lacey said “Oh, and put a nice Vin Diesel background or maybe an Orlando Bloom screen saver on there.” And Linda said, “Yeah, give me a nice picture too!” and they left. Well, as soon as I’d fixed the folder issue, I went and searched ‘Orlando Bloom’, ‘Vin Diesel’ and ‘Matthew Mcconaughey’ respectively and put a bunch of there nice pictures up in Lacey’s My Pictures file. Then I switched her desktop to a Vin Diesel background and set her screen saver to the ‘My Picture Slideshow’. Then I wrote “Merry Christmas” on a piece of paper and left it on her desk. The next day, I’m filing in the filing room when I hear loud giggling. Lacey pokes her head in and says “Thanks, Darlin’! That was the best early Christmas gift ever!” Of course, once Nicole was gone Lacey asked me to do the same thing for her only with Tim McGraw. So I showed her how to do it and now...she’s got so many pictures up there on her thing. I’m thinking, one day our bosses are gonna walk in and see pictures like that up there and wonder...what have they been doing? But for now, it’s a lot of fun to tease her about the need to breath and not ogle her monitor.

Also, when I got back to work after lunch, Lacey asked if I wrote a book. I said that I was trying to write one. She asked what type it was and I told her. She asked if she could read what I had written so far, and I said ‘Sure but there’s just the Prologue.’ And then it got into a whole discussion about maybe making the book into a movie (one of my biggest and most fantastical dreams) and her being the star, and of course Orlando Bloom would have to be her love interest since that’s going to be her baby’s daddy.…that girl has such a rich fantasy life. But, I printed out the Prologue and I will be bringing it for her to read over tomorrow. It probably sucks, but it’s all I have so far. I have plenty of ideas in my head, I’m just not quite sure where I want to go with them...and I’m not so certain that Orlando Bloom would fit very well with my vision of Topez. Although I simply must have Vin Diesel as the voice of a dragon or something. That would be wicked cool...

Dad and I went swimming at the Y after we ate supper. We didn’t’ swim for long because my ear was hurting and Dad did have to get to bed soon since he’s going to work tonight. And we had to stop by the grocery store to get Mom some things, but we ended up forgetting to get me some cough drops -.- Figures. Well, he kept complaining about the price and how late it was and on and on and on. So anyway. I’m exhausted. I think it’s from all the time we spent in the Y’s hot tub. They say you can only spend 10 minutes at a time in it, but the so called life guards never actually enforce that. But anyway, we got all the stuff Mom needs to make herself a nice soup, and since she's feeling so bad, it's the only thing that doesn't tear her stomach up. She does have an appointment at the hospital tomorrow to see a neurologist or something like that. I hope she gets some relief.

Oh well. I really want to write back to Gill, but I’m barely making it through this entry. And 5:30 always comes early =.=’ Tomorrow is Friday, and thank God for small favors. Goodnight, mina.

Beware, for I am: Productive

Ok, so what did I do after this morning’s initial flury of activity? Nothing. That’s right. Nothing. I feel into a stupor and did little more than watch more Lord of the Rings appendices, read fan fiction, and write a little. But I did get something out of the writing at least...

Well, I was gonna post this to all_tales, because I’d love some feedback and comments on it, but I’m not sure if I’m allowed to...So I’ll just post it here! This is really kind of an original with original characters, locations, and environments...This story just sort of popped into my head, and I see it as kind of a short story that leads up to the big one that’s been brewing in my head. The character is just so lovable (to me at least) that I can’t forget about her, so I wanna at least have this first chapter up to remind myself about it.

Ok. Here it is.

( The Adventures of Riff Raff )

So, whaddaya think? Sure, it’s a rough-draft and a work in progress but at least it sort of introduces you to a person in my world. I’m getting so sick of not writing about it, and yet I don’t have anything more to write concerning the main story.

So that’s all I really did today. Write that little diddy and add a bit to the next chapter in the EQ Saga. I’m now very hot and it’s late. So I’m gonna go shower and then it’s off to bed (I hope).
