OCD+ADD=OMG

Yesterday at work, things were a little crazy. I had totally intended to post yesterday, but it was so busy. I did manage, on my lunch break, to finish the next chapter of Broken Wing, which I posted to my private journal and sent to my Twin. I’m still going to proof read it a few times, just to make sure it makes sense and I haven’t screwed anything up. Normally, though, I don’t realize my screw ups till after I’ve posted it to FF.net -..-

I also arranged a nice surprise for my mom. I found this lovely web site that sends out flowers, plants and candies and stuffs, and I sent Mom a surprise fall flower arrangement. Originally, I just found the site because it had different flower meanings and occasions and such, and I just thought the pictures of the flowers looked lovely. The part of the site I found first was called FlowerPedia, which, I thought would be awesome, because I’m always interested in the meaning of flowers and trees and plants in general, and I thought it’d be cool if there was a Wikipedia for Flowers. Well, it wasn’t that, but it was interesting none the less. Anyway! I noticed that they have various forms of bonsai plants, some of which are flowering. I mean, they have Azalea Bonsai and Gardenia Bonsai, which are plants I’ve never seen in the local nurseries, and they’re gorgeous! But, I know how Mom loves fall colors and she loves lilies and tulips, so I sent her the Autumn Sunset arrangement...which should get there sometime tomorrow. I am so excited about that. There’s no real occasion for it, but when I saw that arrangement, I knew Mom would love it...so I sent it. I’m told, sending things for no reason whatsoever is the best thing in the world :D

Last night, I finally got to Yaviel’s Fishing and Cooking. Surprisingly, her cooking skill is now higher than her fishing o..o First, I went to Org, just because it was closest, and leveled up her fishing. Then I realized that her current recipes were very very low. So, I took her to Silvermoon to hunt dragonhawks, which drop eggs. 70 Herb-baked eggs and 10 loaves of Spiced Bread later! And I was capable of learning the recipes I’d need to cook the 50 fish I’d caught -..- So, then I translocated to Undercity to get the recipes from the lady at the dock there, and before I knew it, I had 117 skillz in cooking. Fishing is still at level 75 though -..- But, I loged for the night then.

I had the worst night too. I slept really really well till about 12:45...then I woke up. I tried, for about a half hour, to go back to sleep…but it wasn’t working. I got up, ate some cereal and watched Daria hoping I’d start to feel sleepy again. Around 2:50 I got sleepy. So, I drug myself back upstairs and tried to sleep. But, my sleep was good and broken by then, so I tossed and turned all night, sleeping harder than I had before, but not really resting. My alarm clock woke me up at 6 this morning, and I was even more tired than I had been when I went to bed the night before =..= I’m surviving on peanuts, coffee and a ton of eggs this morning. Oh, and G shared a slice of apple with me too.

...tonight’s Tuesday, right? /sigh. I’ll probably get on WoW tonight again...no specific plans though now that Yavi’s cooking and fishing is leveled. I know she wants to get that stupid ‘defeat the legion’ quest over with and get the heck outta Ashenvale, but...meh. She also wants to talk to Cara about the reply she got from Fallena, but that’s all RP-wise. Wenny wants to get to level 30 just as badly. So I’m of 2 minds about that. We’ll see.

I guess I’ll talk later. God knows, I’ve been gabbing enough already. Later, Sunshines.

Yesterday, after hastily posting that last entry, I did managed to glance at my friends page. Unfortunately, it was almost time to go, and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to do a thorough reading as much as I would enjoy it. In what little time I had left, I did manage to copy and print out the last entries of wotcherscamp and rattgirl . I didn’t get the chance to read it till later that night, but it made me feel more connected...even though I’m not -_-  

I finally got my PS2 in yesterday afternoon. I was surprised at how very small and lightweight it is. So, I glanced at the instruction manual and thought I had a general idea of how to hook it up. I set it on the shelf that holds my VCR and proceeded to try and move the TV so that I could see the ports in the back...The shelf that my loving father put up for my TV, is scrawny and weak. It’s bowing in the center (where the TV is), and it moves with every little nudge I give the TV! Of course this has me frightened that it’ll fall or break the shelf in two if I try to fool with it. All that boils down to that I do have my PS2...but I’ve no real way of playing it as I can’t figure out how to install it without moving the TV. There were some of those Audio/Video ports in the front of the TV, but I tried to plug it into those and still, it didn’t work -_- I am defeated. I’ve decided to ask my Dad to make another shelf. One more sturdy that doesn’t look like it’s about to break. Of course, he’s two weeks from coming in, so I’ll just have to do without till he does come in. I might try hooking it up to the TV in the living room, if only to experiment and see if I actually know which cables to hook up to which ports O.o It’s been ages since I had a gaming system, and I’ve forgotten how to hook them up.

I also received the other package yesterday and though I did have a rather large sulk-fit at not being able to install the PS2 properly, I consoled myself with Pride and Prejudice, which was almost better than the first go-around. I find I’m more enamored with it now than I was when I first watched it, if that makes any sense at all. Some things just keep getting better as they go. I also skimmed through Races of Destiny, my new D&D supplement book. It’s very interesting and I find the only problem I have with it is that there just isn’t enough put into it ^_^ I also received The Mists of Avalon on DVD, which is actually a gamble that I took. I’ve never seen this movie, but I have wanted to for a very long time. I’ve yet to watch it, but I think I’ll try doing that tonight if I get the chance. Has anyone else seen this, and if so what were your opinions of the movie (and/or the book if you like)?

I didn’t get to sleep till around 1 last night and for two specific reason. One being that I had told Mom I would wash the permanent press, and had nearly forgotten it. I knew I couldn’t just wash it and get away with that so I waited till the washer was done, and then left the clothes in the dryer. Of course Mom didn’t really like that very much beings as she’s never satisfied with dried clothes unless they are immediately hung after they’ve finished drying =_= The second reason for my being up so late would be that I had printed out a list of Magic and the spells these different magics use, and then I had gone through it and edited it more to my liking (added and revising and such). As I had no internet coupled with plenty of time and a reason for staying up longer than I would (the clothes in the washer), I decided to go through the old document which was on this jump drive, and change the format to what I came up with on the edited paper. I am happy to report that the result looks much more organized and unified, even though there isn’t nearly enough on it. I was thinking of posting the table that I’d made in

That’s all for now. I’ll see if I can check in later in the day. Ja!

Wow. I mentioned in my private journal (ruby_unicorn) that I might go ahead and get a paid account for this journal. Since then, I’ve looked into getting plenty of icons and graphics to make icons when I do happen to get the paid account. Thus far, I’ve got 37 icons, and that’s not counting ones that I still want to make. Damn me and my OCD tendencies.

The main themes that I’ve been looking for are TV shows that I enjoy if I should choose to post about them (Gilmore Girls, Supernatural, the CSIs, Daria), and then I have a few random ones that I just want for fun, and of course the ones that are all ready mine. I definitely want to make a few more with my game characters (EQ, CoH, and eventually WoW)…I’m excited, can’t you tell?

Ok, what else to talk about. Oh, Reiko came to visit last night. She wanted to update her My Space. We also went out for some McDonalds McFlurries. That was...interesting. We always have fun though.

I think that’s all for now. I’m gonna be going to lunch soon. I need to post the next chapter of the EQ Saga too...I’ll do that when I come back na no da. That’s all she wrote...for now.

Well work was great, and now exclusively confined to my private journal except for the occasional mention that it was either good or bad.

I got Batman Begins in the mail the other day, but by the time I finished watching it was late, and I didn’t want to stay up too late. And after watching it for the second time, I have this to say.

Sorry. That was just too much drama this late, but I couldn’t help myself. Mom and I have already made a date to watch it Saturday afternoon. It’s just so much more real than any other Batman I’ve ever seen, and I love that about it. It’s not theatrics or over the top it’s just the original store and it holds up on it’s own.

Other than that, I have nothing to say...for now.

Goodnight.

How You Life Your Life

You have a good sense of self control and hate to show weakness. You tend to avoid confrontation and stay away from sticky situations. You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences. You tend to always dream of things within reach - and you usually get them.

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.

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

Ok, so I finally got to watch Gilmore Girls and Supernatural from yesterday. They were reruns, but overall the experience wasn’t too bad.

Gilmore Girls. Ok, this was a rerun, but it was one of the reruns I hadn’t seen. First let me start by saying...I love Paul Anka. Not the singer...Lorelai’s dog. It’s a very quirky dog, and thus it fits in well with Lorelai. Makes sense. Love how Richard saw that Lorelai was right all along about Rory, too.

Supernatural. Once again, a rerun. But such a special rerun! The episode was Asylum...the very first episode of Supernatural that I ever did see. It was the night that Threshold was failing. It had been moved to a different night and it was coming on at 9. I had to find something to watch, and so I decided to watch Supernatural. It was so cool! Crazy spirits at an asylum taking over at night and driving people mad! But wait...the spirits aren’t trying to hurt anyone? That doesn’t make any sense. Then it turns out that the crazy spirits are just poor tortured souls that deserve vindication. Vindication from their tormentors. Vindication from their doctors. It made so much sense. Even if I was slightly skeptical about the take on the realm of the supernatural, the show didn’t really do any harm to the genre. So, that was when I decided to watch. Next was the Bloody Mary episode and that only sealed the deal. I was hooked!

So all in all, a very pleasurable rerun experience. Now, I am off to church, which means I’ll be positing in ruby_unicorn soon. Later!

God, today was...interesting.

Woke up around 9. Ate, had coffee, Mom went to town with Aunt Batty. I got ready to go to that Staffing place and Reiko called. She said she wanted to borrow Red vs. Blue and I said I didn’t mind. She even brought me my calendar that I’d ordered, lo, those many months ago. She came over and when she saw what I was wearing she was all, “Why are you dressed up?” so I told her I was going around and passing out resumes and all that. She left and I got on the road.

Unfortunately, I got to the place around 11:30 a.m. and they stop taking applications at 11...of course they start taking them again at 1:30. That is one seriously long lunch break. So, I took an application plus all the paperwork, and headed to town. I went to Burger King and filled out the applications there. Then I went around to Wal-Mart and Office Depot. I was checking to see their prices on computer microphones. I’ve always wanted to buy one for myself so that I could do recordings too, like on Sloths Gone Mad. Well, Wal-Mart had a desk microphone for $9.98, but Office Depot had a lapel/monitor microphone for $7.99. I expected Wal-Mart to have a better price, but Office Depot had better.

After that I headed back to the staffing place and had my interview. The nice lady there said they would test my skills in office and then they would start seeing if a position came in. So, my appointment to ‘test my skills’ is on Tuesday the 17th at 2:00 p.m. Which is good, ‘cause that gives me plenty of time to wake up and have lunch. She said that the test usually takes like 2 hours or something so that means I’ll need to eat a nice big lunch and perhaps I should go comfortable. I dunno. I think I might like it better if I go comfortable, but if I go dressed up and in make up it’ll give me an idea of what professional life would be like. God, I hate wearing make up. I mean, guys don’t wear it. And if charm is deceitful and beauty is vain then why bother? But then, everyone judges everyone else by appearance. Except me of course. I don’t give a damn either way.

Ok, so I got home, and had a sandwich. But since I had been nervous about it all, I wasn’t that hungry for lunch and I kinda skipped it. That was a bad idea. I should’ve made myself eat. Because after everything was over, I was starved and got super hungry. Then, I got a sinus headache and took some meds for that. Consequently, I was really really really spaced out at church tonight.

I will be posting my church entry in ruby_unicorn, because there are some things that I don’t want the whole world seeing that I wanna say.

Anyway. We picked up Fred from Aunt Batty. They’re going out of town this weekend, so we’ll be dog-sitting for them. We really don’t mind, ‘cause Fred is really low maintenance. He’s really cute too. Here’s a picture of the little guy.

But anyway. I’m really tired from this crazy sinus medication. I’m gonna go shower and then it’ll probably be off to bed for me. Goodnight.

I honestly didn’t turn this computer on till like 4:30 this afternoon. I kinda thought that my dad might want to paint the computer corner today, but he kept having things that he had to do (his brother gave him a bucket-load of fresh fish to chop up). And so, I didn’t wanna log on just to have to log off and unplug everything. But around 4ish I kinda figured that we wouldn’t be getting around to it.

I returned the necklace the rents got me for Christmas. Originally, they wanted to return it and give me the money to spend however I wanted. But I told them it would be fine with me if they just kept the money and used it to pay bills and whatever, because I know we’re in debt as far as the credit card goes. I always feel like that’s partially my fault, but then I realize that the only burden I’m placing on them is my car insurance bill they have to pay for me while I’m currently unemployed. And that’s not very much. So, really it’s not totally my fault...but I still feel like I should be trying to help out. I think I’m gonna do some research on these new things where you can take quizes online and make money at it. As long as their’s no annual fee, I don’t see why I would have a problem with paying for membership. And it may be a good way to actually make some money while I’m in between jobs.

Anyway, I told Dad that we could start on computer corner tomorrow morning. He said that’s fine with him. So, I called my Sunday school teacher (aka my computer guy), and asked if I could drop my computer off at his place tomorrow for him to install that hard drive in there. His wife said that it was cool with her, that she’d be there. So, I probably wont be checking in for at least tomorrow. I don’t know what his schedule’s like, which means I don’t know when I could be getting the computer back. So I might not be checking in for a couple of days. So that’ll explain that. I’m gonna miss AMOS. /sniffle. But I’ll just take this time to proofread the crazy behemoth chapter that’s coming up in EQ Saga that I mentioned yester— uh…this morning. I’ve got it all printed out and now I’m just gonna be working on it with an ink pen. I may post the rough draft on ruby_unicorn...I dunno yet.

Oh! I don’t know if I put up here that I’ll be going to visit with Chibi Friday. Chibi and Reiko and I are all getting together at Chibi’s at 9 am on Friday morning to exchange gifts. It’s not our usual of going to the movies and then exchanging gifts, I know, but it’s this or nothing at all. Chibi has such a busy schedule this week, and so does Reiko. Reiko wasn’t too happy that we couldn’t meet before Thursday because she’s working 40 hours this week, and she’ll have to go to Chibi’s then scamper home, then go to work for 12 hours. But, that’s life I suppose. She hated it, but I told her it’s better to have only a little time with her than no time at all. You know what they say about beggers...they’ll only spend it on booze.`

I have just finished going through my Amazon.com wish list. For some odd reason I decided to go through all the crap that I had. Was I spring cleaning and wanting to decrease the stuff that I had in the wish list? No! Of course not! It’s a wish list! That means anything you might have a hankering for can go in it! That means there’s no real reason to delete something unless you no longer want it. And I want stuff! No, what I did was make a bunch of different wish lists and then sort all my crap into their designated lists. I now have a list for Box Sets, Books, Movies, Anime & Manga, Jewelrey, and Everythng Else. But I didn’t just dump the stuff hap-hazardly into their lists. Oh no! I dumped them into their lists, then I came back and went through each list, sorting things so that they were in the proper places (Star Wars books with Star Wars books, D&D books with D&D books and everything that I want to remind myself that I absolutely want at the very beginning of the list!). I’ve found that apart from an absolute love of gems, I pretty much like any type of oriental jewelry that’s shown at the Energy Muse jewelry store. And boy, do they ever have a lot. But after I went through all the jewelry I got rid of a bunch of stuff because some of it was just wa~ay too pricey. I kept all my books though...in fact I think I added a few more...heh. But I did delete a few of the movies that I had put up there. Overall, an honest effort..

So, my night has been long. My eyes are now rebelling against me and tearing up constantly. So I shall now go and take a shower…I sure hope that hot water heater does better tonight than it did last night. I think the hot water lasted all of 2 minutes. /shakes head it was not pretty. At least I got through shaving my legs in time. But still. I’m all for showering with cool water, but when the bathroom’s already cold and you’ve got cold water poring all over you, it is not something to smile about.

Ok, I’m really getting off line now. Goodnight.
