OCD+ADD=OMG

When I stopped for the night, I counted and had 5½ pages of the story! I was so excited! I mean, I know that 5½ notebook pages is only about 2 typed up pages in the computer but still! I’ve written virtually nothing in the past 3 months. So this was a much-needed break through. I think I’ve decided that at or around 9, this computer will be turned off, and I’m gonna get ready for bed and grab the notebook and see if it works 2 nights in a row. It doesn’t even have to be story, it could be a character profile or description of a place; as long as the writing comes through that’s what matters. If it does work, I’ll have a writing routine established.

Normally, I’d try to type up everything on Saturday, but this Saturday, me and a few of the other ladies from ISR have to head into New Orleans for a seminar XP. I hate New Orleans. I hate having to go there for any reason. But Mrs. Ellen’s pretty much decreed that we all need this seminar for some reason or another, so we might as well just bear it, ne?

That reminds me, I have and OBGYN appointment next week =_____= Joy /sarcasm. But it’s been about a year so I suppose it’s warranted.

Well, I’m gonna go check on the rents and finish getting ready. Later!

Beware, for I am: Full

Oh my gosh...I would like to officially say, that Lasagna might be the best food in the world. For some reason, I just enjoy eating it so much. Mom got me one because she and Dad left this morning (around 6 a.m. Ungodly hour /shudder) for a family reunion up in North LA with Uncle Harvey and Dad’s kin. I suppose the fact that I was starving by the time I got to it helped my opinion of it…but every time I’ve ever eaten Lasagna, it has always been profoundly good.

Ok...so work lately has been very all-encompassing. There’s so much copying and filing and...well, it’s a lot of brute work. I don’t really mind so much, but when I get home I’m really really tired. I don’t want to do much of anything. Which totally sucks, because that means I don’t get any work on my stories...I’ve only just got it printed out for proofreading. So tomorrow after work, I’ll be proofreading whether I’m in the mood for it or not.

In other news...there is no other news. So goodnight.

Beware, for I am: Allergic...

Ok, so today was fun. Mom woke me up around ten and we went to town. We didn’t find any clothes at the mall but I did get some of the Bath&Bodyworks Cherry Blossom perfume and shower gel (thanks for the head’s up on that chaineddove-san!). Then we went to Target and I got the other half of my Cherry Blossom artwork thingy (man, am I sensing a pattern here? Oh well. It’s not like I can help the fact that cherry blossoms rocketh). Then we went to Wal-Mart (of all places -.-) and found some nice kacky’s and a few around-the-house shirts. We also got some of those plastic storage bins. We’ve been talking forever about getting me some book shelves for those books that I have in Dad’s shed. But I only just realized that with all the new artwork in the room and how small the room is, there’s really no place for book shelves. So I decided to settle on getting a billion of those plastic bins, and putting them under my bed with all my books in them. It’ll be out of the way and I’ll have my books out of Dad’s shed ¬.¬

Then we got home and we piged out on Taco Bell / KFC. Oh! I got the soundtrack to .hack//sign in too! Such pretty music! And I got notice from Amazon that I’ll be getting the other package that I ordered as well soon. At least, it’s been shipped...that was like, late last night though...so whatever. After eating I watched Tenchi Muyo again just for the laughs. If you ever wanna laugh, that’s always a good anime to watch for it. The rest of the day was spent with me kicking myself for missing The Soup, and trying to write the next chapter of Different from Me. I’m making progress, but it’s at a “slow, deliberate thought...distraction...furious typing with massive ideas...distraction.” pace.

Mom and I finished the day with Trading Spaces. I so hate black&red oriental stuff. Just so you know. I really do. Also, I’ve sneezed more within the past two days than I have in the last six months. It’s weird. My allergies and sinuses have made an unholy alliance to torment me...and I must say…I’m not pleased.

Ok well. 6 is gonna come early...and I have a lot to do tomorrow (must clean under the bed so that I can put those bins in =.=). Goodnight.

PS: Wah! I just got Reiko’s graduation notice in the mail! She’s graduating on the 24th! Sugoi!

Beware, for I am: Apathetic

Other than the rain, there was very little that happened today. I surfed around the ‘net, and watched X-men: Evolution again. The latter of which inspired me to write a tinsy bit more in my Different from Me story...but nothing worth showing yet. Not enough words, not enough content, yada yada.

Tried to watch last night’s episode (or at least what I caught on tape) of Supernatural. So aggravated with the WB for that. They interrupted the show and were showing a rerun of that American Inventor show. Now, that show’s plenty funny, but still when I wanna watch Supernatural and something’s on in its place, it’s just aggravating. I did manage to get, like, the last 20 minutes of the show...which isn’t nearly enough! Especially since they were dealing with Vampires. The whole Vampire mystique and I missed the first 40 minutes of it? And I’d actually tuned in, so it wasn’t even my fault! /sighs I cannot wait till this comes to DVD box set, just so I can buy it and fill in all the things I’ve missed.

Well...I suppose that’s all. Chibi says she’s doing a little better, but then her attitude always seems to make things a bit easier. I gotta go shower, and then there’s the wedding to go to tomorrow.

I'm a Troll!



The vicious Jungle Trolls, who populate the numerous islands of the South Seas, are renowned for their cruelty and dark mysticism. Barbarous and superstitious, the wily Trolls carry a seething hatred for all other races. One tribe, however, was forced to overcome its prejudices when it encountered the Orc Warchief, Thrall, and his mighty Horde. The Trolls of the Darkspear tribe, long since exiled from their ancestral lands in Stranglethorn Vale, were nearly destroyed by a band of aquatic Murlocs, but Thrall and the Horde managed to save them. In return the grateful Trolls swore an oath of eternal allegiance to the Horde. Led by the cunning Shadow Hunter, Vol'jin, the Darkspear Trolls now make their home in Durotar along with their Orcish allies. Their village, named after their fallen tribal elder, Sen'jin, lies along the eastern coast of the harsh, rocky land. The Darkspear tribe also occupies tracks within the nearby jungles of the Echo Isles. As part of the Horde, the Trolls have extended their loyalty to the mighty Tauren, but they have little trust for the manipulative Forsaken, whom they believe will visit only misery and strife upon their allies.

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.

Your Inner Child Is Sad

You're a very sensitive soul. You haven't grown that thick skin that most adults have. Easily hurt, you tend to retreat to your comfort zone. You don't let many people in - unless you've trusted them for a long time.

Holy...Quadrupeds! After I finished up my last entry, I decided to go through the paper to see if there were any positions worth applying for. There were two, and I made up a cover letter, envelope, and resume for both of them. I then decided that since I had nothing to do, I might as well start putting the next chapter of the EQ Saga together. Yes, I spent almost all morning reformatting all the chapters that are now on FF.net. But what they hey! Might as well just kill myself by staring at this screen.

Well, needless to say, that didn’t go over very well. So, after I gave myself a colossal headache, I decided to vegg out and just watch TV for a while. I watched The Soup doing their countdown 2005, as all shows seem to be doing lately. That was fun. Agonized over Mom trying to book bus tickets for Bub, which was about as fun as chewing aluminum foil. I tried to point out that she was booking passes for a trip that leaves at 12:10 am, but she was like “Yeah, I know. That works perfectly.” So I was all backing off ‘cause I didn’t want to aggravate the woman. Finally, the thing goes through, and I point it out again and she’s like “Why didn’t you tell me! I thought it was pm!”

Dad finally got the new water heater, but then he needed new pipes. He got the new pipes, but he couldn’t find a thing of pvc pipe glue. So I went to town and got the glue at Lowe’s...only to come back and have him tell me he’d found a spare can he didn’t know he had. /slowly shakes head. It’s a wonder I’m not put on trial at any point for beating my family to death with an iron bat...So, I finally got to relax and eat. Then I watched Wife Swap which had temporarily transformed into Husband Swap with Mom and Dad. Then we watched America’s Funniest Home Videos together, and we all laughed our sorry white arses off.

Then, I jumped on this box, and I started typing away at the next chapter. I don’t know why, but something had changed and this time it just felt right. I finally had reached the end, or as close to the end that I could come without really ticking my own self off, when I remember wondering how long it was. I vaguely glimpsed down towards the bottom of the screen and saw 24/26. I then realized that the whole damn thing was 26 pages long. After doing a word count of just the story (not the end ramble) I came up with 9,934 words. Holy. Clucking. Quadrupeds. /sigh no wonder I’m tired. I mean, there are only like 9 characters in this story (main ones at least) and 7 brand-spanking-new ones that had never even been introduced! But I don’t’ think I’m ready to put it up yet. So I figure, I’ll take some time, edit the thing slowly and carefully, and then I’ll put it up new years day or something. It’ll be a great way to ring in the new year.

Ok, I need to not focus on that for right now though...I need to focus on something else...I’m slightly worried about my Twin-san (animequeen). She was supposed to be moving to her new apartment on Christmas day. Not so much for the moving thing; moving’s always gonna be a hassle that no one’ll ever get used to. I’m more concerned for her index box. Honestly, I’m always worried that I’m clogging the damn thing up. But, she’s yet to curse me out over it, so I’m just gonna assume that we’re good. Even if assuming tends to make an ass out of u and me.

Ok...I think I’ve ranted enough. I’m gonna go and get something to eat, and rewatch Dune till the meds kick in and I come off of this crazy high I’m on. Goodnight.

<td align="center">Kindness


Kindness is most important in a boyfriend/girlfriend. You want someone who will go through everything with you - the best moments and the worst, and all of those other moments in between. You love to be able to say anything to your partner, and have them say anything to you. You are able to be extremely close with your partner for that reason.
