OCD+ADD=OMG

Beware, for I am: Sleepy

What a long day...It never seems that way while you’re going through it but at night once it all hits you it’s like, “Wow...”

Ok. So the things I did today...

Work. Might’ve gotten 2 boxes full of files all alphabetized. Though I had to pull a lot more to get room to fit other files into the filling cabinet...so it seems like nothing got done. Man, this week coming up is gonna be really hard...I’d better just stay in the filing room, hot and sweating though I’ll be. Oi vey.

Obsessions/Narnia. I actually entered the ‘Ultimate Narnia Fan’ contest, which I don’t really think will amount to much. Being a secluded, hoarder Nerd that I am, I tend to hoard my stuff and knowledge but never really get too out-going in my fandoms. A heated discussion is the most audacious I get. But I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try and all, so I went for it. Also, I just got wind of a 4-disc, special edition DVD The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe coming out...wtf? Why not just release that one right away too? That way we don’t have to worry about buying the other supposed ‘extended edition’? Now, the obsessive fangirl in me wants to buy this, but the rational business woman in me says to just wait till all the movies are out and they’ll make a huge extended box set edition with all of them in there. But that could take anywhere from 10 to 14 years depending on which movies they decide to make if all of them. If it’s just the five that people usually go with, then it’ll be 10 years because they seem to be keeping a 2-year waiting period between movies or some such (TLTW&TW was Christmas 05; PC is scheduled for around Christmas 07).

Ok...back away and take a pill =____= Moving on...

Chibi. I sent Chibi the gift that I got her at MechaCon 2.0! I bet she’ll love it, but that’s just because...I’ll kill her if she doesn’t ^_^! Yeah...where are those pills?

Family. Oh, and I finally got the chance to sit down and write to my cousin. I got her e-mail address when I was at MechaCon, or I should say Mom got it and God only knows if she got it right...But anyway. The e-mail was sent today. I don’t know if she wants me to say her name and all, so I’ll restrain myself till I have her say-so.

Other than that, life’s ok. I can’t wait to get to sleep. I had to wake up at 5 a.m. again today, and I don’t get sleepy till much later. It all just hit me about 20 minutes ago. But I made myself stay awake just so I could send out said e-mail and write down my day. I guess that’s all…insert random quiz here:

Your Passion is Gray

Your sexual attitude is best described as apathetic. Often joking that you're asexual, you can go months without getting any. For you, great sex does not make or break a relationship. If it happens, it's just the icing on the cake.

What Color Is Your Passion?

Hey! I like the color gray...it's all...peaceful and ...cool..and...and...and besides all that, I’m celibate! Because I don’t take sex or love lightly. Not because I'm 'apathetic' or 'asexual'….why am I defending myself against quiz results?..I confess I am a bit curious to see my friends’ results in this quiz...especially my Twin-san’s...ah well, I'm rambling. =___= Tiredness.

PS: Oh yeah. My box set of Threshold just got sent out to me tonight, although I've no idea where it is. No, scratch that. It's in the US somewhere. Stupid Amazon.com...>.<

Beware, for I am: Calm

Ok, so today was trying but ok. Only a few things to touch on.

This morning, Nicole showed around 7:30ish and let me in. She said she’d have a key made for me that way I wouldn’t be locked out like that again. So, I worked from 7:30 – 11 and then went home and came back at 2 and worked till 5. I don’t think I’ll be doing that Monday. This week we’ve had a relatively light load of charts to log (only 166 for the whole week), but Monday is always our busiest day. So, I’ll be pulling the early morning crap later in the week.

Oh yeah. After coming home and eating, I’d gotten really sleepy. It was probably a mixture of the rainy weather and the fact that I hadn’t eaten quickly enough. So, when I went back to work I was noticeably tired. I went down stairs to make copies, and the doctor was there. He was talking to the receptionist, and I didn’t really want to interrupt. He stopped and said, “Hi, Tracie. You didn’t even say ‘Hi.’ To me.”

So I told him. “Sorry. I’m on autopilot right now.”

And he said, “That can be dangerous.” And I replied,

“Only if the pilot’s smoking weed in the cabin.”

*beat*

“...Wow...”

It takes a lot to actually stump the good doctor, so I found it very amusing. I swear the words were out of my mouth before I even had time to think. “Only if the pilot’s smoking weed in the cabin.” ? WTF, mates?

Uh...oh yeah. In other news. I was delighted as a giddy-teenage-fan-girl when I realized that not only Threshold, but also Supernatural was coming to DVD box set soon. Please pardon my drooling. I would’ve preordered them already if it weren’t for the sufficient lack of funds. But pay day is next week, so no worries there. And Mom gave me the money I’d used to pay for her medicine while I was in town. With gas being so high and all, I figured there was no use in making two trips, so I just picked up the stuff for her. Didn’t know it’d be that expensive though. But still. All’s well. As soon as I can get the DVDs that is -.- Threshold’s released on the 22nd of this month, and Supernatural comes out September 5...for all my fellow freaks who may be interested. I literally cannot wait to buy both of them. Seriously. I mean, I’ve already had to ditch the taped episodes of Threshold because I wore them down. And what sold it for me on the Supernatural disc deal? They have a gag reel! Any DVD that has a gag reel is worth watching if only for the gag reel, people! (Watch the Pirates of the Caribbean one! It’s a hoot! “Is that a plane?”)

Ok...what else? Oh yeah. The web site is taking forever to upload those pics of MechaCon. Seriously. It’s just weird that it does that. I never noticed it before this though.../shrugs Oh well. It’ll happen when it happens na no da.

Also, tonight’s episode of The Soup was so uplifting. I mean, it made me all giggly and that made me think “Oh! I should post!” Because I never feel like posting when I’m depressed because I don’t think anyone will want to read it or they wont care, but when I feel good...I think no one but me will care, but at least I still do! So yeah. Oh, and I so agree the Lou should’ve won that contest. Wait was the dancing one with Fergie? Man that was really whacked. How can they call that girl talented. She’s just a hoochie really. Ah well. In this country they award anyone and say their talented. Geesh.

Oh, another thing. So, this morning’s Angel was the one where they throw Spike into the Angel mix, right? Well, I’ve never really watched Buffy, ok? I’ve heard tale of this Spike creature. I’ve seen friends go gaga talking about him, and I’ve looked at pictures of him online...I had to say, I didn’t think there was much to him. I mean, sure. Ok. He’s not a whimp, obviously. And he has good grooming habits what with what it must’ve taken to get his hair like that and all. But honestly, he wasn’t overly appealing to look at, right? …This morning, I heard him talk...and I realized what the obsession was about. It’s the accent. Face it, guys. An accent used the right way makes girls bibbidy. Usually and more specifically, British accents, Cajun accents, European accents, and occasionally Austrailian and Kiwi accents. I now understand what the attraction is, ladies. And all I can say is, give the boy more lines. I want to hear him talk. Thank you. That’s all.

If there was anything else, I’ve forgotten it. So, g’night everyone.

Ok, so stuff to post about today. Let’s see, I shall soon be off to church for our church party, which I’ve posted about in ruby_unicorn, so I won’t go into detail about it here. And I have decided to take my camera with me just in case I do feel like taking pics of people and showing you faces to put to names. But again, I think that’ll be going into ruby_unicorn.

And that’s all I have to say about that. Ok, so next. Loved the count down last night. If they had that thing on DVD, I’d so totally buy it. Why? I dunno...I guess to enjoy the cynicism of my fellow Americans on virtually every subject that has passed through the decades known as the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. I can’t wait till we get to 2010 just to see if they do an “I love the 2000!”.

Ok moving on. So, since Threshold is now nixed, I’ve been looking for some sort of suspense series that I might get into. I tuned into Supernatural last night right after Gilmore Girls, and I find myself loving it.

( Blo~ody Mary (spoilers) )

And today I actually found myself joking around with my brother. For all our differences, we do have a lot of similarities. Like having the same crazy parents and being able to joke about them.

After all that craziness, I came in here and promptly went mad with typing again. The stack on the floor has grown, and I swear it’s not because I’ve tampered with the genetic make up of paper so that it can multiply. I’m not that smart. I would have to hire some scientist to do it for me, and I don’t have the money to afford that...yet.

So, now my pie is done and I’m trying to get rid of this stupid headache before we leave. It would be so terrible to just start the evening out with the thing. But I’ve taken some sinus meds for it...which means I’ll probably be spending the evening feeling grogy and gross. Oh well. Pick your poison, no da.

I’m gonna go relax for a while and re-watch X-men: Evolution. Later.

Yo. Ok, so I’ve dropped off the face of the planet for the last two or so days. To be perfectly honest, it’s not as if a lot happened. I got sick Wednesday only to recover from whatever it was Thursday morning and go right into those wonderful menstrual symptoms. So, either I wasn’t feeling good, or I just wasn’t feeling like being talkative. Either way, no show.

So, Wednesday was a bummer. The only good thing to happen that night was CSI: NY, and I honestly didn’t watch it when it came on ‘cause it was taping. I told Mom she’d be going to church by herself because I wasn’t feeling well. She had a migraine and I tried to talk her into staying home, but no she had to go. Well, if she wants to go somewhere and torture herself for an hour not getting anything out of whatever it is the preacher’s saying, that’s none of my concern. So, she told me to make sure and dry the towels and fold them. While I had the towels drying I decided to make some tea, and while that was brewing, I checked my temperature. I felt terrible, my head was aching, I was sore and stiff all over, getting cold chills, and I was getting light-headed so I figured checking temperature would be a good thing. I kept reading 100.9. So, I finished making the tea and folded the towels and waited for her to come home. She was miserable, had a terrible migraine and felt terrible so she decided to leave. I told her I was running a fever...I think she got a little worried...but she was so miserable herself; all we really did was just go to bed.

The next day, I was feeling better but she wasn’t. Ever since she had the Hepatitis her immune system has been nonexistent. In fact, she’s still feeling terrible. But anyway, where was I? Oh yes, Thursday. Got up, got dressed, guzzied up, went out and handed out more job resumes. This time at the Urgent Care place (heard they were needing a clerical person) and State Farm. State Farm is always hiring. I then came home and Mom and I watched CSI: NY. It was great. Then we got ready for Survivor, CSI and Without a Trace. We watched the first two enthralled, and went to bed early. This week has been an absolutely rockin’ week for CSI. Not just the original but the other two as well have just been absolutely captivating. Survivor was ok too, I guess. I so wanted them to vote Jamie off, but he had to go and win the immunity necklace. I’m just glad Gary didn’t bite the dust. That was very smart of him figuring out that Judd had been lying to them when he told them the individual immunity statue was hidden on the ground somewhere. The thing was in a tree, and Judd had the clue that said the thing wasn’t on the ground or buried, and he told everyone it was on the ground. Then Garry notices Judd looking up for the idol...and put 2 and 2 together. Way to go, Gary! Score 1 for the sleazy quarterback who’s fooling everyone that he isn’t a quarterback...I never really paid much attention to Garry, or Dani, or Brandon, but once they merged and the bigger tribe was like “It’s 6 against 4! What!” I just started to root for them. Now that I think about it, I really do like Dani. She was awfully nice to the other tribe on her birthday, inviting them over for a pool party and chocolate and all. But anyway.

Also, Thursday I got a call from Mr. D from Hancocks. Turns out I had 2 checks over there that I didn’t know about. So, I hauled my little tuckas over there to pick them up. One for $123 and another for $96. I was pretty happy about that. You see, before he called me, I had been looking around on eBay. Not really for anything in particular, but you know, just looking around. So, I came across a cheap box set of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars on DVD. So I was so wanting to buy it, but I wasn’t sure if I should. But I did anyway. Then, he calls and is like “You’ve got money over here you haven’t collected!” and I’m all like, “Be right over.” So that’s great.

Today has been...not much of anything. I tried to go to the bank, forgetting completely that it’s Veterans Day...none of them were open of course. The only thing I have to look forward to is Threshold tonight. And that might, probably, maybe, could be canceled...but we’re not sure. Last week they said they’d have a new episode, but everyone on threshold_cbs has been arguing about it...something about Threshold switching it’s slot to Tuesdays, but no one knowing if that’s this week or not.../sigh. Oh well. We’ll see.

Mom’s calling me to go watch Super Nanny with her. It never amazes me how stupid people are when it comes to their own offspring. Irresponsible, tree-hugging, hippie crap. Oh well. I shall post later if Threshold is good or no. Later.

Yo. Yesterday was...nothing special, really. I was just entirely too tired to write by the time I had gotten home. I found out yesterday that I work every day this coming week up till Thursday (Save for Sunday of course). So, that doctor’s appointment I made is gonna have to be bumped back.

Here’s the deal...I used to see Dr. Kelly who works in New Orleans. Well, not only is his office unreachable, but he also retired. So, I’m completely and totally out of birth control...and that bothers me. So I called the last yutz who was my gyno, and they won’t give me anything till I go through the torturous session they call a ‘check-up’. Then they’ll prescribe something. So, I called them and scheduled an appointment for Tuesday at 11, but I wasn’t able to talk to Mr. D in time before the schedules came out. So, now I have to call the doctor’s office back and reschedule. What a pain.

In other, more positive news, I finally purchased Slayers Next and Slayers Try. The lowest (and best) New&Used price from Amazon.com was like, $18 and some change, and I couldn’t really pass that up...especially since they only had 13 left of Try. God, I can’t wait till I get it...though I can’t imagine it’ll be any time soon. Though, I did order both things from the same person, so there’s hope in that area. Although that does remind me...I still haven’t gotten the other DVD I ordered off of Ebay...The Alice in Wonderland/Looking Glass thing hasn’t come in at all. I’m wondering if I should be worried or not.

Oh, I sent an e-mail to the WB the other day. I was inquiring about Invasion America and how long it might be (when of if) they would put it on DVD.

( the response )

Anyway...Dad gave me these things that he printed out from the rig...things he wants me to ‘look up’ on the internet. He has a friend on the rig who needs to buy these things, but they can’t ship them to Mexico (where the man lives), so my Dad tries to buy them and then brings them on the rig. It’s all stuff for his wife, who wants to go into business as a manicurist. Unfortunately, the only place I could find them is Ebay, and even then the selection is miniscule at best. I’ll just have to keep at it I suppose./shrug.

Oh, loved last night’s episode of Threshold. I like ‘the three stooges’ of the show more than I actually like the show. I find myself eager to see and hear their reactions to things as opposed to the things that are happening. Although, the alien mutated cat was a new, cool element. I certainly hope CBS keeps this show. It was be really terrible to start enjoying it only for it to be thrown out. Oh well.

I guess that’s all for now. I’m gonna go eat something and then watch more of Sailor Moon Super. Later.

Yo. Today was nice. I did mostly nothing, really. Other than break in those new orthodics(sp?). And that took about, oh, 20 minutes before it really started hurting. But then, if it is like exercise, I suppose I’ll just have to go with the whole ‘start slow’ method.

I also spent a small amount of time looking up Video cards...mostly because old Irene here (this computer that is) doesn’t have a good enough video card to play Black&White 2. I was shocked at how much it actually cost for that type of stuff! And since all I know is that the one I get has to be compatible with I’m assuming that I’ll either need to buy one, or make sure that the new PC I get has one. The trouble is, I’m not sure exactly how to find out if the new PC will have one considering it doesn’t actually mention it in the specs on the web page I looked at. Either way, it’ll be forever till I actually get the new PC...but do I really wanna spend that much money on something like that, when I could just be patient and get it with the package. That is the question.

I didn’t get a chance to go to the movies with Mom today. Grandmere kidnapped her early this morning (like 6 am and stuff), and they went all the way to Lake Charles. Grandmere has friends down there, and Mom wanted to see how things were since the hurricanes. I let Mom take my camera, so we’ll have to see how those pics come out. We did promise to go see either War of the Worlds or In Her Shoes tomorrow. That’s still kinda up in the air. Mom doesn’t like paying any more than the the early price of $5.50, so if we can’t go to the Palace to see In her Shoes before 6, we’ll be going to see War of the Worlds at the local dollar theater. I saw that the dollar theater has Charlie and the Chocolate Factory playing now. That brings back memories of Chibi-chan(amai_tenshi) since that was the last movie we went to see together at the theater.

When we got back home I watched Threshold. It was good. It made me want to make icons. So, I spent my time making icons, and now I am extremely sleepy. My meds are so kicking in. I’d better bed down before I resist too long and they wear off -.- Goodnight.

I hate hurricanes. They cause so much fear and doubt and confusion. They take something I love completely—weather, rain, thunder, lightning—and pervert it into something that makes people terrified and stupid. The rain sounds on and on all day...it goes from the constant steady pour to a furious dash that makes the house pop and creak. Thunder echoes in the distance, but not accompanying the rain...it comes in the silences, making it sound more eerie. This has to be one of the slowest moving hurricanes I’ve ever experienced. We started feeling slight changes yesterday evening, and they’re predicting it will continue tomorrow.

Today has been one of those days where we were confined to the house, basically. And my throat’s been bothering me to no end. We had bought a pack of Riccola’s just the other day, and I only have a few left. I’m reduced to sucking peppermints and drinking tons of coffee and apple cider. Even when I do take stuff to help the cough, it doesn’t necessarily stop the cough. And it hurts so much to cough.

The only highlight of this day was early this morning. We peeked out our house when the winds had died a bit, to see a small collection of about 5 ducks enjoying the water. It was a small treat to see them playing around and looking for food.

Meanwhile, indoors, I tried keeping myself busy by organizing a few things. I’ve made a list of all the music and books I own (that I know of at this time). I think tomorrow I’ll try going through all my movies and see what I have.( Stuff )

I was absolutely livid when I turned on the TV to watch Ghost Whisperer and Threshold and find that the news had taken over. Honestly! We have the same things reporting on almost every channel, and you feel the need to remind me of all this more by making the shows that distract me unavailable! Unthinking, uncaring, baffed morons! I hate it when there’s a situation I can’t escape and all the media wants to do is remind me of it. Then they take away my options and decide that I won’t be able to turn on my TV without hearing it all!

I suppose that’s about that...I’m tired and I feel terrible. Goodnight everyone.

Yo. So, tonight the highlight of the evening was watching Threshold. That’s somewhat pathetic...and I don’t even care anymore. I’ve come to know one thing. Know your oddities and love them. If you don’t, you’ll be an extremely unhappy person...which is not a wonderful thing to be.

So. Threshold. Well. It was thought-provoking, and curious, and entertaining, and interesting. So, I have perhaps found something else to watch during the week. I have always had at least one show for a certain day. CSI: Miami on Mondays, Ghost Hunters on Wednesdays, Survivor and CSI (occasionally Without a Trace) on Thursdays, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on Sundays. But that has left Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays with, basically, nothing to look forward to.

The weather outside has changed phenomenally from this morning. This morning was warm and sunny as usual. But a slight shower came in, and now this. The thunder is miles away, and yet it still shakes the house. Such a wonderful symphony to fall asleep to. My mother and I both love the rain, thunder, and lightning. I can’t speak for Mom, but it brings such a peace to me...almost as if nature is singing me to sleep. I remember when I was a child and it would rain all day long...I just enjoyed the sounds of it so much.

Oh well. I suppose that’s all for tonight. I’ve been getting a bit concerned for my Twin-san (animequeen). She hasn’t been on AIM for a while, and I’ve received no e-mails from her directly...although that isn’t too contradictory to her character. She doesn’t write a lot of e-mails...or keep up with my journal much...but then, she doesn’t keep her own up. I just hope nothing has happened. I miss her and the old days. I’ll go read one of our old RPGs till I fall asleep. Goodnight.
