OCD+ADD=OMG

After we ate, we headed over to Books-A-Million.....which is like shoving drugs right into an addict’s face. I did buy a book, but I didn’t go overboard. Oh, and I didn’t buy any of he Twilight series....that’s something to be proud of. We swung by Dairy Queen, because Scamp wanted a moolate. Then, we went to the mall...looked about a bit, but really we just found a bench and plackayed ourselves down. I think we spent upwards of 4 hours sitting on that bench and talking. Sure, we could’ve gone to a movie, but movies really are something you do with people you know super well that you have tons of time to waste. Talking was great because we just got to be relaxed and hang out.

Around 4:50 we headed back to the car....and went back to Zen :D We each just had Tempura rolls for ourselves and once again....legendary. Then....the long ride back. The bad thing about sushi is that it satisfies me so much that I’m really ready for a nap afterwards. I definitely got the same feel from Scamp and Bear....mostly since Bear fell asleep in the back seat and Scamp was dozing and forgetting every five seconds of the conversation. What was funny was when Bear woke up and asked, “....are we in Abbeville?” Scamp and I laughed at that. He missed most of the journey and he was trying his hardest to stay awake.

Oddly enough, I was awake and alert the whole way back. Of course, once I got back, I was exhausted. Mom didn’t get in till 10:40ish, so I didn’t get to sleep till after 11. We’re currently staying at Grandmere’s, and I’ve claimed the couch as my bed. It’s very comfortable really, and I slept so hard. Then again, I’ve had the busiest last four or five days. Friday was rehearsal, Saturday was the wedding, Sunday was recovery and movies with Chibi and then yesterday.....I’m not a good traveller either. I just wish we could still have that hotel room...From Grandmere’s house, well, we intend to stay till Wednesday night. Then we’ll go over to my Aunt Carolyn’s for a while (3 or so days I guess) and then we’ll end up back at Aunt Batty’s. I can’t wait to get home -..-

I know that at some point Mom wants to go to Hobby Lobby with me. She also said she wants to take me to Zen again...but I think I should put that off till we’re almost ready to leave =..= Then again, I may ask if she just wants to go to IHop, because I know Zen isn’t her favourite place. But really, I don’t know what our plans our ...or if we even really have any. Today, I’d like to relax a bit...recover some from the insanity that has been these last few days. We have till the 7th though, till we have to think about leaving. So...hopefully that’s plenty of time.

I went out and got Scamp Saturday. The drive was fun, but my house was being whittled down little by little in the 4 hours it took. My parents had moved everything from upstairs into the shed and many of the things I just didn’t need as well. My mattress was on the floor downstairs. During the down-time we had when my parents were busy with...something else…Scamp and I exchanged birthday gifts! She loved her gifts and I was sooo happy! I got her the Hoard key chain and made it into a necklace, and I got her a Figure Print of Fallena! It was so awesome! And she loved it and stared at it in awe for a long long time. Scamp was...uh, a little disappointed when one of my gifts didn’t really work out. She and Bear had gotten me a beautiful necklace of an owl flying with a moonstone in it’s claws, but she’d also gotten me this tank that has fake jellyfish in it...but, the pump for the tank didn’t work so the jellyfish just sank to the bottom of the tank -..- so yeah, she was disappointed. I loved the necklace though! I told her, “I shall call him ‘Jareth’ and he shall be mine :-D!”. That night was miserable, because my dad’s snoring is unholy...and since we were all sleeping in the same room, that really came into play that night.

Sunday, after church, we all went to Subway. Tried that new Chicken Pizziola or whatever it’s called...it wasn’t bad. Just…not something I’d go out of my way for. When we got home, Mom and Dad had packed up to leave for New Orleans, but the battery on Dad’s truck died. So he had to go to town and get a new one. But once that was done, Scamp and I were pretty much on our own. The geek fest began and much talking and giddy babbling commenced.

Monday was a little harsh...work was just so intense after the more busy than usual weekend. Also, at this point, everyone’s panicked because they realize it’s my last week. Monday and Tuesday went by pretty much the same. I was so very very tired, and went home to talk more with Scamp and vaguely pay attention to Bones. We packed as much as we could, but even when we were doing that, we were talking so much it was like we weren’t working. My parents actually got back from N.O. that afternoon, but they were staying with my Aunt Carolyn for the night. And, yesterday, I canceled my DSL for the 20th, and then later that day, Scamp tells me that they unhooked the computer and packed the wires in a box =..= so yeah...work’s the only way to post aside from Voice Post...which may happen tomorrow ^..^ Scamp managed to crank out some seriously awesome WoW fan fiction too. I dunno if it's cause we just talk about our character so much or because here she can relax a bit more or what, but it was awesome! And just in time too, because my parents showed up to pack everything just after she finished =..=

Oh! And I found something I desperately wanted. I’ve been wanting a mac for so long, but I can’t afford it. Aaaand, I’d been wanting to get a lap top too, because…well, sometimes I shut my computer off and late at night I get ideas to write...and I’d just like to have a laptop. Especially since my Dad was saying there are two colleges in the town and I might go back to college again o..o But anyway! I looked on Amazon.com to see if there were any good laptops that weren’t too highly priced. Well, I found a pretty awesome MacPro...and it’s about $700 (yes, it’s considered used, but it’s ‘Like New’ so I’m sorta ok with that!), which for a Mac is really awesome! So, I was thinking of saving up my next two checks as much as possible (which is what I’d be doing anyway) and spending my money on that...Merry Christmas to Me, you know? It’d be nice...

Oh, and last night, after class, everyone had a little party for me with this awesome cake and everything! It was funny because they gave me the cutting knife, and I sorta twirled the handle a bit so that the point was facing downward and just stabbed in the center of the cake, and everyone who was watching went, “Whoa!” After we ate and went over to join the others that were sitting about, C.J. asked me “So, did you get any more s words?” and I was like, “S words? Like…Salamander? Or...Sincere?” and he was like, “No! Swords!” and I was like. “oh....” only a minute later did I get S Words put together equals Swords...kinda like Flo Rida, put together is Florida. Yeah -..- I was tired. But yeah. I told him that I’d found the Halo Sword on Amazon...and that I had a whole Wish List dedicated to various swords and weapons...he was thrilled, but I’m not quite sure why O..o Funny how it amazes me to meet someone just as geeky as I am...in a place where I thought I knew how everyone already was before.

So...today Reiko comes over. The girls said that they’re treating me to Zen’s (well, they said it was my choice so booya :-D.). There are still things to worry about...but I kinda don’t want to anymore. I’m so tired and I can’t. So I’m just going to give the girls at work their Christmas/Going Away presents and have fun and enjoy my last few days here. I even brought my camera today to mark the occasion. I don’t have enough pictures of the girls as far as I’m concerned. So that’s all I’m worried about today. I do still need a change of address form, and to talk to my Edward Jones guy, but I’m thinking that’s something I might be able to squeeze in today and tomorrow. I’ll just have to check. But I refuse to worry about it.

I guess I’m off again. I was taking a little brain break because in the little time I’ve had sitting down I manage to get 7 pages of stats done =..= I can’t wait till 5. So, I’m off again, Sunshines.

In other (extraordinarily frustrating) news, my radio for my car? It’s not working right. It’s never been great for catching radio signals really, but it played CDs just fine, and that was what I needed, so I just let that go. But now, it keeps spitting CDs out at me...I keep trying to put them back in, but it just spits it back out again. It’s so annoying! I only just bought that thing in August! And I, of course, have no money to get it fixed...so, I’m in a bit of a bind at this point. Tomorrow, I’m gonna be calling Sam’s Audio (who did the installation) and asking them, very politely, what the hell.

On the brighter side of things, Friday was a real treat. Some of the girls from work and I went to Zen and had hibachi. It was fantastic. I finally caught the egg in my mouth too! Uh...for those who don’t know, the hibachi chief cooks egg and then takes turns throwing it to people at the table for them to catch in their mouths. It was the first time I’ve actually been able to catch the egg! It was awesome. And he was so much fun, and really preformed for us. The rice was awesome...but I’m a sucker for hibachi rice. Mom got Shrimp and I think everyone else got filet mignon.

After we were all finished eating (and a few pictures had been taken) G and I went and watched the 8:00 showing of Madagascar 2. It was so fun. G said it wasn’t as good as the first, but I really disagree. I think it wasn’t better but it was just as good. But you’ll get no secrets from me (because I’m sure you’re just scrolling through this post for Madagascar 2 spoilers u..u). G was starting to feel bad...and truthfully, so was I (but that’s expected this time of the month), so our plans to go to New Orleans to the little Asian markets were totally blown. Which...is a good thing because I work up Saturday feeling like petrified crap on a stick (on a steek!). Mom and I haven’t done much outside the house, and we really have done only a little packing. I’ve done a lot of organizing because I have so many papers and stuffs upstairs =..=

Meh...the Twilight Soundtrack is out...and I has no money =..= I was going to order that with Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion, but there really is no chance of that now. Thank God I get paid Friday, because I’m running low on funds as is. I had wanted to buy Breaking Dawn on audio book too, to listen to on the way up (because the book took me about 4 hours to read, so I figure hearing someone else read it out loud would occupy a lot of time while I’m on the road), but it’s kinda counter productive to have CDs to listen to first if the car CD player DOESN’T WORK! I’m just gonna have to fix that...soon. Still, it doesn’t bother me so much about not getting the Twilight Illustrated Movie Companion, because if I had my druthers, I’d rather have The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, considering it’s hardback and it’s the guide to the whole she-bang, AND it’s by Stephanie Meyer herself. So yeah...of course, that doesn’t come out till December 30 =..= Nya.

I’m gonna go head and go now, before my complaining turns my already sour mood into a terrible one. Quiz Spam to follow. Later, Sunshines.

What Your Bathroom Habits Say About You

You are a giving soul. Way too giving, in fact. You often get stuck doing the dirty work that no one else will do. You spend a lot on clothes, and you tend to be a very stylish dresser. However, it's hard for you to throw away trendy clothes when they go out of style. You are a very outgoing person. You are true to yourself, and you never hold back. In relationships, you are practical and realistic. You have a romantic side, but you only let it out when it's appropriate.

What Do Your Bathroom Habits Say About You?

I think...It was actually closer to 1 in the morning when I finally got to sleep. We didn’t get up till...it was around 8:55 this morning. We ate some cereal and watched The Soup, because we’d missed it Friday night. It comes on at 9pm on Friday and 9am on Saturday. Funny fact there. Anywayz! We thought about going to a movie – I wanted to see Eagle Eye, and she wanted to see Quarantine (blegh). So, we compromised, and went to see Eagle Eye at 10:30, and then Quarantine at 1:25. Can I just say that Eagle Eye was awesome? I know, I’m biased because I wubs Shia LaBeouf. And yes, there were a few bad words yelled out in anger here and there, but it wasn’t too bad. And for all the goodness that was Eagle Eye....Quarantine was twice as bad. Once again, I’m probably biased, I does not like zombie movies, and this was. A different basis for it, but still a zombie movie. These zombies were super fast and strong and impervious to harm (unless their brains were bashed in) and had the terrible habit of jumping out at you and screaming/growling while trying to eat your face off. The plot basis of the movie was...interesting. But, the ending...well. Most zombie movies end badly, right? I was actually more relieved towards the end, because by that time I wanted everyone in the movie dead...or undead as it were...

We came back here and watched a bit of Red vs. Blue, but she had to leave. I gave her my Red vs. Blue DVDs as I’m hoping to get the Box Set eventually. It’s really silly of me, but I keep going off to check my e-mail in hopes that Scamp has sent me that fan fic she was working on. We talked about it the other day and she said she made some progress on it. So of course, every time I sit down at the computer, I go and check my e-mail at five minutes intervals. I fail.

Now that I’ve spent too much money on iTunes downloads (great idea for present), I’m gonna go ahead and just chill. I don’t feel well. Later, Sunshines.

You Are a Dog

You are ready to protect and defend anyone you love. You are incredibly loyal. While you are protective and territorial at times, you are also quite playful and carefree. You are compassionate, and you understand people well. You pick up on emotions. You are eager to help people, and you are a natural best friend. You enjoy being around others.
