RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

1. I hate driving. But I don't have a choice. Either way, I'm fucked.
2. I am a sectional eater. Mixed foods or mush drives me nuts!
3. I'm ridiculously honest about myself. Ask me anything, I have nothing to hide.
4. I get excited about my toilet being clean.
5. I've recently become hooked on good club concerts! :) (And I can hardly wait until 11 Dec!!! :))
6. I have no interest in politics except to hate them. I've only voted ONCE in my life.
7. I hate staying in one place for too long. 18 months is too long without travel. Hence, I've started planning for my 30th b'day trip to Finland before I've even finished planning my trip with my best friend in March.
8. I love planning vacations and making them happen.
9. My only fear is spiders.
10. I don't like when people try to tell me what I am or what I should be. I know me better than anyone else ever will.

And there aren't even six people who actually read this journal, so if you wanna do it, have a blast... I really don't care.

movies...

2006-11-12T23:50:36Z

I've decided that today... erm... this evening... I'm going to do some me-time. :)

First I've got to clean up this pigsty just a wee bit... make space for doing me-things. And then, or perhaps during cleanings, I will put on a DVD and then sit in the middle of my freshly cleaned and newly vacuumed room, and I will scrapbook some. I've still got a lot of the detroit trip to finish, and a shitload to do from Amanda and Lucas! :-P

I may (or not) be able to access the washer/dryer today and get some laundry done, too... I'm out of comfortable underwear, and although thongs are not wholly uncomfortable, they're certainly not my first pick. (sorry if that's TMI.. :-P)

So yeah. That's my plan. And dinner with parents. Joy. Just what I love, listening to everyone bitch at me about how I need to find a new job... *sigh*

Ahhhh... overtime on a 1:1 telemetry night... :) Wonderfulness. :) I actually had the time and inspiration to START a new story!! And I wrote about five pages worth!! :) I'm so happy!! :) But now, after 13 hours in a dark room writing by the light of a telemetry monitor, I'm going to rest my eyes before I go get my oil changed this afternoon... :) *glee*

something intelligent

2006-11-10T00:55:30Z

I swear I had something intelligent to put in here... I really really did... I promise you...

Sadly, the moment was fleeting and flew south for the impending winter...

Tell me what you did today... :-P

who knew it was so simple?

2006-11-08T09:21:25Z

So I finally figured out how to get the nose-studs in without killing myself in the process... stretch the hole. It's well beyond healed (despite the previous damage I've done to it by shoving in and yanking out the nose-bones), and it only took me about six months to figure it out... *sigh* So yes, the booger collector, having lost its gem in the shower finally, is no longer in my nose. Its straight stem with a ball inside now... and it will stay that way until the gem falls out of this one... we'll see how many weeks that takes.

In other news, my desktop computer is pissing me off mightily. For some reason it doesn't want to detect the microphone as a microphone. It detects it as stereo speakers. Granted, it's not the most high tech piece of equipment, but there's no mistaking the stupid thing for speakers! I finally gave up for the night, as long as the speaker speakers are working, I'm okay... I'll work on it tomorrow.

I really haven't got much to say. School is school, work is lacking, and I think I've pretty much completely lost that adrenaline rush that has kept me going since September. Sadly, no one good is really playing around here, and even so, I have no money from lack of work to spend on non-existant concerts anyway! *grrr*

Oh yeah, mum took Harley!! (aka Locke) I'm so happy she took him!! Out of the three, he's my favorite, and he loooooooooooooooves me, too!! :) So even if he's not mine, I can still see him regularly. :) I stopped by PetSmart this evening and found an appropriately sized collar for him, too. :) He looks so cute in it!! :)

Off I go to finish my unit 2 review lesson for swedish before bed...

third week

2006-11-05T05:43:13Z

This is my third week in a month without work... and it fucking sucks. I'm broke, I've got at least two CC payments that are going to be late, I haven't been able to pay my rent or car insurance, and my fridge supply is steadily waning. *grrrr*

But on the bright side (so you all don't come down with the firm belief that I'm a hardcore pessimist), this week is one where it's kinda good I'm not working... 'cause I was sick the first half of the week, and am still stuffy and sniffly and coughy.

Have I mentioned that my sister brought home the little black tit hugger's (he didn't survive, unfortunately... *sad*) three siblings on Monday?? Two little boys and one little girl. They've been titled Locke, Stalk, and Beryl. I think I've fallen in love with Locke... whom I've renamed to Harley, 'cause he's got a motor on him!!! So we've spent the week socializing the little boogers and have thus converted them from defensive, hissy, spitty little cocksuckers into sweet, loving, cuddly, and purry little balls of kitten fluff. :) I'm encouraging my parents to adopt Harley... 'cause he's my cutie... and he has a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge crush on Katie!!!! :) It's the cutest thing ever, 'cause whenever he sees her walking around my room (mind you, they're not tested for feline diseases, thus they do not get to play), he goes all squeaky and gets excited and purrs even louder!! It's brilliant!! Katie just looks at him as if to say 'are you kidding me?!'

I suppose I aught to think of something productive to do... maybe finish my current swedish lesson, or something... clean, put away clean and dirty laundry, work on my speech, find a permanent job... something...

They are soooooooooooo off... :-P

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Comatose

2006-11-01T19:31:33Z

Wow. I feel like I just woke up from a coma. It's a very very rare occasion that I get to sleep flush through the night, all the way until my alarm goes off at 11am. But this morning, it is oddly silent. Perhaps it's the post-halloween hangover that's keeping people quiet. The kids are in school, and parents are home raiding their candy sacks. Maybe the shock that it's November already. Wasn't it just August? Of January for that matter even. Damn, I've had a busy year!!

I was having some odd, senseless dreams this morning. I couldn't translate them even if I wanted to.

Here's some other fascinating news, though!! We're ending up having to socialize Ash's (RIP) three siblings. I brought one of the hissy, spitty little brats up here with me for a while last night, and ohhhhhhh did I have it's motor going!! It was cuteness!! Little black fluffy things!! I might go downstairs and do some more of that. :)

I obviously didn't get to dress up yesterday. I had class, and I should have been at the fucking HIM concert!! *grrrr* But noooooooooooooooooooo... it was cancelled... *boohiss* But oh well.. I had a wicked bad sore throat anyway.

I get to sleep??

2006-10-29T19:04:03Z

My mum just picked up the wormy little black tit-hugger. I get to sleep in more than 20 minute incriments. He's still doing okay. No more little writhing nasties in his faeces, and he lets you know when he wants something. I told my mum to bag up all dirty towels 'cause roundworm is contagious to both animals and humans.

I'm going to sleep now. For more than 20 minutes.

Scrawny little black tit hugger

2006-10-29T07:39:39Z

I'm kitten sitting tonight... apparently all night. Joy.

But I made a discovery just over an hour ago... a very very disgusting discovery. As to why the little black tit hugger is scrawny...

He has worms. And he shit some out. They were still squirmy... I nearly threw up.

I googled 'worms in kittens' and figured out that he has roundworms... relatively harmless... but still disgusting, and that would be why he's so scrawny. They're absorbing his nutrition.

So, sakon76, if you read this before I turn him back over to you, get him de-wormed as soon as possible. Like Sunday if at all humanly possible. Monday is tolerable, but I'm not kitten sitting all day... I need to sleep at some point, too.

I'm going to go attempt to feed him again.

...

2006-10-28T00:01:13Z

Have I mentioned that I hate driving? I hate it even more when it takes more than 1 hour to go 20 miles... *sigh* leaving now... *snarlhiss*

Oh the CUTENESS!!!

2006-10-24T03:31:10Z

But my sister is technically 'fostering' him (yeah, and we all remember how long I ended up 'fostering' Katie.. :-P), so I'll let her give up the goods on the scrawny little black tit hugger she brought home from work today...

are you bored, too?

2006-10-19T20:22:57Z

I'm not really bored, I think I'm just hungry...

Go here and say WTF?!

Well there is some good news...

2006-10-18T23:45:36Z

The optometrist decided not to increase the contact lens prescription in my left eye... solely for the reason that I do occasionally drive at night, and it's naturally more difficult to see at night. So whence I have the money to go order my contacts, I only need to buy one box at a time!! *glee* 'cause both my contacts are going to be +2.0!! *happy for cost-effectiveness, but not for blindness*

That's all. The winds are killing me today!! New Lost and new Jericho on tonight... perhaps at some point my tele will decide to get CBS again so I can watch jericho....

My hair is 75% straight, my eyes have gotten twice as bad (I've gone from +1.5 in my left and +1.0 in my right to +2.25 and +2.0 respectively)... my vision is now worse than my mum's. Fuck. I had to spend $200+ on the exam and a new pair of glasses. I'm not working againg tonight. That's two weeks in a row.

Does anybody feel the urge to start up a collection for me so my car isn't reposessed and my landlord doesn't kick me out at the end of the month? (Okay, so I rent from my parents, and I doubt they're going to kick me out, but still....)

I'm feeling really really fucked...

2006-10-14T21:54:51Z

And unfortunately, I don't mean that in the sense that I'm getting sex.

I haven't worked in literally TWO WEEKS!!! I need to put gas in my car. I need to pay my car payment. I need to pay my rent at the end of the month. I need to eat. I need to refill my prescription. None of which I can do at this point because I don't have ANY money.

It's bad enough that I'm having to transfer $50 as a last resort from my euro savings account to cover gas... because realistically the world now revolves around gas... at least here it does.

I called HBH yesterday and left a message for the DON about signing on permanently there, but obviously, it's now Saturday... I won't hear anything until Monday. I'm about ready to go out and take any job I can get... just not in a nursing home. I'm talking about waitressing or hostessing or ANYTHING... 'cause obviously the registry is failing me.

elenisiliel @ 2006-10-14T00:55:00

2006-10-14T07:56:49Z

Once again, not working has led to boredom on an extreme level... so I found my makeup case tonight (yes, I actually found it... after about an hour and a half of searching...) and this is what I did...

Nice, huh?? I think I need to expand my lipcolors, though, 'cause I couldn't find anything to match... *pout*
